Perhaps, she would be as prideful as Bai Yan and I had guessed. At the very least, she would pretend that nothing had happened in front of her parents. I think it must be! Otherwise, what would she do?
Using her parents 'deterrence to ease the tension between her and me. This move was simply too brilliant. I couldn't help but admire my own imagination. With just a few hints from Bai Yan, I immediately thought of it. It seemed that convincing Xiao Ya with my intelligence was effortless.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
The taxi quickly drove to the neighborhood where Xiao Ya's house was located. I got out of the car and hesitated as soon as I entered the neighborhood. I don't know why, but the thought of meeting Xiao Ya's parents made me nervous. I rarely come to Xiao Ya's parents 'house. It's a little unbelievable, but it's the truth. Every time Xiao Ya said that she wanted to go back to her house together, I would always find an excuse to decline. I would either say that I was busy or that I was not feeling well. There was only one reason, and that was that I was afraid to see Xiao Ya's father.
Xiao Ya's father was firmly opposed to my marriage with her. As for the reason, I don't know. In short, he doesn't like me. It was rare to see her father. The first thing I saw was his long face. It was as long as a donkey's face. There was no smile at all. Even when I was talking to him, he was the same. He was very serious. His father was a retired public security officer. Perhaps it was because of his career, but he looked like a suspect to everyone.
I stood rooted to the ground for a while. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I became. If I can't get past Xiao Ya's father, then I'm really an idiot. What should he do? I thought about it and suddenly realized that I seemed to have made a very serious mistake. Which son-in-law would leave his father-in-law's house empty-handed?
Thinking of this, I hurried into the supermarket next to the neighborhood.
I came out of the supermarket with big and small bags of gifts in my hands and went straight upstairs.
When I arrived at Xiao Ya's house, I was stunned for a long time before I rang the doorbell. She was still very nervous.
After a few crisp rings of the doorbell, a deep baritone voice replied,"Coming, coming, who is it?"
"Dad, it's me!" I had long recognized Xiao Ya's father's voice. I laughed and shouted before I saw him.
"Who is it?"
Following Xiao Ya's father's question, the door opened with a bang.
"Dad, it's me!" I repeated when I saw him looking out.
"Yo! Little Yu? Quickly enter the house! Hurry up and enter the house!" He forced a smile on his face and greeted me. When I entered the living room and turned around, his face immediately darkened. Then, they were filled with confusion.
"Xiao Yu! Are you here for something? It's a holiday or a weekend. Why do you have time to come over?”He asked hurriedly as soon as he sat down.
"It's fine! Dad, I'm here to see you and Mom.”I smiled embarrassedly and felt my face warm up. How can I pretend to be fine in front of this old policeman? Hopefully, he wouldn't be able to tell.
"Oh? Then why didn't Xiao Ya come with you?”he asked again.
"Ha, Dad, Xiao Ya said to let me come over first. Why? Didn't she call you?"
This lie was simply too bold. As soon as it came out, I started to worry. If Xiao Ya and her father really talked on the phone, then wouldn't I be asking for trouble? Besides, how can I be sure that Xiao Ya will definitely go back to her parents 'house? Sigh, this sentence was too decisive. If Xiao Ya doesn't go home after work, my lie will be exposed.
At this moment, my face had already turned red from that sentence. I was very worried that he would see through my flaws.
"Oh? Is that so? Hehe, this girl! Seriously, why didn't he inform her in advance? Alright, I'll give your mother a call!”As he spoke, he picked up the phone on the coffee table and quickly dialed a number. Then, he smiled into the receiver and said,"Hey! I'll tell you! Did you come back earlier today? Xiao Ya and the others are coming over!"
"Oh, my mom isn't home?" I had nothing to say.
"Hey! Don't mention it! It's all because of those old ladies who sing and dance together all day! Let me tell you, Little Yu, I just can't stand those old people who sing and dance together all day long. What's so beautiful about them? Was that young? Not old anymore?"
He made me laugh with one sentence. From this, it can be seen how old-fashioned he is.
In order to not be nervous, I quickly replied,"Actually, you should go out and relax. Don't always stay at home.”
"Me? Tsk. He shook his head with a smile and said,"Me? No way! Even if you ask me to starve myself for three days, I won't go! He might as well sit at home and watch TV for a while! What's so fun about that? Hehe…"
Heavens, he was really stubborn. I've never seen such an ignorant old man. However, I didn't know what to say. However, from his expression, he didn't seem to be suspicious of my arrival. However, I was still a little worried. After all, a lie was a lie. Once it was exposed, it would be an extremely embarrassing scene.
After a pause, he saw that I seemed a little restrained and smiled."Look at my brain. I'm really old! Wait here, I'll make you a cup of tea!”As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up.
"No, no, no, there's no need. I'm not drinking! If you want to drink for a while, I'll do it myself!"
"Do it yourself? Wouldn't that be bad? You're always busy and don't come often. When you come, you're guests!”
When I heard this, my face turned red again. Isn't this clearly pointing at me? Thinking about it, he felt a little ashamed.
Seeing that I lowered my head and looked at my toes without saying anything, perhaps he felt something and hurriedly tried to smooth things over."By the way, Xiao Yu, have your chess skills improved? Let's play a round?"
When I heard that he wanted to play chess, the nervousness in my heart finally relaxed. This was the best method, because sitting there was indeed too restrictive.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly said,"My chess skills can't compare to yours!"”
When he heard this, he smiled even more happily.
"I'm just bragging. If you want to beat me, you really have to train hard for a few years!”With a smile, he reached under the coffee table and took out the chessboard.
Halfway through the game, my forehead started to sweat. He didn't know how to play chess.
When he saw the sweat on my forehead, his face immediately darkened. He looked at me in confusion and asked,"What's wrong? That was it? It doesn't seem like your style. Tell the truth! Did you really come here for something? I see that you're absent-minded when you play chess!"
"No, no! Look at what you're saying! Why would I be absent-minded?" Seeing that he was asking, I hurriedly covered it up.
"Ha! It was good that he didn't! A few days ago, I read in the newspaper that the customs seized a batch of goods from your company worth more than three million yuan. I hope you're not here for this!”
What? Was he that well-informed? Why would I trouble him? That was not something that ordinary people could handle.
His words put me in a bad situation. Seeing that I didn't say anything, he smiled again and said,"Xiao Yu! I hope you won't do anything illegal. You should understand my words!"
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes. That expression made me shudder.
