In the evening, after delivering takeout for the day, on the way back to the rental house, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
「如果没有跟林小雨分手，现在应该谈婚论嫁了，说不定孩子都怀上了。」
只可惜我尝试了几次，连车都买了，她还是不愿意跟我和好。
Back at the rental house, the roommates have all rested. I sat on the sofa in the living room, flipped through my address book, and dialed the number of a pliers classmate from elementary school.
"Chen Hao, why do you have time to call me?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Didn't I see pigs being sold in your circle of friends? Take care of your business." I went straight to the point.
"Buying a pig? Aren't you living in the city?" Pliers was a little puzzled.
"It's my dad's fiftieth birthday in a few days, and I want to buy a pig to have fun with my relatives." I expressed my thoughts.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Pliers readily agreed.
又聊了几句，最后我问了一下：「现在买一头猪多少钱？」
「要看猪的大小，两百多斤左右，不会超过两千。钱的事不急，到时候再说。」钳子说完就挂了电话。
I looked at the screen of my phone, thinking that it would be the same when I went back to my hometown to check out with him in person.
After taking a shower, I went to Lin Xiaoyu’s room. I had to explain my girlfriend's affairs when I returned home, and I was worried.
Lin Xiaoyu woke up as soon as I came in, and my plan to hug her secretly fell through.
"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Lin Xiaoyu asked in a daze.
"This is for family members." I said and sat down beside her bed.
"It's so late and you're not going to sleep. Why did you come to my room?" Xiao Yu rubbed her eyes.
"A while ago I pretended to be your boyfriend to help you deal with your family. Now I also need you to pretend to be my girlfriend to deal with my family." I quickly explained my purpose for fear of being kicked out by Xiao Yu.
Then I briefly told Lin Xiaoyu about my father’s fiftieth birthday.
Lin Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then agreed: "Okay, I'll just return the favor to you."
She agreed more easily than expected, which made me feel even worse.
I almost couldn't help but ask her if there was still a possibility for us, but I swallowed the words again.
I know how she will answer, and I don’t want to bring trouble to myself.
"Then it's settled. Good night!" I stood up, not daring to look at her again.
As she closed the door, I heard her say softly: "Go to rest early."
I turned around and almost bumped into Han Mengyao, who was wearing cool pajamas.
She had obviously just woken up. The straps of her pajamas fell down to her arms. She was a little curious when she saw me coming out of Lin Xiaoyu's room.
"Have you... reconciled?"
I denied and responded: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking her for a favor."
Han Mengyao nodded thoughtfully: "That's right."
She seemed to understand something, but she seemed to see through it without saying anything, "Then I'll go back to sleep."
The next morning.
I woke up and saw that it was Su Yan. I was speechless: "Can you get off me first?"
Su Yan leaned directly on me and asked, "I heard that you are taking Xiaoyu back to your hometown to meet your parents?"
"I went back with her to deal with my father's urge to get married." This reason is reasonable.
"I don't care! I want to go too! The countryside must be fun!" Su Yan had a little temper.
"Stop making trouble, we're not going on a trip." I don't really want to take Su Yan with me.
“Then I can be Xiaoyu’s best friend! Just say that I am going with her!” She became more and more excited as she spoke.
I really can’t stand it. In the morning, when men are most angry, Su Yan was still rubbing against me.
She had obviously sensed my abnormality, but she still looked at me with a wicked smile and refused to come down.
Hence, I could only agree: "Okay, OK, I'll take you with me!"
"That's pretty much it!" Su Yan's plot succeeded, and she got out of bed with satisfaction.
After breakfast, I went to the takeout site to ask for leave from the webmaster, saying I wanted to go back to my hometown.
Sure enough, I had just accompanied Lin Xiaoyu back to her hometown a while ago, and now I was invited again, and the webmaster scolded me bloody.
But after spending a long time, he finally approved the leave.
As soon as I walked out of the office, I happened to bump into my colleague He Shiyu.
She seemed to have heard my request for leave and asked softly: "Are you going back to your hometown again?"
Before I could answer, He Shiyu added in a low voice: "This time, I am going back. Going on a blind date? "
I responded vaguely: "I haven't been back for a while, I miss home."
"That's right, I should go back and have a look!" He Shiyu said implicitly.
After taking leave and packing everything, the three of us were ready to set off.
I drove my newly bought BYD and drove them out of the city.
Su Yan excitedly occupied the passenger seat as soon as she got in the car. She chatted non-stop, sometimes adjusting the music, and sometimes taking photos of the scenery outside the window.
Lin Xiaoyu sat quietly in the back seat, occasionally looking out the window, and occasionally looking down at her phone.
After driving for about an hour, the initial excitement passed and the car became a little quieter.
Su Yan suddenly slapped her forehead. She turned to me with a sad face: "It's over! In my pleasure, I forgot to buy gifts for your family! It's my first time to come to the house empty-handed!" I glanced at Lin Xiaoyu in the rearview mirror. She seemed to want to see how I would answer.
"I told you a long time ago that you don't need to buy it. I just go back and have a look, it's not that particular. My parents don't care about these false gifts."
Su Yan looked a little annoyed: "How can that be done! Impression points are very important! When we get to the service area, I have to go down and see what I can buy."
I interrupted her, "The things in the expressway service area are expensive and have no special features. My parents think you are spending money indiscriminately."
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu, who had been quiet in the back seat, spoke softly: "I'm ready. Some small gifts, I don’t know if they are appropriate or not."
I bought a kitchen apron and a rice cooker for my aunt. I brought two boxes of local specialty tea to my uncle...I put them in the trunk. Smoking is not good for my health, so I didn’t give them."
I looked at her slightly uneasy and sincere eyes in the rearview mirror, and I felt like something hit me.
She is always like this, quiet, careful, considerate, and thinks about everything so thoughtfully.
At that moment, an idea popped up uncontrollably: It would be great if she was really my girlfriend.
这次回家，要是没有苏妍在旁边咋咋呼呼，而是我和她，像一对真正的情侣那样，带着她精心准备的礼物，一起回去见我爸妈……
「哇！小雨你也太贴心了吧！」苏妍的惊呼打破了车里的沉默。
I looked away and thought to myself: "Work harder to make Lin Xiaoyu a real girlfriend."
