Chapter 200 The life I once imagined(1/2)
Although Zhang Guowei was surprised that his son and Xu Duanran would return to Linjiang on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
But I heard that something was wrong with the school and the company, so I didn’t say anything. I just told them to pay attention to safety on the road.
By the time he finished the call, Xu Duanran had basically packed up and was just waiting for the moving company to come to his door.
Zhang Mingyang walked to the batch of packed luggage and looked around carefully, but he didn't find the pink and white password box.
He suspected that the box might still be upstairs.
"Are you sure you have taken everything?" Zhang Mingyang asked.
It seems like a casual question, but it means something.
Xu Duanran just regarded the bad guy as an ordinary reminder, checked it again, and said: "Don't worry, I checked it several times and I have brought everything. The only thing I haven't brought is..."
The eldest lady jumped up to him, took his arm and said, "I haven't brought you with me yet."
Until the moving company came to her door, she didn't go up to pick up the lock box.
Later, when Zhang Mingyang was putting away his luggage, he returned to Xu Duanran's room on the pretext that he had forgotten something upstairs.
At this time, there was nothing in the room except furniture. It was already empty. He opened the cabinet and found that the password box was still lying inside.
Zhang Mingyang knelt down and took out the password box from inside.
He looked at the box in his hand, which was filled with memories of him and Xu Duanran over the past ten years.
After squatting on the ground and hesitating for a moment, Zhang Mingyang finally put the box back.
The eldest lady didn't bring this most important thing with her, maybe because she wanted to get rid of the past, forget everything in the past, and re-examine the relationship between the two.
Starting this morning, their relationship has entered a new stage.
He closed the cupboard door, walked out of the house and locked the door.
Just let the past stay in the past.
...
The moving company's truck carried luggage, and he drove Xu Duanran in his father's car.
Although Zhang Guowei is rich, he is low-key and the car he drives is not even as good as his son's, just a Chevrolet costing more than 100,000 yuan.
He once asked his father why he didn't buy a new car. The reason Zhang Guowei gave was that Chevrolet was a sentimental thing.
Zhang Mingyang doesn't understand cars or emotions, but this car has been with him for a long time.
This was the car he drove when he first got his driver's license. When he graduated and started working, his father gave this car to him.
Driving this Chevrolet again, the familiar feeling returned.
"When can we arrive in Linjiang?" Xu Duanran was sitting in the passenger seat, playing with the decorations in the car boredly.
Zhang Mingyang glanced at the time and replied: "It's only three hours, very soon. If you're sleepy, just take a nap. You'll probably wake up soon."
After struggling for most of the night last night, he estimated that the eldest lady should be sleepy by now.
"No!" Xu Duanran refused directly: "What if I fall asleep and you fall asleep too? How about I chat with you, so that we are not sleepy."
"Don't worry, I'm in good spirits."
"When we get to Linjiang, will you stay at my house?" As soon as we finished chatting, the eldest lady asked her first question.
Zhang Mingyang turned to look at her, his eyes full of confusion, as if he was looking at a fool.
"The school is closed, so of course I have to stay at your house. You don't want to kick me out, do you?" he joked.
As he spoke, he placed his hands on Xu Duanran's long legs.
She wore a pair of slim-fitting jeans when she went out today. The curvature of her beautiful legs was clearly visible. Even though she was wearing trousers, she still felt very good to the touch.
It's a pity that it's not summer, so the eldest lady didn't wear a skirt, which is a bit regretful.
Xu Duanran picked up the bad guy's hand from his lap, and she bit him on the arm to show her dissatisfaction, and then put the dishonest hand on the steering wheel.
"Since you said so, I will reluctantly take you in." The eldest lady smiled mischievously.
Hearing this affirmative answer, a little joy filled Xu Duanran's heart.
She calculated the start time of the Polytechnic University and hoped that if Xia Xing could come back later, the later the better.
But after thinking about it, she hoped that this woman would come back soon and discover the relationship between her and Zhang Mingyang soon.
At that time, she did nothing, just watched silently, waiting for Xia Xingruo to make trouble on his own.
When she is disappointed enough and leaves, the bad guy will only belong to her.
She had hidden bad intentions in her heart, but she didn't show them at all on the surface. She fulfilled her promise and chatted with Zhang Mingyang who was driving.
With someone to chat with, time passes quickly.
Before dark, Zhang Mingyang took Xu Duanran back to Linjiang.
"We'll clean it up when we get back in the evening. I'm so hungry. Let's go out to eat together."
Li Zhu knew that it would take nearly half a month for the two sisters to come back, so he emptied all the ingredients in the refrigerator. They had nothing to use even if they wanted to cook for themselves.
Boxes of various sizes were placed in the living room, and Zhang Mingyang and Xu Duanran drove to a nearby shopping mall to find food.
After finishing the meal, they went to the supermarket downstairs to buy the things they needed recently.
Xu Duanran held Zhang Mingyang's arm.
This was a scene she had imagined before. The two of them went to the supermarket hand in hand after get off work, sharing with each other what happened throughout the day in the supermarket, and planning their future life together while shopping.
In the past, when she fantasized, besides expectations, she was more worried.
She was afraid that their relationship would change. She was afraid that they would be like ordinary lovers and would not be able to stay together for the rest of their lives after a quarrel.
It was only now that Xu Duanran discovered that after the relationship changed, she experienced more happiness, a kind of unprecedented satisfaction.
In the face of these, all worries and fears are worth mentioning.
If she had known this, she should have promised Zhang Mingyang when she was in high school.
Just like that night back at school, the two could secretly hold hands, secretly kiss in no-one's place, and use the rooftop where no one goes as their date venue.
If she is accidentally caught by the dean, she can confidently say: "I am his child bride. If you don't believe it, go find your parents!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of this, Xu Duanran was amused by himself.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Mingyang asked.
"I was thinking, what if we fell in love in high school and the dean caught us?" Xu Duanran said what he had just thought.
"There's nothing he can do if he catches me. I guess if my mother gets this call, she'll happily go to school and get scolded. She'll even be able to set up a table when she comes back."
When he was in high school, my mother had always taught him that Xu Duanran was a good girl and that boys should take the initiative and not wait for girls to take the initiative.
He took the initiative at that time, but it had no effect.
On the contrary, instead of taking the initiative now, the eldest lady took the initiative to stick up.
The two pushed the shopping cart and selected a cart full of food in the supermarket.
When he was pushing the shopping cart out to check out, Xu Duanran suddenly let go of Zhang Mingyang and stood still in front of a row of shelves.
Zhang Mingyang looked back and saw the eldest lady pointing at the shelf selling balloons. She didn't say anything, just looked at him eagerly.
When he came to the side, she stood up on tiptoes and leaned into his ear and said, "Should we buy some of this and go home?"
As she spoke, her two big eyes were still looking around secretly, making sure no one noticed them before she felt relieved.
Zhang Mingyang glanced at the shelf and joked: "Are you sure you want to buy it? If you buy it back, you won't be able to sleep at night."
Hearing the bad guy's teasing, a blush quickly rose on the cheeks of the young girl.
She reached out and patted him to show dissatisfaction.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest lady, Zhang Mingyang was in a good mood and gradually began to experience the fun of bullying her.
I don’t know how he resisted bullying Xu Duanran when he was a teenager.
Probably only the love of a child is bullying the person he likes, just to get her attention, which is what he did when he was a child.
When you are a teenager, your first love is often cautious and given clumsily.
"Hurry up and choose one, I don't know what you want to use." Xu Duanran urged.
Although there was no one around to look at them, the "guilty" young lady always felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them.
Now she just wants to finish shopping quickly and leave quickly.
When I bought balloons in the past, I was embarrassed and always secretive. I only dared to go to the 24-hour unmanned store.
But as he grew older, he became more and more thick-skinned, and it was no big deal to just go to the supermarket to buy balloons.
He walked slowly to the shelf. Xu Duanran beside him held his arm tightly, her face red as if she was dripping blood. She lowered her head and did not dare to look around at all.
The eldest lady was thin-skinned, so Zhang Mingyang stopped teasing her. He chose a pack of daily necessities and took her to the checkout counter with him.
Unexpectedly, after he finished his selection, Xu Duanran suddenly raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
"How come it's so fast? I, I heard, I heard that there are various categories of this thing. Did you just take one randomly, in case you can't use it when you go back..."
