In the car.

They were silent. No one spoke. The smoke in the car made Xia Yuxuan cough.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fang Cheng heard Xia Yuxuan coughing, opened the window, put out the cigarette butts and threw them out of the car.

"Get out of the car." Fang Cheng coughed gently.

"Yes." Xia Yuxuan answered.

They got out of the car one by one. Fang Cheng pressed the key to get off the car and said "beep!" The car locked with a sound.

"You... Won't you go?" Xia Yuxuan opened her mouth slightly, opened her eyes wide, and was a little surprised.

"I've come. I have to visit my uncle and aunt anyway," Fang Cheng said with a smile. "Why, you're not welcome? Don't you think I'm empty handed?"

"No... I mean..."

"What is it?" Fang Cheng asked with a smile.

"No, nothing." Xia Yuxuan lowered her head and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go," Fang Cheng took the lead and walked over, "what's the surprise?"

"Well, here we are." Xia Yuxuan trotted over in three or two steps.

Li Huilan saw her daughter come back from a long distance, but unlike usual, she was accompanied by a tall man in a suit.

"The child!" Li Huilan didn't know what was going on, frowned and scolded.

"Mom, I'm back." From a distance, Xia Yuxuan shouted to Li Huilan.

Fang Chengshun looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her. She was in her forties. There was a shadow of Xia Yuxuan in her eyebrows and eyes. Looking at her pale face and trembling figure, it was obvious that she was not in good health. A brown down jacket, Fang Cheng observed carefully and found that there was a darker patch on the hem of the down jacket.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng was a little surprised. In this era, the urban residents wore patches, which was obviously a habit formed by long-term poverty.

Li Huilan seemed to notice Fang Cheng's eyes and hurriedly blocked the hem of her clothes with her hand.

"You child, why don't you say hello in advance?" Li Huilan pulled Xia Yuxuan and whispered.

"Hello, aunt. I'm Fang Cheng." Fang Cheng quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is us..." Xia Yuxuan quickly interrupted.

"I'm Yuxuan's boyfriend." Fang Cheng didn't wait for her to say it, but interrupted her, completely ignoring Xia Yuxuan's surprised and inexplicable expression.

Li Huilan was at a loss. It was obvious that she was also an honest person at ordinary times. When she heard Fang Cheng say this, she was not ready and didn't know what to say.

Li Huilan was stunned for a long time.

"Fang Cheng, right? Come on, come in and sit down." She hastened to say hello.

"OK, aunt." Fang Cheng answered with a smile.

Several people walked into the house with greetings. Fang Cheng looked around at the layout of the house and said that Xia Yuxuan's family was a little exaggerated, but in fact it was almost the same. There is not even a bigger electric appliance in the house. The only color TV is the big man who raised his butt more than ten or twenty years ago.

There is no air conditioning in the living room, only a ceiling fan, and there are several holes in the sofa. These things look old. It is estimated that Xia Yuxuan's parents bought them when they got married. Li Huilan saw Fang Cheng staring at the sofa and quickly picked up a dress to cover the hole in the sofa.

"Fang..."

"Fang Cheng." Fang Cheng quickly answered.

"Fang Cheng," Li Huilan apologized, "it's all Yuxuan's fault. Your aunt didn't prepare at all and didn't clean up at home."

"It's not Yuxuan's fault. It's me. I had to ask her to take me over. I thought I'm from Wucheng. I've sent them here. How can I come and have a look," said Fang Cheng, taking out a thick red envelope from his pocket. "Aunt, this is your lucky money for the new year."

"No, no, no, how can I ask for your lucky money?" Li Huilan saw the red envelope in Fang Cheng's hand and quickly waved her hand.

"Aunt, I came in a hurry this time and didn't buy anything. You can't let me come to the door empty handed. Others can't gossip when they know. What do you say?"

After all, Li Huilan accepted Fang Cheng's red envelope.

"Fang Cheng, are you from Wucheng?" Li Huilan was a little surprised.

"Yes, otherwise how can we say that it's a coincidence that Xia Yuxuan and I have a company and happen to be home in a city." Then Fang Cheng smiled.

"It's a coincidence."

"Fang Cheng, there is no tea at home, only boiled water." Xia Yuxuan then brought a cup of boiled water from the kitchen and Fang Cheng quickly picked it up.

"Fang Cheng, did you just say that you and Yuxuan work in the same company?"

"Yes, aunt, I work with her in the same company, not in the same department." Fang Cheng's answer made Xia Yuxuan inexplicably nervous. Fortunately, Li Huilan only asked one question and didn't continue to ask.

In half an hour.

"Fang Cheng, you eat here today and aunt goes shopping." Then Li Huilan stood up and went out, "Yuxuan, you talk to Fang Cheng at home."

"OK, mom." Xia Yuxuan answered.

"Aunt, don't buy too many dishes." Fang Cheng looked at Li Huilan and said loudly.

After seeing off Xia Yuxuan's mother, Xia Yuxuan and Fang became two people in the house, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

"Why? I haven't seen you so formal at ordinary times?" Fang Cheng looked at Xia Yuxuan fidgeting and pulled her to his lap with a smile.

"I don't know. I think my heart beats so fast."

Fang Cheng looked at Xia Yuxuan blushing like a ripe apple and laughed.

"By the way, why didn't you see uncle?" Fang Cheng asked curiously.

Hearing this, Xia Yuxuan, who was still shy, lost her smile and became pale bit by bit.

"What's the matter?" Fang Cheng has some doubts.

"My father died before I went to college." Xia Yuxuan's voice was very low, but Fang Cheng heard it.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little heavy.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter," Xia Yuxuan adjusted her mood and smiled reluctantly, "it's been a long time."

Hearing this, Fang Cheng was also silent. He found that he really didn't know Xia Yuxuan at all. He had a more call and wave mentality towards her. Maybe he didn't realize it, maybe he realized it, and he felt nothing.

Originally, who can respect a woman who can meet on that occasion? This is also the reason why Xia Yuxuan has always shown great inferiority in front of him.

Sometimes he is curious. What does Xia Yuxuan want to do? When it comes to money, she never asks herself for money. What's the name of the picture? She has always been a nameless woman behind her. Even if she knows she has a genuine girlfriend, even if many executives of the company know her relationship with her, Xia Yuxuan never shows anything and does what she should do at ordinary times.

Fang Cheng can't think of a reason.
