Falling Heart

Chapter 88 Goodbye Parents
Seeing Li Xin again after a month, Shen Qing threw herself at her, weeping with joy.

"Aunt Xin, it's great to see you."

"It sounds like I'm dying," Li Xin smiled lightly and took her suitcase, "Sure enough, you've lost a lot of weight when I'm not here."

Li Xin smiled mysteriously as if remembering something, "By the way, there will be a surprise in a while."

Shen Qing's eyes sparkled, "Did you make a feast for me?"

Shen Qing didn't know about Li Xin's so-called surprise until the door was opened.

She clearly remembered that the last time she saw Shen You and Li Qinglu was half a year ago. After they sent her to Taoyuan Community, they drove to the airport without any regrets.

Li Qinglu was originally sitting upright, but when she saw Shen Qing standing still, she got up and took two steps towards her. "Qingqing?"

Before her hand touched her, Shen Qing subconsciously took two steps back and hid behind Li Xin.

With a trembling voice, she said, "Why... come back now?"

Shen You explained embarrassingly: "I'm sorry Qingqing, something happened there temporarily, and I was supposed to come back after the Chinese New Year..."

"Then you can also tell me in advance, and you will not come back until now..."

Shen Qing covered her face, tears seeped through her fingers.

Li Qinglu wiped her tears with a piece of paper, and gently embraced her by the shoulders.

"I'm sorry, I'll let you know in time."

Li Xin also comforted her softly at the side, and Shen Qing calmed down before sitting back on the sofa.

Shen You just looked at her with relief, and said with emotion: "Qingqing really looks more and more like your mother when she was young."

Li Qinglu threatened with a smile: "What do you mean, I'm not young anymore?"

Shen You quickly comforted her: "How can it be, my Lulu will always be eighteen!"

Shen Qing was used to the fact that these two were still in love after 18 years of marriage, so she discussed with Li Xin what to eat for lunch.

"You don't need to add us," Shen You interjected, "We're going to catch the plane back to country B later."

Seeing Shen Qing's expression froze, Li Qinglu was distressed and apologetic, "It's still late at night over there, we were afraid that Qingqing would be disappointed if she found out that we wouldn't come back, so we deliberately chose the flight overnight. Now it's morning when we go back, and we can still catch up with the meeting."

"Then I'll take you to the airport." Sensing the stiff atmosphere, Li Xin got up to block Shen Qing's lost gaze, "There's dessert in the refrigerator, if Qingqing is hungry, you can eat first."

Shen Qing obediently responded: "...OK."

She calmly watched the three go out, Li Qinglu looked back worriedly.

Shen Qing sat peacefully, feeling the gaze, raised her eyes, and smiled softly like Li Qinglu.

"It's okay, you go back, I'm fine by myself."

Li Qinglu was heartbroken when she saw it, and wanted to give some advice, but Shen You grabbed her shoulders and walked out.

"It can't be delayed anymore. If there is a traffic jam, it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up."

The door was hurriedly taken, and the chains had not had time to close.

Shen Qing looked at the door swaying in the wind for a while, then slowly got up to close the door.

She hugged a pillow and watched a movie on the sofa. It was the high-scoring and touching movie "The Loyal Dog Hachiko" recommended by Zhang Jianshan.

After the movie ended, Shen Qing took the time to save half a pack of papers. She picked up her phone, and only noticed the message Li Xin sent half an hour ago because it was set to silent.

【Qingqing, there is a traffic jam on the road, I may not go there for a while, I can only work hard for you to solve the lunch first, okay~】

She sniffed and said hello.

Shen Qing finished watching the credits with her knees on her knees, but accidentally clicked on [Discovery] when she exited WeChat.

When he saw the profile picture of Xie Mingchao displayed next to the red dot in the circle of friends, his hands clicked in one step faster than his brain.

The accompanying picture is a photo of a table full of dishes, and the copywriting is...

Shen Qing moved closer to the screen in disbelief, to make sure that she was not mistaken.

is a cute Kaomoji,
Immediately, she dispelled the guess that it was Xie Mingchao who posted it himself. According to him, he has never posted on Moments, let alone pretending to be cute in daily life.

Shen Qing could imagine Xie Mingchao's expression when he saw Chen Ziwan's Moments.

She couldn't help laughing, but immediately felt miserable again.

At least he has relatives to accompany him, but she has nothing.

Shen Qing liked his circle of friends, depressed and turned off the phone. When he was thinking about whether to order takeaway or go downstairs to eat, the phone vibrated.

Turn on the screen, and a pop-up window will display a message from Xie Mingchao.

She opened it expectantly, and there was another message with emoji.

[Qingqing, have you eaten yet, why don't you come to our house to eat? ╮(‵▽′)╭]

The word [OK] had already been typed out, and Shen Qing realized that this seemed too presumptuous.

The other party had probably been waiting for her to reply to the message, and sent another one immediately after she stopped typing.

[Don't hesitate, I asked Chao Chao, he said you can't ask for anything]

Shen Qing sent out the word [good] immediately.

Wearing plush slippers, she trotted towards the elevator entrance and pressed the button for the fourth floor expectantly.

When Xie Mingchao opened the door for her, he frowned suspiciously: "Why are you here?"

Shen Qing was at a loss: "You didn't call me..."

"Hey, Qingqing is here?"

Chen Ziwan poked her head out from behind, and pushed Xie Mingchao away, "You boy, go to the side, I called Qingqing."

Xie Mingchao: "Maybe there is not enough food."

"Just don't eat it," Chen Ziwan gave him a dissatisfied look, and smiled brightly when facing Shen Qing, "You can't wrong Qingqing anyway."

"Forget it, I'll cook some more," Xie Mingchao consciously moved out of the way, and added before going to the kitchen, "After all, she's pretty good at eating."

Shen Qing was almost about to say something to Xie Mingchao. Considering that Chen Ziwan was still at the side, she explained to her with an awkward smile: "Don't listen to him slandering me."

"This kid Chao Chao just needs to be cleaned up," Chen Ziwan enthusiastically pulled her to sit down at the table, "It doesn't matter if you eat too much, I'll show you how skinny you are."

Shen Qing took a close look at the dishes on a table, they were much more attractive than those in the pictures, and subconsciously swallowed, "Are these all made by Xie Mingchao?"

Chen Ziwan raised the corners of her mouth proudly, "That's right, that's why I took his mobile phone and sent a post on Moments to show off."

"Do you use the same copywriting in your circle of friends?"

"Ah, I don't have my own WeChat." Chen Ziwan lowered her eyes as if thinking of something sad, "Because of some things, I have already logged out."

Thinking of the days when she was hiding in Tibet, Shen Qing understood something, and pursed her lips apologetically: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked more."

"It's okay, Chaochao has two mobile phone numbers, and I use his." Chen Ziwan was very optimistic, waving her hand nonchalantly, "There are only a few in my contacts, so it's meaningless to send them."

As she spoke, she took a sneak peek in the direction of the kitchen, and lowered her voice: "Actually, Chao Chao doesn't have many friends, so I sent it to you on purpose. Although looking at my son's phone is an invasion of privacy, I found out..."
