Before, after Xia Xinyi's persuasion and earnest teaching, Xia Shiqi finally agreed to one thing.

Move out and live!

Xia Xin is very prejudiced against her parents, and she always feels that Xia Shiqi lives at home like this, so it is better to move out and live quietly.

Father is not very fond of her, as for the stepmother...... It's not as good as my father.

That stepmother, Xia Xin can't wait to see him beaten once.

But for Xia Shiqi, moving out is equivalent to self-reliance, and she may face many difficulties in life.

This is a difficult choice for Xia Shiqi, a pampered little flower in the greenhouse.

It takes a lot of courage.

However, Xia Shiqi agreed after thinking about it again and again, and replied.

"Since that's what you said, I'll give it a try."

But there is still a problem, even if she agrees, her father Xia Chaozong will not agree-.

Therefore, Xia Xin shoulders another sacred mission.

It's to convince his old-fashioned dad.

To be honest, Xia Xin didn't have a good impression of her father, and felt like a stubborn guy.

From the last contact, I know that Xia Chaozong thinks that Xia Shiqi doesn't need to have his own ideas, as long as he listens to him all the time.

Xia Xin had to try to convince her father, although she felt that the chances of success were not high, but she had to work hard......

In the afternoon.

Xia Xin came to the café designated by Xia Shiqi.

It looks like a very high-end café, decorated with a very European-style aristocratic atmosphere, with a bit of retro style, and melodic piano music echoing in Dali, which is a very quiet and comfortable leisure place.

There was still a waiter at the entrance, wearing a black suit and a white tie.

Xia Xin felt that the waiters were much more advanced than herself.

When I saw the waiter walking towards me, I was even worried in my heart that I was going to drive myself out.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

The waiter asked respectfully.

This made Xia Xin feel at ease, and when he reported to the table, the waiter led him over.

Xia Shiqi and Xia Chaozong had already arrived, and the two sat on both sides of the coffee table, calmly drinking coffee and eating some pastries.

Seeing Xia Xin coming, Xia Shiqi moved a position inside, gave up the outside seat to Xia Xin, and the two sat next to each other.

Probably out of the host's etiquette, Xia Chaozong asked lightly, "What to drink?" ”

Xia Xin found that Xia Chaozong was wearing a high-end suit, and his ancient face made people unable to see the expression, and he spoke unhurriedly, tepidly, and looked very imposing, looking like a common kind of successful person,...... He is also indeed a successful man.

In contrast, I feel like a stunned, fledgling student.

But we can't weaken our momentum here, otherwise we will have failed before we have even negotiated.

Xia Xin replied calmly, "Just have a cup of coffee." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xia Shiqi beside him, Xia Shiqi was wearing a pink coat, and her warm red hair was trying to match, the long sleeves almost covered her two hands, and only a few white and cute little fingers were exposed, holding a spoon, stirring coffee back and forth, looking like a pretty cute little girl.

Sensing that Xia Xin was looking at her, Xia Shiqi also glanced back at Xia Xin.

The two looked at each other.

Xia Shiqi replied with a slow complaining gaze, and continued to lower her head and stir the coffee.

Xia Xin thought to himself, can you not be slow, no matter how you say it, you are an outsider, and I actually want to help you convince your father to let you move out, who knows what he will think, I have to prepare a rhetoric.

However, it's a pity that Xia Xin thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any safe excuses.

I always feel like I'm kidnapping someone's daughter.

The three of them seemed to have come to this place to listen to piano music, and none of them spoke first.

In the end, Xia Shiqi couldn't help it, and quietly stepped on Xia Xin's feet under the table, signaling that he could speak.

Xia Shiqi belongs to the kind of well-behaved girl who is obedient, and she is not very good at arguing with others about her own opinions, so she can only speak by Xia Xindai.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chaozong spoke first.

A calm voice with a bit of vicissitudes sounded, "Shiqi said she wanted to move out, was it your idea?" ”

"Yes."

Xia Chaozong sighed with emotion, "I'm surprised, from ...... It was the first time since her mother's death that she had stood up so much. ”

Xia Xin replied seriously, "Because she has grown up, she naturally has her own opinions, her own persistence, and what she wants to do, and of course she also needs her own freedom." ”

"No," Xia Chaozong vetoed, "Shiqi said because, this is what you said." ”

“……”

How can this man not play according to the routine at all.

Xia Xin quietly glanced at Xia Shiqi,

Hey, I can't answer that, and we haven't confessed to each other.

Xia Shiqi moved her gaze a little weakly and didn't look at Xia Xin.

A look of "I'll leave everything to you, I don't care".

Xia Xin knew that Xia Shiqi was a little afraid of her father, so she didn't dare to refute her father, and she didn't plan to force her.

could only answer awkwardly, "This, mainly because Shiqi herself has the idea of moving out to live." ”

"Yes."

Xia Chaozong glanced at Xia Xin and did not dwell on this topic.

The two of them each raised their glasses and took small sips of coffee.

Xia Chaozong continued to ask, "Your name is Xia Xin, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"Just me and my sister."

"What about your parents?"

"Years ago, it was ...... It's gone. ”

Xia Xin felt that the situation was not quite right, why did he suddenly check his account.

Xia Chaozong asked after a long silence,

"Oh, then it's just you and your sister to rely on each other."

"Yes."

"So, what do your parents do?"

“……”

Xia Xin really wanted to ask, no one is there, it's useless for you to ask what to do.

"I don't know, it seems to be a business."

"Yes."

After saying that, neither of them spoke again and continued to drink coffee.

Xia Xin couldn't figure out what Xia Chaozong's attitude was, how it sounded like a couple meeting their parents.

However, I feel that Xia Chaozong's attitude is much better than when they met for the first time before.

At that time, he was a self-respecting person, and he didn't listen to what he said in his ears at all, but now he is much better and willing to listen to himself.

So there's room for communication.

Xia Xin asked tentatively, "That, about Shiqi moving out......

Xia Chaozong glanced at Xia Xin and replied lightly, "Girls, there are many difficulties when you are alone. ”

"But there are some difficulties that always need to be overcome."

In fact, what Xia Xin thought in his heart was that any difficulty was more comfortable than at home, and it was better than domestic violence.

Xia Chaozong continued, "There will be many inconveniences. ”

"There is always a solution to everything, and I think as long as she wants to move out, she will definitely find a solution."

"That's right."

Xia Chaozong actually nodded in agreement with his opinion, which surprised Xia Xin.

Immediately feeling that it could be done, he chased after the victory, "Moreover, if you don't give it a try, no one can say that she must not be able to adapt to life outside, maybe she will feel that the sky outside is broader." ”

Xia Chaozong looked at Xia Shiqi this time, and said with a little fascination, "Indeed, it was only so small and not big at the beginning, but now it has grown so big, time flies so fast,...... Shiqi, do you really want to move out? ”

Xia Shiqi didn't dare to look at her father's majestic eyes, raised her little face slightly and glanced at it, and then looked at Xia Xin, her eyes clearly said, "You come and answer." ”

Xia Xin wanted to ask, "I am your official spokesperson or agent", and you should at least reply.

To your dad, a clear answer.

Xia Shiqi stared at Xia Xin for a full 10 seconds, and saw that Xia Xin only lowered his head and drank coffee, and had no intention of speaking at all, so he had to answer, "Well, I want to move out and live, it shouldn't be very far from home, it's next to the school." ”

"Have you found a house?"

“…… It's almost there. ”

"Oh? Since you're going to try to be self-reliant, I can't take care of you like I used to. ”

Xia Chaozong raised his eyebrows and said, "I also lived alone when I was young, let me remind you, you'd better think about it, moving out means that there will be no more chefs to cook for you, and no one will help you wash your clothes, the room must be tidied up by yourself, cleaned by yourself, and you have to deal with everything by yourself, especially, since you have to be self-reliant, I can't give you so much pocket money every month like before, have you thought about it." ”

Xia Shiqi turned her little face to look at Xia Xin again, as if waiting for Xia Xin's answer.

Xia Xin was speechless and continued to bow his head and drink coffee.

Xindao, this kind of thing, you can only answer it yourself.

Xia Shiqi's small animal-like pitiful gaze stared at Xia Xin for a full 20 seconds without blinking, and then she turned her gaze, looked at Xia Chaozong, and replied firmly, "I've already thought about it, I'm going to move out." ”

"Okay, since you've thought about it well, then it's good, the most useless thing in this world is the person who can't think before doing things, and that kind of person will never be productive."

Xia Chaozong nodded, "That's okay, I agreed." ”

Xia Shiqi was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, Dad." ”

Xia Xin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Xia Chaozong was unexpectedly enlightened this time, maybe he was not as old-fashioned as he looked.

Before this joy spread, he listened to Xia Chaozong continue.

"Girls, you always have to go out of the house, I have already been mentally prepared, but when you two young people live together, pay attention to safety, you are still young, don't kill people, after all, you have not reached the legal age for marriage."

Suddenly, Xia Xin drank a sip of coffee for nothing, and with a "poof", it was all sprayed back on the table......
