Chapter 158: A cousin destined for tragedy It's a rare Saturday when he doesn't have to be a tutor, Xu Tingsheng was thinking about who to find for dinner after finishing his work, and by the way, he went to Hucheng's office in the evening to have a look.
The phone rang, and the screen showed that the call was from the Xiang family.
"It's hard to ask for a tutor at night" Xu Tingsheng hurriedly picked up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, it was Xiang's mother.
"Auntie, is it that Xiang Ning and I made a mistake, and the tutor at night still needs it," Xu Tingsheng hurriedly asked.
Xiang's mother smiled and said, "No, Xiao Ning is still rehearsing at school, and it will take a while for his father to pick her up."
The two of us, I just want to ask you to come over to the house for a meal, thank you, Xiao Ning has made such a big progress in this midterm exam, look, are you free?"
Xiang's mother said that she wanted to thank Xu Tingsheng, but didn't she thank her a long time ago, Xu Tingsheng also drank with Xiang's father that day.
Xu Tingsheng was a little confused, but the person who asked him if he was free was Xiang's mother, there is no doubt that Xu Tingsheng had to be free if he was not available.
That's my future mother-in-law.
"I'm free, Auntie, wait a while, I'll be right away."
Xu Tingsheng hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went out, and took a taxi directly to Xiang's house in a "luxurious" way. hurried all the way, until he entered the living room, Xu Tingsheng felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and there was still a person sitting in the living room, a girl who looked like a college student.
"Tingsheng, sit."
Xiang's mother greeted warmly, "Let me introduce you, this is my cousin's daughter, my niece, that is, Xiao Ning's cousin, Li Meng."
She's in a college town with you," "Hello, my name is Xu Tingsheng."
Hearing that it was a relative of the Xiang family, Xu Tingsheng politely said hello.
"Hello, I know you, my name is Li Meng."
The girl said with a smile.
Xiang's mother stood next to her and looked at it, and said, "Then you can talk first, and I'll go cook."
After speaking, Xiang's mother turned around and walked to the kitchen, walked to the door and turned around to greet him: "Xiao Ning Dad, why are you stunned, come to the kitchen to help me." ” As soon as Xiang's father left, Xu Tingsheng's speculation in his heart was confirmed, and he wanted to cry without tears, which meant that his future parents-in-law wanted to push him to someone else's house.
The girl in front of her, Xiang Ning's cousin, doesn't look too similar to Xiang Ning, after all, she is only the daughter of Xiang's mother's cousin, but on the whole, she should be considered a beauty.
The question is what is the use of beauty, not to mention that it is just a beauty, even if it is beautiful, is it comparable to AE "I wanted to soak other people's daughters, but I was kicked to my niece."
Xu Tingsheng was in a heavy mood now and didn't want to speak.
However, this girl named Li Meng seems to be extroverted, enthusiastic and talkative, and took the initiative to talk to Xu Tingsheng.
"I'm a sophomore at the School of Science and Technology, and I've heard a lot about you lately.
I came to my cousin's house to play today, and I realized that it was so coincidental that you happened to be the tutor of our Xiaoning, so I was fortunate to meet me for the first time, and I was honored and happy.
Li Meng said politely.
"Thank you."
Xu Tingsheng responded simply and politely, and stopped talking, if it weren't for Xiang's mother's arrangement, the person in front of him was a relative of the Xiang family, he really didn't want to speak.
However, he actually had a lot of words in his heart: "What do you call your family Xiang Ning, is that my family's good What is a coincidence, as soon as I look at Xiang's mother's attitude and expression, and deliberately asked me to come to the house for dinner, I know that this matter is not so ordinary, okay, I am very heavy now, I am not happy, I want to be quiet," Li Meng only thought Xu Tingsheng was embarrassed, and took the initiative to continue: "Everyone is very curious about you, and so am I."
In addition to history and entrepreneurship, what do you like?"
"What do you like, what do you like, and what do you like about your cousin?"
Xu Tingsheng roared in his heart.
But when he really spoke, he could only say: "I don't really have any hobbies, they're all quite ordinary, and I don't really like anything special."
After speaking, he still silently added in his heart: "Except for your cousin." ” In the kitchen, Xiang's father carefully pulled Xiang's mother's apron and whispered, "You're not good, both children are still in college." ” Xiang's mother glanced at Xiang's father, revealing a rare and strange expression: "What's this, now that high school students are in love, it's not early for college at all."
Besides, my cousin has called, can I not help?"
If Xu Tingsheng heard this, he would probably be excited, it turns out that Xiang's mother is so open-minded, does that mean that when Xiang Ning goes to high school, he can start In fact, many people say that others are one thing, and doing it yourself is another.
Dad Xiang muttered for a while, saying that Tingsheng's child is indeed good, sensible, and capable, Xiang's mother took the words: "It's not, you didn't listen to what Li Meng just told us, Manxishan University Town, girls who like Tingsheng can come to our door."
Therefore, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ” Xu Tingsheng couldn't hear this, and when he heard it, he had to cry and grab the ground: Auntie, don't you have a mouth field in your own family Although it is still a little younger, I don't mind waiting In the living room, no matter how cold Xu Tingsheng was, at least he had to be polite.
Therefore, Li Meng didn't stop, and she had almost finished telling her true hobbies and fake hobbies all the way.
"What books do you usually like to read, and which writers do you like?"
asked Li Meng.
"I usually like to play games, but I don't read much."
Xu Tingsheng replied.
"Oh, I love Haruki Murakami, and I've been waiting to see him win the Nobel Prize in Literature."
"Do you like to watch movies, which actor do you like the most?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
asked Li Meng.
"Notting Hill, Hugh Grant."
Xu Tingsheng replied.
"After watching Titanic, I especially like Leonardo DiCaprio, I think although he is a young student now, he actually has good acting skills, and he will definitely win the Oscar soon."
"I heard that you like football, and I heard my classmates talk about the game between your school and our school."
Li Meng asked.
"I like it."
Xu Tingsheng replied.
"My dad is also very fond of football, so I watched it once in a while and I liked the Dutch team, and I think they will definitely win the World Cup next tournament."
Obviously, Li Meng doesn't really know much about football, and he is deliberately looking for a topic.
At this point in the conversation, even Xu Tingsheng was a little sympathetic to the cousin Xiang Ning in front of him, "Sister, you are doomed to tragedy." ” Xu Tingsheng came back from 2015 and knew that in those years, Haruki Murakami failed to win the Nobel Prize in Literature again and again, Xiao Lizi failed to hit the Oscar for Best Actor again and again, and the Dutch team lost to the World Cup championship again and again.
"It's so coincidental that they all make you like it, and look forward to it, is this the ultimate reason for their hardships and pains?"
"Come, let's eat first."
Zheng Chou didn't know how to continue the topic, Xiang's mother beckoned to eat, and Xu Tingsheng was relieved.
After eating, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Xiang's mother, and it took more than an hour to come out.
Not long after he returned to the living room, Xiang's father took Xiang Ning back.
"Teacher Da Xu."
Xiao Xiang Ning shouted happily.
Xu Tingsheng was also very happy, because next, with the little girl chattering about her rehearsals and saying that the reincarnation band was going to participate in the school celebration performance, Xu Tingsheng finally didn't have to deal with Li Meng awkwardly.
It's a pity that after chatting for a while, Xiang Ning was called away by Xiang's mother with an excuse.
Taking advantage of no one, Xiang's mother secretly told Xiang Ning the reason why she invited Xu Tingsheng to her house today, which was to introduce him to your cousin and tell her not to make trouble.
Suddenly, Xiao Xiang Ning had a feeling that she couldn't tell, anyway, she was unhappy.
Therefore, for the next time, Xiao Xiang Ning, who was supposed to be doing the problem alone in the study, would run out every few minutes.
"Teacher Xu, I won't do this question."
"Teacher Xu, I'm ready to write the dictation I said last time, or I'll write it today." “” The fifteen-year-old girl didn't think too much about it, but she just knew that when she did this, when she kept interrupting the chat between her uncle and cousin, the unhappy ones in her heart were much better.
Xiang's mother secretly glared at Xiang Ning several times, but Xiang Ning stubbornly pretended not to see it.
Finally, when Xiang Ning asked another question, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to say: "I see that you basically don't understand this, so let's go to the study and I'll explain it to you completely." ” "Uh-huh."
Xiao Xiangning's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.
Xu Tingsheng was originally just Xiang Ning's tutor, and now he is concerned about Xiang Ning's study, Xiang's mother naturally has nothing to say, so she has to sit down and chat with Li Meng.
In the study, Xu Tingsheng and Xiang Ning didn't mention the things in the living room, didn't mention her cousin, and didn't mention Xiang's mother's obvious intentions, so they just talked and listened seriously.
At this moment, the inner thoughts of the two people are actually very similar.
Xiang Ning actually didn't know what her psychology was, and she didn't want to think about it, anyway, she was unhappy just now, but now she is happy.
Xu Tingsheng is also not sure what kind of psychology Xiang Ning is, after all, she is still young, is she jealous, does she like it, or is it just the possessiveness of a child, just like treating her favorite toy, afraid of being snatched away.
After class, Xu Tingsheng also arrived at the time to return to school, and Xiang's mother sent him out of the door.
Seeing that Xiang's mother wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to say: "Auntie, that, in fact, I have someone I like." ” :
