Is there really something she didn't see? She was confused.
"Call Qiaoqiao and ask her to pack up and wait for us to wait for her downstairs in the dormitory."
"I'll fight now."
Arriving at the school soon, Zhou Chen took out his pass. He still had this privilege in the school.
"Put on the mask."
When I arrived in front of the girls' dormitory, I saw Xie Qiao standing there with a bag on her back.
"Thank you Qiao."
"Zhou Chen, Wang Ying, you are here."
"Get in the car first."
Wang Ying got out of the car first and asked Xie Qiao to sit in the back row before she got on again.
As soon as Xie Qiao got in the car, she asked eagerly: "Wang Ying, you just said on the phone that Yang Cheng was in a car accident. What happened?"
Wang Yingyan replied concisely: "He was worried about you, so he took the pass from us and wanted to come to school to pick you up. Unexpectedly, he rear-ended you halfway, but don't worry too much. He only had a slight concussion. We just
After I came out of the hospital, I didn’t hear of any sequelae.”
Xie Qiao said with a guilty look on his face: "Then let me go to the hospital to see him. After all, he had a car accident because of me. If I don't go, I will really feel bad."
"I think it's better to forget it. She's in the hospital. If you go there, you'll have to run into her. I think you should ask Yang Cheng first."
"Ah, Yang Cheng's mother is here too."
When Xie Qiao heard this, he immediately backed down.
Meeting her boyfriend's elders was already very stressful, let alone the extraordinary status of Yang Cheng's parents, so she was naturally even more frightened.
"Yang Cheng asked us to take you home, so you should go home now. As for when to visit Yang Cheng after returning home, you can discuss it with Yang Cheng before going."
"All right."
"Qiaoqiao, please tell me the specific address of your home."
"Oh, Unit 1, Building 8, Zilin Green Garden, Dongli, Jianxiang, let me help you show the way."
There were obviously fewer cars on the road. Under Xie Qiao's guidance, they quickly arrived in front of Xie Qiao's residential unit building.
After Zhou Chen parked the car, Wang Ying got out first, letting Xie Qiao get out of the car, and then handed her a large bag of isatis roots and masks.
"Yang Cheng asked us to give this to you."
"Thank you, Wang Ying, if it weren't for you and Zhou Chen..."
"Okay, there's no need to say thank you. Zhou Chen and you are still young. Since you are already home, we will go back."
Seeing Zhou Chen open the car door and come out, Xie Qiao thanked him again.
"Zhou Chen, thank you."
"It's okay. If you need any help, just call me."
At this moment, someone suddenly came over. When he saw Xie Qiao, he immediately shouted: "Qiao Qiao, why are you back? Isn't your school closed?"
Xie Qiao heard a familiar voice, turned around and shouted, "Dad, where are you going?"
Xie Qiao's father was in his forties, wearing glasses and not tall. He walked up to Xie Qiao in two steps.
"I'm too bored at home, so I went to the supermarket in front of my community to buy something. Someone sent it back to you."
As he said that, he looked at Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, his eyes swept past Wang Ying and landed on Zhou Chen.
"oops!"
There was a sudden shout, which startled Zhou Chen and the three of them. Xie Zirun walked up to Zhou Chen, looked at him carefully, and then laughed.
"Zhou Chen, oh, I just said you look familiar. The last time I saw you at Grandma Qin's funeral, I didn't bother to talk. Was it you who sent Qiao Qiao back?"
Zhou Chen nodded: "Yes, Uncle Xie, long time no see, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed."
"Really, haha, I can't do it anymore, I'm old, I'm old, but you have changed a lot compared to when you were a child. Remember, you were only twelve or thirteen years old when you left. In the blink of an eye, it's been eighty or nine years. If
It’s not the last time I saw you, even if you passed by me, I wouldn’t recognize you.”
Xie Zirun was very happy and patted Zhou Chen's arm: "Yes, he's quite strong. Much stronger than Kawako from the Jianjun family."
"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go upstairs and sit down first. Our Qiao Qiao often talks about you. Her grandma and mother also want to meet you. It just so happens that you came here today. What a coincidence."
With that said, he pulled Zhou Chen and wanted to take Zhou Chen home.
Such enthusiasm caught Zhou Chen off guard and hurriedly struggled: "Uncle, there is no need to go upstairs. It's already noon and we have to go back to cook. Next time, next time I will come to visit grandma and uncle and aunt again. This time
Never mind."
"We're all at the door. What should we cook when we go back? Our family has already started cooking, so we can eat together. Okay, listen to uncle and go upstairs. Qiaoqiao, take your classmates upstairs with you. There are guests. Come back and call.
Your mother will cook more dishes."
Xie Zirun pulled Zhou Chen and refused to let Zhou Chen leave. He also asked Xie Qiao to call Wang Ying to come with him. He was extremely enthusiastic.
Zhou Chen struggled to get away, and was pulled away by Xie Zirun. He could only say: "Uncle, stop pulling me. I'm going upstairs, but you have to let me lock the car. The door is not closed yet."
"Oh, then you turn it off, you turn it off, I'll wait."
Seeing Xie Zirun staring at him, with an attitude that left him with nowhere to go, Zhou Chen was really helpless and could only look at Wang Ying.
Wang Ying looked at Xie Qiao with a strange expression: "Is your dad usually so enthusiastic?"
Xie Qiao looked embarrassed: "He is enthusiastic, but he is not like this at ordinary times. He must have become more excited after seeing Zhou Chen. Looking at this posture, you can't leave. Why don't you follow me upstairs to my house?"
Would you like to sit down?"
Wang Ying sighed and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Chen can't even leave, how do you want me to leave?"
She didn't want to come to the door, but Zhou Chen obviously couldn't leave. Naturally, she couldn't leave Zhou Chen alone.
In the end, Zhou Chen was pulled upstairs by Xie Zirun, and Wang Ying also went to Xie Qiao's house with him.
Zhou Chen and Wang Ying were sitting on the sofa at Xie Qiao's house, Grandma Xie was sitting next to Zhou Chen, Xie Qiao's mother Qiao Li was sitting on both sides and Xie Zirun was sitting on both sides, while Xie Qiao was standing in the living room blankly.
"So much has changed. Your parents would be very happy if they knew you were so successful now."
Grandma Xie grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and patted it gently. She was also a very talkative old lady, and she pulled Zhou Chen and kept talking.
Zhou Chen could only keep smiling and echoing Grandma Xie's words.
Grandma Xie turned her eyes to Wang Ying: "The little girl is so handsome, Xiaochen, is she your girlfriend?"
Zhou Chen nodded and responded: "Yes, yes."
Xie Qiao took the initiative to introduce her: "Grandma, dad, mom, this is Wang Ying, she is my roommate and Zhou Chen's girlfriend."
Wang Ying also smiled and called her grandma, uncle, and aunt, and then she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Chen wanted to leave after sitting for a while, but Grandma Xie and Xie Zirun held on and refused to let him go. There was no other way. In the end, he and Wang Ying had to stay at Xie's house and have lunch together before they were able to leave.
After getting into the car, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Xie Qiao and her family are too enthusiastic. I really can't handle this situation. Next time there is such a situation, please don't call me."
She is not the kind of person who is unsociable. The main reason is that she is not familiar with Xie Qiao's family at all, and they keep talking awkwardly.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. They just want to keep us for dinner. Don't say you can't handle it, I'm not used to it."
Strictly speaking, this was the first time he met Xie Qiao's family. There was not much familiarity left in his memory. It was really not easy to sit still for several hours.
Eating at Xie Qiao's house was just a small episode. They just washed the crabs in the morning and ate them in the evening.
Time soon came to the second half of May, and as He Xiaozhou was released from the hospital, the influenza pandemic finally came to an end.
Beiqing University and other universities are also starting classes one after another, and Wang Ying has also moved back to her dormitory. At this time, Zhou Chen's time as an exchange student is running out.
Due to the suspension of classes, the vacation this semester will be postponed. Zhou Chen is also planning to stay until the end of the semester before leaving and returning to Stanford University.
Time came in July, and Zhou Chen finally finished his exchange course. He vacated the school dormitory and put all his things back at home.
When they learned that Zhou Chen was leaving, Qin Chuan and others even planned to hold a farewell party for him.
At the dinner table, Qin Chuan said with a disappointed look on his face: "I originally expected you to be in charge when the new store opened, but I didn't expect you to leave now."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Your pancake shop is open. One more me is not more, one less me is not more. Besides, it's not like I won't come back. Don't wait for me to come back, but your pancake shop is closed."
