the stars fell on his head

Chapter 72 Xi Xiu, I want to stay with your mother

You stole my shadow, no matter where you are, I will always think of you.

This is a sentence written by the young Xi Xiu in his diary.

At first he thought that Shi Zhijiu filled his youth, but he didn't realize until later that she had already occupied his life.

Saturday happens to be the winter solstice.

Winter is coming, but the sunshine outside the window is not cold.

It wasn't until Shi Zhijiu stepped out of the bedroom and the wind from the balcony blew in through the collar of her pajamas that she didn't know how terrible winter was.

The bright sun shines down, but there is no temperature at all. It is really a sad day.

Shi Zhijiu thought about it and got into bed again.

After a while, I fell asleep again.

If grandma didn't knock on the door to wake her up, she probably wouldn't wake up until noon.

Grandma threw off her quilt, and the cold air rushed up from the soles of her feet, "You can get up now."

"Well... Grandma is freezing to death!" She struggled not to get up while pulling back the quilt.

"Aren't you scheduled for Saturday?"

Shi Zhijiu jumped up from the bed, "Is it Saturday today??? Saturday???"

Grandma shook her head helplessly, "I'll go down and make you breakfast, and hurry down after washing up."

She grabbed the phone next to the bed, looked at the calendar in disbelief, it was really Saturday.He hurriedly called Xi Xiu and gave a guilty hello.

"I thought you ran away, and I didn't reply to your WeChat."

She explained, "I turned off the Internet, so I didn't see it."

"My mother has already gone to the supermarket to buy vegetables."

"What?? So fast??"

"It's already 09:30, and she planned to go out at 07:30, but I said you were still sleeping late, so she went out later."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Xi Xiu, how can you tell your mother that I'm sleeping late! Then my aunt will have a bad impression of me!"

oops! !It's annoying!
If she had known that she shouldn't have disconnected from the internet last night, otherwise she wouldn't have slept in the cage under the bombardment of information.

Right now, I can only get up in a hurry.

She tried on the clothes in the closet one after another, but she was not satisfied.

Send a voice message to Xi Xiu, "What type of girl does your mother like?"

She picked up a red knitted dress again and stood in front of the full-length mirror for comparison, muttering that she was too mature.

The message came in with a ding, and she quickly clicked on Xi Xiu's voice to listen, "Your partner is me, not my mother."

"But it's your parents I want to see you today!"

"How to dress to look good?"

"Xi Xiu, I'm serious!"

He sent three voice messages in a series, and added several emoticons threatening him.

"Didn't I say so?"

Shi Zhijiu: "Have you said that? What have you said?"

"You look good in anything you wear, and you look even better without it." His magnetic and sexy voice reached Shi Zhijiu's ears. Although the words were rascally, they still made her numb for a while.

"Xi Xiu! Shut up!"

"Shouldn't you treat your boyfriend like this, Shi Zhijiu?" His last voice rose, Shi Zhijiu trembled three times in fright, and quickly turned off the phone.

Keep picking your clothes.

After Shi Zhijiu changed his clothes, he ran downstairs, and the stairs made a muffled sound.

The old man happened to be drinking tea downstairs, and when he heard it, he told him, "Run slowly, and no one will grab breakfast with you."

"Morning, grandparents!"

Grandpa Shi: "It's already ten o'clock, it's getting late."

Grandma specially dragged out the stool for her, breakfast was already set on the table, and the eggs were peeled and placed on the dinner plate.

Shi Zhijiu didn't even have time to glance at what to eat this morning, so he ran to the door.

Grandma hurriedly called her to stop: "Where are you going with such an exquisite dress?"

After all, he was still a high school student. Shi Zhijiu couldn't figure out his parents' temperament, and didn't dare to put on makeup, so he put on a light lipstick, and replaced his usual cotton-padded jacket and down jacket with a coat. In order to avoid maturity, he tied it in two A braid hung in front of his chest, and he wore a beret.

Shi Zhijiu glanced at her grandfather with a guilty conscience, then ran to grandma's side, whispering in her ear that she was going to Xi Xiu's house for dinner.

Grandma Shi: "Follow me upstairs."

Shi Zhijiu: "Huh? Grandma, I should have gone earlier, right?"

"Go upstairs first."

She followed up one by one.

Grandma opened her safe and took out a jewelry box containing an emerald-colored bracelet.

"Will you give me the bracelet?"

"Well, stretch out your hand and put it on."

Although it is a bracelet, wearing it in the little girl's hand does not look old-fashioned, but it adds a little bit of a different temperament to her.

"Grandma, why are you wearing this for me?"

Grandma joked: "A take-off gift for you."

"Yo, the old lady is still so fashionable now?"

"Go quickly, don't let people wait, pay attention to politeness and manners."

In fact, grandma's exhortations are superfluous. Shi Zhijiu and others have seen a lot of people and things by themselves, and they have long understood how to treat people politely, how to talk nonsense when seeing people.

It's very cold outside, but Shi Zhijiu can't feel it today.

She walked towards Xi Xiu's house in a very nervous mood. This neighborhood that she was familiar with suddenly became unfamiliar. She was so nervous that she looked around. The frost on the lawn had almost melted. Shi Zhijiu really wanted to go and meet him Say hello, but I'm afraid that people will think she's stupid.

"What are you looking at? Then you don't know how to move forward when you're engrossed?"

Xi Xiu also wore a black coat today, and the two of them looked like couples from a distance.

He walked to Shi Zhijiu's side, took her hand and stuffed it into his pocket, "You look so good today."

Shi Zhijiu didn't take it seriously, "It seems that the male god Xi is not stingy in boasting about people."

"I only praise you."

"Really? Didn't you praise Xu Anran?" Shi Zhijiu deliberately looked at Xi Xiu with a provocative expression.

Xi Xiu didn't respond, and when he walked to the door, he said casually: "I will be different only when I treat you."

"Huh?" Shi Zhijiu thought she had misheard, and when she wanted to confirm it again, the door had already opened, and Mother Xi greeted her enthusiastically.

"Nineteen is here, come in quickly."

His mother even leaned over to give Shi Zhijiu slippers to change into. She met his mother once and knew that she and Xi Xiu had different personalities, but she didn't expect to feel so different.

"Hello, Auntie!" Shi Zhijiu showed a signature sweet smile.

"Hello, hello, let Xi Xiu take you to get acquainted first."

Mother Xi poured water for Shi Zhijiu for a while, and cut fruit for her for a while, making Shi Zhijiu feel helpless with enthusiasm.

Seeing his little girlfriend in his mother's hands, Xi Xiu found it very funny, feeling like a sheep in wolf's clothing was taken off guard.

"Mom, you will make her feel that this is a harbinger of a storm, and she likes to be cold-tempered."

Xi Mu glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you don't believe me, ask her."

Shi Zhijiu: "I...I..."

The door opened with a creak. Father Xi was dressed in a black suit, carrying a black LV briefcase in his hand, and his shiny leather shoes were taken off at the entrance.

Shi Zhijiu finally knew who Xi Xiu's ascetic aura resembled.

She quietly looked at Mr. Xi, and then at Xi Xiu, wondering if the little Mr. Xi next to him would be more temperamental than his father after entering the society.

Xi's mother went up to take Xi's father's bag, Xi's father smiled and gently put his arms around his wife's shoulders, still carrying it by himself.

Xi Xiu stood up from the sofa and called out respectfully, "Dad."

It can be seen that the relationship between Xi Xiu and his father should be one of mutual respect, so Shi Zhijiu also shouted, "Hello, Uncle."

Mother Xi felt the little girl's nervousness, so she had no choice but to go to the kitchen to prepare something, got up first, and called Shi Zhijiu by the way, "Can you cook?"

"Ah."

"Come to help Auntie?"

"it is good."

Shi Zhijiu entered the separate kitchen, leaned against the door and took a breath with relief, forgetting that Xi Xiu's mother was still inside.

"What, are you nervous?"

Shi Zhijiu nodded shyly, "Afraid of me?"

She shook her head honestly.

"Afraid of Uncle Xi?"

Shi Zhijiu was like a bad student who was caught by the teacher in class, pursed his lips and let out a "hmm!"

"Are you afraid of Xi Xiu?"

"Well... it seems that I have never been afraid."

"He has the same virtue as his father, so don't be afraid."

"……it is good."

Shi Zhijiu didn't expect Xi Xiu's mother to be so close, the two of them could chat without any barrier after washing the dishes together for a while.

"Tell auntie, how did the brat catch you?"

Emmmmm...

"Auntie, I actually teased him first."

Looking back now I feel a little embarrassed.

"Quick, quick, tell auntie."

Shi Zhijiu couldn't hold back his mother, so he had to explain it roughly.

"Actually, when I first flirted with him, I really rushed forward with the goal of not giving up until I caught him, but then I gave up."

"Auntie, if you think I'm inappropriate...I..."

The more she talked, the more flustered she became, her voice trembled, and every time she thought about their future, she would start to have countless worries.

Gu Xi said that she was just too insecure.

Mother Xi heard what kind of girl she was from Xi Xiu, and knew that she would inevitably feel awkward when meeting them for the first time, but she did not expect her to be so worried and frightened.

"Nineteen, in fact, the most important thing in love is how much you two love each other. The rest is support. If you both lose confidence, then other people's factors are nothingness."

She didn't know if the little girl could understand what she said.

After thinking for a while, she put down the vegetables in her hand, walked over and put her arms around her shoulders, "Look, Xi Xiu is handsome, and you are beautiful. The two of you together can be described as talented and beautiful. Auntie's family and your grandfather's family have very good conditions. Not bad, right, so no matter how you look at it, you are well matched. Besides, you two like each other so much, didn’t you agree that you will always be together? If this is the case, then move forward with pure love, don’t think Is that much okay?"

Shi Zhijiu didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing Xi's mother's words, she suddenly wanted to cry.

"why cry?"

"Auntie, but my parents are gone."

"They are saving people. You should be proud of it, and it shouldn't be a reason for you to feel inferior."

Tears fell on the bright floor tiles, "But my classmates used to say that children without parents are mentally twisted people."

"Who said, next time Auntie will help you clean him up!"

The child looked at Xi's mother with great distress, such a good girl should be taken to love her.

"Okay, okay, Auntie doesn't allow you to think about some things anymore. If you miss your mother in the future, come to Auntie's place, okay? No matter whether you and Xi Xiu can make it to the end, I will only recognize you."

A light flashed in Shi Zhijiu's eyes, "Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask Xi Xiu, Auntie never lies."

She finally made her laugh, and Xi's mother was also relieved.

"Auntie, the kitchen is a secret, okay?"

"it is good."

Xi Mu blinked, indicating that she knew.

"Come and stir the eggs, I know you like egg tarts, so today we will make egg tarts."

"Great!"

At the right time, Xi Xiu just pushed open the kitchen door, "Mom, have you already started calling people before they even pass through the house?"

The woman glanced at him indifferently, "Is it itchy?"

"Nineteen, come out with me."

Shi Zhijiu refused, "I don't, I want to stay with Auntie."

It's over... My baby was taken away. I don't know why, but my heart is aching.
