Chapter 39 Choice

On the day of the trip back, Fangmei called in a hurry early in the morning.

What should I do? I didn’t catch the bus. I missed it because I was late. I didn’t have any tickets today.I'm going to school tomorrow and have something to do., I was very anxious when I heard the tone.

Don't panic, are you with Angela?, Fangmei replied yes, wait a moment, I will check if there are any air tickets.

I happened to process the email in front of the computer and checked that the air ticket was still there that afternoon, but it was relatively expensive, more than 300 yuan.

You send your passports over and I'll book you the air tickets. You can transfer to the airport now, it should be too late., I replied to Fangmei, I will send the electronic ticket to your phone later.

I heard her discuss with Angela on the phone and agreed that we would go to the airport now.Fangmei’s passport should have been issued earlier, but she looks like a middle school student with no makeup and ignorance.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Mei sent a photo of the two of them, saying that they had passed the security check and boarded the plane soon.I said yes, see you at the airport and go pick you up.Fangmei replied with an OK expression.

In the evening, the two of them came out of the airport, looking happy.

Thanks to your help with AhJack, otherwise you might be so embarrassed.Angela got on the car

Just say thank you.

Don't be polite, it's a good thing., I replied.

By the way, Jack, Meimei and I discussed buying a bottle of red wine at the airport and giving it to you. Thank you for your help., Angela took a paper bag and shook it in the back row.

And the gift Ah, so polite.Let’s do this, I’ll treat you two to a meal. What kind of dishes do you want to eat?

Really, that's great. Chinese food is Ah. The consumption on LA is too expensive, so I didn't dare to go to the restaurant., Angela said.

Then let's go, Sichuan cuisine is fine.Both of them even said that there was no problem.

In the United States, if a mass restaurant cannot cook a few Sichuan dishes, it will basically not survive.But there are not many companies that are authentic, so of course they have to have a good reputation.

The food was delicious, and there was no long time to get tired of the ride. The two of them were very talkative, constantly talking about their experience at LA, and even showed me a lot of photos that they had not posted.

After dinner, Angela said that her apartment had been repaired and she hadn't been back for a long time and had to go back to see her. She sent her to the apartment. Angela waved goodbye and said that the air ticket money would be transferred to me, but I said there was no hurry.

On the way home with Fangmei, she was still sitting in the back seat, and suddenly she swept the light to a shiny thing next to her.

I can't give you the air ticket money for the time being, let's use this to mortgage it first.Fangmei handed something shiny from behind.

I took it with one hand and saw it. It was a key chain, the pattern of snow-capped mountains and lakes was very exquisite.

So exquisite, I accepted it, thank you Meimei, and I still want to bring me a gift., I was a little moved.

I went to a small shop that specializes in selling key chains for a long time, and I could afford this gift. I bought one and got one free. I also have one, exactly the same one, hehe.., Fangmei said playfully.

This gift is so Ah, I can carry it with me every day., I praised her for her vision.

Why, I have been choosing for a long time?

There should be many snow-capped mountains and lake patterns.

I picked it up again and took a closer look. There was a word on it Heavenly, and I instantly understood, isn’t this the snow-capped mountain we went to ski?

It seems that the journey to the snow mountain has left her with beautiful memories, and she has really put her heart into it, and she feels a sense of warmth in her heart.

After arriving home, Fangmei was tired and went upstairs to sleep.

Since LA came back, Fangmei went to school to ask questions several times.After returning that evening, I brought a message.

I met my teacher today and she said she would like me to be her student and could admit me, but she said that with my background, it would be difficult for her to convince the committee to give me a scholarship, and she has been thinking of ways, but it seems that she doesn't expect any results at the moment.Fangmei looked very disappointed and sat listlessly on the dining chair.

Dingding Ding Ding, WeChat rang, and her father called it, Fangmei didn't avoid me and answered it directly.

Hello, dad, what's wrong?

Why did you spend so much this month?Didn’t you save some?, her dad must have seen the credit card bills have increased.

Didn’t you say that I’m going out to play? What should I do if I don’t have enough cash and don’t use my credit card?, Fangmei explained impatiently.

Oh, forget it, let’s not mention it.Her father said, Meimei, why don’t you go back to China early? It doesn’t matter whether you stay or study abroad. It’s great if you come back and our family will be together.

Oh, if I don’t study abroad, you will save money, right?, Fang Mei is really not polite to her father.

It’s not that I don’t support you, but my dad is also unable to do so.The down payment of the house has been paid, and I will try my best to support you with the remaining money, but it is hard to say how much money your brother will need after he was born.

Oh, everyone is more important than me, right?Wait, what younger brother, how do you know it is your younger brother?

It's my younger brother. A few days ago, I stuffed a red envelope to the doctor for prenatal examination. People told me to prepare a blue baby suit when I came back. This is not very obvious.Because doctors are not allowed to tell the baby's gender in China, they can only hint after receiving red envelopes. If they are allowed to prepare pink, it will be a girl.

I'm pregnant with my son, so I'm forcing you to buy a house, right?Fangmei's volume rose a little.

No, I still have to buy a house.Now that money is really tight, my dad is in a difficult situation.In this way, then dad will try to solve your tuition fees. It depends on yourself for living expenses. Aren’t there many jobs abroad? You should be independent when you grow up.Fangmei once said that their concept of favoring boys over girls is very serious, and they cannot give birth to a son, and even the men in the family cannot raise their heads.

Anyway, is it useful if I object?Anyway, I am the extra one at home.Just hang up if you have nothing else., Fangmei said weakly.

Meimei, you understand Dad Ah too., her father said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

Ah It's so hard for me!Fangmei sighed and lay on the dining table.

Meimei, wait a moment, I'll ask you a question., I told her that Fangmei tilted her head and did not get up. She asked any questions, but did not get up.

I signaled her to wait, return to the basement, quickly find paper and pen, write a paragraph of text with a quick pen, and then strode back to the kitchen.

What, mysterious., Fangmei was also very curious.

I asked by holding the folded paper in my hand.

If I come to bear all your tuition and living expenses, the condition is that you still have to live here and have to accompany me frequently, would you like?, I couldn't believe it, I asked Fangmei this question.

What does it mean, are you teasing me?Fangmei crossed her arms and leaned back to the back of the chair, her almond eyes wide open.

Keep it?Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?That's right, I owe you a lot of rent. I think you understand my situation the most. So you also think of me like this?!

I admit that I was silly urged several times, such as the basement, the laundry room, the snow-capped hotel, do you think it was for money to avoid bullshit rent?Do I have no feelings?You can't insult me ​​like this.In fact, I remember all the money I owe you and will pay it back...Fangmei's tears rolled in her eyes, and she was about to fall.

God, her temper is really cute.

I listened calmly to her and squeezed the folded paper with both hands and slowly shaking it in front of her eyes.

What are you doing? Signing a contract for sale?, Fangmei glared at me and looked sideways.

Open it and take a look, maybe you will be relieved., I handed it to her with one hand.

Fangmei hesitated for a moment, grabbed it, opened the paper and started reading in a low voice.

This is just a test. Based on my understanding of you, you will definitely refuse. I just want to confirm it.Now I know the answer, so I am willing to support you unconditionally with all-in.

test?what the hell?Fangmei turned to me with a puzzled look on her face, tell me clearly.

I mean, I deliberately tried yours.I believe in your character, and it turns out that you will refuse as I guess.I decided that I would pay for your study abroad money without any additional conditions.

You're out?I heard it right., Fangmei looked at me in shock.

Yes, I'll leave. Whether you want to go to Australia or stay here or continue, you can do whatever you want. I will pay for your tuition and living expenses in the future, even if your brother will support your sister.You are a very good girl, and your answer today shows this even more. I don’t want you to interrupt your studies because of lack of money. It will become a regret for your life many years later., I said solemnly.

But, me...Fangmei was a little incoherent, with tears in her eyes.

You don’t have to worry, there is no problem with the funds. I have many ways. I can sell a part of Bitcoin, and 10 is enough. Although I know it will rise a lot, it is worth it to exchange it for your studies no matter how you look at it.Or, if I can pay more than 100,000 yuan for this house, I will soon have a stock dividend bonus, which should be more than enough...

When I was counting on my fingers, I didn't notice that Fangmei was looking at me stupidly, her tears were already swaying, and suddenly, she covered her face and started crying.

Meimei, no, sister, don’t cry, this is unconditional. I said all-in, just give my all, I just need to find a way.I am not making a promise easily, and I will definitely do it if I agree.

Fangmei didn't answer the conversation, just cried.I don't know where she was crying, and I was at a loss for a moment.

Why?Why do you do this? It's so good to me.Fangmei calmed down a little and asked.

No, just call me brother for you.Think about it, the universe is so big, it is not easy to meet it alone, and we still have such a deep fate.Believe me, beautiful. There is no hatred for no reason in this world, but there is love for no reason. Think about it and accept it.

Fangmei listened, covering her face and sobbing. It seemed that the pressure she had put on her by several choices in studying abroad was immediately released.

Don’t worry, Meimei, think about it carefully, I hope you can accept your help, remember: it is unconditional., I patted her shoulder lightly and said I'll go downstairs first, leaving her alone for a quiet rest.

A cowardly person like me has to keep a little bit of everything, but he has ever thought about trying hard for anyone...

I went back to the basement, sat in a daze in my chair, and suddenly I remembered the lyrics in my mind.

Maybe many years later, I will regret it and think it's stupid, but at least at this moment, it's my heart that drives me to do this, willingly.
