Chapter 051: First Meeting
At three o'clock in the afternoon, this was the time that Lu Youheng agreed with her, and finally at this time, Xia Xiangxi went to a cafΓ© near Qingjing University. It's quiet here, and there are relatively few guests, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Youheng sitting in the corner, who had already ordered a cup of coffee, and there was a folder in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I'm late!" Xia Xiangxi ran over and immediately apologized.
"No, it's early for me," Lu Youheng stood up and pulled the seat opposite her, "Sit down." β
Xia Xiangxi sat opposite, and the whole person was nervously waiting for the person to ask questions.
"What to drink?"
"I, whatever."
"I heard from Ozawa that you prefer Italian coffee?"
Xia Xiangxi was stunned, "Huh? β
"Because Ozawa said that every time you go for coffee, you order this."
"Oh yes, so be it."
It's strange that this person even deliberately asked Meng Zeyu about his preferences. Xia Xiangxi looked up at him, and immediately avoided his gaze.
Although they are brothers, Lu Youheng's temperament is completely different from Cheng Enyou. This person is very gentle in both speech and demeanor, and his thoughts are very delicate, and he can see that he is a big brother who is very good at taking care of others.
"Can I call you Xiang Xi?"
"Well, yes, as long as Brother Youheng thinks it's convenient, you can call me anything."
Hearing this, Lu Youheng smiled shallowly. This person has a pair of small peach blossom eyes, the tails of his eyes are slightly upturned, and even he usually has a smile in his eyes. Xia Xiangxi looked at it stupidly, he really looked good when he smiled, and his eyes were crooked, like a peach blossom that had just bloomed. The thin lips are pursed to create a suitable arc, which makes people feel very elegant and pleasing to the eye. Maybe it's because of the relationship between dancing and dancing, she feels that this person has an elegant and dignified temperament.
"Xiang Xi, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Oh! Yes, I'm sorry. Xia Xiangxi lowered his head and stirred the coffee with a spoon.
"You must be surprised that I called you over suddenly."
"Brother Youheng, is there something you want me to help with?"
"Well, that's right, it's related to Xiao En."
The spoon in Xia Xiangxi's hand stopped, and sure enough.
"You should have guessed that Eun You and I are not brothers."
"I know, because you don't have the same last name."
"And what do you think?"
"Could it be ......" Xia Xiangxi pondered and didn't say what he really thought, "Are they cousins like Senior Haokun and Zeyu?" β
"No, we are the children of a reconstituted family, and our parents remarried after divorce, so I have no blood relationship with Xiao En. Five years ago, my mother and Eun's father both passed away, so now Eun can only live with me. β
Xia Xiangxi raised her head, she had thought that these two were the children of a reconstituted family, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
"Eun You has no other relatives, although he is reluctant, he can only be with me, maybe it is this that he will be so rebellious and so resistant."
"In the past five years, Brother Youheng, you must have had a hard time."
"Hard? Perhaps, but ......" Lu Youheng smiled again, his face flushed with simple satisfaction, "I feel very happy to grow up with Xiao En, but I just feel happy." It was a bit against his will, but he behaved naturally.
"Enyou, he's a little impulsive, but everything else is good, Brother Youheng, you don't have to worry."
"No, that's just Cheng Enyou in front of you."
"What?"
"Xiang Xi, when you are here, Xiao En is always different."
"Yes...... Is it? β
"Xiang Xi, are you willing to stay in the same class as Xiao En?"
"Same class?" Xia Xiangxi didn't understand what this person meant.
"Jinghuan is very familiar with Xinyi's academic principal, if you agree, I want to put you in the same class as Enyou, Zeyu and Xiao Nuo."
"I agree, it's nice to be in the same class."
"So, can you please grant me one more request?"
"Brother Youheng, you say."
"Can you take more care of Xiao En?" Although he said it very implicitly, Xia Xiangxi still understood, "If there is anything unsatisfactory about Xiao En, please be more tolerant and patient, please don't leave him or abandon him, is it okay?" β
"Brother Youheng, why do you say that?"
"Because ......" Lu Youheng seemed to be thinking about the wording, "Xiao En, this kid is like this, he will always be presumptuous to the people he cares about, he will always be a little special, he is so childish in everything he does, and he can't care about so many consequences, and the way he uses may be extreme, but that is a way for him to express his good feelings." I'm afraid that if that happens, you won't dare to approach Xiao En again. β
"No, I'm good friends with Eunyou, no matter what he does, I will be on his side and will understand him."
Later, when Xia Xiangxi recalled this sentence, he realized how naΓ―ve and ridiculous he was.
After being silent for a while, Xia Xiangxi took a sip of coffee and asked what he had been wondering, "Brother Youheng, I want to ask one thing." β
"Well, what is it?"
"What happened to Eun You four years ago?" Seeing that Lu Youheng's smile froze, she immediately changed her words: "If you feel embarrassed, you can not answer, just let me not say hello." β
To say it or not to say it? Perhaps, it's better for both of them.
"That year was in the winter, I went to the playground with Hao Kun and Xiao Ze, Xiao En was not happy that day, I just wanted to take him to relax, but I didn't expect an accident."
"Accident?"
Saving other storms, Lu Youheng said everything lightly, "We went to the ice rink to skate together, because Xiao En likes figure skating very much together, but I don't know, I originally wanted to learn, I didn't stand still that day with Xiao En's push, and finally collided with Yan Yan." β
"Bumped into each other?"
"Well, my leg fell on the skate blade on the sole of Yan Yan's shoe."
Ice skates? Xia Xiangxi's fingers holding the cup loosened, and the coffee swayed out and suddenly spilled on the table.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I ran away. β
"It's okay, you wait."
The man went to call the waiter with a faint expression, and looking at the dirt on the table, Xia Xiangxi couldn't calm down.
She remembered what Meng Zeyu said yesterday, Lu Youheng was a dancing genius before, is it because of this that he can't dance anymore? Ice skates...... She imagined the sharp knife face, how painful it must be to fall on her knees. It was previously reported on TV that when practicing pair skating, there was news that a female partner was accidentally scratched by a skate blade and died.
Death? Xia Xiangxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"I've had thoughts of killing. γ
[And, I did it too.] γ
[It didn't work out, and although I regret it, I did it. γ
[It's not an angry talk, it's not a prank, I just wanted to kill him at the time, I just didn't want to hear him talk anymore and didn't want to see him again. γ
Cheng Enyou's words at that time echoed in her mind over and over again.
[If you can do it to your family, will you have any kindness to Xiang Xi? ] γ
[A wolf cub is a wolf cub, and finally I can't hold back and reveal my true nature. γ
Why did Xiao Nuo say that day? Could it be that Xiao Nuo knows about this?
Don't...... Cheng Enyou once wanted to kill Lu Youheng and wanted to kill his brother?
"Xiang Xi?"
"Ahh She trembled with fright, and even her face turned pale.
"What's wrong, what's the fuss?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."
After the waiter finished the table and replaced it with a new cup of coffee, Lu Youheng said: "But it's nothing, it's all in the past, but Xiao En has never been able to let go, he was still a child at that time, and it is always normal to be naughty and naughty." β
"It's because of this, Brother Youheng, can't you dance?"
"yes, it looks like someone has mentioned me to you."
"I ...... It's a little bit of listening. β
"Dancing, that used to be my dream, but it's nothing compared to Xiao En."
Even dreams are nothing? She looked at the unchanged smile on Lu Youheng's face, and suddenly felt an urge to stay away.
Pressure, she kind of understood Cheng Enyou's feeling when she looked at this person, it was a kind of breathless pressure.
"Brother Youheng, I'm sorry, I'm going to go first, my mother is still waiting for me at home, I'm afraid she will worry." Without waiting for this person to answer, Xia Xiangxi immediately stood up and bowed slightly, "Next time, let me invite Brother Youheng to tea, I'm sorry, I'll go first." β
"Xiang Xi-" Looking at her back, Lu Youheng said: "If you are embarrassed, I understand it, you can refuse it directly, it doesn't matter." β
"I promise!"
"You promise?"
Xia Xiangxi turned her head, although she looked embarrassed, she still said very firmly: "I promise you, I won't leave Enyou alone." Brother Youheng, thank you for your coffee. β
She walked the streets after she went out, she was too impulsive just now, but no matter what, she just wanted to agree.
With his parents gone, and without even a single relative in the world, it is hard to imagine how lonely that person is. Moreover, why does he have that kind of idea about Brother Youheng? Four years ago, it wasn't an accident, Eun You said that he really wanted to kill him, but he also said that he regretted it. What really happened between these two people? They are not related by blood, are they tied together by the law? Eun You ruined that man's life four years ago, didn't he resent him at all? Is it really like what he said? If their parents are gone, how did their parents die?
Xia Xiangxi's mind was in turmoil, she didn't know if her decision was correct, but as she answered, no matter what Cheng Enyou did, no matter how unknown he was, she was ...... I don't want to leave him, I don't want to leave this person.
Swiped open the phone, and there happened to be a WeChat message from Enyou, but Xia Xiangxi didn't know how to reply, she raised her head, so she had to click on an expression at random.
