Chapter 246 Things I Only Understood When I Grow Up
On the way to the cemetery, neither He Shu nor Xia Miao mentioned Lai Huaguang, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
Xia Miao couldn't help but ask first; "What are you laughing at?"
He Shu glanced at her quickly and then concentrated on driving forward.
"Your father seems to agree that we should be together."
Xia Miao also laughed when she heard this: "I never objected to it in the first place."
"Then what are you laughing at?" He Shu asked again.
Xia Miao blinked slyly: "I won't tell you!"
He Shu couldn't help but look at her again, and he himself didn't even realize how doting his eyes were.
Of course he understood what Xia Miao was laughing at. She was laughing at Lai Huaguang for actually wanting to destroy their love.
He Shu will always believe in Xia Miao, so even if Uncle Xia was not there just now, He Shu would not worry that Xia Miao would be attracted by Lai Huaguang.
Because Xia Miao was the one who chose him when he was in the most embarrassing situation...
But Lai Huaguang hadn't given up yet? This made He Shu very concerned.
He could choose not to retaliate for the bullying he had in the past, but he did mind Lai Huaguang pestering Xia Miao...
"He Shu, you drive so steadily."
He Shu smiled and said, "It's not that I have good skills, it's that my godfather's car is good."
"Huh? What's so special about this car?"
"Don't be fooled by the old exterior of this car. All the parts inside have been replaced by the best quality ones by my godfather."
"Wow, this is a modified car?"
"Well, my godfather is very capable. He is a genius when it comes to cars."
He Shu was not trying to flatter Zhao Qishui. Zhao Qishui's research on automobiles is really amazing.
If my godfather had a higher level of education, he could be an automotive engineer.
The two drove smoothly to the cemetery. Before getting out of the car, He Shu put his scarf on Xia Miao, and then took out a bunch of artificial bonsai flowers that he had prepared in advance from the trunk.
“This flower…”
He Shu smiled and said, "I don't know when I can come again next time. This flower will not wither, and I can accompany my mother for a little longer."
Xia Miao pursed her lips and nodded: "Well, let's go."
The two of them slowly walked into the cemetery along the smooth stone road. The cemetery seemed even more desolate in winter.
When they arrived at their mother's tombstone, all the flowers that Xia Miao and Zhao Qishui had brought with them had been cleared away.
He Shu took out a pack of wet wipes and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone, then placed the bonsai in front.
The bonsai is very lifelike and bright, as if adding a bit of vitality to this deserted place.
He Shu just squatted there and carefully examined the tombstone to see if there was any place that was not wiped clean, and then stared at his mother's name on the tombstone.
He felt like he had a lot to say and ask, but he knew those questions wouldn't get any response.
Even if my mother were still alive, there might be some things she wouldn't tell me, just like when I was a child.
There are many things that you can only understand when you grow up.
When everyone makes a choice, the same person will make different choices at different times and in different circumstances.
Perhaps we all regretted the decisions we made yesterday, but we cannot spend our whole lives in regret.
If you make a mistake, correct it; if you owe something, pay it back.
People are not pre-programmed and can only operate according to a set transmission route.
What people need is constant correction, just like climbing a mountain that no one has ever been to.
It takes a little bit of exploration to find the most convenient shortcut up the mountain, and during the exploration process, the beautiful scenery along the way is the greatest significance of finally reaching the top of the mountain.
So, that day in the army, He Shu didn't let his uncle finish his words...
Xia Miao stayed quietly by his side without disturbing He Shu.
She really wanted to know what He Shu was thinking at this moment, but she had no special abilities and could not read into other people's minds.
After a long time, snowflakes began to float in the sky.
The weather forecast said there would be snow in the next few days, and it snowed as soon as it was predicted.
The cold snowflakes fell on He Shu's forehead, and he came to his senses and looked at the sky.
In fact, snow is only beautiful when it falls on the ground and piles up. If you look up as it falls, it looks like large pieces of dust.
"Is it cold?"
He Shu stood up and shook Xia Miao's hand.
"It's not cold, it's still early, we can stay here with Auntie for a while longer."
He Shu shook his head: "Come back later."
After saying that, he looked at the tombstone again and left the cemetery with Xia Miao.
Because it was snowing, He Shu drove very slowly and it was already noon when he arrived in the city.
The two of them ate a couple's hotpot together and felt warm all over. Then He Shu sent Xia Miao home.
"I'll be at home with my parents tomorrow and won't be coming out. When are we leaving the day after tomorrow?"
"If you have a flight in the afternoon, why not leave in the afternoon? Stay home longer ."
"Okay." Xia Miao was a little reluctant to get out of the car. She pulled the seat belt and said, "Huh? It won't open?"
"Let me see." He Shu first untied his own, leaned towards Xia Miao and stretched out his arm to reach her.
As a result, when his face got close to Xia Miao, a pair of soft lips touched it.
He Shu: “…”
Xia Miao held back her smile, feeling like she was taking advantage of this stupid tree.
He Shu unbuckled Xia Miao's seat belt, but didn't sit back. He turned his head to look at her.
The distance between the two of them and the posture were so ambiguous that Xia Miao, who was making a sneak attack, suddenly felt the temperature in the car rising and her heart was beating violently.
The two people who were originally looking at each other slowly shifted their gaze from eyes to lips.
He Shu felt his lips were a little dry, so he gently moved forward and the warm touch seemed to hit his whole body at once.
The snow outside was fluttering bigger and bigger, slowly covering the two figures hugging each other tightly in the car...
In the afternoon, He Shu drove the car back to the car wash. Only his godfather and Brother Xiao Dong were in the shop.
No one would come to wash the car in this kind of weather, so my godfather simply gave those uncles and aunts a holiday.
"You're back so soon? Didn't you take Xia Miao out to play?" Zhao Qishui glanced at the time and it was only about one o'clock.
"The weather is bad and there's nowhere to go." He Shu responded with a smile and took a soft brush to clean the fallen snow on the car.
"Well, there's nothing to do today. Let's cook some food tonight and go home to have some hot wine."
When Xiao Dong heard this, he immediately raised his hands and agreed: "Master, can you buy some more braised beef?"
"You're just greedy. That stuff costs dozens of dollars per pound." Although he said that, Zhao Qishui still took out two hundred yuan and gave it to Xiao Dong.
"Go to the nearby market and buy some wide noodles and seafood to go in the pot."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiao Dong took the money, went into the hut, put on a big cotton-padded jacket, came out and called He Shu, shaking the two big bills in his hand.
"Come on, let's go together and buy whatever you want to eat."
Zhao Qishui laughed and told He Shu to go, "Go ahead, pick up the food you two like to eat and buy it."
