Why is the Bright Moon Shining? - Chapter 59

The balcony was bright at noon. A few wisps of clouds piled up in the sky with a silky sheen, and the decorated Christmas tree of the neighbor downstairs hung with bells, making a crisp and pleasant sound in the cold wind.

Thinking of returning to China soon, Xu Can felt like he was being held by an invisible thread. He was calm on the surface, but he was a little nervous inside.

I want to see my parents!

Xu Can asked her how she told her family.

Tong Mingyue: “It’s normal.”

Xu Can: “…”

“What’s the matter,” Tong Mingyue saw that her expression was still a little slack, she came over and put her arms around her waist, and said very tolerantly, “Or go back and play for a while, and don’t see them again.”

Xu Can grimaced: “How can you not see it! How rude!”

She buried her face in her shoulders, remained silent for a moment, hugged her waist tightly, and said softly, “…I’m so nervous.”

Tong Mingyue laughed softly.

His face was close to hers, keeping a distance where he could kiss at any time: “There’s no need to be nervous.” With a smile, he said seriously, “Whoever will like you.”

Xu Can laughed: “What kind of glasses are you…”

—

Tong Mingyue was only one to five and ten, and told her family in a very ordinary way.

I wanted to explain it briefly, but on the over-the-sea phone where Zhang Guangyao broke the casserole and asked the question to the end, he carefully explained what kind of person the little girl was going to bring home.

How she will spend the rest of her long life with her.

—

Xu Can has been working on ideological construction for so long, and he was still nervous when he came to visit.

In the elevator, she pursed her lips and was a little serious in a daze.

Tong Mingyue looked at Xu Can in the reflection of the elevator mirror, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

She didn’t turn her face, just raised her hand and waved it in front of her, “Go back to your senses, open the door to Sesame.”

The next second, the elevator door opened.

Xu Can was still nervous, but she was teasing her into a crooked smile.

How can this person speak cute things…

And also dirt.

Tong Mingyue went to hold her hand, and said warmly as she walked out of the elevator, “It’s just a meal, don’t be nervous. I’m right by the side.”

Smell the familiar scent on her body.

Xu Can curled his lips and said “um” lightly.

As soon as the doorbell was pressed, it quickly rang.

With a polite smile on her face, Mrs. Zhang opened the door and looked at Xu Can. She glanced back and there was no one else.

I noticed that they were holding hands.

Her smile froze slightly, as if she didn’t respond.

“Come in… come in.”

Second time here. Not only Xu Can has a completely different mentality.

Professor Tong Lao did not wear the apron of the robot cat this time. He dressed very seriously, turned off the fire, and came out of the kitchen to take a look.

It was also a little lost, looking at his wife, and at Tong Mingyue: “This is…”

“Xu Can,” Tong Mingyue said lightly as she held her hand, “She came before. Forgot?”

“How could you forget, such a beautiful little girl.” Mrs. Zhang looked her up and down and said with a smile, “Did she still grow taller?”

The last time was very enthusiastic and ordinary.

This time the atmosphere is completely different, with some surprises. Of course also very polite.

Take her into the living room, serve tea and turn on the TV. Then he pulled Tong Mingyue into the kitchen without a trace.

“…”

Xu Can sat on the sofa alone, the sound of the TV blocked most of the voices coming from the kitchen.

But she pricked up her ears, and still listened to the following:

“You said that the object was a little girl, but you didn’t say that it was your own student!”

“What, not your own student?”

“That’s fine…”

“It’s okay? You didn’t force people, did you??”

Xu Can’s eyes reflected the picture on the TV, frame by frame, looking at her face earnestly. In fact, he pricked up his ears, stretched his neck, and almost stood up involuntarily.

“…”

She eavesdropped on it for a long time, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

Who… who forced whom? !

after a while. Just as Tong Mingyue came over, the old lady Zhang also came over behind her, and shouted softly, “Come, come to eat!”

Xu Can hurriedly responded and stood up.

She also wanted to go to the kitchen to help with serving dishes, but was grabbed by Mrs. Zhang: “Come here and sit.”

“Today there is chicken head rice, fried with shrimp, and Taihu Sanbai. I don’t know if the old man made the same thing as what you ate in your own home. I didn’t let the old man make spicy dishes…”

She reported the recipe, and Professor Tong Lao brought the dishes.

“Let’s see if the dishes are not appetizing this time.”

Before Xu Can spoke, Tong Mingyue brought the tableware and cup, and said, “Mom, sit over there yourself.”

The dining table is nearly square, with one side against the wall.

Only two people can sit on the same side. If Mrs. Zhang pulls Xu Can and sits like that, Tong Mingyue can only be separated from her.

The old lady Zhang paused, and looked up at her.

Tong Mingyue looked at her silently.

“…”

“Okay,” Zhang Guangyao reluctantly stood up, made way for her, and grumbled, “It’s a shame I didn’t get married.”

Tong Mingyue’s face did not change, and Shi Shiran sat beside Xu Can. Bring Xu Can’s cup over.

Pour out your drink.

Xu Can held the glass in both hands, and said softly, a little embarrassed, “I will pour it myself.”

“Well,” Tong Mingyue continued to put the drink bottle by her hand and said with a smile, “You are awesome.”

Xu Can: “…”

This is not meant to make you compliment!

at the dinner table.

They were basically cold-faced towards Tong Mingyue, but they were very kind and even caring towards Xu Can.

My daughter went to scourge such a tender little girl.

After the father and mother were complicated in every possible way, their attitude towards Xu Can was a bit like a guilty conscience.

“Do you eat this?”

“Oh, that dish didn’t cook very well today. It was only halfway through that I saw that the cooking wine was used up. I love it and cook it next time.”

Xu Can lowered his head and ate the vegetables, all kinds of cute and sweet.

Any dish is delicious, and of course I like all kinds of dishes. A little flattered.

Gradually eat a lot more than usual.

“…”

Tong Mingyue glanced at her, and suddenly reached out and took away Xu Can’s bowl: “Okay, let’s go play.”

He said casually, “She’s had enough of this.”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked with concern, “Are you full after eating this?”

Xu Can had a small appetite at night, but after nine o’clock it was easy to get hungry again.

Usually at home, Tong Mingyue is very indulgent to her, eat less first, eat later.

But now it’s not her own home, of course she thinks it’s good to eat ordinary meals.

Xu Can hesitated for half a second: “Um…um…full.”

Her hesitation was interpreted by Zhang Guangyao as not being full at all.

“Put down the bowl,” Mrs. Zhang was a little angry, and picked up her chopsticks and hit the back of Tong Mingyue’s hand, “Who are you… who are you qualified to accept other people’s bowls?”

Tong Mingyue: “…”

In fact, the beating was neither light nor heavy, but the sound of chopsticks hitting the back of the hand was loud.

Xu Can was startled and hurriedly held her hand.

Tong Mingyue’s skin was white and thin, and a red mark soon appeared on the back of her hand.

Seeing it, Xu Can frowned distressedly, and blurted out, “It’s up to her to decide whether I’m full or not…” The voice didn’t dare to be loud, but it was low, with some subconscious complaints.

Zhang Guangyao and Tong Jianjun were both stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other and didn’t speak. He shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face grew stronger.

“…

Tong Mingyue raised her lips and couldn’t help laughing out loud. She held her hand back and said, “Okay.”

After Xu Can reacted, his face burned a little.

—

After dinner, Tong Mingyue was called by his father to the study again.

After some serious questioning. Making sure that she did not have any behaviors that were immoral and corrupted the morality of teachers, Professor Tong Lao put on the old cloth cap again.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and turned out the work book: “Daughter, I know you are serious.”

“That little girl really likes you, her eyes are full, she can’t deceive anyone.”

“From the first time she came, to today… She can decide to follow this path with you at her age, not only because she likes it, but also as a firm and courageous little girl. You have to treat others well.”

Tong Mingyue: “I will.”

—

Zhang Guangyao dragged Xu Can and asked East and West for a long time, but at some point, he naturally changed his name to her daughter.

Xu Can was stunned for a few seconds, but his mouth and face showed no ambiguity at all, and he called his mother very cleverly.

“Hey, don’t you know, Huahua’s brother came to complain to me, saying that she was terribly difficult to serve, and she had the designer’s sketches changed a dozen times for your engagement ring.”

“I’m not very satisfied after finishing it. Finally, I practiced sketching for a few days and drew a good sketch.”

Xu Can blinked, and after realizing what she was saying, she only said “um”. My heart jumped up.

Order… an engagement ring? ?

Fortunately, Zhang Guangyao was very talkative, and she didn’t need to talk to her at first, and said ramble: “You are planning to go abroad to obtain a certificate, right? Do you want to change your nationality? Huahua said he would listen to your opinion.”

“…”

“Actually, it’s fine to change it or not. Which is better, I have no problem with the old man. I’ll listen to you.”

“When it’s done abroad, will there be another red envelope collection in China? You young people don’t seem to like to entertain us old people…”

“mom…”

As soon as Tong Mingyue came out of the study, she heard Zhang Guangyao pulling Xu Can and nagging as if she had said everything.

She interrupted helplessly: “What did you just say?”

“What did you say, let me ask you about your marriage plan,” Zhang Guangyao rolled his eyes and ignored her. He continued to hold Xu Can’s hand and said, “Have you booked a church? Or do you prefer other places.”

Xu Can: “…”

Xu Can: “I…I don’t know yet.”

“…”

Zhang Guangyao finally reacted, and looked at Tong Mingyue, who was sinking like water not far away, and was stunned.

Turning his head, he smiled shyly at Xu Can: “It’s okay, hehe, watch me talk nonsense for a long time…”

“It’s okay, just forget it.”

Xu Can’s throat moved slightly: “…”

Can this be forgotten.

Zhang Guangyao stood up and muttered softly:

“Are you still dawdling?”

“I’m a lot of age, so I’m delaying people. The little girl doesn’t blush. What kind of person…”

Tong Mingyue was not far away, and she could hear every word clearly: “…”

Zhang Guangyao brushed past her and went to the kitchen.

The ring box in Tong Mingyue’s coat pocket was hidden for most of the day. After dinner, she took her for a walk by the side of Boqin Lake, naturally and romantically asking for marriage.

Who knew her mother, in the blink of an eye, all of her mouths were finished in advance.

Tong Mingyue’s eyes flickered, she walked over, and decided to take advantage of the surprise before it completely disappeared. First asked softly: “Cancan, do you know?”

This is a bit off-putting.

Xu Can recovered from the daze just now, raised his face, and nodded again and again.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Tong Mingyue held her hand with a deep smile in her eyes.

“…”

The old lady was busy in the kitchen, and Professor Tong Lao was working in the study.

The balcony windows were open and the wind was blowing in.

Unknown bugs buzzed outside, and soon fell silent. The camphor branches below the building are lush and leafy, swaying with a little breeze, rustling, the wind stops, and the trees are silent.

Tong Mingyue was in this living room, and took out the ring box from her pocket.

The smile on her face was still as dignified and calm as always, her lips were raised, and her tone was deliberately controlled to be calm and unhurried.

But when he opened his mouth, it was rare to reveal a little nervousness.

“Chan Can…”

She thought about it for a while, but in the end she didn’t say anything complicated, she just said warmly, “I can’t wait for you to graduate.”

“Marry me sooner.”
