"It's only been a few days, and I'm back here again."
As soon as the plane landed, seeing the familiar place, Qiu Xi couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you looking at? I'm here." Nan Hua, who was not far away, saw the person who had just come out and walked over.
"No, just sighing."
"Alright, stop sighing, let's go." This is hardly a place to sigh with all these people coming and going!
As she spoke, Nan Hua took the suitcase from Qiu Xi's hand and led her out with her other hand.
"I'll take you home first. After you've rested, we can go out again."
Before leaving, the old man had said it repeatedly: take the person home first, don't tire her out by taking her out...
For this reason, Nan Hua, although very speechless, was also helpless...
So now, she had no choice but to obediently take her home first.
Qiu Xi, on the other hand, withdrew her wandering gaze and looked at the person beside her, smiling sweetly, "Okay~"
Not long after, at the Nan family's residence.
"Xiao Xi~"
"You're finally here!"
From a distance, Grandpa Nan rushed to the door, took Qiu Xi's hand, and started nagging.
"Old Du told me everything. You just stay here with peace of mind. I'll tell this kid to pick you up and drop you off every day!"
Nan Hua glanced at her grandfather helplessly, "...".
This was something she was willing to do herself, but in her grandfather's mouth, it became her own credit?
Grandpa Nan: I'm willing!
No matter what Nan Hua thought, she was now destined to do all the hard work.
Her girlfriend had been taken away by her grandfather and mother, and even her usually taciturn father had followed.
What exactly was the matter?
That would have to be asked of the few people over there.
Not long after, Nan Hua, who had been sitting aside for a long time, couldn't get a word in.
Throughout the entire process, her mother and grandfather spoke the most. Even her father, sitting there, snatched the task of serving tea and water from her.
Fortunately, the people outside didn't know, otherwise Chairman Nan's image might have continued to shatter.
"Alright, dear, go and rest. Remember to come down for dinner after you've rested~"
After chatting with the young lady for a long time, they finally let her go.
Qiu Xi was also a little helpless. She hadn't even managed to say "Happy New Year" since entering the door, and they had been chatting until now.
"Grandpa Nan, Uncle and Aunt, I'll go up first."
With no other choice, Qiu Xi gave Nan Hua a meaningful look.
Nan Hua immediately got up, grabbed the suitcase, and they went upstairs together.
"Phew~"
"Why didn't you hold me back then? We would have been up by now." Qiu Xi, who was lying on the table, was a little tired.
Nan Hua followed in, put down the suitcase, and waved her hands, "Look at me, what could I do?"
She was also very helpless...
"I should have brought you back later..."
If it weren't for fearing she would be tired, Nan Hua might have done that before.
"Alright, enough said, let's lie down for a bit first."
Seeing the girl raise her hand, Nan Hua pulled her up.
Then, the two of them lay flat on the bed together.
"Take a nap. After you've rested, I'll take you out."
"Okay~"
On the way back, Qiu Xi had told Nan Hua that after arriving, they should first go and see Teacher Ding.
Since they had time in the afternoon, they planned to pack up, rest, and then go out.
...
In the afternoon.
"Xixi, do you have the address?"
When they were about to go out, Qiu Xi suddenly remembered that it was the holiday, and the teacher wouldn't be at school.
They had probably all gone back to their sons' homes for the New Year, so Qiu Xi asked Grandma Ge.
"Yes, yes, here's the address. Let's go."
Qiu Xi then forwarded the address Grandma Ge had given her to Nan Hua.
"Okay."
The next second, the car drove out.
A long time later.
"Xixi, according to the address, it should be here."
Qiu Xi also looked at her phone and nodded, "Mmm."
"I'll call Grandma Ge."
After the call, a moment later, Qiu Xi saw a familiar person.
"Brother Yi Bai, over here."
Qiu Xi waved to Ding Yi Bai, who had just appeared.
"You're here. You must be tired."
"Park the car, and I'll take you up."
"Okay~"
Then the two of them, carrying their belongings, followed Ding Yi Bai.
"Grandma Ge, Happy New Year~"
Before entering the door, Qiu Xi saw Ge Jiaojie at the entrance.
"Oh my!"
"You girl, Happy New Year!"
After saying that, seeing the things in the girl's hand, Ge Jiaojie immediately took them and handed them to her grandson beside her.
Her voice was also a little helpless, "Why did you bring so many things when you came to Grandma's house, really!"
"And you, Hua kid, come in quickly."
Ge Jiaojie looked at the two of them, her smile crinkling her face, her mood was exceptionally good.
"Mom, are they here?"
While they were chatting, a voice came from behind.
"Qing, this is the Qiu Xi I told you about."
"Xiao Xi is a smart girl, and she's also delicate and beautiful..."
As soon as Ge Jiaojie saw her daughter-in-law, she started to talk about her, her praise never stopping.
Jiang Qing was a little helpless, "Mom, can we talk about this later? Introduce us first."
Ge Jiaojie was startled and clapped her hands, "Right! Let's introduce them first."
"Xiao Xi, Hua kid, this is Yi Bai's mother, Jiang Qing. You can call her Aunt Jiang or Aunt Qing."
"And Yi Bai's father, Ding Xun, has just gone out to buy something and will probably be a while before you see him."
The two of them bowed their heads and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Qing looked at the girl in front of her, unable to hide her smile, "Hello to you too~"
"Come, quickly come and sit."
They had been standing at the entrance chatting just now, and it was quite crowded.
"Right! Hurry and come in~"
"Grandma Ge, where is Teacher Ding?"
Since she was just visiting, Qiu Xi, walking in and not seeing the person, asked casually.
"That old man is holed up in his study!"
"Yi Bai, go to the study and tell your grandfather that the news is here."
After watching him leave, Ge Jiaojie pulled Qiu Xi and continued to chat.
This time, Nan Hua was not just a background figure. She sat beside Qiu Xi and could even chat a few words from time to time.
When there was nothing to do, holding hands could also relieve boredom.
"Xiao Xi is here, why didn't you come into the study with Yi Bai!" Ding Yujing came out of the study and said as he looked at the people chatting happily.
"Hey!"
"You old man!"
"It's the New Year, and if you don't rest, our Xiao Xi is different from you."
Ding Yujing, "..."
He just said it casually.
This old lady started to scold him...
"Teacher Ding, Happy New Year~"
"Good, Happy New Year~"
As a result, Ding Yujing sat down.
Ding Yi Bai, who walked over later, looked and squeezed in.
And so, a group of people chatted quite livelily.
...
When Ding Xun returned, this was the scene at home.
His family, surrounding a young girl and a young man, were chatting happily.
When he walked in, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
"Mom, who is this?"
"What are you guys talking about? It's so lively."
Putting down the shopping bags, Ding Xun asked curiously.
"You're back, let me introduce you."
Seeing her son, Ge Jiaojie introduced him, "This is Qiu Xi, the Xiao Xi girl that your grandfather and I often mention!"
"And this is Nan Hua, the girl's boyfriend."
Qiu Xi and Nan Hua also stood up and greeted together, "Hello, Uncle Ding."
Ding Xun looked at them and started to smile, "Good~"
"Don't be so formal, relax, relax."
Knowing that this was the "celebrity" his parents often talked about, Ding Xun immediately changed his attitude.
This girl was no stranger to them. His mother mentioned her so often on the phone that he couldn't forget her even if he wanted to.
And just a while ago, they had gone out to play together.
Even now, the topic was still brought up from time to time.
Although it was a bit repetitive to listen to, he and his wife were still very grateful to this girl.
And their silly son, now having a girlfriend, they suspected it had something to do with this girl.
So, they were not only grateful but also fond of her.
"Just right, I also bought a lot of food. You guys chat first, we'll eat later!"
It wasn't necessary to buy anything for the New Year, but the ingredients at home ran out, so he went out.
Coincidentally, he also bought a lot of other things.
"Mom and Dad, you guys chat. I'll go and help tidy up."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
With that, the couple had already taken the things to the kitchen.
Qiu Xi sat on the side, unable to get a word in.
It seemed like this meal was unavoidable.
Finally, after exchanging a look with Nan Hua, they decided to just go with it and continued chatting.
