Chapter 113: Impunity
I may not be the same as I seem, and you may not like me like this
- Xie Xiaonuan
"I didn't lie to you, Xiao Nuan, your grandparents...... It's really gone......" Mother Xie covered her mouth and broke down and cried.
"How is it possible, my grandparents are so kind and spoil me so much, how can they pass away, and they promised me that they will always watch me grow up......"
Xie Xiaonuan muttered to herself as if she had lost her soul, and her eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, and suddenly, her eyes widened, and she pushed Mother Xie away like crazy, and rushed to the door regardless of it.
"Xiao NuanβXiao Nuan, where are you going?"
Xie's mother's tears couldn't help blurring her eyes, and she wanted to go forward to chase Xie Xiaonuan, but due to excessive sadness, her whole body had become paralyzed, and she leaned against the wall weakly, so she could only call out loudly.
"I don't believe it, I'm going to find my grandparents!" Xie Xiaonuan cried out in despair, his hands already touching the doorknob.
Who knew that before Xie Xiaonuan could exert his strength, the doorknob had been gently unscrewed, and then the door opened, and Father Xie was greeted by him.
Father Xie saw Xie Xiaonuan's tearful and heartbroken appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly overflowed with distress and pity.
"Xiao Nuan, why are you crying so well? Didn't you miss me, didn't Dad come back? β
Father Xie raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and asked with concern, not forgetting to tease in his concern, trying to make his daughter's mood better.
"Dadβ"
Seeing Father Xie's familiar concern, Xie Xiaonuan's grievances and sadness came to her heart together, and she suddenly threw herself into Father Xie's arms and cried loudly.
At this moment, Xia Yuyang is at home.
"Mom, do you hear any voices next door?" Xia Yuyang was sitting in the living room flipping through a book, and suddenly asked Aunt Xiangjiang.
"What sound? I didn't hear it, you read a book, don't disturb me watching TV! Aunt Jiang patted him on the shoulder impatiently and turned her attention to the TV.
Xia Yuyang was thoughtful, but the next door was indeed very quiet, maybe it was really his own auditory hallucination, so he shook his head and continued reading.
Father Xie's eyes darkened, and he reacted quickly, he hurriedly stretched out a hand to close the door, and then hugged Xie Xiaonuan back, "What's the matter?" Talk to Dad about ......"
Xie Xiaonuan was buried in his arms and didn't want to look up, with a heavy cry in his voice, "You tell me the truth, grandparents...... Did you really pass away? β
Father Xie was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Mother Xie, and found that Mother Xie was already sitting on the sofa at this time, crying silently, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes.
"Your mother, told you everything?"
Mother Xie explained a little anxiously, "Hongwei, I didn't mean it...... I really don't want to have nightmares every day anymore and live in fear to live in fear before I said ......"
"Xie Xiaoxiao!" The anger that Father Xie was holding back in his stomach suddenly rushed to the top of his head, he still hugged Xie Xiaonuan with one hand, and pointed at Mother Xie with the other hand.
"Have you forgotten what we discussed before? Why do you let our daughter suffer because you don't want to be afraid? Why are you so selfish? Are you still a mother! β
Hearing Father Xie's angry voice, Xie Xiaonuan was so frightened that he trembled all over, and wanted to let go of Father Xie, but who knew that he might be angry and involuntarily imprisoned himself very tightly.
She couldn't move at all.
So she had to whisper, "Dad, Mom is also for my good, I've grown up, do you still want to hide it from me for the rest of your life......"
Father Xie's body stiffened, he had never felt so powerless, he clenched his hand into a fist and hammered the wall hard, then hung down slightly, and then let go of Xie Xiaonuan.
Xie Xiaonuan was able to break free, and was just about to complain about Father Xie, but vaguely saw a drop of crystal in his eyes, which was slowly falling down his eyelashes.
Xie Xiaonuan sighed softly, and the sadness and loss just now were also reduced a little, and he turned to gently pat Father Xie's back and said softly.
"Dad, since this is the case, let's not hold anyone responsible, you should have told me the truth earlier, and let me complain about my grandparents for so many years......"
"Xiao Nuan, it's all bad for my father, I shouldn't let your grandparents and two elderly people pick you up, I should go by myself, I should ......" Father Xie muttered indistinctly.
"Dad, it's all over." Xie Xiaonuan held back her crying and explained to him, "Grandparents are no longer there, they are in another world, and they don't want to see our sad and lost ...... for them anymore."
Father Xie raised his head suddenly, looked at his daughter in front of him in surprise, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.
His dear daughter, at last, grew up.
"Xiao Nuan ......" Father Xie wanted to continue to say something, but he really couldn't say those meaty words, so he simply closed his mouth and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
Mother Xie had already stopped crying, and at this moment she kept her head down, not daring to meet Father Xie's scrutinizing gaze.
Father Xie finally sighed helplessly when he saw Mother Xie's low eyebrows, but he still couldn't bear to blame her.
"Since you've already told Xiao Nuan, it's inconvenient for me to say anything more, so let's stop here." Dad Xie said the words "so far" very seriously.
Mother Xie understood what he meant, and quickly nodded, "I understand." β
Father Xie turned his head to look at Xie Xiaonuan, his eyes were filled with soft warmth, "Xiaonuan, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early." β
Xie Xiaonuan was afraid that his parents would be sad, and he didn't want to ask more about the things of the year, so he got up and returned to the room obediently.
"Hongwei, I ......" Mother Xie said.
"You don't have to say it, it's all the way it is anyway." Father Xie quickly interrupted her, "I hope you don't confide in Xiao Nuan again, especially when the perpetrator is still at large......
"I know, I'm never going to say that." Mother Xie stretched out her hand to make an oath.
"Hey, there's no way, since Xiao Nuan already knows, one weekend, let's take her to her parents' cemetery." Father Xie said helplessly.
Mother Xie nodded, didn't say anything more, and looked at Xie Xiaonuan's bedroom faintly, looking extremely sad.
Xie Xiaonuan turned over and lay on the bed at this moment, covering his eyes with one hand, and a large number of tears overflowed between his fingers.
Her grandparents died......
That's the grandparents who love her the most and are willing to give all the good things to her.
She didn't want to believe what her mother said, but even her father didn't argue, it seemed that it was really right.
"Grandpa...... Grandma ......"
Xie Xiaonuan's lips trembled, and she muttered this sentence repeatedly, her tears condensed into large ones and rolled downward, and finally when the tears were about to drain, she finally fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Xiaonuan got up early the next day, she stood in front of the mirror and looked, her eyes and face were already swollen from crying, she reached out and wiped her cheeks, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Predictable.
Xie Xiaonuan finished washing, covered it up with Xie's mother's concealer, thought about it and put on a pair of black-framed flat glasses, didn't stay any longer, didn't eat breakfast, and went out of the house.
Father Xie, who was sitting at the dining table, kept pretending to read the newspaper until his daughter's figure disappeared completely, and his hand holding the newspaper became tighter and tighter.
Xie Xiaonuan went out and happened to meet Xia Yuyang, who was closing the door, she was stunned suddenly, but she still smiled at him, "Morning." β
Xia Yuyang's eyes lit up, it was the first time he saw her wearing glasses, and he looked much quieter, but when he suddenly noticed those red and swollen eyes, his eyes immediately dimmed again.
"Are you crying?"
Xie Xiaonuan's shoulders stiffened slightly, and he shook his head slowly, "No, let's go, I'm going to be late." β
Xia Yuyang wanted to continue to ask her, but the door behind her suddenly opened, and Mother Xie's voice came, "Xiao Nuan, bring breakfast, don't be hungry......"
Seeing that Xia Yuyang was also at the door, Mother Xie stopped ordering.
"Good morning, Auntie." Xia Yuyang greeted politely.
"Good morning, has Yu Yang eaten?" Mother Xie asked him with a smile.
Before Xia Yuyang could answer, Xie Xiaonuan quickly took the bread and milk from Xie's mother, and dragged Xia Yuyang downstairs.
A hint of loss flashed in Xie's mother's eyes, and then she turned around and went home.
"Xie Xiaonuan, you slow down." Xia Yuyang reminded her, but her burning gaze was inseparable from the little hands holding her.
"If you slow down, you'll be late, the first period is Lao Wang's class, and I don't want to be reprimanded by him again." Xie Xiaonuan didn't look back, still pulling him forward.
Xia Yuyang smiled dumbly, but still said at the right time, "Are you sure you want to go to school hand in hand with me?" I'd love to......"
Hearing this, Xie Xiaonuan let go of his hand like an electric shock, and threw a few flying knives at him, "Hooligans!" β
Xia Yuyang smiled helplessly, "Hey! You were the one who took my hand first, why did you start blaming me? β
Xie Xiaonuan was a little angry, she hurriedly glanced around, and then roared in a low voice, "You be quiet!" β
"Okay, okay, I know you're thin-faced, I won't tease you, let's be serious, have you ever cried?" Xia Yuyang said.
Xie Xiaonuan didn't stop, and lowered his head with a "hmm".
"Why?" Xia Yuyang asked her with concern.
"Xia Yuyang, I don't want to say it now, I will definitely tell you in the future, I promise." Xie Xiaonuan looked at him in a sincere tone.
"Okay."
Hearing Xia Yuyang's answer so refreshingly, Xie Xiaonuan was obviously a little surprised, and was about to say something more, when suddenly behind them, a gentle and beautiful female voice sounded.
"Xie Xiaonuan, Xia Yuyang, good morning."
Xie Xiaonuan looked back at the person who came, and immediately smiled, "Song Yiyi!" β
Xia Yuyang stared at Song Yiyi tightly, there was no trace of joy and anger in his eyes, just a calm ink.
