Chapter 379 Yu Xian on Valentine's Day (Part ) Since sweet sister can't come back, I will definitely spend this Valentine's Day with cos sister. Yu Xian didn't know that Director Chen had experienced some "twists and turns". From her perspective, this was simply a matter of course and no doubt about it. Yu Xian also carefully picked a small gift—— When Chen was chatting a few days ago, he inadvertently complained that the mouse was not easy to use. Yu Xian specifically asked Wang Changhua for advice and then bought a Logitech mouse. Now brands like Razer and Inphic have just been established or have not yet been established. In 2008, the favorite peripherals of veteran internet addicts were Logitech. On the evening of February 2, Yu Xian was painting on a cardboard in his bedroom. She was painting very attentively, with her head lowered under the incandescent light, her slightly fluffy long hair falling by her ears, and her long, curved eyelashes fluttering like small fans from time to time. On the other side of the desk, sat a little girl of about three or four years old.

She is not a pretty little princess, but she is not skinny either. On the contrary, she is a little chubby. This was 2008, not 2002. In recent years, our country’s poverty alleviation work has been linked to the political achievements of local leaders, so this policy has been implemented more thoroughly. Even children in remote counties in the southwest have basically gotten rid of the problem of “not having enough food to eat”. She is full of energy after eating, and children like to play everywhere, so her skin is a little dark, but her eyes are very bright, and she has two neat pigtails on her head. She was lying sideways on the table at the moment, without even using her arms to support herself, so her chubby face was pressed tightly against the table, forming a shape like a hovercraft. He looked a little silly, with clear snot quietly flowing out of his nose. The little girl didn't care about the snot at all. She just stared at the originally ordinary paper box, which, after being painted with colored pens, suddenly became the kind of gift box sold in the market. "Hmm~, not bad." It was almost finished. Yu Xian picked up the box and looked at it carefully, seeming to be quite satisfied with the work. "Sister, you are so beautiful." The chubby girl also tilted her head back to comment. I don’t know whether he was complimenting Yu Xian’s delicate profile or the colorful box, and he sniffed again. I saw the clear snot that had originally flowed out suddenly slid back like noodles. "Dudu." Yu Xian turned his head and looked at the chubby girl: "Do you have a cold? You have a runny nose all night." This is the child of Yu Xian’s uncle. His full name is Yu Nian, and because he has been chubby since birth, his nickname is “Yu Dudu”. This nickname seems to be no different from 2024, trendy and cute. In fact, the world has not changed much between 2008 and 2024. But the strange thing is that we all subconsciously feel that 2002 belongs to the previous era. Even the memories of those years are gray, as if wrapped in a layer of fog.

But since 2008, memories have suddenly become “standardized,” a phenomenon that is difficult for science to explain. Speaking of Yu Dudu, it’s already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Why is he still in Guangzhou instead of returning to his hometown? Because her parents thought it was a rare opportunity to come to Guangzhou and it would be a pity to go back too early, and since they were close, they decided to stay here for a few more days. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the first-tier cities while tasting Cantonese cuisine. "I don't have a cold!" When children hear the words "cold and fever", they immediately think of the painful memories of getting shots in the buttocks. Yu Dudu did the same and immediately and firmly denied it. "Really? But I think so." Yu Xian took two tissues and walked over to help his little cousin blow her nose. Children also hate washing their faces, wiping their faces and blowing their noses. Yu Dudu was also struggling, shaking his head. But she was weak and could not resist, so she could only let her sister wipe her clean. Yu Dudu then asked with a heavy nasal voice: "Sister, are you preparing a gift for your boyfriend?" Yu Dudu was born in 2004. The growth process of this group of children coincided with the era of information explosion, so they are relatively precocious. They know the meaning of words like "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" when they are very young. Of course, their personalities are more distinct, and it is this group of people who will sort out the workplace in the future. But it can also be seen from here that in cos sister's home, everyone from top to bottom probably knows that she has a boyfriend. Maybe the life of ordinary people is not as twisted as that of Professor Lu Man, who is always particularly concerned about other people's opinions in everything. We ordinary people. If you like it, you love it. If you love someone, just admit it. There is no thought of comparison. Mountains chase mountains, people chase people, and there is no end to the answers in a lifetime. Lu Man is a university professor and has read a lot of books, but he just can't see through this point. "Yes." Yu Xian responded crisply, threw the tissue into the trash can, turned around and asked Yu Dudu: "Do you want some water?" "do not want!" Yu Dudu raised his head and refused again. Not only do children dislike drinking water, they also dislike eating vegetables. So Yu Xian ignored her, opened the door and walked out. The sound of adults chatting could be heard outside. When Yu Xian came to the living room, someone asked, "What is Dudu doing? Did she bother you?"

"No, I was drawing and she was playing nearby." Yu Xian replied with a smile. But thinking of the "slurping" clear snot, Yu Xian asked again: "Did Dudu catch a cold? Why does she look like she's going to catch a cold?" "what?" A woman's voice was heard, and it seemed to be Yu Dudu's mother. She said, "Last night, Dudu felt too hot when sleeping, so I lifted the blanket for her. Did she catch a cold?" "Ouch!" Grandma Yu immediately said with a hint of reproach: "Although Guangzhou is warmer than Aba, it is still winter after all. How can a child just leave the blanket behind?" Aba, that is Yu Xian’s ancestral home. "Haha...it should be fine." Dudu’s mother didn’t take it too seriously. It was normal for children to catch a cold, and parents wouldn’t be particularly nervous. "Then I'll make her some brown sugar ginger water, just in case." Yu Xian was a little worried. After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked into the kitchen. After a while, I heard the sound of the gas stove being turned on with a "click". Although I couldn't see anyone, just by listening to the noise in the kitchen, I knew that the work must be done very efficiently. "Xian Mei'er will definitely be a good wife in the future." Dudu's mother couldn't help but say, "Now she has the ability to manage the household and is pretty. Her boyfriend must have been very lucky to marry our sister Xian." "Don't say that." This is the voice of Old Yu Yu Xiaoliang, who has been coming over to accompany his relatives recently: "Xian Mei'er's boyfriend is also a very smart kid, and he is down-to-earth." "Why don't you call him over to see me?" Dudu's mother pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "The ugly daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law. We are not monsters, so why should we be afraid of eating him!" Most Sichuan and Chongqing women speak in this straightforward manner, but their ups and downs in accent are quite funny. In short, even if they scold me, I will just smile and shake my head and won’t really care. Of course, there may be reasons why I can’t scold them enough. "It's too early!" Grandma Yu said unhappily, "Going to the other party's house during the Chinese New Year means it's almost time to get the marriage certificate! They're just starting college now, why are you so anxious?" "I'm just curious~" Dudu’s mother didn’t dare to argue with grandma and just muttered something in a low voice. "Auntie, big brother."

A strange voice sounded. Judging from the address, it should be Dudu's father. He asked, "Are you going back to Aba in April to erect a tombstone for your sister-in-law? Let us know." This seems to be talking about erecting a monument for Yu Xian's mother. "that……" Yu Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment, his tone a little embarrassed, as if he had not yet made up his mind. I had always planned to go back to my hometown to take care of it, but my "son-in-law" suggested that I stay in Guangzhou, and he had very good reasons. "Mister Xian is going to participate in a painting exhibition competition in March. We want to see the results and follow-up. If it affects her development, then we won't go back." Yu Xiaoliang still said uncertainly. "But the customs over there..." Dudu's dad was just about to express his opinion. It seems that this issue has been debated more than once during the Chinese New Year. As a result, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Grandma Yu. "Customs are customs, and we need to analyze the specific situation! If Xian Mei'er wins the award, there must be other procedures behind it. What if there is a delay?" Grandma Yu is not as indecisive as Yu Xiaoliang. She said in a sonorous voice: "Xian Mei'er's future is the most important. If your sister-in-law were still alive, she would definitely not want Xian Mei'er's future to be delayed!" This is what Chen Zhuo once said. Grandma must have heard it, so she repeated it now. But Dudu’s dad seemed to disagree. "What a future." He curled his lips and said, "A woman's ultimate destiny is to take care of her husband and children. What's the use of painting well? There are a lot of portrait painters in Tianfu Square. They charge two yuan for a portrait. If you bargain, you can get one yuan..." Tianfu Square is one of the most lively landmarks in Sichuan and Chongqing, almost equivalent to the Tiyuxi area in Guangzhou. However, Dudu's father obviously did not have enough experience. He thought that the final fate of art students was to set up a stall on the street and paint portraits for people. In addition, his words also inadvertently reflected some deep-rooted feudal traditional ideas: Women should take care of their husbands and children. If they achieve too much outside, it will affect the harmony between husband and wife. "You idiot, you know nothing!" Grandma Yu rolled her eyes at her nephew and was too lazy to explain to him. In fact, in my grandmother’s heart, she also agrees with the concept that “women’s family > women’s career”. But grandma thinks the Chen family is better. The old man is worried that if his granddaughter has no ability after she gets married, she may not be respected by her husband's family. That's why she supports her granddaughter to win as many awards as possible before marriage, so that she can marry into her father-in-law's family with all the honors she has, which will at least increase her voice. Grandma didn’t know the characters of Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin, but in fact, they were definitely not the kind of parents-in-law who were difficult to get along with.

However, this is what is called "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run." After having children and grandchildren, they will naturally consider them a lot. Although outsiders sometimes think it is unnecessary, from the perspective of blood relatives and elders, they are only worried that the preparations for the younger generation are not sufficient. …… In the kitchen, Yu Xian’s brown sugar ginger water was already bubbling away. She also heard some of the conversations outside. Yu Xian also thought it would be better to hold the ceremony in Guangzhou, not entirely because of Director Chen's suggestion, but also because - This city is where his mother worked, started a family, and is buried. Every Qingming Festival, Yu Xian goes to the cemetery to pay silent tributes. Moving the ceremony back to his hometown in Sichuan and Chongqing was a custom, but Yu Xian always felt that it would disturb his mother. With a "click", Yu Xian turned off the gas stove, walked out and looked for something in the drawer under the TV cabinet. "What are you flipping through?" Grandma asked. "I remember there is a set of red panda cups and spoons here. I'll find them and give them to Dudu to drink." Yu Xian said. "Why is it so troublesome!" Dudu's mother waved her hand: "Just find her a bowl." As he was talking, Yu Xian had already found a porcelain cup with a cartoon panda printed on it. Even the soup spoon was covered with lush green bamboo, which looked very cute. “That ginger water is spicy…” Yu Xian raised the cartoon porcelain cup and said playfully, "I used this to coax her to drink it." Having stayed by the gas stove for too long, Yu Xian's iconic oval face was flushed, as pink as the sunset clouds. Because she was working, she forgot to put her sleeves down, revealing half of her slender white wrists. Even though there were a few drops of boiling ginger soup on her cuffs, she didn't care at all. Yu Xian always exudes a sense of homely virtue and natural charm. Even though the relatives are already very familiar with Yu Xian, they are still occasionally surprised by her brightness in her every move. "I said Xianmei'er would be a good wife in the future." Dudu's mother watched Yu Xian pour ginger tea into the "red panda" porcelain cup and said with some shame: "I don't even have the patience to coax Dudu." "Xianmeier is indeed." The grandmother also nodded with satisfaction. Her granddaughter was family-oriented and thrifty, tenacious and cheerful, and she was also a rare beauty. Chen said to that idiot, there is nothing wrong with him saying that there is smoke coming out of his ancestors' graves! ……

Yu Xian returned to the bedroom with a cup of "Red Panda Ginger Tea" and saw Yu Dudu holding the unfinished paper box and observing it. She opened her eyes like black grapes, and the expression on her face was as if she had found an interesting toy. "Sister!" Suddenly, Yu Dudu pointed at a string of numbers on the box and asked in confusion, "What does this 230 mean?" "Guess~" Yu Xian kept the secret and teased his little sister with a smile. "Humph~" Yu Dudu didn't get a direct answer. She puffed out her belly and said, "Is it your boyfriend's birthday?" Yu Xian rubbed the chubby girl's head and said, "There's no 30th in February." "There's none?" Yu Dudu asked casually, "Sister, why is there no 30th in February?" "Forehead……" Yu Xian didn’t understand this either. It was like everyone knew that “1+1=2”, but the teacher didn’t seem to have taught them how to prove why it was equal to 2. "Because it's the school rule!" Yu Xian was occasionally clever, and she replied on impulse. “School.” Yu Dudu believed it immediately. She had just started kindergarten and, like other children, had just completed the school system training. At present, in Yu Dudu’s mind, kindergarten is the most majestic place in the world, and Mr. Hu from Class 2 is more powerful than Ultraman. "What is 230?" Children are very curious. They are slowly coming into contact with and understanding the world, so they often ask questions about whatever they see. There is even a series of children's books called "100,000 Whys" which is specifically designed to solve their wild and imaginative chatter. "This is... um... love time for me and my boyfriend." Yu Xian was a little shy, probably because she was not used to talking about these things with her three-year-old sister. However, Sister Cos will never forget this date in her life. The moment she and Chen Zhu held hands was the beginning of their relationship. That day was June 2007, 6, and the college entrance examination results were also released on the same day. 2007-06-28至2008-02-14，正好230天。 "So long!"

Yu Dudu shouted in surprise. "How long?" Yu Xianxin thought it wasn’t even a year yet, but then she thought about it and realized that Yu Dudu was only 3 and a half years old, and 230 days was equivalent to one fifth of her life. "Let's not talk about anything else. The ginger tea is no longer hot." Yu Xian called his sister over to drink. Yu Dudu had already smelled the pungent smell of ginger. When she heard that it was indeed for her to drink, she turned around and was about to run out: "Sister, I'm sleepy and want to sleep, good night..." "no!" Yu Xian held Yu Dudu on his lap like a pig. Holding her in one hand, she scooped up some soup with a spoon and blew it on her lips, then said comfortingly, "Sister put some red dates in it, it won't be very bitter, you can have a taste." "OK then." Yu Dudu looked at his short legs hanging in the air with frustration. From her past "contests" with her mother, she had long understood that children had no power to resist adults. Fortunately, the panda patterns on the cup and spoon diverted her attention to some extent. Also, the sister is much prettier than her mother. Children are all very "lustful". When a little boy sees a beautiful woman, he will inexplicably have the urge to marry her, and then tell others about it, becoming a laughing stock among the adults. Just like Chen wanted to marry Deng Zhi back then. When a girl sees a beautiful woman, she will also hope that she will be her mother. "Sister~" Yu Dudu took a few sips and started nagging again. "Ok?" Yu Xian handed over another spoonful of ginger tea. "Why do you want to make your own boxes? Aren't there any for sale out there?" After Yu Dudu opened his mouth and swallowed it, he immediately asked a question. "Well... because it's more meaningful to make it yourself." Yu Xian told his sister the reason. “Why would it make more sense?” Yu Dudu followed up with another question. If it were an adult, this would be typical argumentative behavior.

But Yu Dudu was only three and a half years old, and she really didn’t understand. Yu Xian is very patient with children. When she was a part-time teacher in an educational institution, she was always the "king of children" among the younger students. She thought carefully about her original intention of drawing the gift box, pinched her sister's little face, and said: "Because the process of making is the process of recollection. When doing things, all the little moments we had together will emerge in my mind..." Yu Dudu looked up and found that when her elder sister spoke, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, as if she was in a very good mood. Mom only smiled like this when Dad bought her a gold ring. "Sister." Yu Dudu suddenly asked: "Will you marry your boyfriend?" "Of course." The elder sister replied in a clear and affirmative tone. "Have you ever kissed your boyfriend?" I don’t know what Yu Dudu’s little head suddenly remembered, and he continued to ask questions tirelessly. "I've finished my ginger tea!" This time, the elder sister refused to answer. She picked up Yu Dudu and sent her outside. She patted her little butt and said, "It's almost 10 o'clock, kid, you can't stay up late. Go to bed quickly." The adults then noticed the time, and the group of people went back and forth. The house in Zhusigang was full, so Yu Dudu and her parents slept in a nearby hotel. When Dudu's mother hugged her daughter to sleep, the little fat girl could still think of the unanswered question: "Mom, have you ever kissed Dad?" "go to sleep now!" "Have you ever kissed?" "Mom is going to sleep, snore~ snore~" "Mom, I feel a little hot and a little cold." …… The next day, February 2, is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day in the Gregorian calendar. Chen's plan for today is as follows: Have an early sleep first, then go to the company to listen to the work report. I had lunch with my colleagues at noon and talked about the project of Suhui Mobile Assistant. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Zhusigang to find Yu Xian. The two went shopping first and then watched a movie. In the evening, they had Western food together and then found a quiet place to "cuddle". Although the process was a bit dull, this is how most young people celebrate Valentine's Day. Even if Chen Zhe was reborn, he couldn't think of too many fancy ways to celebrate.

After getting up at 9 o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhuo took a shower first, changed into the clothes that the cos sister bought for him, and picked up a L'Oreal eyebrow pencil package. This was the Valentine's Day gift he gave to Yu Xian. When we were chatting a few days ago, the cos sister said that her eyebrow pencil was taken by her little cousin Yu Dudu to doodle, so Chen Zhuo wrote it down. Each of them focuses on what the other person really lacks in life. It has little to do with price, the main point is practicality. This way of buying gifts is a bit like an old couple after marriage—— I can afford expensive ones, but I prefer practical ones. The plan went smoothly at first, but when Chen was about to go out in the afternoon, Yu Xian suddenly called him, his voice full of apology: "Director Chen, Yu Dudu is not used to the climate in Guangzhou and caught a cold. She had symptoms last night. I gave her ginger soup, but she had a fever this morning..." Chen knew Yu Dudu, a chubby girl from his hometown in Sichuan and Chongqing. She seemed to be only three years old. The cosplayer often filmed videos to tease her. He looked quite lively and strong in the video, how could he suddenly fall ill? "What do you say now?" Chen had a vague feeling that today's plan might encounter some twists and turns. "We gave her some medicine to reduce her fever at noon, but it didn't work. Now her fever has reached 39 degrees. We are going to the hospital." While Yu Xian was speaking, the weak crying voice of a child came from the receiver: "I want my sister to hold me, I want my sister to hold me..." "Murphy's Law states that good things may not happen, but bad things will definitely happen." Chen sighed secretly. He didn't need Yu Xian to say anything more. He could guess what was going on. It’s simply because Yu Dudu has a good relationship with Ajie, and now that she’s sick and weak, she wants to be with her even more, so the Valentine’s Day date may have to be postponed for a while. "Don't worry, call me once you've settled her down." Chen said sensibly. "Okay, Director Chen, please wait for me for a moment." Yu Xian hung up the phone in a hurry. Chen shrugged his shoulders to show his understanding. The cos sister has a lively personality and sweet looks. She has always been popular with children. It is normal for the little fat girl to be fascinated by her. But I didn't expect that things would become so serious later on. Yu Dudu was diagnosed with "herpetic pharyngitis" in the hospital. This is not a common cold but a type of hand, foot and mouth disease in children. No wonder ginger soup didn't work. The doctor recommended an IV drip as the fastest way to reduce the fever. Chen Zhuo was also a little dazed when he heard the result. What should I do then? But as a grown-up myself, I can’t possibly “steal my wife” from a sick little girl. "What a coincidence..." Chen looked at the paper movie ticket for "Slam Dunk" on his desk, which was specially bought by Zhang Guangfeng.

But the IV drip will take at least an hour, and by then I need to catch a car and meet up with others, so I will definitely miss Jay Chou’s first pretentious basketball movie. "Is there really such a thing as destiny?" Chen muttered silently. Since sweet sister can't come back, let cos sister cause some trouble too? “I hope the restaurant I booked can still be used.” Chen Zhuo now only has this one request. In order to make this Valentine's Day more romantic, Director Chen specially booked a seat at the famous "TAIPING" Western restaurant in Guangzhou, and also reserved a couple's set meal. Because the business was so good, the restaurant called to remind customers: food opens at 6pm and no one after that time will be served. Chen waited in the office for a while, but still felt unsafe, so he suddenly stood up. I might as well go to the hospital to find Sister Cos and take a look at the specific situation there. Anyway, I'm determined to celebrate this Valentine's Day, and even the matchmaker can't stop me! …… The nearest hospital to Zhusigang is the First Affiliated Hospital of Pharmaceutical University. Chen Zhuo estimated that it was most likely there. I called Yu Xian and found out that it was true. It took about half an hour to drive from the Science and Technology Valley. When Chen arrived at the hospital, it was almost half past three. Because it was not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the hospital was still deserted. Even in the infusion room there were only a handful of people, and most of them were children. It seems that not only Yu Dudu, but all children are easily infected with germs during the transition from spring to winter. The TV in the infusion room was still replaying the 2008 Spring Festival Gala, but almost no one was watching it, just treating it as some lively white noise. Chen spotted Yu Xian at a glance. The "ball" she was holding on her legs should be Yu Dudu. He looked a little fatter than in the video, and was leaning against the elder sister's towering chest, looking sick and listless, with an IV tube connected to his little hand and two unwiped tears hanging on his eyelashes. Pitiful yet cute. Yu Xian was holding a colorful version of "Pulling Carrots" and telling a story to Yu Dudu. "One bright spring morning, an old couple planted seeds of various vegetables in the field..." "The old man pulled and pulled hard, but he couldn't pull out the big carrot..." "Finally, two big-bellied pigs, three black cats, four spotted hens, five white geese and six canaries came to help..." This is a work written by the great writer Tolstoy specifically for children. Yu Xian's voice is sweet but not sticky, and it sounds comfortable and refreshing. As she spoke with emotion, not only Yu Dudu was fascinated, but even some of the fathers of the children in the infusion room looked fascinated. Chen stood at the door, watching Yu Xian hugging Yu Dudu and telling stories. His gentle voice echoed in his ears, and the thought "How nice it would be if this was our family" suddenly arose in his heart. When I was with Yu Xian, I often imagined these scenes:

After getting home from get off work, the two of them curled up on the sofa, turned off the lights and watched a movie on the projection screen. There were all kinds of snacks at hand, and they ate while discussing the plot of the movie. Or maybe they have been married for many years, and the child has fallen asleep, so the two of them secretly get up to eat takeout. As a result, halfway through the meal, the child walked out of the bedroom barefoot, looking at his unreliable parents with a wronged look. "Sure enough, the attribute of [home] in cos-sister is too strong." Chen was thinking quietly. After a moment, Chen Zhuo quietly walked over and patted Yu Xian on the shoulder. Yu Xian turned around and found that it was her boyfriend. "You're here." Yu Xian's face was filled with surprise, and her charming eyes, as crystal clear as amber, suddenly curved into a small crescent moon. The sweetness and liveliness came towards me, as if it could cover up the pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital. "hold head high." Chen Zhuo responded and reached out to gently push the hair around Yu Xian's ears back. This action is natural and intimate, and contains sweetness and thoughtfulness. Yu Xian did not dodge and let the boy's fingertips touch her. Anyone could see that the relationship between them was not ordinary. The air in the infusion room suddenly became "tight", and the fathers of those children probably sighed in their hearts that such a beautiful girl actually has a boyfriend. Yu Dudu also looked at this strange brother with curiosity, doubt, and a little hostility. Children are easily jealous. Seeing how close Chen Zhuo and Yu Xian were, she was worried that this man would snatch her sister away. Chen Zhuo winked at her, but Yu Dudu deliberately pouted and ignored him. "Wow!" Chen thought to himself, I've been in the underworld for many years, how can I not be able to handle a little fat girl like you? A nurse happened to pass by and asked politely, "Hello, how long will my daughter's drip last?" The nurse turned her head and glanced at Yu Dudu, then looked at Chen Zhe who had his hand on Yu Xian's shoulder. They really were a family. "Pharyngitis is a relatively acute infectious disease. The doctor prescribed two bottles of intravenous drip. If the child is slow, it may take two hours, and then he will have to do a nebulization." The nurse answered mechanically, reminded me not to forget to atomize my throat, and then left with an indifferent look on her face. It’s not that they don’t have love, but they are forced to develop such a work attitude in the domestic medical environment. However, Yu Dudu got furious when she heard this. She immediately sat up straight from her sister's arms and clarified in a baby voice, "I'm not your daughter!" "You said it's not the case, right?" Chen teased Yu Dudu with a threatening look on his face: "I see you are like that. Come home with me after the IV drip." Maybe the soil of Sichuan and Chongqing is specifically designed to nurture the bold and feisty side of girls. Yu Dudu was not afraid of being threatened at all. Instead, he replied fiercely: "I'm not going. I want to go home with my sister! Sister, you beat him up. He's a bad guy!" Yu Xian suppressed his laughter and gently patted the back of Chen Zhuo's hand: "Don't talk nonsense, Dudu's parents are here."

"what?" Chen Zhuo was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. It turned out that the couple sitting opposite him were Yu Dudu's parents. No wonder they looked at me strangely after I came in. "Uncle, aunt..." Chen greeted him awkwardly. Yu Dudu's parents are relatively young, at most in their early 30s, so it's a bit awkward to call them "uncle and aunt", but of course seniority is seniority, and it's related to etiquette. It is said that in some places in Shandong, a group of middle-aged people have to kowtow to a child during the New Year. "Don't worry about it..." Yu Dudu’s parents quickly waved their hands, it turned out that this was Xian Meir’s legendary boyfriend. As for his appearance, I can’t say he is particularly handsome. After all, he is not even as handsome as his father-in-law when he was young. In fact, Chen Zhe is not ugly at all, but it depends on who you compare him with. Compared with Yu Xiaoliang when he was young, his defeat was not unfair at all. As for his personality, he started teasing Dudu as soon as he came over, but he didn't show the "calmness" that the eldest brother praised him for. After all, he is only a freshman in college. How can he be mature at this age? The relationship between Hexian and her sister is quite loving. After all, body language never lies. In fact, this is enough. Being handsome is nothing more than a face, and personality cannot mean anything. The most important thing is that two people feel comfortable. No matter how strong your love is, it can't compare to the long-lasting daily life. "You are here to spend Valentine's Day with Xian Mei'er, right?" Dudu’s mother also tried to find a topic to start the conversation. This is obvious. She is holding a gift in her hand, which looks like a L'Oreal eyebrow pencil. "Forehead……" Chen showed a little hesitation. I just heard the nurse's answer. After hanging two bottles of intravenous drip, nebulization is needed, and it will take at least 8 o'clock in the evening to complete. If I wait here, not only will I miss the movie "Slam Dunk", but I will also not be able to eat the Western food I ordered. Besides, Yu Dudu is not without someone to take care of her. After all, her parents are here, and there won’t be any accidents when they take care of their own daughter. So Chen Zhuo deliberately used this reaction to give people the feeling that "it is true, but I am embarrassed to admit it because Dudu is sitting on Yu Xian's legs." Yu Dudu's parents are not very old, so they understand young couples' Valentine's Day dates very well. Dudu's mother even stood up and tried to take the fat girl: "Dudu, come to mommy's arms."

If nothing unexpected happened, an accident still happened. Yu Dudu seemed to realize something, and suddenly hugged Yu Xian's neck tightly. Her little round face became wrinkled, and she opened her mouth as if she was about to cry: "I want my sister to tell me a story! Sister, don't leave..." "Dudu, brother and sister are going out to work, come and sit on mommy's lap." "No! Mommy's legs are short and I can't sit comfortably!" "Then Dad will tell you a story." "No! Daddy's voice is as awful as Donald's!" Yu Dudu not only rejected the love of her parents, but also spoke harshly to them. In front of Chen Zhuo, a "half-stranger", both the couple felt a little embarrassed. Especially when she heard comments about her short legs, the corners of Dudu’s mother’s eyes were already twitching. If the little girl hadn't been sick, the slap might have landed on her butt. Chen turned around and quietly asked the cosplayer: "Who is Donald?" Damn, it can’t be that Trump! "Donald Duck from Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse." Yu Xian knew it, and she spoke in a sweet voice into Chen's ear. "It turns out that duck's name is Donald." Chen thought to himself that he didn't know this name in his past and present lives. He had only seen it when he was a child, but never thought about understanding it. However, the current situation suddenly made me feel a bit awkward. Yu Xian wanted to spend a romantic Valentine's Day with her boyfriend, but Dudu, under the scolding of her parents, hugged her and cried loudly. Force her hands apart? It seems too cruel. Take her to celebrate the festival together? That's even more outrageous, and she still needs an IV drip. "Director Chen..." Yu Baibai didn’t know what to do and looked at her boyfriend pitifully. She had a beautiful oval face that could bring disaster to the country and the people, but her usual cheerful and bold personality concealed this charm. Occasionally, when she shows weakness like this, her eyes seem to be filled with a layer of shimmering light, like a rich rose wrapped in smoke, and anyone who sees them will feel pity. Chen Zhe couldn't resist the temptation of beauty either. "Then let's celebrate the holiday in the hospital." Chen didn't want to embarrass Sister Cos, so he decided to compromise. The only regret is that the "TAIPING" western restaurant is going to go bankrupt and the deposit cannot be recovered.

Of course, it was not without gain. Compared with the fixed routine of [watching a movie and eating], the atmosphere of "family of three" seemed to be more memorable. It was just missing the most important "hug", so Chen, who didn't want to suffer any loss, moved closer and said a few words to Yu Xian in a low voice. "Don't~" Yu Xian refused before he even finished listening. They had already kissed each other, but Sister Cos still refused with a red face, which shows that the stinky man must have made further shameless demands. Anyway, in the end, Chen Zhuo Anxin stayed in the hospital infusion room, and took the painting album, and he started to tell stories to Yu Dudu. "…Finally, with the help of the big-bellied pig, the spotted hen, and the canary, grandpa and grandma finally pulled out the radish…Everyone enjoyed a pot of delicious radish soup…" At first, Yu Dudu was not happy with the story told by this bad brother. Later, as I listened, I found that his way of telling stories was somewhat different from that of my sister. The elder sister has a nice voice, but the elder brother is better at creating suspense. For example, he would deliberately say “The big-bellied pig squealed…”, lengthening the ending sound and pausing as if he couldn’t remember it. All children have a desire to express themselves. Yu Dudu also resisted at first, but finally couldn't resist the "temptation" and started to answer. In the end, the three of them formed a lively interaction between Chen Zhuo and Yu Dudu, with Yu Xian helping out from the side and occasionally giving Dudu some water. The chubby girl's biological parents also laughed foolishly at first, but later they gradually felt something was wrong. “Are we redundant?” Dudu's father suddenly asked. "You feel the same way, don't you?" Dudu's mother smacked her lips and said, "It seems like they are a family of three. If you can let it go, just give Dudu to Xian Mei'er to raise." …… Of course, Dudu’s mother was joking, but the image of this “family of three” is indeed very strong. After Chen finished telling several stories, he picked up the half-drunk bottle of mineral water that Yu Xian had drunk, gulped down a few gulps, and picked up his cell phone to flip through it. There were several text messages during that period, and two of them were very sensitive except for work. One was from Song Shiwei, who told Chen that she and her mother went to listen to Eric Maskin's lecture. Chen replied: "Okay." The other one was actually in yellow, and she said "Happy Valentine's Day". She also attached a photo of herself facing the mirror in the bathroom, with the top two buttons deliberately unbuttoned, revealing her purple lace bra and the bottomless cleavage in the middle. You can imagine that if you bury your head in it, it will be so soft that it will make you suffocate. "You're still role-playing after you're sober?"

After Chen Zhuo finished admiring the photo, he glanced at Yu Xian who was braiding Dudu's hair. Not only did he not reply to the message, he also decisively deleted the photo. Now that I am a "family man", I cannot afford to be indecisive. Not only that, Chen Chu, feeling guilty, was also worried that he had been looking at his phone for too long. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he took the initiative to talk about the content of a certain message. "Wu Yu asked me how our Valentine's Day was." Chen said frankly, "I asked her to buy this eyebrow pencil for you." "What a coincidence!" Yu Xian also laughed when she heard this. In fact, she didn't doubt Director Chen at all: "I also asked Wang Changhua about the mouse I prepared for you." "How should I respond?" Chen thought for a moment and said, "Just tell the truth. It doesn't matter anyway. Let them laugh at you if they want." "Huh~, they dare?" Yu Xian tiptoed to the chubby girl Yu Dudu and said angrily, "We will laugh at them for having to spend Valentine's Day alone." "That's right!" Chen Zhuo felt that no matter what, it was better than being a single guy drinking alone under the moon. So Chen Zhuo told the cos group what happened today, and took a photo of Yu Dudu's chubby hand with an IV drip. As expected, it attracted two heartless laughs. Wang Changhua: Chen Zhe, other people spend Valentine's Day under the moon and flowers, but you guys are going to be a nanny to a little girl. Wu Yu: Oh, I don’t know who secretly bought an eyebrow pencil and told me not to tell Yu Xian! Now all my plans are ruined. Wang Changhua: And the mouse! Yu Meiren is a computer novice. She searched the Internet for a long time but couldn't understand the parameters. Finally, she came to ask me. After a while. Chen Zhuo: But we are still celebrating Valentine's Day. Yu Xian: Xiaoyu, I have received the eyebrow pencil. Thank you for helping Director Chen choose. I didn’t expect that such a serious person like him would think of giving me a gift on Valentine’s Day. I am really touched. Chen Zhuo: As for Valentine's Day, the focus is not on the "holiday" but on the "lover". The form is not important, the place is not important, the person is the most important. Yu Xian: I am not good at Chinese. Director Chen, can you help me think of a line from a Song Dynasty poem that goes, "If two people are together for a long time, why would they care about being together day and night?" Chen Zhuo: I am tone-deaf, cos sister, can you help me recall, does Meng Tingwei have a song called "Valentine's Day Without a Lover"? Yu Xian: We are not suitable to sing together. Chen Zhuo: Then who is suitable? Netizen Wang and netizen Wu who do not want to reveal their names? The group suddenly became quiet. Apparently, all the gossip worked, leaving the single guys who were spending the holiday alone speechless. Then they broke down and started to diss Chen Zhe and Yu Xian in private messages. Wang Changhua: Chenzhe, don’t go too far. Yuanyuan and Huang Baihan in the group are also single. Why are you using them to harass us? Chen Zhuo: Yuanyuan is still a child, and Huang Baihan also has a girlfriend. Wang Changhua: Does Dahuang have a partner?

Chen Zhuo: We confirmed our relationship years ago, but he didn’t want to make it public in order to prove himself. Wang Changhua: Damn it! After all this time, I am the one making fun of myself? I am going to disappear! Goodbye! Never see you again! Chen Zhuo: Wait! Wang Changhua:? Chen Zhuo: Why don’t you go get a meal for me? It would be a shame to waste it. …… Wu Yu was more straightforward. Wu Yu: Where are you, cos sister? Your comments have seriously hurt me. I want you to apologize in person and compensate me with a small cake. Yu Xian: You’re dreaming. You were the one who provoked me first. Wu Yu: Wuwuwu... Where are you, cos sister? My parents left me to go to the movies. I'm so angry! Yu Xian: Hahahahaha! Wu Yu: Are you really willing to let me listen to "Valentine's Day Without a Lover" alone at home? Anyway, Dudu's parents are here, so it's okay to add me as a light bulb. Yu Xian: Emmm... You came here to tell stories to children, which may be a bit boring for you. I will discuss with Director Chen and maybe there is a place that is more fun. …… So, Wang Changhua and Wu Yu both got the reservation code for the "TAIPING" Western restaurant. Of course Chen did not hide it from them, but admitted the existence of the other person. However, this funny reaction was a little beyond Chen Zhe and Yu Xian's expectations. Wang Changhua: Damn, Wu Yu's female Tyrannosaurus is also going? How can I still eat it? Chen Zhuo: If you really feel it’s too much of a stretch, then forget it. Wang Changhua: But you have already made a reservation, it would be a shame to waste it. Chen Zhuo: So are you going or not? Wang Changhua: Hey! Go ahead, you can't let the restaurant owner get away with it for nothing! Chen Zhe, I'm just giving you face. If it were someone else, I wouldn't agree to it at all. …… Wu Yu: Ah? And that idiot Wang Changhua? Yu Xian: That’s a meal for two. If you don’t like it, come to the hospital to see me. Wu Yu: It's so boring to be your light bulb. I'm bored to death at home. I might as well just go for a quick meal and pretend that idiot doesn't exist. Yu Xian: Xiaoyu, that’s not what you said just now. …… Around 5:27 in the evening, Wang Changhua and Wu Yu arrived one after another at booth of the "TAIPING" Western restaurant. The meal hasn't started yet, but the surrounding tables are already full. Their faces are filled with happiness, and they are obviously couples. "Hehe~, you actually know how to get a hairstyle?" Wu Yu sat down first and looked at the shiny hairspray on Wang Changhua's head. It was obvious that she had it specially done by Tony.

Wu Yu was a little happy. At least it shows that Wang Changhua takes this "date" very seriously. However, Wang Changhua obviously misunderstood. He thought Wu Yu was mocking him for being unkempt. Ever since these two people met, they often quarreled with each other whenever they met, and they hardly ever had a good conversation. "Aren't you wearing makeup too?" Wang Changhua rolled her eyes and said in reply, "You can put on lipstick and eye shadow, but I can't just wash my hair?" Wu Yu originally planned to have a good meal with Wang Changhua. After all, it was Valentine's Day, so she put on some light makeup. As a result, when I heard the ungrateful tone of this idiot, I got furious. "It's a pity that it will still look so ugly no matter how much you wash it." "It's like you become more beautiful after putting on makeup." "If you think it's ugly, you can leave. No one is stopping you." "Why should I leave? Chen Zhuo treated me to this meal!" …… The two of them didn't say a word and soon returned to their previous way of getting along. What does this mean? A more literary way of saying it is "getting used to walking the old path." To put it bluntly, it’s “A dog will always eat shit.” "Hello, brother!" Just as "Hua Yan Qiao Yu" was chattering away, a voice suddenly interrupted from the side. Wang Changhua and Wu Yu looked over at the same time. The person who was speaking was a little boy about ten years old. He was carrying a bamboo basket with many bright roses in it. "Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Today is Valentine's Day. Buy her a bunch of flowers." The boy was young and dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was very articulate and even knew to praise people first when selling flowers. Normally, this kind of western restaurant will not allow salespeople to come to the restaurant. That is to say, the resident band had just arrived, and the waiter at the door ran to help clean the stage and move the speakers, so the little boy found a gap to sneak in. "Girlfriend? She doesn't..." Wang Changhua was about to clarify, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated inexplicably. It seemed as if there was an urge in my body, vaguely wanting to admit it. "what happened?" Wang Changhua herself was shocked by this reaction. At the same time, she felt something fall to the ground in her heart with a click.

It was like a guess that had been hanging in the air suddenly became clear. Wang Changhua didn't have time to think about what that guess was. He quickly glanced at Wu Yu, fearing that the female Tyrannosaurus would get angry because of being misunderstood. Fortunately, the female Tyrannosaurus suddenly received a message, and she was concentrating on replying and did not notice the mistake in the address. "How much is a bouquet of flowers?" Wang Changhua quickly asked the flower-selling boy in a hoarse voice, taking the opportunity to cover up the mistake in her previous address. It's just that suddenly there was a spring breeze blowing across my face, making my heart itchy with joy. It feels like I've gotten a good deal, and that good deal is exactly what I've been expecting. "50 dollars." The little boy opened his mouth without changing his expression. "what?" Wang Changhua was furious when she heard this: "Stop selling flowers. Do you see the Industrial and Commercial Bank across the street? I'll buy you a pair of black silk stockings. Go over there and find work!" "Brother, the goods we buy on Valentine's Day are more expensive." The little boy was very experienced and took the initiative to lower the price: "Since my sister is so beautiful, how about 30 yuan a bouquet?" Wang Changhua still shook his head. Normally a bouquet of flowers would cost at most 3 dollars, but because of the extra Valentine's Day buff, the price would increase tenfold. "elder brother." The little boy's tone changed to negotiating and begging: "Just buy one bouquet. The beautiful ladies at other tables have flowers, but you don't..." As he was talking, the waiter finally saw the "little mouse" that had sneaked in, and immediately came over to drive it away: "Didn't I tell you not to come in, you little bastard? If you don't obey me, I'll lock you in the kitchen!" They dragged the little boy out while threatening him. The little boy failed to make the deal, and there was inevitably some sadness in his eyes. "and many more!" Wang Changhua felt a little reluctant, and also found that there were indeed flowers on other tables, so she said, "Then give me a bouquet." "Ah? Thank you, brother!" The little boy's mood suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny, and he offered his blessing as if his mouth was covered with honey: "Thank you, brother. I wish you and your sister a better relationship and get married soon..." "OK OK." Wang Changhua listened more and more outrageous, interrupting: "At your age, you should study more. If you want to do business, wait until you get into a good university. I have a friend who is like this..." Wang Changhua originally wanted to use Chen Zhuo's example to educate the little boy, but he didn't want to listen at all. He grabbed the 30 yuan and ran away quickly. "Hey~"

Wang Changhua shook his head. How many Chens are there in the world? Most people give up the desire to study after they start making money too early. Although they may earn a hundred or eighty yuan a day, they actually lose the opportunity to broaden their horizons. Wang Changhua placed the roses on the table, deliberately moving them closer to Wu Yu. I didn't say it was for you, but my actions were already sending the signal. These are flowers for you. "This naughty kid will definitely be a profiteer when he grows up." Then, Wang Changhua started talking for no apparent reason. "Childhood performance cannot be used as a criterion for judgment. Chen Zhe was so dull in high school. I heard that he was even more honest in junior high school, but he turned out to be so confident in college." Wu Yu put down her phone and said. Wang Changhua didn't know that although Wu Yu was replying to the message "unmoved" just now, her fingers seemed to be typing very quickly. In fact, the "From" is blank and the edited information is garbled. The word "girlfriend" from the flower boy also disturbed Wu Yu's mind. I can only pick up my phone and pretend to be busy to hide my guilty conscience. But I couldn't help but feel nervous. I was really worried that this bastard Wang Changhua would say something to ruin the atmosphere! Fortunately, Wang Changhua did not deny it vaguely, and Wu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. The red roses at hand, with their petals stacked up like a string of red agate, made Wu Yu feel even happier. “It’s different when it’s kept.” Wang Changhua seems to have no idea how to be tolerant when dealing with girls. He would subconsciously argue with Wu Yu every time: "My dad said that he was thinking, accumulating and settling down before, and when he reached a certain level, he naturally emerged from the cocoon and became a butterfly." "And the butterfly..." For the sake of the roses, Wu Yu, who was in a good mood, did not debate as usual this time. She pulled a box out of her bag and threw it nonchalantly on the table: "I don't like to owe others. You gave me a bouquet of flowers, so I will give you a gift in return." Wang Changhua picked it up and saw that it was actually a belt. "I said a few days ago that I gained weight in the past year, and my old belt can no longer fit me." Wang Changhua said with a smile: "I didn't expect to receive a new one. What a coincidence. By the way..." Wang Changhua also took out a YSL lipstick from her pocket: "I just bought it casually when I passed by a cosmetics store. I also picked a color casually. If you don't like it, you can throw it away." "Wow!" Wu Yu was also suddenly surprised: "I praised YSL's color to cosplayers in the group, saying it's the best looking. I was thinking about buying it when I have time." Suddenly, they both froze at the same time. Do you know what I need? I understand your like? Doesn’t this mean that the other party is also paying attention to your every move? What the hell!

They both lowered their heads at the same time, and a hint of embarrassment and ambiguity was like a warm current, wrapping themselves from head to toe. Just as I was about to find some lame excuse to explain, I suddenly heard the sound of strings being plucked in front of me. It turned out that the resident band was singing the first song. The flowers bloom in the spring, taking away the sadness of winter; The breeze brings a romantic scent. Every love song is suddenly full of meaning; I suddenly see you at this moment. …… David Tao's song "Marry Me Today" is so appropriate for this day. Under the charming rotating colored lights, the waiters served the Valentine's Day set menu to the guests in the booths. In addition to the normal steak salad, etc., they also prepared two cocktails, one red and one blue. "Everyone." At this time, the lead singer of the band took the microphone and said: "Red represents lingering love, blue represents stable love, let us raise our glasses together and celebrate February 2th!" Surrounded by real couples, they naturally responded to the call. The "fake couple" Wu Yu and Wang Changhua didn't move at first, which made them look a little weird. Finally, under the curious gaze of the waiter, they had no choice but to pick up their wine glasses. "Cheers everyone!" There was a slight "ding" sound from the glass, as if it was the echo of the collision in the atrium. Wu Yu looked at Wang Changhua's embarrassed look through the red cocktail water and wondered, is this the cos sister's Valentine's Day or my Valentine's Day? …… It's Valentine's Day for everyone! Whether you have a lover or not, you can celebrate it as a holiday, but the partner doesn’t necessarily have to be your girlfriend, it can also be your work. Huang Baihan is like this. Chen Zhuo hasn't forgotten this best friend yet, and even sent a message to Huang Baihan asking "Where are you spending your Valentine's Day happily?" Huang Baihan replied: Be happy in the future. "This boy!" Chen Zhuo thought that Huang Baihan and Mou Jiawen were discussing their future plans together. In fact, Huang Baihan was standing at the door of the milk tea shop in the school cafeteria, and the ground was full of decoration materials. The cold moon was hanging high in the sky outside the cafeteria. At least in Huang Baihan's heart, he felt that the moon was lonely at this moment. Scattered white light hit the ground, vaguely reflecting the shapes of some people, but was quickly blown away by the cold wind. There is wind every year. The wind blows every year. Slowly means long.

Maybe some things are destined to live only in the memories of youthful journeys, especially now that I have chosen the path of starting a business while in school, and I am destined to give up all the grass growing and the birds flying and the breeze and the bright moon. "Before you succeed, never get involved in love!" Huang Baihan swore secretly. …… At 8: in the evening, Yu Dudu finally finished the IV and the nebulization. After leaving the infusion room and looking at the sky full of stars, Chen Zhe still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was still a sunny afternoon when he came here. Now, the sun has hidden in the lights of the night, and the glittering tall buildings are like reeds on the river, flickering as if swaying in the wind. Chen Zhuo held Yu Dudu in his arms, Yu Xian followed beside him, and Yu Dudu's parents followed behind them. The group took a ride home. Because Chen Zhe is very good at telling stories, he and Yu Dudu have a very good relationship now, so much so that he rarely does not want his sister to hold him. After returning to Zhusigang's home, when the chubby girl who had been sick all day fell into a deep sleep, everyone remembered that Chen Zhe was also a guest, and that he had gone through so much trouble along the way. "Chen Zhe hasn't eaten yet." Yu Xiaoliang stood up and said, "I'll make some for you." "Let us do it." Dudu's parents also rushed to say that they felt really sorry and wanted to do something to express their apologies and gratitude. However, they were all rejected by Yu Xian. She walked up to Chen Zhuo, her eyes as tender as water: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Lady Yu felt really sorry for Director Chen. They should have had a relaxing Valentine's Day, but not only did their plans fall through, but she even became hoarse from telling stories. "Sour noodle soup." Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat something soupy to whet our appetite." In fact, he didn't feel tired at all, and was even somewhat grateful to Yu Dudu for allowing him to enjoy the "joy of entertaining a child" after his rebirth. If I had known that raising a baby was so interesting, I would have given birth to one no matter how difficult it was! "Then take a rest, you'll be fine soon." Yu Xian first poured water for Chen Zhuo with his own cup, then walked into the kitchen. At the last quarter of an hour, she came out with a bowl of hot noodle soup. From a distance, you could smell the faint acetic acid smell that made your mouth water. "Director Chen." Yu Xian looked at Chen Zhe, and the corners of her red eyes trembled: "I'm sorry you had to endure this Valentine's Day. You can only have a bowl of ordinary noodles." Chen smiled, picked up the chopsticks and ate two big mouthfuls, then said with satisfaction: "It's delicious. Can I eat it every year in the future?" Yu Xian recalled every moment they had spent together, and it seemed as if no matter when or where, he would always be by her side like today.

It will definitely be like this in the future. The beginning of love is a misunderstanding, and the end of love is the endless sky. Sentimental Yu Meiren had tears in her eyes as she thought about it, but she controlled her tears and smiled at Chen: "Then I'll give you an egg next year." …… (End of this chapter)
