Chapter 16
Situ Xu Xu rushed as fast as she could to the tea house she had arranged on the phone, she stood at the door for a while before entering, straightened her hair and collar, and adjusted her breathing before pushing the door in.
Mother Xu had already arrived, sitting at the table under the carved mahogany window, gazing at the tea. Situ Xu took off his jacket and hung it up, walked over and sat down opposite her, “Sorry, I’m late.”
Mother Xu smiled gently and told her it was fine. The look on Mother Xu’s face when she smiled was very similar to Xu Cheng Snapdragon – it was the same Xu Cheng Snapdragon that she had found unfamiliar on the night of Situ Xu Xu’s first official date with him.
Xu mother’s coat was hanging aside when she hung up her coat just now, Situ Xu Xu glanced at the brand and remembered that last year on her mother’s birthday she had spent two months of her income on a scarf of this brand as a birthday gift, Xu Sa said after reading the price on the invoice, “Daughter, you’ve heard of the story of exchanging your bed linen and furniture and even the entire house decoration for an expensive nightgown, haven’t you? Luxury is a bottomless pit of human desires, and if you buy me such a nice scarf, I might end up replacing all your dads.”
At that time, Situ Ming’s expression was horrified and the mother and daughter laughed into a ball.
At that time, there was no Xu Chengchu yet, and Situ Xu Xu thought she was good enough.
The definition of luxury goods is “a kind of consumer goods that exceeds the scope of people’s needs for survival and development, and has the characteristics of uniqueness, scarcity, and preciousness”, also known as non-necessities of life.
The scarf that is worth two months of Situ Xu Xu’s income is a luxury item for the Situ family, and Xu Cheng Snap–that perfect and complete Xu Cheng Snap with a prominent family background and an immeasurable future–is a luxury item for Situ Xu Xu, exceeding the scope of her original life needs, so unique and rare that she can’t afford it, and making her realize that she is not good enough and can’t match him. She realized that she was not good enough to be his match.
She’s not good enough, she shouldn’t ask for the perfect man of her dreams. Dreams come true are too extravagant.
With only a light and warm cashmere coat, Mother Xu made Situ Xu Xu’s newly warmed up heart cool down again, cold, cold.
“Sit.” Mother Xu was polite, “Seung Snap said not to let me address you as ‘Miss Situ’ ‘Miss Situ’, it’s too outgoing, what does your family call you? Xu Xu?”
Situ Xu Xu smiled faintly and acquiesced, subconsciously not wanting to tell that humiliating and affectionate nickname to the magnificent lady in front of her, her boyfriend’s mother.
“Xu Xu, asking you out today at such an impromptu time has given you a bit of a shock, hasn’t it?”
“A little bit.” Situ Xu Xu received the tea she dispensed with both hands and smiled.
“It’s my family Cheng Snap, he asked me to bring you a message,” Mother Xu carefully observed, from the time she entered the door, the young girl who looked at ease, hearing the news of her son suddenly changed her
look, her smile is sincere more affectionate a few points, “their place is remote, a training time is even more barren, not convenient to call outside, Cheng prima dad yesterday is also a coincidence and he got on the phone, Cheng prima let him pass on some words to you, his father came back to trust me, I think you two first time apart, heart anxious, so temporary asked you out.”
“Cheng prima said he promised to call you, sorry, he broke his word, and he said he would come back this year to celebrate the New Year.” Xu’s mother added tea to Situ Xu, her tone had a few moments of emotion: “His father came back and said to me: son thirty years old, right? It’s the first time I’ve heard him speak in this tone.”
Xu mother spoke in a tone of voice without haste, the voice is low and slow, like a gentle wind, Situ Xu Xu Xu heart can not say what is the taste, lowered his head in silence, Xu mother waited for a while, softly called her: “Xu Xu Xu?”
“Oh, Auntie,” Situ Xu Xu raised her head, swept her hanging hair, “I don’t matter, it’s okay.”
Doubts flickered in Mother Xu’s eyes, she stopped speaking and looked at her quietly, Situ Xu Xu whispered in her considering gaze, “If you get in touch with him next time, you tell him: I’m fine.”
Mother Xu went home and said to Xu Chengchu’s father, Xu Pingshan, “Old Xu, I think that girlfriend of Chengchu’s is a bit strong in character, and I’m afraid the two are not suitable.”
Xu Ping Shan looked up from his papers, “What’s wrong?”
“That girl’s looks and demeanor are very good, she also talks in and out properly, educated, thoughtful, and from her demeanor you can see that she’s a person with her own ideas.”
“Isn’t that good, aren’t all the lesbians in our family like this?” Xu Ping Shan joked with his wife.
Xu mother, however, did not have the heart to joke, sighed, and said, “But I looked at her today …… she was not as eager as she was to Seung Snap, as Seung Snap was to her.”
“What’s wrong with that!” Xu Ping Shan felt that she was making a big deal out of it, “The matter between the two of them, we are outsiders, don’t intervene, just bring the word to Cheng primrose.”
Mother Xu still felt uneasy, trying to find a way to roll over several channels to have a short phone call with her son. Xu Cheng Snapdragon was confused when he heard Situ Xu Xu’s attitude – the person who hugged him before he left and clearly promised to wait for him with her words, just because she didn’t communicate for more than a month, she backed out?
He was annoyed at her fickleness, and worried: with his understanding of Situ, this girl can really break it off when she’s heartbroken.
Moreover, at the beginning of the time she is actually not very willing, if not for their own offensive, step by step, which can be taken so quickly?
Even if it is that short happy sweet together, she has not been how eager to himself.
Jing Ze crossed his feet lazy in the chair, cold eyes to watch the prima master wonderful incomparable face performance, suddenly the door pushed to break in Fu Donghai, Jing Ze heart is not good, but Fu Donghai will not look at the face of it, do not know the rushed Xu Cheng prima coldly reproach: “Why A12 firepower configuration and command post location is not in accordance with the white paper written on the layout? Who gave you the authority to alter my training program? Do you understand or not-”
When Xu Cheng Snapdragon was upset, he didn’t care if he was General Fu’s favorite grandson, grabbed him by the collar and threw him out like a bowling ball with his face facing out.
The man landed with a muffled thud, and the Zhong Xiaohangs waiting outside the door to watch the show burst into cheers.
Jingze stood up as early as when Fu Donghai barged in, but it was already too late, Master Snapshot struck like electricity. Jing Ze looked at Major Fu lying on the ground unable to move in a lousy way, closed his eyes, waved his hand to Zhong Xiaohang, a few eyebrows and smiles of the guys gathered around and carried Instructor Fu down with seven hands and eight feet.
Jing Ze closed the door, took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xu Cheng Snap, saying in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, “Can you lighten your hand?”
“Jing Ze, if you don’t get him out of here, I’ll kill him.” Xu Cheng Snap said with a cold face, he had had enough of Fu Dong Hai’s arrogant retardation, one more day of patience would really kill someone.
Jing Ze evilly hooked up one side of his mouth and said in a good mood, “This job is still left to me.”
Xu Chengchu grumpily scratched his hair and suddenly said, “I’ll go to next month’s recruitment! Send the people back when you’re done, and I’ll leave the rest to you!”
There were still two weeks to go before this quarter’s training came to an end, and then it was time for the annual selection of new recruits. Recruiting to the next company was the most troublesome thing for a few of them-who had a sharp kid that they didn’t want to keep in their hands? From the hands of a few dime a dozen guys to dig people’s top soldiers, and robbery, what’s the difference?
Originally, this kind of work under the military chief to walk under the favor, sell face Xu Cheng Snap’s identity is the most suitable, but the primrose master he is the most annoyed with these things, these years are Jing Ze out of the horse, rare Xu Cheng Snap this time took the initiative to ask for help, Jing Ze couldn’t help but applaud that one: “I really want to see this Situ girl!” Pushing Master Snap into this, too capable!
Xu Cheng Snapdragon’s gloomy face did not say anything, Jingze threw the car keys in his hand, and teased, “The sun has not yet gone down, back to the base is only more than four hours, why don’t you go back and make a phone call to relieve the longing for each other?”
This idea Xu Cheng Snapdragon had already turned in his head hundreds of times, but his more than ten years of military literacy would never allow it. He turned his head to look at him coldly, suddenly kicked the chair under him, one of the legs of the chair broke with a sound, Jing Ze reacted surprisingly fast, leapt up, but his face just met the string of car keys, hitting Lieutenant Colonel Jing’s upright nose.
Jing Ze did not say a word, but covered his nose and crouched down.
Without saying a word, he covered his nose and squatted down ……
When Xu Cheng Snapdragon returned to G City, it was already winter, coinciding with the first snowfall of this winter, the city’s neon silver, and it was very confusing.
Jingze is less than Xu Chengchu back, coupled with the rain and snow vision is not good, several times to drive the wrong way. Mental quality is harder than a tortoise shell, Lieutenant Colonel Jing whistled with a relaxed expression, Xu Chengchu stormed out, “You’re fucking intentional, right?!”
Jing Ze slanted him a glance, “Why don’t you drive yourself?”
Xu Cheng Snap’s left hand, whose plaster hadn’t been removed, moved, almost wanting to swing over and hit him directly on the head. The car stopped at a red light, he pulled the seatbelt and pushed the car door, Jingze asked him where he was going. He turned around and yelled, “Take a cab!”
Look at the prima donna fell a shoulder of snow to stop a car, low body for him, and because of the hand with a plaster cast, drilling into the posture of the woeful, and that day on the ground Fu Donghai almost.
Jing Ze in the warm car cozy and comfortable waiting for the red light over, touching his chin thinking about him and Xu Cheng Snapdragon are gone, I do not know what kind of home now?
It’s fun to think about the little kids being in charge and all that!
Seo Seung Snap touched his left hand when he stuffed himself into the car, and a pain shot through the injured area. Getting out of the car carefully protected, but did not prevent the phone left in the cab, Situ home knocking on the door no one to answer, he stood at the door for a while, snowy evening dark, he stood in the darkness suffocating panic, simply ran downstairs and stood at the entrance of the building and so on, thinking that she came back to be able to see the first time.
Have been waiting until the day completely dark, street lights once lit, a frosted black Land Rover V8 slowly drive in, parked on the curb opposite the entrance to the building, Xu Chengchu also has one of these, so more than a glance, and saw the car lit up lights, the passenger seat is clearly he misses day and night of the people, smiling like a flower, is a side of the release of the seatbelt while the back row of the Stuart Ming knee a little girl said something, Xu Chengchu far away from the look! Separated from the people of the last few months, sitting in the passenger seat next to others, instant heart no clear anger or hate, just the heart gripped breathing is difficult, he screened his breath, will slowly move his eyes to drive the person, the man to the back row of the side of the face, can not see the face, resting on the steering wheel of the right hand pulled up a section of the sleeve, you can clearly see the muscles, not exaggerated but absolutely powerful, a glance is a body hand is not weak I’ve never seen a man like him before in thirty years of my life.
After thirty years of living has never had the feeling of failure, Xu Chengchu, in this late winter snowy night, holding a vaguely painful plaster hand standing in the snow under the street lamp, looking at the warm and harmonious scene in that compartment of the car, the first time I tasted the taste of loss.
