Chapter 23: The Stepping Stone
"What do you see?" Xu Duyu didn't know when she came out of the bathroom, walked behind Shen Xiaofu, and asked with a smile.
"Yes...... Your big brother. Shen Xiaofu hesitated, turned back to Xu Duyu and said, then turned around, walked back to her bed from the entrance, and simply sat down.
The door was quickly opened, and then it seemed that Xu Duyu went out, and when Shen Xiaofu lifted the quilt and went in to sleep, she didn't expect that as soon as she closed her eyes, the Xu family brothers and sisters walked back.
"Looking for you. Xu Duyu said, jumped on his bed, and squeezed his eyes at Shen Xiaofu.
Shen Xiaofu felt helpless, so she had to sit up from the bed and look at Xu Guangyi: "Is there something wrong?"
"I called you just now, why didn't I get through, you blacklisted me. Xu Guangyi asked.
"No, I'm on the phone with my mom. Shen Xiaofu told the truth, of course, if she could block Xu Guangyi, she also wanted to give it a try.
Xu Duyu was lying on the bed next to him, already laughing, and said with a big grin: "Brother, it's so strange, since you came to find Xiaofu on purpose, what do you mean by bringing Xu Wanyun?"
"Do you mind?" Xu Guangyi asked as he looked at Shen Xiaofu.
This was impossible to answer, Shen Xiaofu laughed, looked at Xu Duyu, and felt that she had said something to Xu Guangyi.
"I've already ordered a cruise ship and will go to sea together tomorrow?" Xu Guangyi said, and sat down next to Shen Xiaofu's bed very naturally.
"I have other arrangements tomorrow, you guys go play!" Shen Xiaofu subconsciously stepped aside.
"I won't go either, don't call me wherever Xu Wanyun is in the future!" Xu Duyu immediately echoed.
Xu Guangyi looked at Shen Xiaofu for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head: "How old are you, and you still play with a child's temper, just remember that dress until now, grandma has helped you to take me into the army, and my mother also scolded me, are you still angry?"
Xu Duyu covered her mouth next to her and laughed: "Brother, I thought you couldn't see it, now you know, grandma will always be on our side!"
Xu Guangyi smiled and nodded at Xu Duyu, and when he was about to speak, the phone that he had been holding in his hand rang.
"Xu Wanyun checks the post, right?" Xu Duyu got up from the bed, stretched out his head to look at Xu Guangyi's mobile phone screen, and snorted disdainfully.
Glancing at Shen Xiaofu, Xu Guangyi took his mobile phone and turned around and entered the balcony of the guest room.
Taking advantage of Xu Guangyi's phone call, Xu Duyu approached Shen Xiaofu and said, "My brother just moved to the guest room opposite us, and he is coming over now, he is taking the initiative to show favor to you, you can see it, in my brother's heart, you are more important than Xu Yunyun!"
Shen Xiaofu laughed, then shook her head.
On the balcony, Xu Guangyi was saying to the person on the phone: "You can order your own supper, you don't have to send it to my room, I'll take Xiaofu downstairs to eat a little later." ”
I don't know what the other party said, Xu Guangyi paused and said, "Then you can rest first, and tomorrow morning, we will set off at eight o'clock." ”
As soon as Xu Guangyi put down the phone here, Xu Duyu shouted at him: "Brother, what do you mean? People have supper to eat, and I want to eat it too!"
"I want to eat my own order," Xu Guangyi threw down a sentence and walked in front of Shen Xiaofu: "I transferred over after getting off the plane, and I haven't eaten anything until now, accompany me downstairs to find a restaurant, I'm not familiar with it here." ”
20 minutes later, Shen Xiaofu, who had already changed her clothes, accompanied Xu Guangyi and sat in a restaurant downstairs in the hotel.
Xu Guangyi seemed to be really hungry, and as soon as the dishes were served, he watched him gobble them up.
In fact, it is not a gobble, Xu Guangyi, who came out of Mrs. Xu herself, is very measured in her gestures, and her table manners are perfect.
"Don't you eat?" Xu Guangyi stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Shen Xiaofu: "I remember that you have always had a good appetite." ”
Shen Xiaofu smiled, holding her cheeks with her hands, and only watched Xu Guangyi eat there.
After a while, Xu Guangyi finished his late dinner and said to Shen Xiaofu: "If you want to come here to play, why don't you tell me in advance, I have friends here, I can make arrangements for you, parents and parents can rest assured, you two little girls come out by yourself." ”
"We had a good time!" replied, turning her head to look around.
It's almost ten o'clock, and the restaurant is still full of customers, and there are still people waiting outside to turn over the table.
"Let's go, take you to the beach for a walk!" Xu Guangyi said, then stood up, and didn't even ask Shen Xiaofu if she wanted to.
Xu Guangyi said this, and Shen Xiaofu stood up obediently.
The hotel they stayed in was facing the sea outside, and it was dark and lonely on the other side of the sea.
The two walked out of the hotel gate one after the other and walked slowly on the beach.
At this time, the most lively thing is the crowds of tourists on the beach, and you can even hear someone playing the piano, and the people next to them singing and dancing.
Shen Xiaofu was attracted by the excitement and was looking at it, but her wrist was grabbed by Xu Guangyi.
"I'll take you to pick up shells. Xu Guangyi said a word, and then pulled Shen Xiaofu to the tide.
There was a black hole in front of her, Shen Xiaofu was a little scared, and muttered: "It's dark, pick up some shells, don't go!"
"When you were a child, when you arrived at the beach, didn't you like to pick things, even mineral water bottles that people didn't want!" Xu Guangyi looked back at Shen Xiaofu and teased.
"How can this be?" said Shen Xiaofu, breaking away from Xu Guangyi's hand, really afraid that he would be taken into the sea.
Xu Guangyi smiled, caught up with Shen Xiaofu, who had already trotted to the front, and put his hand on her shoulder: "Girl, it's better to be timid, I'm really afraid that you will be taken into a stupid girl by Twilight." ”
Shen Xiaofu was amused, "You're talking bad about Twilight, I'll go back and tell her!"
Xu Guangyi snorted and walked forward with Shen Xiaofu, leaving a long trail of footprints behind them.
After walking for a while, Xu Guangyi turned his head to look at Shen Xiaofu: "I never thought that you would be so temperamental." ”
Shen Xiaofu didn't look at Xu Guangyi, and replied, "I'm not angry!"
"Don't want to get engaged to me?" Then Xu Guangyi asked this sentence, which made Shen Xiaofu turn her head violently.
Her eyes flashed for a while, but Shen Xiaofu couldn't answer Xu Guangyi's question, and if she said something, she couldn't take it back.
"I admit that this engagement was a bit hasty, and you know the reason, and I want you to understand that I have never had any child's thoughts about marriage, and now that I have made a decision, I will definitely treat my future wife and family well. Xu Guangyi stopped, and said with an extremely serious expression.
Shen Xiaofu really wanted to be unfazed, but at this time, when she looked at Xu Guangyi's eyes, her heart couldn't help but jump.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Xu Guangyi laughed: "You are very nervous, I can understand your feelings, in fact, whether you want to or not, we will eventually come to this step of marriage, now for you, it may be a little early, however, I will give you the process of adaptation, if you want, marriage can be slightly postponed." ”
"So, you mean that engagement is a last resort?" I don't know why, Shen Xiaofu became very sensitive, and she could find something wrong between Xu Guangyi's words, such as the sentence "whether you want it or not".
"What do you mean by having to do it as a last resort?" Xu Guangyi probably felt that Shen Xiaofu's words were quite funny, and stretched out his hand to pat her head: "There are a lot of idioms!"
Shen Xiaofu stepped back suddenly, almost with vigilance, looked at Xu Guangyi, thought for a while, and finally asked: "You plan to marry me, what should Xu Yunyun do?"
Xu Guangyi's expression was stunned for a moment: "Why do you mention Wan Yun, it has nothing to do with her." ”
Shen Xiaofu felt that she was about to go violent, and Xu Guangyi's attitude was simply to fool things over.
"Don't you think that there are too many prejudices about Wanyun, you weren't like this before. Xu Guangyi actually asked rhetorically.
"I suddenly became curious, since you are in a hurry to get married, Xu Yunyun should be a more suitable candidate for you, in fact, I can fulfill you. Shen Xiaofu was forced to finally say what was in her heart.
After looking at Shen Xiaofu for a moment, Xu Guangyi looked a little unhappy: "I don't know who influenced whom between Twilight and you, why did they all point the finger at Wanyun, what is the right person? ”
"Don't you dare to ask it, why do you want to avoid my question?" asked Shen Xiaofu without giving up.
Looking at Shen Xiaofu for a long time, Xu Guangyi let out a long sigh: "I didn't avoid the question, and I don't need to avoid it, because in my opinion, the question you asked is not valid at all, I don't understand, how can you learn to think nonsense all day long." ”
Shen Xiaofu suddenly didn't want to speak, feeling that it was useless to say more, because she could see that Xu Guangyi would not admit the relationship between him and Xu Yunyun, and it was obvious that no matter what happened, Xu Guangyi would first think of the ...... to protect It's Xu Wanyun.
So, does she Shen Xiaofu have to be willing to be their stepping stone?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiaofu's heart suddenly surged with grief and indignation.
"Brother, can you send a rose to your sister?" A little girl carrying a red plastic bucket didn't know when she stood between Xu Guangyi and Shen Xiaofu.
Xu Guangyi looked down at the little girl, and then at the few roses that didn't look fresh in the bucket.
The appearance of the little girl seems to have temporarily broken the deadlock between the two at this time.
Shen Xiaofu also looked over, the little girl looked like she was in her teens, wearing a T-shirt that didn't fit well, and a pair of slippers, I don't know if she was busy all night, and the ponytail on her head was loose, at this time the little girl looked up and looked at Xu Guangyi.
"Buy one!" The little girl squeezed out a smile towards Xu Guangyi, and specially explained: "I'm not making money, I'm doing public welfare, in order to help many, many children who don't have parents." ”
"I bought all your roses!" said Shen Xiaofu.
Whether she is really doing public welfare or not, Shen Xiaofu feels unbearable, the little girl laughs at others like this, it is really pitiful.
