Chapter Twenty-Three: One Less Man in the Family

She had never thought that there were so many things she wanted to explore, and as she slowly realized it, she felt that she didn't seem to have the courage to know so many things. Because the more you know, the more you understand, the more you have to bear.

I don't understand if I can bear so many things, the notebook was put away by her, these things are definitely not what she should see, since her father didn't hand it over to her at that time, it means that she is not willing to let herself bear so much, in this case, why should she backfire?

She took out all her things, put them in place, and lay down on the bed with nothing to do. I don't know what to do, coming to this strange environment, coupled with the departure of my father, made her whole body feel exhausted as if she was emptied.

She didn't want to think about unhappy things, but it wasn't something she could control. The heartache spread in an instant.

What should be faced is always to be faced, even if you don't want to think so much now, there will always be a day to open the door to the incident, and then the things inside will pour out, and finally out of control......

People are fragile, cowardly, timid, no one wants to take care of so many things by themselves, although they will have a vigorous scene in their hearts, but when things come to an end, no matter who they are, they all want to live that kind of comfortable, ordinary life, everyone wants to.

"Oh, what am I going to do now? I've never felt so lonely...... can really accompany himself, but there is no one. "Because of the vampire, the school was closed, and not long after, my father died, and I didn't ask my uncle what to do when he went to school.

I can't sleep over and over again, my head is chaotic, and I can't figure out some things, but she also knows that curiosity kills cats, this sentence, but it is still very uncomfortable for her to really not explore.

Curled up on the bed and looked at the layout of the room, it really looked like a room where everyone was beautiful, but she was not the young lady who didn't leave the door, and she didn't have the love of her parents.

I could only look at the necklace around my neck with a dim glow: "I don't know what you're doing now, although it's useless for you to be there, but it's good to have you with you." Touching the beads lightly, revealing a bitter smile.

It was getting dark outside, and Xia Yining was alone in the room, sitting in a daze for more than two hours, and she admired herself more and more.

In a small room, three people sat in different positions.

Zhao Yutong thought about it, pursed his lips, touched the remaining beard with his hand, and said seriously: "Yi Ning Jue is definitely a good child, and the prophecy at that time was just a prophecy, and no one was very sure that he could control the development of things, so it can be seen that in addition to the teachings of the eldest brother, the nature of that child is not bad." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yunxiao also said: "Yes, my cousin is really good, her heart is as clear as a jade, and she has no bad intentions." ”

But who knew that what he got in exchange was just a long sigh from Old Man Zhao, and this sigh seemed to be all the emotions he had accumulated in his heart before he spoke for a long time.

"How could I not know what you are talking about? But what is the use of us saying this? How can we stop the mouths of the people? Seventeen years ago, many people will not forget so quickly, and it is undoubtedly playing with fire to expose her like this......

After saying that, he stroked his gray beard and shook his head. Finally, with a sigh, he slowly stood up and left the room step by step on crutches.

Zhao Yutong, father and son, glanced at each other, lowered their heads, and shook their heads.

"Yunxiao, how is Yi Ning's situation?"

"It's okay, although it's sad, but I haven't given up on life. As he spoke, he showed a signature smile, thinking of her appearance, and thinking that it was really cute: "I think I should let her study with me, so that she can be distracted." What's more, no matter how you say it, she is a descendant of the Zhao Sect, and since the original prophecy was wrong, then she has the right to study together. ”

Zhao Yutong nodded, put one hand on his shoulder, and then patted one of his shoulders with the other hand, showing a pleased smile, and said, "What you said makes sense, then tomorrow will do as you say, but you have to discuss with Yi Ning in advance? Okay, go and call your sister to dinner." ”

It's dinner time, they have always eaten on time, never one minute earlier or one minute later, today Xia Yining came over, although there was an arrangement in advance, but after all, there would still be a gap, so it was half an hour late.

There were only four people at the dinner table, but for her, it was already a lot, because there were usually only two people, and sometimes she was even alone.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Xia Yining didn't have any appetite, if her father was also here today, would the atmosphere be warmer?

Don't be stupid, Xia Yuhang left so resolutely at the beginning, if he sat here to eat today, how could the atmosphere be good? He wouldn't eat here at all, he could think of it with a little brain!

Zhao Yutong sandwiched a meatball for her and put it in the bowl, and said with a smile: "I don't know what you like to eat, that is, I made some dishes in a mess, and I will make you a better one tomorrow, a hamburger or something." ”

I didn't expect that the earthy uncle actually knew such a thing as hamburger steak, and it was really unseemly, and the sea water was incomprehensible, sometimes don't look at such a small person so inconspicuous, in fact, he may be more unexpected than you imagined.

"Thank you, uncle. Xia Yining hurriedly held the meatballs with chopsticks, pressed them into the bowl, and then took a bite gently, soft, delicious, oily but not greasy, this taste is so delicious, I don't know what kind of meat it is, it can be done so well, she really wants to praise: "Well, it's so delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious meat." ”

"It's good to like it, it's good to like it. ”

Old Man Zhao also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in her bowl, and said, "This is a must-have at home, you must like to eat it." ”

Looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl, she didn't know how to eat it, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, in memory, my father is very fond of sweet and sour pork ribs, and I like to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs she made the most, no matter whether it is good or not, it will be eaten up.

Goodbye sweet and sour pork ribs, I didn't expect my dad to be able to eat them again, if she had known that there was today, she would definitely make them every day, and make them for her dad every day, and she wouldn't be so self-blaming now.

Seeing her strange appearance, Zhao Yunxiao's hand was placed on her arm, his face showed a worried look, and he asked softly, "What's wrong." But you don't like it?"

"No, no...... It's just that my dad can't eat anymore, can't eat with me anymore. ”

The atmosphere froze like this, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and each had their own thoughts. In fact, it has nothing to do with Xia Yining's words, this is a pain in everyone's hearts, even if she doesn't say it, everyone is uncomfortable in their hearts, instead of pretending, it is better to show themselves.

But Xia Yining really didn't want to spend dinner in this atmosphere.

After dinner, everyone sat together for a while, asked her about her life with Xia Yuhang, and then went to work on their own.

Now she can't sleep, just go to the yard for a walk, I didn't expect there to be a backyard here, when she first came, she thought there was only another garden in front of her, now it seems, it's really a hole.

There was a small pavilion in the backyard, she sat in it, lying on the wooden table, looking at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was cold, she didn't wear a lot, so she could clear the feeling of coldness.

"What should I do if I catch a cold if I wear so little?"

Hearing this, Xia Yining turned around and saw Zhao Yunxiao looking at her from the side, always with a gentle smile on her face, and a coat in her hand, probably ready to be draped on her body.

Xia Yining smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Sure enough, he draped the clothes in his hand over her, then sat down next to her, looked at her with a smile, and then turned his head and stared at the moon.

Xia Yining also glanced at him, and the clothes that he saw him at noon were also very thin, and said, "Aren't you cold? You don't wear a lot." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not cold. After answering her question, he pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "What do you see?"

Xia Yi pondered for a while and said, "Moon, stars, otherwise, what else?"

After hearing her answer, Zhao Yunxiao smiled and said to her: "It's the night sky, the endless night sky, people often see the stars in the sky, or the moon that is round and short at that time, but they forget that there is also the endless universe." ”

Xia Yining didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he was so selfless, so intoxicated and self-introducing, he didn't say anything, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, people often forget the platform behind showing everything so beautiful.

Accompany him, enjoy the night sky like splashing ink together, and the two of them will joke a few words from time to time.

On the other hand, it's not as harmonious as they are. Not far from here, is the Li family.

They have more rules than the Zhao family, which is simply suffocating. Of course, this is for Yi Ning, who is used to being at ease.

A young man stood in the courtyard, his head bowed, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what was going on.

A man next to him, his face was even more terrifying, staring at him deadly, and finally said: "You are too impulsive! Who do you think you are! Do you think you can fight them? What's more, have you found out the cause and effect of the incident? Don't let others laugh at you in the name of genius!"

These words are really ugly, but Li Yiyan still nodded: "I'm sorry Dad, I'm too excited." ”

"The Li family is the only one you to be proud of, why don't you have any brains at all? Do you think your own strength is strong enough to fight against him? You are a genius, but are you stupid, when can you use your brain?" Li Gang continued to point to his forehead and scold.

Li Yiyan doesn't blame his father for scolding him, no matter how he says this, it's his own mistake, so when he says this, it contains worry, and it also contains hatred that iron is not steel, so he will only learn a lesson.

He nodded vigorously: "I know, I will work harder until I have the ability to defeat him by myself." ”

"Silly boy, do you know that I didn't mean that, even I didn't dare to provoke him, how could you dare to do it yourself? Li Gang held his shoulder, he didn't want his son to be in any danger, and a safe life would be fine.

Who knew that Li Yiyan didn't agree with his words this time, and he didn't appreciate it, but raised his head and looked at him with a firm look: "Because of Dad's idea." So Dad has never been able to beat him, but I'm going to beat him!"
