Once a person made a decision, he would start to look forward to it.
It was as if he had a rare thing in his arms and always wanted to show it off.
He was looking forward to seeing Xiaoxiao holding his arm and appearing in front of Xu Qing. He was looking forward to seeing Xu Qing's expression.
When the passing score was announced, Xu Shi 'an clenched his fists tightly, feeling that everything was set. He quickly squeezed some money from Xu Qing and made an appointment with Xiaoxiao to go to the milk tea shop to discuss the matter of filling in the university.
The difference between the two of them was only one point. The choice of specialization that he had originally thought about was not a problem anymore, unless one of them happened to be squeezed out. The probability of this happening was even lower than the probability of him suddenly comprehending the Tiger Fool's Fist – Extremity during his spar with Xu Jin and using the ultimate profound meaning to beat Xu Jin up.
The matter of the university was easily settled. Xiaoxiao bit the straw and looked at Xu Shi 'an. The more she looked at him, the more she thought he was handsome.
"You said we're not in puppy love. What do you mean by introducing ourselves to godfather?"
"I mean to tell him that we're going to go far away."
"Be serious!"
"I'm being serious. We can't be in puppy love before. Now that we're going to college and are adults, he can't control us anymore." Xu Shi 'an looked out of the window and then looked back.
Now he didn't have to worry about the sudden appearance of two people in black clothes and sunglasses. He even secretly hoped that they would come again.
Then, he would openly hold Xiaoxiao's hand and walk out.
Thinking of this, Xu Shi 'an's eyes fell on Xiaoxiao's lips. At this age, she didn't need to put on makeup like Aunt Gong Ping. Even without lipstick, her lips were still red and shiny.
"Let's go back now."
He suddenly said.
"Ah?" Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"We have the whole afternoon. We can't just sit here. Xu Jin has a pile of snacks. Let's go get hers."
Xu Shi 'an stood up and took Xiaoxiao out of the milk tea shop. When they reached the intersection and turned a corner, he changed his mind and went to the flower shop. He found a way to get a bouquet of lilies from Jiang He for her.
Jiang He was sitting in the shop. In the hot summer, she had a cup of water in her hand and was reading a floral magazine with illustrations. She looked very relaxed. Her white dress covered her feet. Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and looked down at herself. She suddenly felt a little yearning.
"It's such a hot day. Why are you following him outside?" Jiang He said casually when he saw the fine sweat on Xiaoxiao's forehead.
"I'm discussing my choice. I'm about to look for Xiao Jin."
"Looking for Xiao Jin?"
"Yes."
Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. Knowing that Jiang He had seen through her, she felt a little embarrassed.
Xiaoxiao and Shi 'an greeted each other with the lilies in their hands. Then, Xiaoxiao and Shi' an went out again. Jiang He looked at their backs as they crossed the road. He picked up his glass and took a sip.
When she was his age, she had just met Xu Qing, but she wasn't as pure as Xiaoxiao. She lied to Xu Qing and said that she couldn't read. She even secretly picked up the waste paper that Xu Qing threw into the trash can to see if he was up to no good.
In another two years, Xiaoxiao would be able to get married.
Jiang He looked away, put down the magazine, and stretched. He leaned back in his chair and waited for a moment. A smile appeared on his face, and he took out his phone.
Jiang He: "I haven't been sleeping well for the past few nights."
Jiang He: "I miss you every night."
Xu Qing: "? "
Jiang He: "Don't you know how to care for me?"
Xu Qing: "You haven't been sleeping well, but you've been eating well."
Jiang He: "You're rolling your eyes."
Where's the bootlicker? Now, I'm the only one sucking up.
Hmph, men.
When Xu Shi 'an brought Xiaoxiao home, Xu Qing was holding his phone and laughing. When he saw the two of them enter the door, he restrained his expression and maintained the dignity of the head of the family.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend!"
Xu Qing: "?"
Xiaoxiao: "?"
"G-godfather." Xiaoxiao panicked. They had agreed to wait until they got the acceptance letter from Luocheng University. Why was Shi 'an in such a hurry?
Xu Qing raised his head and paused for a moment. When he saw Xu Shi 'an's smug expression, he opened his mouth but closed it again. Finally, he nodded and left without saying anything.
"Godfather, what do you mean by that?"
Xiaoxiao saw Xu Qing leave the living room and return to the house. She was very nervous and asked in a low voice.
"He acquiesced. Otherwise, what else could he say? He can't possibly praise you. "
Xu Shi 'an felt refreshed. It had been five years. It had been five years since he was followed by Xu Qing and Xu Jin on their first serious date to watch a movie.
Before the two of them returned to the house, Xu Qing came out again. He was very annoyed by Xu Shi 'an's arrogant look.
He finally understood why Xu Wenbin always got into conflict with him. His son was indeed a little like a spinning top, not like a daughter's cotton jacket. Black cotton was still cotton, and it looked very festive.
He stood in front of Xu Shi 'an and looked at him for a moment. He sighed deeply.
"You are brother and sister …"
Xiaoxiao's face turned red. She secretly pinched Xu Shi 'an with her right hand.
"Who asked you to treat her as your goddaughter? It's not too late to sever ties now." Xu Shi 'an put his arm around Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said generously. He was very confident with the three coupons in his hand. If he used one, he would have two more. If he used two, he would have more …
Xu Qing thought for a moment and nodded. "That is indeed a way."
"Godfather!?" Xiaoxiao was shocked.
"Alright, it's settled. You are not my son anymore."
Xu Shi 'an: "??"
Xiaoxiao: "…?"
The little turtle was trying its best to crawl in the corner of the living room. Xu Qing went over and picked it up. Xu Shi 'an was not as cute as the beetle, and Xu Jin was not as cute as it.
Now that it was more than 20 centimeters tall, it was a little inappropriate to call it a little turtle. It was difficult to hold it in his hand.
"The little bastard has grown up …" Xu Qing sighed.
"…"
"…"
Xu Shi 'an's face darkened. He pulled Xiaoxiao back to the room. He did not want to face Xu Qing who was scolding him about the turtle.
"Your family has raised the turtle for many years." Xiaoxiao remembered seeing the beetle when she was a child. At that time, it was only the size of half a palm. It was very small. "Is it the same one?"
"Don't mention that turtle."
It was originally given by Gong Ping to the siblings to play with, but it slowly became Xu Qing's. He had raised it for more than 10 years.
He thought he would grow into one of those big turtles that weighed more than 50 kilograms. Just thinking about it made him look cool. However, it was not that species. It grew very slowly.
Perhaps it was because of the good Fengshui. Everything grew easily. Even the flowers that Jiang He grew grew exceptionally well. Xu Shi 'an attributed it to the blessed land.
Outside, Xu Qing brushed the shell of the turtle and put it back. He thought for a while and went to knock on Xu Jin's door.
Filling in the application form was a big deal. Those with good grades would choose the school, and those with bad grades would choose the major.
He thought that the siblings would be very easy. In the end, Xu Shi 'an was easy, but Xu Jin was a little troublesome.
"Have you decided?"
"I've decided a long time ago." Xu Jin sat by the bed and nodded.
"I still think it's better to fill in a few more applications just in case. If you only focus on one, anything can happen. Strength, luck, hard work, and timing are all important. Sometimes, you just need that little bit of luck. If there are too many people applying for this, you might be squeezed out. "
Xu Qing said as he sat on the chair. He wanted to have a serious talk with his daughter. Xu Jin had always been very assertive. However, this was a fork in the road of life. He did not want his daughter to have regrets because of a small choice.
"There's no 'what if'," Xu Jin said.
"Nothing is 100% certain. If you have this kind of feeling, there's a high probability that something bad will happen." Xu Qing was very serious. Xu Jin only had one choice. After the college entrance examination, he would only fill in one application form. Although the score was not a problem, he was afraid of the small probability.
When it came to luck, Xu Shi 'an was the real lucky one. He forcibly raised his score by a notch. Xu Jin was very stable. He did not fail the test, nor did he perform excessively. It was a small pity that he was only one point behind the top scorer in English.
"If there's really a 'what if' …"
"At most, I'll just start all over again. What's the big deal?" Xu Jin smiled and said lightly.
Xu Qing looked at her seriously for a moment. He realized that his daughter was really relaxed.
Start all over again …
"You young people … Sigh." Xu Qing looked out of the window and paused for a moment. He shook his head and got up from the chair.
He had really grown up. Sometimes, when he thought about it, Shi 'an's character that was easy to be satisfied was actually better.
Xu Jin was silent for a moment. He flicked his hair and picked up a hair tie from the corner of the bed. He casually tied it twice and raised his chin slightly.
"Don't worry. There's no 'what if'. I'm not that stupid Shi 'an."
