Chapter 109 Zhou Ye was actually willing
We finally arrived at the airport.
When Aunt Tian came, she was carrying a large suitcase, but when she left, she was only carrying a small backpack.
Liu's mother arrived empty-handed, having brought only local specialties from her hometown for her daughter, which were all stored in Liu Haochun's dormitory.
"Zi'an, I'm leaving them in your care!" Mother Tian said meaningfully.
Liu's mother also looked at him intently.
"Okay! Don't worry! I'll take good care of them!"
Under the reluctant gazes of Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun, the two mothers' figures slowly disappeared at the other end of the security checkpoint.
Once their figures had completely disappeared, Tian Xiwei, who had just been leaning against Wang Zian with red eyes and unable to say a word, suddenly took a breath.
Then, her face, still bearing the marks of her tears, suddenly transformed into an extremely radiant smile, as if a switch had been flipped.
She clenched her fists, raised her arms high, and shouted forcefully and without reservation at the high dome of the airport terminal.
"Yes! Mom's finally back!" Tian tide shouted excitedly; "Now I'm free!"
Wang Zian, Zhou Ye, and Liu Haochun stood beside her, all stunned by her sudden turn of events.
She was just snuggling and acting cute in her mother's arms a moment ago, and her mother's figure hadn't even gone far yet. The speed at which she turned her emotions was simply textbook-worthy.
Under the simultaneous gaze of three pairs of eyes, Tian Xiwei slowly lowered her raised arms, and the smile that was almost reaching her ears also faded slightly.
Her dimples were still there, but her tone had changed from the jubilant "I'm free!" to a slightly guilty, earnest attempt to prove herself.
"It's not that I don't like my mom! You don't know, when my mom is here, she unconsciously interferes with a lot of things."
"She won't let me stay up late, won't let me play around, and won't let me eat snacks. Yesterday she even confiscated the spicy snacks I hid under my pillow."
As she became increasingly agitated in her explanation, gesturing wildly with her hands in the air to depict the horrific scene of her spicy snacks being confiscated, she seemed afraid that the three people beside her would mistake her for a heartless and unfilial daughter.
Wang Zian couldn't help but chuckle, then raised his hand in a stopping gesture. "Alright. Okay. Let's go back now."
Tian tide pursed her lips, and her two dimples reappeared.
She patted her backpack and turned to walk towards the parking lot, her steps light as if she had springs in her feet.
Liu Haochun followed behind her, glanced back at the security checkpoint, then turned back. There was a hint of disappointment in Xiaode's eyes, but mostly calm.
····
The night flowed past the car window, and the light from the streetlights swept across the windshield, casting flickering shadows on the faces of the people inside the carriage.
Wang Zian gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. From the back seat came Tian tide's slightly lowered but barely suppressed excited murmurs as she leaned against the car window, counting the light strips on the overpass.
Zhou Ye leaned back in his seat with a normal expression, turning his head to look out the window.
Her profile was illuminated intermittently by the passing streetlights, and her expression was calm.
She glanced in the rearview mirror and then suddenly spoke up.
"Tonight, everyone should stay at the apartments in this complex!"
Right?
Wang Zian's hand trembled slightly.
When he saw the message from Zhou Ye in the morning, he thought she was just using that kind of talk to appease the two aunts.
A plausible excuse to reassure them: once the contract is signed and the mothers leave, everyone will still live separately.
He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to make this happen immediately after the mothers left.
He glanced at Zhou Ye, who actually had a smile on his face.
Tian Xiwei, sitting in the back row, readily agreed.
She was sitting cross-legged in the back seat, her canvas shoes long since kicked off, her toes curling happily on the edge of the seat.
She leaned over and rested her head on the back of Zhou Ye's chair: "Great! I've brought everything!"
Liu Haochun did not answer immediately.
He glanced cautiously at the rearview mirror, observing her expression.
There was no anger, no jealousy, and no hypocrisy!
She actually agreed!!!
Liu Haochun was somewhat surprised!
Based on her observations over the past few days, Zhou Ye should be a very jealous person.
I originally thought that she was just trying to put her mother at ease this morning and was prioritizing the bigger picture.
I never expected such a grand vision!
If it were her, no matter how much money it cost, she would never do that!
"Okay~!" Liu Haochun nodded gently, her voice still soft.
Seeing that both of them had agreed, Zhou Ye straightened up a little from the back of his chair and turned to the side.
"That house, I told your mother it was our house; but it actually belongs to Wang Zi'an."
She paused here, her eyelashes drooping slightly, "After all, it's not a very pleasant thing for us girls to live in a boy's house."
So I phrased it differently in front of the aunties.
She spoke tactfully, but everyone present understood her.
Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun exchanged a glance.
Tian Xiwei nodded vigorously, understanding perfectly: "Don't worry! I definitely won't tell my mom."
"She likes you a lot now. If she finds out that this house actually belongs to Wang Zi'an, she'll definitely fly back and drag me away immediately."
Liu Haochun nodded quickly.
Actually, the two of them had vaguely guessed it before.
When I visited Wang Zian's home that day, his books were piled on the desk in the study, and his coats were hanging in the dressing room. The whole house showed traces of his life living alone.
No one called them out, since the cost of living in Yanjing was really high.
···
The car was parked safely in the parking space in the residential area.
The group got out of the car. The night air was still humid, but a little cooler than in the evening. The automatic sprinklers on the lawn had just been watered, and there was a damp smell of grass in the air.
Tian Xiwei was the first to rush into the house.
She precisely pulled out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entryway; they were the ones Zhou Ye had bought yesterday.
She kicked off with her feet, and like a pebble launched from a slingshot, she hurtled straight toward the large, off-white sofa in the living room.
Her bun swayed twice on her head, and she didn't even bother to brush away a stray hair. She plopped down on the sofa, rolled over, and then sat up.
"Freedom is here!" he shouted.
She reached out and precisely touched the remote control for the projector on the coffee table next to her and the Switch controller next to it.
She knew about this thing the first time she came here.
She had wanted to play for a long time, but with her mother around, she didn't dare to be too unrestrained.
Now that my mom has gone back to Sichuan and Chongqing, thousands of kilometers away, I can't control her staying up late, so she can play openly now.
"Zhou Ye! Hao Cun! Come quick! I saw there were so many fun games here yesterday!" She sat cross-legged on the sofa, waving the game card box frantically towards the door.
"I saw so many fun games here yesterday!"
After changing into her slippers, Liu Haochun didn't rush to the sofa like Xiaotian. Instead, she bent down and straightened the several pairs of shoes that had been kicked and knocked askew in the entryway, one by one.
Tian Xiwei kicked her canvas shoes aside, while Zhou Ye's sandals leaned crookedly against the shoe cabinet.
She neatly stacked them in the shoe cabinet before walking over to the sofa and sitting down, her legs properly together. As she watched the game loading on the projector screen, a rare light shone in her eyes.
Zhou Ye looked at the two girls in the living room, their faces illuminated by the projector light. Tian Xiwei was teaching Liu Haochun how to hold the Switch controller, guiding her thumb to the joystick with her fingers, her voice so loud it echoed throughout the living room.
She smiled slightly, walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the lemon water she had prepared earlier, poured three glasses, placed them on a tray, and put one glass in front of Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun next to the coffee table.
Then she picked up a glass for herself and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
Wang Zian shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Yiming gave him this a few days ago when he borrowed the car.
Over the years, Zhang Yiming has learned his hobbies very well.
"You guys play first! I have something to do!"
