The Sweetest Thing In the World - Chapter 58

“Who is Xu Mai?” Jiang Hui didn’t react.

The porcelain spoon scooping up the stuffing collided with the edge of the bowl, making a crisp sound. Holding the spoon, Min Guangyang probed and asked, “Xu Mai, the deputy director of your department?”

Min Yue swallowed her saliva and nodded.

“Oh, it’s her.” Min Guangyang grinned, filled a spoonful of stuffing and rolled it into the dumpling wrapper, pinching the edges unskillfully.

Jiang Hui’s mind turned around. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Min Guangyang arbitrarily let Min Yue take away the box of expensive mooncakes, and the person he said he would give it to was Xu Mai.

With wide eyes, he asked, “Did you already know? You two have colluded, so just keep it from me, right?”

Min Guangyang pushed his glasses with the back of his hand, smiling bookishly. “I just found out too.”

“Who are you lying to?”

People who just knew would react like this? Jiang Hui didn’t believe a word of it, she couldn’t find anything in the interrogation of her husband, so she aimed her firepower at the honest daughter. “Tell me, what’s going on?”

Jiang Hui raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes, and with her hair permed, she looked like a domineering charter woman in the movie. Compared with the elegant and temperamental image just now, she was simply not the same person. Min Yue wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Holding back a smile and confessing his thoughts, he fell into soft emotions while talking.

Although she keeps shouting that she likes Xu Mai, but after calming down, she realizes that there are so many loves, so much that the whole heart can’t hold it, and it overflows.

“Mom, I really like Master.” Once he did something wrong, or begged for something, Min Yue would change the address from “Mom” to “Mom”, with a hint of coquettishness.

She didn’t realize it herself, but Jiang Hui could hear the difference after listening to her shouting for more than twenty years.

The girl who poured all her love into raising her, suddenly said one day that the person she liked the most was not her mother, but a stranger. Jiang Hui couldn’t accept it for a while, feeling a little sour in her heart, and asked, “How much do you like it?”

Min Yue thought she was going to beat the mandarin ducks, so she hurriedly said seriously: “I like it very much. After meeting Master, it is impossible to like anyone else in this life.”

“How old are you, and you know everything in this life?” Jiang Hui smiled, and from the corner of her eye, Min Guangyang was leisurely watching the sketch as if nothing to do with her, and said angrily, “Is this my daughter alone?” ? Can you please give me a break.”

Min Guangyang reluctantly looked away from the TV, and said casually: “I know Xu Mai, she is very good. A while ago, the TV station interviewed her, and I also watched that episode. She is capable, humble, and a very good child.” , and Yueyue’s master, he can help you in life and work. Isn’t that good, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“What program? Find it out and show it to me later.” Jiang Hui felt strange, as if everyone in the family were fascinated by Xu Mai except herself. What kind of big man is she, she needs to find out.

“I’ll look for it, but your internal medicine may not be able to understand the surgical stuff.” As he said this, Min Guangyang still patted the flour off his hands and took out his mobile phone to search online.

Min Yue’s eyes were shining with the brilliance of “Dad, you are great! Thank you, Dad!” Seeing someone supporting her, Min Yue gained confidence, sat next to Jiang Hui, and pinched her shoulders like a dog’s leg, half Amway and half showing off Said: “Mom, my master is very good, really! You will love her!”

Jiang Hui frowned: “What if I disagree?”

Min Yue paused: “Then…then I will secretly like her without telling you.”

Jiang Hui laughed angrily at her worthless look: “You like him so much, does he like you?”

Min Yue stammered guiltily: “No, I don’t know…”

“Oh, unrequited love.” Jiang Hui tilted her eyes at her, “That’s right, he is so good, how can he fall in love with you.”

Min Yue suffered 10,000 tons of damage, sobbed, drooped her eyelids, and retreated into the sofa melancholy, dejected.

My mother made up the knife: “Just give up.”

Min Yue said stubbornly: “No, I’m going to chase, I’m going to chase!”

“I can’t catch up? They are all in the same department. Is it embarrassing? Can colleagues still do it?”

Min Yue pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: “Then I have to chase.”

Min Guangyang heard something, and asked, “Have you already told her? Did she not agree?”

“Master ignored me…” Min Yue was so wronged that her face wrinkled together like a pug.

“Oh.” Min Guangyang thought for a while, “Maybe he thought more about it. After all, he works in the same department. If there is a breakup in the future, it will be difficult to get along with.”

There will be no breaking up, the master has long promised to be together for the rest of his life. But Master ignores me, does he really despise me?

In fact, I’m pretty good too, I can cook, warm the bed and have cats, Master, let me know, Min Yue thought crying.

The matter came to an end here, since Xu Mai didn’t agree, it would be superfluous to continue talking. The next day they had to go to work, and after making the dumplings, the two elders washed and rested first. Min Yue was not interested in the Spring Festival Gala, so she carried the cat back to her room.

Pulling up the curtains, turning on the bedside lamp, Min Yue was lying on her side and scrolling through Weibo. The big Vs and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea each showed their magical powers, and the jokes they wrote were more funny than cross talk sketches. Min Yue laughed happily, and sent screenshots to Shen Fei when she saw something interesting.

After a while, the phone dinged, indicating that there was a WeChat message. Min Yue clicked on it and sat up with excitement.

It’s Xu Mai!

【have you slept? 】

Min Yue replied immediately: [No, no, is Master finished? I have to be on duty on New Year’s Eve, Master has worked hard. 】

Xu Mai didn’t answer, but instead asked: [Is it convenient to answer the phone? 】

Xu Mai seldom took the initiative to call herself. Seeing what she said, Min Yue was a little worried that something had happened, so she hurriedly replied: [It’s convenient. 】

Soon, Xu Mai’s exclusive ringtone rang, and Min Yue nervously pressed the call button, put the receiver to her ear, and called softly: “Master.”

“Are you on vigil?” Xu Mai came over with a laughing voice, stroking the pinna gently like a feather, Min Yue blushed slowly.

There was a row of tassels hanging from the lampshade, and Min Yue stretched out her hand to fiddle with it, trying to overcome her shyness, and said calmly, “No, my parents are going to bed first, and I’m playing with my phone.”

He raised his eyes and looked at Pangpang. He had just arrived in a new environment, and he was very vigilant. He was nestling on the bay window, with his head tucked into the crack of the curtain, and he stared out the window to see if there were any dangerous people around.

Min Yue added: “Fatty is on vigil.”

Xu Mai laughed, his voice was as clear as white wine. Min Yue was intoxicated just listening to it, and then giggled, Master’s laughter is really nice.

The upstairs neighbor was watching the Spring Festival Gala, and the volume of the TV was turned on very loudly. Through the double-glazed glass, it could be heard faintly.

The host is broadcasting the countdown in a passionate tone:

“Dear viewers and friends, the New Year’s bell is about to ring, let us embrace the new and bright spring with a sunny and bright heart!”

“Now, let’s come together and count down!”

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”

“Happy New Year!”

The zero o’clock bell rang on time, deep and distant, as if knocking on the gate of the whole city, waking up thousands of households, opening their doors to welcome the blessing and auspiciousness of the new year.

The singing and dancing are joyful, the world is prosperous and peaceful, and the loved ones are all around. This is the best New Year.

Amidst the joyful singing and lively applause, she heard Xu Mai say, “Happy New Year.”

“Master, Happy New Year.” Min Yue smiled happily.

“Want to make a wish?”

“No need.” Min Yue shook her head slightly, she was already very happy now, her heart was full, and she had no more extravagant wishes.

Xu Mai continued: “Let me help you realize a wish as a New Year’s gift.”

“Um?”

“Have you read the red envelope?”

“Not yet.” Min Yue planned to open it after getting up in the morning on the first day of the new year, just to please her.

“Go and see.”

Hanging up the phone, Min Yue ran to the porch, took out the thickest one from the bag, put it in her arms, ran back to the bedroom, carefully opened it, and took out several stacks of papers, all printed on it. , The bedside lamp was dim, so I couldn’t see clearly.

Turn on the ceiling lamp, and the room is instantly bright. Min Yue squinted her eyes due to the glare, then opened her eyes, and she saw a ticket in her hand.

Tickets for the newly opened theme park outside the Fourth Ring Road! two!

Min Yue excitedly scrolled down. It was the color-printed map of the theme park, the brochure, and the travel tips shared by netizens on the travel website printed on A4 paper.

Continuing to scroll down, Min Yue saw a stacked note, which was a pink post-it note, which she had seen on Xu Mai’s desk.

The note was directly illuminated by the ceiling light, faintly revealing black writing. Open the half-folded note, revealing a hidden line of words—

[Go on a date with me. 】

Min Yue looked at the note, then at the ticket, oh oh! The extra ticket belongs to Master!

Min Yue froze over the date on the ticket, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, leaned closer, and read it again extremely carefully.

February 14th.

Eight days later, on Valentine’s Day.

Confused for a few seconds, Min Yue yelled out, Master invited me to a theme park date on Valentine’s Day!

Pangpang has gotten used to her surprises and yelling, so he glanced at her calmly and continued to look out the window.

Min Yue exploded into a firework, feeling like she was floating up, as if in a dream, with pink bubbles in front of her eyes.

Min Yue flung herself on the bed, pressed the ticket and the note under her body, thumped like swimming on flat ground, and a turbulent wave arose in her heart.

Master responded ah ah ah ah! !

She likes me too! !

happiness! joyous! I!
