Feudal?
After Xu Nian finished speaking, he stood up and left without a pause, obviously angry.
Xu Fengkai looked at Xu Hongqi, then at his sister's back as she walked away. He sighed and stood up. "Hongqi, you eat first. I'll go see Nian Nian." After that, he packed up his lunch box and was about to leave.
As a result, just as he covered the lunch lid and before he could take a step, the person next to him who had been silent strode out, leaving Xu Fengkai standing there with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at the full meal and sat down again. He smiled as if he had figured something out, opened his lunch box and started eating alone.
Xu Nian was full of confusion and grievance. She thought about her brother saying that Xu Hongqi didn't eat breakfast, but she herself didn't eat either.
He also felt that he had behaved poorly at that time. Why did he have to stand up and leave? If anyone had to leave, it should be him. He felt so regretful that he wished he could turn back time and start over again.
When Xu Nian walked down the stairs, her view opened up. The world was vast and boundless. The sound of her shoes crunching on the snow mixed with the rumbling sound of her stomach, vividly showing the image of the poor little thing.
I can no longer imagine romance at this moment. All I can think of is the sad music and my imagination is too rich.

Miss my parents
…………
She was immersed in sorrow and couldn't extricate herself. She walked in twists and turns. When she reached the center of the school, the road was full of hardened footprints. If she wasn't careful, she would slip. After all, there were no special anti-slip soles available now.
She was very careful with herself and didn't dare to walk any faster. She was too hungry and even put her worries aside. She had already started thinking about going back to eat something to fill her stomach. However, during this short moment of inattention, she was hit by people playing and sliding in the snow.
The classmate who was rowing towards her had quickly reached the other side. Xu Nian tried hard to keep her balance but was still a little unsteady. Just when she thought she was going to have a close hug with the earth, someone grabbed her shoulders on both sides of her body from behind to steady her.
She patted her chest in uncertainty, turned around and was about to thank the person behind her, but it turned out to be Xu Hongqi. Her voice suddenly got stuck in her throat, her lips moved a few times and then pursed, and she pouted unconsciously.
The person behind her still had a bad expression. After seeing her stand firm, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Xu Nian frowned. She hated that he didn't speak clearly. Other villains died because they talked too much, but he was silent all the time. She didn't know why he kept talking and why he came after her.
She had calmed down a little, but seeing him like this, she became angry again. She followed him for a few steps and was determined to get to the bottom of it today.
But before she could catch up, she saw Xu Hongqi pulling a boy, and the boy almost fell. Xu Nian walked over in small steps and just heard him say, "You bumped into someone and didn't even apologize?"
"Why don't I bump into you too." If this sentence had any substance, it wouldn't sound like a question at all.
What didn't Xu Nian know? He must have been the one who hit her just now. She also felt that this person's quality needed to be improved. The ground was so hard in winter, and being hit hard was no joke.
The man was about to act arrogantly, but seeing that Xu Hongqi looked strangely familiar, he did not move for a moment. It was not until the classmate next to him reminded him that he suddenly realized that this man was the representative who spoke at the weekly flag-raising ceremony and was the principal's favorite.
He was in the same class as Xu Hongqi and knew that he was aloof and not easy to mess with. Besides, he was not a bad person. He just had an ordinary mentality. He thought that the girl was not knocked down and it was nothing serious. He just wanted to evade responsibility.
He saw the girl standing behind Xu Hongqi. Although she was wearing thick clothes, her face was cold and pale, and she looked thin. He felt a little sorry and suddenly apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, classmate. I almost knocked you over just now. I'm sorry."
Xu Nian stood there for a while, snowflakes fell on her long eyelashes, and she couldn't help blinking. The moment Xu Hongqi helped her out, his image suddenly became majestic. She felt that it could temporarily suppress his fickle character.
In the snow and against the backdrop of his classmates, Xu Nian looked at Xu Hongqi carefully and realized that he seemed to have grown a lot taller. The boy who was working hard under the scorching sun when they first met was only about 1.7 meters tall. In the past six months, he had unknowingly grown taller than his peers and seemed to be stronger. He no longer looked like a small poplar, but had become a big poplar.
Xu Hongqi knew that Xu Nian was behind him. Seeing that she didn't say anything after hearing the apology, he thought she was dissatisfied. He lowered his eyelids slightly and his expression suddenly changed. He clenched his right fist as if he was ready to fight.
The boy took a step back, thought about his classmates who were around him, and took a few steps forward, staring at the other's hand, ready to defend at any time.
Xu Nian's gaze returned to the male classmate. He saw that he was looking at Xu Hongqi with confusion. Was he apologizing to her because of oppression?
It didn't look like it. I followed his gaze and looked around, only to notice that Xu Hongqi's hands were clenched tightly. Oh no, this seems like a fight is about to start.
What she was thinking about only lasted for a few seconds, and at this moment Xu Hongqi moved. In a flash, Xu Nian covered Xu Hongqi's big hand with her small hand without thinking, and said to the other party: "Classmate, please be careful next time. I accept your apology." After that, she hurriedly pulled Xu Hongqi to a place with fewer people.
Along the way, Xu Hongqi was being pulled behind him and was very quiet. He no longer said those harsh words and became much more docile.
It's strange, she must be stupid, she actually thinks Xu Hongqi is docile, if he is docile, is there such a person in the world!
Because it was snowing and the weather was cold and wet, Xu Nian walked quickly and was still panting when she stopped. She was really weak.
It was also by chance that she came to the expansion area behind the school. Because the renovation had not yet started, there was basically nothing here and few people came. There were only a few old trees near the inner wall, and the branches were now bare.
Xu Nian took a deep breath, put his hands on his hips and paused, "What on earth do you want to do? How did I offend you? Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me? If you don't like something about me, just say it. Don't be sarcastic to me. I don't like this kind of guessing, and I hate your behavior. You're really bothering me. If you don't like me, I'll just stay away from you..."
The last sentence is of course a lie, it is impossible to stay away from that, but when it comes to harsh words, of course they are meant to hurt people's hearts.
She was not a fool, so she could naturally feel that Xu Hongqi still cared about her. To be honest, he was still her best friend in the Xu family. However, Xu Nian really couldn't stand his temper, so she had to teach him a lesson. It was not good for a grown boy to be so hesitant when talking about something.
Xu Nian's mouth was filled with wind as he spoke, and his tongue and mouth felt dry. However, the other party remained silent like a mute.
To put it bluntly, this is just like beating someone with eight sticks and not getting a fart out. Xu Nian bit his lower lip, stretched out his red, frozen finger and tapped Xu Hongqi's chest, "Mute, speak."
Xu Hongqi finally woke up, but his voice was hoarse. "What did you say?"
Hearing what was said, Xu Nian took a breath, "Of course, I'm talking about why you're upset. If you have any opinions, just raise them."
Actually, Xu Hongqi didn't understand why. Especially when he calmed down, he felt that he was being irrational. This was very unlike him. He saw Xu Nian was determined to get to the bottom of everything. He was very good at making a feint but was honest for once. "I don't know why either."
"Ah?" Xu Nian didn't quite understand, but seeing that Xu Hongqi was indeed confused, she believed that he was not just trying to fool her.
"Then when did you start to feel unhappy?"
The question asked by Xu Nian was very interesting. Xu Hongqi was indeed not angry, but unhappy. He recalled the emotional fluctuations at that moment, which seemed to have started when Xu Nian chased and played with the male classmates without any restraint. At that moment, he just wanted to call her and ask her to come to him. As for why he had to do this, he couldn't explain it clearly, but he had a vague idea in his heart.
Seeing that Xu Nian was looking at him seriously, waiting for an answer, his eyes flickered and moved away from her face, but his words were more straightforward than his expression, "It started when I saw you playing and fighting with the male classmates."
"How can you be an old feudalist at such a young age?" Xu Nian said this subconsciously, and quickly covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.
Xu Hongqi didn't look like he was joking. "You asked, so I said it. Am I feudal? I don't know how you understand feudalism, but the environment around me and I'm in tell me that there should be distance between men and women, otherwise people will gossip, and in serious cases, your reputation will be affected, and others will speculate about you." He paused before continuing, "I don't like people speculating about you. And... didn't you tell me that we would get married in the future?"
Xu Nian was a little shocked. She didn't understand why she had just played a snowball fight with her classmates today, but it brought up the issue of gender separation and chastity. What had she done? She was only thirteen years old and still a minor.
"Xu Hongqi, Country Z was liberated a long time ago and is now a new society. Who would have such thoughts? Besides, this is a school. Isn't it normal for classmates to play around with each other?"
Xu Hongqi was silent after seeing Xu Nian's statement, "Maybe!"
Xu Nian frowned even tighter, "It's not maybe, it's definitely true."
Thinking that such a smart man like him still had such thoughts, Xu Nian had an indescribable feeling. After she figured it out, she didn't want to stay with him for the time being. "You go back to eat, I'm going back too."
"You haven't eaten either. Come with me to the cafeteria and I'll make you a portion."
Xu Nian didn't want to follow, so he shook his head.
Xu Hongqi felt uneasy at her behavior, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't move, just staring at Xu Nian, "Are you angry?"
Xu Nian didn't know what to say, so he just shook his head.
The more she acted like this, the further Xu Hongqi felt from them. He hid his true thoughts and said, "Niannian, you're right. I'm too narrow-minded. You know my previous living environment." He paused, wanting to say more. "I thought that was normal, but my life isn't normal to begin with, so naturally, the thoughts I just had aren't normal either."
When he said this, Xu Nian naturally recalled his past hardships. It seemed that there was no one to guide him, otherwise he would not have become a villain who harmed society.
In the end, Xu Nian did not go with him. When she left, she knew that Xu Hongqi was looking at her back for a long time, but she felt uncomfortable. She also couldn't understand why she should care about these things here when she could compromise herself for life in modern times.
