August is the hottest season. Even the sun has set but the air is still hot. During the hot weather, there’s a lot of mosquitos. He Shu E just stands there for a while and notices that mosquitos are biting her skin.
Jing Zong is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. How can he endure it.
She notices the cigarette butts near the location where he stood before. One, two, three,....... seven cigarette butts.
“There’s a lot of mosquitos, why are you standing outside? You aren’t afraid of mosquitos’ bite?”
“I am missing you so I don’t feel anything else.”
“......”
These words sound fake but Jing Zong says it with his calm and serious deanor.
He Shu E watches his face in attempt to know whether he is joking or not.
Pak......
A light slap pulls her back from her thought. She feels a light pain on her leg. Jing Zong slaps the mosquito on her leg for her.
“Let’s get in.” Jing Zong takes He Shu E’s bag and holds her to get inside the house.
Jing Zong helps her too to take off her high heels and puts it on the shoe-shelf.
“Thank you.”
Nian Nian pees on his pant, Ye Qing Xin is carrying him with one of her hand. She is going to take him upstair to change her diaper. She notices Jing Zong and He Shu E, she also notices that they are holding hands. She smiles and greets them. “Pa, Ma.”
He Shu E is embarrassed to see Ye Qing Xin. She lets go of Jing Zong’s hand. Then she cos forward to see Nian Nian. “What happened, why are you carrying him like this?”
“He pees on his pant, I am going to change his pants.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Ye Qing Xin refuses. “You and Pa can sit down there. Lu Shu Shu and his family are here too. I can do this by myself.”
In the living room area, Jing family mbers are accompanying Lu family mbers to chat. Except the silent Jing Fen Fen, everyone is laughing and chatting happily.
Lu family is a family with literary reputation. Lu You Yan’s parents are educated people. They have two sons and one daughter. Except their daughter, who is marrying and staying abroad. Their eldest son with his family are here too.
This dinner gathering is the dinner that Old Mada Jing holds for Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yan. Lu You Yan is an impressive looking man, he is so handso and tall. He has a darker skin but it doesn’t damage his handso appearance.
He is arranged to sit down beside JIng Fen Fen. He is smiling and his eyes are bright.
He Shu E has an impression toward Lu family though she is not familiar with them. She greets them and sits down on the single-seat sofa. Jing Zong sits down on the armrest of the sofa.
Jing Si is in Jing City too so she is called by Old Mada Jing to have dinner at ho. She takes Ye Lin with her too. Ye Lin and Ye Qing Guo are playing ga.
Mother Lu looks at Ye Qing Guo, Ye Qing Xin just cos down again with Nian Nian in her hold. She notices Mother Lu is looking at Ye Qing Guo, she smiles: “Lu Shen Shen (Auntie Lu), do you think my Di Di seems familiar?”
Mother Lu is embarrassed: “Yes a bit, it seems I’ve seen him on TV.”
Jing Suo Suo says: “Now Xiao Guo is the famous one in entertainnt industry. It’s no wonder you have seen him. Last year he was on , I dare to say that everyone, who are from eighteen to eighty years old, has watched his movie. No one doesn’t him.”
“Isn’t it too much?” Ye Qing Xin smiles. “He just acted on a movie. Lu Shen Shen, have you watched the movie?”
has been translated into several languages, it’s a popular movie.
Mother Lu is astonished. “Ive watched it. I have thought that he is like Shen Shen, but I don’t think it’s real.|
Mother Lu’s eldest daughter-in-law speaks up: “Ma is Ye Qing Guo’s loyal fans.”
“I am not really his fans. It’s just I think life is so hard for him. It’s too painful.” Mother Lu looks at Ye Qing Guo.
Ye Qing Xi sits down beside Jing Bo Yuan and just smiles. She says nothing.
The eldest grandson of Lu family just turns five years old. Nian Nian and Zhao Zhao are playing with him. They aren’t afraid of stranger. Mu Mu is sitting alone and playing with building blocks.
The atmosphere is bustling with noise and excitent because of the kids.
They talk for a while then Old Mada Jing shifts the topic of conversation toward Lu You Yuan. “I rember that You Yan is two years older than our Fen Fen. Now he should have a girlfriend or perhaps he is engaged?”
Until now Lu You Yuan is single, Old Mada Jing has probed it out before. She asks this question to make her intention doesn’t seem sudden.
“No, this kid never been in relationship. He is making worry that I cannot sleep peacefully at night. I think he hasn’t t soone that he likes in Swiss. I keep on thinking of waiting till he is back to find soone for him. Two months ago he was assigned by Switzerland embassy to work back at Ministry of Foreign Affairs here. So all of us return ho.
Mother Lu looks at Jing Fen Fen, Jing Xian Xian and Jing Suo Suo. “These three should have boyfriends righ?”
This seems to sohow fit to what Old Mada Jing wants.
“Xian Xian just got engaged last year. She will have her wedding on the National Day. Fen Fen and Suo Suo haven’t had a boyfriend. But Suo Suo is still young, I’m not worried about her. Hehe.......”
Mother Lu looks at Jing Fen Fen. Jing Fen Fen doesn’t do her makeup today. She just wears a short-sleeve shirt and light yellow chiffon skirt. Her hair is long and straight. She is beautiful and elegant.
“This year Fen Fen is thirty years old. She is suitable for our You Yuan.” Mother Lu’s words make both Old Mada Jing and Ji Yi relieve.
Old Mada Jing smiles: “Our Fen Fen also has never been in relationship. She always worked hard at school. After graduated from the university, she keeps on focusing on her work. I always scold her that a woman, who has reached a suitable age, should settle down. You cannot have a good career but be lonely till old. But she doesn’t listen to and keep on hold it.....”
Old Mada Jing said those words, she clearly complains about Jing Fen Fen’s action but she also intends to tell Lu family that Jing Fen Fen is pure.
Indeed, Mother Lu smiles brightly: “She is suitable for our You Yuan. Our You Yuan also has never been in relationship. Their age gap is quite close. It’s suitable..”
Jing Fen Fen just smiles, but actually she really wants to run away.
What did her grandma say?
She looks Lu You Yuan’s hands on his thigh. His hands are long and well-shaped.
She doesn’t expect that a boy that used to cry a lot, now has finally grown up.
JIng Fen Fen has regained herself and she notices that the elders are talking about the triplet of Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin.
Old Mada Jing brags about her Chong Sun Zi (great grandsons), then boasts about her grandson. Then once again she shifts the topic to Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yuan. “I rember that Xin Xin has a lavender manor. It claims to be the East of Provence. I never go there, but I had gone to Provence. It’s beautiful. I think the East of the Provence will also a good place. Tomorrow Fen Fen will take You Yuan to visit there. It’s been years since You Yuan is here.”
“Nai Nai, I have no ti tomorrow, our departnt....” Jing Fen Fen says iwth a smile: “Recently Suo Suo is reading books to prepare for the entrance exam of governnt official. She is free everyday, if not....”
“Then sorry to trouble you.” Lu You Yuan suddenly speaks up to cut her off.
Jing Fen Fen is startled and just gets his intention after a mont. She is unhappy. “You should tell this to Suo Suo, Tomorrow I. ...”
“It’s been decided.” Old Mada Jing acts firmly. “Fen Fen ah, take You Yuan to play around. I’ll tell your Pa about your matter. Don’t worry.”
Jing Fen Fen: “........”
