She is in the fog

He Xi returned to Fangcao Garden, looked up, and suddenly found that the balcony light on the third-floor corridor was still on, and it seemed that Sun Siqin had not fallen asleep yet.

She couldn't help but smile with emotion. Even though she had told Sun Siqin in advance that she shouldn't worry about her and go to bed early, Sun Siqin was still waiting for her.

In her previous life, she was afraid that her work would implicate Sun Siqin and the others, so she rented a house outside and seldom contacted them. Naturally, she could not avoid lonely times.

It was not until today that she discovered that there was someone waiting for her at home and a light that was left on just for her... This feeling was so heartwarming.

He Xi ran upstairs quickly, and just as he took out the key, the door was opened from the inside.

Sun Siqin stood at the door and yawned: "Are you hungry? Have you eaten?"

He Xi was a little surprised, but still pretended to complain: "Grandma, didn't I tell you to go to bed first? It's so late, your health is more important, don't worry about me."

"I'm just worried that you'll be hungry." Sun Siqin said as she walked into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of steaming carrot and pork ribs soup. "The food has been reheated several times. Eat quickly and go to bed. You have to go to class tomorrow."

Sun Siqin did not ask He Xi why she came home late. She was just worried that she was hungry, that she had to go to class the next day, and that she didn't get enough sleep.

To be honest, He Xi was not very hungry, but in order not to disappoint Sun Siqin's expectations, she still ate a full bowl of meat soup with rice. After cleaning up the dishes, she urged Sun Siqin to go to bed.

She washed up as quickly as possible and returned to her room.

Sit at your desk and turn on your desk lamp and cell phone.

drop--
00: 00: 00
December 2012, 12 has passed forever, the sun revolves and the earth rotates as usual, there is no difference.

The Mayan doomsday prophecy did not come true.
Human beings are still alive, living hard and full of hope.

During this period, judging from her constant probing and Mingmei's reactions, the two of them had basically made their intentions clear, and now all they needed was an opportunity to break the window paper.

She decided to create this opportunity herself and write a love letter to Mingmei.

She tore off a piece of beautiful letter paper and wrote "Dear Mingmei" on the first line. When she was about to continue writing, she suddenly felt that "Dear" was too frivolous.
So I changed the paper and wrote "Dear Mingmei". But then I felt that using "Dear" was even more strange, so I had to change another piece of letter paper.

After much trouble and changing more than a dozen pieces of letter paper, I still couldn't finish the salutation.

The wastebasket on the table was almost full, and He Xi felt it was a bit of a waste, so he decided to just write a draft first.

I read books, searched the Internet, used pencil to draw the basis, copied with pen, and then erased the pencil marks with an eraser. After a busy day, a love letter was finally completed.

He Xi sighed, folded it carefully in half, put it into the envelope he had purchased in advance, then took out a square piece of red colored paper, carefully folded out an exquisite red paper crane, and put it into the envelope as well.

She looked at the envelope in her hand, complacently imagining her married life with Mingmei, but Heigudong, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared, shattering her fantasy.

[He Xi, you are not planning to confess your love to Ming Mei, are you? ]

"of course."

【I advise you to put this idea aside. 】

"what?"

【At least not now. 】

"why?"

[Because premature love is absolutely not allowed. ]

"No, I'm going to try."
He Xi stretched out his other hand and quickly beat the black stuff into a ball of black mist, which disappeared. He then continued to happily admire the envelope in his hand.

On the weekend, because He Xi bravely protected Mingmei, Lin Ruxue invited her to her home. He Xi did not refuse, and she dressed up in a particularly cute outfit and went to Mingmei's house nervously.

However, halfway through the journey, He Xi suddenly hesitated.
Strictly speaking, does this count as the first public meeting with the parents? Would it be bad for her to come empty-handed?

I happened to see a fruit shop across the street and was about to buy some fruit when Bai Dudu suddenly appeared.

It said: [He Xi, you don’t need to buy fruit. People want to thank you, so they invite you to lunch. If you bring fruit, they will feel embarrassed.]

He Xi pinched his chin, it seemed to make sense.

Forget it, just leave it empty-handed.

I arrived at the bright and beautiful neighborhood, took the elevator to the 15th floor, stopped at the door, took two deep breaths, and rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was Lin Ruxue.

She was wearing a black coat, with her hair neatly tied behind her head. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes also revealed her elegance. She smiled and welcomed He Xi in: "He Xi, you are here, come in and sit down. Where is your grandma? Is the wound on your forehead healed? Does it still hurt?"

"Grandma went to the Social Security Bureau to do some work. I'm afraid she won't be back until the afternoon. Let's not worry about her. Don't worry, my wound has healed and has already started to scab over." He Xi said as she followed Lin Ruxue's instructions and sat on the sofa in the living room. Lin Ruxue poured her a cup of hot tea and brought her a lot of snacks and fruits. She greeted her warmly, which made He Xi feel reserved.
She stiffened her body, looked around, and asked curiously: "Grandma, where is Mingmei?"

"We should be watering the flowers on the balcony." Lin Ruxue pointed in the direction of the balcony and brought a bunch of tangerines in front of He Xi. "Be good, ignore her and eat tangerines."

"Thank you, grandma! I'll eat later!" He Xi waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile, "I'll go see Mingmei first."
After saying that, he hurriedly got up from the sofa and walked towards the balcony.

The balcony is far from the living room and there is a wall blocking the view. After He Xi crossed the wall, he turned around to look at Lin Ruxue's position. After confirming that she could not see this side, he took out the envelope in his arms and held it in his hand.

The room was air-conditioned and heated, but the balcony was separated by a glass door. The temperature difference between inside and outside was too great, and a layer of fog formed on the glass, making it difficult to see clearly. I could vaguely see a figure outside making a phone call.

He Xi tiptoed and carefully approached the glass door, then slid it open suddenly and exclaimed, "Surprise!"

However, when the figure in front of him turned around, He Xi almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Hello, Teacher Shen... Shen." He Xi immediately hid the envelope behind him and greeted the person in front of him awkwardly.

Shen Rulan was on the phone. She glanced at her and nodded to her.

"Then Mr. Shen, I won't bother you for now."
He Xi bowed to her, then quickly fled the battlefield. As soon as he reached the bathroom, he saw Ming Mei coming out.

"He Xi, you're here?" Mingmei walked up to her, naturally took her wrist, and pulled her to the living room.

He Xi clenched his fists, but secretly thought that something was wrong.
Over, where did the envelope go?
Sitting on the sofa, He Xi carefully recalled the scene just now. It should be that when he reached his hand behind his back, he was accidentally knocked off by the flowerpot behind him. He was too nervous at that time and didn't notice it.

It’s over. Teacher Shen shouldn’t have seen it, right?
Just as she was thinking, Shen Rulan finished her phone call and returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa beside her and asked with a smile, "Are you Mingmei's classmate He Xi?"

"Yes."

She pretended to sigh and said, "What a pity, both of you are science students. If you were arts students, maybe I could teach you history when you are in your senior year next year."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and He Xi took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to quietly go to the balcony to look for the envelope.

No, not on the balcony and not on the road.

He Xi's mood suddenly hit the bottom. It was over. Could it be that Shen Rulan had picked up the envelope? It contained a love letter she had written to Ming Mei. The wording was so corny that even she herself found it disgusting! Help!
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no trace of the envelope. If she didn't go back, it would be bad if they thought she was constipated.

He Xi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing the search and returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down obediently.

She suspected that the envelope was picked up by Shen Rulan, and her mentality changed involuntarily. From then on, every question asked and every word said by Shen Rulan seemed to have changed in He Xi's ears, as if they had become a test for her.

With this mentality, He Xi continued to deal with Teacher Shen's questions. He felt that his brain CPU was about to explode. After the meal, he had no appetite. Although the air conditioner was on in the room, He Xi still felt a chill on his back.

"He Xi, what do you like to eat?"
"How much did you get on the last test?"
"Do you have any hobbies?"
"Which school do you want to apply to in the future?"
……

Why did it always feel like Teacher Shen wanted to dig up everything about her? I had never heard of Teacher Shen being so fond of discussing family matters before.
Help……

It was a nice farewell banquet, but she made it feel like the Hongmen Banquet.

After returning from Mingmei's house, He Xi was very upset when he thought about the missing love letter.

She patted the back of her hand and muttered, "Look at my hand, why didn't I hold it firmly? I don't even know where it went... If it was really picked up by her aunt or her grandparents, how would I face her family in the future?"

She opened her arms and fell suddenly onto the bed, making herself into a cross. She pouted her lower lip angrily and blew air upwards, making her bangs wave in waves.

Hei Gudong appeared and said gloatingly: [See, I didn't listen to the old man and suffered the consequences. I openly provoked him and got bitten back, right? I don't even know where the love letter went. ]

He Xi said unhappily, "It's all because of your bad mouth that I got off to a bad start."

[Just wait until you are an adult, okay? ]

"Doesn't that mean it will take another year and a half?" He Xi sighed, "I don't want to wait even a minute."

[You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. 】

He Xi turned over, turned on his phone, clicked on the dialog box with Mingmei, and muttered, "In fact, I hinted to Mingmei a long time ago, but unfortunately she didn't notice."

[How did you hint? ]

"Hasn't she noticed that I send her goodnight messages every night?"

Heigudong:?
