Mom's Phone Call!
"Boss, here's your money." After finishing her meal, Officer Zhang Ru handed the shopkeeper 50 yuan.
This bowl of noodles only cost 35 yuan, but the two pieces of beef the owner gave us were way too big!
Officer Zhang Ru, a police officer of high moral character, refused to accept a single penny from the people. Therefore, she had to add more money.
Watching silently from the side, Su Qi felt that if her brother could marry Officer Zhang Ru, who had such a strong sense of choice, it would definitely be a great blessing in his life!
Why do I say that?
She has a sweet appearance, a considerate and meticulous personality, strong principles, and will not make unreasonable demands. She is also not pretentious. Most importantly, she is a perfect seductress.
Hmm- Thinking about it this way- Su Qi even felt a little envious of her own brother.
Officer Zhang Ru saw that Su Qi was lost in thought again, so she gently tapped her head.
Su Qi subconsciously covered her head with her hands in a defensive posture. Dressed in Hanfu, she made this gesture, which perfectly showed the cuteness unique to girls.
The perfect girl in front of her had just been looking at her with a boy's eyes. Officer Zhang Ru found it rather amusing to think about it.
After greeting the boss, the two headed to the location they had agreed upon with the driver.
Of course, the driver was already professionally waiting for the two of them in the car.
So the three of them, having eaten and drunk their fill, set off again.
Su Qi stared intently at the driver's phone. The navigation showed that there were still more than three hours left. Su Qi estimated that it would be past 7 o'clock by the time they got home.
Having not been home for nearly two years, she suddenly felt a mix of trepidation and longing for home at this moment.
What would her parents' reaction be if they saw her? Thinking about this made Su Qi even more nervous; her palms even became sweaty and sticky. Su Qi wondered why the sweat was so...
My mood became a bit irritable.
It was only afterward that I belatedly realized something was wrong with me. What was wrong with me? It must be because I was too worried about my dad!
Officer Zhang Ru, sitting next to her, could clearly sense Su Qi's tension at that moment.
Because her back wasn't leaning against the seat, she was sitting very upright, and she kept gripping her hands, all signs of nervousness.
After thinking for a moment, Officer Zhang Ru secretly sent a WeChat to Su Siyang.
A little story after the rain: Your sister is very nervous about going home. Have her mother call her to help her relax.
Su Siyang immediately replied with an OK emoji after seeing the message.
This made Officer Zhang Ru sigh, wondering how much of a sister-obsessed person she must be to guard her phone so closely.
Lu Ran put down the cleaver she was using to chop vegetables after reading the WeChat message from her son.
I wiped the handles with a cloth, took a deep breath in front of the mirror, and said, "Nervous? Which parent isn't nervous when they see their child after more than a year?"
Her nervousness was no less than Su Qi's.
Inside the car, Su Qi's phone suddenly rang, making Su Qi already tense. If Officer Zhang Ru hadn't reacted quickly, the phone would definitely have made intimate contact with the car ceiling.
"Thank you, Sister Zhang Ru." Officer Zhang Ru looked at the little guy thanking her, but the smile on his face was more nervous than his tearful expression.
Seeing the little girl's panicked and bewildered expression, Officer Zhang Ru also became nervous.
Su Qi stared at her mother on the phone screen.
Her slender, delicate fingers were trembling. At that moment, Lu Ran, inside the villa area, was also somewhat nervous; why hadn't her youngest son Su Qi, answered the phone?
As the phone call ended, Su Qi's finger remained on the answer button, but she hesitated to slide it.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Zhang Ru tried to soften her tone as much as possible. She gently pulled Su Qi into her arms.
The driver also noticed the girl's nervous expression in the rearview mirror. Logically, as a Special Car driver, he shouldn't interfere in his passenger's private affairs.
But this little girl looked so much like his daughter that he was a little worried, so he gently asked, "What's wrong, little girl? Who called and made you so scared?"
Feeling the warmth of Officer Zhang Ru's embrace, Su Qi looked up and glanced at the driver's concerned eyes in the rearview mirror. After hesitating for two or three seconds, Su Qi finally lowered her head slightly.
A small voice, tinged with sobs, said:
"It was my mom on the phone, but I made a huge mistake. I'm afraid she'll hate me. If she hates me, will I not have a mom anymore? I'm scared, so scared."
After speaking, Su Qi's thin body trembled uncontrollably, her small shoulders heaving in Officer Zhang Ru's arms, just like an abandoned little lamb.
Officer Zhang Ru is not a father herself, and her family is one of loving parents and filial children. In this situation, she was at a loss for words!
Just then, the driver slowly spoke up, "Little girl, what father would hate his own child? I don't know what mistake you made. But I know that if she were my daughter, even if she made a terrible mistake, she would still be my daughter. I would never hate her!"
The driver spoke slowly, but with a deep, masculine voice that made people feel at ease.
"Really?" Su Qi slowly lifted her head from Officer Zhang Ru's embrace and glanced at the driver in the rearview mirror. The driver gave her an affirmative look.
Officer Zhang Ru hugged her tighter, offering her silent encouragement.
Just then, Mom called again.
Although Su Qi still felt a little uneasy, at this moment she felt less afraid. Her fingers trembled, but she was still able to slowly swipe the screen, and with a "beep," the call was finally connected.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong?" Su Qi didn't try to hide her voice this time.
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she heard Su Qi's sweet voice in the video and recalled the numerous pieces of evidence on the Internet.
She already had a guess about the surprise Su Siyang mentioned.
They didn't ask Su Qi why she hadn't answered her call earlier, nor did they inquire why her voice had become that of a girl.
Lu Ran simply asked Su Qi what dishes she wanted to eat, her tone gentle and her voice soft, yet filled with deep longing for Su Qi.
The call continued for a while. Although Lu Ran did most of the talking and Su Qi responded, Officer Zhang Ru and the driver noticed that the little girl was gradually relaxing.
"Well, Xiao Qi, I'll go cook now. You can feast when you get here! There's your favorite sweet Guo Bao Rou. Shall we chat some more later?"
After 20 minutes, Lu Ran gave her closing remarks.
Su Qi mustered her courage and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I lied to you about something, and that is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ran's voice interrupted her from the other end of the phone, "Mom also lied to you about something, so we're even now, okay? How about we talk more when we get home? Don't be angry, okay, Xiao Qi?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Qi felt like she was in a dream, as if it were all too real. Her misty eyes were still fixed on the unlocked phone screen! She pinched her thigh hard.
Paralysis - Not a Dream
Therefore, her own mother did not dislike her.
The ice on her little face, which had just received this information, finally melted, revealing two big dimples.
Officer Zhang Ru picked up a piece of tissue and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The little girl, whose mood had brightened after the rain, smiled slightly. Seeing the smile return to her face, Officer Zhang felt that the little girl was most beautiful when she was happy!
The driver also looked in the rearview mirror and saw Su Qi's restored smile. He didn't say anything, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth proved that he was also in a good mood.
