The famous city of water garden.

When Ji Xinyao was downstairs, he thought that he would not let him go upstairs with him, but after getting out of the car and picking up his travel bag, he looked back at her, and asked with a mocking smile: "What is the pestle doing in the car?" Don't go up and sit? ”

Ji Xinyao was used to his deliberate estrangement a few years ago, and she was a little evasive about this situation where the two of them got along alone, plus he was always lukewarm, and she didn't want to follow him too closely, even if she always regarded him as her dearest brother in her heart, it was inevitable that sometimes she would pay attention to proportion, but seeing him smiling calmly, she could see the huge changes he had changed since he came back this time, so she just smiled, pulled out the car key, opened the car door and got out of the car.

"If you have to hesitate for so long when you come into my house and sit for a while, are you afraid that I will eat you?" Gu Xiuli glanced at her meaningfully, and then turned around and walked inside under Ji Xinyao's rolled eyes.

Although there has been a fixed cleaning aunt to clean in the past two years, before leaving, Gu Xiuli explained that only the dust that fell can be cleaned, and everything else should not be moved.

So, when he walked in the door, the home was still the same as when he left.

Even the curtains were pulled together, and the room was a little dark, as if the owner was still sleeping here, as if Gu Xiuli had not left at all in the past two years.

Gu Xiuli put the travel bag on the ground and glanced at Ji Xinyao: "After two days of flight, I'll take a shower, you can sit casually." ”

"Go, go, go." Ji Xinyao waved her hand.

It didn't take long for the sound of water to come from the bathroom, which seemed to be a scene that the two had never experienced since Gu Xiuli returned to Gu's house.

The two used to live together, when Xiuli took a bath, she was outside cooking and tidying up the house or doing other things, never the slightest embarrassment, he often threw those toiletries in one place after taking a bath, and then every time she cleaned up, he would frown and ask her where she put the shampoo and where she put the toothpaste.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Ji Xinyao's mouth, and she reached out to open the curtains while laughing, because the owner had not returned for two years, and there was nothing on the terrace, and when she turned around, she found that there was something on the coffee table that happened to be covered by the sunlight that came in, the color was bright, and some corners were still a little reflective, when she saw clearly that it was two things similar to Penghua food bags, Ji Xinyao was stunned for a moment, walked over, picked up a book, and then picked up the two bags pressed under the book.

It turned out to be two empty bags of potato chips.

was pressed under the book flatly, a temperament like Xiu Li would not eat this kind of small snack at all, and would not tolerate this kind of garbage always at home, but these two bags were pressed flat under the book, obviously the cleaning aunt was not allowed to touch them, she had doubts, but after thinking about it, it was a little clear.

She is somewhat familiar with Lin Moxin, she knows that Moxin's girl usually has some greedy habits, and she also knows that Xiu Li has made Mo Xin suffer a lot of grievances before, although she doesn't know what happened between Mo Xin and Xiu Li, but looking at these two bags, Ji Xinyao seems to understand.

Not long after, Gu Xiuli came out of the bathroom, not casually wrapped in a bath towel or bathrobe, but wearing comfortable trousers and a loose shirt, and glanced at her while wiping her wet short hair when she came out, and saw the two bags she was holding in her hands, and her movements stopped for a moment.

Ji Xinyao turned her eyes to look at him, held up the bag in her hand and asked with a smile: "When did our family Xiuli like to eat potato chips?" ”

She asked on purpose.

Gu Xiuli looked away lightly, wiped his hair a few more times and threw the towel back into the bathroom, then turned around and went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of mineral water, one bottle to drink for himself, and handed it to her while taking it out.

Ji Xinyao took the water bottle and glanced at the date, presumably according to his past habits, he would change some new mineral water in the refrigerator every one or two weeks and put it in, she turned her eyes to look at him while drinking water, and saw that he only drank water quietly, but didn't say anything.

"Hey." Until she couldn't drink it anymore, put down the water bottle, and couldn't help but speak: "You quarreled with Moxin two years ago?" Or what's going on? ”

Gu Xiuli kept drinking water until a bottle of water was empty, he casually put the water bottle on the coffee table, then turned around and sat on the sofa next to Ji Xinyao, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Ji Xinyao turned her head to look at him, remembering the personality of the girl in Moxin before, at that time, Xiuli made her suffer so much grievance, she could still swallow her anger and ask for advice on how to cook, she learned seriously and focused, she was completely willing to completely change her willing to pay for Xiuli, but it didn't take long, how could she suddenly return to the United States?

She looked at Xiu Li, who was always just rubbing her eyebrows but not speaking, paused, and then asked a possibility that she was very unwilling and unwanting: "Because of me?" ”

Gu Xiuli put down his hand and glanced at her: "Sit down, shut up, and be quiet for a while." ”

The corners of Ji Xinyao's mouth twitched, but she still sat down as she said and sat on the sofa on the other side, and then she saw Gu Xiuli looking at the two bags, the two empty bags of potato chips.

"Xin Yao." He stared there, his voice soft, but to her.

Ji Xinyao raised her eyes.

"Until now, I can't deny that my feelings for you were not love." His voice was soft and slow: "Since childhood, we have snuggled up to each other, when we were in the Ji family, we were not full of food and clothing, the cleanest part of those leftovers will always be put into my bowl by you, in winter we secretly roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes in the backyard together, your hands are frozen red, and your hungry eyes are red, but you still have to stuff the first baked into my hands, you say that I am your brother, I must listen to you, you have the responsibility to take care of me, in fact, I am only seven months younger than you, when I was young, you saw me full, You always smile with sparkling eyes, and I especially like to see you smile. Later, we left Ji's house, we also used to wander the streets, we were too young at that time, so small that we didn't know how to give ourselves a better life, and no one even dared to accept us when we were looking for a job, but your little shoulders still resisted everything, and stubbornly let me hide behind you, I often said to you very irritablely, I am a man, but you always laugh and pat me on the head, saying that I am still a child......"

It seems that they haven't remembered the past for many years, and some of the things of the past are memories that they dare not touch.

Ji Xinyao's body sitting on the sofa gradually relaxed, but it was very quiet.

"Later, I also inadvertently learned that there is no blood relationship between myself and you, and the idea of wanting to protect you when I grow up, take care of you, and be good to you for a lifetime has gradually become a youthful impulse, I am thinking all the time, you are not my sister, we are not related by blood, maybe one day, we are independent men and women, and you will be my woman......"

"But fate played a big joke on me, after so many years, I didn't let it go, I was just angry, angry that I couldn't be strong enough for Gu Nancy to retreat, angry at my youth and youth, I clearly knew the gap between my young self and Gu Nancy at that time."

"Until so many years passed, I couldn't love, I imprisoned myself, I restrained myself, even though I had the opportunity to stand in a place of high authority, but it gradually took me breathless. In the past two years, I have been walking around and emptying myself, and it is only then that I suddenly wake up, and what I have been chasing is only the dream that young Xiuli once stubbornly chose. That's right, I love you, I once loved you deeply, but this love and attachment only belonged to Xiuli at that time. ”

"Xiu Li ......" Ji Xinyao smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "In my place, you will always be my dearest and most beloved brother, if I live again, I will still choose to protect you behind me like I did when I was a child, I am your sister, I should cover you." ”

I'm your sister, so I'm supposed to cover you.

This is the most domineering thing Ji Xinyao, who was so thin when he was a child, in front of him countless times.

Gu Xiuli bent her lips, but she didn't look at her: "I passed by the Golden Triangle before, I was hit by a stray bullet, and I almost died, I vaguely saw your face in the chaos of life and death, I dreamed of your care for me, your gentle and soft words, you said that Xiuli is good, and it will be fine if you take medicine, I seem to be crying in my dream, I say to you, Ji Xinyao, if I do it all over again, I don't want to meet you again, are you my mother or my sister?" I'm the person who has been tortured by you in this life is not like a ghost or a ghost, and you can't let me go when I'm dying, and I still appear in my dreams? ”

Ji Xinyao was shocked at first, but in the end, she couldn't help but cover her stomach with laughter, laughed and laughed and cried, suddenly got up and took the initiative to sit beside him, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and choked and said, "So Xiuli, you actually let yourself go first...... Stinky boy, you've finally figured it out, you're finally willing to call me sister......"

He finally got rid of his young self, and finally got rid of those nightmares that had been stationed for so long.

Gu Xiuli didn't hug her, let her hug his neck and cry, he looked down at the two bags on the coffee table, and said lightly: "If I don't let myself go, it'll be really late." ”

Hearing what he meant, Ji Xinyao hugged him and cried for a while, then let him go, wiped her tears and looked back at the things on the coffee table, sobbed and asked, "You mean Moxin?" Are you going to find her? Did she really misunderstand something? Do you need me to help you? ”

Gu Xiuli lightly hooked his lips: "No, my own woman, I'll get it back myself." ”
