After Qi Xu was called away by his family, He Xiaomi became uneasy. When his mother asked him what was wrong, he refused to tell her. His mother had no choice but to let him go and let the children handle their own affairs!
The next day, He Xiaomi waited for Qi Yu to come with a nervous heart, because he had said so! Qi Yu had never broken his promise since he decided to marry He Xiaomi, so He Xiaomi believed him this time.
He Xiaomi waited from dawn till dusk but still didn't see anyone. This was the process of going from full of expectation to disappointment!
He Xiaomi closed the shop and went into his room. He Xiaomi hadn't eaten much all day. He's mother was so worried that she went to knock on his door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.
"Xiaomi, good girl, come out and have a bite!" He's mother said while knocking.
He's mother waited at the door for a while, sighed, put the food at the door, and left.
He Xiaomi listened to the footsteps outside slowly going away before she dared to burst into tears. It's not that she didn't have feelings for Qi Yu. How could she not be moved when a handsome, stupid and rich man fell in love with her and treated her and her family so well?
He Xiaomi just wanted to wait, he was afraid! He was afraid that Qi Yu was just impulsive, he wanted to wait until Qi Yu had thought it through and made a decision before confessing his feelings!
"What do you think happened to Qi Yu?" Mother He was worried when she thought of what happened yesterday. She felt bad seeing her son in this state.
It's rare to see Xiaomi interested in a man, and He's mother also hopes that they can really be together. Regardless of Qi Yu's family background, He's mother likes him as a person!
"I don't know... Well, I guess his family doesn't agree!" He's father guessed. Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason.
"That's right. Our family's conditions..." He's mother couldn't continue. The family's conditions were considered poor in the village, let alone in this town.
It was all thanks to He Xiaomi's own ability to open a shop, but after only about four months of operation, he was able to make only a small profit and recoup some of his investment.
Unlike Qi Yu's wealthy family, he could pick any girl or guy in town, but he just had his eyes on his own girl Xiaomi! Sigh!
Qi Yu didn't come here for several days, and He Xiaomi couldn't muster up the energy. All the affairs in the shop were taken care of by He's mother, who was quite good at selling things.
He Xiaomi was so busy carving wood in the house that she forgot to eat. She would only take a few bites when her mother brought it to her.
He's mother was worried that he would get exhausted if he continued like this, so she came to find Jiang Cheng to see if he could give some advice or help persuade He Xiaomi.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was shocked. Weren't the two of them fine before? After listening to He's mother's story, Jiang Cheng felt something was wrong.
He knew Qi Yu. Since he had been pursuing He Xiaomi for such a long time, it was impossible for him to give up suddenly. Otherwise, what would he be trying to achieve?
"What do you think we should do? Xiaomi seems to have lost her soul at home!" Mother He became more and more anxious as she spoke.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll ask Tingzhi to check out the situation. It's okay!" Jiang Cheng comforted her, then went out and asked Song Tingzhi to check on Qi Yu immediately.
"Thank you!" He's mother thanked him. Even if she wanted to know more, she couldn't go to his house to ask him. What kind of status did he have?
"Don't worry, auntie. I don't think Qi Yu is that kind of person. I know him and he wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding!" Jiang Cheng didn't know what else to say to reassure He's mother, so he could only repeat these words over and over again.
Seeing that He's mother had calmed down a bit, Jiang Cheng planned to let her eat something here before going back. However, He's mother directly refused. He Xiaomi and her father were still waiting for her at home. The two of them were so busy that they would not remember to eat. So Jiang Cheng had to go back and cook for them.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng didn't stay any longer and decided to wait for Song Tingzhi to come back and tell her the news.

When He Xiaomi was frantically working on wood carving in the house, someone suddenly knocked on the door. He Xiaomi thought it was his mother coming to bring him food again, so he didn't respond and continued to do his own thing.
He Xiaomi didn't respond to the knocking on the door outside, and the knocking never stopped. He Xiaomi was really annoyed and went to open the door. As a result, she saw an unexpected person as soon as she opened it.
"Xiaomi, I'm here!" Qi Yu stood at He Xiaomi's door, smiling foolishly, with a crutch in one hand.
He Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and then slammed the door shut. He Xiaomi pressed her back against the door and bit her arm to prevent herself from crying out loud.
"Xiaomi, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to break the appointment. I just encountered a little unexpected situation!" Qi Yu was frustrated and hurriedly explained for fear that He Xiaomi would misunderstand.
He Xiaomi listened to Qi Yu's voice but did not say anything. He slowly squatted down and leaned against the door. While crying, he accidentally laughed out loud. He Xiaomi was afraid that Qi Yu would hear it, so she quickly covered her mouth.
"Xiaomi, are you laughing? Xiaomi, I..." Qi Yu put his ear close to the door. He really heard He Xiaomi laughing and knocking on the door continuously.
He Xiaomi calmed down and opened the door while Qi Yu wasn't paying attention. Qi Yu already had a lame leg and was using a crutch. If he hadn't held onto the door frame, he would have almost fallen!
"Hehe!" Qi Yu kept grinning foolishly after he stood firm.
"Where have you been these days?" He Xiaomi couldn't bear to look at his silly look, so she glanced at his legs and asked.
Qi Yu scratched his head feeling a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was too excited that day and fell flat on his face when he went out. He broke his leg and almost scared old man Qi to death. He forced him to lie in bed for several days before letting him go out.
Old Master Qi told him that he had asked someone to tell He Xiaomi and asked Qi Yu to lie down and rest assured. Qi Yu felt relieved when he heard that.
He stayed at home for a few days before going out to look for He Xiaomi. As soon as he arrived at the door, He's father's apprentice told him that He Xiaomi thought he would never come again and had been sad for several days.
When Qi Yu heard this, he became anxious and knocked on He Xiaomi's door while waving his crutch.
"Really?" He Xiaomi glanced at his legs and still didn't quite believe it.
"Really? If I lie to you, I will die miserably. I..." Qi Yu's mouth was covered by He Xiaomi before he could finish his words.
"Okay, I believe you!" When He Xiaomi first saw his legs, he knew that something might have delayed him, but he still wanted to ask to see if Qi Yu was lying to him.
"That's good!" Qi Yu felt relieved.
"Okay, sit down! It's not uncomfortable for you to stand on one leg!" He Xiaomi saw that he was struggling and asked him to sit over there.
Seeing that He Xiaomi didn't seem to be angry anymore, Qi Yu sat there and smiled foolishly. In short, just smile and that's enough!
Seeing him like this, He Xiaomi couldn't get angry anymore!
