Chapter 54: Dilemma
I'll take the time to tell you that I'm more than a fleeting curiosity about you.
- Xia Yuyang
Xia Yuyang was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down his hand, and only after a long time did he confide in the word "yes".
"What did you say?" Xu Jingjing shouted angrily in a cold tone, she became more and more upset for Xie Xiaonuan, and suddenly rushed up and grabbed Xia Yuyang's collar tightly, "You have the ability to say it again!" β
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiaonuan still didn't speak, she turned her face away, hung her head very low, and tears rolled out of her eyes again, dripping on the ground with a "pop".
An Yan was a little surprised, "Hey, Xiao Nuan, why are you crying?" β
Seeing this, Lu Zihao walked quickly to Xie Xiaonuan, took out a tissue, raised his hand to wipe her tears, thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and handed it to her instead, and said softly, "Wipe it." β
"Thank you." Xie Xiaonuan said softly, hesitated, but still took it.
Xia Yuyang saw Lu Zihao's overtures to Xie Xiaonuan, his heart was a little colder, and he couldn't help but want to step forward, but he was fiercely suppressed by Xu Jingjing and couldn't move.
"Xiao Nuan, listen to my explanation......" Xia Yuyang spoke anxiously.
"Jingjing-" Xie Xiaonuan interrupted him without hesitation, turned to Xu Jingjing and said, "Let's go home." β
"Well, good!" Xu Jingjing let go of Xia Yuyang and snorted coldly, "Take good care of your An Yan, stay away from us in the future!" β
Xia Yuyang stepped in front of Xie Xiaonuan, blocking her way, holding her arm tightly, his voice sounding anxious, "You listen to my explanation." β
As if he had been electrocuted, Xie Xiaonuan suddenly shook off the hand that was clenched tightly and yelled, "Don't touch me!" β
Xia Yuyang was really stunned, he was used to seeing Xie Xiaonuan, who was gentle on weekdays, and he had never seen her like this, this roar really startled him.
Xu Jingjing pushed Xia Yuyang away and pulled Xie Xiaonuan past him.
Lu Zihao thought about it quickly, and shouted to the two girls who hadn't gone far, "I'll send you home!" β
Xie Xiaonuan responded in a soft voice in front of him, "Okay." β
Lu Zihao glanced at Xia Yuyang, and was about to catch up, but Xia Yuyang grabbed his arm, Lu Zihao raised his eyes, and saw loss, unwillingness and anger in Xia Yuyang's eyes.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Lu Zihao's mouth, "You better take care of your own affairs first." His eyes inadvertently glanced at An Yan, and then ran forward.
Xie Xiao was warm, her limbs became tired and weak, she hugged herself hard, the surroundings were getting colder and colder, she only felt so tired, she really wanted to go home and sleep.
Suddenly, her body warmed, and a unique mint fresh breath wrapped her tightly, her eyes lit up, and she tilted her head slightly, looking at the familiar coat on her shoulder.
Her eyes then darkened again.
Not him.
She sighed and said softly, "Lu Zihao, thank you, in fact, you don't have to be so good to me......"
Lu Zihao was stunned for a moment, and raised a smile, as if he was talking to himself, "You deserve me to be good to you, this is what I am willing, don't say thank you, don't have any burden." β
Lu Zihao said this sentence lightly, but when Xie Xiaonuan heard it, it smashed into her heart like a thousand-pound stone, so that she didn't have time to dodge at all.
Xu Jingjing also heard Lu Zihao's heartfelt words, and looked at him deeply, and her heart was complicated and indescribable.
Xia Yuyang, who was standing in place, looked at the backs of the three people in front of him, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes were bright and dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Yuyang......" An Yan squeezed the sugar gourd in her hand tightly, her eyes full of panic and uneasiness, "Why are they all gone?" Did I say the wrong thing? β
Xia Yuyang came back to his senses at this time, the loss just now had disappeared, and his face became serious, "An Yan, I've told you many times, it was just a joke when I was a child." β
An Yan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she snorted, and she didn't cry out, "You obviously promised me, you lied!" I'm going to ignore you anymore! β
Xia Yuyang rubbed his temples that were beating violently, "I've explained this matter to you many times, why don't you still refuse to admit it?" β
"I don't listen! Brother Yuyang is a bad guy! I'm going to tell my sister! Ahn Yeon covered her ears tightly and ran forward quickly.
"An Yanβ" Xia Yuyang sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly as he sat on the steps beside him.
"Quietly ......" Halfway through, Xie Xiaonuan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Jingjing, "I don't want to go home yet." β
Xu Jingjing was stunned for a moment, "Then where do you want to go?" β
Xie Xiaonuan showed a smile, "Why don't you go to your house, I haven't seen Diandian for a long time, and I miss it a little." β
"Okay, let's go." Xu Jingjing nodded, turned his head to look at Lu Zihao, "Then Lu Zihao ......"
Lu Zihao immediately understood, "I have something to go first, since you have already decided where to go, then you should pay attention to safety on the way home, I will not send you." β
Xie Xiaonuan said "um", thought about it, and couldn't help but say, "Lu Zihao, thank you." β
Lu Zihao's voice was very gentle, and he didn't know what was going out in his eyes, "I said it, you don't have to say thank you to me, don't you treat me as a friend?" β
Xie Xiaonuan chuckled, "Yes, don't say thank you, then let's see you again." β
The three of them parted, Xu Jingjing held Xie Xiaonuan's arm and said softly, "Xiaonuan, are you feeling better?" β
Xie Xiaonuan's face was full of sadness for a moment, and his mood was also very low, "It's not good, quietly, I'm not good at all." β
Xu Jingjing raised her hand and patted her back, thinking hard, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, Xiao Nuan, I know there is a special dessert shop, so I'll take you to try it now." β
Xie Xiaonuan glanced at her, knowing that she was comforting herself, and she couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay, let's go." β
CINDERELL, Cinderella.
A fantastic dessert shop name.
Cinderella, who is strong and brave, kind and kind in the fairy tale, eventually becomes a queen, forgives her stepmother who hurt her, and reaps her own happiness.
As soon as you step into the store, the pale pink tables and chairs, the sky blue walls, and the romantic and beautiful decoration style make you feel like you have really entered a fairy tale world.
"Jingjing, when did you discover such a beautiful dessert shop?" Xie Xiaonuan picked a seat and sat down, looking east and west, and couldn't help but admire.
"Huh? Just walk around and see it. A hint of shyness flashed in Xu Jingjing's bright eyes, and her earlobes were slightly crimson.
Xie Xiaonuan was a little surprised in admiration, the two of them are usually inseparable, when is she so free that she can still find time to go shopping by herself?
She glanced at Xu Jingjing's face suspiciously, waiting for her to respond.
Seeing Xu Jingjing's head hanging lower and lower, Xie Xiaonuan snorted and laughed, "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" Is there anything you don't know about......"
"Xiao Nuan!" Xu Jingjing glared at her with shame and anger, "Don't make fun of me, He Yunye asked me to come here at Christmas......"
Xie Xiaonuan was still smiling, "I knew that your little secret could never be hidden, and nothing could be hidden from me." β
Xu Jingjing patted her gently, suddenly reacted to something, and looked at her face carefully, "Xiao Nuan, you finally smiled!" β
Xie Xiaonuan was stunned, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "Yes, with you, a living treasure with me, of course my mood is not bad." β
Xu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, what do you want to eat?" Today I have a treat! β
Xie Xiaonuan met Xu Jingjing's eyes, and suddenly blinked, "Then order-"
"The old three! Vanilla pudding, coconut water sago, lemon honey water! The two girls said in unison, smiling faces.
Xie Xiaonuan scooped a spoonful of pudding into his mouth, closed his eyes contentedly, the sadness and sadness just now had disappeared, and sure enough, dessert was a good medicine to cure all unpleasantness.
Xia Yuyang sat on the steps and calmly recalled that he almost couldn't remember the words of comfort to An Yan when he was a child, but he didn't think that An Yan would take it seriously for many years.
He has always wanted to explain to Xie Xiaonuan, but how can he explain it clearly so that she can understand herself?
Her aggrieved look still kept coming back to her mind, and he slapped his head hard, trying to sober himself up, he must have hallucinated.
In a dilemma.
He felt that his whole body and mind were in endless torment, and he reached out to rub his forehead, only to feel exhausted.
All kinds of problems are mixed together, and I can't figure it out, so forget it, let's go home and sleep first, and then rethink when I get up tomorrow.
Having made up his mind, Xia Yuyang slowly stood up, his legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time, he hammered his knees, and staggered home.
"Sister! Brother Yuyang didn't even talk much! An Yan strode into the store and shouted at An Ran.
At this moment, An Ran was entertaining guests, and she glared at An Yan dissatisfiedly, "An Yan, don't be rude." He turned to the guest and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." β
The guest was a middle-aged man, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he shook his head indifferently, got up and said, "It's okay, since you have something, I'll come back another day." β
An Ran hurriedly got up, said a few kind words, sent the guests away, and looked back at An Yan, "Say, what's wrong with you?" β
An Yan pursed her lips, her tone full of displeasure, "Brother Yuyang said that he used to say that marrying me was a joke. β
An Ran sighed and said earnestly, "Xiaoyan, why do you always hold on to this matter?" Didn't Xiao Yang make it clear back then? β
"I don't care!" An Yan shook her head vigorously, "Since he promised, he must do it!" β
An Yan continued to persuade, "You are sober, their family has treated us well for so many years, you listen to me, don't add pressure to Xiao Yang, this is good for all of us." β
An Yan couldn't listen to it at this time, and shouted angrily, "Why! I'm going to pester him! β
An Ran's anger also surged up all of a sudden, she couldn't control it for a while, shook her hand, and slapped An Yan in the face very hard.
"Smackβ" A crisp sound echoed through the room for a long time.
