Love is like sugar and marriage is like water

Chapter 24 Meeting a beautiful woman by chance
It turned out that Tang Shu's mother and the girl's mother were high school classmates and out-and-out flower friends, and they occasionally contacted each other.

Most of the content they contacted was about techniques such as planting, growing, and arranging flowers...

While Tang Shu was out for a walk, Tang Shu's mother received a message from the girl's mother.

This time we were not discussing flowers, but the girl's mother had some important litigation disputes and asked Tang Shu's mother for a big favor.

Because Tang Shu's father is an official, the "number one" in the JC department, and is quite powerful... and the fate of her and her children will be determined by those powerful figures.

In order to express her sincere gratitude that cannot be expressed in words, the girl's mother is willing to give Tang Shu's mother three pots of flowers and deliver them to her home.

"No! You're so polite!"

Tang Shu's mother was embarrassed no matter what she said - since it was okay to send flowers, it was unethical to send flowers to her home.

"When my son comes back later, I'll ask him to pick it up!"

she said to the girl's mother.

The girl’s mother couldn’t resist, so she had no choice but to do this——

After a while, Tang Shu came back.

Tang Shu's mother immediately ordered Tang Shu to go to Room 501 of Building C, bring back the three pots of flowers given to her, and verbally explain to the girl's mother that she was willing to do her best for her and asked her to come at any time. Come and play at home.

"What? Room 501, Building C? Isn't that the girl's home?"

When Tang Shu heard this, he couldn't get what he wanted...

ah! ……So fast!

His secret wish to meet that girl came true so quickly and unexpectedly——

This surprised him.

However, he did not reveal his inner excitement——

He ran back to his room first, put on the suit jacket that he thought was very formal, and used a comb to comb his greasy hair that was full of wind shells.

He thought - he should be able to wash his hair!

However, it was too late now... I had to dip a comb in some water and comb my hair from back to front, but a lot of wind husk came out - the metabolism in adolescence is really too strong.

Tang Shu often wears casual clothes at home, although he hates wearing suit jackets.

——But in order to meet that girl and attract her, I can only wear this to look more decent and handsome... even though it's not very comfortable to wear.

Shivering involuntarily, he walked into the door of Room 501, Building C - a "six plus one" building without an elevator.

He climbed up to the fifth floor in one breath and panted in front of the door for a while. After gathering himself, he knocked on the door a few times with his fingers.After waiting for a while, it was a gray-haired old man who came out to greet him.

He guessed that this old man looked like the girl's grandfather or grandfather.

He had high cheekbones, gray temples, and a dull, bronze face.

A pair of eyes that seemed to be depressed, and deep wrinkles on his forehead and temples that he had never seen before, as rough as tree bark.

——A look that has been through many vicissitudes of life.

He held a plate of gnawed fish backbones, closed the small door leading to another room with one foot, looked at Tang Shu with his eyes, and asked intermittently——

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

"Is Aunt Liu at home?" Tang Shu asked.

The Aunt Liu mentioned by Tang Shu was a high school classmate of Tang Shu's mother.

"Dad, who is coming outside?"

A woman inside the door asked in a high-pitched voice - Oh, this old man is the girl's grandfather.

Tang Shu guessed half of it right.

The old man turned around silently and looked at Tang Shu, revealing his worn green woolen army uniform. The yellow buttons on the uniform were particularly dazzling.

After he put the plate on the table, he walked in...

"Dad, who is coming outside the door?" The woman's voice asked again.

"He's a young man and he came to you."

"Okay, invite him in." The woman's voice came again.

"Young man, please go to the living room." The old man said.

He reappeared in front of Tang Shu, picked up the plate from the table and went to the kitchen.

Tang Shu straightened his tight suit jacket a little, smoothed the slightly upturned hair on the back of his head with his fingers, and walked into the living room.

This is a small, somewhat messy room, with only some simple furniture that seems to have been arranged in a hurry.

Sitting on an armchair near the window with one armrest broken off was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, with a round and slightly chubby face, long eyebrows, a very beautiful appearance, and a jade-like look in her eyes. ——

She looks a bit like that girl!
She was wearing a green shabby dress and a variegated woolen scarf around her neck.Her pair of sparkling black eyes were staring at Tang Shu all the time - their gaze was like a torch.

Tang Shu walked up to her slowly and a little panicked, nodded and bowed to her.

"Hello, Aunt Liu!"

"Young man, are you here to get flowers?"

"Yes, Aunt Liu. I am entrusted by my mother to come to see you! Come and get the flowers at the same time."

"Come on, please sit down! When I saw you before, your mother was still in her arms. I didn't expect you to be so grown up now and you are so polite. Please sit down and chat for a while before leaving!"

Tang Shu sat cautiously on the sofa - he conveyed his mother's wishes to her and invited her to come to his house to play when she was free.

Aunt Liu listened carefully to Tang Shu's words...

While using his chubby, red, and seemingly pink fingers, he tapped the glass coffee table calmly and from time to time - as if he was making up his mind to do something big.

After Tang Shu finished speaking, Aunt Liu stared at Tang Shu intently again.

"Okay! Thank you for your kind invitation. I will definitely visit your mother at your home. You live in Building B, right? That's a building where rich people live!" Aunt Liu said.

"Well, but..."

Aunt Liu's last words made Tang Shu feel a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

"You are so young! How old are you?"

"I...I just turned 17 this year..." Tang Shu replied involuntarily.

Aunt Liu took her cold black phone with a black screen and a white casing from the coffee table, brought the blurry screen to her nose, and started flipping through the pages.

——It seems that her eyes are highly myopic.

"This is such a beautiful age!"

Aunt Liu said suddenly while sitting on the slightly worn armchair and turning her slightly fat body uneasily.

"You, please don't be polite. Just order whatever you want when you come to my place, just like at home. Come, Auntie will peel an apple for you to eat."

After saying that, he put down his phone, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and started peeling it.

"She's too polite!" Tang Shu thought to himself, glancing at her with an involuntary favorable impression.

At this moment, another door of the living room suddenly opened. Standing at the door was a beautiful, pure, shy and lovely girl - she was the girl Tang Shu saw in the garden the day before.

Wearing a pink home-style pajamas, she raised a slender little hand and waved it to Tang Shu as a greeting to the guest. At the same time, a playful but not cruel, almost mocking smile appeared on her face.

Tang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt excited in his heart - he couldn't help but marvel at her elegant and graceful light.

"This is my daughter, her name is Song Jie."

Aunt Liu pointed at the girl with her elbow and said.

"Xiaojie, this is the son of my high school classmate and a neighbor in our community."

After saying that, he turned around and asked Tang Shu: "Young man, what is your name?"

"My name is Tang Shu, which means 'Shu' for 'comfortable'."

After Tang Shu finished speaking, he stood up and answered a little slurred with excitement.

"Then what is your father's name?"

Aunt Liu handed the peeled apple to Tang Shu and asked Tang Shu to eat it with her eyes.

Tang Shu took it and put the apple on the coffee table.

"My father's name is Tang Kui. Thank you aunt for the apple, I don't want to eat it yet."

"It's okay, you can eat whatever you want...that's right! I heard that your father is the JC director, right?"

"Um……"

The young and beautiful girl narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her slightly tilted head, and continued to look straight at Tang Shu with her clear, bright and expressive big eyes with the same smile she had before.

……

"Mom, I have already met Tang Shu."

Song Jie spoke, and the string of silver bell-like sounds caused a sweet shiver in Tang Shu.

After that, he turned to Tang Shu and said, "Do you allow me to call you Tang Shu?"

"Of course, my nickname is Shu Shu, you can call me whatever you want!"

"Haha, what a nice name - Shu Shu...it's a bit interesting...it sounds really comfortable."

"Where have you seen him?" Aunt Liu asked.

Song Jie did not answer her mother, but asked Tang Shu——

"Do you have time right now?"

She looked at Tang Shu intently and said.

"I'm fine."

"Have you ever learned the violin? Come, come to me, I will play the violin for you."

Song Jie nodded towards Tang Shu and walked out of the living room.

Tang Shu followed Song Jie and walked out.

The room they entered was Song Jie's boudoir. The furniture was slightly better and the decoration was relatively elegant.

However, at this moment, Tang Shu didn't pay much attention to almost anything in the room——

He moved about the room as if in a dream, feeling an almost silly, nervous, sweet feeling of happiness throughout his body.

Song Jie took down the violin from the wall and asked Tang Shu to sit on a chair opposite her.After that, I carefully and affectionately started playing the music score on the music stand...
