Xia Xi rushed upstairs in slippers and tripped while going up the stairs. Fortunately, she grabbed the handrail in time to avoid falling.

Su Jinru was sitting facing the stairs. Seeing Xia Xi stumbling up the stairs, she frowned and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's just a gathering with friends. Why are you so anxious?"

Xia Yue picked up a piece of fish for her mother and said, "Let's eat our own food and ignore her. Xixi is at the age where she likes making friends, so this is normal. Maybe she will bring you a son-in-law soon."

Su Jinru turned her head and looked at her with suspicion: "Do you know something?"

Xia Yue almost let the cat out of the bag, but quickly tried to smooth it over: "I just said that casually. Our Xixi is pretty, so there's no shortage of suitors. She's also a strong-willed person, so we don't need to worry about her. Just eat your food."

"No matter how opinionated she is, she hasn't graduated yet and is still a student who has not experienced much of the world. You sisters have something to talk about, but if there is anything, you are not allowed to hide it from me." Su Jinru reminded again and again.

Xia Yue agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

In the upstairs room, Xia Xi paced around like a headless fly, running her fingers through her hair. She was so anxious she didn't know where to start. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down a bit, and began to change her clothes. She packed a few things into her bag, grabbed her ID, and rushed out the door. She hadn't run a few steps when she turned back and took her hat and scarf off the hanger.

When she reappeared downstairs, she was dressed differently: a bright raspberry pink mohair sweater paired with a white cashmere skirt, looking sweet and charming. Her long hair flowed down her back, and she had a long white down jacket tucked under her arm, her new bucket bag dangling from her arm.

"I'm leaving! Bye!"

Xia Xi waved his hand and quickly ran to the entrance. He didn't have the patience to sit down, so he jumped on one leg and put on his boots.

She drove the family car and headed to the high-speed rail station.

At this time, most people were at home, the roads were not crowded, and the journey was smooth, but her heartbeat continued to be unbalanced, beating rapidly and disorderly, as if a hand was tightly grasping her heart, and the blood flow was also accelerating.

Thousands of lights were shining brightly, and she was running far away alone. It seemed crazy to think about it.

Are you crazy, Xia Xi? she asked herself.

But the next second, a voice in her head told her: What's wrong with being a little crazy? At the age of twenty, the road ahead is bright, and she has a safe haven like home behind her. She has nothing to fear.

She has no regrets in pursuing the person she loves.

After arriving at the high-speed rail station, Xia Xi locked the car and entered the platform at the ticket checking time. The moment he got into the car, he felt like he had run a marathon. His body was extremely tired, but his spirit was extremely excited.

There were few passengers in the carriage, and Xia Xi was the only one occupying the three connected seats on one side.

She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and slowed her racing heartbeat. Once she felt more composed, she dug out her makeup from her bag and laid it out on the table. She'd applied her makeup after breakfast that morning, and it was a little faded. She touched it up with a delicate cinnamon nude apricot lip gloss, making her already plump lips even more hydrated and lustrous.

Xia Xi put away his things, took out his cell phone, found the charging socket under the seat, and charged his phone which was running low on power.

It takes more than two hours to drive from Ganlin to Nancheng.

When they were about to arrive at the station, Xia Xi sent a message to Xu Yanfeng, asking him what he was doing.

The last time they chatted was on the day he said he had dialed the wrong number. She flipped through a few records and sensed a hint of a bad ending. She was not sure whether he would reply to her message.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Yanfeng actually came back.

Someone who says one thing and means another: "Meeting with friends."

Xia Xi's pupils lit up, and she secretly said, "God help me!" It would be nice to get together with friends. If he stayed at home with the elders, she would not know how to see him.

Xia Xi started chatting with him, trying to get him to talk a little bit: "Don't you need to spend New Year's Eve with your family?"

The person who says one thing and means another: "We've already had the New Year's Eve dinner."

Xia Xi understood. He had dinner with his family and then went out to have a small gathering with friends. She paused and continued to inquire about the news: "Who are these friends? Do I know them?"

Xu Yanfeng immediately became suspicious: "Why are you asking this?"

Xia Xi evaded the question: "Just asking."

She was worried that the witty Xu Yanfeng would see through her, so she stopped trying to find another channel: "Is Fu Li among the party?"

Xu Yanfeng didn't reply to her.

Wei Ai XYF: "Where are the people?"

A person who says one thing and means another: "Are you concerned about Fu Li?"

Wei Ai XYF: “Not really.”

Xia Xi's idea was very simple. If Fu Li was with him, she would go to Fu Li and ask where their meeting was. Then she would go straight there and give Xu Yanfeng a surprise.

A surprise is something that is unexpected and beyond one's control. If Xu Yanfeng guessed her intentions in advance, wouldn't the surprise she prepared be greatly reduced?

Before Xu Yanfeng could reply, an announcement was made inside the carriage. A clear female voice said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next stop for this train is Nancheng East Station. Please prepare to get off in advance..."

Xia Xi unplugged the charger, put it into her messenger bag, put on her down jacket, and got off the bus with other passengers.

Since going to college, Xia Xi has traveled between Ganlin and Nancheng several times. She left the station with ease and waited for a taxi on the roadside. During this time, she glanced at her phone several times. Xu Yanfeng did not reply to her, probably because he thought she was confused.

It didn't matter if he didn't reply, so Xia Xi went straight to Fu Li's WeChat and asked him, "Are you and Xu Yanfeng together?"

Fu Li quickly replied: "You installed a surveillance camera on me? How did you know?"
