848. He came from the flames of war
"Xiaoru, don't worry, I'm really fine. β
Tang Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Xiaoru's nervous appearance: "Look, do I look like I've suffered a loss?"
Ji Xiaoru looked back, Tang Xiao's expression was relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, looking really like he had been wronged by Xie Linlang.
On the other hand, Xie Linlang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and his face was unhappy - how could it seem that a smile had the upper hand?
It's weird.
Xiaoxiao has always had a gentle temper, and she is not good at quarreling with people, so whenever there is something, she is always worried that Xiaoxiao will be bullied.
What's wrong with this today, smiling and smiling?
However, Xiaoxiao was not bullied, and maybe she was "bullied" back, which is of course a good thing.
"Well, I'm relieved that you're okay. Ji Xiaoru nodded and said, "Then let's go?"
"Good. Tang Xiao glanced at Xie Linlang, smiled lightly and said, "Miss Xie, since you like it here, then this feng shui treasure will be given to you, no thanks." β
Xie Linlang froze in place without saying a word, she felt that there were a lot of thoughts in her head for a while, but there was no specific one that could comfort her, or organize it into sentences to effectively fight back.
Until Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru's figures disappeared completely, she was still standing in place, at a loss.
The experience was new and unprecedented.
In the past, she would never have imagined that she would one day become speechless in front of others, and even that the other party was such an ordinary woman.
No, she was able to say that kind of thing - it was already extraordinary in itself.
Xie Linlang would not admit that he was speechless in front of an ordinary person.
In this case, doesn't it mean that he is not even as good as an ordinary woman?
She felt extremely tight in her chest, and she desperately needed to catch her breath, but when she walked quickly to the window where Tang Xiao was standing before, she found that from the narrow window, the sky outside was so gray, whether it was the city or the sky, it seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of lead-gray haze.
No...... How so?
She couldn't believe that this was her hometown of Chengbei.
For a moment, she was disappointed.
I don't know if I'm disappointed in myself or in this homeland.
Or maybe it's disappointment with yourself in this land.
She could have had a broader stage.
The shows in Paris, the balls in London, and the yachts on the water in Venice have left her everywhere.
The sky abroad is blue, the air is fresh, and there, she is free and happy.
She is free to fall in love, whether it is a man or a woman.
Why, then, did she allow herself to be so unfree to stay in this dirty and messy place?
Oh, that's terrible.
Everything is so bad here.
Except for Cheng Lie, everything is not worthy of nostalgia.
Xie Linlang suddenly felt irritable, her slender and white fingers clenched the windowsill tightly, so hard that she couldn't break the cement on the windowsill.
After a while, she let go of her fingers again with interest, and looked down at her fingers carefully.
The white palms were stained with dust and dirt, which was really disgusting.
βsh/itοΌβ
She couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"What is it that makes our elegant and beautiful princess burst into foul language?"
A leisurely voice came from beside him.
Xie Linlang was first shocked, and then a burst of joy hit her heart.
How can it be?
How did you meet him here?
She turned her head in surprise.
"Xie You, why are you here?"
"That's what I want to ask. β
Xie You was wearing a dark blue over-the-knee trench coat, his shoulder-length mid-length hair was casually draped, and a face that was more beautiful than a woman had a relaxed smile.
It was like a cup of herbal tea with the fragrance of roses, which suddenly extinguished the small flames burning in Xie Linlang's heart.
Instead of irritability and anxiety, happy emotions instantly enveloped her.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as she saw Xie You, she would always be very happy.
Xie You always has a way to make her happy.
Although they don't meet often, and it's not a relationship where they can meet at any time, every time she sees Xie You by chance, she feels happy from the bottom of her heart.
This feeling is very wonderful, but Xie Linlang is reluctant to involve her relationship with Xie You in the relationship between men and women.
If there is a man in this world who is absolutely impossible for her to be regarded as a person who can fall in love or get married, then this person must be Xie You.
She is her eternal cousin, and in her mind, he will always be a trustworthy person.
"Cheng Lie's sister was sick, and I accompanied Cheng Lie's mother to come and have a look. β
Xie Linlang looked at Xie You and stated this fact with a smile.
"Is that all?"
Xie You expressed doubts, but even if he didn't believe what she said and remained suspicious of the truth, he could still have a relaxed expression and not feel guarded at all.
"Well, that's it, otherwise what else could it be?"
Xie Linlang dodged Xie You's clear gaze.
She pretended to look out the window casually, but there was really nothing to see outside the window, so that as soon as she turned her head, the smile on her face faded, as if a petal had been wrinkled in an instant, and the corners of her eyebrows and mouth revealed that unpleasant aura.
Xie You didn't continue to ask. That's where his cleverness comes in.
He almost never takes the initiative to ask questions that others don't want to answer.
And Xie You seems to have many faces, he always shows different faces in front of different people, but it doesn't make people feel hypocritical and annoying.
Xie Linlang always thinks that Xie You is an extremely smart person, and it is a pity that a person like him is just a painter.
If he were a businessman or a politician, he would have been more successful than if he had been a painter.
In that case, the contribution in the Xie family will be greater, and the position in the Xie family will naturally be more stable.
It's a pity that Xie You has never had the heart to get ahead since his parents passed away unexpectedly.
Among the younger generation of the Xie family, he kept to himself, as if he was only satisfied with being a painter.
Of course, Xie You, as a painter, is also very successful.
At least, in the domestic art world, Xie You and his paintings are quite popular.
"The weather was nice today. β
The two of them were silent for a while, and Xie You spoke.
Xie Linlang couldn't help laughing, she glanced at Xie You, saw the other party's soft and neat side face, admired it a little in her heart, and said unconsciously in her heart, looking at you is much more pleasant than looking out the window.
"yes, I don't think so. Xie Linlang pursed her lips and said in a very disgusted tone: "This is the winter in Chengbei?" To be honest, it's really annoying, I would rather stay in London than stay here, wrapped in haze every day, like wearing a moldy torn cotton jacket, which makes people worry that they will soon be full of eczema and mites. β
Xie Linlang's caustic evaluation still did not make Xie You feel unhappy in the slightest.
A smile appeared on his pretty side face, his eyelashes curled and trembling slightly with the smile.
Obviously, Xie Linlang's words amused him.
Xie Linlang thought to himself, it has always been like this, Xie You will never be angry with himself, whether he is a prank or a mean person or something, he always smiles like this, as if he thinks of himself as a naughty child from the bottom of his heart.
What the hell was Xie You thinking?
Xie Linlang sometimes understands, sometimes doesn't.
However, she preferred not to understand.
Some things are not so beautiful when they are broken.
"You. Xie You shook his head helplessly, but his eyes did not look at Xie Linlang, although he knew that Xie Linlang was looking at him at this moment.
He seemed to be deliberately avoiding looking at Xie Linlang, and he seemed to really think that the scenery outside the window was good and worth recalling.
"You can go back to London, actually, you know very well that it is more suitable for you. Isn't that right?"
Xie You said softly.
Xie Linlang was silent for a few seconds, and said angrily: "Why do you all want me to go back, am I so annoying?"
"Who else wants you to go back but me?"
Xie You glanced at Xie Linlang very strangely.
Xie Linlang realized that he had missed his mouth, and frowned regretfully.
She always behaves perfectly in front of others, rarely makes mistakes in speaking, or loses control of her emotions, but in front of Xie You, she often says the wrong thing and does the wrong thing, probably because she knows that Xie You will tolerate her no matter what.
It was easy to be with Xie You, but Xie You couldn't give her everything she wanted.
Sometimes she wonders whether people should live easily and happily, or should they go out of their way to pursue everything they want.
There was no answer, and the only thing she could do was keep going.
She's already sacrificed so much time and energy to get Cheng Yeol, so why not keep going?
Anyway, marrying Cheng Lie is something that will happen sooner or later.
If you give up now, everything you have paid before will be a bamboo basket for water.
Besides, what a perfect man Cheng Lie is.
She still remembers that in the war abroad, when Cheng Lie came from a cloud of gunpowder smoke and rescued herself expressionlessly, he was as cool as a god.
She has to marry Cheng Yeol.
Otherwise, everything is meaningless.
She Xie Linlang has never been a person who gives up halfway.
"Of course my friends in London. Xie Linlang said in a stiff tone.
Xie You smiled again.
He's a very smiling person.
But what he said was not funny at all.
"I don't believe it. β
