Xia Zhi thought about it, but still didn't say anything about falling out with his family because of this.

"Where is your home?" She asked.

"Maple Grove." Su Xiao said, "Are you coming?" ”

It is indeed not far from her house, only ten minutes on foot. She said yes, "But you said I didn't buy any furniture, so where do I sit when I go up and sit?" Flooring? ”

“…… There is still a chair. ”

The warm family apartment rented on the summer solstice is an apartment-type community, with only a few buildings in it, all of which are smaller suites, and the rentals are basically singles or small couples.

Fenglin Garden is different, it is a relatively large community, which was built in three phases, and the earliest phase is more than ten years old. There are many types of houses in the community, with large households of more than 100 square meters and single apartments. Su Xiao's house is in the second phase, and the top floor is a small duplex house.

"It's a nice house." Xia Solstice sighed.

The house is decorated in a cold style that she likes, with white maple wooden floors throughout the house, and a small open kitchen on the side of the entrance with gray lacquered wall cabinets.

The staircase is behind the entrance, and the dark brown staircase handrails are matched with the stepped wooden planks, and the white horizontal iron branches are installed, and each staircase is made into a storage cabinet at the same time.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are very high, and Xia Zhi climbed up to the second floor and sat on the top staircase, just enough to see the road flowing like a strip of light outside the window.

As Su Xiao said, the house was in a mess, and the first floor was still stacked with old things discarded by the previous owner, deformed old sofas, coffee tables with missing legs, broken old TVs, etc., all of which were pushed by Su Xiao to a wall and piled up. The rest of the place was spotlessly cleaned.

There was no bed on the second floor, a mattress was placed directly on the wooden floor, and a dark green solid color sheet was laid, not a single fold on the sheet could be seen, and the pillow was stacked on the quilt at the head of the bed like a tofu block.

"If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were from a military background. Isn't it good to spend so much time folding quilts and sleeping for half an hour more every morning? "The summer solstice never folds the quilt, anyway, it has to be spread out, so why fold it.

Su Xiao was boiling water in the kitchen, and he didn't know what to do. "It's good to get used to it, it doesn't take much time," he said. I look comfortable. ”

It's also suitable for him, and he looks like a clean boy.

Xia Zhi took off his shoes and walked downstairs barefoot in his hands. Because Su Xiao said that there was chaos in the house, she ran in her shoes without asking, and now look at the floor, no matter how messy the house is, it is cleaner than her kennel, and she doesn't dare to step on it.

Su Xiao walked through the hallway with a wooden tray holding a pot of tea and two cups, and when he saw her, he said, "Why are you taking off your shoes?" Wearing it, I haven't mopped the floor in two days. ”

Xia Zhi sneered: "Then I don't dare to step on it, I only mop the ground once a week." ”

Su Xiao dragged a box, put the tea tray on the box, and then pulled over the only chair that was still intact: "You sit here." ”

He took a pillow from the old sofa, patted it, and threw it on the floor to sit on the cushion.

Xia Solstice threw his shoes at the door and ran back barefoot.

Su Xiao said: "I'll find someone to clean up these things on the weekend, and it will be better to tidy it up again." ”

"Anyway, it's your own house, if you don't have a lot of money, go and customize an integrated shelf and cabinet, I think you have a lot of things." Xia Zhi didn't sit down, and gestured at the white wall they were backing against, and the boxes below were obviously the luggage that Su Xiao brought from school after graduation.

"Well, that's a good idea. Do you have time to take me to see it? I didn't know about that. Su Xiao poured her a cup of hot tea. Bibi eBook

"Do you think I know?" Xia Zhi smiled, "A person who never thought he could afford a house understands this? Your mother bought you this house, which can be said to save you ten years of struggle. However, if you are going to get married in the future, this house is good-looking, or it is not very practical, live at home, this is a bedroom and a living room, and it is inconvenient to have children. ”

"I don't want anything to happen in the future."

Xia Zhi curiously pulled the drawing board he piled up in the corner, which was a painting that he had nothing to do in his daily life, most of them were abstract paintings with chaotic color blocks, and she couldn't read them.

She heard his voice a little muffled, stopped and looked back at him, he sat cross-legged on the pillow and drank tea, and smiled faintly at her.

"Su Xiao, I don't know what injuries you have suffered, but love is not so terrible. You don't look for a girlfriend because you're afraid of hurting others, it's because you're afraid that others will hurt you. ”

She had already heard him say more than once that he didn't want to find a girlfriend. At first, he just listened and played, and she knew he was serious.

"It's all there." Obviously, the tea was already ready to be eaten, but he still gently blew the light smoke that came out.

Somehow, Xia Zhi remembered Yuan Jiayi. She suddenly realized that Su Xiao and Yuan Jiayi were very similar, they were both people with very exquisite lives, if it weren't for the fact that the two were too different in age, she really wanted to match them.

But she just thinks about it, she hasn't seen Yuan Jiayi for a long time, but judging from Yuan Jiayi's circle of friends, she is doing quite well now. Yuan Jiayi has a new mixed-race boyfriend, the two have a good relationship, and Xia Zhi is estimated to be about to get married.

"Is it still that person? The sophomore one. Xia Zhi asked him. There is only one person who has mentioned it from his mouth.

"Don't ask. All right? He smiled gently.

He picked up the teapot again and poured himself a cup of tea, a full set of clear glass, brown tea overflowing the spout and pouring into the cup. The pot was half empty, and she hadn't taken a sip yet.

"Don't ask." She used to laugh at him, he was so young at that time, and he knew what love was. When you meet a person, you think that you will live for a lifetime, but you don't know that the so-called life is so short.

Now, however, she intuitively felt that things were not as simple as she thought. That person was the one who really made him give up an entire forest.

She turned around and continued to look at the panels stacked vertically on the wall, and when she reached the last wooden frame, she realized that it was not a painting, but a framed photograph.

The size of the photo is about 20 inches, it is a photo studio photo, on the photo, an elderly but still graceful woman is wearing a red evening dress, sitting sideways on a white rattan chair, Su Xiao is wearing a white shirt and suit vest standing behind her, the woman is smiling, but the smile on Su Xiao's face is almost invisible.

From the similar eyebrows and eyes of the two, Xia Zhi guessed that this was Su Xiao's mother.

"Is this your mother? It's so beautiful, no wonder my son is so handsome. What kind of fairy gene is this. Where's your dad? Why not to be on camera? Shouldn't it be handsome, right? Xia Solstice said while watching.

"I haven't seen my dad."

Xia Zhi opened his mouth, first shocked, and then distressed. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's fine. I've been used to it since I was a kid. There was no emotion in his tone, as if he were recounting something as ordinary as buying a bun on his way to work in the morning.

So, Su Xiao was brought up by his mother alone. Xia Zhi suddenly understood that the elegant temperament on his body was actually derived from his mother's elegance, and his neatness, politeness, and gentleness were all deeply influenced by his mother.

From Su Xiao, Xia Zhi saw that it was not easy for Su's mother. A woman has worked hard to build a business independently, and she has raised her son so well, the relationship between mother and son should be very deep.

Xia Zhi looked up and caught a glimpse of a seamless nail nailed to the wall, and then looked down at the photo frame in his hand, the position was just right, it should be nailed to hang this photo. She then lifted the picture and hung it up.

"Don't hang up." Su Xiao said coldly.
