NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 54
See...see the parents?
The noodles she had picked up suddenly broke.
Yu Na embarrassingly said: "...I'm not good with strangers."
"......" Xiao Chen was as if he had heard the joke of the century, "Don't worry, my parents will only be so enthusiastic that it scares you, there is no issue of not being good with strangers."
Since getting to know Xiao Chen, Yu Na had never heard him talk about his own family.
He always only talked about himself, and even about himself very little, this was really the sun rising from the west.
Yu Na was very curious about his family and parents, taking advantage of him being willing to talk about it, she also grabbed this topic, asking: "Are your parents very easy to get along with?"
"Yeah, you don't need to be scared. And they really like girls."
Yu Na couldn't relate to this feeling, because ever since she could remember, father had always been a lofty figure, never willing to lower his head.
He of course had strengths, brave, confident, wise, his aura and business sense, this made him become a famously brilliant business talent.
But in Yu Na's heart, he had always not been very real, the role of father, to her was also very vague.
Yu Na earnestly asked: "I had thought, businessmen who are very successful in their careers, are all not easy to get along with."
"No matter how big the career, aren't they still people?" Xiao Chen clicked his tongue, "But my dad is a bit too down-to-earth, wearing t-shirts in summer, two for $1.99 with free shipping, he still gets anxious when I buy expensive things for him."
Yu Na suddenly laughed out loud, finally understanding how Xiao Chen had pretended to be poor so incredibly skillfully before, without letting anyone find any flaws.
So it turns out it runs in the family.
But what was bad about living such a simple and plain life?
...
During the meal, Yu Na's heart was never able to settle down, from time to time looking back towards the front door, as if afraid someone would suddenly knock on the door.
This bizarre behavior was discovered by Xiao Chen. Before leaving, he said: "Move houses as soon as possible, I'm free on the weekend."
Yu Na lifted her head: "This weekend?"
"Yeah." Xiao Chen said: "When are you still thinking of dragging it to?"
"I was afraid you would be busy, I don't have a lot of stuff."
He didn't say any extra words, only spat out two words: "Available."
"Okay," a strand of sweetness surged up in Yu Na's heart, she let go of her personal feelings for Xiao Chen, and sincerely said from her heart, "Thank you."
"....." Xiao Chen was usually casual in private, rarely being so formal with someone. He deliberately knocked her head, "I'm leaving."
...
Before sleeping at night, Yu Na's mother sent two WeChat messages over.
【Na Na, don't be angry at dad, he is worried you would suffer outside, this afternoon when he hit you, he also felt very bad inside.】
【Your dad promised me already, this period of time he won't disturb you again. So you also calm down a bit, okay?】
After Yu Na saw the messages, she didn't reply, putting her phone to the side and going to sleep.
The next afternoon she had already packed up her things.
She didn't have a lot of stuff, one box was enough.
Yu Na sent Xiao Chen a WeChat message: 【I've packed up my stuff, do you have time now?】
Xiao Chen quickly replied: 【Got time, I'll come pick you up now】
Yu Na let go of yesterday's negative emotions, smiling widely as she replied: 【Okay, thanks】
Xiao Chen was driving that cool red sports car today. When he arrived upstairs, he had thought there would be a lot of stuff, he didn't expect there to only be one box.
Xiao Chen carried the box, Yu Na hugged that Doraemon, and together they went downstairs.
The moment the car drove out of Jinyu Jiayuan, Yu Na couldn't help but take another longer look back.
This ordinary and inconspicuous old complex, was where after moving here until now, her only place of residence.
The landlady was an aunty in her fifties, seeing that she was young, and knowing she had come here alone to live, took very good care of her.
The lease on the apartment was almost up, previously the landlady aunty had asked if she was going to continue renting it, Yu Na had said she would consider it.
At this time, she took out her phone, found the WeChat of the landlady aunty, and sent over: 【Aunty, I won't continue renting the apartment, thank you for taking care of me this time period】
The aunty instantly replied: 【Okay, have you found a new apartment?】
Yu Na: 【Yeah yeah found one already】
Aunty: 【Okay [hug], if you need any help, you can come find me anytime】
Yu Na: 【Thank you aunty [hug][heart]】
She was very lucky, in this unfamiliar city, she had met warm strangers.
Yu Na put away her phone, looking out the car window.
The winter sunshine shone in through the window, spreading warmly over her body. The sky was bright blue, a few clouds that continuously changed shape hanging there, moving along with the wind.
Yu Na was in quite a good mood, secretly making plans in her heart. The school had said after winter break next year, she would be able to move into the teacher's dormitory.
She had agreed to tutor Qiao Rui on weekends, which meant, she could see him every week.
And also, living in his home, it seemed the vague distance, was shortened all at once.
The corners of Yu Na's lips curved up, the happiness obvious between her brows.
Feeling like life was moving towards better directions everyday, she was like a little fish that had been let out, swimming freely in the ocean.
This kind of life where everyday there were unlimited expectations and anticipations, how wonderful.
Being able to frequently see him, not having to reluctantly part every time, hanging her heart guessing when would be the next time they met, so wonderful.
"What are you..." Xiao Chen looked at her boredly while waiting for the red light, discovered her blankly smiling while staring outside the window, and couldn't help but tease her, "Daydreaming with your eyes open?"
"......"
Yu Na snapped back to awareness: "...No."
Xiao Chen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, bored.
Yu Na turned her head to look at him, and suddenly called out his name: "Xiao Chen."
"What?"
"You're so nice."
It's you who I like.
But it seems, it's you who has taken care of me more.
However, never failing to ruin atmosphere, Xiao Chen lightly coughed, "Hey, I didn't say you could freeload, tutoring Qiao Rui every weekend, you promised me that."
She laughed gently and sweetly: "I know, I know."
...
Arriving at Huating No. 1, Xiao Chen wasn't in a rush to open the door. He put the luggage to the side, slowly reminded: "I don't use keys very often, normally use the passcode."
"Oh? The passcode is...?"
Xiao Chen grinned cheekily: "You guess."
Yu Na was stunned: "How would I know?"
Xiao Chen showed no intentions of opening the door, just tilted his chin at the keypad lock: "Just try."
Yu Na almost spat blood.
She also didn't know what tricks he had up his sleeve, giving him a suspicious look. He was leisurely watching the show as if having decided she wouldn't know the passcode.
She really didn't believe in this nonsense.
Just when Yu Na lifted her hand, preparing to input the passcode, Xiao Chen at the side slowly spoke again: "Friendly reminder, you can only input the wrong passcode three times."
"What if I get all three wrong?"
"Use the key," Xiao Chen was standing at leisure to the side, "But I didn't bring keys."
"............"
Yu Na angrily glared at him, simply threw caution to the wind, "Then I won't care, you brought me here, you have to take responsibility."
Xiao Chen quietly smiled to himself, this was her.
Since reuniting, her spoiled young miss temper seemed to have all been polished away, always treating people gently and tenderly.
He secretly felt gratified, because he hoped Yu Na would always be that young miss who could act spoiled, who would throw little fits of anger - in front of him.
Just when Xiao Chen was about to speak, "click", the sound rang out.
The door was opened by Yu Na.
Xiao Chen: ?
