“Xu Jialu, I’m not afraid. I’m not the SU lanxu I used to be. I’m not afraid of anything! I’m the pillar of support for mom and dad. I can only take better care of them if I’m strong enough.”
Xu Jialu’s throat tightened silently. He knew that she would not easily show weakness, so he did not say much. He just hugged her arm tighter.
“Then I’m a little scared. Let me hug you.”
“What are you afraid of?” su lanxu was confused.
“I’m afraid that you won’t like me for the rest of your life. I’m afraid that I’ll be alone for the rest of my life. I’m afraid that you’ll run away with someone if I’m not careful. I’m afraid of many things.”
But it’s all related to you.
Su lanxu was speechless. She pushed him away. &Quot; Xu Jialu, be serious! &Quot;
Xu Jialu took a step back and steadied himself. There was a smile in his Phoenix eyes that was gentler than the setting sun. &Quot; I wasn’t serious before, but you still liked me. &Quot;
Su lanxu was speechless.
She rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
Xu Jialu followed behind her. &Quot; are you still driving when we get back? ”
“Open,” Su lanxu replied without hesitation, ” I suddenly feel that driving a big car is quite interesting. Is this car expensive? ”
Even if it wasn’t expensive, she would probably want to change to another one. Her parents would be more comfortable sitting in it.
“It’s not expensive,” Xu Jialu replied, ” if you want it, I can introduce you to some people. You can get a discount. &Quot;
Su lanxu nodded. &Quot; sure. &Quot;
By the time she got home, the sky was already dark. The lights were on, and su lanxu could smell the aroma of food the moment she entered.
Mrs. Su and the Auntie were serving the dishes, while Mr. Su was opening the wine. This was a very normal scene, but because of Mr. SU’s illness, it seemed to be very precious.
Su lanxu stood at the door and didn’t go in. She just watched them quietly.
Actually, as long as his parents were healthy and happy, even if they couldn’t be by his side every day, he was willing to do so.
Su Yu’s mother turned around and saw her. She waved at her. “You’re back. Go wash your hands and eat. Why are you standing there?”
Su lanxu regained her senses and nodded. &Quot; Oh, okay! &Quot;
He turned his head and said to Xu Jialu, ” let’s go wash our hands. &Quot;
When Xu Jialu and su lanxu came back from washing their hands, father su had already poured them some wine.
“Little Xu, you’ve worked hard today. Uncle will drink with you.”
“Dad, the doctor said you can’t drink.” Su lanxu frowned.
“One cup, just one cup.” He hadn’t touched any alcohol during the days he was hospitalized, and it was rare that he wanted to have a drink today.
“Not even one mouthful!” Su lanxu took his wine and left.
Father su frowned and looked at his wife in disappointment. &Quot; look at this … &Quot;
“Just listen to your daughter.” Su Yu’s mother tried to persuade him.
Xu Jialu poured a glass of water and handed it to him. &Quot; uncle, you drink tea and I drink wine. It’s the same. &Quot;
Seeing su lanxu’s firm attitude, father su could only compromise and sigh. &Quot; alright then, I’ll use tea in place of wine to thank you for your help these days. You’ve worked hard. &Quot;
Xu Jialu raised his glass and was more respectful in front of them than in front of his own parents. &Quot; uncle, you’re too kind. This is what I should do … &Quot;
Before he could finish, su lanxu stepped on his foot quietly.
Xu Jialu looked at her innocently. He did not say anything wrong.
Wasn’t it only right for him to give up for the girl he liked?
Father SU’s eyes wandered between the two of them, and he chuckled.”Let’s drink, let’s drink …”
During the meal, Xu Jialu and father su drank tea and wine, and they almost became brothers.
Mother su was worried about father SU’s health, so she helped him upstairs to rest.
Su lanxu looked at Xu Jialu’s Red face and misty eyes. She said worriedly, ” “Let’s go, I’ll send you back.”
Xu Jialu laid on the sofa. Although he had drunk too much, he was still conscious. He waved his hand.”No need, I’ll just get a designated driver.”
Su lanxu took his phone away. The moment the screen dimmed, she saw that the screensaver was a photo of her in her wedding dress today. A strange feeling crossed her heart.
“It will take time for the substitute driver to come. I would have sent you home if I had the time.”
Xu Jialu sat on the sofa without moving. &Quot; no, you’ve just overcome your psychological barrier. I’m worried about you driving back at night. &Quot;
“I’ll take a taxi back. It’s easier to get a taxi from your house.”
“That’s even more out of the question. There are so many perverts now, what if …”
Before he could finish, su lanxu had already pulled him up impatiently. &Quot; Xu Jialu, when did you become so wishy-washy? stop cursing me. &Quot;
Xu Jialu, who was 188 cm tall, was easily picked up by her and followed her out like a wronged big Golden Retriever.
Su lanxu reminded him to put on his seat belt when they got into the car.
Xu Jialu lowered his head and didn’t speak or move.
Su lanxu turned her body to help him unbuckle his seat belt. She could smell the alcohol on him when she lowered her head.
Xu Jialu suddenly looked up, and his lips brushed past her cheek.
Su lanxu’s breath caught in her throat. Her fingers loosened and the safety belt went back in.
Panic flashed in her almond-shaped eyes, and when she looked at him, she seemed to be questioning whether he did it on purpose.
Xu Jialu’s Phoenix eyes were clear as he looked at her pitifully. &Quot; susu, I’m not being fussy. I’m just worried about you … I’m worried about the girl I like … &Quot;
Su lanxu was speechless.
Did he drink or take the wrong medicine?
“Keep your tongue straight and speak properly.”
“Hmph,” he snorted. He turned his head away in a fit of pique and did not speak.
Su lanxu was speechless.
Forget it, there was no need to argue with a drunkard.
Su lanxu drove him back to the Xu family’s house and returned the car keys to him when she got out of the car. &Quot; go back and rest early. I’m leaving. &Quot;
When she turned around, she felt that her arm was held by someone. She turned around and met his slightly tipsy eyes. The deep love in his eyes was no longer suppressed, and it was so hot and straightforward.
“Xu …”
Just as she opened her mouth, Xu Jialu suddenly pulled her into his arms and said in a low and slow voice, ” susu, I like you. I really, really like you … &Quot;
Su lanxu was shocked and wanted to push him away in a hurry. However, the more she struggled, the tighter Xu Jialu hugged her. He wanted to break her bones.
“Are you still angry with me?”
He turned his head and pressed his lips to her ear, using the alcohol to say the words he had long wanted to say but did not have the courage to.
“I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have said that to you in the past. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you and even hit you … I’m sorry!”
Su Lan Xu’s slender body froze on the spot. Her thick eyelashes trembled violently. She looked at his side profile in disbelief.
He … Apologized!
He actually apologized to me!
Xu Jialu buried his head in her neck, like a big dog that made its owner angry, wagging its tail and begging for peace.
“Don’t be angry with me, okay? I won’t bully you anymore. Whatever little wolfdog or puppy you like, I’ll become whatever you like, okay?”
Su lanxu’s shocked emotions slowly calmed down. She looked at him under the bright moonlight, and only desolation and sorrow was left in her heart.
