Chapter 15 smells like Xiaxia, it's so delicious!
"You're the one who doesn't want to change it. Don't think I don't know, it was a gift from Mom!"
After finishing speaking, An Zhiyu put on the watch that An Shixia had given him and proudly twirled it in front of An Shaoyuan: "It's new!"
Seeing his smug look, An Shaoyuan reached out and tugged at Xiao Yin: "Yin Yin, I want a new one too."
Xiao Yin: "Didn't you say we should save money?"
"Hey, look at our family, we're so big and successful, we don't need this watch, do we? At worst, I'll just work overtime and earn more."
As An Shaoyuan spoke, he looked at Xiao Yin.
An Shixia and An Zhiyu watched the show from the sidelines without saying a word.
Xiao Yin gave in after being stared at by An Shaoyuan: "Alright, alright, I'll give you a new one next time."
Hearing Xiao Yin's reply, An Shaoyuan was satisfied. Seeing that it was almost noon, he immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a whole table of dishes that An Shixia liked.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yin kept putting food on An Shixia's plate, saying, "Xiaxia, eat more. You've lost weight again."
Seeing that her bowls were already piled up like a small mountain, An Shixia finally stopped Xiao Yin: "Mom, this is enough, you eat too."
As she spoke, she used serving chopsticks to put some food on Xiao Yin's plate as well.
Two other pairs of eyes drifted over almost imperceptibly, and An Shixia, feeling helpless, put another serving on each of their plates.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yin urged An Shaoyuan and An Zhiyu to return to the company, while she took An Shixia to the mall.
"Mom, I have so many clothes. Buying so many is a waste because I won't be able to wear them all."
"How could we not be able to wear them all? Besides, money is meant to be spent. As long as we're happy, that's all that matters. Sigh, you've really suffered these past few years, you haven't been willing to spend any money."
Xiaxia, don't skimp on anything. Buy what you like; we have plenty of money.
Xiao Yin felt a pang of heartache; her beloved daughter, whom she had cherished so much, was now reluctant to even buy her clothes.
Not wanting her to be sad because of her, An Shixia immediately nodded: "I understand, Mom. I won't wrong myself."
Xiao Yin wanted to give An Shixia all the good things, but after shopping for half a day, she didn't buy anything for herself.
As darkness fell, Xiao Yin reluctantly headed home.
"Mom, I have class tomorrow, I'll go back to the apartment later."
Xiao Yin was a little reluctant: "How come time flies so fast? I didn't even spend much time with you."
An Shixia took Xiao Yin's hand and said, "Mom, I'll come back whenever I have time. I'm going to participate in a piano competition next weekend. You can come and watch if you have time."
"Next week? Is it at the Shiguang Concert Hall?"
Xiao Yin asked.
Shiguang Concert Hall is the largest concert hall in the city, and ordinary competitions cannot get invitations to attend.
The competitions held here are all of high quality.
An Shixia did not pursue an arts major in college, but she had been exposed to the piano since childhood and had a great talent for it, winning first prize in many competitions.
Yes, that's where it is.
"I haven't heard you play the piano in so long. I definitely can't miss your competition. I'll definitely go next week."
The butler walked over and, seeing the two talking, said, "Madam, Miss, Young Master Yan has arrived."
Yan Lingyu? What's he doing here?
As An Shixia was thinking, Xiao Yin had already asked the housekeeper to invite him in.
Yan Lingyu respectfully greeted her as "Aunt Xiao".
Xiao Yin smiled and asked him to sit down: "Ling Yu, what brings you here? I haven't seen you in a long time either. Last time I heard from your mother that you wanted to go abroad?"
Go abroad?
An Shixia looked at him suddenly. It turned out that he really intended to leave. If she was still trapped by the plot, he really would leave.
Yan Lingyu smiled and said, "I did plan to go before, but things are different now. I'm not going."
He was looking at An Shixia as he said this, as if afraid that others wouldn't know that he stayed for An Shixia's sake.
Xiao Yin looked at the two children and a maternal smile appeared on her face.
She had watched Yan Lingyu grow up. Xia Xia had always been attached to Yan Lingyu since she was little. She originally thought they would be together forever, but Xia Xia fell in love with someone else.
During that time, Yan Lingyu changed completely, and she felt a pang of heartache seeing him like that.
But Xiaxia was like she was under a spell, insisting on pursuing He Huaisheng, and her parents couldn't stop her.
She felt sorry for Yan Lingyu, but she was even more worried about An Shixia.
"It's better not to go. There's nothing good about going abroad anyway. It's okay to go for fun once in a while. Xiaxia, you talk to Lingyu for a bit. I'll go to the kitchen and see if we have any fruit."
Xiao Yin always regarded Yan Lingyu as her future son-in-law and would give them opportunities to be alone together.
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
What brings you here?
An Shixia asked.
Yan Lingyu shifted his position and sat next to An Shixia: "Aren't you going back to your apartment later? I'll come pick you up."
Yan Lingyu spoke with a questioning tone, but in fact, he had already thought about coming over. He hadn't seen An Shixia all day, and he felt empty inside.
If he hadn't known that An Shixia hadn't been home for a long time, he would have come to pick her up at noon.
"I have a driver at home who will take me there. Aren't you tired of running around like this?"
"I'm not tired. I stayed home all day too. We're going the same way anyway, so there's no need to bother your driver."
Xiao Yin listened to their conversation, smiled, and went into the kitchen, bringing out two plates of fruit.
A plate of strawberries and a plate of peeled lychees were placed in front of the two of them.
After finishing the fruit, the two left the house.
Xiao Yin had bought so many things for An Shixia that they filled the entire trunk of the car. When they returned to the apartment, Yan Lingyu personally helped her carry them inside.
An Shixia lay down on the sofa as soon as she entered the door, watching Yan Lingyu busy himself with chores.
After Yan Lingyu finished carrying the last load, his gaze settled on An Shixia.
For convenience, An Shixia didn't wear a skirt today; instead, she wore a blue short-sleeved top, which made her skin look even whiter.
As she lay on the sofa, the hem of her clothes rode up, revealing the soft and smooth lines of her waist.
Yan Lingyu stared at him greedily, his possessiveness almost overflowing from his eyes.
Her waist is so thin, it always feels like it would break if you just grabbed it lightly.
His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. His Xiaxia was truly beautiful.
An Shixia felt his gaze and looked up at him. The moment An Shixia looked up, he composed himself and became the familiar Yu-gege that An Shixia knew.
What are you looking at?
An Shixia asked a question.
"The sofa seems a bit crooked, would you like me to move it for you?"
An Shixia stood up from the sofa, looked at it, and it seemed a little crooked.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Yu. I'll go to the restroom first."
Watching An Shixia walk away, Yan Lingyu pushed the sofa. He suddenly noticed a piece of white fabric in the corner of the sofa. He stared at it for a long time and realized it was An Shixia's shirt.
He reached out and took it out; a faint fragrance wafted out, exactly the same as An Shixia's usual scent.
It smells like summer, so delicious.
He dared not openly reveal his possessiveness to An Shixia, only daring to do so secretly, like a rat in a ditch, something he himself despised.
He didn't know how he had become like this. Perhaps it was because he saw Xia Xia chasing after He Huaisheng and ignoring him countless times.
Perhaps it was because they were in the same school for three years, but they never spoke a word to each other again...
He gripped his shirt tightly, his thoughts drifting far, far away.
"Brother Yu, are you done?"
An Shixia's sudden voice startled Yan Lingyu.
