She was more cruel than she thought.

What she did was done, and she couldn't use "I didn't know" to excuse herself.

Xia Xi pressed his forehead. The pain came slowly but was extremely intense. His speech was garbled: "I... I'm sorry..."

Knowing that she was going to say this, Xu Yanfeng kissed her and held her lips, preventing her from speaking. He had just told her not to say sorry to him in the future, but she obviously didn't listen.

Before going to Su Jinru's house, Xia Xi bought a popsicle from a roadside supermarket and applied it to his eyes. When his eyes had almost recovered, he opened it and took a bite. It was icy and cool, and it slid down his throat, but it couldn't relieve his anger.

Xu Guanshan is so cruel.

She didn't know the inside story, but her father Xu Guanshan knew everything and still chose to do so.

The popsicle in his hand melted and a drop of water fell on his leg. Xia Xi came back to his senses, took a tissue and wiped it, his expression still a little dazed.

Xu Yanfeng sighed silently, seeing her constantly distracted. Perhaps he shouldn't have told her, as she seemed to sink deeper into self-blame. If Xu Guanshan had even half her empathy, their relationship wouldn't have been so strained.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat." While waiting for the red light, Xu Yanfeng looked at her and touched her head.

Xia Xi took another bite of the popsicle, chewed it up and swallowed it, shook her head, and raised the corners of her mouth: "I really wish time could go back." She had been entangled and struggled before, but she did not regret the path she chose. But now she is not so sure.

The green light came on, and Xu Yanfeng looked away: "Don't be silly. This is already good enough."

He felt great with her and Ziheng.

Back at Su Jinru's house, Xia Xi was still feeling down, and she had a feeling this depression would last a long time, like a continuous drizzle that dampened the whole world. However, when facing her family, she would control her facial expressions and try to smile more naturally.

When Su Jinru saw the Band-Aid on Xu Yanfeng's forehead, her heart trembled and she began to think wildly. She thought that Xia Xi's meeting with his parents was not going smoothly, but it was not easy to ask directly.

"How did you get hurt?" Su Jinru asked indirectly.
