Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 34 Visible Only to You
Xia An did not go home empty-handed.

He saw someone selling peaches on the street, so he bought a few and also picked out a few cantaloupes, all of which were seasonal fruits.

Xia Kangning didn't know what he liked to eat, he ate everything, but he remembered that his mother Wei Xiaofang loved peaches but didn't buy them often.

As far as I can remember, the most common food at home in the summer is watermelon because it is cheap.

When I entered the house, the food was already on the table. My parents hadn't eaten yet and were waiting for Xia An.

Seeing him coming back with things, Xia's mother who was serving food in the kitchen and Xia's father who was watching TV on the sofa were both stunned.

Wei Xiaofang teased him that he had become successful and knew to buy things for home.

"How much is it? Mom will reimburse you later."

Xia An took off his shoes and walked into the house, saying that he bought it because he wanted to eat it and there was no need to report it.

Wei Xiaofang handed the dishes and chopsticks to Xia Kangning, and nodded at her husband and son who were washing their hands in the bathroom.

Xia Kangning hummed, then lowered his voice and said, "You've become sensible."

Wei Xiaofang continued Xia An's words, "Okay, when you report, Mom will give you some extra living expenses."

Xia An said nothing.

While eating, Xia An noticed the news on TV that she shouldn't be paying attention to at her age.

China Central Television officially announced the launch of the "Green Advertising Logo".

Used to promote honest and healthy advertising content, and eliminate false advertising or advertising containing pornographic or violent content.

The first batch of commercials to be launched with the "Green Advertising Label" are those broadcasted simultaneously on CCTV-19 and the News Channel between 30:19 and 38:.

This includes 29 new advertisements involving 24 companies.

The green logo is a small, translucent green icon that will automatically disappear after staying in the upper right corner of each ad for five seconds.

Xia An's hand, which was picking up the food, paused for two seconds.

He had some impression of this matter.

From now on, "green advertising" will gradually be subject to comprehensive review on all channels and time periods of CCTV.

Advertising films that pass the "Green Advertising Label" certification will be issued a "Green Advertising Label" certification certificate by CCTV's Advertising Department.

This is a disruptive event for the entire advertising industry.

This means that the traditional, tacky, and simple brainwashing advertisements will be eliminated and replaced by innovative, meaningful, and compelling short films.

After thinking it over, Xia An continued to eat.

It's not a question of whether he wants to get involved or not.

The major he was admitted to was Journalism and Communication, which was a good fit for his major as he caught up with the advertising revolution.

He felt that his upcoming college life would be more fulfilling.

Is it too much money to make?
After dinner, Xia An washed some of the fruits she had bought and placed them on the coffee table.

He took a bite himself and told Xia Kangning that it was very sweet and asked him to try it.

Xia Kangning poured two cups of tea into a fake purple clay teapot and pushed one cup to his son.

"Don't eat fruit right after dinner. Come, have a cup of tea."

Xia An refused to drink, saying, "You can't drink tea right after a meal."

Xia Kangning glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, I've read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine."

Xia An said, "You should read less pirated books. It's bad for your health."

Wei Xiaofang, who had finished washing the dishes, sat over, took the peach and ate it directly, saying, "I believe my son."

The family sits leisurely and the lights are friendly.

When I was young, I always wanted to grow up quickly, leave home early, and escape the control of my parents.

But now Xia An hopes time can slow down.

Finish all the tasks without rushing, and then waste some days doing nothing.

Because for prospective college students, in another month, home will become their registered residence, temporary residence, or place of origin, to which they can only return twice a year.

Everyone will grow up, there is no need to wait.

Everyone will grow old, but parents will always grow old first.

……

After the news broadcast, the couple went out for a walk as usual. Xia An said she was going to the Internet cafe for a while, and followed them out.

I separated from my son at the street level, and we walked in a large circle along the sidewalk to help digest our food.

Xia Kangning stretched out his arms and plucked two half-green apricots from a roadside tree.

He wiped it on his clothes and gave one to his wife.

Wei Xiaofang took a bite, gritted her teeth and said it was sour.

"Didn't you like sour food before we got married?"

Xia Kangning put the whole thing into his mouth and said, "Crunch, crunch!" It was obvious that his teeth were fine.

Wei Xiaofang giggled and said that she liked sour food at that time, so she gave birth to a son for you. Now that she doesn’t like it anymore, she may give birth to a daughter.

Wei Xiaofang sighed, "Twenty years have already passed in a flash. It's gone by so fast."

Xia Kangning said: "It's really fast, my son has grown up so much."

Wei Xiaofang's tone immediately dropped and she said:

"You said, you were just a kid back then, how come you grew up so quickly?

"When I thought about my son going to live in another city next month and not being able to come back for half a year, I cried secretly several times."

Xia Kangning let out an "ah" and didn't know what to say.

Wei Xiaofang took her husband's arm and whispered, "Why don't we have another child soon?"

"Eh?!"

The turn was so fast that Xia Kangning almost couldn't react.

Old Xia pushed his glasses. "Next weekend, when Old Zhou comes back, he and Lin Jiajia will have dinner at our house. I'll ask him to bring back a puppy from the Dongshan Forest Farm for you to raise."

……

……

Xia An wanted to use the computer, but instead of going to the Internet cafe, he took a taxi to Tang Wan's rental house.

Tang Wan bought a new one and left the old one for him.

First, Xia An's major requires taking photos and editing pictures, so I originally wanted to give him a new one, but Xia An said it was unnecessary.

Second, the sports lottery is installed on this laptop. He needs to bet on the Men's Basketball World Championship on the 19th of next month. Grasshoppers are also meat. There are four clean things in the world: an old monk's bed, a young lady's room, an eight-immortal table, and a freshly painted wall.

That was in ancient times.

Nowadays, little girls generally only look good on the outside, but their houses are a mess.

Every time Xia An comes here, I have to help her clean up.

But he didn't come all day today, and Tang Xiaowan was looking through this and that before leaving home this morning...

Turning on the light, it was clear and messy at a glance.

The smell of Tang Wan is still there.

The bedding on the bed was unmade and tangled in a heap.

There was a literary magazine with a note in it next to the pillow.

She didn't like Xia An always saying that her Chinese literacy was poor and that she should cram on "Reader".

After reading it for a few days, I muttered that this crappy thing was too boring, so I just took Xia An's pillow and the illustrated version of Dream of the Red Chamber that I gave her and left.

On the coffee table, the open laptop screen showed a beautiful face with curved eyebrows and eyes when smiling.

That's right, it's Asuka.

Tang Wan likes watching "EVA" and likes Asuka.

Xia An felt that her personality was not like Asuka's, at least three times less free and easy.

He knew clearly that Tang Wan's carefree attitude was just an act.

After installing the GPS positioning software, Tang Wan's route was revealed.

After getting off the highway, we entered the city and stayed at the five-star Binhai Ocean Hotel.

No more movement.

Before they parted, Tang Wan shook the locator at Xia An, obviously telling him: I know you are worried about me.

Xia An sent a text message to Tang Wan:
Eat less seafood

After a minute, he sent another message:
Don’t drink beer when eating seafood

Tang Wan hadn't replied yet, so he sent:

Don’t drink alone

No reply, send again:
Don't go to the bar

Tang Wan called directly.

The answer is laughter.

"You are so possessive, bad boy!

"Do you miss me?
"Even if you miss me, you are not allowed to contact me too often, otherwise what's the point of breaking up?

"From now on, we're only allowed to send each other one... three... five text messages a day, no more than five."

Finally, Tang Wan said, "I will take good care of myself, don't worry about me."

After hanging up the phone, Xia An smiled.

Maybe Asuka is just pretending to be free and easy. Women all like to pretend to be free and easy.

Log in to QQ and open the space of the person thousands of miles away.

Xia An began her daily routine, indirect and tactful interactions with Xiao Youzi.

Not a fancy page.

Background music automatically plays: My Memories——Ryu
Korean drama "Winter Sonata" original soundtrack, pirated version.

Zuo You likes to watch Korean dramas and melodramatic dramas. His basic temperament is sunny on the outside but depressed on the inside.

I have a natural sympathy for sad dramas, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a stupid thing as "escaping" in the future.

There are rows and rows of pages in the space diary.

Each page is titled simply with the date.

This article was published two hours ago.

"Sunday"

"It's so hot in Yanjing, but it rained in the afternoon."

"We didn't have a rehearsal today. We went to the Forbidden City."

"The Forbidden City is so huge, and my dad's legs are so slow, so I didn't see the whole thing."

"If I have the chance to come again, I would like to take a closer look."

"Soaked, wet, and hot."

"My mother made dinner in the hotel rice cooker."

"Yeah, that's it for today. I'm fine."

……

Xia An clearly remembers the day he and Zuo You were together: December 2006, 12

It was Christmas Eve.

That was Xia An’s nineteenth confession after Zuo You made it to the top 16 in the Taoli Cup and returned to school on September 9th after waiting for the closing photo.

That night, he bought a hardcover apple, a bunch of golden lilies, and a Baleno scarf, and waited downstairs of Zuo You's dormitory under Le Ning's cold and indifferent gaze.

Zuo You took down a box of Dove chocolates and told him: Okay.

Then, holding hands, hugging, and kissing.

After going to the hotel for the first time, Xia An plucked up the courage to ask her why she suddenly agreed?
Zuo You shook her head and told him:
Not suddenly.

Very early, very early.

Those diaries are visible only to him.

……

"I originally planned to win the Taoli Cup and see if I could sign a contract with an entertainment company to make my parents' lives better.

“But I saw a lot of bad things and I didn’t want to go down that path anymore.

"I will continue to study at school, graduate normally and find a normal job.

"So, Xiao Xia'an, we must be together."
