Chen Bei was very dissatisfied with Xu Xiao for ignoring him. He felt that it was the little brat at home who stole Xu Xiao's attention.
Just as he was almost done with his investigation, he already knew who had kidnapped his adjutant.
He thought that the little brat looked brave, but if he was scared, he would definitely be obedient.
But to his surprise, no matter how he threatened, the little brat insisted that Xu Xiao was his mother.
He was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to a child.
Fang Hui gave him a suggestion - bring the child with him to the negotiations.
Only real scares work.
As for why Fang Hui helped him, it was simple. Ever since the little brat came into the family, the two sisters had ignored them. Chen Nan even refused Fang Hui's invitation just to stay home and look after the child.
Then, the little brat is really not afraid!
If this child didn't clash with him, Chen Bei would have thought that such a good seedling should be well cultivated.
The negotiations were boring. The other party's boss never showed up. He was a very impolite person.
Until a familiar voice sounded in his ears, Chen Bei looked up in disbelief, almost forgetting to control his expression: "A Xiao? Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"
Feeling the coldness against him, he was almost heartbroken: "Why are you here?" and pointed the gun at him.
Chen Nan walked in slowly, followed by Fang Hui, who was the one Xu Chi notified to guard the periphery - they noticed someone squatting there as soon as they walked in.
Knowing he had done something wrong, Fang Hui was particularly servile, but he still had a sense of loyalty: "Why shouldn't Xiao come? He should come! Chen Bei, don't you agree?"
Chen Bei didn't understand why but still answered: "...Yes."
Xu Xiao put the gun away, put it on her waist, and walked to the chair next to her. She propped up her face and looked at Chen Bei: "Now, do you understand?"
Chen Nan had already shouted at Zhuifeng and others to retreat, while Fang Hui was calling on his own people to retreat.
Only the cub rushed towards Xu Xiao: "Mom, you're here!"
"Yeah." Xu Xiao didn't deny it, but she didn't keep him either. She pushed the boy forward.
Chen Nan picked him up skillfully and followed Fang Hui out the door.
Chen Bei looked at Xu Xiao who was sitting quietly beside him, and then looked at the empty yard - the group of people confronting him were not simple. No matter what Fang Hui said, they insisted on waiting for their boss to come.
He suddenly realized: "Is that your man?"
Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does your adjutant have to undergo a test before he can become a regular officer?"
Fang Hui popped up: "Axiao, these are all misunderstandings!" He had already learned the whole story from Chen Nan.
I have to say, it’s just such a coincidence!
"Stop talking!" Chen Nan pulled the person down from the wall. She shook her hand and jumped down after him.
Chen Bei realized why Xu Xiao was angry. He frowned and said, "This is normal procedure."
Xu Xiao knew it was normal procedure, so she suddenly asked, "Has your adjutant always been Xu Huai?"
"yes."
"Before, too?"
Chen Bei hesitated, frowning in disbelief. "Why do you ask?"
"Why Xu Huai?" Xu Xiao said without any context.
Chen Bei suddenly stood up, his face pale, like a ghost: "You, have any memories from before?"
But how is that possible?
He watched Xu Xiao go to destruction twice. The second time, he tried to test him, but Xu Xiao had no memory of the previous time.
But what happened this time?
Chen Bei didn't know what to say or do for a moment. After a long moment, he yelled, "Get out! Get away!"
The number of secretly prying eyes suddenly decreased by half.
Xu Xiao looked up: "Chasing the wind."
The other half of his gaze disappeared.
Chen Bei walked towards Xu Xiao step by step, then knelt on one leg in front of her. He looked up at the girl above: "When did you have those memories?"
Chen Bei felt like a criminal about to be judged. Every minute and every second before the verdict was torturous and grueling, yet also made him feel very relaxed.
This is the biggest secret in his heart.
Not even his parents knew, he told no one, he jealously guarded the secret - he discovered that his life was just a fiction.
He is the villain in the book, and the girl he cares about most and wants to protect with his whole life is just an insignificant figure, used to connect the reason for his hatred with the so-called male protagonist.
All of this is contrary to his cognition and runs counter to the morality he has pursued throughout his life.
After knowing Xu Xiao's fate, he started his first resistance: he became friends with the male protagonist Ji Hong, and even persuaded his father to reconcile with the Ji family.
But in the end, Xu Xiao still took the predetermined path - she died in Xujia Village, so he also followed the so-called villain path against the male protagonist.
In his second life, he approached his father early on and explained his feelings. At that time, Xu Xiao was only fifteen years old, and his father felt that he shouldn't have such feelings for Xu Xiao.
He joined the army to prove his determination. Before he returned, Xu Xiao got married.
Seeing her in pain, he went to find Xu Huai, wanting him to persuade her.
However, he was powerless to stop the Ji family from targeting him, and in the end, in order to protect Xu Huai, he had no choice but to conceal his identity.
In that life, Xu Xiao lived to be eighty years old. He helped with the funeral before leaving.
This time, he was very cautious and didn't even dare to show any emotion.
But God started to be kind to him, and Axiao actually noticed him.
…
Chen Bei smiled bitterly and told everything he knew.
At the end of his speech, the corners of his eyes turned red, and his voice was choked in his throat: "What did you remember?"
Xu Xiao was filled with surprise. She didn't know anything about that. All she knew was the second life that Chen Bei mentioned.
She did not doubt Chen Bei's words. He would not lie to her, and there was no need for him to lie to her.
The boy suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. He was helpless: "How come you all remember all that?"
"Forget it," the boy said in a mature tone, "I'll help you again."
…
When Chen Nan and others returned, they saw the two men lying together with a black cat lying at their feet.
The two were not injured and woke up soon after. When they saw them, they were surprised: "Why are you here?"
Chen Nan and Xu Xiao lost their memories.
They had forgotten part of their memories, and no one knew what had happened. It just happened to be the memories from the last six months. So, they reverted to their original relationship model – brother and sister.
The matter of the adjutant can only be put aside.
Chen Nan began to feel sad again - Xu Xiao did not plan to take the college entrance examination, she wanted to go back to her previous place.
Chen Nan couldn't go to that place, so if he wanted to see Xu Xiao, he could only wait for the Spring Festival every year.
She didn't say anything except being sad. She still had to take the college entrance examination. She had thought it through. She didn't have Chen Bei's perseverance, nor Xu Xiao's intelligence. She could only take the college entrance examination.
Before Xu Xiao left, Old Man Chen came to Jing City. He was holding jute and looked excited: "Girl, we figured it out!"
Old man Chen was filled with emotion.
Only then did Xu Xiao realize that Old Man Chen insisted so much for the sake of her mother.
After Chen Nan reminded her, she learned that her mother's name was A Xiu. A Xiu went to Xujia Village to study jute, but ended up staying in Xujia Village.
She sneered: "It seems like something the Xu family would do."
What was even more unexpected was that Father Chen and the head of the Ji family were sitting together and talking with smiles on their faces.
It turns out that Chen's father and Ji Yong had been acting all these years just to catch the person who had harmed A Xiu. A Xiu was Ji Yong's original wife.
The Chen and Ji families used to have a pretty good relationship, but apparently it was only after Ah Xiu went missing that they broke down.
Ji Yong came here for one thing, he wanted to take his biological daughter back home - Xu Xiao was his biological daughter.
As for A Xiu's ashes, he had already taken them back.
When meeting Ji's father for the first time, Xu Xiao, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, suddenly fainted. Chen Bei, who had just returned after hearing the news, entered the room and saw Ji Yong collapsed on the ground.
If they weren't close, Father Chen would have almost suspected that Ji Yong had done something.
When the two woke up, there was chaos again.
Xu Xiao asked Chen Bei to talk outside.
The two looked at each other in silence. After a long moment, Chen Bei spoke up, "I don't know what's going on this time."
Xu Xiao rolled his eyes: "I know."
During this period of time, it was as if time was accelerating, and everything was speeding up: Old Man Chen finally came back, Xu Xiao found his biological father, and even the evildoers got their comeuppance.
The incident with Ah Xiu was caused by Ji Hong's parents. They were jealous of Ji Yong, which led to the tragedy twenty years ago. As for Xu Xiao being hypnotized, they were also behind it.
They hated Ji Yong and also hated his daughter Xu Xiao.
They wanted Xu Xiao to suffer, so they asked the Xu family to marry Xu Xiao to Ji Hong.
They were also responsible for Xu Xiao's kidnapping as a child. It was precisely because of this that they were able to hypnotize her so easily by taking advantage of the poison in Xu Xiao's body.
Xu Xiao didn't know what to say: "Where's the little thing?"
Chen Bei: "...It should be the black cat at home."
The two looked at each other, neither of them believing that these changes were just because of the cat. But since they could both be reborn, what was there to be unconvinced about?
After this incident, they also learned to trust each other, which is actually not a bad thing.
The knot in Xu Xiao's heart was gone - that adjutant was Xu Huai.
Chen Bei found out why Xu Xiao married Ji Hong.
Their wedding was not grand, but the elders from both the Chen and Ji families came and gave their sincere blessings to the newlyweds.
After marriage, Xu Xiao did not stay at home. She followed her previous choice and joined the special forces.
Chen Bei returned to his own troops.
During every festival, they would run to each other.
This was their choice to adapt to the times and to each other. They spent their entire lives guarding that big family, that big family with countless people.
At eighteen, twenty, and twenty-five, Xu Xiao was no longer confined to her own little world. She was an eagle soaring in the sky, a resolute and brave warrior, and a member of the younger generation who was always full of hope for the future.
Her new life may not be grand, and may not be perfect, but this is the life she wants.
To realize one's own life value, and to have someone who loves one enough, they will not hold on to each other tightly, they will give each other freedom, and they will always care about each other.
Therefore, even if she is thirty, fifty, or eighty years old, she will not feel that her life has any regrets. She is no longer a so-called supporting role, she is a flesh-and-blood person, a person with infinite possibilities.
Xu Xiao enjoys all the busyness. She carries out her missions, and in her room, she reads letters filled with care from afar. She and her lover hand in hand, depict the years in the world, and together with her partners, she keeps the lights on in thousands of homes.
