"...I don't know. Maybe not yet." After letting go of the lightly biting straw, Tang Xiaonan replied vaguely, then turned around and walked away a few steps, throwing some of the remaining milk tea into the roadside trash can.

When I walked back, the cramps and panic on my face had quietly retreated. My parents asked her to stay in the sea sand for one more day, saying that she would go home together today, and then she knew that she would definitely ask these questions again.

"Did Lin An find the restaurant the day before yesterday? This child is usually generous with money." Tang Hongxia asked again in a chattering tone, "His father is a cadre in Lingshui, right?"

"It's the deputy town... now it seems to be the mayor. He... has relatives at home doing business." I felt that there seemed to be something else in his mother's words, Tang Xiaonan couldn't help but argue, turned to see her mother's eyes, and she kept calm and supplemented, "He came to home to teach the piano before, and heard Ruan Ruan ask casually."

"Mayor, relatives do business." Tang Hongxia nodded slightly, "Lin An often takes leave when he goes to school. I heard from you and Ruan Ruan that he has always had good grades and good piano skills. Is he very popular in school?"

"Overall, at school, I don't seem to play with other classmates, and no one knows he can play the piano..." Tang Xiaonan's mouth curled slightly, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She felt that today was even more confused than Ruan Ruan. When she asked about this, she blurted out, as if she hadn't woken up from the song last night.

The more you talk about these questions and the more detailed you explain them, the more likely you are to be suspicious of your mother. Logically, at noon the day before yesterday, she just took the blame for Ruan Ruan and could explain it clearly to her family, but when she heard about it, she became at a loss.

"I thought Lin An was very popular in studying." After saying that, Tang Hongxia sighed in a dark voice. How could she not see any clues now, who is familiar with her daughter's personality?

The day before yesterday, I asked Xiaonan to go to the mall. First, the store was too busy and messy. Second, the eldest daughter was talking to her. When I thought about it later, I felt even more suspicious, especially the eldest daughter's reaction. This matter was stuck in the past, and Lan Ying had already jumped out to speak out and pursue the whole story. But that day, she took it lightly and even said a lot of things to Xiaonan.

The new store opened last night. After returning to the hotel, the couple discussed it for the middle of the night.

"Is the school going on summer vacation on the 10th?" Before Tang Xiaonan could answer, Tang Hongxia continued, "I didn't pass the last grading exam, and Teacher Xueyi was extremely anxious. However, the music room will have a short-term class during the summer vacation. I guess I won't be able to tutor you much at that time. Didn't you tell Lin An that he would come to his house to help when he has time on vacation..."

Tang Xiaonan held his palm tightly and loosened his lip, "...I called him and told him that I can practice by myself during the summer vacation."

"That's not what we mean." Tang Hongxia approached and looked carefully at her daughter who was much taller than her. Because her daughter was raised earlier than her peers, and her taller height did not make the couple worry less, especially her eldest daughter Lan Ying.

Seeing that Tang Xiaonan seemed to be confused, she took her daughter's hand and patted her earnestly. "Okay, why are you angry? Your father and I are not that feudal, and we won't just listen to the wind and rain. We will go to Yanjing for the second half of the year to take the grade exam. Not even Teacher Xueyi praised Lin An for playing the piano well. In the previous piano competition, he was also helping you with tutoring."

Tang Xiaonan blinked her big eyes, wondering if something was wrong with her ear, "...I'm not angry."

"A child Lin An is polite, treats people generously and is attentive to help others..." As he said, Tang Hongxia's voice suddenly became a little serious, "I think Lin An is not a bad boy. She should interact with him in the future, and learn piano with him. But that's not to agree with anything else! Besides, you are still young now and the most important thing in the three years of high school. You still have to learn piano. You must focus all your energy on studying and piano, work hard, and strive to get into a good university. Later, I said I will wait until I go to college in the future, if..."

Tang Xiaonan stared at the shock with wide eyes, knowing that her parents were always a little suspicious, and also knew that they would be "interrogated and preached" again today, but she didn't expect to hear these things. Although they were still some words of admonition, their attitude was very subtle.

When she heard her mother talk about what she was going to college, her cheeks immediately burned. She hurriedly raised her head and pulled her arm to yell, "Mom~ I... I really have nothing to do with him. If you don't believe me, I..."

"Believe, believe! Stop shaking, my daughter, why would I not believe it?" Tang Hongxia couldn't help but smile at the rare silly her daughter.

Not only did the daughter raise her earlier than her peers, but she was also more mature. Now, many words are enough to stop when they are called, not to mention that the daughter is in a rebellious period at this age, and if she says heavily, it may also have a negative effect.

Just as she was about to continue joking, her daughter who suddenly became smaller, suddenly heard a few sounds of car horns coming. Tang Hongxia turned around and saw a more luxurious car coming.

"Auntie." Tang Xiaonan didn't know this distant relative. After her mother just mentioned it, she stopped the car in front of her. The window rolled down and saw a middle-aged woman appearing in front of her co-pilot. She quickly bent down politely and called for someone.

The middle-aged woman responded enthusiastically, "Oh, it's Xiaonan. I was too anxious yesterday and didn't see it clearly. I really became a big girl."

"I just went to Anyuan and bought a few boxes of wine and cigarettes." The car door behind opened, Tang Jian and he leaned over to say to Tang Hongxia, and then called the two of them to get in the car quickly.

"Uncle Tang, it's okay. Just drive faster on the road, don't worry. Hello Aunt Tang."

Following her mother bent down and sat in the back seat. When she heard the shouts, Tang Xiaonan looked up and saw a young man in his twenties in the driver's seat, turning around and greeting her politely.

"Haha, you have seen it at home two years ago, you can't recognize it, right? It's my nephew, Xiao Ting." My cousin turned around and turned from the front seat. After saying that to Tang Hongxia, he asked Tang Xiaonan, "Xiaonan has seen Xiao Ting, have you also seen Xiao Ting?"

"No." Tang Xiaonan shook her head and saw the smile calling Xiao Ting, she nodded in response, then looked at her father who was sitting on the other side of the seat of the car through her mother.

"I went to your place the next year before yesterday, but Xiaonan didn't follow him." Tang Jian and said with a hearty smile, "I haven't seen each other for two years. Xiaoting has grown taller and almost didn't recognize him."

"No, I thought I wasn't growing any longer for a few years, but my family was so anxious... Our van broke down. It just so happened that my door was going to Nanyang to purchase goods, so I called Xiaoting to help..."

The car started, Tang Xiaonan sat next to him, listening quietly as her cousin and her parents greeted her. Suddenly, she felt that Xiao Ting, who was driving in front of him, looked at the rearview mirror from time to time. She couldn't help but frowned, and then sat a little further to the side and turned to see the street view outside the window.

"...Xiao Ting didn't come back. Xiaonan won the award in our Haisha last time and even went on TV. Just two months ago, she almost went to the United States to study."

My cousin's voice suddenly became louder. When she heard her name calling several times, Tang Xiaonan glanced at her and saw that her cousin was talking to her mother enthusiastically, "You don't know, Xiaoting also learns piano and has won many awards." (To be continued.)
