Chapter 147 Actually This Is a Balloon
Today people do not see the ancient times and the moon, this month once looked like the ancients.

The custom of appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has continued for many, many years.

When the moon appeared in the sky, the two families put down their mahjong games and went to the balcony to watch the moon.

He Shujin prepared mooncakes for the evening, while Xia Hai took out the tea that he had collected for many years.

The moon in the sky is no different from the ordinary fifteenth day of the lunar month. The difference lies in the people who gather together to admire the moon.

He Shujin bought mooncakes of various flavors. Seeing that Xu Ling wanted to try each one, she cut the mooncakes into small pieces.

Xu Wen had only one thought when he was eating mooncakes: the mooncake vendors nowadays are going to great lengths to sell mooncakes at a higher price, adding all sorts of things into the mix.

After eating mooncakes, it was finally time for the two families to say goodbye.

He Shujin and Xia Hai stayed at home to clean up the battlefield, and she asked her daughter to see Xu Wen and his family off.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xia Ning deliberately walked next to Xu Ling, but in fact the girl had already seen through their affair.

She reached out and grabbed her brother who was walking behind her, and the three of them walked in a row.

Xu Ling deliberately joked, "Do you two look like parents taking their children out shopping?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two of them expectantly.

It’s a pity that they were all very good at pretending and didn’t reveal any flaws. They all just smiled after hearing what she said.

"I don't have a girl as old as you." All she got was her brother's complaints.

Then Sister Ning Ning expressed her approval: "I would be very happy if my future daughter is as pretty and smart as you."

Xu Ling was a little disappointed. She didn't see anything she wanted to see.

Xia Ning accompanied the three people to the gate of the community, and then watched them get a taxi and leave.

She stood there waving until the taxi left the corner, then she let go and returned to the community.

There were not many people in the neighborhood at night, and the only sound around was the noisy chirping of cicadas, which made Xia Ning feel upset.

The moon in the sky is beautiful, but the person who could hear her say "the moon is so beautiful" has left.

All she can do now is miss him.

Of course, besides missing him, there was another thing on her mind.

It was this incident that made her feel even more irritated.

Just now when Xu Wen was playing mahjong, he received a call on his mobile phone with the word "若" in the note.

You don't even have to think about who this person is.

It was Gu Xingruo, who had liked Xu Wen for three years just like her.

In the past, Xia Ning could pretend not to care, but when the two became boyfriend and girlfriend, her possessiveness became stronger and stronger.

Xu Wen did not answer Gu Xingruo's call, which made her very happy.

But he still replied with a text message.

From the beginning till now, Xia Ning has been crazy about wanting to know what the content of this text message is.

Although she never showed it, her heart was in shambles.

One of the voices told her to trust Xu Wen. The two of them didn’t talk about anything, they just sent a text message.

But another voice told her to just pick up the phone and see what was on it!
Xia Ning spent the entire moon-viewing process in such a dilemma.

She wanted to listen to the first voice and chose to believe Xu Wen and believe in his loyalty.

But another voice was growing wildly in her heart, as if it wanted to fill her heart.

Xia Ning did nothing until Xu Wen left.

She understood that no matter which voice it was, she needed to digest it herself.

Xia Ning paced back and forth beside the pavilion in the community, and did not go upstairs until she calmed down a little.

She really wanted to ask Xu Wen directly what the content of the text message was.

No matter it was the truth or he lied to her, she wanted to know the answer.

But Xia Ning hesitated for a long time holding the phone, but did not enter a single word in the chat box.

In her mind, there are two forces fighting now.

One is her strong possessiveness, and the other is her obsession with being the perfect girlfriend.

If she had listened to the first one, she should have taken Xu Wen's phone directly to see what the content of the text message was.

But if she listened to the second one, she would pretend that she saw nothing and believe him unconditionally.

Xia Ning was trapped in an almost eternal dilemma.

After the elevator opened, she stood at the door and took a deep breath before finally opening it.

"Why does it take so long? Is it hard to get a taxi during the holidays?" He Shujin, who happened to pass by, asked casually.

The nanny won't be back until the day after tomorrow, so she and her husband will have to work together to complete the housework for the next two days.

She has been cleaning up since just now.

In fact, he could have waited for the nanny to come back, but He Shujin, who was obsessed with mysophobia, would not tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in his eyes.

"I waited for a long time with them before we could get a taxi." Xia Ning continued what her mother said.

She tried hard to maintain a calm expression on her face, trying not to reveal any clues.

But this state certainly can't last too long, she just wants to get back to her room as soon as possible.

But her mother didn't seem to want to let her go.

He Shujin looked around like a thief, and when she saw that Xia Hai wasn't looking this way, she took her daughter's hand and whispered, "Come with me, I have something for you."

It is obvious that she wants to hide this little secret between her and her daughter from her husband.

"What is it?" Xia Ning asked curiously.

She was attracted by her mother's cautious look and temporarily forgot her previous upset.

"Come with me and you'll know." He Shujin didn't explain. She pulled her daughter and walked straight to the room.

Based on Xia Ning's childhood experience, she knew that it would be useless even if she resisted now.

She had no choice but to follow behind obediently.

He Shujin did not let her guard down even after she walked into the room. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her husband did not look in this direction.

She didn't turn on the lights and even left the door ajar.

The only light in the room was the moonlight outside the window and the light coming in through the crack in the door.

Xia Ning felt a little confused. Why did her mother bring her to her and her father's room?
And he is so mysterious. Is he going to ask about her and Xu Wen?

Before returning, the young couple had already thought of a solution.

Since you don't want your parents to know about your relationship for the time being, then keep it a secret and don't admit it no matter what your parents ask.

Xia Ning was already prepared, but her mother didn't ask any questions.

She just said, "Stand here and wait, I'll get it for you."

Then someone ran to the bed, lifted the sheet and reached inside to search.

In the dark environment, Xia Ning heard a "rustling" sound, which sounded like some kind of plastic product.

He Shujin quickly found what she was looking for, then wrapped it in her hands and returned to her daughter.

Xia Ning is now more curious about what her mother wants to give her.
He Shujin held her daughter's arm with one hand and the other.

Xia Ning felt her mother put something in her hand, and before she could see what it was, her hand was held tightly.

The edges of the thing inside were a bit prickly, and it hurt her palm a little.

He Shujin held Xia Ning's hand and said earnestly, "Ning Ning, you are an adult now. Mom is very happy that you two can be together, but you must protect yourself while enjoying your relationship."

Xia Ning was a little confused. From what her mother meant, was it simply assumed that she and Xu Wen were together?

The first part was easy to understand, but what did the second part, "protect yourself," mean? Would Xu Wen hurt her? She was about to explain, but her mother didn't give her a chance. She continued to talk to herself, "There are some things that I can't talk to you about. You young people shouldn't be so impulsive. Think carefully before you do anything."

What He Shujin said was confusing and Xia Ning didn't understand at all.

She now didn't know whether she should ask what the previous words meant or deny her relationship with Xu Wen first.

When talking to He Shujin, if you hesitate for even a second, you will never have a chance to speak again.

She pushed her daughter to the door and said to her: "Go back to your room and look at the things in your hand. Also, don't let your father see it."

After saying that, she opened the door and the light came in again.

Xia Ning was a little nervous now, she was at a loss as to what to do as she held the thing in her hand.

Finally, her mother patted her on the shoulder and said, "You must not be used to living in school. Go back and have a good rest."

"Oh." Xia Ning agreed and obediently took her things and returned to the room.

In the end, she didn't explain a word and didn't ask anything, just like when she was a child, or rather, it has been the same since she was a child.

Xia Ning felt that this might be related to her mother's occupation. As long as she started talking, others could not say a complete sentence.

She was very obedient and deliberately avoided her father. She only opened her hands after returning to her room and closing the door.

Just by seeing this thing, Xia Ning's face turned red instantly.

There was clearly no one in the room, but she immediately closed her hands again.

Although I have never eaten pork, it is placed next to the cashier counter in the supermarket every day, so it is impossible not to recognize it.

After Xia Ning calmed down a little, she put the things in her hand on the desk.

The one her mother gave her was a row of seven.

She remembered asking, very innocently as a child, what this thing was.

The adults just said it was a balloon and said nothing else.

Later, out of curiosity, she secretly took one out, opened it, washed it and started to blow it up, and then she found that it was indeed a balloon.

When she was having fun, her mother, who came home from get off work, beat her up and warned her not to rummage around in the future.

It's simply black history.

The things that her mother had hidden from her at the beginning were now handed to her voluntarily.

Xia Ning looked at the things on the table with mixed feelings.

The tangled mood just now and the current mood mixed together, making her feel like her brain seemed to have crashed.

Xia Ning reached out to touch it, and then felt a ring. After feeling the real object, she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

She finally understood what her mother meant by "protect yourself" and "don't be too impulsive."

But she and Xu Wen haven't reached that stage yet!

Besides, shouldn’t these things be prepared by boys?
Xia Ning was still an innocent girl, and she really couldn't look directly at the things on the table.

Normally, she has no problem talking nonsense or reading erotic novels, but when it comes to really facing it, she starts to feel embarrassed.

She sat in the chair in a daze for a long time before she decided to put these things away first.

Judging from the progress of her and Xu Wen's relationship, they probably won't need this thing for a while.

Xia Ning took the safe box off the bookshelf and was about to put the indescribable object in it when she hesitated again.

After thinking it over again and again, she somehow put the safe away and put the things in the backpack she was going to take tomorrow.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she decided to do it anyway.

At the age of nineteen, Xia Ning took her first implicit education class, and her teacher was her mother.

On the way home, Dai Guizhen kept asking her son about his college life and his various experiences.

After hearing this, Xu Wen answered them one by one.

He felt that what his mother wanted to ask was not these, but about the relationship between him and Xia Ning.

But as long as she didn't ask directly, he would play dumb.

Just answer whatever you are asked and don't say anything extra.

Parents always think a relationship is too complicated, but Xu Wen didn’t think so much. He just wanted to have an ordinary relationship now.

Dai Guizhen didn't ask until the taxi arrived at the gate of the community.

But she was very happy that her son was both the person in charge of military training and the flag bearer of the company.

A family of three walked home under the moonlight.

The house that Gu Hong gave him was very close to the entrance of the community, just a few steps away.

Xu Wen stretched on the way. He missed his mattress a little.

After working hard for more than a week, he finally got a good night's sleep. He was feeling a little sleepy now, so he could go to sleep as soon as he got home.

He yawned, but when he opened his eyes again he woke up instantly.

Downstairs, Xu Wen saw the familiar car, the red Ferrari California.

This car parked in their ordinary community is particularly conspicuous.

There are Volkswagens, Sagitars, Mazdas and other cars next to it, but a luxury car worth millions suddenly appears in the middle.

After seeing the identical license plate number, Xu Wen confirmed that this was Gu Xingruo's car.

I thought that the text message I received in the evening had sent the young lady away, but she actually came straight to my house.

Even Xu Ling recognized the car: "Brother, look, isn't that Sister Ruoruo's car?"

"Is he here to see you? Why didn't he call me?" Dai Guizhen asked from the side.

The few people walked closer and closer, and through the car window, they saw the figure inside the car.

The girl was lying on the car seat and seemed to be asleep.

After seeing this, Xu Wen realized one thing: Gu Xingruo might have been waiting from the time he sent the text message until now, or of course it might be even longer.

When Dai Guizhen saw this, she hurriedly took a few quick steps forward.

"Why is this kid sleeping in the car instead of going home on a holiday?" She said as she walked to the car and knocked on the window.

Gu Xingruo didn't sleep well, and she woke up instantly at the slightest noise outside.

She was a little angry at first because her dream was disturbed, but she quickly adjusted herself after seeing Dai Guizhen's face.

She lowered the car window: "Auntie, wait for me a moment!"

Without time to explain, Gu Xingruo hurriedly took out a small mirror and adjusted her messy hair.

Before Dai Guizhen could ask the next question, she picked up the gift on the passenger seat and opened the car door.

She handed over the gift: "Auntie, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Dai Guizhen said with some distress: "Ruoruo, how long have you been waiting? Give us a call."

She was a little flattered.

"It won't take long. I knew you were busy, so I didn't rush you. Anyway, I was free, so I waited for you downstairs." Gu Xingruo looked silly when she explained. She was still a little sleepy.

While talking to Dai Guizhen, her eyes kept glancing in Xu Wen's direction.

Not sure if it was because of the military training or because it was dark, but Gu Xingruo discovered that his skin seemed to have a more bronze color and his facial features became more resolute.

How she wanted to see something in his eyes now. Would he feel a little distressed when he saw that she had waited for so long?

"Actually, you don't have to wait for me so long." Xu Wen walked forward and took various gifts from Gu Xingruo.

This sentence has many meanings, but after he said it, he realized that the eldest lady might not understand it.

Gu Xingruo could finally look at Xu Wen openly.

She felt a little aggrieved, but finally said, "No matter when you come back, I will wait for you."
