Chapter 173: Heart-to-Heart
The look on Yun Xiao's face was completely filled with disappointment at the moment, and in just one sentence, there was already too much indescribable loneliness and inexplicable bitterness.
Looking away from his son, Han Xin, who was on the second floor, looked around the entire hall slightly, and after seeing that Liu Qingyi was indeed not found, there was also a stunned expression between his eyebrows.
However, she didn't have too many mood swings like Yun Xiao, she just walked downstairs slowly, sat next to Yun Xiao, held the latter's shoulder, and said in a tone that didn't know whether it was comfort or speculation: "Qingyi is not an untrustworthy girl, since she promised to help you make up for the class, she won't break her promise easily, I think it may be that she left in a hurry, right?" β
"Okay Mom, you don't have to comfort me, I know."
Yun Xiao withdrew her mother's hand from her shoulder, then slowly stood up, and after responding lightly, she walked to her room with slightly heavy steps.
"Knock-" There was a loud noise, and the door was closed.
Looking up at Yun Xiao's back with a clear emotion of loss just now, Han Xin smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to do for a while, but after a long sigh, he didn't know how long he sat in the living room, and then he gradually stood up and wanted to go back to his bedroom.
"Jingle bellsβjingle bellsβ"
A crisp doorbell rang suddenly, and Han Xin's steps paused slightly, then turned around and slowly walked to open the door.
"Huh-huh-aunt......"
The door opened lightly, and a familiar white shadow appeared in front of Han Xin, who looked surprised, and it was Liu Qingyi, who had already left!
Looking at Liu Qingyi, who was holding the homework book in one hand in front of him at this moment, and the other hand was inserting his slender waist and panting lightly, Han Xin was slightly stunned at first, but then understood, and then smiled, as if he had already greeted him softly: "Qingyi, if you take the things away, forget it, why do you have to go home and run again?" I'm tired, come in and rest. β
"Auntie, I'm fine, this note is very important, if you don't bring it, then completing Yunxiao's lesson today is likely to be half the effort."
Liu Qingyi wiped a handful of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, then smiled, and let Han Xin help him into the hall.
Helping Liu Qingyi to sit on the sofa, Han Xin looked at the latter's innocent smile on his face, and felt a little distressed in his heart, and his nose was also a little astringent and pantothenic.
In order not to let Liu Qingyi find out, Han Xin immediately raised a light smile, and then signaled to the former: "You sit down and rest for a while, and Auntie will pour you a cup of hot water." β
When Han Xin walked to the water dispenser to take a cup and pour hot water, Liu Qingyi's breathing, which was still a little short, finally eased up slightly. She swept her gaze to the hall, but she didn't find Nalan Yunxiao's figure around, and she couldn't help frowning with shallow doubts.
After a while, when Han Xin sat back beside him and handed the slightly steaming water cup to his hand, Liu Qingyi asked with some curiosity: "Auntie, why didn't you see Yunxiao?" β
"Oh, he'......"
Han Xin was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he couldn't help laughing, and then explained angrily under Liu Qingyi's slightly changing gaze-
"Yun Xiao didn't see you when he came out, and thought you were leaving. So now a person who locks himself in his room and is sulking! β
"Uh-" Liu Qingyi's originally curious face couldn't help but be embarrassed in an instant, but then it was quickly replaced by displeasure.
She took a sip of hot water gently, then put it on the table in front of her, got up and looked at Han Xin's small mouth and pouted slightly: "It turns out that in his eyes, I am such an untrustworthy person?" Hmph, Auntie, you wait, I'll go upstairs to find him to theorize. β
After Liu Qingyi finished speaking, Qiong let out a soft snort, and then got up without hesitation, not taking into account that he had not fully rested, and walked quickly towards Yun Xiao's room under Han Xin's slightly abrupt gaze.
Han Xin behind her looked at Liu Qingyi's thin and tenacious figure, and there was a little appreciation in her eyes, and then she nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then slowly returned to her room.
"Bang bang bang-"
A slight and rapid knock on the door fell, and Liu Qingyi, who came to the door of Yunxiao's room, had the same expression on her face as she was when she knocked on the door.
"Mom, don't bother me, let me stay alone for a while!" Yun Xiao seemed to complain a little grumblingly, and her words were a little dull because she covered her head from under the quilt.
"Parasite, you're not going to sleep, are you? Hurry up and open the door, or I'll be gone. β
Hearing that Nalan Yunxiao actually mistook people for his mother, Liu Qingyi couldn't help but feel a touch of helplessness in his heart, but then he was angry again, and then called softly into the house.
"Qingyi?"
Hearing this familiar girl's strange voice as pleasant as a rattle, the loss and gloom on Yun Xiao's face that were originally dense also suddenly froze, and immediately began to be slowly replaced by surprise.
Then he immediately got up from the bed, picked up the book that he had just thrown into a corner of the corner from the ground, and walked quickly to the door, but the tone of the response deliberately suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to reply indifferently: "Where did I sleep?" Wait for me to open the door for you. β
Approaching and slowly opening the delicate Tanya door, Liu Qingyi's face like a fairy out of the dust also came into Yun Xiao's sight again. The latter was slightly stunned, and looked at Liu Qingyi like this, and didn't know what to say first for a while.
"What's wrong with you, why did you invite me in? I'm going to have to give you some refreshment for next week's exam. β
Liu Qingyi's big crystal-like eyes moved away from Yun Xiao's face in surprise, and then he didn't have too much politeness, pushed away Yun Xiao, who was still blocking the door, and walked into the house generously, still saying his own orders in his mouth.
"There's a lot to talk about today, and you'll have to hurry, because I have other things to do in the evening. However, you're a pretty good learner, so I think you'll be able to remember it twice, right? β
However, looking back at Liu Qingyi and telling them one by one with a solemn expression, Yun Xiao didn't seem to listen at all, but after the former finished speaking, Fang suddenly frowned and asked, "Can't you have dinner at my house before leaving?" β
"What's the matter, I sneaked here behind my dad's back, so I have to go home and eat. And I don't want to ...... with your father."
Liu Qingyi's tone suddenly became lower when she said this, and she also knew that when she and Nalan Yanfeng quarreled several times, Yun Xiao was caught in the middle and suffered.
"Well, now that you've decided, forget it."
Yun Xiao pursed her lips, a flash of disappointment flashed on her face, and she felt a little helpless in her heart. Although he really wanted Liu Qingyi to stay for a while, he also knew that he could barely do this kind of thing, so he could only choose to give up for the time being.
"By the way, where did you just go?"
As soon as Liu Qingyi walked to a wooden table by the windowsill and sat down, Yun Xiao, who followed behind him, asked loudly, with a hint of curiosity in his words.
"Oh. I took the notes I was going to talk about, so I went home. Liu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yun Xiaoqian and explained with a smile.
The corners of Yun Xiao's lips moved slightly, but he didn't ask anything more, but his heart was slightly warm, he didn't expect Liu Qingyi to care so much about tutoring for himself......
"Sit down, I'm going to start talking to you about the key points of the first chapter of the exam, listen up. It's better that you also learn to take some notes, and don't keep everything in your head, because it will still be easy to get confused after a long time. β
Liu Qingyi finished speaking earnestly, and didn't notice Yun Xiao's strange eyes that kept staring at his face, so he began to look at the notes and understanding in the book, and began to explain vividly.
Nalan Yunxiao had a pen sleeve on the corner of his mouth, although he occasionally glanced down at the book, but more often he still stared at Liu Qingyi, and a faint smile full of attachment appeared on his lips.
Maybe even he didn't realize that he had never been able to concentrate peacefully for a moment when he was studying, and in front of Liu Qingyi, his mood would become so precipitated and docile.
"Huh?" As if finally noticing a hint of something unusual, Liu Qingyi's slender curved eyelashes blinked lightly, and then turned his head to look at Yun Xiao, who was still in a daze, and his eyes met the latter's handsome but somewhat distracted eyes, and a touch of crimson occasionally flashed across his face, and he was slightly angry-
"Have you seen enough? I'm explaining the course to you, why don't you stare at me like you haven't seen me for a long time. β
"Liu Qingyi." Yun Xiao's expression was slightly softened, and his tone suddenly swelled with softness and sincerity, and he called the latter lightly.
"What do you want?"
Seeing that Yun Xiao obviously didn't listen at all, Liu Qingyi was also a little helpless, in fact, she knew that the former didn't like this major, so he came to study in the business school, completely arranged by his father, which was out of his control.
Liu Qingyi had also experienced this kind of involuntary taste, so after she shook her head lightly, the unhappy look on her face gradually retracted, and she smiled lightly and waited for Yun Xiao to answer.
"Let's reconcile."
The faint five words came out of Nalan Yunxiao's mouth, but they contained the firm emotions of the moment, who had always spoken casually, and the sincerity and apology that were deeply contained in those pair of dark eyes.
He knew that in the past, he and Mo Qingfeng always liked to play tricks on Liu Qingyi, and sometimes even caused her to be punished with him......
The scenes of fighting and slapstick in the past are now recalled, and Yun Xiao actually feels a little sweet and warm. It seemed that he had never felt that there would be a second woman other than his mother, and that he had developed such a strong sense of dependence in his heart.
But Yun Xiao, who was a little uneasy and too sure of this feeling before, has now fully understood. He knew that this kind of touch was not family affection or friendship, but the love of men and women born from the heart!
