Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
"So, maybe she is really waiting to see the show."
Xia Yunxi really didn't know what to say at this point. From the very beginning, she had seen that the girl was not simple. Shen Xiaoxing was not good at it either, but her aggressive behavior was all shown on the surface.
But Xi Huan was different. Just like when Xia Yunxi was in the snowy mountains, she felt that this girl was like a poisonous snake, hiding in the dark, and could be caught and bitten at any time.
Xia Yunxi lowered her head and laughed softly. She didn't expect reality to come so quickly.
This time, the bite really hit her.
"Aren't you angry?" Shen Xiaoxing, who had been calm at the beginning, finally showed some other emotions on his face and asked her doubtfully.
"Angry," Xia Yunxi replied, but... she turned to look at the girl beside her: "I'm still curious, why did you become... like this?"
It felt inappropriate to say this.
Xia Yunxi then added: "You weren't like this before!"
Shen Xiaoxing laughed. "People are inherently pure and good from birth. How can there be any distinction between good and bad? It's just that things have changed over time. It's nothing more than different living environments and upbringings. That's why our current personalities have been shaped!"
"You're quite open-minded." Xia Yunxi admired her from the bottom of her heart. These words, coming from this girl's mouth, seemed a little unbelievable.
Because not everyone can easily understand some life principles.
Shen Xiaoxing turned and glanced at her: "This is my growing up experience."
After she finished speaking, she supported herself on the table with both hands and stood up while saying to Xia Yunxi, "Be careful, Xi Huan, that's a poisonous snake."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
A smile appeared on Xia Yunxi's face. It was only at this moment that she really began to like this girl.
In fact, think about it, wasn't it a form of self-protection when she covered herself with sharp thorns?
Thinking back to what Shen Xiaoxing said, although it was just a few words, it was not difficult to guess that her situation was actually similar to mine!
"Miss Xia, why did that woman come to see you? You must ignore her. She has a bad temper. Be careful not to lead the two young masters astray." Aunt Lin took the opportunity to come to Xia Yunxi and reminded her.
Xia Yunxi couldn't help but raise her head and defended the girl, "Aunt Lin, people change."
"Change? What change?" Aunt Lin didn't understand what she meant.
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth and couldn't help but smile with relief. She realized that this was probably the so-called generation gap.
The fate of some people is so strange that no matter what you say, the other person understands it, while some people, probably like Aunt Lin, are not on the same channel.
"Nothing, just a sudden thought." Xia Yunxi changed the subject lightly.
Then he looked for Li Hanting, worried that he would be drunk, but he didn't expect that after drinking for such a long time, he almost didn't come out, but there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.
Xia Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, then she asked Aunt Lin to look after the two children. She stood up and walked towards Li Hanting.
Aunt Lin saw the direction he was heading and smiled knowingly, secretly suggesting that the two of them should spend more time together so that they could develop feelings for each other.
Look at Mr. and Miss Xia, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are different.
It seems that this time when I go back, I will be able to tell my wife the good news.
——
The first meal of the New Year was very lively.
Li Hanting drank very heavily. At first, it didn't seem like he had drunk much, but when Xia Yunxi pulled him away, his steps became a little unsteady.
He was not completely drunk and still retained a bit of rationality.
When he saw it was Xia Yunxi, he wanted to kiss her, in front of so many people.
Xia Yunxi felt very embarrassed, so she tried her best to persuade the man with kind words, and finally succeeded in persuading him to go upstairs and back to his room.
After all this ordeal, Xia Yunxi was sweating all over.
The man who was still able to speak when he came upstairs was now unconscious lying next to the bed.
Xia Yunxi sighed helplessly and resigned herself to taking off his coat and shoes.
Only after the quilt was finally covered did Xia Yunxi breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the unconscious man lying there, Xia Yunxi somehow bent down and moved closer.
Looking at his face up close, it's amazing that a man can have skin so good it makes people jealous.
Only his long, dense eyelashes, due to his tightly closed eyes, obscured his deep, brooding pupils. He looked incredibly peaceful in his sleep, not at all like his usual aggressive self, which gave people a subconscious sense of pressure that rose from deep within.
Xia Yunxi curiously stretched out a finger and gently touched his eyelashes. This was the first time she was so bold and so close to him. Then, she ignored the bully he usually gave her and approached him so naturally to look at him.
Xia Yunxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, finding it amusing and funny. When did she develop such a childish side?
Approaching him, looking at his handsome face with clear contours, his eyebrows that flowed into his bangs, his high nose bridge, and his sexy thin lips...
I don't know who said it, but there is a saying that men with thin lips are heartless and will let down the women who love them deeply.
But after Li Hanting said that, Xia Yunxi didn't know when a slight change occurred in her heart. She felt that even if she was let down, it was worth it because she had once had such a man who had been touched by her.
Thinking of this, Xia Yunxi burst out laughing, perhaps the noise disturbed the sleeping man.
He suddenly raised one hand, put his arm around her shoulders, frowned, and said, "Stop messing around."
The eyes never opened.
Xia Yunxi was a little surprised. She leaned close to his ear and asked, "Who am I? You told me to stop making trouble!"
Li Hanting held her tightly with his arms, not loosening his grip at all, and he never opened his eyes: "Yun Xi, can you let me sleep for a while? I feel so uncomfortable!"
Speak clearly and articulate well.
Xia Yunxi suddenly became unsure whether he was drunk or not.
Even though he was drunk, she still had a place in his heart. In his memory when he was sober, she was always by his side, so at this moment, naturally, the name that came out of his mouth was hers!
Xia Yunxi didn't let herself get stuck in a dead end. She felt that this was enough. Being able to make such a man still have room for her in his heart was already the biggest progress.
Xia Yunxi has always been hesitant about their relationship, but at this moment, she feels very relieved.
