hard to let go

Chapter 38

Gao Xixi hung up the phone and went back to Leng Xi depressed.Seeing her unhappy expression, Leng Xi asked, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

Chen Shaochen said cheerfully, "We bet she lost, haha, Xixi is upset."

Gao Xixi glanced at him lightly, then turned her head and said to Leng Xi, "Mom, I'm tired from playing and want to go home."

Chen Xi touched her head, "Didn't you just want to see the giant pandas? Why are you going back now?"

"That's right, I haven't seen the giant panda yet." Chen Shaochen said with some disappointment.

"No. I want to go home. Mom—"

Leng Xi looked at Chen Xi, "That's how it is, let's come out to play next time."

Chen Xi nodded, "Okay. Then I'll take you back."

"No, let's go back by car."

Lengxi and Gao Xixi got on the bus.After a while, Leng Xi's phone beeped. She picked it up and saw who it was.He has not contacted her for several days.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Is Xixi by your side?" Gao Ziqun asked in a deep voice. "Don't let her know I'm calling."

Leng Xi was slightly taken aback, and she responded softly.

"Listen, Xixi just called me. She's not in a good mood. You look at her more, she's thinking a lot."

Leng Xi's heart tightened, and he couldn't tell what it was like.She felt a little ironic that her daughter was still taught by him, "Okay, thank you." She replied lightly.

A phone call was lukewarm, Gao Ziqun hung up the phone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.It happened that old man Gao walked up to him, "Can I hear you sigh that the sun is really going to rise from the west?" The old man sat opposite him, looking at the chessboard in front of him.He squinted, "Next game."

Gao Ziqun was silent for a moment, picked up the white piece in front of him and dropped it.After a while, the situation has opened up.

"You didn't play like this before." The old man looked at the chessboard thoughtfully and said.

Gao Ziqun remained silent.

"In the past, you were always reckless about the consequences. Now—" he glanced at him, "you will keep a hand."

Gao Ziqun's mouth twitched vaguely.

"How is Xixi over there?" The old man asked in a deep voice.

"Not bad." Gao Ziqun said calmly.

"Bring her mother here later." The old man suddenly changed the topic.

Gao Ziqun raised his eyes and glanced at his father, "She won't come."

"Oh——" the old man glared at him, "If you showed the courage you used to have, you wouldn't be in this situation. Since you like other girls, why can't you have a good relationship with her? What are you struggling with?" .And the matter between you and Wen Shu, what is it called? You have been fooling us for so many years?" The old man's voice was like a bell.Since Gao Ziqun told him the whole story last time, it was the first time that the father and son spoke face to face.

Gao Ziqun looked at the old man, exhaled, and raised his eyebrows, "Dad, this is my attention, and it has nothing to do with Wen Shu."

"You are still protecting her. Ziqun, do you think I don't know?" He sighed heavily, "I watched you grow up, do you think I don't know your feelings for Wenshu? "

"Dad—" Gao Ziqun frowned deeply.

"I don't want to say anything more. Either you bring Xixi's mother back, or make a mistake with Wen Shu." Master Gao lost these words and got up and left.

Gao Ziqun was left alone to sit there and meditate.

The next day, Gao Ziqun and Chen Zhanbei met at a party. It was strange to say that the two were two completely opposite types of people. No matter in terms of age or personality, they did not seem to be able to become friends. people.But the relationship between the two is very good.However, the outside world has never known the reason for this.

Gao Ziqun watched Chen Zhanbei attend with his wife and children, and Chenxi stood beside him and greeted him gently and appropriately.He couldn't help moving the corners of his mouth. The thorny Xu Chenxi at the beginning was now like a lot of lilies.

Gao Ziqun picked up his wine glass, looked at the swaying wine, and took a sip.

Not long after, a crisp voice suddenly came from beside him, "Uncle Gao——"

Gao Ziqun turned his head and saw Chen Shaochen walking to his feet.The little guy is wearing a black suit with a red bow today, looking very handsome.

"Shao Chen, well, he's quite handsome today." He leaned slightly.

Chen Shaochen grinned, actually he didn't want to wear a tie, her mother insisted that he was so handsome.Sometimes he couldn't stand his mother, ordered a set of Conan's clothes for him, and let him pass them to school when he was in kindergarten, Chen Shaochen felt so ashamed now thinking about it.

"Uncle Gao, I told Xixi that I will meet you tonight. She asked me to tell you that Aunt Leng is going to find her a new father this Saturday." Chen Shaochen conveyed word by word.

Gao Ziqun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh—" His voice rose slightly, "Then do your parents know about this?"

Chen Zhanbei and Xu Chenxi have both walked over, "Shao Chen, what are you talking about with Uncle Gao?"

Chen Shaochen twitched his lips, "Uncle Gao praised me for being handsome."

Chen Zhanbei hooked the corners of his mouth, and Chen Xi took his son's hand, "Go with mom to get something to eat."

Now Chen Zhanbei and Gao Ziqun are left.Chen Zhanbei said, "You are so calm now, it really doesn't look like you."

Gao Ziqun didn't say no.

"Let's think about it, why did you agree to send Xixi to Lengxi, Chuhang?" Chen Zhanbei raised his eyebrows.

Gao Ziqun narrowed his eyes, "She's hiding in her shell now, no matter what I do, she won't accept me, it's better to send Xixi to her side than to be so stiff, you know that girl Xixi has always wanted me to be with Leng If Xi can be together, she will naturally not want to see Leng Xi find him a new father."

"You?" Chen Zhanbei said meaningfully, "You really have a good hand." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I told you not to go too far, that girl Leng Xi is just like Chen Xi, who is soft and not hard. If you talk to her carefully, I don't believe that you can't cover the heat with your level."

Gao Ziqun twitched his lips, raised his cup, and drank it down.

On the other hand, on Chu's mother's birthday, Chu Hang brought Leng Xi back to Chu's house.

Leng Xi brought her gift, the cashmere scarf she picked out at the mall.Many people came to the Chu family today, and when Chu Hang showed up with her, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Leng Xi only felt a thorn in his back.

She walked to Chu's mother and presented the gift, "Auntie, happy birthday."

Chu's mother is 59 years old this year. Because of the good maintenance, she looks much younger.Mother Chu smiled faintly at her, "Leng Xi is here."

Leng Xi met her gaze, and licked the corners of his mouth politely.

Mother Chu looked back, "Chuhang, go and see why your father hasn't come back after a long time? Everyone is waiting for him."

Chu Hang nodded, "Okay."

After Chu Hang left, Chu's mother and Leng Xi were silent for a while, when a middle-aged woman came over, "Hey, Mr. Li, Xiao Hang finally brought his girlfriend back. This girl is so handsome, no wonder I gave her a hand. Your Xiaohang introduces a partner, but he has always refused, hey, your son has high vision."

Mother Chu smiled, "What are you talking about? This is Xiaohang's college junior. Xiaohang is still single now."

Leng Xi stood there firmly, her back was stiff and unnatural, she took a deep breath, "Auntie, let's talk."

Mother Chu nodded with a slight smile, something flashed in her eyes, she looked at Leng Xi's back thoughtfully.

"Mr. Li, you won't lie to me, will you not like Xiaohang, such a beautiful girl?" The woman's face was full of disbelief.

Chu's mother shook her head, "They have known each other for many years, besides, his classmate is the mother of a child. How can it be possible for my Xiaohang and her?"

"It's a pity, she and your son are really a perfect couple standing together."

Mother Chu didn't say no.

Leng Xi sat quietly in the corner, and people shuttled by from time to time.The heating in the hotel was fully turned on, and Leng Xi felt a little overwhelmed.She took a deep breath.

At this time Chu Hang and his father had already returned.

Chu Hang’s father is a university teacher. Chu’s father has been engaged in the study of Dunhuang murals. He has been stationed in Dunhuang to study murals since he was in his 20s, and has made great contributions to the history of Dunhuang murals research.

Leng Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them. In fact, Chu Hang's appearance was more like his mother's, and his temperament was probably like his father's.Father Chu always has a Confucian air, gentle and elegant.

The mobile phone in the bag vibrated suddenly, and she quickly took it out to see that it was the phone at home.

"Xixi, what's the matter?"

Gao Xixi said happily, "Mom, when are you coming back?"

Leng Xi looked at the current situation, "Mom strives to come back soon. What are you doing now? Where is mother-in-law?"

Gao Xixi paused, she bit the corner of her lips, "Grandma is watching TV, I just finished my homework."

Leng Xi curled his mouth, "Okay, mom will be back in a while, and bring you egg tarts and grapefruit tea."

"Yes." Gao Xixi nodded, "Mom, be careful on the road."

Chu Hang walked to her side and saw that she was hanging up the phone, his brows and eyes were full of gentleness, warmer than the light in the hall, "Is it Xixi?"

"Yeah, when will I go back?"

"You should have brought her here, my parents like children very much. Xixi is so cute, they must like it very much."

Leng Xi looked at him and exhaled, but she didn't say anything, actually it depends on the person. "I'll go back first, tell my uncle and aunt for me."

Chu Hang was slightly taken aback, "So fast?"

Leng Xi smiled, looked at Chu Hang, frowned slightly, and then disappeared in a flash, "Xixi is a little emotional."

"I'll see you off." Chu Hang said.

"No need, you go to accompany your uncle and aunt." Chu's mother looked at them from time to time. If Chu Hang didn't go back, she estimated that Chu's mother would not be able to sit still.

Leng Xi walked out of the hotel gate, a gust of cold wind whizzed in, gushing into her clothes from the collar, she shivered from the cold, and her eyelids twitched a few times.

When she got home, she called out a few times, "Xixi—Xixi—" No one answered, and the egg tart drink in her hand fell straight to the ground in an instant.
