Chapter 7: Ice Release

Luo Xiaoxiao walked to the stone table in the courtyard, lifted the hem of her clothes with one hand and sat down leisurely.

"Sit down, sister." She lifted her eyelids indifferently and said very naturally.

Luo Qinghe looked at his sister who he once loved so much with a complicated expression, and he had mixed feelings in his heart: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, it's not early." ”

The jade-like voice was extremely cold.

"Oh, I almost forgot you guys." Luo Xiaoxiao didn't answer, turned her head and glanced at the few people standing behind her, "Go to the door and keep guard, I don't like to have too many people when talking." ”

Chu Heti hesitated: "But..."

"It's nothing, can't you hear me letting you go?"

The slightly raised tone is full of melancholy.

The attendants closed their mouths in amusement, turned around and disappeared into the night.

The night wind hunted and blew Luo Qinghe coldly, "Second uncle, Xiaoxi, Pei Jiangzhi you all go back first, I'll talk to Luo Xiaoxiao." ”

Luo Xiaoxiao, the change is really not small. The girl who had barbs all over her body when she first arrived at Luo's house was now calmly directing her subordinates. She lifted her steps and walked towards Luo Xiaoxiao, step by step firmer, the past that she had deliberately forgotten these days came to her mind one by one, and she didn't want to think about it, she had to think about it deeply.

"Sister, how lucky are you to escape Zhang Yi's men again and again?" Luo Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, "You are so smart, why are you so stupid when you encounter something related to Zhang Yi?" ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Qinghe lowered his eyes, and his eyes flowed left and right.

Secretly passed the unbelievable road in his heart. At first, she was also hesitant, why could she escape from "almost" every time?

It's not that he didn't doubt that this would be Zhang Yi's danger again, but after thinking about it, he could obviously arrest her directly to get married, so why bother so much? After thinking about it, I had to think that this was my father's spirit in the sky and bless her from falling into the hands of traitors.

It's just that what she's saying now...

"You did it?" Luo Qinghe raised his chin slightly and looked directly into the eyes of the person in front of him, "Why?" ”

She was quite puzzled, "Shouldn't you help Zhang Yi?" ”

"Help him? Hehe. Luo Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "My good sister, you are really blinded by Zhang Yi." ”

"Two years ago, I already told you that Zhang Yi is not a good thing. Why don't you believe it? ”

Luo Qinghe's pupils shrank, and he suddenly recalled the late autumn when the leaves were falling two years ago. At that time, she had already discovered that the so-called falling into the lake was just a good way for Luo Xiaoxiao to come out and play with her, and since then she has been indifferent to Luo Xiaoxiao, and she has lost her former intimacy and affection.

That day, Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared, grabbed her nervously and walked to her room: "Sister, come quickly, I found a big deal!" ”

"Let it go!" Luo Qinghe frowned and scolded, "Luo Xiaoxiao, what trick do you want to play!" As she spoke, she pulled down Luo Xiaoxiao's hand that was holding her.

"Sister, what's wrong with you..."Luo Xiaoxiao took her hand flatteringly, with an innocent look on her face, "Is it that Xiaoxiao did something wrong to make you unhappy." ”

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Luo Qinghe's face slowly turned cold, "Last time I went camping, I fell into the lake because I saved you, but..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a steady footstep behind her, from far to near.

It's Zhang Yi! Her eyes lit up.

Luo Xiaoxiao also heard it, but her expression seemed to become more nervous, and she whispered to herself urgently: "It's too late!" ”

"Sister, I found out that Zhang Yi seems to be plotting against the Luo family! He's behind his back..."

"Qinghe, Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? So happy. Zhang Yi didn't know when he got behind Luo Qinghe, stretched out his hand to hold her, and Luo Qinghe interlocked his fingers with him very naturally.

"Luo Xiaoxiao, do you know what you're talking about? How is this possible! Luo Qinghe hugged the arm of the person next to him, his face was full of surprise, as if he had heard a big joke. She scolded, "This is how you came up with a new way to fix me? ”

"Even if you don't like me anymore, you won't make up such a lie, right?" Her face was full of disdain.

"What?" Zhang Yi asked gently.

"It's nothing, let's go." Luo Qinghe finally turned around and glanced at her, her gaze fixed on her puffy face, I don't know if it was an illusion, she seemed to see an aggrieved look on Luo Xiaoxiao's face.

It must have been dazzled, she thought to herself.

Luo Xiaoxiao still thinks that she didn't put her life into it last time? It's okay to let her dry for a few days, let her know that not everyone will tolerate her pranks without a bottom line.

The cold night is heavy, the sky is slightly revealing some dark blue phosphorescence, and the bamboo forest in the courtyard is sluggish, with the light caress of the wind and makes a rustling sound, as if the sound of cannibalization.

Luo Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Qinghe's gradually unnatural complexion, and was a little worried in her heart, and snorted coldly: "Did my sister remember something?" ”

"Yes, I remember you did warn me."

If it weren't for the absurdity of the day, she wouldn't have remembered it until now. On that day, it was she who chose Zhang Yi, who had always been in love with her, instead of Luo Xiaoxiao, who tricked her several times.

"But how did you know about Zhang Yi's actions?" She pressed down a trace of guilt for wronging Luo Xiaoxiao, and asked flatly, "Also, didn't you go behind my back and Zhang Yi a long time ago?" She didn't finish her words.

With that, she turned a corner in her head.

Could it be that Xiaoxiao was deliberate, and she was tender and sweet with Zhang Yi, just to listen to his every move?

Luo Xiaoxiao changed her posture, cocked Erlang's legs, and naturally took over the conversation, "Secretly?" ”

Luo Qinghe pretended to be indifferent, took a sip of hot tea and was silent, waiting for her to explain.

"If you hadn't believed me that day, how would I have protected you in this way?!" Luo Xiaoxiao was full of anger, "Don't forget how ruthless you were that day, sister." ”

Luo Qinghe secretly thought that she really did it on purpose.

This silly girl.

"So I don't believe you're my fault?" Luo Qinghe thought it was funny, after all, the feeling of being teased at the beginning had not been forgotten.

She gently closed the lid of the tea and warmed her cold hands with the help of porcelain, "Do you want to think about it, since you came to the Luo family, who has been good to you?" And who is it who treats other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and practices it again and again. ”

She paused word by word, and her anger increased with each word.

"Don't say it, you know I can't swim, but why did you deliberately fall into the water to lure me to save you?" Luo Qinghe's eyes flickered, and he unconsciously made people feel a compelling coldness. She asked, "Do you know that I almost drowned, almost." ”

Luo Qinghe looked at the face similar to himself in front of him, and felt that he couldn't see through her.

"Sister, that incident is indeed something I did wrong, and you should be annoyed with me. But I really didn't mean to lead you overboard. Luo Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, and the original fierce momentum around her body was much weaker, "I originally asked you to go to the lake that day to apologize to you and really have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

I've been treating me very well since I came to Luo's house. It's a warmth I haven't had in years. I am afraid that this is just a flash in the pan, and I covet your good to me.

The adoptive father was a gambler and an alcoholic, and his temperament was tyrannical. Every time he got drunk or lost a gamble, he would go home and make a fuss and smash pots and pans. Until one time he saw me cowering in the corner. ”

Luo Xiaoxiao understated it, as if the hero of the story was not her.

He grinned as he picked up the bottom of the pot and tried to hit me on the head. Good thing I ran fast, otherwise my head would have been like a torn pan.

The adoptive mother is greedy for money and cold, and has never cared about these things. What is particularly impressive is that the adoptive father lost the gamble again, and he is worried that he can't find someone to vent when he goes home.

After slamming the door in, he came to me and was moving a small bench to prepare a stir-fry. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xiaoxiao raised her left arm and flipped it around, although it was covered by the windbreaker she was wearing, she still took advantage of the bright moonlight to look at it seriously, her eyes were as cold as water, and she penetrated the windbreaker against the cold.

"My adoptive father found the air outlet, and without saying a word, pushed me to the ground, lifted the hot oil in the pot and prepared to splash it on me."

"He used to come at me whenever he wasn't satisfied, but fortunately, I have gained experience with my reaction speed. But he moved suddenly, and although I quickly rolled over on the ground, I was still spilled with hot oil on my left arm. ”

"It hurts... I didn't sleep all night in pain, and my arms were hot. "The pain is still fresh in my mind.

Luo Qinghe's heart was on fire when he heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, and wanted to pull her left arm to take a closer look, but he still held back.

Even if her own sister is not good in a thousand ways, she is bullied by outsiders like this? !

"My adoptive mother didn't do anything, she leaned calmly and leisurely by the door frame, her hands folded in front of her chest, and thought it was funny that I was turning over and dodging."

Luo Xiaoxiao moved her gaze to Luo Qinghe's face, "Sister, I'm a little thirsty." ”

Without waiting for Luo Qinghe's reaction, she picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "It's a bit far. Sister, I just want to tell you that I am so happy that you have done so well to me. I was scared that it was going to be fleeting, I was afraid that when I woke up I would go back to that hell, I was so insecure. ”

She paused, a little ashamed, "So, I keep tempting you, and I wonder if you will always be so good to me, no matter how naughty I am." ”

Her tone gradually lowered, "I say I'm sorry to you for what happened before, I broke your heart too much, sister. ”

After speaking, Luo Xiaoxiao got up and wanted to bow deeply to Luo Qinghe.

Luo Qinghe's attitude gradually softened, and when he heard what his sister said in person, his heart seemed to be tightly pinched. She got up and grabbed Luo Xiaoxiao, "I know." It turns out that our misunderstanding is so deep. ”

Her eyes were red, and she whimpered, "It's my sister who didn't notice that you were so insecure." My sister knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances in your adoptive parents' family, but she has never heard you talk about these things in person. At the beginning, I blamed my sister for not taking a good look at you and letting you get lost. ”

"But Xiaoxiao, you must know that not everyone can unconditionally test your sincerity, sometimes, the more you test something, the easier it is to lose something."

Luo Xiaoxiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Luo Qinghe's cheeks, and hugged Luo Qinghe tightly, "Sister...."

"But I never expected that you would almost drown in the lake that day. I saw a colorful little fish in the lake, and thinking that you would like it, I found a net to catch it, but I accidentally fell into the lake. ”

"Even though I can swim, I still subconsciously called for help, but I actually got you into the water to save me."

"Sister, do you know that the moment you went into the water desperately to save me, my heart seemed to be filled with something, and I was very satisfied." Luo Xiaoxiao said vaguely with a crying voice, and sniffed.

Luo Qinghe hugged Luo Xiaoxiao hard, and everything was silent.
