"What? Propose?" Father Xu was stunned.
Mother Xu smiled." There's still more than a year before Momo graduates. There's no rush."”
Xu Rui probably also felt that he had said something wrong, so he said,"Yes, there's no hurry."
"Oh right, Mo, aren't you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?”For some reason, Father Xu suddenly remembered this matter.
Xu Momo felt Xu Rui immediately turn his head to look at her.
"I haven't decided yet." She said without much confidence," Actually... I want to work directly.”
"Work?" Mother Xu frowned. It was not easy to find a job after graduating from college.”
"Your mom's right," Father Xu agreed. It was especially difficult for girls to find a job now.”
"And are you sure you're ready to enter society?" School and work are two different things."
"The most regrettable thing about your dad's life is that he didn't have a good education." "Don't underestimate your academic qualifications, but it's a label that will be with you for the rest of your life…" He began to ramble on endlessly, probably because he was a little drunk.
"Isn't your major's postgraduate entrance examination rate quite high?”Mother Xu asked," Why did you suddenly decide not to take the postgraduate entrance examination?”
Xu Momo was bombarded by her parents 'words and couldn't get a word in edgewise. When she heard her mother ask her, she took the opportunity to answer,"I haven't decided yet. Actually, it's good to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I don't want to study at A University.”
"Then where do you want to go?" Mother Xu asked.
"Z University." Xu Momo said," Z University's chemistry department is one of the best in the country.”
"Good!" Father Xu was amused." My daughter is indeed ambitious."”
"Z University…Isn't it in D City?" Mother Xu frowned. D City is far from home."
"... Yeah."
In fact, this was one of the reasons why Xu Momo was hesitant.
Once she went to D City to study, she would not be able to go home whenever she wanted.
Moreover, she had just started dating Xu Rui. Whether they could withstand a long-distance relationship.
During this process, Xu Rui remained silent and did not express any opinions.
However, Xu Momo felt a little uneasy.
She had never told Xu Rui that she wanted to be a postgraduate student. Would he be angry because of this?
After that, they paid the bill and the four of them returned to the Xu family. Mother Xu cut a watermelon for Xu Rui and told him to make himself at home.
Xu Rui thanked Mother Xu and then started eating the watermelon.
Xu Momo couldn't help but laugh when she saw him eating the watermelon. He was always reserved when he ate, but when he ate watermelon, he did not care about his image at all.
Seeing her smile, Xu Rui said in confusion,"What's wrong?"
"When you eat watermelons…you're quite bold.”Xu Momo said.
"How else can I eat it?" Xu Rui was puzzled.”
Xu Momo demonstrated the ladylike way of eating. She took small bites of the watermelon without leaking a drop of juice.
Xu Rui pondered for a moment and commented,"This way of eating is quite sissy."
"Then I'm a sissy?"”
"No, you're a girl. You can't use this word to describe you.”Xu Rui explained seriously," You're a lady."”
" Nonsense, I'm clearly attacking forcefully." Xu Momo said shamelessly.
"Alright, you're going to attack." Xu Rui nodded calmly.
Seeing that he agreed without hesitation, Xu Momo's desire to argue instantly disappeared.
"By the way, tomorrow is Uncle Xu's wedding, right?”She said," Do I need to wear a gown?”
"No need, it's just an ordinary meal.”Xu Rui said calmly.
Xu Momo said," Oh," but she still started to think about what to wear tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Xu Rui left the Xu family because he still had to go back to write.
The next day, Xu Momo spent the whole morning choosing clothes. In the end, she decided to wear the pure white dress, which looked elegant and mature.
In fact, the thing she feared the most in her life was dinner parties. Dressing up a little more elegantly and coldly could more or less increase her confidence. Moreover, she could also nod her head and pretend to be the one talking when she didn't feel like talking…
After putting on her clothes, Xu Momo put on some simple makeup. The girl in the mirror looked very different from her usual temperament. Overall, she was a beauty.
She smiled at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.
Very soon, Xu Rui sent a message saying that he had already arrived downstairs.
Xu Momo went downstairs, but Xu Rui was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was about to call and ask about the situation, she saw Xu Rui get out of a silver-gray Volkswagen parked at the door. Moreover…he seemed to be sitting in the driver's seat?
Xu Momo quickly walked over and found that there was no one else in the car.
So the driver was Xu Rui?
"You know how to drive?" Xu Momo was surprised." When did you get your driver's license? Why didn't I know?"”
"I took the exam five years ago." Xu Rui took off his sunglasses and replied," Get in the car."”
After getting into the car, Xu Momo noticed that there was an obvious smell of a new car in the car, so she asked,"This car…is it new?”
"No." Xu Rui shook his head.
"So you borrowed it?"
"No," Xu Rui said. She bought it last month and had just completed the procedures.”
Xu Momo's eyes widened.”
Xu Rui turned his head to look at her and smiled."Don't you know now?"
"But…why haven't I seen you drive before?"”
"Because I didn't have the habit of carrying a driver's license with me in the past.”Xu Rui replied calmly.
Uh…Alright, this was also a reason. Xu Momo said helplessly.
However, she felt that Xu Rui did not tell her the real reason.
Although he hadn't driven for a long time, Xu Rui's driving skills were still quite familiar. It seemed that he had just practiced not long ago.
Sitting in the car, Xu Momo suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from Xu Rui's body.
Did he use perfume? Xu Momo couldn't help but get closer to Xu Rui and sniff.
Xu Rui was concentrating on driving, but he unconsciously realized that Xu Momo was leaning towards him. The scenery on his chest was unobstructed, and he almost stepped on the wrong accelerator.
"Slow down, don't panic!" Xu Momo was shocked.
She looked even more nervous than Xu Rui.
Xu Rui replied helplessly.
Xu Momo turned to look at him and realized that his beard seemed to have just been shaved, and his shirt was very flat, as if it had been carefully ironed.
She had never seen Xu Rui pay so much attention to his image.
She suddenly realized that although Xu Rui appeared very indifferent, he actually attached great importance to this wedding.
After all, this was his father's wedding. Xu Momo thought to herself.
Thinking of this, she suddenly couldn't help but feel nervous. She secretly made up her mind to perform well later.
The wedding venue was not far from the Xu family's house. It only took half an hour to drive there.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw Kou Xinglan running over.
"You guys are finally here." he said with a smile.
Xu Momo suddenly smelled a faint smoke and asked,""You smoked?"
Kou Xinglan nodded and suddenly said in a low voice as if he was facing a great enemy,"My stepmother is here. Don't mention my smoking, or she'll definitely scold me again.”
After he finished speaking, he patted his clothes as if doing so would dispel the smoke.
A tall woman dressed fashionably walked over quickly in high heels. Her hair was tied into a tight bun at the back of her head. She wore gold-rimmed glasses and a tailored dark brown dress. At first glance, she looked a little like a lawyer on television.
"Aunt Wan, look, Brother Ruirui is here.”Kou Xinglan said to the woman.
The moment she saw Xu Rui, Aunt Wan was stunned.
Xu Rui took off his sunglasses and fell silent. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he was trying to smile. But in the end, he still said with a tense expression,"Hello, Aunt Wan."
Aunt Wan nodded at Xu Rui. She sized him up impolitely and smiled."Lanlan always told me that you've changed a lot, but I didn't believe it. Now that I look at you, you're really different.”She looked at Xu Momo and raised her eyebrows."This is…your girlfriend?"
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded slightly.
Aunt Wan immediately smiled and praised,"Your girlfriend is so beautiful."”
"Hello, Auntie." Xu Momo greeted politely.
" Come in quickly," Aunt Wan said." Everyone who came today is family. There are no outsiders, so don't be so formal."”
However, Xu Momo noticed that Xu Rui's expression was a little stiff.
Especially when he heard that they were all family members, Xu Rui pursed his lips and the muscles on his face tensed up even more.
After entering the wedding venue, Xu Momo found that there were not many guests today, about 20 to 30 people.
" This is…" Suddenly, a voice was heard.
Xu Momo turned his head and saw a middle-aged man who looked a little like Doctor Xu staring at Xu Rui. He had a reminiscing expression on his face. A few seconds later, he suddenly realized,"Is it Yiyi?"
He smiled and patted Xu Rui's shoulder." It's said that women change eighteen times when they grow up, and so do men! The young man is getting more and more handsome."
Xu Rui was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he waited for the other party to finish before saying softly,"Second Uncle, long time no see. Are you doing well in America?"
"Yes, yes, it's pretty good. Your aunt and I are both pretty good. I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm busy too. It's rare for me to come back to China.”The other party chuckled.
He looked around and suddenly said,"Oh, right, why didn't I see Ruirui today?" She heard that he was a famous writer now and had been busy writing at home. Why? Can't you come today?"
There was a slight reproach in his tone, and even Xu Momo could hear it.
Of course, Xu Rui could understand what the other party meant.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Xu Momo.
"Second Uncle, you've got the wrong person."
It was indeed Xu Yi.
He was wearing a shirt and casual pants that were similar to Xu Rui's. At first glance, they looked like a couple's shirt. However, the same clothes gave him a completely different feeling from Xu Rui.
If Xu Rui looked lazy and restrained in this shirt (Xu Momo), Xu Yi looked gentle and reserved like a scholar.
"Yiyi?" Second Uncle looked at him in surprise and then at Xu Rui. He suddenly came to a realization and said," Oh, you're Lan Lan?”
Xu Momo's mouth was half open. How blind was this Second Uncle?! Could it be that this face blindness…was also hereditary?
"No, it's not Lanlan. I saw Lan Lan at the entrance of the toilet just now.”Second Uncle suddenly said," It's been a few years since we last met. That child has grown quite a bit…"
At this moment, Second Uncle suddenly stopped talking. His eyes widened as if he had just remembered something. He sized up Xu Rui with surprise."…Ruirui? You must be Ruirui!"
