one to two

After breakfast, Qi Xin called Qi Yuelai first, and after Ai You cleaned up, the two went out.

Ai You originally thought that Qi Xin was going home to get some clothes or other necessities, but unexpectedly, after returning home, Qi Xin went straight to the bedroom and changed into a stylish one-piece dress, and stepped on high heels and went straight to the elevator.

"Are we going so early?" Ai You couldn't help asking after getting into the car.

Qi Xin usually wears business attire most of the time, and prefers casual clothes during vacations. Today's attire made Ai You stare at her.Qi Xin couldn't help but think that when the two first met, the girl would sneak glances at him from time to time, but the look in her eyes back then was not as straightforward as it is now.She hooked the corners of her lips, leaned over and kissed Ai You's face, then started the car and drove out. Ai You was both surprised and delighted by the kiss, and her earlier anxiety gradually dissipated.

There was a lot of traffic on the weekend, Qi Xin turned her head to look at Ai You, turned her head and held the steering wheel seriously, and said softly, "Go to the mall first."

Ai You knew it in her heart, stretched out her hand to adjust the music in the car, and didn't say anything more, but occasionally turned her head to look at Qi Xin.

The two walked around the shopping mall, Qi Xin was speechless all the way, and Ai You couldn't say much, she glanced at Qi Xin's right foot from time to time, fearing that walking so much in high heels would make her overwhelmed.It's a pity that looking down from several floors, Qi Xin didn't change his face and was out of breath. He stopped in front of a milk tea shop and said to Ai You, "Are you tired? Take a break first."

"Sister Xin, actually, we don't need to be so polite." The two found a small round table by the window and sat down. Ai You took a sip of mango double-skin milk, raised her head and said seriously to Qi Xin. Most of the time when parents give gifts, Fang Suqing brings some interesting things back from other places. If Ai You likes them, she can take them back to her home.

"This is etiquette." Qi Xin said calmly. What she drank was kumquat lemon juice. After all, this was the first time to formally meet her parents. Transfer a little of her tension.

"Then do you know what my parents like?" Ai You asked while biting the spoon.

"I'm afraid nothing can compare to you." Coupled with Qi Xin's clear and shallow voice, these words sound particularly moving.

Ai You laughed when she heard this, she looked at Qi Xin and said, "I think they will definitely like you very much."

"How did you see that?" Qi Xin glanced at the time, then looked up at Ai You calmly.

"Because you have common hobbies, haha!" Ai You smiled triumphantly, and the string of laughter infected the people around her. From time to time, some people turned their heads to look at their table.

Qi Xin laughed along with her. She liked to see Ai You so active. At this time, Ai You was full of happy factors, and she couldn't help but want to move closer to Ai You.

After buying the presents, Qi Xin took Ai You to the barber shop to wash her hair and touch up her makeup. When she was almost finished, Qi Yue came to find her with a bag of things.

"Ai You, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are going to abduct my cousin home, that's amazing." Qi Yue came to see Ai You and wanted to tease her.

"Hey, sister Xiaolai, my mother should have prepared a lot of delicious food, why don't you come with me too." After Ai You and Qi Yuelai got acquainted, Qi Yuelai's hobbies were also clear. He told Qi Yue to tell jokes, but used delicious food to seduce her.

"I can't go with you this time. It's delicious. It's the same if you cook it yourself for me another day." Qi Yuelai waited for Ai You to promise to make delicious food for her before letting the two of them leave.

When they arrived at the destination, Fang Suqing was busy in the kitchen, Ai Jue was checking the items in the suitcase in the study, Ai You opened the door with the key, helped Qi Xin get new slippers, and took the big and small bags in her hand Put it on the long table in the living room.

"Mom, we're here." Ai You poured water for Qi Xin, went to the kitchen to report to Fang Suqing, Fang Suqing hurriedly put down the dishes she was washing, dried her hands and came out.Ai Jue probably heard the movement in the study, put down the notebook in his hand and left the study.

After Qi Xin entered the room, he looked around at the furnishings in the room. The living room is very spacious and the decoration style is casual and bold. There are a few enlarged photos on the wall. Looking around, they are all photos of natural landscapes that are rare to see. This picture is an enlarged version of the "Running in the Sunset" that I saw at Ai You's house. Standing in front of this person-high photo, the grand scene made her heart soar.Seeing that both Fang Suqing and Ai Jue had come out, she hurriedly turned around to say hello to them: "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Uncle!"

Fang Suqing looked at the two standing together, didn't pay much attention to Ai You, only nodded with a smile on Qi Xin, then turned to Ai Jue and raised her eyebrows: "It's more beautiful and temperamental than when I saw it last time."

Ai Jue nodded repeatedly, took two steps forward and said, "Stop standing, please sit down."

"Ai You, I asked you to bring Ah Xin over for a casual meal. Why do you buy so many things?" Fang Suqing sat down next to Ai Jue, looked at the things on the coffee table and asked.

"Sister Xin said it was a courtesy." Ai You looked at Qi Xin and said, stepped forward and took out a white handbag, put it in front of Fang Suqing and said, "Sister Xin said that this skin care product is very suitable for you."

Qi Xin never left a word, it seems that Ai You listens to this new daughter-in-law very much.Fang Suqing looked at the logo on the handbag, her eyes lit up for a moment, she turned to Qi Xin and asked in surprise, "Ah Xin, how do you know that I like this one the most?"

"The last time I was walking on the road with my aunt, the wind blew over, and I could vaguely smell the refreshing fragrance of your body. At that time, I felt that it matched the style of this family."

Qi Xin smiled lightly, and Fang Suqing couldn't help but look at her twice more, good guy, this thought is too delicate.

"It's really interesting, you take a break first, I'll go prepare dinner." Fang Suqing said with a smile, stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen.Ai You stood up and said, "I'll help you."

"No, Ah Xin came here for the first time, how could she leave her girlfriend in the living room." Fang Suqing smiled, and blinked at Ai You. Ai You's face flushed slightly, so she had to sit back.

Ai Jue saw that there was only a glass of boiled water in front of Qi Xin, and said to Ai You, "There are tea and coffee in the cupboard, what flavor does Ah Xin like?"

"She likes to drink iceberg snow chrysanthemum." Ai You replied, she thought for a while, and then said: "But she has been drinking less recently. Dad, don't be so polite, I will take good care of her."

"Xiao Youyou, your love for your daughter-in-law is very similar to mine." Ai Jue said with a smile, since Fang Suqing didn't say much now, naturally she wouldn't object to the two of them.

After talking on the phone with Ai You in the morning, Fang Suqing asked Ai Jue to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, saying that a distinguished guest was coming tonight.When Ai Jue came back from buying vegetables, he leaned into Fang Suqing's ear and asked, "Wife, who is the distinguished guest, and I want you to cook by yourself."

"Ai You's boss, if you guessed right, she should be her girlfriend now." Fang Suqing took the shopping bag, put the meat into the refrigerator, and brought the fruits and vegetables to the kitchen.

"What? Ai You is in love?" Ai Jue asked excitedly, and followed Fang Suqing into the kitchen.

Fang Suqing turned her head to look at Ai Jue, but she didn't see any other emotions on his face except surprise. "Are you so happy that your daughter is in love?"

"Of course, in the future, Xiao Youyou will have no reason to say that I occupy you anymore." Ai Jue said proudly, but was glared at by Fang Suqing, and he said seriously: "Wife, let me tell you about your concerns, her boss, Now it's her girlfriend, it sounds like nonsense, but whether it's position or gender, it's not as important as our family's Ai You's happiness and joy, isn't it?"

Only then did Fang Suqing smile with satisfaction: "Over the years, I have never missed you."

Ai Jue recalled the conversation with Fang Suqing in the morning, looked at the shyness and surprise hidden in the eyes of a beautiful woman in front of him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I'll help in the kitchen, Xin, you can be more casual, treat this place as your own home. good."

After Ai Jue left, Qi Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She looked at Ai You, her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't say a word.Seeing this, Ai You leaned against Qi Xin, held her hands, gently rubbed the back of her hands, and said softly: "Did I bring you here today, is it too sudden?"

Qi Xin shook her head, "No, I was surprised, too surprised."

Ai You knew that Qi Xin was referring to her parents' attitude. At the beginning, she was somewhat surprised, after all, the social atmosphere was very tense.I tried Fang Suqing's thoughts before, and her wise mother must have known that she would bring a different lover home, but after facing it, the tolerant attitude of the two let her know that the love of parents, Much deeper than she imagined.

The dinner wasn't too complicated, Fang Suqing cooked some local specialties that were more homely, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, all kinds of flavors could be tasted at this dinner table.Fang Suqing served everyone enthusiastically. Ai You and Qi Xin smiled at each other from time to time, and were very satisfied with the atmosphere at the dinner table.

"Ai Jue and I are not at home all year round. These dishes are bought temporarily. They are relatively fresh. You should eat more, Xin."

"It tastes good." Qi Xin smiled, "Ai You's cooking skills have been completely passed down by Auntie."

Fang Suqing glanced at Ai You, picked up the wine glass and gently swirled the red wine in the glass, took a sip, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't this wine bought in the market?"

This wine was what Qi Yue came to bring to Qi Xin when she was in the barber shop. She had tried to transport it back from France before. Whether it was the color, the aroma or the taste, it was very mellow.

"Actually, I just borrowed flowers to present Buddha. This wine was given by my cousin. I don't know much about wine."

After dinner, it was still early, Ai You helped Fang Suqing clean up the dishes, returned to the living room with a plate of fruit, leaned on Qi Xin's shoulder, rubbed her belly and murmured: "I'm so full, how are you? Is Mom's cooking delicious?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could you be full." Qi Xin said softly, patted Ai You's leg and said, "Don't sit still, stand up and walk first."

Ai Youyiyan circled around in the living room, while Qi Xin sat on the sofa chatting with Fang Suqing and Ai Jue.

"Many children are very envious of our way of educating Ai You. In fact, only Ai You knows the loneliness of this way. Her father and I were young at that time, and we wanted to spend more time with her, but we didn't want to give up our original love. She had no choice but to selfishly sacrifice her normal study time. Outsiders only know that Ai You has traveled to many places with her parents since she was a child. In fact, most of the time, when we are working, she can only watch us busy by herself. Or make her own games, sometimes, we are too busy, she can't hold on and falls asleep on the side, and she has suffered a lot with us since she was a child."

Fang Suqing's eyes followed Ai You's figure, her eyes were full of distress, she paused, then turned to Qi Xin and said: "She didn't have many friends since she was a child, and her temperament became more and more withdrawn. Later, when she grew up, she could decide some things by herself. So she didn't want to run around with us anymore. Over the years, we haven't seen her make any reliable friends, and I feel really sorry."

"She is quite active in the company, and her colleagues think highly of her." Qi Xin said softly, and the sparkle in Fang Suqing's eyes made her want to comfort her. I feel that I am not doing enough for my children.

"No, you must be wondering why her father and I don't object to your matter, right?" Fang Suqing looked at Qi Xin and asked with a smile. Qi Xin was said to be the center of the matter, so she smiled and waited for Fang Suqing's next words.

"We have been outside for half our life, and we have encountered all kinds of things. One of the reasons why society is rich is the diversity of people. People are different, and some things cannot be judged by the same standard. To restrict these kinds of diversity, many people have been obsessed for a lifetime, and they have not been able to get what they want until they die. They have lived in obsession, struggle and pain all their lives. Our request to Ai You is very simple, and we hope that she can live her own life As long as the life you want is on the right path, we are willing to help her as much as possible. Although you and her are both girls, this does not prevent you from giving each other happiness, am I right?"

Ai Jue sat beside Fang Suqing, and the two looked at Qi Xin together, full of expectation.
