Like this thing, you'll never get an equivalent exchange.

- Xia Yuyang

Unexpectedly, the boy spoke again, "Xie Xiaonuan, do you want it?" ”

It turned out to be Xu Haoxuan.

Xie Xiaonuan hurriedly straightened up and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm fine, it's just that I didn't stand firm, but...... How did you end up here? ”

Xu Haoxuan let go of her without a trace, and explained with a slight smile, "I happened to be passing by, and when I saw Xie Yifei running out angrily, I thought that you must still be inside." ”

"That's right." Xie Xiaonuan muttered in a low voice, "I did make my cousin angry......

Xu Haoxuan didn't hear what she said clearly, but he saw the tears on her face that had not yet been wiped dry, so he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to her, "Wipe it." ”

Xie Xiaonuan came back to his senses, smiled at him gratefully, and then asked, "Did you see where my cousin went?" ”

Xu Haoxuan thought for a while, "She went out and turned left, and then kept walking along the road, I don't know what she was thinking, I called her several times, but she didn't answer." ”

Turn left when you go out, that's the way home.

It seems that my cousin was really angry, so she left herself and went home.

Xie Xiaonuan lowered her eyes in silence, covering the look of loss in her eyes.

Xu Haoxuan noticed that something was wrong with her, "What's the matter, there was a quarrel?" ”

"Yes, she seems to have changed a lot, and she won't be patient enough to listen to my explanations......"

Xie Xiaonuan nodded, and said to herself, suddenly remembering that she was talking to Xu Haoxuan, she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of vigilance.

"I didn't mean anything else." Xu Haoxuan hurriedly explained, "I'm just asking casually, it's okay if you don't want to answer." ”

Xie Xiaonuan's gaze relaxed, still immersed in the sad atmosphere just now, but he whispered "Hmm" and didn't talk to him again.

"It's not too early, it's time for you to go home, it's not safe for a girl to be outside." Xu Haoxuan looked at the sky outside and reminded her in time.

Xie Xiaonuan reacted at this time and smiled politely at him, "Then I'll go home first, what happened just now...... Thank you. With that, he turned and left.

"I'll send you." Xu Haoxuan said behind her.

Xie Xiaonuan looked back at him, thinking that he would send himself home not long after he had known him, maybe he didn't have any malice, but he didn't feel very good.

Just as he wanted to refuse his request, he was suddenly interrupted by a clear voice, "Don't bother you, with you to send her, I don't know what will happen." ”

Xie Xiaonuan heard who it was, and she turned her head excitedly, "Cousin! ”

Xu Haoxuan's dark eyes stared straight at Xie Yifei, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Xie Yifei glared at Xie Xiaonuan, hurriedly dragged her behind her, and reprimanded in a low voice, "You really don't let me worry, why did you meet that bastard again!" ”

Xu Haoxuan frowned at this time and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Xie Yifei, pay attention to what you say, I'm still standing here!" ”

Xie Yifei ignored him at all, raised her hand and gently touched the uncleaned scar on her forehead, and sighed lightly, "If I hadn't worried about you, I would have gone home a long time ago." ”

"I know it's wrong, cousin, let's go home." Xie Xiaonuan was very pleased, understanding that she still cared about herself, so she smiled and flattered her.

Xie Yifei snorted lightly, turned around and walked out of the door, Xie Xiaonuan and Xu Haoxuan said "goodbye" and left in a hurry.

Xie Yifei didn't say a word along the way, Xie Xiaonuan really felt extremely dull, and realized that she had overreacted just now, and wanted to open her mouth to make her clear, "Cousin, I just ......"

"Let's go faster, or we'll be worried if we get home late." Xie Yifei quickly interrupted her, as if she didn't want to hear her explanation.

Hearing this, Xie Xiaonuan looked at her cousin's side face in surprise, and there was no superfluous expression, and the expectation on her face dimmed suddenly.

Xie Yifei caught a glimpse of her loss at this moment, and her two hands couldn't help but clench secretly, and she didn't know how long she desperately restrained herself before she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing again, and the two of them arrived at the door in silence.

"We're back." Xie Xiaonuan went home first, and said a word listlessly, but there was no response, and then he saw that the living room was empty.

Xie Xiaonuan was a little stunned, looked back at his cousin, and found that a trace of doubt flashed in his cousin's eyes.

"Dad? Mother? Xie Xiaonuan exclaimed softly.

"Probably...... It's not home. Xie Yifei tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally said.

"It's weird, this time is also the time when they have just finished dinner, where can they be......" Xie Xiaonuan said what was in his heart for a while, and was about to go inside.

At this moment, Xie Yifei suddenly heard a rustling sound from the room, so she hurriedly grabbed Xie Xiaonuan and whispered, "Shh...... You listen! ”

Xie Xiaonuan paused, pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, there was movement, as if there was a conversation, and there seemed to be a ...... Subtle sobs.

The two of them looked at each other and decided to step forward to see what was going on.

They stood still in front of the door, then bent down together and leaned down by the door, listening carefully to the noise inside.

"Sister, you're right, this result is also what we all want to see." Mother Xie said softly.

"But my decision will make Yifei bitter......" Aunt Xie cried slightly, and her tone was full of melancholy.

"Sister, don't think about it so much." Father Xie's voice sounded, "Yifei grew up with us, just like a daughter, if there are any difficulties, we will solve them together." ”

Xie Xiaonuan secretly glanced at her cousin, saw her cousin's unpredictable expression, and wanted to wrap her shoulder to comfort her, but she didn't expect her to wave her hand and push the door open.

The three people in the room heard the sound of the door, and they all looked this way, and then they were all stunned.

It was Father Xie who reacted first, and he smiled calmly, "You're back, are you having fun outside?" ”

"Happy, happy." Xie Xiaonuan hurriedly piled up smiling faces.

Xie Yifei was silent, staring at Aunt Xie sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, with tears on both sides of her cheeks.

Father Xie didn't hear Xie Yifei's answer, but also felt her strangeness, and his eyes were intertwined with countless puzzles and embarrassments.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a moment.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xie Yifei walked quickly in front of several people and asked straight to the point.

Aunt Xie raised her hand to wipe her tears, trying to squeeze out a smile, "Your father...... He's coming for me again......"

"What, he's not going to be done yet, is he?" Xie Yifei had a trace of anger and wanted to open her mouth to scold, but she felt that this occasion was not quite right, so she still suppressed her anger stubbornly.

"Not really!" Aunt Xie hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, it was he who came to say goodbye to us." ”

"Goodbye?" Xie Yifei stared at her with puzzled eyes, "Say goodbye?" ”

Aunt Xie paused, "He came back this time, originally to ask us to celebrate the New Year with him, I know your stubborn temper, and I also made it clear to him, he didn't want to persuade us anymore, and left in the afternoon." ”

When Xie Yifei heard this, she gradually breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought he was bothering you again." ”

"Yifei, it's not easy for your father, he planned to live a good life with us in the future......" Xie's mother was dissatisfied with her daughter's opinion of her father, and explained carefully.

"Mom, don't talk about it." Xie Yifei stopped her explanation, "The two of us are fine now, and I will take good care of you in the future." ”

Aunt Xie's heart was moved, and she held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Xie Xiaonuan grinned brightly, clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone is happy, it's good, now we can have a good year with peace of mind." ”

Everyone laughed, and Mother Xie also looked at her good daughter with satisfaction, and nodded incessantly.

Early the next morning, Xie's father and Xie's mother discussed going out to buy ingredients for the New Year.

Aunt Xie felt that they had done it in previous years, and she was embarrassed, no matter what she said this year, she had to go with them, but they couldn't resist Aunt Xie, so they had to agree.

So only Xie Xiaonuan and Xie Yifei were left in the house.

After Xie Xiaonuan finished cleaning up the room, he sat in the living room, his eyes casually glanced at the closed door, and he only felt uneasy.

Although my cousin's attitude towards herself was a little better last night, when she returned to the room, she secretly wanted to pull her cousin's hand, but her cousin still avoided it without a trace.

Cousin she ...... I still haven't forgiven myself......

Xie Xiaonuan felt an inexplicable sense of loss coming to her heart, so depressed that she was almost out of breath, and in a trance, Xia Yuyang's handsome face flashed in her mind.

No, it can't go on like this.

Not only for herself, but also for Xia Yuyang, she has to explain the ins and outs of this matter clearly.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaonuan took a deep breath, and after secretly making up his mind, he got up and walked towards his cousin's room.

"Knock knock—"

Xie Xiaonuan lightly buttoned the door, then put his ears close to the door, so nervous that his palms were slightly sweaty.

"Please come in." Xie Yifei's gentle and beautiful voice came from inside.

Xie Xiaonuan tiptoed into the room and found that her cousin was doing an exercise with her back to her, and after she stood still behind her cousin, she asked softly, "Cousin, are you doing the problem?" ”

Xie Yifei's body was stunned, and he didn't look back at her, but just continued to write and calculate on the scratch paper, and replied casually, "Well, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”

Hearing his cousin's instructions, Xie Xiaonuan seemed to have unprecedented courage, and said everything in one breath, "Cousin, I'm here to apologize to you." ”

"Oh?" This sentence finally attracted Xie Yifei's attention, and she turned around and carefully looked at the person in front of her.

Only then did she see that Xie Xiaonuan's face showed endless embarrassment, and she was standing or sitting at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel secretly funny in her heart.

"I really want to apologize to you." Xie Xiaonuan stared at her intently.

"Tell me, what kind of apology do you say?" The corners of Xie Yifei's mouth hooked slightly, turning the pencil, and asked casually.

"Cousin, I admit that I was too excited yesterday, but you are also at fault, and you can't misunderstand Xia Yuyang casually." Xie Xiaonuan clenched his hands, but his tone was extremely firm.

Xie Yifei's smile froze on her face for a moment, and the gentleness in her eyes dissipated little by little.
