When returning to Sioux City, it was Cheng Yun who drove the car.

Lin Jing was sitting in the co-pilot, fiddling with the necklace, her face still filled with the joy of finding it again.The clasp of the necklace cracked a nick, causing it to fall into the grass.

She gently stroked the little star on the silver chain with her fingertips, and turned her head slightly to glance at Cheng Yun indiscriminately.Cheng Yun stared ahead and concentrated on driving, her profile was exquisite and perfect, like flawless jade.

She remembered the necklace she gave Cheng Yun, and wanted to ask him if that necklace was still there.But he opened his mouth and hesitated several times, but he couldn't ask.

Finally, he simply turned his head to look at the deepening twilight outside the window, his heart was slightly calm, and he stopped talking.

On Wednesday, as soon as it was time to get off work, Cheng Yun clocked in and left work on time, without any preparation for overtime.

She drove to her mother's place in a hurry, but during rush hour, the road was blocked by cars.

Cheng Yun was blocked in the middle of the road, surrounded by harsh whistles and endless noise.

She took out her mobile phone and called her mother first.

Today is her mother's birthday, and Cheng Yun originally planned to have dinner in the store, but her mother insisted that eating at home is comfortable, and she doesn't have many relatives.Cheng Yun thought it was right, so she didn't insist much, thinking that her mother would buy the vegetables first, and she could help cook together when she rushed over after get off work.

But the governor backfired, she wanted to get home early, but the car was stuck on the road.According to the congestion situation, I don't know when I can go back.

After Cheng Yun dialed out the phone, the connection was quickly connected.

After listening to her explanation of the situation, Mother Cheng smiled cheerfully and said, "It's all right, don't worry. I have someone here to help, don't worry. Come here slowly, and be careful when driving on the road."

Indistinctly, Cheng Yun could still hear someone talking next to him. The voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

She said hello, told her mother to take her time, don't get tired, and then ended the call.

Her mother's unusual joy made Cheng Yun a little suspicious, what could make her mother so happy?Through the phone, Cheng Yun could feel her overflowing joy.

And her mother said that someone would help. Could it be that those relatives arrived so soon?

She thought about it, but she didn't understand it, so she didn't think much about it.

Cheng Yun was stuck in traffic all the way, and finally lost her temper when she was stuck in the traffic jam.

When I got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

Her mother called several times, asking her where she was, and said that all the uncle's family had arrived, and they would wait for her to come back for dinner.

After parking the car in the community, Cheng Yun took the elevator up to the eighth floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard lively conversations in the room.

The door was ajar, Cheng Yun pushed the door open and went in, first saw the uncle's family.Uncle and aunt were sitting on the sofa, next to them were my cousin and sister-in-law, who also brought a little boy in his teens.

Cheng Yun came in in a hurry, and after calling for someone, she quickly said she was sorry, saying that there was a traffic jam on the road, otherwise she would have arrived early.

Because of her mother's illness, Dad's relatives have basically lost contact with each other, and only have contact with his uncle's family.

When her mother was seriously ill, her uncle tried his best to help raise money.It's just that my uncle's family is not rich, so there's not much they can do to help.

"It's okay, there must be a traffic jam during the rush hour." The uncle looked simple and honest, and said with a smile: "We have just arrived, and we were going to come to help first, but we also got stuck in the traffic jam. So you have to thank Lin Jing, if not She came over to help first, how could your mother be busy with such a large table of dishes."

Cheng Yun was changing shoes at the entrance, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look towards the living room, her eyes just met Lin Jing who just came out of the kitchen.

Lin Jing was wearing an apron, holding a pot of cold vegetables in her hand. She had obviously heard the news of Cheng Yun's return, and she was not surprised when she saw her, but nodded at Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun changed her shoes and walked in, but she was still a little unresponsive.She didn't expect that Lin Jing would be here, and she didn't expect that the person her mother said to help was the other party.

While talking, Cheng's mother also came out of the kitchen, looked at Lin Jing with a smile on her face, and said to Cheng Yun: "Yes, thanks to Jingjing for helping me tonight. I didn't expect Jingjing to be so good at cooking now. Tonight's big dishes are basically made by her. You go and wash your hands, and you will be ready to eat right away. "

Cheng Yun nodded and was about to wash her hands. When she passed by Lin Jing, she wanted to ask her why she was here.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jing didn't look at her at all, and before Cheng Yun could say anything, she turned and went into the kitchen with a cold attitude, ready to serve food outside.

"Jingjing, look, is this soup ready?" Her mother's voice came from the kitchen.

"Well, it's done." Lin Jing said with a smile, she didn't see the indifference when she was facing Cheng Yun: "Aunt Xia, you take out the other dishes first, and I will serve the soup."

Seeing this happy scene, Cheng Yun couldn't help feeling helpless.What the hell did she do to Lin Jing? Her nose was not her nose, her eyes were not her eyes.

After washing her hands, Cheng Yun also went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, and soon all the dishes were served on the dining table, filling a whole large table, with fish and meat, all kinds of color, smell and taste, it looked very rich and delicious.

Cheng's mother hurriedly called everyone to come and sit down, ready to eat.

Cheng Yun thought that Lin Jing didn't want to see her now, so she definitely didn't want to sit next to her, so when she sat down, she didn't sit next to her, but sat in an empty seat.

Unexpectedly, after she was seated, Lin Jing's face looked even more ugly, with a cold face, and she glared at Cheng Yun several times in displeasure.

Cheng Yun was puzzled for a while, pondered for a while, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she moved to the side and sat next to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing glanced at Cheng Yun, although she didn't say anything, her complexion became much better.

During the meal, everyone was chatting, and when talking about the recent situation, Lin Jing was the first to ask.

Lin Jing didn't hide anything, she simply told the truth about her being demoted and returning to China. After knowing how well she was doing now, her uncle's family looked at her with admiration and envy.

Mother Cheng was a little more proud.After all, Lin Jing has lived with them for so many years, and she has long regarded each other as her own granddaughter.

While chatting, the topic somehow turned to Cheng Yun again.

The uncle asked with concern on his face, "Where's Yunyun? Are you talking about a boyfriend?"

Cheng Yun suddenly felt a headache, and replied: "No."

When the uncle heard the words, his face was full of sadness, and he said in a rambling manner: "Why don't you talk about it? Didn't you meet the right one? You can't delay it any longer at your age. You have to take it easy. Think about it, even if you don't In a hurry, your mother is also in a hurry to hold her grandson, isn't she? When your uncle was your age, your cousin was already in junior high school."

The topic is still the commonplace urging marriage, even the content has not changed much. Cheng Yun has heard so much over the years that her ears are callused, and she is basically immune. She just listens with a smile and is not ready to speak.

This kind of thing, the more you explain, the more troublesome it will be. It is better to keep silent.

On the contrary, Lin Jing frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy.

Cheng's mother glanced at Cheng Yun, knowing that she didn't want to mention this, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, young people nowadays get married late, and it's a lifetime event, don't rush, just take your time, you can always meet the right one .”

Uncle obviously didn't agree with this: "It's because you are too used to her. Marriage isn't all about living a life. After being together for a long time, feelings will naturally develop. How can there be so much affection and love. Besides, don't you want to have a grandson? There are grandchildren upstairs and downstairs, you are so deserted, what do you call going down like this..."

Cheng's mother's eyes darkened for a moment, and she tried her best to smooth things over and said, "Okay, brother, it's my birthday today, let's not talk about it."

While talking, she changed the subject and asked, "Qiqi will be in the sixth grade next year, right? How is his grade?"

Uncle sighed, but didn't say anything more, the topic then shifted to Qiqi, talking about his poor grades and not being able to keep up with the courses.

It's Qiqi's turn to be hurt.

Seeing this, Cheng Yun breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that if she continued to chat, she would be unable to hold back her rebuttal.Today is her mother's birthday, and she doesn't want to make trouble.

She picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of ribs into the bowl as if hiding her emotions, when she suddenly noticed a hot stare beside her.

Cheng Yun looked sideways, just in time to meet Lin Jing's gaze.

After just a moment of touching, Lin Jing quickly moved away again, as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, my uncle's family was still busy going back and didn't stay long.

After they left, the room instantly became quiet, leaving only Cheng Yun and the three of them.

Cheng's mother cleaned the dining table, Cheng Yun and Lin Jing also helped, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.

In a trance, there was a feeling of returning to seven years ago.At that time they lived under the same roof, Cheng's mother cooked, and Cheng Yun and Lin Jing took turns washing the dishes.Sometimes I can't remember clearly, and I don't want to wash it, and there will be some small disputes, and the final decision is made with rock-paper-scissors.

There were three people in the kitchen, and it looked a bit crowded. The incandescent lamp above the head was bright, dispelling the darkness of the room.

Cheng Yun put the leftovers into the refrigerator and asked Lin Jing, "Why are you here?"

She had wanted to ask about this for a long time, but it was not convenient for her uncle and the others to ask about it.

Before Lin Jing could speak, Cheng's mother was not very happy and said: "Speaking of this, I still want to ask you, why didn't you tell me about Jingjing's return to China? If I didn't meet Jingjing just today, I wouldn't know I know she's back."

Lin Jing immediately nodded and said, "Aunt Xia called me here."

"It's okay, Jingjing, don't be afraid of her." Mother Cheng protected Lin Jing, and looked at Cheng Yun with an expression of "If you don't explain clearly, this matter will never end".

Cheng Yun felt a headache, looked at Lin Jing, who was protected by her mother, and was obviously secretly proud, and explained helplessly: "Mom, things are not what you think, why are you keeping this from you? Actually, Jingjing and I just met Not long."

"But Jingjing said that she has been back to China for a few months..."

Cheng's mother silenced her voice as she spoke. She obviously guessed what was going on, and sighed, "You two children...are a family, so there is no obstacle you can't get over."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jing with a very sincere and sincere tone: "Jingjing, although you are not born to my aunt, but all these years, my aunt has treated you as her own daughter from the bottom of my heart. Auntie doesn't know why Xiaoyun made you angry , but you are angry with Xiaoyun, why don’t you even talk to your auntie? After so many years, you never thought about calling your auntie? Auntie misses you very much, and often asks Xiaoyun about you, you know? "

She looked at Lin Jing with love in her eyes, obviously those words came from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Jing pursed her lips, full of guilt and uneasiness, the better Aunt Xia treats her, the heavier her mood will be.How could she avenge her kindness and drag Aunt Xia's only daughter into the abyss.

These years, it's not that she doesn't want to contact Aunt Xia, but that she really doesn't know how to face Aunt Xia who thinks about her.

When Cheng Yun took her home, instead of making things difficult for her, Auntie Xia loved her everywhere and treated her better than Cheng Yun.

Lin Jing had a bad relationship with her parents since she was a child. Later, the two divorced. His father was away all year round. She had never experienced family affection at all, let alone what it was like to be loved. It was Aunt Xia and Cheng Yun who gave her a home and taught her How to love, let her understand that she deserves to be loved.

She often thought that if she hadn't met Cheng Yun back then, and hadn't come to Cheng's house, she might have become a more indifferent person, like a cold machine, with no trace of humanity in her body.

"I'm sorry." Lin Jing whispered very seriously.Not only because she hadn't contacted Aunt Xia in these years, but also because she avenged her kindness and tried to drag Cheng Yun into the abyss.

If it weren't for her, Cheng Yun might have married and had children long ago, and lived a happy life, instead of being pointed at and talked about behind her back as she is now, and becoming an outlier in the eyes of everyone.

Mother Cheng didn't know what was going on in her heart, her eyes gradually became moist, she walked over to hug Lin Jing, and said softly: "It's okay, Auntie doesn't blame you. Auntie just wanted to tell you that no matter what, Auntie will always be you Your home, the door here will always be open to you, you are tired, tired, you can come back at any time, Auntie, you, Xiaoyun, we will always be a family, you know?"

Lin Jing lowered her eyes, covered the moist mist in her eyes, nodded vigorously, and solemnly replied: "Okay."

After Cheng's mother finished speaking, in order to alleviate the depressed atmosphere at the moment, she quickly changed the subject and talked about the square dance competition she participated in a few days ago.

As the main dancer, she led their dance team and won the No. 1 competition in one fell swoop, which made them very popular.

When she said this, she had a very proud expression on her face.

After the car accident, she was lying on the bed unable to move, and now she can dance square dance and won the No.1 square dance competition. One can imagine the hardships involved.

The three chatted, and quickly cleaned up the kitchen together, and then went out to sit on the sofa and watch TV together.Mother Cheng also went to the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit and bring it over.

The TV is currently broadcasting a popular urban drama recently. In the drama, the second female lead and her mother-in-law are arguing endlessly because of some living habits.

Cheng Yun really couldn't see it, and quickly shifted her attention to her mother and Lin Jing.

Mother Cheng hadn't seen Lin Jing for so many years, and she was very concerned about her affairs. She kept asking her questions, mostly asking her how she was doing abroad and whether she had been wronged.

Lin Jing smiled all over her face, announcing the good but not the bad: "Aunt Xia, I am doing well abroad, don't worry. There are many Chinese students there, and everyone is very united. No one dares to bully us. And Yunyun every month They will send me living expenses, and I don’t have to look for part-time jobs like other people. Over the years, I have broadened my horizons and seen many different things abroad.”

"That's true, it's definitely different abroad." Mother Cheng said with interest, "I've never been abroad before."

Lin Jing said: "Then when I have time, how about I take you to my school?"

Mother Cheng nodded quickly and said good-bye, and then asked worriedly: "But will this be troublesome? You are all busy with work, why don't you forget it."

Lin Jing said that it was all right and no trouble, but she had to apply for a passport first.After finishing speaking, she didn't give Cheng's mother a chance to refuse, so it was decided.

The two chatted very happily and happily, but Cheng Yun was left alone and neglected.

While chatting, Mother Cheng told Lin Jing not to leave and to stay at home tonight.Said that she hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there were many things she wanted to say to Lin Jing.

Although Cheng Yun didn't join the conversation, she kept listening with her ears pricked up.Hearing that her mother was staying with Lin Jing, the first thing she thought about was accommodation: "Isn't there only two bedrooms at home?"

"Don't interrupt." Cheng's mother interrupted Cheng Yun, and then made an arrangement without giving her a chance to refuse, "Jingjing, you are still sleeping in the same room as before."

Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Jing, and didn't know what to say for a while.There was even more unexplainable tension in her heart—there was only one bed in her bedroom, so wouldn't she and Jingjing have to sleep together tonight?

This is so exciting.

Lin Jing was obviously aware of this too, the corners of her lips rose instantly, she squinted her eyes slightly, and said cheerfully, "Okay."

The matter has been decided, and Cheng Yun didn't say anything more.At this time, the more you talk, the more guilty you will appear, and it is better to be frank.

It's just that after all, she couldn't really be honest.After all, apart from the time when Lin Jing got drunk last time, this was the first time she slept in the same bed with Lin Jing after she knew what Lin Jing was thinking.

Cheng Yun didn't feel bored or disgusted by this, but was more nervous and uneasy in her heart, which was very complicated and unspeakable.

There was no need to go back in a hurry at night, Mother Cheng took Lin Jing to chat for a long time, and almost made up all the missing information over the years.

Lin Jing was also very patient, sitting on the sofa with Cheng's mother, she answered whatever she asked, without any details, except for the things that worried her, she didn't hide anything else.

After chatting like this until after eleven o'clock, Cheng's mother was so sleepy that she began to yawn, and Lin Jing hurriedly advised her to go to rest first.

Mother Cheng didn't really want to go, but Lin Jing promised in the end that she would come to see her often in the future, and there were still many opportunities to chat, so she got up and went back to her room.

Seeing Cheng's mother close the door, Lin Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When chatting with Cheng's mother, her nerves were always tense, especially when Cheng's mother asked about her work and finances, she had a subtle feeling like being interrogated by her mother-in-law about her family situation.

I am afraid that I will answer something wrong and leave a bad impression on her.

It's just that Lin Jing just let go of her breath, and quickly brought it up again.

She stood up and faced Cheng Yun's bedroom.The bedroom door was ajar, and the lights were on inside, as if waiting for her to enter.

Lin Jing took a deep breath, and slowly walked over with excitement and anxiety.

She opened the door and walked into the bedroom, and saw Cheng Yun sitting on the bed in pajamas, leaning against the head of the bed, flipping through a book in her hand.She lowered her head, her expression was tranquil, and she was full of bright and beautiful breath.

But Cheng Yun held the book, but couldn't read it at all.

When the door was pushed open, she became even more nervous for a moment.

After a pause, he pretended to be calm and joked, "We've been talking for so long? I doubt she's my mother or your mother."

When she spoke, the strength of her hands increased, revealing the hidden tension in her heart.

Lin Jing was also very nervous, so she didn't notice Cheng Yun's reaction.She was so full of eyes on the other party that she couldn't think of how to answer the conversation for a long time, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, only their eyes collided fiercely, and then separated quickly and nervously in an instant, the room was so quiet that they could hear each other's violent heartbeats.

"I want to take a shower, do you have any pajamas?" After a while, Lin Jing broke the silence in a low voice.

Cheng Yun concealed her emotions, pointed to the closet next to Lin Jing and said, "The bottom one on the right, you can take it yourself. There are new underwear, and the pajamas are mine, is that okay?"

A faint smile flashed across Lin Jing's eyes, and she quickly restrained herself, saying, "Yes, yes."

She opened the door of the wooden wardrobe next to her and found the bottom shelf on the right.The clothes inside were a bit messy, Lin Jing rummaged carefully, and took out a piece of underwear without paying attention, remembering that it was worn by Cheng Yun, and she had been in contact with her without any distance, Lin Jing blushed, and took advantage of Cheng Yun's absence. Note that even put it back in place quickly.

The pajamas were pressed at the bottom, Lin Jing raised the clothes on top, and when she pulled it out, a delicate small box was also pulled out and fell to the ground.

When the small box hit the ground, the lid was thrown aside and the contents fell to the floor.

Lin Jing was startled, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but stopped before she could reach it.

Because she was surprised to find that it was actually the necklace she gave Cheng Yun, thinking that the other party had probably thrown it away long ago.
