Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 17 I don't want your house and car, nor do I want you

In Xia An's impression, Le Ning rarely wore a skirt unless she was performing on stage.

The few everyday dresses she had were ankle-length.

He had never thought deeply about these things in his previous life, but now all the details inexplicably emerged automatically.

Le Ning is a woman who is conservative in appearance but reserved in heart.

It's like an exclusive museum, open only to him.

The first time they went to bed was on their wedding night, which is hard to imagine in later generations.

At that time, Le Ning was already 32 years old.

Xia An remembered that night, Le Ning tried her best to suppress her unnecessary shyness and asked him: No one else has seen this, are these legs pretty?

Put away the memories.

Across the street, a dress with a plain white background and blue floral patterns came fluttering in.

Le Ning walked out of the gate and waited for the traffic light.

She saw Xia An. Although her face was expressionless, she was a little surprised.

Hair cut short?
Wearing a white shirt and slacks?
All of a sudden, Le Ning felt that Xia An's temperament had become much more mature.

She was holding a plastic bag with two transparent boxes inside.

The bright red, big strawberries are neatly arranged.

I told him on the phone that night that I would bring it to him.

To him, Le Ning always does what he says.

Xia An took the initiative to wave at her, but was blocked by a speeding car.

After the car passed and the water splashed away, Xia An only saw the back of the figure running towards the community.

After the woman in the white dress disappeared from her sight, Xia An received a text message from Le Ning.

【Wait a minute, change clothes】

【No rush】

Xia An was laughing so hard.

Forty minutes later.

Le Ning, who came out again, had also changed into a white shirt and jeans, and her high ponytail was still wet.

There was a blue women's bicycle under her, with strawberries in the basket.

When he rode closer, Xia An could hear her breathing heavily.

"You haven't even dried your hair yet."

Xia An said.

What he meant was that there was no need to rush and he could just take his time showering.

Lening extracted the meaning of care from it.

This surprised and puzzled her.

He had never spoken to her in such a tone before and had always been indifferent to her.

She tilted her head and looked at Xia An carefully for a few times, and found that he had changed, not just in his appearance and temperament.

Those who love you know you better than you know yourself.

Le Ning keenly noticed that Xia An's eyes, smile, and way of speaking had changed.

Grow up after the college entrance examination?

She had thought that this day would be spent waiting for him to graduate from college, waiting for him to encounter setbacks in life...

very nice.

Le Ning shook her head, her ponytail swung twice, and motioned Xia An to sit on it.

Xia An laughed: "You're taking me?"

Le Ning said, "We're almost late."

Xia An said just take a taxi.

"It's only a ten-minute bike ride away. Don't waste your money."

Xia An held the handlebars and nodded at her.

This also has never happened.

Le Ning frowned, said nothing, and sat in the back seat automatically.

No one spoke for the first fifty meters.

Le Ning is a quiet and undemanding person, so Xia An is a little nervous.

He noticed that the strawberries in the basket were washed and the calyxes were removed from the fruits.

"Did you pick it yourself?" Xia An took the initiative to speak.

"Ah."

Le Ning grabbed his clothes with one hand and held the edge of the back seat iron frame with the other.

"My grandma built two greenhouses and planted strawberries there. I secretly collected the big ones and ate some myself."

Xia An didn't take it and said, "Hold on to your waist, don't fall down."

Le Ning took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and slowly clasped them together.

He has abs.

This was Le Ning’s first touch.

"When will uncle and aunt come back?"

"Landing tonight at 8 o'clock."

"Do you want to go pick it up? If you have a lot of luggage, I can go with you."

"That's a deal, you pedal half and I pedal half. It's too far from here to the airport."

Le Ning sneered.

……

Royal Dynasty Hotel.

Xia An sneered at the name.

In this era, people like to make their business sound big and high-end.

Be ostentatious.

Then it sinks down little by little, making it small and beautiful.

The names are small, such as small animals, small fruits, etc.

For example, his ninety-one hotel chain is called: Pomelo.

Fresh and nice.

Resisting the urge to hand the bicycle key to the doorman, Xia An and Le Ning walked into the gate together.
-
Families that are more particular will calculate the time when holding graduation banquets for their children.

After twelve years of study, it’s time to think about my career and future.

The Chi family prayed for a smooth life for their son who was admitted to Renmin University.

As for small matters like wealth, fame, fortune and official position, fortune tellers always say: No problem.

Just start strictly according to the time.

The time is 10:08 am.

Not a second can be lost.

But the protagonist didn’t come, so Chi Ao refused to do it.

There was an argument with my father in the corner.

Father Chi smiled faintly: "Don't force me to slap you today."

"I have a classmate who hasn't arrived yet. Can't I wait for a few minutes?"

"Who's not here? Aren't there already two tables?"

Father Chi pointed to the two tables of young people closest to the entrance of the banquet hall and said:

"You are the protagonist today. Please greet your classmates after you finish speaking on stage. If you miss the opportunity, your future will be ruined."

The protagonist Chi Ao had the courage to contradict his father for the first time, and said with his neck stiffened:

"I do not…"

"You don't, your mother, you don't!"

Father Chi raised his hand with a frown on his face.

Chi Ao's neck shrank back again.

But he had already made up his mind that when he went on stage to speak, he would confess his love to Le Ning in public.

She's not here, what can I say?

future?
Love is the most important.

Finally, the father and son reached a conclusion.

The meeting starts with parents speaking first.

After everyone was present, Chi Ao took the stage to give a speech.

"Get lost and go memorize the manuscript."

……

The family conditions of students in art classes are generally not too bad.

But no one’s graduation banquet is so extravagant.

Not to mention the Longmen Arch Bridge outside the hotel.

The parking lot is full of BBA cars.

Sixty tables.

There were guests from the Education Commission, as well as from both the political and business circles.

The lights in the banquet hall were flashing, and the dishes were eight cold and eight hot.

There are quite a few fresh seafood.

The classmates had known that Chi Ao's family was rich, but they didn't expect them to be so rich.

Among the boys, those who were closer to Chi Ao took the initiative to brag about how cool Chi Ao was in school.

"You have an air of nobility and tenacity, so it makes sense for you to be admitted to Yanjing."

"Yes, Liu Xiaohua and I are also in Yanjing. When the time comes, you all will come and Chi Ao and I will entertain you."

The girls whispered.

"I heard that Chi Ao's father is going to give him a car today?"

"There's a Volkswagen sports car with a bow tie downstairs. I saw it when I came here."

"That's a Golf, not a sports car."

"That's good. My parents bought me an Apple laptop."

"My boyfriend gave me a box of condoms and I recommend you try it too."

Children who study art are generally more mature.

Know more about things outside of academics.

There are more considerations.

"Yes, it's a Golf. I plan to take Lening for a spin in it today."

No one noticed when Chi Ao came over.

Hearing this, the students were stunned.

A boy slapped his thigh and shouted, "Fuck, you're not going to take her down today, are you?"

Chi Ao opened a Zhonghua cigarette and threw it on the table for everyone to help themselves.

She patted the boy next to her on the shoulder, picked up his water cup and took two big gulps of ice cola.

"Yes, I'm going to confess my feelings to her in public, super loudly."

Stimulate!

Young boys and girls in their prime joined in the fun.

Chi Ao stroked the tie on his chest and said with a smile, "When the time comes, you guys will cheer for me!"

——Must!

At this time, a girl named Niu Fangfang snorted and said:

"What's the matter, rich man Chi? You dare to confess your feelings after graduation. What did you do in the past three years? Were you afraid that Xia An would beat you up?"

Some people laughed, some people helped to speak.

Chi Ao's face fell, and he rolled his eyes. "I'm afraid of him? Look, he promised me before, but he didn't dare to come today! Niu Fangfang, where is Le Ning?"

"What a coincidence."

Niu Fangfang, with her frizzy hair styled with tinfoil curls, shook her phone.

"She just told me that she was going upstairs with Xia An."

——Go upstairs?
——Which floor are you going up?

—Did they get a room? I'm late.

Niu Fangfang spat at the boys and cursed:
"Can you guys be any more disgusting? We're in the elevator, we'll be there soon!"

……

Xia An and Le Ning were two minutes late.

This was mainly because in the first few dozen meters, Xia An didn't find the feeling of riding a bicycle.

Unfamiliarity will affect efficiency.

When the waiter pushed open the door for the two of them to come in, Chi Ao's mother was standing on the stage reading a script in a thick northeastern accent.

It was pitch black, with only the spotlights and follow lights on the stage.

The smell of cheap incense, damp carpet, and food hit me in the face.

Xia An, half a strawberry in her mouth, groped in the darkness as she spotted the two tables near the entrance occupied by her classmates. In fact, everyone else had seen them earlier, and the previously lively atmosphere faltered.

There's nothing you can do about it, that's just the nature of these two people.

One is unruly and the other is cold and icy, both of them have very bad interpersonal relationships.

Xia An studies painting. His family background is not very good, but he is handsome and usually silent. In fact, he is quite popular in school.

But this guy has a bad temper and loves to fight.

He is very vicious in beating people, and pencils, brushes, paints and palettes can all be used as weapons.

I am not interested in women, but I have a little school beauty around me.

Or maybe it's because he's surrounded by school beauties, so he can't get close to women.

Le Ning...Except Niu Fangfang, no one can talk to her for more than three sentences.

It is difficult for people whose painting style is too different from the general public to make friends.

Seeing the two of them walking side by side like a golden boy and a jade girl, not only Chi Ao, but many boys were depressed.

The full moon is in the sky, and no matter how bright the stars are, it is useless.

Le Ning is the only one who stands out in the class. Who says that only Chi Ao can like her?

We can't beat you, so why don't we fantasize secretly?

Chi Ao swallowed the bitter taste in his mouth and approached to greet him with a fake smile.

"You are welcome to come."

Le Ning said coldly, "Congratulations."

Xia An is an adult after all, and doesn't have the pretentious and silly personality he had as a child.

He nodded politely with a smile: "Thank you for treating us all to this feast."

Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Chi Ao just nodded and ignored him.

He walked over and extended his hand to Le Ning: "Come on, why are you taking food out? Strawberries? They're my favorite..."

Le Ning was already sitting next to Niu Fangfang, putting the strawberry in the middle and said:
"I picked this for Xia An. The gift for you is in my pocket."

"..."

Chi Ao wanted to cry.

Xia An smacked his lips and patted him with a smile.

"If you like it, I'll ask the waiter to bring a plate?"

As she was speaking, Le Ning was forced between her and the boy Wu Jin on her left.

Wu Jin had a face full of pockmarks. When he came earlier, he saw Niu Fangfang standing next to him, and he guessed that Le Ning would definitely sit here after she arrived.

Been looking forward to it for a long time.

Who would have thought that this would be my last chance when we were about to be separated by thousands of miles, and I would not have the chance to get close to the white moonlight in my heart.

Xia An! The hatred of having your wife stolen from you is unbearable...

"Little Fatty," Xia An poked Wu Jin.

The latter immediately shuddered, leaned over and smiled, "Hey, what's wrong, Xia An?"

"What did you give Chi Ao?"

Xia An nodded at Chi Ao's back as he walked towards the stage.

Just like Christmas, New Year's Day, birthdays and other holidays, students invited to the graduation banquet will give the host a small gift.

They are just small items like greeting cards, picture books, crystal balls, and music boxes.

But Xia An completely forgot about this and felt that giving a red envelope of 200 yuan was not the right thing to do.

Yes, he is rich again.

When I said goodbye to Tang Wan yesterday, she forced a handful of cash on me.

878 yuan, including both zeros and whole numbers.

When Tang Wan heard that Xia An had no money at the hotel, she kept thinking about him and only gave him all the money in her wallet at the end.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jin hurriedly took off his backpack from the chair and took out a greeting card.

"Nothing new."

Xia An glanced at it.

Inside the page reads:

——I wish you a bright future and a long journey to Pengcheng
——Your good friend, Wu Jin
It feels numb and rough, and the painting on it is a mess.

Wu Jin scratched his head and said that he had drawn this by himself.

"That's quite an idea." Xia An's eyes lit up. "Do you mind if we send them together?"

"?"

Wu Jin didn't understand, but saw Xia An take a water-based pen from the table.

The three words "He Xia'an" were added after Wu Jin's name.

And then changed "城" back to "程".

Then he explained to Wu Jin frankly that he did not intend to correct the other party's typos.

"In this case, eight words count as my participation of one-eighth, right?"

Xia An asked, and Wu Jin gritted his teeth and nodded.

The people around him were already laughing like crazy.

Even Le Ning, who was always cold in public, curled the corners of her mouth.

Everyone should eat and drink.

No one mentioned Chi Ao’s confession.

Most people don't want to cause trouble, but they want to watch the show.

Including Niu Fangfang.

Isn’t she Le Ning’s friend?

No, at least neither of them thinks so.

Niu Fangfang is a straightforward person who speaks up for justice.

She admired Le Ning's pride and never treated Le Ning badly for relying on her good looks to ignore people.

That's it.

Niu Fangfang asked Le Ning, "I heard you two are going to the same university again? What's going on? Are you no longer tied to him?"

Le Ning just nodded.

Niu Fangfang: "You are so useless that you can't even let go of someone who doesn't love you?"

Le Ning moved the bag of strawberries to Xia An's side.

Then he retorted to Niu Fangfang: "It's even harder to meet someone worth loving, so why should you let go?"

Niu Fangfang pouted and shrugged, "Maybe, we're all the same."

Le Ning didn't understand what he meant.

Niu Fangfang gnawed on a crab leg and glanced at the stage, "Let's watch the show."

On the stage, Chi's father, a short, fat, typical rich man, was talking.

Chi Ao stood at the edge of the stage waiting for the announcement.

Xia An heard the conversation between Le Ning and Niu Fangfang.

Nothing much to say.

He knew Le Ning too well, and this was what she could say.

Recalling memories of engagements, marriages, and divorces within the past six months of 2019...

no.

Chi's father's loud laughter interrupted Xia An's thoughts.

"Today is a great day for my Chi family, a humble family, to give birth to a noble son.

“I would like to thank all the friends and family for coming to witness this event, especially Mr. Zhang from Tang Group.

"I have been a poor peasant for three generations. If it weren't for the support from you and your company, I, Chi, would not have achieved the glory I have today.

"Come, son, say a few words to everyone, you are the protagonist.

"Dad will give you your favorite car as a reward today to celebrate your... failure to get admitted..."

Chi Ao grabbed the microphone and said, "What my dad wants to say is that it's on the list."

The first sentence he said was with a smile, and it successfully made everyone laugh.

Like Chi Ao and Le Ning, they are both members of the Municipal Youth Palace Wind Orchestra.

I often go on stage and I don’t get stage fright.

In a few words, I thanked everyone, thanked my parents, thanked the school and teachers.

After he finished his polite remarks, he immediately changed the subject.

Chi Ao suddenly turned 45 degrees to the left and pointed to the back row.

"My dad said he would give me a car as a coming-of-age gift and a promotion gift, but for me, the best and most desired gift for the rest of my life is actually you."

The guests were confused.

Chi Ao's parents were very confused. This was not going to happen.

The students were so excited.

Xia An was so excited that she even wanted a handful of melon seeds.

It was strange that it took him less than half a second to react to what Chi Ao was going to do.

He looked at Le Ning, and Le Ning was also looking at him. They looked at each other, Xia An smiled secretly, and Le Ning bit her lip and gave him a look.

I have to say, Xia An admires Chi Ao's courage.

Most likely they were about to be separated and were anxious, otherwise it would be difficult for them to make up their minds to do this in such an inappropriate occasion.

God have mercy on me, Chi Ao will definitely get into trouble.

Sure enough, after Chi Ao said on the stage: "It's you, Le Ning, be my girlfriend."

The spotlight moved over quickly.

It completely covered Wu Jin, Xia An, Le Ning and Niu Fangfang.

Thousands of eyes turned towards me.

Wu Jin was very reserved.

Xia An smiled and waved at everyone.

Le Ning didn't move at all.

Niu Fangfang shook her purple drapes.

As long as you have eyes, you can tell at a glance who is Le Ning among the four people.

One second, two seconds...

Logically speaking, if the elders had some tact, they should have gone up and interrupted by using the microphone.

But Chi Ao’s parents were thinking, forget it, we’re already being forced into this.

With so many prominent figures in the market coming, they dare not lose face.

They believed that with their own strength and their son's wisdom, he would not do anything without confidence.

The two of them dared to express their love to the girl in public. They must have discussed it and did it to attract attention.

However, Chi Ao's wisdom is obviously not as good as his parents'.

He said it again: "Le Ning, be my girlfriend."

At this time, the hotel concierge who knew a lot about football had already handed Mike over.

Le Ning had no choice but to sigh and stand up.

"Chi Ao, you are a very good boy, but I believe you deserve to be loved by a better girl."

"No!"

Chi Ao yelled and raised his voice.

"I only want you. I know you're ambitious.

"Don't worry, I will definitely learn music well through my own efforts, grasp my future, and earn enough money to buy you a big house and a luxury car..."

It's a bit disgusting. Adults and children alike all have this thought.

Mine? It's like playing house.

Before Chi Ao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Le Ning.

“When a person is not greedy, he will receive gifts; when he is full of expectations, he will lose something.

“When you ask questions with answers, you will only disappoint yourself.

"Chiao, I am a girl who doesn't want your house or car.

"I don't want you either."

Amidst the rustling laughter, Xia An gave Le Ning a thumbs up.

He has positive values but a bad temper.

At the age of 32, he said: You can’t wait for Zuo You anymore, and I’m old enough. I don’t need you to date me anymore, just marry me.

So she married him.

She doesn't chase any waves or take any boat. She has her own sea and is just her own ferryman.
