After returning home, Sang Zhi put on her slippers and sat back in her original position.

Sang Rong and Liping were still in the living room, not talking much. One was watching TV and the other was reading a book. There was only the cheerful sound of the TV in the room, which was not much different from the atmosphere just now.

Li Ping looked up at her and asked casually: "You're back so soon?"

Sang Zhi took a cherry tomato from the fruit bowl and stuffed it into her mouth. She reached out and took off her coat and said, "Send it to the gate of the community. Brother Jia Xu will let me come back."

Liping nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Sang Zhi bit the fruit and rolled her eyes around Sang Rong and Liping. She felt that Duan Jiaxu performed quite well, so she asked cautiously: "Mom and Dad, what do you think?"

Liping's eyes returned to the TV: "What is it like?"

"It's been years since we last met," Sang Zhi whispered. "Now that we have met, we have talked about so many things. Have your attitudes changed?"

Sang Rong smiled and said, "Young man is quite nice."

Sang Zhi quickly agreed: "Yes, he is a very nice person."

"He is indeed very good. He is very good in all aspects. Even though we didn't meet him a few times when we were in college, I feel that he will definitely have a future." Sang Rong's eyes were still on the book, and his voice sounded

Very kindly, "It must be uncomfortable for a person to come here alone after so many years."

Sang Zhi paused and pursed his lower lip.

Sang Rong didn't mention it further, but suddenly changed the topic and laughed: "I heard your mother say before that when you first met Duan Jiaxu, you were not ashamed to cry in front of others."

Li Ping also laughed: "I was crying because I thought I was doing something, but I ended up making trouble with Ayan."

When they mentioned it like this, Sang Zhi also felt embarrassed: "Then I'm not young, am I?"

"I've been thinking about things from the past lately. When you were a child, you were not in good health." Sang Rong put down the book in his hand, as if reminiscing, "At that time, I was either allergic or had a fever.

Your mother went to the hospital every day and saw that you were crying all the time, and in the end you didn’t even have the energy to cry."

Liping also turned off the TV.

"We feel uncomfortable watching it, but there is no other way. Your brother was young at that time and didn't welcome your presence. I feel that after we have you, we won't care about him much." Sang Rong said.

He smiled and said, "I also wrote in my weekly diary that I would rather have a dog at home than this sister."

Sang Zhi felt unhappy for a moment.

Before she could say anything, Sang Rong said again: "But when you were in the hospital, he couldn't see you, and he came to us to look for you every day. He lied to him that he had thrown you away, and even made him cry on the spot."

"..." Sang Zhi licked her lips, "Why do you say this all of a sudden?"

"It's quite interesting when I think about it. It feels like it just happened yesterday." Sang Rong said, "As a result, you and your brother are about to get married now."

Sang Zhi said in embarrassment: "I'm still early."

Sang Rong sighed softly: "It's just that dad is not an authoritarian person. He doesn't have the idea of ​​being superior to others just because our family's conditions are not bad. It doesn't mean that he thinks no one is worthy of my daughter.

No matter who wants to be with you, I will definitely find something wrong with them."

"..."

"It's not that we just can't endure hardship." Sang Rong said, "It's just that we are not willing to let you endure hardship at all. I am afraid that you will have a bad life in the future. I have this worry all the time."

There was a lump in Sang Zhi's throat.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I have the same thoughts as all the fathers in the world." Sang Rong said, "I hope that my children will have a smooth life and live a safe and happy life."

Sang Zhi said softly: "I know."

"I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I was afraid that if you found out later, you would be unhappy and blame us." Sang Rong took off his glasses and murmured, "Today, dad said something to Jia Xu."

"..." Sang Zhi was stunned and opened his lips subconsciously.

"I mentioned to him all the things that I am concerned about now and what I think should be said. Maybe these words will hurt him to a certain extent. But he should also seriously consider your future because of this.

." Sang Rong said, "You may think it's just a relationship and you don't need to think about it so much for the time being. But if it's not suitable, dad thinks-"

"..."

"It's better for you to end it as soon as possible."

As soon as he said this, the room fell into silence.

Sang Zhi suddenly understood what they meant.

Perhaps because they were worried about her emotions, they never said it clearly. They just said they disapproved, but they would not stop it. But what they really hoped for was probably that she and Duan Jiaxu could end it.

After a while.

Sang Zhi said: "I just can't endure hardship at all."

"..."

"I feel unhappy when someone scolds me, and I don't feel happy when I can't eat what I want. Only when I have no choice will I do something I don't like but must do." Sang Zhi said.

The voice was very soft, "So, it's because I'm very happy to be with him and I don't feel hard at all, so I keep saying these things in front of you."

Li Ping touched her head and said nothing.

"I'm still in college. I don't mean to fall in love and get married right away." Sang Zhi said, "There is still so much time, and I can often bring him back to show you so that you can understand what kind of person he is.

.”

Sang Rong looked at her and hummed seriously.

"I'm not asking you to accept him immediately and like him immediately." Sang Zhi breathed out, "I just want you not to care too much about his family affairs, because this is not a choice he can make."

"..."

"In other respects, it doesn't matter what opinions you have." Sang Zhi said, "As long as you are fair to him."

The conversation between the three was interrupted by Sang Yan's arrival.

Sang Zhi felt a little depressed and returned to the room. She sat on the bed, dazed, thinking about Duan Jiaxu's reaction just now. Her thoughts were chaotic and she was thinking about a lot of things.

After a while, Sang Zhi sniffed and called Duan Jiaxu.

The other end immediately picked up the answer, and his tone was the same as usual: "What's wrong?"

Sang Zhi picked up the pillow on the bed and stuffed it into her arms. She lowered her eyes and stared at a point in the void. She didn't know what to say and didn't say a word.

"Why don't you speak?" Duan Jiaxu's voice was casual, "Did you press it accidentally?"

Only then did Sang Zhi say: "No."

Duan Jiaxu didn't ask any more questions. He chuckled and mentioned other things: "You earn a lot as a tutor, and this red envelope is like a brick."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"I'll give you one next time," Duan Jiaxu said carelessly, "I didn't pay attention and forgot that we can still receive red envelopes at our age."

Sang Zhi was not in the mood to joke with him. Hearing his tone, she felt even more confused. She didn't hesitate anymore and asked, "Did my dad say anything to you today?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Soon, Duan Jiaxu said: "It's really nothing."

"My father told me all." Sang Zhi didn't know exactly what Sang Rong said, so he only managed to say, "Don't be unhappy."

"What are you thinking about? Why are you not happy?" Duan Jiaxu said, "I really didn't say anything bad. Your parents are very nice. They just raised some concerns with me."

Sang Zhi asked in a low voice: "Then what did they say?"

"It seems that you think I'm too old and it would be embarrassing for you to take me out."

"..." Sang Zhi frowned, "Can you be more serious? I'm asking you very seriously."

"The uncle and aunt talked to me so much all night," Duan Jiaxu laughed, "I don't know what you are asking about, right?"

This was obviously not what he intended to say.

He didn't want to say it, and Sang Zhi stopped asking.

Her mood was a little low, and she said incoherently: "Anyway, don't be unhappy. My parents mainly treat me as a child, and are afraid that I will meet bad people, just like my brother... I need to replace them

If you don't know me, they'll probably say more. And what they say doesn't represent what I think."

Duan Jiaxu: "Yeah."

"Also, no matter what others say about your father, it really has nothing to do with you at all. Don't worry about it." Sang Zhi doesn't know how to comfort others, so he can only say what he wants to say, "I

I will talk to them again..."

"I know." Duan Jiaxu said, "Don't mention it to them. It's rare to take a vacation and get along with your parents. Don't let this affect your mood."

"..."

"Don't worry," Duan Jiaxu's voice became very soft, like a whisper, "I'll think about it again."

Sang Zhi was stunned, and just when she was about to ask him what he was thinking about, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Sang Yan's voice came: "Mom made soup and asked you to go out and drink it."

She raised her eyes and subconsciously responded: "Okay."

Duan Jiaxu obviously heard it too: "Go and drink, don't let them wait."

Sang Zhi was silent for a moment, not knowing how to ask what happened just now, so she just said oh and repeated: "Then don't be unhappy."

A long time had passed since Sang Zhi finished drinking the soup and came back from washing up. She took out her phone again and opened WeChat. After hesitating for a long time, she entered the sentence in the chat window with Duan Jiaxu: [You just said to think about it.
