He did not know if it was because he had found his conscience or because he had been busy with the Zhao Family's infighting that he had neglected Blue Heart. Xiao Zheng felt somewhat guilty. The two of them had been in a relationship for three months. According to normal relationships, they should have passed their honeymoon period by now, and the number of times they had met or chatted could be counted on one hand. To Xiao Zheng, who had never been in a relationship before, he felt quite apologetic. This was why he had taken the initiative to visit his parents on the first day of National Day. Apart from making Blue Heart happy, it was also an explanation for their relationship.
In the end, Blue Heart was a gentle woman that no man could bear to hurt. She was beautiful, kind, and had all the good points of a woman, but avoided all the bad points of a woman. For example, she was unreasonable. In these three long yet short months, Blue Heart had given Xiao Zheng enough space and freedom. She had never interfered with Xiao Zheng's private life, and she had always been at his beck and call. Xiao Zheng did not take the initiative to invite her to eat or go shopping, and she did not take the initiative to disturb Xiao Zheng. Once Xiao Zheng gave the signal, even if she was so busy that her feet couldn't touch the ground, she would still show up on time. Of course, Xiao Zheng knew what Blue Heart had done for him, and he was moved.
This was why he wanted to do something for Blue Heart. Even if it was not enough, it would not be enough to make up for the guilt in his heart. He still had to do it. Not only did he have to do it, he had to do it well. After all, Blue Heart was the first woman in the world to love him, and she had loved him for eight years. What reason did he have? What right did he have to hurt Blue Heart?
Even if one day, Lin Huayin found out about Blue Heart's existence and crazily pressured Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng felt that he would not do anything to hurt Blue Heart. Even if his current state was a form of harm to any woman.
Of course, the lucky Xiao Zheng hoped that this day would not come. At least, it would not come too early.
Ding dong.
Xiao Zheng pressed the doorbell. He cleared his throat and adjusted his necktie, trying to look energetic.
"Coming."
It was as if he had been waiting for the doorbell to ring. The door was quickly opened. The person standing at the door was none other than Blue Heart, who had woken up at eight in the morning to dress up and wait anxiously for Xiao Zheng's arrival.
At home, she was wearing a very beautiful home dress. Although it was not as unique as the workplace dress, her whole body was filled with a gentle aura of a good wife and loving mother. Even the delicate makeup on her beautiful face added a bit of a virtuous and virtuous temperament to her. His entire appearance made people feel comfortable and warm.
This was Blueheart. After loving and waiting for eight years, she was the first woman to break into Xiao Zheng's heart and occupy his heart.
"You look so good even in home clothes," Xiao Zheng said with a grin as he handed the present to Blue Heart. "I've really struck it rich."
"Don't be serious." Blue Heart's eyes were filled with happiness, but a trace of rebuke flashed across her face. She pushed Xiao Zheng, who had just put on his slippers, into the living room.
At this moment, a middle-aged man and woman walked out of the kitchen. The man was refined and well-mannered, and he exuded the aura of a scholar. The woman, on the other hand, was gentle and kind. She looked at Xiao Zheng with a harmless gaze. She said with a slight smile, "If you want to come, then come. There's no need to bring anything."
Even though these were polite words, they were spoken with great sincerity. There was no sense of hypocrisy at all. Facing the husband and wife's warm welcome, Xiao Zheng humbly bowed and said, "This is the first time we've met. Please take care of me, auntie and uncle."
"Don't just stand there." Lan Xing took off his apron and called Xiao Zheng to the living room. "Let's go, let us play chess. Let the mother and daughter cook. "
Halfway there, Lan Xing turned around and said to Blue Heart, "Brew a pot of tea. A few days ago, I bought a few boxes of Longjing tea from Hangzhou. I heard from my friends that this year's tea is fresher than previous years'. "
Chen Xiu rebuked, "If you want to play chess, can't you go downstairs and find someone else? This is the first time Xiao Zheng is playing chess with you. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Zheng won't come next time? "
After saying this, he went to get the tea leaves and let Blue Heart boil the tea.
In just a few words, the harmonious atmosphere of the family had already appeared. It allowed Xiao Zheng to feel the true warmth of a family. It was unlike Lin Chaotian, who seemed to want to trample on him the moment he appeared. It was embarrassing, but he also couldn't feel the warmth of a family. Even Auntie Dong, who had an extremely good attitude and was very gentle to him. Xiao Zheng also felt that he had to maintain some distance from her. He didn't know whether it was because Auntie Dong had lived in the upper class for many years and had developed this habit. Or perhaps she knew that Lin Chaotian wasn't satisfied with him, so she restrained herself.
But no matter what, the Lan family was like Blue Heart, giving people great warmth and consideration. In contrast, the Lin family was like the bone-chilling Lin Huayin, cold and unapproachable.
"Uncle, I only know how to play chess. I can barely understand it, "Xiao Zheng said politely.
"Then let's play chess." Lan Xing handed Xiao Zheng a cigarette and smiled. "Do you smoke?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng didn't pretend, in case he became addicted to smoking at the dining table later. After receiving the cigarette, the old and the young began to play chess.
"In our district, I can easily enter the top three," Lan Xing said with a smile. "Xiao Zheng. Whatever skills you have, just show them to me. Don't be soft. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if I kill you. "
Xiao Zheng sat upright and said, "Uncle, don't worry. With my level, even if I don't go easy, I might not be your opponent. I don't dare. "
"That's good." Lan Xing smiled, then lit a cigarette and focused on playing chess. He didn't dare to be careless at all.
People often said that the quality of a card was like a person's character. But that was only to judge a person's quality and self-restraint. On the contrary, it was the quality of chess that could determine a young person's character. This game of chess could be said to be Lan Xing's test for Xiao Zheng, and it was also Lan Xing's way to understand Xiao Zheng. Compared to all kinds of indirect or probing questions, Xiao Zheng naturally preferred this kind of gentle and amiable method. He wasn't like Lin Chaotian who said he wanted to kill him every time he opened his mouth. It was too bloody, too cruel.
In the middle of the game, the old and the young could be said to be at each other's throats. The undercurrents were surging, and neither could do anything to the other. However, Lan Xing was obviously more aggressive, hoping to gain the upper hand in this tug of war. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng's style of chess was unpredictable. It was hard to fathom. Sometimes it was fast and fierce, sometimes it was scheming. It was impossible to guard against.
Half an hour later, Lan Xing had a cannon and a horse left on the chessboard, while Xiao Zheng had an army left. Both sides seemed to have been eaten up, with only two soldiers left. Looking at the game, it could be considered to be about the same, with not much difference in victory or defeat.
Xiao Zheng respectfully handed a cigarette to Lan Xing, then lit one for himself, and said without any fighting spirit, "Uncle, looking at the current situation, we seem to be in a draw."
"A draw?" Lan Xing lit a cigarette and said with a smile. "I still have a pawn here. A pawn that crosses the river is unparalleled in the world. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and joked, "Even so, you don't seem to be able to beat me."
"Until the last step, no one knows victory or defeat." After saying that, Lan Xing continued to advance triumphantly, launching a series of crazy attacks. Soon, Xiao Zheng was forced into a desperate situation due to his lack of chess pieces. Lan Xing's chess pieces became more and more cautious.
At this juncture, one wrong step and the whole game would be lost.
Finally, Lan Xing sacrificed a horse to eat up the last of Xiao Zheng's troops, firmly taking control of the situation.
"I lost," Xiao Zheng said regretfully. "Just then, I should have forced your pawn to the bottom."
"If that's the case, then we really are in a draw," Lan Xing said happily as he patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder. "You're so young, but your chess skills are quite good. In a few more years, I might not be able to beat you. "
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Zheng towards the dining hall.
At this moment, Blue Heart and her daughter had already prepared a table of food. Because of Xiao Zheng's arrival, Lan Xing had opened a bottle of Maotai. He pulled on Xiao Zheng's arm and said, "Come, let's have a toast."
Blue Heart saw that her father had completely taken control of the situation, not letting Xiao Zheng go at all. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and say, "Dad, Xiao Zheng still has things to do in a bit. Don't get him drunk."
"Is your father someone who doesn't have proper things to do?" Lan Xing glared at Blue Heart. "You haven't done anything yet, and you're already helping an outsider?"
Being scolded by her father, Blue Heart's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head speechlessly.
Blue Heart's mother only continued to give Xiao Zheng food, her face filled with a loving expression. It was as if she was afraid that she would leave a bad impression on Xiao Zheng if she didn't treat him well.
Xiao Zheng, who hadn't experienced the life of an ordinary family, sighed with emotion. Although this kind of family made it difficult for Xiao Zheng to refuse, from another perspective, wasn't this the kind of family that Xiao Zheng yearned for?
As such, Xiao Zheng ate and drank. No matter what frequency Blue Mother used to give him food, he didn't refuse. As he ate, he praised her for doing a good job. For every glass of wine that Lan Xing gave him, he didn't miss a single one, drinking mouthful after mouthful. As he drank, he also praised the wine. As they ate, the atmosphere was indescribably joyous. The way Lan Xing and his mother looked at Xiao Zheng, they liked him more and more. It was as if they were happy that their daughter had found a good man.
After eating and drinking their fill, Blue Heart took the initiative to smooth things over for Xiao Zheng. She dragged Xiao Zheng out of the door. She was in a very cute rush.
"Whooosh."
Blue Heart, who was walking in front, stretched and turned her head with a smile. "Did you eat too much?"
"I ate my fill," Xiao Zheng said gently.
"That's good." Blue Heart stroked the hair on her forehead as she smiled. "Then when will you come again?"
"When I'm done. The first thing I did was to freeload a meal. "Xiao Zheng smiled.
"You have to keep your word," Blue Heart said.
"Of course."
After speaking, Xiao Zheng suddenly hugged Blue Heart's soft body and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me to come back."
"En." Blue Heart hugged Xiao Zheng back and said in a low voice. "I'll wait for you."
In that instant, happiness surrounded the two of them. It was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed, and it filled the entire neighborhood.
The so-called happiness was probably just these simple words and actions, right?
