Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

When going to Xu Qingsong's grandpa's house, it is natural to buy some things to bring with you. Liu Wangxue still chose gifts according to Xu Qingsong's suggestions. Since they had enough time, the two of them went shopping slowly.

After shopping until about 3pm, he already had several bags in his hands. When he came out of a store, Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat something first.

Liu Wangxue said, "A little, but just eat something to fill your stomach." After all, it wasn't long before dinner time, so it was best not to eat too much.

The two of them decided to find a coffee shop to sit in and take a break.

As they walked hand in hand toward the escalator, Liu Wangxue suddenly saw a figure not far ahead, who looked 70% similar to Xu Qingsong. She raised her hand and pointed at Xu Qingsong: "Look, the person in front looks like you."

Xu Qingsong's eyes were attracted by a down jacket in the window next to him. Thinking about what Grandma Xu said last night, he wanted to pull Liu Wangxue over to take a look. Hearing her say that, he curiously looked in the direction of her finger, but didn't see the so-called look-alike: "Which one?"

Liu Wangxue felt a little regretful: "The right turn disappeared."

Xu Qingsong didn't take it to heart. There were similar people in the world, so there was nothing to be surprised about. He turned and motioned Liu Wangxue to look at the window next to him: "What do you think of this one? It looks quite thick. Come in and try it on?"

"Do you really want to buy it?" Liu Wangxue didn't want to try it, nor did she want it. "Forget it. Spring is coming. Even if I buy it, I'll only wear it for two days. It's not worth it."

Xu Qingsong insisted on pulling her in: "The weather forecast says that the temperature will drop tomorrow and it will snow. Your coat is not warm enough. You should buy a thicker one and wear it warmly. Otherwise, what if you get sick from the cold? I will be so sad..."

Liu Wangxue was defeated by his nagging and tried two or three pieces obediently. In the end, Xu Qingsong bought her the one that he liked at first sight in the window.

Carrying out a big bag of down jackets, Liu Wangxue held Xu Qingsong's arm and continued to walk forward. Seeing the sign for the bathroom, Xu Qingsong said he wanted to go for a while, and asked Liu Wangxue if she wanted to go. If she wanted to go, he would wait for her in the corridor.

Liu Wangxue took all the bags from his hands: "I'm not going, you go, I'll wait for you here."

Xu Qingsong touched her face, then bent down and kissed her, saying in a sticky tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Wangxue smiled and pushed him, whispering, "Is it necessary to go to the bathroom?"

Xu Qingsong helped her straighten the slightly crooked collar of her coat and said softly, "It's necessary. I just can't bear to leave you for even a moment now."

Liu Wangxue said: "I have to remind you that holding it in for too long is bad for your health."

Xu Qingsong flicked the little pearl on her ear as if he was asking for trouble, and said with a wicked smile: "How can you not know whether I am in good health or not?"

"That's enough, in public." Liu Wangxue smiled and gently pushed him, "Go quickly."

Xu Qingsong then turned and walked towards the corridor. Liu Wangxue leaned on the railing of the corridor, looked at his back and smiled. She felt that the emotional connection between her and Xu Qingsong had indeed become closer.

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong have been very close since they confirmed their relationship, but this kind of intimacy during the honeymoon period has risen several degrees after last night, and they can both feel it.

When Xu Qingsong left home, he said that if he didn't have to take Liu Wangxue to his grandfather's house for dinner in the evening, he really wanted to stay at home all day and just hug her.

Liu Wangxue agreed deeply and spoke frankly: "What a coincidence, I thought so too." But she was not thinking about how to be affectionate with him, but wanted to nestle in his arms on the balcony to bask in the sun and whisper.

Xu Qingsong's mind was not as pure as hers, so as soon as she said this, he almost pulled her back to the bedroom.

After Xu Qingsong's back disappeared, Liu Wangxue's gaze fell on the jewelry store in front of her. A mother was pushing a stroller out of the store, and the baby in the stroller happened to meet Liu Wangxue's face.

The baby was shaking a small rattle in his hand. His big eyes and chubby face suddenly broke into an incredibly adorable smile when he looked at Liu Wangxue, revealing two newly emerged small teeth.

Liu Wangxue's heart was struck at once, and she was almost overwhelmed by the cuteness. She raised her hand and waved to the baby, smiling and saying hello: "Hello~"

The baby laughed even more happily, and a giggle sound came out.

Seeing this, the mother also gave Liu Wangxue a friendly smile. They both nodded, and she pushed the stroller and turned left.

Liu Wangxue glanced twice in the direction where the stroller left. At this time, the background music in the store changed. When the light and slightly sad prelude sounded, Liu Wangxue recognized it as the song that Lou Rui recommended to her a while ago. He said it was composed by a singer he had met on a music variety show before.

The prelude ended quickly, and a male voice with a strong sense of story began to sing: "If it weren't for an old song that brought up the past, I think I would have long forgotten the unforgettable memory of you①..."

Liu Wangxue was listening to the song and thought of Ni Jia——

When "Moon Over Spring Stream" was first aired, Ni Jia joined a new crew and played a supporting role in a criminal investigation drama. Although it was a supporting role, the character was very important and had a certain emotional entanglement with the male lead.

However, probably because Ni Jia had never been in a relationship, she always failed to meet the director's requirements when filming began. The director was the kind of person who pursued perfection and did not want this emotional experience that carried the turning point of the male protagonist's life to become a failure in the play under her interpretation, so he kept scolding her for NGs.

Ni Jia was not afraid of this at all. She had experienced Jing Yujun scolding her so harshly before, and her psychological endurance had been fully trained. She was just worried about how to strike the right balance in emotional expression as required by the director, so she called Liu Wangxue to complain and seek advice.

Liu Wangxue couldn't see the script, so she could only help her analyze the plot through Ni Jia's plot summary. As she was talking, she suddenly realized that this song was very appropriate for the occasion, so she pushed it to her and asked her to listen to it and see if she could get the feeling.

After listening to this, Ni Jia called again, crying loudly: "Sister Xuxu, I understand... wuwuwu..."

Liu Wangxue laughed so hard: "You've never been in love before, so why is it so unforgettable?"

Ni Jia continued to whine: "Then can't I have a little empathy? After all, this is also a basic quality of an actor..."

Liu Wangxue found it funny when she thought about this.

The song reaches its climax: "Later he made me understand that I was also worthy of being cherished..."

The melody was very catchy. Liu Wangxue had been able to sing along after playing the song a few times on repeat, and now she couldn't help but hum along.

She was also quite touched when she listened to this song, and felt that the lyrics were very much like her severance from the past. However, love songs can become popular only if they can touch people's hearts. To be able to touch people's hearts, there must be a high probability that the public can identify with them.

Liu Wangxue thought so and once again put herself in the shoes of the person. Just like what she said when she confessed her inner feelings to Xu Qingsong that night in Zhouzhuang, every step Xu Qingsong took on his own initiative brought her another possibility of happiness, and she cherished it very much, because now they both had "each other's only one" in their lives - this certainty was also brought to her by Xu Qingsong.

Liu Wangxue hummed along with the melody, turned around and looked at the entrance of the passage, wondering why Xu Qingsong hadn't come back yet. She really wanted to hug him at this moment.

Turning her head, Liu Wangxue noticed the girl standing at the door of the shop across from her. It seemed that the girl had been standing here when she and Xu Qingsong came here, but she didn't pay much attention to her. The reason she noticed it now was because the girl was standing with her back against the wall, lowering her head slightly, crying.

She cried silently, but Liu Wangxue could see it clearly. Her tears were flowing violently. Many short videos flashed through Liu Wangxue's mind, all with titles like "Workers' collapse in an instant." She quickly put the shopping bags on her wrists, rummaged through her small bag, took out a pack of tissues, walked over quickly, took out a piece, and handed it directly to the girl, carefully asking, "Do you want to wipe it?"

The girl raised her head, blinked her tear-filled eyes, took the tissue to wipe the wet marks on her face, and tried to give Liu Wangxue a smile: "Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. It's not a problem." Seeing that the one she took got wet quickly, Liu Wangxue handed the remaining one to her, "Here's more."

Liu Wangxue didn't have the heart to ask her why she was crying. As they met by chance, it would be better not to ask. Perhaps it would be enough to hand her a pack of tissues and stand with her for a while.

The girl took it again, pulled out a card, returned the rest to Liu Wangxue, and smiled at her again: "Thank you."

"Xuxu."

Before Liu Wangxue could say "you're welcome" she heard Xu Qingsong's voice. She raised her head and walked over immediately.

Xu Qingsong took two steps forward and reached out to take the shopping bags off Liu Wangxue's wrist. One of the bags was heavier and the rope was thin, so after a while, it left a red mark on her wrist. Seeing this, Xu Qingsong held it in his hand and touched it with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Liu Wangxue shook her head and wanted to pull her hand away to hold his arm.

Xu Qingsong didn't let her go. He rubbed her wrist and asked, "What happened?"

As soon as he came back, he saw Liu Wangxue standing next to a girl wiping her tears. He was nervous for a moment, thinking that there might be some conflict, but then he thought it was impossible, so he shouted first.

"I just saw her crying, so I handed her a tissue..." Liu Wangxue explained. When he turned around, he found that the girl was looking at him, but she was looking at Xu Qingsong. Her eyes, blurred by tears, contained complex emotions, as if they were meeting again after a long separation.

However, Xu Qingsong's attention was not here at all, he was still lowering his head to rub her red wrist. Liu Wangxue then pulled her hand out with a little force, motioning him to look at the other side.

The girl opposite had already wiped away her tears. The makeup on her face must have been waterproof. She had cried so hard just now, but it didn't look smudged at all. It was obvious that she still tried to smile, raised her arm and waved at Xu Qingsong, trying to be nonchalant: "Long time no see."

Liu Wangxue raised his eyes to observe Xu Qingsong's expression. He saw that he was confused at first, and then seemed to remember who was opposite him, and was a little bit unbelievable.

Xu Qingsong tentatively asked the girl opposite him: "Ye Yan?"

Ye Yan chuckled and another tear fell uncontrollably from the corner of her eye.

At the same time, Liu Wangxue's gaze also shifted to the girl named Ye Yan. He saw that the complicated expression on her face after a long separation had faded away, and seemed to have turned into a kind of "letting go" and "relief".

Ye Yan said openly: "Do you remember who I am? You just walked past me without any reaction. I thought you had lost your memory."

Xu Qingsong still found it hard to believe. He subconsciously hugged Liu Wangxue and said, "No, you've changed so much..."

Ye Yan's gaze lingered for a moment on Xu Qingsong's hand around Liu Wangxue's waist, and she reminded him, "Would you like to introduce me?"

Xu Qingsong's expression finally returned to normal. He took Liu Wangxue's arm and moved her towards him. He introduced her to the other side, "This is my girlfriend, Liu Wangxue." Then he looked down at Liu Wangxue and said, "Her name is Ye Yan, she is..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Yan took the initiative to step forward, smiled and stretched out her hand to Liu Wangxue, and interrupted, "I'm his ex-girlfriend."

Liu Wangxue reached out and shook her hand: "Hello."

In this situation, Liu Wangxue didn't want to analyze the motives behind interrupting others, but she did see let go and relief on Ye Yan's face just now. However, the aggression emanating from her still made her feel more or less uncomfortable.

In this case, Liu Wangxue raised her head and asked Xu Qingsong: "The first or the second one?"

There was a brief look of surprise on Ye Yan's face. She probably didn't expect someone to ask such a direct question, and in front of her ex.

Xu Qingsong had long been accustomed to Liu Wangxue's straight shots. Just as he was about to answer, Ye Yan took the lead.

Ye Yan said, "The second one." Then she stared at Liu Wangxue, observing her expression carefully.

Liu Wangxue received Ye Yan's gaze and felt that she wanted to see something from her face. She thought, could it be that she wanted to find out how many times the man next to her had been with her by observing her? Then she felt that her idea was very absurd and ridiculous, and she felt annoyed. She then thought, I really shouldn't have handed over the tissue just now, no, she shouldn't have stood here waiting for Xu Qingsong, she should have walked a few steps forward.

The thoughts in Liu Wangxue's mind flashed through her mind as quickly as a barrage of complaints. She looked up at Xu Qingsong and saw that he was also frowning slightly, so she stretched out her finger and poked him under the cover of her clothes.

Xu Qingsong understood, and Ye Yan's behavior also made him feel uncomfortable. In his opinion, the ex was a thing of the past, and they broke up peacefully, so there was nothing to be sad about. Now that they met by chance, it was enough to say hello out of courtesy, because there was really nothing to talk about. What's more, he had a girlfriend now, so it was inappropriate to talk about anything, whether in front of Liu Wangxue or not.

Xu Qingsong said, "Xuxu and I have something else to do, so we..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and he felt a little annoyed - how rude! Three times the limit!
But this time it was not Ye Yan, but a man holding two cups of milk tea. He passed by Xu Qingsong, called "Yan Yan" to Ye Yan, and handed one of the cups to her: "Hot, half sugar, be careful of the heat."

Ye Yan took it and said "thank you".

After handing over the milk tea, the man turned slightly, apparently preparing to greet Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong. However, when he saw Xu Qingsong's face clearly, the smile on his face faded, and he looked cold and indifferent, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Liu Wangxue looked up at Xu Qingsong, not understanding what was going on.

Xu Qingsong lowered his head slightly and looked at her, even more confused.

Ye Yan held the milk tea to warm her hands, as if she didn't notice the eye contact in the air. She started by introducing the man next to her: "Xu Qingsong, I told you that the girl next to him is his girlfriend." Then she said to Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue: "This is my boyfriend, his last name is Shi, Shi Wenjun."

When Ye Yan said this, Liu Wangxue noticed the flash of surprise and joy on Shi Wenjun's face.

Shi Wenjun took the lead and extended his hand to Xu Qingsong: "Hello."

Xu Qingsong shook his hand back and said "hello".

I thought it was over here. Xu Qingsong was about to take Liu Wangxue to say goodbye, but he heard Ye Yan say to Liu Wangxue: "Xu Qingsong and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Meeting is fate. If you two don't have anything urgent, let's find a place to sit together?"

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were about to refuse, but Shi Wenjun actually spoke up and invited them to sit together: "I remember there is a very good cafe downstairs. The desserts there are very good. I think the ladies will like it."

He mentioned the name of the coffee shop, which was exactly the one Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were planning to go to. The two looked at each other and decided to go and see what was going on. (End of this chapter)
