Chapter 496: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (21)
Yao Sisi has imagined countless times what it would be like to have someone who could truly understand her inner world.
But it seemed that only at this moment did the image of that person gradually take shape, until it became clear and was about to have a name.
She stared blankly at Xiao Lang in front of her, an indescribable warmth surging in her heart, and she was a little dazed for a moment.
However, this brief trance did not last long.
At Xiao Lang's signal, Yao Sisi came back to her senses and slowly handed him the bun that she didn't know what to do with.
"It's not that I can't bear to part with these buns! I just..." Xiao Lang felt that he needed to explain, as it would be bad if the other party thought he was stingy.
Yao Sisi could completely understand his thoughts: "I know, you are just afraid of wasting food! Every grain of rice and porridge is hard-earned, so we should cherish it."
After taking the buns, Xiao Lang smiled and nodded to Yao Sisi, then started the car and drove her all the way to W City.
Along the way, Xiao Lang was in a good mood.
And because he had reserved plenty of time, when the two finally arrived at the train station, there was still quite a while before the train departed.
So Xiao Lang had lunch with Yao Sisi first.
In the restaurant, Xiao Lang carefully ordered a few of Yao Sisi's favorite dishes. Looking at her eating with relish, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Having seen how Yao Sisi habitually kept a distance from others, Xiao Lang was very satisfied that she could now change like this in front of him.
After lunch, Xiao Lang picked up several bags that he had prepared in advance, which were filled with various snacks and fruits, as well as a specially purchased local specialty.
He handed it to Yao Sisi and said gently, "Sisi, take these things with you on the road and don't starve yourself. This bag contains some local specialties I bought. Take them home for your uncle and aunt to taste."
Yao Sisi happily took the bag and thanked Xiao Lang sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Xiao! You are so thoughtful."
Then, as if she remembered something, she quickly added: "After the Chinese New Year, I will come back immediately and will definitely not delay the start of the house construction."
Xiao Lang smiled and waved his hands, comforting her, "It's okay, Sisi, just stay at home and spend time with your parents. After all, you have been busy with the house here all this time, and once everything is ready and the restaurant is open, you probably won't have time to go back.
By the way, if you have any questions, feel free to call me, even a video call is fine."
At this point, Xiao Lang mustered up his courage and whispered, "Actually... you can contact me when you have nothing to do."
After saying this, he lowered his head subconsciously. The ambiguity in his words made Xiao Lang feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
Don't be fooled by his height of over 1.80 meters, he is good-looking and quite talkative.
But he has never had a girlfriend! These words are nothing to others, but to him they are already love words.
However, what he didn't expect was...
"Okay, Brother Xiao!" Yao Sisi nodded with a smile, "When the time comes, don't find me annoying!"
At that moment, Xiao Lang's heart was instantly touched by a spring breeze, causing ripples to appear.
After the two of them said a brief goodbye, Xiao Lang watched Yao Sisi enter the station.
Xiao Lang was outside the station, watching the broadcast information scrolling on the big screen. It was not until he saw that the train that Yao Sisi was on had left that he went to the parking lot and drove home.
Although he was reluctant to see Yao Sisi leave, he also understood that the New Year was approaching and he should reunite with his family.
But when can they celebrate the New Year together? It seems he still needs to work harder!
It was only after Yao Sisi got in the car that she remembered that she seemed not to have called home to tell them that she would be returning home today.
Originally, she planned to call her mother Fang Jing to report the situation, but Yao Sisi suddenly wanted to give her family a surprise, so she didn't make the call.
When we arrived at the train station in City B, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
There was no traffic jam on the road, and it only took Yao Sisi thirty minutes to reach her doorstep.
As soon as I unloaded my luggage, I was seen by Aunt Ding who was coming back from shopping. She said in disbelief, "Miss, you're back! Why didn't you tell your family?"
"I bought the tickets at the last minute because I wanted to give my parents a surprise." Yao Sisi explained with a smile.
Just this smile made Aunt Ding a little dazed.
Yao Sisi has always had a hint of sadness between her brows since the high school entrance examination, but today is different. Although the depression that has accumulated on her has not completely dissipated, she is much more cheerful than before.
"It seems that the hometown is for raising people!" Aunt Ding said with emotion, "The young lady looks very different."
