Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 311 Good Apple

Saturday.

Xie Bingran was still training in the morning and noon, and had half a day free in the afternoon, which was a rare short vacation in recent times.

Xu Chen slept in and planned to take a taxi there at noon.

The roommates all have their own plans for the weekend.

If the "academic master" Jiao Tianbo is not in the dormitory, he is most likely studying in the library.

"Literary Youth" Chen Wenyi is going to participate in the guitar club's activities, and it seems that they are going to the Bund shopping mall or something like that.

Only Hong Xiaoqiang was still staying in the dormitory, and not surprisingly, he was tinkering with his high-end computer that he had assembled himself.

Xu Chen simply washed up, chatted with Hong Xiaoqiang for a few words, and then went to the office with his bag.

……

Tonghai Business Building.

Xu Chen opened the refrigerator door and smiled with satisfaction. Sun Amy had already filled the refrigerator.

He washed some fruits and ate them while turning on the computer.

Yesterday evening, Yan Chuan had already sent the Jeep contract over, and Xu Chen still had to take a look at it.

Xu Chen's main focus is on key information such as contract amount, service content, delivery time and delivery standards.

The other terms can be handed over to Fang Jun and Si Daqing for review.

After checking and finding no problems, I forwarded the email.

Fang Jun had already created a communication group for finance and legal affairs, and Xu Chen spoke in the group again.

Si Daqing, the legal affairs officer, immediately responded to the message:

[Received! The legal department will arrange a review early Monday morning! ]

After a while, Teacher Fang Jun simply replied with "OK".

Xu Chen thought about it, and sent another message to Fang Jun:
[Please help me calculate the money recently. How much is in the company's account now, how much will be left by the end of the year, etc.

There are also daily expenses to be taken into account, including the labor costs of Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin in the future...】

【Do you need money recently? 】

【“Ranbing Sports” is considering launching, let’s see how many resources we have first. 】

[Do you want to talk to Mr. Xu? ]

[Don't panic, there's no rush. I'm not planning on making a big investment either.]

[Okay, I'll give it to you next week.]

……

Noon, downstairs.

A taxi stopped by the roadside and the driver got out of the cab. It was Zhao Feng's cousin Zhao Kai.

"Brother Chen!" Zhao Kai smiled simply.

Xu Chen was holding a bag with a few cigarettes in it:

"I brought it from home. I asked Zhao Feng and he said you like to smoke this!"

Zhao Kai looked reserved, but still reached out to take it:
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

He touched it and looked at it, still showing some emotion:
"This cigarette is really hard to buy in Shanghai."

This cigarette was naturally brought back from my hometown during National Day.

I happened to be taking a taxi to see Xie Bingran today, and I called Zhao Kai specifically to give him cigarettes.

Zhao Kai also helped a lot when we needed to find a car last time.

In addition, Xu Chen is alone in Shanghai, so such relationships should be maintained from time to time.

……

……

More than an hour later, the car stopped in front of the gate of the Xinzhuang base.

Xu Chen said goodbye to Zhao Kai briefly and let him go back to business.

I looked at the time. It was not even one o'clock yet. Xie Bingran would probably finish at two o'clock.

Xu Chen then wandered over to the hotel across the street and checked in.

……

By the time we returned to the gate of the Xinzhuang base, it was almost time.

Xie Bingran had already applied for "visitor" status in advance, so Xu Chen only needed to register and sign at the gate to let him in.

A few minutes later, downstairs of the athletes' apartment.

Xu Chen sat by the flower bed, waiting for Brother Bing to come back from training.

After sitting for a while, he saw two or three pairs of uncles and aunts who looked like "parents" also waiting at the apartment.

Only then did I realize that today's Saturday afternoon short break is also an opportunity for many athletes' families to come visit.

They were all carrying large bags or boxes, probably winter clothes.

It is already mid-October and the weather in Shanghai is gradually getting cooler.

In addition to the package, I also brought some food.

One parent was carrying a bag of fruit, and another was carrying a stainless steel multi-layer lunch box, probably bringing some nourishing food such as soup from home.

"I should bring something for Brother Bing as well..."

Xu Chen suddenly felt some self-blame.

Xie Bingran has no relatives in Shanghai.

In fact, her parents are nowhere to be found at this moment.

On the Saturday holiday, when other athletes and students had their parents and families visiting them, Xie Bingran was all alone.

Xu Chen suddenly smiled again.

I’m not alone, I still have myself, right?

……

"Xu Chen!" A clear shout came from behind.

Xu Chen looked back and saw that it was the sweet and lovely senior Bai Miao.

She was wearing a white sportswear and had obviously just come from the training ground. Her tied-up hair was still soaked with sweat.

"Hello, Senior Sister Bai Miao!"

Xu Chen stood up, still politely.

Bai Miao naturally knew that Xu Chen was here to see Xie Bingran, and said with a smile:

"The coach called Brother Bing over and they had something else to discuss.

But he should be back soon.”

Xu Chen: "Okay, I'll wait here for a while."

A middle-aged couple stood behind Bai Miao with a smile.

Xu Chen knew at a glance that these were Bai Miao's parents.

They have kind faces, but they all stand tall and are wearing sportswear.

Xu Chen recalled that he had heard from senior Bai Miao's "little fanboy" Huang Hao that her parents were both high school physical education teachers.

It seems that everyone above them is involved in sports, so they can be considered a "sports family."

Bai Miao blinked, but still smiled and introduced:
"This is my dad and my mom!"

Xu Chen bowed and nodded politely: "Hello, uncle, hello, auntie!"

Bai Miao: "This is Xu Chen, my junior at Tonghai University.

He is also a friend of my roommate Xie Bingran. "

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Xie Bingran and I were classmates in junior high and high school. We both came to Shanghai from the same place to study."

Bai Miao: "So you and Brother Bing were classmates in junior high school, I didn't know that!"

Bai Miao's father smiled and said:

"We are all athletes. Xie Bingran's talent is considered outstanding among this generation of domestic athletes."

Bai Miao's mother also smiled:

"Yes! Ever since Xie Bingran participated in the competition, my daughter finally realized how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Bai Miao pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy.

Xu Chen just smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Miao's mother spoke again:

"Why haven't I seen Xie Bingran's parents come to see her?

When we were in Beijing before, we went to the national team to see our daughter several times, but we didn’t see Xie Bingran’s family. ”

Bai Miao blinked: "I haven't seen it either."

……

Xu Chen remained silent, but felt helpless and disappointed in his heart.

Yes, children who practice sports have a very hard time.

Which parent wouldn’t feel sad?

During holidays, most people will come to visit like the parents I met today.

However, Xie Bingran has never had any "parents or family members" come to visit her, and she probably won't have any in the future.

Xu Chen still felt a little distressed and regretful, and he should love her more in the future. Bing Ge was basically silent in front of outsiders, and she would not take the initiative to talk about her family affairs with others.

It is understandable that my roommate Bai Miao didn’t know about this.

When Bai Miao's mother asked about this, Bai Miao was obviously confused.

Although she is a hard-working sports student, she can be seen as a little princess from Shanghai who has been loved by her parents since childhood. She cannot understand why her father and mother don't love her.

Xu Chen smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Bai Miao's father seemed to see something and said in a careless manner:

"Let's go up first. The fish soup I'm cooking is getting cold!"

Bai Miao smiled and said, "Xu Chen, let's go up first..."

……

Xu Chen sat for a while and then saw that cool and handsome figure again.

Xie Chenran wore a full black sports suit today and carried a backpack on one shoulder.

Her shirt was unzipped and her hands were in her pockets.

Xie Bingran saw Xu Chen from afar and showed a look of joy...

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" She had already come in front of Xu Chen.

"No, I just sat there for a while."

Xie Bingran had just finished training, the hair on her forehead was still wet, and there were beads of sweat on the ends of her hair by her ears.

The sweat on her face was wiped away, but a beautiful blush still remained.

"I'll go upstairs and take a shower, then change into clean clothes and come down." Xie Bingran said with a smile.

Xu Chen stretched out his hand to stop him:

"Bai Miao and her parents should still be in the dormitory."

He smiled again:
"You don't have to take a shower. I don't dislike you."

Xie Bingran felt a little embarrassed and wiped the sweat from his neck with his sleeve.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Chen hugged her again and leaned in to smell her.

However, Xie Bingran pushed him away again, biting her lip with a look of embarrassment and anger.

Xu Chen laughed: "I really like your taste!"

With a "swish", Xie Bingran zipped up his shirt.

"Let's go! I'll take you to dinner!" Brother Bing said coldly.

……

Athletes' canteen.

The two of them each got a meal and went to the less crowded seat near the window.

While eating, Xu Chen couldn't help but complain:
"Your coach is really smart. He finally gave us half a day off, but he deliberately delayed it until two o'clock and didn't even let us eat lunch."

The "little foodie" classmate was obviously hungry and was eating the food in big mouthfuls.

There were other athletes eating in the cafeteria, and it was obvious that they had just finished training.

There were also a few visiting parents who were having dinner with their children.

Like Bai Miao's parents, they also brought homemade "tonic" food from home.

Xu Chen looked at Xie Bingran and said:
"I'll make some food for you next time!

What would you like to eat?

Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think about it and said:

“It’s too troublesome, and the cafeteria has everything.

Just come and see me..."

Xu Chen thought about it and realized that it would be difficult to cook since he didn’t have a kitchen.

"Then I'll bring you some fruit. What kind of fruit do you want to eat?"

Xie Bingran blinked her big eyes:
"Then bring me a yellow apple next time you come."

Xu Chen was stunned:
"Why does it have to be a yellow apple? So specific?"

Xie Bingran: "When I sat at the same table with you, the first thing you shared with me was a yellow apple."

She said it casually, without seeming to have any particular emotion in it.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to recall what happened before he remembered it.

That was just a few days after the two of them became deskmates.

Father Xu Zhiquan would put some snacks in Xu Chen's schoolbag every day.

That day there happened to be two yellow apples.

When Xu Chen was about to eat during break, he discovered that one of them was broken in his schoolbag.

In the hot weather, it is about to break down.

Eating rotten apples will cause diarrhea, this is what my father Xu Zhiquan told me.

Xu Chen, with some strange and bad thoughts like a little boy, handed it to his taciturn deskmate and asked in a joking tone:

"Are you going to eat?"

He just wanted to make a joke and deliberately showed the rotten side of the apple to Xie Bingran.

Unexpectedly, Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, stretched out her little hand to take it, then lowered her head and began to eat...

Xu Chen was also surprised at the time, but as he was too young to know how to react.

Xu Chen took out the good apple from his bag and started eating it.

The young Xu Chen at that time actually had some "ridiculous" feelings in his heart.

I thought to myself that this girl sitting next to me was really stupid. She just ate the apple that was broken and rotten...

In the following weeks, Xu Chen gradually discovered that his deskmate had difficulty eating and often just ate a steamed bun.

That's why I shared lunch with her later.

……

Xu Chen recalled his memory, looked at Xie Bingran who was eating in front of him, and whispered:

"From now on, I will save the good apples for you."

Xie Bingran was chewing something with his cheeks bulging.

She blinked her big eyes, as if she didn't understand what Xu Chen said.

……

……

After lunch, Xie Bingran went back to the dormitory and put down his backpack.

When she came down again, she had changed into a clean set of clothes, a light-colored sports suit.

"You have so many sportswear." Xu Chen couldn't help but complain.

Xie Bingran: "It's considered a consumable. The team has distributed a few more sets."

Xu Chen: "Want to go somewhere to have some fun or go shopping? It's rare for you to rest."

Xie Bingran: "It's fine as long as I'm with you. It doesn't matter where we go."

Xu Chen: "How about going to the Bund? Or Lujiazui in Pudong? I don't think you've been there since you came to Shanghai, right?"

Xie Bingran: "Is it very far?"

Xu Chen thought about it and realized that transportation was indeed not very convenient on weekends.

The most important thing is that you two only have half a day, so don’t waste it on riding in the car.

"There is a Qibao Park nearby, which is connected to a cultural park and a museum. We can go there for a stroll."

Xie Bingran smiled and said, "Okay!"

……

Ten minutes later, the two had arrived at the Qibao Ancient Town, which had a rather "quaint" atmosphere.

Jiangnan water town, bell tower temple, and various Shanghai snacks.

It is rare to have such a cultural ancient town to visit so close to the city.

Xu Chen and Xie Bingran were wandering along the old street aimlessly.

Xie Bingran had just finished training at noon. Perhaps because Brother Bing was in great physical condition, he didn't look tired at all.

Xu Chen turned his head and glanced at Xie Bingran, and found that she looked a little gloomy.

"what happened?"

"You don't even hold my hand..."

Xu Chen laughed and quickly held the soft little hand.

Xie Bingran pursed her lips and leaned over happily.

Xu Chen spoke again:

"Do you guys still need to check the dormitories at night?"

Xie Bingran: "Yes, the coach is very strict."

Xu Chen: "I've also booked a hotel, right next to the training base."

Xie Bingran:
"Then I'll sneak out."
