Chapter 339 Don't dwell on things you can't understand.
I was a little tipsy from drinking last night, so I posted the wrong message. Please forgive me, readers.
When I woke up this morning, I realized something was wrong!
……
Summer rubbed her still drowsy head and sat up, supporting her forehead.
The setting sun slanted into the room through the window, casting a warm yellow band of light along the edge of the bed.
Looking at the hot water on the bedside table in the summer brings a sense of warmth to my heart.
I picked up the cup, took a sip of hot water, and moistened my slightly dry throat.
After drinking a cup of hot water, summer thoughts finally returned.
Summer gets up, puts on her shoes, and goes to the kitchen.
My aunt was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and the clay pot on the stove was bubbling away.
"Xiao Tian, are you awake?"
Seeing that it was summer, the aunt greeted her with concern.
"You're finally awake! You scared your auntie to death!"
"What's wrong, Auntie? What happened?"
Summer scratched her still somewhat dazed head, puzzled.
"You child, you've slept for a whole day and night without eating a single thing!"
"If the doctor hadn't said you were just too tired and had fallen asleep..."
"I thought you..."
"I slept for a whole day and night?"
Xia Tian found it hard to believe what her aunt was saying.
"Yes, yesterday afternoon, when your cousin Heng and Yamin brought you back, they said you were drunk."
"But you still hadn't woken up by nightfall."
"You child, you're not allowed to drink so much alcohol anymore!"
Summer listened to her aunt's deep concern and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I understand, Auntie!"
"Alright, dinner will be ready in a little while. If you're hungry, there's porridge in the pot, so have some to tide you over."
Seeing that Xia Tian was alright, Auntie went back to the stove and started preparing dinner.
At the dinner table.
Aunt looked at Xia Tian and spoke seriously.
"Xiaotian, what are your thoughts on Xiaoyue's marriage?"
When Xia Tian heard her aunt's question, she paused with her chopsticks.
He deliberately put Meng Yue's matter out of his mind and ignored it.
Now that my aunt brought it up again, all those things I did while under the influence of alcohol came flooding back like a tidal wave.
"Auntie, I..."
"I still want to try!"
Xia hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, if you want to do it, then do it."
"Auntie will always support you, and our family will always be your support."
"it is good!"
Summer nodded.
"Alright, let's eat first. After we eat, I'll have Yamin take you there!"
"Ok!"
……
On the jeep.
Song Yamin looked at Xia Tian, who was sitting silently in the passenger seat, and wanted to say something to comfort him.
But not knowing how to comfort him, I could only remain silent.
Soon, the jeep stopped in front of the Beiping Guesthouse.
"Yamin, you should go back first!"
Xia Tian got off the bus, looked up at the entrance of the Beiping Guesthouse, and said something to Song Yamin beside him.
"Brother Tian, can you manage on your own?"
Song Yamin asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, just drive slowly on the way back!"
"Brother Tian, I'll stay with you!"
"If I just go back like this, I won't be able to explain it to my mom!"
Song Yamin glanced at Xia Tian and decided to follow him anyway.
"Alright then, you can come with me!"
After listening to his cousin's words, Xia Tian thought for a while and then asked Song Yamin to follow him.
"Bang bang bang!"
Xia Tian led Song Yamin to the door of Meng's father's room and knocked.
"coming!"
The voice of Mencius' mother came from inside.
"Xiao Xia?"
Seeing the figure appear outside the door, Meng's mother was somewhat surprised, but then returned to calm.
"You're here to see Xiaoyue, right?"
"No, Auntie, I came to see you and Uncle!"
"They're looking for us! Come in quickly!"
Mencius' mother was surprised by her husband's accurate judgment, and then warmly invited the two of them in.
"Old man, Xia is here!"
"Uncle, please forgive me for visiting so suddenly at this late hour and disturbing your and Aunt's rest!"
Xia Tian spoke as he watched Meng's father stand up to greet him.
"It's alright, Xia, come and sit down!"
With a smile, Meng's father warmly invited Xia Tian and his companion to sit down.
"Xia, what brings you here so late?"
Meng's father pretended to be confused, knowing the truth, and looked at Xia Tian to speak.
"It's nothing major, just something about me and Xiaoyue."
"It was my oversight not to tell Xiaoyue about my family!"
"I completely understand how she feels."
"I also respect her opinion."
"I'm bothering you so late at night to tell your uncle and aunt!"
"Whether Xiaoyue and I end up together or not, it won't affect our relationship."
Meng's father nodded as he listened to Xia Tian's words.
"I've already arranged the rooms here. You can stay as long as you want!"
"I heard from Xiaoyue before that you and your aunt had never been to Beiping before,"
"Let's take this opportunity to have a good time in Beiping for a few days!"
"Uncle, then I won't bother you any longer."
After talking for a while, Xia Tian took his leave.
"Okay! I'll see you off, Xia!"
Meng's father got up and saw Xia Tian out.
On the jeep.
Song Yamin clearly didn't quite understand Xia Tian's actions.
"Brother Tian, aren't we going to go find your wife?"
"Don't go!"
Summer shook her head, signaling him to drive.
Although Song Yamin didn't understand Xia Tian's intentions, he didn't ask any further questions.
Don't dwell on things you can't understand, and don't ask too many questions about things that aren't your concern.
This is Song Yamin's life motto.
After Xia Tian left, Meng's father sat on the sofa in the guesthouse.
Mencius' mother sat beside him, looking at her old man as she spoke.
"Hey old man, you're amazing!"
How do you know Xia will definitely come looking for you?
Meng's father remained seated on the sofa, without answering Meng's mother's question.
He couldn't quite understand Xia Tian, this young man, and could only say that he was indeed a member of a prominent family in Beiping.
"Old man, I'm talking to you!"
Seeing that her old man sat there without reacting for a long time, Meng's mother raised her voice.
"what happened?"
Mencius' father's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at Mencius' mother.
"You're amazing! You actually guessed that Xia would come back to find you!"
Upon hearing this, Meng's father simply nodded.
Go to Xiaoyue's room and tell her we're going back tomorrow!
"Remember, whatever you do, don't tell her that Xia Xia came!"
"No, didn't Xia just tell us to stay in Beiping for a few more days?"
"Go find Xiaoyue first, I'll talk to you when I get back!"
Upon hearing this, Meng's mother did not ask any further questions, but nodded and went to find Meng Yue.
"Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about?"
Mencius' mother knocked on the door and entered. Looking at her daughter's condition, she asked her what was wrong.
"I wasn't thinking about anything!"
Meng Yue snapped out of her daze and replied to her mother's words.
"Xiaoyue, it's like this, I came to tell you."
"Your dad and I are going back to Jinan tomorrow!"
Hearing her mother's words, Meng Yue quickly spoke up.
Why are you in such a hurry?
"I was thinking of taking you all to explore Beiping for a couple of days!"
"I don't know either, that's what your dad said."
After hearing that it was her father's decision, Meng Yue didn't say much.
"Xiaoyue, you've never caused us any trouble since you were little."
"You're very opinionated. Mom is asking you, what are your thoughts on your relationship with Xia?"
"Mom, I don't know!"
Meng Yue shook her head in pain.
"Xiaoyue, let me tell you from the perspective of someone who's been through this!"
"Okay, Mom, go ahead!"
Hearing her mother's words, Meng Yue composed herself and nodded seriously.
"Xia's qualifications are indeed outstanding!"
"Plus, he's also very outstanding, so I understand that you're under pressure!"
"Let's put everything else aside for now and just discuss the current issue."
"You've rejected Xia now!"
"You'll be working in Saihanba in the future!"
"Your parents don't have the ability to transfer you from Saihanba to Jinan."
"How will you get along with Xia Xia from now on?"
"I……"
Listening to her mother's words, Meng Yue fell into deep thought.
"Yes, she will be working in Saihanba in the future."
How will we face summer from now on?
"So my suggestion is that you go find Xia and talk things out."
"Why did you reject him? Hiding here won't do you any good!"
"That way, things won't be too awkward when you're together in the future, don't you think?"
After listening to her mother's analysis, Meng Yue nodded seriously.
"Mom, I understand!"
"Yes, it's good that you understand. No matter what decision you make in the end, Mom and Dad will always support you!"
"I understand, thank you, Mom!"
"Okay, nothing's wrong. Go to sleep early, I'll be going now!"
"it is good!"
After Meng's mother left, Meng Yue lay on the bed in the guesthouse and fell into deep thought once again.
……
The next morning arrived.
"Dad, don't rush back today!"
Meng Yue found her father, who was packing his luggage.
"I'll take you to Tiananmen Square and see the Monument to the People's Heroes."
"This can be considered as a daughter doing her filial duty!"
Hearing Meng Yue's words, Meng's father nodded.
"Alright!"
"Let's go, old woman, let's go see Tiananmen Square with Xiaoyue!"
"it is good!"
Meng's mother put down the luggage she was packing and went out with Meng Yue.
……
"Brother Tian, look, isn't that your sister-in-law?"
Xia Tian led Song Yamin out of the Song family's courtyard, and the two were heading to the Huang family's house.
Upon arriving at Chang'an Street, the sharp-eyed Song Yamin immediately spotted Meng Yue and her parents not far away.
"Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian stopped and looked over.
After a moment of distraction, he finally spoke, watching Meng Yue's figure gleam in the sunlight.
"Aren't you going to say hello to your sister-in-law?"
"Why do kids have so many questions!"
Hearing Xia Tian's voice, Song Yamin closed his mouth in a sullen mood.
Everyone keeps saying he's a child, but he's clearly 19 years old. How is he a child?
Meng Yue was with her parents watching the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind in Tiananmen Square.
Suddenly, a feeling arose in my heart, and I looked up into the distance.
Although the two were some distance apart, Meng Yue spotted Xia Tian at a glance.
Looking at Xia Tian's tall and straight back, she was momentarily lost in thought.
"Xiaoyue, what are you looking at?"
Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Mencius' mother asked her with concern.
"nothing!"
Meng Yue snapped out of her daze and hurriedly offered a brief explanation.
"Mom and Dad, let's go! I'll take you to see some other places too!"
"it is good!"
The group walked along Chang'an Avenue, looking up at the magnificent Tiananmen Square.
Upon seeing the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on Tiananmen Gate, Meng's father couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
After standing at the foot of Tiananmen Gate and gazing at Chairman Mao's portrait for a while, Meng's father finally came to his senses.
"let's go!"
"okay!"
The group then strolled around Zhongshan Park, and after leaving Zhongshan Park, they went to Beihai Park.
Looking at the white pagoda in Beihai Park, Meng Yue's thoughts inevitably drifted back to the scene where she and Xia Tian were there that day.
Looking at his dazed daughter, Meng's father shook his head.
"Alas, what a tragic fate!"
After the three of them came out of Beihai Park, they bumped into Xia Tian and Song Yamin.
"Uncle and auntie!"
Xia Tian greeted Mencius' parents very politely.
"Um, old lady, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take my medicine when I went out today!"
"Come back with me!"
Hearing her husband's words, Meng's mother was about to speak.
When did you take your medicine?
She looked up and saw her old man giving her a meaningful look, then glanced at the two young people.
"Oh, right, you know, how could you forget something like this just to go out?"
Then, understanding the unspoken message, she began to cooperate with her old man.
"Let's go!"
"Well, Xiaoyue, I'm taking your dad home to take his medicine now!"
Before leaving, he said one more thing to Meng Yue.
Meng Yue nodded blankly.
The moment Meng Yue saw Xia Tian appear in front of her, her heart was in turmoil.
She didn't hear a word her parents said.
When Song Yamin saw that Mencius' parents had left, he showed no intention of leaving as well.
Still standing in the same spot, acting as a giant third wheel.
Seeing this, Xia Tian rolled her eyes in exasperation.
However, given the current situation, he couldn't very well offer any advice, so he had no choice but to let him be.
"Take a walk?"
Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue, who was in a daze, and made a suggestion.
Hearing Xia Tian's gentle voice, Meng Yue nodded.
Summer and Meng Yue walked ahead, with Song Yamin following behind like a third wheel.
Looking at Song Yamin behind her with great interest, Xia Tian secretly regretted her actions.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought Song Yamin out today.
"Engineer Xia, I..."
"Xiaoyue, I..."
The two said in unison.
"You speak first!"
"You speak first!"
Seeing the two speak in unison again, Meng Yue lowered her head.
"Then I'll go first!"
Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue's expression and spoke.
"it is good!"
"Xiaoyue, can we continue?"
Seeing this, Xia Tian didn't hesitate and spoke up directly.
"I don't know, I don't know how to face you!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yue responded.
"Xiaoyue, are you upset that I didn't tell you about my family situation?"
Hearing Meng Yue's answer, Xia Tian asked again.
"I didn't mean to hide this from you,"
"I'm afraid that if I tell you in advance, you'll feel pressured?"
"I was planning to tell you this during dinner that day."
"But that day you and your aunt and uncle left without even having a meal."
"I didn't even have a chance to explain!"
Xia Tian continued to explain.
Not far away, Mencius's father and mother also quietly followed behind the three of them.
