The plan is not as fast as the change. Unexpectedly, the time was just discussed. That afternoon, Zhao Nanxiao received a call from her aunt at home, saying that her mother Chen Xiaoman was probably too tired during this period. She caught a cold last week and had mild pneumonia. She hung up as the doctor's order and rested at home for a few days. She had already recovered, but in the past few days, she had symptoms of headache and tinnitus. She happened to have something to do at home and needed to go back, so she called and explained the situation to her.

My mother suffered from neurasthenia for several years due to her father's accident. Fortunately, her health has improved again in recent years. According to my aunt's description, it feels like a recurrence of an old illness.

Zhao Nanxiao was a little nervous. After calling her aunt, she immediately called her mother and asked her about her condition.

Chen Xiaoman received a call from her daughter and was very happy. She said that she was not very problematic. She had already visited the doctor, prescribed medicine, and could sleep at night after taking medicine. She was afraid that she would worry, so she didn't tell her, so she didn't have to worry.

"But if you can get rid of it, can you come back and stay at home for a few days?" she asked her daughter, speaking in a little discussion.

After having conflicts with her daughter several times over work, she was not only defeated but also ignored by her daughter, Chen Xiaoman has probably learned a lesson now. Although she is still reluctant to be there, she dare not ask her to do whatever she wants as she did before.

When Zhao Nanxiao received the call from his aunt, she was already guilty and felt that she didn't care about her mother. Now, when she heard her talking to her in such a tactful tone, she felt even more guilty. She immediately nodded: "Okay, let me make arrangements here. Actually, I will go back next week. I will come back as soon as possible. Mom, you can rest well."

After calling, Zhao Nanxiao went to Lao Chen to tell the situation. Lao Chen immediately asked her to reply, saying that with Xiao Chen helping him, he would be fine if he could last ten days and half a month here.

Zhao Nanxiao was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly, and packed up his things when he came back.

The project department held a construction period meeting in the afternoon. Given that the weather was getting warmer and the construction period was tight, it was decided that some construction projects would implement a three-shift working system from next week and made detailed plans. After the meeting, Xu Shu went to the laboratory again and came back at around 9 o'clock in the evening. He saw that there was a light in his room and opened the door. Seeing Zhao Nanxiao inside, he wanted to hug her when he went up.

"Don't move, I've taken a shower!"

Zhao Nanxiao hid immediately and refused to let him touch him.

Xu Shu ignored her objection and forced himself to go up and slap her hard on her face. Then he picked up the basin and towel and smiled at her: "Wait, I'll go take a shower now and come back soon!"

As expected, he came back soon, his hair was still wet. He came in and wiped it casually with a dry towel, put on a clean short-sleeved T-shirt, sat down and pulled her over to ask her to sit with him.

Zhao Nanxiao leaned in his arms and told him that her mother was a little uncomfortable these days. She wanted to go back tomorrow.

Xu Shu was stunned and showed a worried expression: "Auntie isn't serious, right?"

"It should be an old problem, it's not serious, don't worry."

"Okay, then you go back as soon as possible."

He thought for a while and picked up his cell phone and wanted to make a call.

"No, I'll talk to Mr. Ding and go back with you!"

Zhao Nanxiao said: "It's okay, it's not too late to go back when you have time next week. I'll go back first and wait for you at home."

Xu Shu was worried: "It's not good, will your mother think I don't care about her? If she has any opinions about me, then I'm done?"

Zhao Nanxiao smiled and said, "My mother is not just acquainted you, and she is not such an unreasonable person. Besides, it is not serious. I will go back and spend a few days with her first. You are fine and come next week."

Xu Shu is really busy here, and everything else is easy to say, mainly the laboratory. If he leaves this week, he will go to Li Weiran’s wedding next week. It will take half a month to delay it, which is indeed a bit unstoppable.

But he really couldn't bear to part with her.

It would be fine if I hadn't been together before. Since he was together the night before yesterday, he has been eating the marrow and getting started. He always thinks about her during the breaks of work, and he wishes he could stick with her all the time.

Last night, she refused to go to the villa with him and left him to return to the collective dormitory at around 10 o'clock. He didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. He had secretly hoped that one day of watching the show would be done early, so why did he think of a way to get her to "watch a movie" together? Unexpectedly, this accident suddenly came out and she was leaving tomorrow.

"Would you please accompany me tonight? You will leave tomorrow. I will not see you for many days."

Zhao Nanxiao knew what he wanted to do, but the villa was too far away and she was going to catch a plane tomorrow. It was not possible here.

Xu Shu seemed to guess what she thought, and put his mouth in her ear and whispered: "Let's go to the county town to open a room? Anyway, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow, and I'll stay in the county town at night. The way to the airport tomorrow is closer."

Zhao Nanxiao bit her lip and said nothing.

"Miss Xiaonan, please..."

He looked at her, grabbed her hand and shook it gently, and begged quietly.

Zhao Nanxiao really had no way to deal with him, so he could only stand up half-swer and half-stop with him.

His eyes were shiny with a smile, and he quickly put on his coat and put on his pants: "Let's go."

Zhao Nanxiao brought the things he had packed during the day, got into the car, and came to the county town with him. At around 10 o'clock, he opened a room in the hotel he had stayed before, and the two of them moved in.

At six o'clock the next morning, Zhao Nanxiao was woken up by the alarm clock.

I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night last night. I was so tired. She is still very sleepy and her eyelids are stuck together. I really don't want to get up. I can't do it. Even if the road conditions are good, it will take three or four hours to get to the airport. She was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the flight at noon, so she reserved a little more time.

She turned off the alarm clock, and with strong will, she finally barely opened her eyes, rubbed her, and turned her head to see Xu Shu wrapped her waist with a blanket, and was still sleeping soundly bent down and climbed up first. She was bent down to find clothes that she had thrown off where she had left her. She felt a pair of warm hands stretching out from behind and dragging her back.

"Let me sleep for a while..."

He closed his eyes and came over to kiss her, muttering vaguely.

“Last night wasn’t enough?”

Zhao Nanxiao pushed away his face in anger and took off his hand that was stretched out.

"Not enough..." The paw that had just been removed reached over again.

"Xu Shu, get up! There's no time!"

Zhao Nanxiao kicked him.

He finally opened his eyes and saw her kneeling and staring at him angrily. He immediately sat up and said that it would be fine in three minutes. He got out of bed and quickly put on his clothes, rushed into the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Zhao Nanxiao thought he could leave, but unexpectedly underestimated his disobedience. Before leaving, he was blocked by him again. He said with a sensation that he would not see her for a week and had to express his separation. Naturally, the best place to express is bed. As a result, he checked out until eight o'clock, had a few bites of breakfast, and hurriedly set off for the airport.

I was lucky. There were not many cars on the road today and the road conditions were not unexpected. I didn’t encounter diversion blocks caused by repairing large road pits as usual. Before noon, he finally took her to the airport in time.

Zhao Nanxiao said goodbye to him in front of the gate gate and made an appointment to wait for him at home. He was about to go in, but he stopped him again.

"Zhao Nanxiao, don't forget what I told you, and say a few more good things to me in front of my grandfather and aunt."

He whispered to her.

When he came on the way, he had no idea how many times he reminded him of this.

Zhao Nanxiao was annoyed when he heard this and was about to roll his eyes when he said, "This is not the first time I am nervous? Be considerate and don't bother me."

She paused, looked at him, and saw that he had a solemn expression, and she seemed to be a little nervous when she looked at him. She seemed to be tweeted by something quietly, so she nodded.

He smiled and stared at her: "Then go, send me a message when you arrive."

Zhao Nanxiao nodded, waved at him, dragged the box into the gate, boarded the plane, and returned home smoothly that day.

The aunt left in the morning, and Shen Xiaoman was left alone in the family. She was very happy to see her daughter coming back so soon.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Zhao Nanxiao felt relieved. After dinner in the evening, she accompanied her for a walk. After coming back, she brought a glass of water to the room.

"Mom, you took the medicine and took a break."

Shen Xiaoman asked her daughter to sit by her bed and asked her how long she could stay when she came back this time.

Zhao Nanxiao said that it depends on the situation. After saying that, he saw that she wanted to speak but stopped, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, Mom, everything is really good over there."

Shen Xiaoman looked depressed: "No matter how good it is, how good can it be? How long will it take to end that project? After waiting, how old will you be then?"

When she was walking outside just now, Zhao Nanxiao wanted to tell her about herself and Xu Shu, but when she thought that in her mother's eyes, she and Xu Shu knew each other like siblings since childhood, and suddenly became like this kind of relationship. She was afraid that she would be embarrassed to react, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing her mention this again, she would have to say it sooner or later, so she paused: "Mom, I want to tell you something, I already have a boyfriend."

Shen Xiaoman swallowed the medicine and was drinking the remaining water in the cup when he suddenly heard his daughter's words and choked on the water.

Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly took the cup, gave it to her, and patted her back.

Shen Xiaoman coughed twice, opened her eyes wide and looked at her daughter: "Who?"

Zhao Nanxiao's face became hot and he couldn't say it for a moment.

"You want to be anxious! Why don't you tell me quickly, who is it? What are you doing? Where are you from?"

Shen Xiaoman asked a series of questions and kept urging him.

Zhao Nanxiao whispered: "It's just that person... you actually know him too... He often came to our house when he was a child... he was very familiar with us..."

"Do you know? Which one?"

Shen Xiaoman immediately reported the names of several friends' sons, and after saying that, he shook his head: "No, it's impossible for either getting married or having a girlfriend! Xiaonan, who is it?"

She suddenly stopped and looked at her daughter with wide eyes: "It's not Xu Shu, right?"

Mom finally thought of him.

Zhao Nanxiao's face became even hotter, and his voice was like a mosquito: "It's him..."

Chen Xiaoman was obviously surprised, and said "ah" and disappeared.

Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly explained: "Mom, listen to me. Originally, I really treated him like my younger brother. Later, he chased me and said he liked me. I got along with him and thought others were okay, so I accepted it."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her mother quietly, and saw that she seemed to be still standing there, a little nervous: "Mom, why don't you talk? You won't dislike him, right?"

Chen Xiaoman seemed to come back to his senses and immediately said, "How is that possible? It's just a little bit unexpected. To be honest, I really didn't expect that you will be better!"

She looked at her daughter happily: "This is great! I liked Xu Shu this kid very much when she was a child. Now she is older and sensible, and it's better. Besides, their family is also aware of the roots. I feel relieved to be together. Isn't this fate?"

Mom's joy was beyond words, and Zhao Nanxiao finally felt relieved and began to say good things to her lover: "Mom, he knows that you are in a bad health recently. I was going to come back with me to see you today, but I was too busy with work there. I asked him to finish the work first and then come back. He asked him to leave and come next week and ask me to help him give you a greeting."

"It's okay, let him be busy first. I'm not in a hurry here, it's not that I don't know each other." Chen Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Mom, you're so nice."

Zhao Nanxiao felt warm, leaned over, and put her face in her arms.

Chen Xiaoman hugged her daughter, touched her hair, and asked, "Xiao Nan, do you and Xu Shu have plans to get married?"

Zhao Nanxiao nodded.
