Chapter 99 Feeling
"It becomes awkward for us to talk about money." Lin Wan said pretending to be unhappy.
"But I can't let you work in vain. You've helped us two siblings so much over the years." Xu Qingsui was grateful and always felt sorry for Lin Wan. His conditions were limited before, but now that her conditions are better, he naturally doesn't want to treat her unfairly anymore.
"Do you treat me as a family member?" Lin Wan asked.
"Of course you are my family, closer than my sisters!" If Xu Di is her blood brother, then Lin Wan is her non-blood sister.
"Since we are a family, it would hurt our feelings to mention money. If you really want to thank me, don't just think about accompanying your dear husband in the future. Come to see me and Xu Di more often." After Lin Wan finished speaking, she looked at Xu Di, and they both covered their mouths and laughed.
Xu Qingsui also realized that she was being teased.
"Well, now you two are a family." Xu Qingsui snorted coldly. Although he pretended to be unhappy on the surface, he was very relieved in his heart.
She could see that her brother was very dependent on Lin Wan.
So, the matter of picking up and dropping off Xu Di to school was decided.
"Then report in on Monday. I'll have someone arrange it right away." Huo Xilin said, then stood up and went outside to make a phone call.
After having dinner next door in the evening, Xu Qingsui simply tidied up the room he used to live in.
The room was very clean, just like the one I stayed in before, except for some daily necessities.
Huo Xilin could see that she wanted to live here.
"Let's go to the supermarket." Huo Xilin leaned casually against the door frame and said to her.
"Aren't you going back?" Xu Qingsui looked at the old room, and fearing that Huo Xilin might feel wronged, he said, "The room is a little old, and it's inevitable that it will smell musty after not being occupied for a long time. Otherwise, you should go back to Bishui Hua Ting."
"Are you chasing me away?" Huo Xilin raised his eyebrows and asked in an unhappy tone.
Xu Qingsui shook his head repeatedly: "That's not what I meant. I just don't want to wrong you."
"Then will you go back with me?" Huo Xilin asked.
Xu Qingsui thought about it. Although she was reluctant to leave, she was willing to do so for Huo Xilin.
She sighed secretly, as if she had made up her mind, picked up her bag, walked up to him, and said, "Then let's go back."
Huo Xilin looked at her steadily, as if she was always well-behaved in front of him, and would eventually compromise no matter whether she was willing or not as long as he said so.
But facing such an obedient Xu Qingsui, Huo Xilin was not happy. On the contrary, he always hoped that she could stick to some of her own practices, even if it meant arguing with him, rather than compromising with him calmly.
"Are you...really willing to go back with me?" Huo Xilin asked repeatedly.
Xu Qingsui replied doubtfully: "What else? How about you go back alone? I'll stay here for a few days."
Huo Xilin hugged Xu Qingsui and said forcefully, "That won't do. You are Mrs. Huo now. How can you separate from me?"
"What should I do? I told you to go back alone but you didn't agree. I told you to go back with me but you didn't believe me." Xu Qingsui was speechless. Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, she had become more casual towards Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin smiled immediately. He felt right. At this moment, the lively Xu Qingsui was the one he liked. Even though her eyes were slightly disgusted, he still enjoyed it.
"Let's go to the supermarket and buy some things. We'll stay here for a few days." Huo Xilin took Xu Qingsui's hand and walked out the door.
"Do you really want to live here?" Xu Qingsui always felt that Huo Xilin's temperament was incompatible with the courtyard.
"You can live where I can't?" Huo Xilin pinched Xu Qingsui's nose, with a hint of pampering in his tone: "I also want to feel the place where you lived when you were a child. You are not allowed to refuse me from understanding your past, and you are not allowed to have any secrets in front of me!"
It was as if a long-closed door was opened in Xu Qingsui's heart. To her, Huo Xilin was like a ray of light shining into the darkness.
Want to know about her past?
Xu Qingsui suddenly became curious about Huo Xilin's past and asked immediately, "How did you live as a child? Did you always live in the Huo family's old house?"
Huo Xilin's smile gradually faded. He stared at her blankly for a long while before saying, "When I have a chance in the future, I will slowly tell you. One day, you will know my past."
Xu Qingsui wanted to ask something else, but Huo Xilin didn't give her a chance and just took her out.
After purchasing some daily necessities from the supermarket, Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin returned to the courtyard.
The light in Xu's brother's room was still on. Xu Qingsui washed some fruits and brought them in. He saw Lin Wan and Xu's brother sitting in front of the window, and they were painting the moon outside the window together.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it is the time of the year when the moon is at its fullest. This courtyard, once full of laughter and joy, has regained its vitality after more than ten years of silence.
Xu Qingsui began to look forward to the scene of his family being together during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but looking at the picture of her brother and Lin Wan standing close together, she always felt something was a little ambiguous.
She quickly shook her head. Lin Wan treated her brother the same way she treated him. It was family love. She must have been overthinking it.
The two turned around when they heard the voice and saw that it was Xu Qingsui. Lin Wan quickly stood up and looked a little nervous: "You are back?"
"Well, I bought some fruits and have washed them. You can have some too." Xu Qingsui said and put the fruit plate on the table. "You haven't finished painting yet?"
"Sister, I'm going to school on Monday, and I'm a little nervous. I'm always worried that my drawing skills will be disliked by the teacher. I asked Sister Lin Wan to give me some guidance." Xu Di said a little disappointedly.
Going to school made him feel complicated, both excited and nervous, which meant he was destined to suffer from insomnia tonight.
Fortunately, Sister Lin Wan was there to accompany him and comfort him, so he felt a little more relaxed.
Xu Qingsui walked forward, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I heard that Siya's teacher is very humane in teaching. You have good talent and will definitely adapt. Sister believes in you!"
With Xu Qingsui's encouragement, Xu Di also gained confidence and nodded firmly: "Yes!"
"Then you guys go to bed early. I'm going to go out first." After saying hello to Lin Wan, Xu Qingsui left the room.
When closing the door, she looked at Lin Wan who sat back next to Xu Di. Perhaps she really had misunderstood something.
Time flies, and it's Monday in a blink of an eye.
Xu Qingsui took a day off and accompanied his brother Xu to report to school.
