The place to eat is a nearby sushi restaurant. According to Meng Xiu, Han Ling likes to eat sushi.

The decoration of the store is very Japanese, with Japanese wallpaper on the walls, and a woman in a kimono, smiling gently.The table is very low, you need to kneel and sit on both sides of the table.

Meng Xiu and Yong Xiang arrived early. Meng Xiu said that punctuality is the most basic courtesy of a person.

When Han Ling arrived, the time was just right, not too late.Han Ling is slightly fatter, but it's just that kind of plump fat.She still has baby fat on her face, which looks cute.There is no exaggerated color in the clothes, simple, but it can make people's eyes shine.When she smiled, she looked like a girl who didn't know much about the world, with exquisite facial features, just like the heroine in Japanese manga.

Han Ling came over and led a little boy, about four or five years old.

When she walked in, Yong Xiang felt that Meng Xiu's eyes were different from those of others, so he concluded that the woman who walked in was Han Ling.According to time, her child should also be so old.

Han Ling walked in, saw Meng Xiu at a glance, walked over with a smile, and said, "You don't seem to have changed much."

Meng Xiu smiled: "You haven't changed much."

Han Ling lowered his head and said softly to the little boy he was holding: "Han Jing, his name is uncle." She looked at Yong Xiang's young face, "That one is called brother."

Han Jing obediently called his uncle and brother, and Meng Xiu happily rubbed Han Jing's face: "You are so good, sit down."

Han Ling introduced while sitting: "He is Han Jing, take my surname."

Meng Xiu looked at Yong Xiang beside him, and introduced, "His name is Yong Xiang."

"Yeah." Han Ling glanced at the menu on the table, "Have you ordered?"

"It's ordered, and it will be up in a while." Meng Xiu replied, and then looked at Han Jing's little bun face, "Han Jing, how old are you this year?"

Han Jing said childishly, "Five years old, is uncle on a blind date with mother?"

Han Ling, Meng Xiu, and Yong Xiang were all taken aback.Ever since Han Ling came, Yong Xiang felt that even though she and Meng Xiu hadn't seen each other for several years, they sounded as if they met yesterday, and Meng Xiu still remembered her taste, and ordered the food before she came. If they We talked on the phone about Meng Xiu ordering food first, and Han Ling stopped asking.

Now Han Jing said this again, are they on a blind date?So what is he?Light bulb?

Han Ling apologized in a panic: "Meng Xiu, I'm sorry, the child may have misunderstood." Then she lowered her head and explained to Han Jing gently: "Xiao Jing, mom is not on a blind date. Uncle is mom's high school student. Classmates, today is my mother and high school classmates gathering for dinner."

"Oh." Han Jing nodded understandingly, and then realized that his words would disturb others, so he said childishly, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"It's okay." Meng Xiu patted his head.

Yongxiang looked away from the window.

Han Ling smiled wryly and said, "I've been on a blind date for the past two days, so it's reasonable for Xiao Jing to say that."

Blind date?Yong Xiang turned to look at Han Ling in shock.

Feeling Yongxiang's gaze, Han Ling exchanged a glance with him, and said with some embarrassment: "...Meng Xiu, have you never had a girlfriend?"

Meng Xiu glanced at Yongxiang, and hummed: "I haven't talked about a girlfriend since graduation." Although Yongxiang was a little unhappy that his existence could not be made public, he also understood that this kind of thing needs to be done step by step, and many people will not be able to accept it.Besides, he was a little timid and didn't dare to tell Meng Xiu's ex-girlfriend himself.

The waiter delivered several plates of sushi, put the dipping sauce on the table, and said in Japanese: "Please use it slowly."

Watching the waiter walk away, Han Ling picked up a piece of sushi, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and then put it in Han Jing's bowl: "Try it."

Han Jing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.Because he was still young, he couldn't finish the whole sushi in one bite. After taking a bite, the radish and meat floss wrapped in the sushi separated from the rice outside and fell into the bowl.

Han Ling wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled softly.

Yong Xiang thought, Han Ling is really a very gentle and lovely person.He looked at Meng Xiu next to him, and Meng Xiu also looked at Han Jing, smiling happily.

Han Ling said, "How have you been recently?"

Meng Xiu replied: "Not bad, how about you?"

Han Ling smiled a bit forcedly, as if he was thinking about the bad past: "It's still the same. After I divorced him two years ago, I was on a blind date, and when they heard that I was bringing a child, they refused to continue to develop gone."

Han Jing raised his head pitifully and looked at Han Ling: "Mom, did I drag you down?"

Han Ling patted his head distressedly: "No. Xiaojing is the most important family member of my mother. How could you drag me down? You have always been the driving force for me to move forward."

Han Jing's eyes were shining: "Really?"

"Really." Han Ling smiled contentedly, "Without you, how could my mother have the courage to leave. So, you are my courage and my mother's luck."

Han Jing smiled happily and continued eating sushi.

Yongxiang looked at Han Jing in front of him, and suddenly felt sorry for him.Maybe it's because I had the same idea when I was a child.When he was young, he also asked his parents, who were arguing over daily necessities, whether he was a burden.At that time, my mother said, what are you thinking, go back to the room.So his bedroom has always been his turtle shell.

Meng Xiu said, "It's fine to leave."

Han Ling sighed: "Yeah, who knew that he likes to drink so much and beat people when he's drunk. Well, let's not talk about that, let's talk about your novel. I read the novel you mentioned earlier, and it was written very well. very good."

Meng Xiu smiled: "If I can't write well in seven or eight years, I won't be a fool."

Han Ling smiled and said, "I was really scared when you broke up with me after the college entrance examination without saying a word."

Meng Xiu smiled: "I don't want to be so sudden either."

Yongxiang looked at Han Ling, hoping that Han Ling would say more, he wanted to know.

Han Ling noticed Yong Xiang's gaze and looked at Yong Xiang: "You don't know, at that time, he didn't speak. I only know him..." She glanced at Meng Xiu, and Meng Xiu said: "It's okay, you go on Speak."

Han Ling continued: "I thought it was because of his parents, so I wanted to comfort him after the college entrance examination, but he suddenly drank a whole bottle of beer and broke up with me, which scared me."

She patted her heart with lingering fear: "At that time, I was not reconciled. I chased him for a reason. Guess what he said?"

Yongxiang saw that Han Ling was smiling, and Meng Xiu was also smiling, as if this matter, breaking up was not a sad thing.He shook his head.

"He said: 'The game is over,'" Han Ling said.

Han Ling cast a reproachful glance at Meng Xiu: "Do you know how sad I was at that time? The years in high school were just a game with you. I really don't understand how you academic bullies treat others as regulators of your after-school life?"

Meng Xiu stretched out both hands and smiled exaggeratedly, "I'm sorry, I was young and ignorant at that time. Actually, I really didn't think so."

"I know." Han Ling said, "I know."

Her tone lowered, and the atmosphere froze, and the few people were speechless for a while.

Yong Xiang also knew about Meng Xiu's mood at that time.Meng Xiu must still be worried about his parents.

Yong Xiang glanced at Meng Xiu, and Meng Xiu's eyes were full of sadness.Meng Xiu always felt that the death of his parents was his responsibility.

Yong Xiang stretched out his hand and took Meng Xiu's hand.under the table.

Meng Xiu tilted his head to look at Yong Xiang and smiled.

This smile was noticed by Han Ling, and he teased, "You and him are not as simple neighbors as you said, are they?"

Yong Xiang glanced at Han Ling, suddenly shy, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Han Ling looked at Meng Xiu: "I have to keep it a secret?"

Meng Xiu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

Han Ling ate a piece of sushi and swallowed: "Is there anything you can't accept these years?" There was a bit of regret in her eyes, but her tone was still full of smiles, "I know your eyes best, you see a person who likes you It's in the eyes if you don't like it."

Meng Xiu held Yongxiang's hand instead: "Then what if I say we're together?"

Imagination is one thing, reality is another.Han Ling looked at Meng Xiu in surprise, then at Yongxiang who bowed his head, looked at Meng Xiu and said, "Really?"

Meng Xiu nodded: "I don't want to hide it from you, it's true."

Han Ling smiled: "Bless you all."

Yong Xiang raised her head and saw Han Ling wiping the corner of Han Jing's mouth as if covering up, her hair fell down to cover the profile of her face, and Meng Xiu couldn't see Han Ling's expression.But Yong Xiang sat obliquely in front of Han Ling, but saw a little sadness in Han Ling's eyes.

What are you sad about?Yongxiang looked at the relieved Meng Xiu, was it because of Meng Xiu?
