Chapter 52: The Misunderstanding Is Resolved
Everything around me was changing so fast that I had to try to catch up.
- Xia Yuyang
On the right side of Xia Yuyang's seat, a bunch of delicate and clean gardenias was lying.
"Xiao Nuan...... Are you okay? Xu Jingjing on the side tentatively tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Xie Xiaonuan felt as if she had been wronged, she only felt that the sourness in her heart kept surging, and the sourness was about to gather together and gush out of her eyes, and she suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
What are you crying about? He couldn't see it again.
Xie Xiaonuan smiled faintly, Xia Yuyang happened to look at it at this time, his eyes were facing each other, Xia Yuyang was stunned, slowly got up, and walked towards this side.
I saw An Yan, who was crying bitterly, raised her head at this time and looked at him blankly, "Brother Yuyang, where are you going?" β
Xia Yuyang suddenly paused, picked up the gardenia lying alone, and approached An Yan's ear and said something.
Xie Xiaonuan laughed self-deprecatingly, you see, what's the use of crying? It's better to laugh.
"Quietly, let's go." Xie Xiaonuan's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if nothing had happened, and turned around and walked away.
Xu Jingjing remained motionless, and her tone was unprecedentedly resolute, "I'm not leaving!" β
Xie Xiaonuan was a little surprised, but he still didn't look back stiffly, "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" After speaking, he wanted to snatch the cake from Xu Jingjing's hand.
Xu Jingjing hid in Tibet, said that he would not give her the cake, and finally ran straight in the direction where Xia Yuyang was.
Xie Xiao stomped her feet so angrily that she caught a glimpse of Xia Yuyang getting closer and closer to her, she hurriedly turned around and ran away, but before she could run a few steps, she was grabbed by the wrist.
"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with you? Why do you run away when you see me? Xia Yuyang asked almost anxiously.
Xie Xiaonuan looked back at Xia Yuyang in a daze, and when she met those familiar eyes, she read a trace of loss, and more of an uncertain panic.
Looking at the knobby hand that was clenching his wrist, Xie Xiaonuan's eyes flickered slightly, and finally plucked up the courage to ask, "What's the matter with you and that girl?" β
Hearing this, Xia Yuyang only felt a lot more relaxed, raised his hand and gently touched the top of her head, and explained to her calmly.
"An Ran and An Yan sisters are my neighbors, their father died tragically on the day An Yan was born, my parents feel sorry for them and treat them as their own daughters......"
Completely unexpected, Xie Xiaonuan stared at him in surprise, unable to say a word.
Xia Yuyang looked at her, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and continued to speak.
"Their mother also died of serious illness in a few years, Sister An Ran took the lead alone, and An Yan depended on each other, recently Sister An Ran came here to open a store, leaving An Yan alone ......"
"I see." Xie Xiaonuan met his eyes directly, and his tone was full of remorse, "I misunderstood you, both of them are good girls, and I want to be good to them." β
Xia Yuyang nodded, "That's right, you are also a kind and good girl." After saying that, the other hand behind her back also stretched out and held the white gardenia in front of her.
"This is a flower for you, I think it matches you very well."
Xia Yuyang's beautiful voice was close to his ears, and his eyes were full of tenderness, which made Xie Xiaonuan feel in a trance for a moment, and suddenly heard a chuckle, and she gradually came back to her senses.
She winked mischievously at him and hurriedly took the gardenia, "I'll take it!" β
Xia Yuyang rubbed her head vigorously, his eyes were full of pampering, but it was only for a moment, he quickly frowned, "You and Lu Zihao ......"
Xie Xiaonuan's face was embarrassed, and he muttered quietly, "It's not because I saw you and An Yan laughing that I said that......"
A hint of cunning flashed in Xia Yuyang's eyes, "What? Is there any grievance in your heart...... Jealous? β
Xie Xiaonuan bit his lip unconsciously, and instead reached out and clenched into a fist, gently hammering him, "I didn't!" I didn't! β
Xia Yuyang grabbed her, laughed happily, and was about to say something more when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Hey! Enough of you flirting, right? Xu Jingjing looked at the pair of handsome men and women in front of her, and couldn't help but have the idea of making fun of her.
Xie Xiaonuan's face was red, and he glared angrily at Xu Jingjing, who was already sitting on the bench, "Quietly! Don't talk nonsense! Turning his eyes to look at An Yan, who was slightly stunned, he walked towards her without hesitation.
When Xia Yuyang saw this, his expression deepened a little, shook his head with a smile, and raised his heels.
"An Yan, don't cry, we are all your friends." Xie Xiaonuan squatted down in front of An Yan, gently held her hand, and his tone was unusually gentle.
An Yan quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, maintaining her inherent pride, and her tone couldn't help but rise, "I'm not the kind of girl who loves to cry!" β
Xu Jingjing couldn't help but quip, "Yes, yes, you're not, I really don't know who cried here before and wiped away tears, scaring both of us to death......"
"You!" An Yan glanced at Xu Jingjing, ignored her, turned her head and continued to look at Xie Xiaonuan, "I like you, I want to be friends with you!" β
Xu Jingjing was dissatisfied, "What about me? β
As a result, An Yan glared at her even more fiercely, "You still need to think about it, who asked you to say something that damaged my image." β
Xu Jingjing opened her throat and shouted at her, "Hey! I'm the one who sits here and comforts you all the time while they're talking, okay? β
An Yan pouted, "So what! β
Xie Xiaonuan couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stopped the imminent battle between the two, "Okay, okay, okay, you all don't quarrel, be quiet, we should also go." β
Xu Jingjing remembered something important, lifted the cake box in a panic, and said to them, "Xiao Nuan and I are going to celebrate the birthday of our grandparents, you play slowly!" β
An Yan was puzzled, "Grandpa? Birthday? β
Xie Xiaonuan explained to everyone what happened today, Xia Yuyang's brows frowned without a trace, "Okay, let's go quickly, and go home early when it's over." β
"Wait a minuteβ" As the two were about to leave, An Yan spoke first, "It's my birthday...... Can I participate? β
Xia Yuyang dragged An Yan in an unhappy tone, "Don't mess around, what are you messing about." β
An Yan stuck out her tongue and her eyes darkened, "I haven't seen my grandparents since I was a child, and I haven't celebrated my birthday, so I want to participate too." β
Xie Xiaonuan thought of An Yan's pitiful life experience, and couldn't help but feel compassion, "Of course you can, then let's participate together." β
An Yan instantly smiled, "Thank you Xiao Nuan, Brother Yuyang is also with you." After speaking, he looked at Xia Yuyang and glanced at him.
Xia Yuyang knew what An Yan meant, so he asked cautiously, "I...... Can you go too? β
Xu Jingjing held her stomach and laughed happily, "Haha...... Unexpectedly, Xia Yuyang, who has always been cold, also wanted to join in the fun......"
An Yan stood up at this time and fought for Xia Yuyang, "Don't make fun of Brother Yuyang!" β
Xie Xiaonuan also smiled secretly, "Okay, since you all want to go, let's all go now!" β
Everyone soon arrived at the Grand Theater, there were few people inside, Xu Jingjing saw Lu Zihao sitting in the front row at a glance, and pointed in the direction where he was, "There!" β
Xie Xiaonuan only felt that a gust of wind was blowing past her, and then she saw a figure flashing by, and when she reacted, she found that An Yan had already sat next to Grandma Liu.
Xie Xiaonuan smiled helplessly, it turned out that An Yan was even more eccentric than Jingjing, now it's okay, she will add another living treasure to her life in the future, it must be interesting.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over, and heard Grandma Liu's kind and kind praise from afar, "Okay, what a good girl!" β
Lu Zihao was puzzled in his heart, and involuntarily glanced at this strange girl a few more times.
"Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Liu, we're late." Xie Xiaonuan sat next to An Yan, smiling all over her face.
Lu Zihao saw Xie Xiaonuan, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, this scene hasn't started long." β
Suddenly catching a glimpse of Xia Yuyang's figure, his breathing stagnated, and soon returned to normal, and the words came out smoothly, "Xia Yuyang is also here, welcome." β
Xia Yuyang nodded at him, and when he looked at the two old men, a light flashed in his eyes, and even his voice was smiling, "Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Liu, long time no see, Happy birthday Grandma Liu." β
Grandma Liu nodded with satisfaction, "The young man is a talent, do you have a target?" If not, grandma will introduce you to one. β
Xia Yuyang gasped and looked embarrassed, "This ...... I ......"
"What nonsense are you talking about, old woman? Natsu is still in school! Grandpa Zhao next to him opened his mouth to reproach and turned his head to look at Xia Yuyang, "Xiao Xia, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown taller again." β
Xia Yuyang laughed, "I'm okay, but Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Liu are still in good spirits and full of energy." β
Grandpa Zhao laughed when he heard this, "It's still Xiao Xia who can speak." β
Everyone sat down together and listened to the play quietly, the relaxing time always passed quickly, Lu Zihao had already booked a nearby restaurant, and when the opera ended, the group walked towards the restaurant.
Xie Xiaonuan looked at the scene in front of her and became more and more familiar, until she stood at the door of the restaurant, she suddenly realized that this was not the "Food Rhyme Garden" where she had dinner with Xia Yuyang's family last time.
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xia Yuyang, but she didn't expect Xia Yuyang to be smiling at her.
Looking at Xia Yuyang's inexplicable smile, she hurriedly retracted her gaze, and suddenly remembered the last time she and him "competed for favor", and couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face.
Lu Zihao led everyone into a private room called "Wisteria House", with a style and luxurious layout, elegant and quiet atmosphere, it is indeed the best choice for dinner.
Xu Jingjing couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Lu Zihao, your family is so rich?" β
Grandpa Zhao also showed a distressed look, "Xiao Lu, let's just eat a little, why do you still come to such a high-end place?" It's a real deal. β
Lu Zihao shook his head indifferently, "Grandpa Zhao, you are laughing, for me, you are my own grandfather and grandmother, I am willing, and it won't cost much to say it, you can relax." β
Hearing this, the two old men were much more relieved.
"Grandma Liu, this is our birthday gift to you, I wish you a good day every year, and a good day every year." Xie Xiaonuan put the gift box in his hand on the table and opened it with Xu Jingjing.
Grandma Liu kept exclaiming, "Good boy, really good boy, much better than my unfilial son." Grandma Liu suddenly burst into tears, looking lonely and sad.
Lu Zihao helped the two old men to their seats, thought for a while, and said to everyone, "I'll come when I go", turned around and disappeared.
An Yan took out a tissue, obediently wiped her tears for Grandma Liu, and whispered a few words of comfort from time to time.
Not long after, they suddenly heard someone push the door open, and everyone was startled and looked towards the door.
