Chapter 91 What, you can’t bear to leave me?

Lin Zixia's fingertips moved slightly. She couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, but she felt her heart was full. She looked up at him and asked, "Then how are you going back?"

The little girl looked at him with her dark, watery eyes. Her face was soft and her tone was gentle, with a slight rise at the end of her voice, which made his heart soften.

Lu Xiangye twisted his fingers at his side. After a few seconds, he whispered, "Go back the way you came."

"Oh," Lin Zixia responded in a low voice, "Then I'll wait for you to get a taxi before going up."

Lu Xiangye chuckled softly, "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"

Lin Zixia suddenly looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. His eyes widened as he took a step back cautiously. "I wouldn't want to leave you!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Xiangye's dark eyes, and he chuckled, "Yeah, I get it, coward."

Lin Zixia: “…”

Lu Xiangye stopped a taxi and said a few words to the driver before turning back to look at her. "Aren't you cold? Get in."

Lin Zixia nodded, "Okay, then go slowly."

Lin Zixia turned and walked into the community. When she was about to turn the corner, she looked back.

Lu Xiangye leaned lazily against the car, his eyes still on her.

Lin Zixia paused, quickened his pace and walked towards the unit entrance, the roasted sweet potato in his hand still warm.

When Lin Zixia was no longer in sight, Lu Xiangye opened the car door and got in. "Master, let's go."

Lin Zixia returned home and opened the door quietly. Only Lin Zirui was watching TV in the living room.

Lin Zixia didn't say anything and wanted to go straight back to his room by skipping the living room.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard Lin Zirui’s message from the living room, “I saw it all.”

Lin Zixia paused and turned around, "What did you see?"

Lin Zirui put down the remote control in his hand and raised his head. "I saw you standing at the gate of the community with a boy, and you lied to your mother and said you were going to the bookstore."

Lin Zixia lowered his eyes and walked towards him step by step. He waved the book in his hand towards him and said, "I'm going to the bookstore now, right?"

Lin Zirui stiffened his neck and said, "Then why are you still with a boy? Are you in a premature love relationship? I want to tell Mom!"

Lin Zixia's face suddenly darkened, and her tone was very cold, "Lin Zirui, are you a three-year-old child who has to tell your mother everything?"

"Don't mind my business. I can also pretend not to see that you hid the test paper while playing games. It's best for the two of us to live in peace. If you insist on causing trouble with me, I won't tolerate you!"

"You..." Lin Zirui was shocked. Lin Zixia had never spoken to him in this way before. He always thought she was a soft-hearted person with no temper.

Lin Zixia paused and sneered, "You're already a grown-up, and you still go to your mother when you encounter problems. Do you also go to your mother when you eat or go to the bathroom? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your classmates?"

Lin Zirui was provoked by her sarcastic words, his face flushed red, and he shouted loudly, "Lin Zixia!"

Lin Zixia glanced down at him and said calmly, "Don't yell, your mother will criticize you."

Lin Zirui choked, "You..."

Lin Zixia took a deep breath. She was just going to spend the New Year at home, and she didn't want to make herself unhappy.

"Lin Zirui, you're already in the first grade of junior high school. It's not that you don't understand some things, it's that you just don't want to understand. You know how I feel in this family. I just want to spend the New Year quietly and I'll leave when school starts."

"Everything in this house is yours. I won't fight with you for it. Just treat me as a guest. We won't bother each other."

After saying that, she went straight into the room and closed the door behind her.

Lin Zirui looked at her back, opened his eyes wide, and stood there in a daze.

…

After the holiday, Lin Zixia stayed in the room all the time and basically did not go out except to go to the toilet, eat or drink water.

She didn't know whether Lin Zirui had complained to Ye Yinghua, and Ye Yinghua hadn't mentioned it either. But even if he had, she wouldn't be afraid.

However, Lin Zirui became much more obedient and no longer bothered her. Sometimes when they met, Lin Zirui would take the initiative to avoid her.

She thinks this is good.

Lu Xiangye would send her messages every day, sometimes asking her to do homework together, and sometimes just looking for trouble.

I have to tell her what I had for lunch, tell her when I go out to play, and even if I meet a cat on the street, I have to take a picture and send it to her, and complain about how ugly it is.

Lin Zixia studies in his room every day. When he is tired, he chats with Lu Xiangye, and sometimes he also chats with Cheng Zhiwei and Xu Wu.

Life wasn't that difficult.

New Year’s Eve is coming soon.

The community was decorated with lights and small lanterns were hung early, and couplets were posted in front of every household's door.

While Ye Yinghua and Lin Anhong were outside cleaning, arranging the house, and cooking, Lin Zixia locked himself in the room, wearing headphones and doing his homework.

She seemed to no longer care about them so much, and her mood would not be easily depressed by their actions.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, Lin Anhong drank some wine and talked incessantly at the table.

Lin Zixia listened absentmindedly, said a few auspicious words obediently and went into the room.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to send a message to Lu Xiangye, but thinking that he would definitely be with his family on New Year's Eve, she put it down again.

Outside, the place was bustling with activity, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers echoing in the distance. She stood at the window, watching the lights of countless homes, families gathered together, and children downstairs in the neighborhood setting off small fireworks, making a lot of noise.

Lin Zixia stood in front of the window and looked for a while, then raised his hand to close the window and draw the curtains.

The sounds of the party could be heard faintly in the living room. Lin Zixia sat at the table and didn't want to go out. She would rather stay in the room alone.

She casually picked up an extracurricular book and flipped through it, and the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Weiwei: [Happy New Year, Xia Xia! May the new year be joyful and successful (fireworks) (fireworks) (fireworks)]

[The evening party is so ugly, it’s better to read a novel]

Lin Zixia smiled and raised his hand to reply her message.

She also received blessings from some classmates one after another and replied to them one by one.

"Xiao Xia, don't stay in the house. Take a rest on New Year's Eve."

Ye Yinghua knocked on the door. Lin Zixia answered and went to the living room.

The gala was playing on the TV in the living room. Lin Anhong was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Lin Zirui wanted to go back to his room to play games but was forced to stay here. He could only eat melon seeds intermittently, looking uninterested.

Lin Zixia sat on a single sofa beside him, holding his mobile phone, his eyes fixed on the TV, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

Lin Zirui always glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and she pretended not to see it.

"Mom and Dad, I want to go downstairs to set off firecrackers."

Ye Yinghua looked at him and said, "Be careful and go with your sister."

Lin Zixia moved his lips, wanting to say no, but going downstairs was better than sitting in the living room.

"good."

Lin Zirui didn't expect her to agree, but he didn't say anything. The two of them went out one after the other.
