Xu Huai had indeed not seen Xu Xiao for a long time, and even when they met, they rarely spoke.

Later, Xu Huai and Xu Ran talked about this matter heart to heart. Looking at their sister who often looked timid, they realized belatedly that they had overlooked something.

It’s not that they feel Xu Xiao is elusive, nor is it that they don’t want to pay attention to Xu Xiao.

But it has changed.

They have changed, or maybe they haven't. They are trying to break away from the Xu family's support.

Knowing clearly the secret that Xu Xiao was carrying, it was impossible for them to get close to Xu Xiao without relying on the Xu family.

They just want to be brothers and sisters, not brothers and sisters of the Xu family.

That night, the two of them sat in the courtyard, staring at the darkened room in the middle of the room. They smiled wryly at each other. My sister wasn't the same sister she once was.

Last time at Xu's house, Xu Huai was rarely absent-minded. Looking at the girl with a cold expression, he felt distressed.

He thought he was wrong, but when he walked out, Xu Ran expressed the same feeling.

They wanted to turn back, but were afraid it was all an illusion. In the end, he and Xu Ran didn't go in again.

Xu Ran arrived just in time, and the two people with cold expressions looked at her at the same time. This was how the topic came up.

"You're so slow." Xu Huai said expressionlessly.

Xu Xiao put out his cigarette and stood up: "Second sister."

No. This thought crossed their minds at the same time, but they said nothing. Xu Ran smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao, but where are Grandpa and the others?"

Xu Huai then looked around. The night wind was howling and rustling, and there were only three of them in the empty yard.

The smile on Xu Ran's face grew serious and gradually faded. She said seriously, "Ah Xiao, go back and rest first. Grandpa and the others will be here soon."

Xu Huai stood up and walked outside, while Xu Ran took off his coat and put it on Xu Xiao. He grabbed Xu Xiao's cold hand and frowned, "Why is it so cold... Go back, your sister and brother are here..."

What's more, no matter who is guarding it, it shouldn't be Xu Xiao who has nothing to do with it.

She didn't say this out loud. Regarding Xu Xiao's life experience, she and Xu Huai agreed that there was no need to tell anyone.

Axiao has always been their sister, and this has nothing to do with blood relationship.

Xu Huai stopped, looked back at them, and said with a force that would not allow them to be refused: "A Xiao, I will take you back to the educated youth site."

Xu Xiao stood up, took off his coat, and shook his head firmly: "I must guard for the next few nights."

"Brother, just go and call them." Her words sounded like a broken jar being thrown to pieces.

If they really wanted to, why would they bother inviting them so many times? Besides, they themselves knew exactly who they were.

Xu Huai turned around and walked back. He moved another chair and sat down, and then the other two sat down.

He said, "Ah Xiao, I heard that you were separated. What do you think?"

At this time, he had a little more dignity as an older brother.

Xu Ran rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just divide it up, it's no big deal!"

She and Xu Huai also separated a few years ago.

Xu Xiao: “…”

When the Xu siblings quarrel, they are actually quite similar to the Chen siblings.

After the two of them finished talking, Xu Xiao finally spoke: "I'm going back to Beijing. I may not come back in the future."

Xu Ran was obviously relieved, but there was still some melancholy on his face: "It's better not to come back."

Xu Huai just nodded.

The three siblings chatted all night, mainly Xu Ran asked questions, Xu Xiao answered, and Xu Huai sat on the side listening, getting up from time to time to change the incense and candles.

They didn't talk about much, but talked more about their future plans. When they heard Xu Xiao say that he would wait for the college entrance examination to be resumed, his brother and sister felt relieved.

Before daybreak, the people who helped with the cooking arrived. They couldn't help in this situation, so they could only move out of the way and try not to block them.

Xu Xiao took the opportunity to stand up and broke away from Xu Ran's hand, saying, "Brother and sister, I need to go back to the educated youth camp."

Xu Ran sympathetically let go. Xu Huai frowned dissatisfiedly: "I heard that group of people treated you badly."

"Brother, what are you talking about!" Xu Ran gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Huai.

Xu Huai glared back: "Where did I say something wrong?"

Xu Ran: "..." Looking at the figure walking away, she whispered, "A Xiao wants to leave."

Probably because I'm not used to them.

Xu Ran felt a little disappointed, and quickly looked at his brother with disdain: "It's all your fault, you have to be so aggressive! If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"

"..." Xu Huai had become accustomed to Xu Ran's sarcasm towards him. He stood up and said, "I'll go pick up Grandpa. You go find my aunt and the others."

He knew his grandfather's temperament well. He simply felt that since he had taken care of the two elders on a daily basis, it was now the turn of the other three siblings and brothers to take care of the work.

Xu Ran nodded. She also had this plan. After all, they were her great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

Chen Nan pushed the door open and was startled to see her brother being pinned to the ground and rubbed. The good news was that they were just sparring, but the bad news was that they were really fighting.

Seeing Chen Bei being pinned to the ground by Xu Xiao again, Chen Nan took a step back, withdrew his hands that were trying to stop the fight, and squatted next to Xu Xi.

Xu Xi was the first person to discover this. After learning they could return, many educated youth signed letters to return to the city.

Most of the people who came yesterday had left, and only the five of them from Beijing had remained.

In addition to the three people present, there were Ji Hong and Zhao Ling. Because Zhao Ling's situation was special, Ji Hong specially wrote an application to the team and moved Zhao Ling to another place yesterday.

This does not rule out the possibility that Xu Xiao's words made him feel scared.

In short, now only Xu Xi and Chen Nan live in the educated youth site.

So when Xu Xi heard the noise, he took a look and hurried to knock on Chen Nan's door.

Xu Xi was still scared. He knew Chen Bei's strength, but he didn't expect that Xu Xiao could fight Chen Bei on equal terms and even suppress him!

After seeing it so many times, Xu Xi became somewhat numb. He asked Chen Nan, "What's irritating Sister Xu?"

He accepted it all very quickly.

It's just one more reason not to mess with the person you shouldn't mess with.

He's fine!

"...I don't know." Chen Nan really didn't know. She was woken up by Xu Xi while she was still asleep. She was originally angry about getting up, but when she saw the two people fighting outside, she lost her temper.

Before she could go up to stop the fight, she saw Xu Xiao had the upper hand and decisively took a step back. Confirming that Xu Xiao was dominating Chen Bei, she crouched in the corner with even more confidence.

Ask her what happened? She doesn't know either.

The sound of fighting stopped at some point, and Xu Xi looked at Chen Nan: "Then let's go up and take a look?" He was not sure, after all, at this time those two people were two killing gods.

Chen Nan stretched out his index finger and shook it: "It's not us, it's you who should go up and take a look."

"..." Xu Xi wiped his face, stood up, and squatted back down neatly: "I don't dare, you go."

"Waste." Chen Nan stood up, patted her knees, and walked back under Xu Xi's hopeful gaze. With a bang, she closed the door.

Xu Xi: "..." Chen Nandu had already left, so he didn't dare to join in the fun.

Without any hesitation, he stood up and ran to the back, without even hearing Xu Xiao calling him.

"..." Xu Xiao sat aside, lit a cigarette, looked up and half-closed his eyes: "What did you say just now?"

Chen Bei was so angry that he laughed. He snatched the burning cigarette from Xu Xiao's hand, put it in his mouth, and half-bit his rosy lips.

He took a slow puff, then saw Xu Xiao take out another cigarette. He bent down and handed it back to her. He said, "I've moved your household registration to Beijing, and Mom and Dad know about it."

Know what? Know that she was going back to Beijing, or know that she had bad intentions towards Chen Bei, and that he also had bad intentions towards Chen Bei?

Xu Xiao opened her eyes, tears welling up from the corners of her dry eyes. Meeting Chen Bei's fiery gaze, she closed her eyes again as if to escape, holding the cigarette in her hand: "Chen Bei, you bastard."

Chen Bei snorted and laughed, half hugged Xu Xiao, his voice magnetic and hoarse: "I'm a bastard, if I'm not a bastard, how can I hug Xiao?"

"...Chen Bei, you're spreading your feathers a bit too much."

Xu Xiao no longer felt anxious. She put out her cigarette and raised her chin to look up at Chen Bei: "Something's wrong with you."

Chen Bei hummed, stepped back, and walked over to Xu Xiao's side with his long legs. He sat down directly, put one hand on Xu Xiao's back, and tilted his head: "What's wrong?"

He held Xu Xiao tightly like a businessman who had regained a treasure, fearing that the treasure he had lost would be lost in an instant.

He had been guarding Xu Xiao outside, but she didn't know.

He also heard the conversation between the three Xu siblings. He also saw Xu Xiao fleeing in panic. The Xu siblings thought she was avoiding them.

No.

She never hides from anyone.

Chen Bei knew this clearly because he had seen this happen twice, and this was the third time.

In other words, this was his third life. Chen Bei didn't know what was going on.

He liked Xu Xiao, but when he expressed this idea, he was severely scolded and denied by his parents. They felt that he was not worthy of her.

So he joined the army, but before he could prove himself, Xu Xiao got married.

After getting drunk, he decided to be a good brother. But Xu Xiao did not marry a good man, and within two years, Xu Xiao committed suicide.

Chen Bei felt immense pain, and remorse plagued him all day long. On a beautiful day, he committed suicide in front of Xu Xiao's grave.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the time when he joined the army. He hurriedly asked his parents for news. When he learned that Xu Xiao had gone to the countryside, he felt selfish for the first time. He went to Xujia Village before his leave.

But Xu Xiao still fell in love with that scumbag. He had no choice but to follow her secretly. This time, he had more time to get to know her.

When he realized that something was wrong with Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao was taken away.

What had trapped him for two lifetimes was, in fact, just a trick. He had heard of hypnosis before, but he had never thought of Xu Xiao. He always thought it was just bad luck.

After finally getting better, the chance is gone again.

He never had the chance to tell the truth. No matter how he tried to dissuade her, she insisted on having her own way. Later, Xu Xiao stopped seeing him and her parents.

Later... he must have died. So he came to this life. He called Fang Hui back in advance and asked Chen Nan to go to the countryside with him.

To his surprise, Xu Xiao was not hypnotized this time.

Chen Bei felt a sense of relief that the clouds had finally cleared and the sun was shining, but also a hint of depression.

He has indeed changed a lot. How could he not change after witnessing the person he loves marrying someone else and watching her die?

Chen Bei could feel his dark thoughts about her. He thought, as long as Xu Xiao didn't leave him, he could accept anything.

He can't live without Xu Xiao.

Chen Bei's eyes were dim. He tightened his grip and pushed Xu Xiao into his arms, domineering and strong.

Xu Xiao could feel Chen Bei's two sides, like a liar wearing a mask of integrity and pretending to be an honest man.

But she doesn't care about these things. Whether Chen Bei is honest or a liar, she doesn't care.

She said, "Chen Bei, you should let me go."

"Ah Xiao, what did Fang Hui give you?"
