She's not lying, she's just been scared, and it's going to be a little weak.

After speaking, she pursed her lower lip, her expression was gloomy, and she looked a little pitiful.

Qiao Zhiyan stared at her little appearance, he was also frightened by her just now, so he spoke in a fierce tone, if it was usual, like her temperament would definitely go back, but now she is a little obedient and not like her, when did she become so well-behaved.

Qiao Zhiyan sighed helplessly, seeing that she didn't seem to be joking with him, he leaned over and hugged her horizontally.

Xu Xiao subconsciously wrapped her hands around his neck, feeling his gaze fall on hers, and she didn't look up at him.

Being hugged by him, I felt very relieved inexplicably.

She rested her head on his chest, listening to the sound of his steady and powerful heartbeat, and for a moment, she wished that time could stop, just at this moment, or that time could slow down a little more, a little slower, let her feel a little more in his arms.

Qiao Zhiyan carried her back to the room, put her on the bed, looked around her, and saw that she had no other injuries, so she was a little relieved.

Raise her eyes, meet her clear eyes, shining pupils, as if filled with a bright galaxy.

He forced himself to look away, got up, and looked down at her. "Rest early, call me if there's anything, I'm in the next room"

Xu Xiao nodded, grabbing the hem of his clothes with both hands.

When Qiao Zhiyan turned around, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Qiao Zhiyan paused, looked back at her, and looked at her with a puzzled look.

Xu Xiao stared at him, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally just said two words in a sullen manner. "Good Night"

Qiao Zhiyan also saw that she wanted to stop talking, and she didn't know what she wanted to say, and her eyes darkened slightly.

Raising his hand, he habitually rubbed the top of her hair. "Good Night"

After Qiao Zhiyan left, Xu Xiao exhaled depressedly.

Thinking about what she had just almost said, she patted her pillow in annoyance.

"Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao, why are you so breathless, what hope are you still haking, don't forget, what he said that night, he would be so good to you, but he just treated you like family, there is no other meaning, do you know?"

"You have to control yourself, you can't shake it anymore"

On the other end, Qiao Zhiyan, who returned to the room, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, walked out of the balcony, lit one, and took a puff, the smoke slowly spit out from his mouth, blurring his vision.

A few days ago, he received a call from Xu Xiao's mother, asking him if he had time, saying that he had something to say to him.

He didn't think much about it at the time, she wanted to talk to him about Xu Hanqing before.

After all, over the years, Xu Hanqing has never come back, and he hasn't had much contact with his family, but he has often been in contact with Xu Hanqing, and sometimes he will go to him when he is free, and by the way, he will tell Xu Xiao's family about some of his situation.

When they met, he thought that Xu Xiao's mother would ask about Xu Hanqing, but he didn't expect that the first thing she said was. "Zhiyan, what kind of feelings do you have for Xiaoxiao?"

When he heard this sentence at that time, he was stunned, judging from Xu Xiaoma's expression, he thought that she had guessed something.

At that time, he was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer her, after all, he did treat Xu Xiao more than just treating her like a child next door.
