Love Letters

Chapter 150 Are you in love with him?

"he is?"

Zhang Meili and He Dahai were stunned when they saw Xu Mobai.

Then he glanced at He Miao, with a look of judgment, "You..."

"We are just classmates."

He Miao denied it with a guilty conscience, and then explained, "He is my classmate. He came here to visit his relatives but was trapped here by the heavy snow. I thought..."

"Where are your relatives? See if there's any way we can help?"

When He Dahai saw his daughter bringing a boy home, his alarm bells went off subconsciously.

"this......."

It was just a made-up excuse. Where can I find any relatives?

"If it doesn't work, let him go back."

He Miao pushed the person into the yard.

Xu Mobai, such a tall man, staggered when he was pushed by her.

He also listened to her and followed her out obediently.

"See if there's anyone who wants to leave, whether it's the town or the county, let him leave here first."

"It's getting late now."

He Miao explained to him while making excuses, "He said he hasn't had a New Year's Eve dinner with his family since elementary school. It's just a meal, and it doesn't matter what you eat."

Hearing this, Zhang Meili and He Dahai's faces darkened.

He Dahai, in particular, felt very uncomfortable.

"You two are just classmates?"

"Yes."

He Miao deserved it without hesitation.

"Dad, haven't you seen him? He was sitting next to me."

He Miao led the man into the house, and then pushed him in front of He Dahai, "Take a closer look, is it him?"

He Dahai was not so confused about the person that he could not see clearly. He just saw his daughter bringing the boy home and he protected the boy and spoke for him.

Zhao Huijuan was the first to soften her heart. She held Xu Mobai's hand tightly and said, "Xiaobai, you finally came back to see grandma."

"Xiao Bai? Is his name also Xiao Bai?"

Hearing this, Zhang Meili was a little surprised, "Mom, do you know this child too?"

"I know. During the summer vacation..."

"Don't worry about it. Stay for dinner or accommodation."

He Dashu then stood on Zhao Huijuan's side, "It's just a matter of having more pairs of chopsticks."

"Are you going to let this child go back alone in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Huijuan looked like she was looking at her own grandson, with a look of reluctance on her face.

"That's not what we meant."

He Dahai also compromised, "He Miao's classmates are guests of our home, so why not keep them?"

"I'm going to pick the evening vegetables."

He Miao was still angry.

His expression didn't look very good when Xu Mobai followed him.

"Go dig some coriander."

He Miao pointed to a small piece of green coriander in front of him, then put his hands in his pockets and acted like a hands-off boss.

Xu Mobai agreed, lifted the plastic covering it, and started digging with a small hoe.

The vegetable garden is taken care of by He Dashu and Zhao Huijuan, and it has everything, including cabbages of different sizes, celery, onions, garlic, lettuce, radish, coriander, etc.

Even if you don't go out shopping, you can have enough food to last the whole winter.

"After digging the coriander, go and pick the cabbage next to it."

He Miao felt his hands were cold, so he simply didn't take them out, stretched out his legs and pointed to the small shed on the other side.

"There's one more person tonight, so you need to pick more to have enough to eat."

"it is good."

Xu Mobai agreed to all of them without any complaints, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why are you laughing?"

He Miao kicked the plastic shed, and soon the snow on it fell down.

“Because I’m in a good mood.”

Xu Mobai still kept his head down picking vegetables.

"Are you happy when I order you around?"

"Ah."

Xu Mobai suddenly looked up at her, his tone serious and sincere.

"He Miao, since I met you, I feel that many things in life, no matter how big or small, are meaningful."

He recalled that he was halfway there, almost at the entrance of the village, and had almost accepted this reality.

However, when he turned the corner, a warm hand suddenly grabbed him.

"besides........"

"When they ask you something later, try to say as little as possible. Listen to me and follow my gaze."

She held the dog in one hand and gently pulled him back with the other.

The wind was getting stronger and the snow was getting heavier, so they went at their normal speed.

When I went back, I was covered in white, like a snowman.

"Don't go to such heights so easily. It's just a meal."

Looking at his serious expression, He Miao felt a little uncomfortable.

She was just being soft-hearted...that's why she brought him back halfway.

"By the way...is it true that you've always been spending the New Year by yourself?"

He Miao felt a little bored standing there, or to be exact, he was very bored during this period of time.

The village is basically populated by elderly people and children, and there are almost no people her age.

Xu Mobai's sudden arrival at this moment actually added a bit of interest to her quiet and boring life.

"Ah."

Xu Mobai raised his eyelids slightly, without stopping the movement of his hands, "My parents divorced when I was very young."

His tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I follow my dad, but he never comes home. My mom hardly ever comes to see me because she hates my dad."

He Miao didn't expect the topic to become more and more serious.

She quietly raised her eyelids, looking a little guilty.

He suddenly felt ashamed, coughed and said quickly: "Ahem! Actually, you don't have to say what you don't want to say. Everyone has their own secrets and things they don't want to talk about."

"I don't feel sad."

Xu Mobai spoke lightly, as if he had already let it go.

It would have been better if he didn't say it, but after he said that, she felt her whole soul tremble.

Can't blame her, people who have done something wrong are like this, they instinctively feel guilty...

"Xu Mobai."

She called him softly, "Have you been observing the New Year?"

Hearing this, he looked up at her with a confused look on his face.

Seeing him shaking his head, looking confused, He Miao smiled, as if he was back at home, "Summer in the countryside is fun, but winter is not bad either."

She squatted down beside him, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "You will know later."

"it is good."

We had hotpot in the evening.

At the dinner table, He Miao kept putting food into Xu Mobai's bowl.

With so much meat and vegetables, it will soon be full.

"What are you doing kid?"

Zhang Meili thought He Miao was playing, "Have you had enough?"

"He said he didn't have much of a New Year's Eve dinner, and he ate takeout by himself on New Year's Eve."

He Miao suddenly remembered Xu Mobai's expression when he was digging coriander, lonely and desolate...

I couldn't help but pick up another piece of meat for him.

Hearing this, Zhao Huijuan's heart softened, "Good child, eat more, now is the time to grow up."

"Still growing? Someday I can grow taller too."

He Miao was not hurt because Zhao Huijuan picked food for Xu Mobai, she just felt that everyone ate the same food, but she...

The candlelight in the living room was very bright, and the shadows of several people were cast on the wall, very long.

After dinner, Zhang Meili suddenly pulled He Miao into the room.

"Tell me the truth, are you in a relationship with that boy?"
