Chapter 154: Come, let your partner wear it and see if it fits
The car drove along the winding mountain road for a while. Xie Qin held the steering wheel steadily, his peripheral attention always falling on Shen Li in the passenger seat. Behind the black off-road vehicle, two more cars followed.
Originally, the back of the car could hold two people, but they said they didn't want to follow and eat dog food.
Xu Zhouyuan and Zhou Mingyu got two cars to drive.
Today happened to be Saturday, and they could play here for two days.
When Shen Li said she wanted to see snow, she remembered it was several months ago. She didn't expect them to still remember.
Whether to see this snow or not, Shen Li felt it was quite indifferent, and she didn't care much about these things.
It should be said that many things were not worth her caring about.
She just felt it was dispensable.
If it was with Xie Qin, some things could become different.
It snowed last night, and the mountain wilderness was covered in silver.
Driving into a Daming Mountain Yunqi Courtyard, the car stopped. Shen Li opened the car door and got out. A clear, cold air wrapped in plain snow rushed toward her face.
Xie Qin pulled out the car key, stepped forward to hold her hand, and walked toward the lobby of the homestay.
The rooms were all booked. There were four rooms in total. Xie Qin and Shen Li lived separately, Xu Zhouyuan and Zhang Zixin lived in one room, and Zhou Mingyu and Qiao Lang lived in a double bed.
Xu Zhouyuan got the room card from the counter, "What kind of pure love are you two pretending to be, what's wrong with sleeping in one room, it's not like you won't sleep together in the future."
Shen Li stood beside Xie Qin and looked at him sideways.
Xie Qin took two room cards from her hand, with arrogance in his eyes, and his posture was idle and owed, "I have money, so I like to book two rooms."
"Then it seems your relationship is just average!" Xu Zhouyuan deliberately wanted to show off in front of Xie Qin, hugged Zhang Zixin's waist intimately, brought her to his side, and there was a bit of provocation in his tone: "Unlike me and my Xinxin, it's very warm to hug and sleep together at night."
However, Xie Qin ignored his "elementary school student" behavior.
He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, held Shen Li, and went upstairs first.
Shen Li's room was next to his. Xie Qin sent her into the room first, and when the door opened, he followed her in.
The room had heating on, so it wasn't too cold.
Shen Li put down her bag, suddenly remembered something, and sat on the sofa, "Xie Qin, come over here."
Xie Qin took off his black coat, sat down beside her at once, crossed his legs, and put his hands on the sofa casually, his body facing her, using a respectful title: "You speak."
Shen Li took out the wrapped gift box and gave it to him: "I originally wanted to give it to you last night, but seeing you were drunk, I wasn't in a hurry to give it to you."
Xie Qin looked at her, then at the gift in her hand, raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"
Shen Li: "You open it and you'll know."
"Then I'll take a look." Xie Qin moved his body, took it from her hand, and when he opened it, it was a pair of knitted black gloves. He looked up and stared at her, "You knitted it?"
Shen Li pursed her lips and shook her head: "I don't know how, I asked Grandma to knit it."
Xie Qin curved his lips and smiled lightly, with pleasure in his eyes, "I thought I couldn't be seen in public, even your grandma knows we are dating?"
Shen Li shook her head and told him seriously: "I haven't told Grandma that we are dating yet, I just told Grandma that I have a very good friend who is having a birthday, and Grandma helped me knit a pair. I have a pair that is the same, just a different color."
Her pair of gloves was blue.
Xie Qin wore black all year round, dark-style clothes, so she asked Grandma to knit him black, not afraid of getting dirty.
Xie Qin lay lazily on the sofa, supporting his head with his hand, looking at her idly, "Oh~ then I still can't be seen in public."
"It's not like that, I just feel we are still young, we should focus on our studies, my family is also strict with me, it's just temporarily not telling them about this."
Shen Li was afraid he would be angry, so she explained to him, but he didn't seem very angry either.
Their family environments were different. Xie Qin was a rich family child, his mom and dad were also very accommodating to him, their thoughts were also very open, and they didn't restrain him that much.
Her family were all teachers, their thoughts were traditional, and they felt that dating at ten-something wasn't a good thing.
She wanted to wait until she got into university next year, when everything was almost done, before telling Grandma about this.
At that time, she thought Grandma wouldn't disagree.
Xie Qin saw her serious expression and reached out to pinch her face with a smile, "Just kidding with you."
"Please, tell her, I like it very much."
Shen Li pursed her lips into an arc and nodded, "I will tell her."
"Come, let your partner wear it and see if it fits."
"Mm."
Shen Li sat closer to him and helped him put it on carefully. Suddenly she asked: "Xie Qin."
Xie Qin: "Speak."
Shen Li lowered her eyelids, "Does your family know we are dating?"
This matter actually wasn't anything to ask, but she wanted to know a bit.
Would his family reject, or not like, them dating.
Xie Qin didn't hide it and admitted generously: "Mm, they know, what's wrong?"
He raised his eyes and looked at her with interest, "Want to meet the parents?"
Shen Li hadn't said "No" yet.
Xie Qin spoke for himself: "They indeed wanted to meet, but I refused."
Shen Li asked curiously: "Why?"
Xie Qin: "Afraid you'll find it annoying."
He went back once, and he found it annoying himself.
"I won't, they are your mom and dad." Shen Li put one on for him, "Is it comfortable to wear? Is it too tight?"
Xie Qin: "Put the other one on too, let me feel it."
Shen Li: "Mm."
After the other one was put on too.
"It's okay, quite comfortable."
Shen Li: "Remember to wear them when you go out in the future, it's quite cold recently."
Now it was indoors, not very cold, so she took them off for him, put them in her bag temporarily, and would give them to him when they went back.
"Shen Li~" He was still in that lazy posture, dragging his tail, calling her name.
Shen Li: "Mm?"
"Come over, I'll hold you and talk."
She listened to him and sat over, leaning on him.
Xie Qin lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her soft hair, word by word: "We still have a long time, we can take it slowly. My family side~ it's all up to me. They can't control it. You don't need to worry about whether it's easy to get along with."
"I'm just afraid of your side, you know."
After talking for a long time, Shen Li didn't quite understand his meaning. She looked up, met his pair of pitch-black eyes, and waited for him to continue.
Xie Qin stared at her eyes and continued: "I'm afraid your family will hit me."
Involving family members was always a question that couldn't be answered.
"How much... do they control you?"
"Are they... good to you?"
Thinking of them, Shen Li always had an indescribable dullness and oppression in her heart. However, these emotions had faded a bit compared to before, not so intense.
Are they good?
Shen Li couldn't say, perhaps they were good. In terms of material things, they had never treated her badly.
Providing her with food and clothing, providing her with schooling.
She also went to the best high school.
The annual tuition also cost a lot of money.
It was just that she didn't live as easily as Shen Zhaozhao.
