Doting on Mr. Su (19) My Uneasy Days with Mr. Su

  "You're absolutely right!" She became serious again, thought of something, sat up straight and said: "Fu Yingxue, in the blink of an eye you've grown so big, your dad and mom can't be with you forever, what worries me most is your impulsive personality. Su Hao can tolerate whatever you do, but after marriage, you'll become a daughter-in-law of the Su family. You know their situation, they're a high-ranking official family who has moved between several provinces, in short, it's an official family, every move they make has deep meaning. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

  "Mom is reminding me to pay attention to my image and behavior?"

  "It's not wrong to say that..." She sighed and continued: "In the past, your Aunt Mei spoiled you, but that was all in the past. After getting married, you become someone else's daughter-in-law. It's best to tone down that reckless personality of yours. Don't tell your mother-in-law everything about your relationship with your husband, and don't tell Su Hang everything about your relationship with your mother-in-law either. You need to learn how to grasp the balance in between..."

  Dad stretched out his hand and patted her, with a mixture of melancholy and laughter: "You said I was thinking too much, but look at you, aren't you also thinking a lot?"

  His mother sighed and leaned against him: "Thinking of these practical problems, I really want to keep her for a few more years... but you know that Su family's child..."

  "Is there something I don't know about?" I feel like they're talking as if there's some kind of inside story.

  "What's there to know that you don't already? If you want to know, just get married and let him tell you..." With a tired wave of her hand: "Alright, hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow we'll be up early again, and when the sun rises, you can forget about sleeping." And to 'Fu Da Shu' she said: "Take the little one downstairs to Xiao He, we can't coax him."

  I just found out that Liu Wenlong's little friend had fallen asleep at some point and was now sleeping soundly in my dad's arms.

  Look at him, he's already asleep, which shows just how dull our conversation is.

  The couple went downstairs, and I returned to my room. On the dresser, there were 7 or 8 unreturned calls on my phone, all from Su Hao.

  I dialed back through the call records and it was answered as soon as it rang.

  His low voice came over: "Finished talking?"

  The faint sense of discontent seems not to be an illusion.

  I weakly responded with a "yes", and heard him let out a deep sigh, before saying after a long while: "I didn't even realize that my trust level with you had fallen so low, yet I still dare to retreat?"

  Got it, no need to guess, must be Chaoyang that big mouth eavesdropping and informing.

  I still have to explain: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe in myself. You're not around for these years and I've become what kind of person? Very clear to myself, being harsh and poisonous, acting on impulse without considering the consequences, doing whatever I want, I don't even know how much trouble I've caused or how many losses I've suffered...and still refusing to change..."

  "Do you also know that you yourself are incorrigible?"

  "It's rare for me to be so serious and reflect on myself, don't interrupt me, okay?"

  He stopped talking, but I couldn't help laughing. The serious atmosphere just disappeared. Forget it, I'll just lie down and be lazy: "We haven't even had a proper date, getting married is too sudden! I don't even have the most basic understanding of you now, where am I supposed to find security?"

  "Is this all you're worried about?"

  "That's the only problem!"

  "You're really stupid," he said, then chuckled softly for a while before continuing, "Don't you ever think about whether I have a sense of security? You're still so young, and I'm almost over the hill. It's not just you who lacks a sense of security."

  I blinked again, and he meant to say that he was also uneasy?

  "Because of age?" I blurted out.

  He murmured, "It's not just about age, it's also about you yourself. You're so dazzling that sometimes I feel blinded. At the age of nineteen, when your wings are about to unfold, I'm afraid that once you spread them, you'll fly away from this sky and I won't be able to catch you again..."

  "I don't dare to gamble, once you become someone else's, I can't imagine... how I'll get through the rest of my life after that."

  "Sakura, I'm not just watching you grow up, but also growing up with your support. Just thinking of you gives me immense strength to persevere and walk steadily until today. If this love is still not convincing enough for you, then let me take care of the rest of your time, and I'll prove it to you day by day."

  "Sleep tight, we still have to stay up late tomorrow."

  Everything is ready, and before you know it, it's New Year's Eve.

  In the dim light, before dawn broke, I was woken up by the whole family. Little Longlong, wearing a red traditional Chinese suit, crawled onto my bed like a moving red envelope: "Sister, get up! Get up! Big brother is calling you to paste couplets! Grandma is also calling you to paste couplets!"

  Ah... I didn't sleep well, it's so painful. I've only been staying at Mr. Su's house for a short while and I've already developed the habit of sleeping in. I was tossing and turning until the second half of the night... Now, before dawn breaks, someone is already setting off firecrackers. Does the rural New Year atmosphere have to be so strong?

  I was defeated by Xiaolong's crazy trampoline behavior, and I held onto the big red bag that was jumping around: "Sister is getting up now, but I have a task for you, go tell brother to wait for me for a bit, and as a reward, we'll go choose some good stuff at the supermarket after breakfast! Sister will just pay the bill!"

  "Is everything okay?"

  "Ah! Anything goes!"

  "Okay! I'll go find brother now!"

  Dahong Bao excitedly jumped out of bed and rushed out the door with a whoop.

  Children are really great...

  It's just a small thing, but it's enough to make me so happy.

  I yawned and stretched my waist. It's time to get up, firecrackers have been ringing continuously, and the new year's festival officially starts today. It's also a reunion day, and it will be busy all day long.

  It's actually all self-persuasion, I think that 'waking up early' will eventually be listed as one of the most painful things for humans.

  I came out of the bath, wiping my hair while getting used to checking my phone, and Su Hao's text was right on the screen: It's New Year's Eve, don't be lazy.

  I took a selfie and sent it over.

  Su Hao:

  Hair dryer

  Also attached is a selfie of him driving, seemingly waiting for the traffic light, with a lazy look in his eyes and a relaxed posture.

  No, he's almost 28 now. Someone known for being mature and steady, it's really hard to imagine him taking selfies with his phone, feels very out of character, right?

  I replied with a "posting spring couplets", and really changed clothes, put away my phone and went downstairs. On the kitchen table, a large bowl of hot porridge was already placed, with a brush beside it.

  "Are you awake?"

  Grandma habitually asks this question to whoever she sees in the morning, as if confirming whether someone is sleepwalking.

  I nodded: "I'm awake, I just didn't get enough sleep..."

  "After sticking and eating, you can still sleep. Your uncle insisted on calling your brother, he also deliberately teased you..." He said, handing me the plate with meat: "Eat two first to fill up."
