As We Have Met Before Chapter 8

On Saturday morning, Elliot pushed open the door of Jiang Yuman's room and whispered: "Mom..."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuman quickly typed down a string of characters, put down the work at hand, closed the notebook and looked at Elliot with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Elliot pursed her lips and said softly: "I, can I go out for a while?"

Jiang Yuman was greatly surprised and said with a smile: "Of course, what do you want to do? Will I accompany you?"

Elliot shook her head and whispered: "Go to your classmate's house."

Jiang Yuman was even more surprised now. He laughed and said, "Going to a classmate's house? Which classmate?"

"Just... my deskmate." Hai Xiu said and smiled, "The classmate I just met..."

Jiang Yuman suppressed the surprise in her heart and said in a gentle tone: "New friends?"

Elliot said softly, "Yeah", with a little excitement in her eyes.

Jiang Yuman had some laugh lines at the corners of his eyes, and he smiled and joked, "Is she a girl?"

Elliot shook her head: "Male...boy."

Jiang Yuman smiled and said, "That's right. When are you going out? Mom, let me see you off." Jiang Yuman said that he was about to change clothes. Elliot quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, no, he'll pick me up."

Jiang Yuman said in surprise: "Pick you up?"

Elliot nodded: "Well, he said it's difficult to get around to his house, and he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find him."

Jiang Yuman was even more curious now. Two boys were playing together, and one was picking up the other?

Jiang Yuman had something to do in the morning and had to go to the company for a while. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll cut some fruit. When someone comes later, let him come in and have something to eat before leaving."

Hai Xiu was a little hesitant. This was different from the previous agreement he had made with Finn Feng. The agreement was that Finn Feng would call him when he came and he would go downstairs together. In this way... Hai Xiu thought for a moment and said : "I...I'll call him and ask him."

Jiang Yuman nodded: "It should be."

Elliot went back to her room, picked up her cell phone and thought for a moment to call. The call was quickly picked up. There was a smile in Finn Feng's voice on the phone: "Can't wait? I'll be there soon."

Hai Xiu blushed for some reason after hearing Finn Feng's voice. He lowered his voice and said, "I... my mother wants to invite you. Please come up and sit down for a while. Okay... okay?"

Finn Feng on the other end of the phone paused for a second, and then said relaxedly: "Of course, what's the matter...you didn't plan to entertain me a little bit?"

At the same moment, downstairs of Elliot Community, in a car that had just entered the community, Finn Feng took off his sunglasses, turned quickly, and talked to Elliot on the phone while driving, "What does your mother like?"

Elliot on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned and said stupidly: "You like me."

Finn Feng laughed out loud. He multitasked and scanned around the shops along the street. His eyes lit up. He parked the car on the side of the road, took the keys, got out and closed the door. He continued: "Besides liking you? She likes flowers the most. What kind?"

Over there, Elliot said: "White Hydrangea, you... why are you asking this?"

"Nothing to do." Finn Feng smiled softly, "I'll be there in ten minutes, hang up first."

Finn Feng said to the waiter at the flower shop: "A bouquet of white hydrangeas, please keep it simple."

Ten minutes later, the door of Elliot's house rang as expected.

"Oops." Jiang Yuman looked at the flowers Finn Feng handed her and said with disapproval, "Why are you so polite? You still have to spend money."

"I didn't spend any money, I grew them at home." Finn Feng smiled cleanly, "I heard from Elliot before that you like hydrangeas. I happened to grow some at home. I didn't have anything else to give, so I cut some and brought them. Hello, aunt." "

Jiang Yuman looked at Elliot with a smile, and greeted Finn Feng with a smile: "Sit down quickly and eat some fruit. Elliot will get some drinks for your classmate, and I will find a vase and put the flowers on it."

Jiang Yuman was bottling the flowers. Elliot looked at Finn Feng in disbelief and said, "You, how did you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Finn Feng raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "I haven't told you yet, and I didn't tell you in advance. I'll settle the score with you later." Finn Feng didn't know that he had to go upstairs. Seeing Jiang Yuman's preparations, even if he didn't bring a gift, he still drove here. Jiang Yuman would be worried if he knew about it. After buying flowers just now, Finn Feng stopped driving and walked all the way.

Elliot still couldn't react, and said in surprise: "Hua, Hua is..."

Finn Feng made a "shh" gesture, indicating that he would wait until he came back. Finn Feng ate two pieces of dragon fruit and said, "Have you done your homework?"

Elliot nodded: "It was done last night." Thinking that she would go to Finn Feng's house to play today, Elliot kicked out her homework early.

"So fast?" Finn Feng raised his chin, "Take everything with you. I'll copy it tonight."

Elliot frowned: "Copied again..."

"Tsk..." Finn Feng said helplessly, "I just copy Chinese, that's okay?"

This was okay, but in case Finn Feng really couldn't finish it, Elliot still packed up all the homework.

"Where is Elliot?" Jiang Yuman took out the flowers and said with an apologetic smile, "Why are you here by yourself, kid?"

Finn Feng smiled: "It's okay, he...he went to pack the textbooks and said he wanted to review together in the evening." Finn Feng looked at Jiang Yuman sincerely, "Is that okay? I just asked him, do you Can you allow him to spend the night at our house?"

Jiang Yuman asked unexpectedly: "Sleep overnight?"

"Yes, hasn't he told you yet?" Finn Feng said, his face not red but his heart not beating, "We will have lunch together after we go home, play video games after lunch, and read a book together in the evening. If the weather is good tomorrow morning, we can play video games for a while. ball."

Finn Feng smiled: "I'm afraid you might think it's delaying his study time."

"How is that possible?" If Elliot could really have such normal communication and fun with her classmates, it would be worth the extra study time. Jiang Yuman couldn't ask for it, but she still had some concerns, "Our Elliot has been a bit introverted since she was a child. , I have been worried about him... I am also too strict with him, so he has never had any friends. It's really..."

Finn Feng understood that Jiang Yuman was afraid that he would know about Elliot's illness, and said, "I'm a bit introverted, and I'm more extroverted, but we quite hit it off."

Finn Feng wore a white shirt today, paired with beige loose casual pants, and clean skateboard shoes on his feet, which made him feel warm and sunny. After talking to him for a while, Jiang Yuman's liking for him doubled. , thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, you two just have fun, but it's too troublesome for your parents."

Finn Feng thought to himself that neither of them knew who was coming to the house, so it was really no trouble. Finn Feng looked as usual: "You're too polite, I can't say it's trouble."

Elliot came out while they were talking. Finn Feng stood up and said, "Have you packed it up?"

Elliot nodded, and before he could speak, Finn Feng said to Jiang Yuman, "Auntie, let's go first?"

Jiang Yuman agreed wholeheartedly and said with a smile, "Say hello to your parents for me."

Jiang Yuman looked at Elliot and asked gently: "Be sensible when you go to someone else's house. You should call people when you should call them, and say hello when you should. Look at Finn Feng and learn from them."

Feng Feixiao lowered his head and smiled, and Hai Xiu agreed in a low voice. Jiang Yuman also wanted to bring something for Finn Feng's parents. Finn Feng said hurriedly: "Don't bother. We can go there by subway. It's not convenient to carry too many things."

Jiang Yuman was still a little worried, so she warned Elliot for half a day before letting them go downstairs.

After going downstairs, Finn Feng breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to say something, Elliot suddenly said: "It's broken! I...I forgot to bring my subway card!"

"If you forget, forget about it." Finn Feng also thought, "I thought you had to wait until the end to tell your mother, and you took the initiative to tell your mother this morning?"

Elliot nodded: "I...my mother agreed."

"Seeing as how reliable I am, of course I agree." After leaving the community, Finn Feng took Elliot's schoolbag and carried it on his back, "Stand here and don't move. I'll drive over in a few minutes."

Finn Feng's home was a bit far away. Finn Feng was afraid that Hai Xiu would be bored. When he was waiting at the red light, he took the bag from the back seat and handed it to Hai Xiu and said, "There is my tablet in the bag. Boring, you can play with it for a while."

Elliot took out her tablet, looked at the photo of the two of them on the screen and was shocked: "This... when was this taken?!"

On the screen, Hai Xiu was lying on the table and fell asleep. Finn Feng was behind him with a smirk and made a bunny head on his head with his hand. It should have been taken at noon. The light in the photo was gentle, and the French plane tree crown outside the window behind them was It's golden and feels a bit fruitful.

"You fell asleep at noon that day." The car in front moved, and Finn Feng started the car, "How was it? I took a good picture, right?"

Elliot smiled and didn't answer. She opened the webpage and looked at the tablet.

Finn Feng turned his head and looked at him, watching him holding his schoolbag and playing with his tablet. The car was quiet and warm, and it felt like the tranquility of the years was inexplicable.

"Li...Li Bai..."

Finn Feng was confused: "Huh?"

"Li Bai's verses in "Sleepwalking Tianmu's Song of Farewell" express his... his contempt for the thoughts of the powerful..." Elliot found the college entrance examination question bank and started asking questions seriously from the first page, " Which sentence is it? "

Finn Feng closed his eyes. The original warmth in his heart completely dissipated, leaving only the tragedy of his family, country and the world, and the sadness of caring for the people. He overtook the car in front and said with an expressionless face: "An Neng is so embarrassed." The rich and powerful make me unhappy."

Elliot said happily: "You got it wrong last time in the monthly test. Finally... I finally remembered it. The next question is about Du Fu. In... "Ascend the Yueyang Tower", Du Fu has a personal life experience. The poem that describes the national crisis and makes people cry is..."

Finn Feng gritted his teeth and said: "The army will pass through Pingxuan Tisi River in the north of the mountain!"

"How do you write the word "Tisi"?

"Three points of water plus a younger brother's younger brother, a four of one, two, three, four!"
