Chapter 235 She wants to find him and ask for clarification
Lu Jingzhen introduced everyone to Xia Qingxi one by one and gave out the gifts he had prepared. Xia Qingxi behaved very generously and decently, without any restraint or pettiness.
The elders looked at the young couple and were very pleased. Although Lu Jingzhen and Xia Qingxi had been married for several years, it was the first time for them to meet the elders. The eldest and second uncles were polite and gave red envelopes.
Xia Qingxi wanted to refuse it at first, after all, it was not the New Year or the festival, but Lu Jingzhen did not hesitate and walked over to help him take it, and then naturally put it in her hand.
The brothers and sisters of the Su family were also very enthusiastic towards Xia Qingxi, calling her "fourth brother's wife" and "fourth sister-in-law". Only Su Man and Shi Yamin were relatively calm.
Su Man was not close to Xia Qingxi for a while because of her friendship with Mo Xiaoxiao, but she did not say anything to embarrass her.
After her daughter was lost, Shi Yamin was cold to everyone and never smiled.
After everyone had been introduced, Lu Jingjing called Su Yang, who was sitting quietly at the side, over. Although Su Yang was not as lively as the other children, he was still very polite and respectfully called Xia Qingying:
"Hello, Fourth Aunt."
Xia Qingying smiled and raised her hand to touch his head, then handed him the gift she had prepared and said:
"Hello, Su Yang, I don't know what you like, so I bought you a box of cookies." When
Su Yang heard the words "cookies", his face changed instantly, and he didn't take it, and his eyes looked towards the kitchen in fear.
Because Su Yang didn't raise his hand to take it, Xia Qingying kept bending over to hand it over, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Xia Qingying was wondering if the child didn't like the gift she bought, when Su Xiangnan stood up at the right time, took it from her hand, put it in Su Yang's arms and said,
"Gao Xing is stupid, take it and put it in your room."
Su Yang also came back to his senses at this time, looked at Xia Qingying and said politely,
"Thank you, fourth aunt."
Su Yang followed Su Xiangnan's words and quickly returned to his room with the iron box.
Although Xia Qingying felt that the child's expression was a little strange, she didn't care too much.
Soon the dishes were placed on the table. At this time, the second brother Su Xiangxi arrived late. Xia Qingliu noticed that this second brother was indeed as described in the book, not talkative and even a little gloomy.
In the book, Su Xiangxi was a big villain. His father and Su Yunfei were originally comrades-in-arms, but under the temptation of interests, he betrayed our party. When he woke up, it was too late. In the end, he died to save Su Yunfei. Su Yunfei adopted his son and raised him like his own son.
Because of his life experience, Su Xiangxi had always been very self-abased, until he met the heroine Mo Xiaoxiao in the book. Mo Xiaoxiao gave him warmth that no one else had ever given him, and he fell in love with her uncontrollably, and even used all means to get her, and ended up drinking and committing suicide.
Maybe because she knew the plot in advance, Xia Qingying always felt that when Su Xiangxi looked at her, his eyes were full of scrutiny and sinisterness.
Although she felt that the character of the person in the book should not be used to define the living person sitting in front of her, but this Su Xiangxi gave her an inexplicably bad feeling.
Since it was Xia Qingxi's first time and she performed well, the meal was quite peaceful. After the meal, Xia Qingxi took photos for everyone as a souvenir.
No one expected that she could take photos. Everyone was a little surprised. The one who was most enthusiastic about taking photos was Su Wan, the younger sister of my second uncle. Xia Qingxi also patiently taught her how to pose.
Su Man, who was standing by, actually wanted to take photos too. After all, a girl of this age loves beauty. But she was still a little resistant to Xia Qingxi in her heart, so she resisted and didn't come over.
After the meal and taking photos, everyone chatted for a while before the family gathering ended.
They brought flashlights with them. Xia Qingxi and Lu Jingxie went back with flashlights, looked at the moon and bright stars in the sky, and the shadows of the two people stretched and overlapped. Xia Qingxi thought for a moment, and suddenly raised her hand to take the flashlight from Lu Jingxie and turned it off.
Lu Jingxie was just wondering, when Xia Qingxi blinked and looked at him and said,
"Look, the moonlight tonight is beautiful."
Is it beautiful? Lu Jingxie didn't feel it, because there is a moon like this every day?
Compared with the moon in the sky, he felt that the person next to him was more beautiful.
Seeing that he hadn't said anything, Xia Qingying poked him gently with her finger, then asked with a smile:
"Do you know where we are, if a girl tells a boy that the moonlight tonight is beautiful, how should the boy respond?"
"How should I respond?" Lu Jingchen didn't know that Xia Qingying was teasing him, and asked her seriously.
Xia Qingxi's smile deepened, and she deliberately said,
"General boys would say, 'The sun will be very bright tomorrow, you can wash the quilt.'"
Xia Qingxi originally wanted to tempt him to ask, "What would an unusual boy say?"
Then she could say,
"An unusual boy would say, 'I like you, too.'" Then she would tell him that when a girl says to a boy,
'The moonlight is beautiful tonight,' she is saying to a boy, 'I like you.'"
Then she would tell him that she had just said, 'The moonlight is beautiful tonight.'
But what she didn't expect was that when she said, 'General boys would say, 'The sun will be very bright tomorrow, you can wash the quilt.'" Lu Jingzhen nodded very seriously to show his agreement, and then said,
"If the moon is very bright, the probability of the sun coming out tomorrow will indeed be greater."
Xia Qingli felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her heart. It seemed that even if the moon was as bright as day tonight, she and Lu Jingchen would not have any chance of romance.
The five-minute journey was quickly completed. When they returned home, Xia Qingli took the water that she had boiled earlier to take a bath. After the bath, she went back to the master bedroom first.
While Lu Jingchen was taking a bath, she felt a little bored, so she picked up a book on the bedside table to read.
It was a military book. She turned two pages, but was not very interested. She turned the pages quickly backwards unconsciously. Suddenly, the book stopped turning pages by itself, as if it was stuck.
She turned to the page in confusion and found a photo inside. With the help of the light, she could see clearly that there was a woman in the photo, and she was somewhat familiar with this woman.
The woman was about 60% similar to Mo Chunxiao in real life, but her facial features were more delicate and her face was more beautiful than Mo Chunxiao.
She turned the photo over, her eyes suddenly stopped, her pupils shrank unconsciously, and she saw four big characters written on it:
"The only one in this life"
Xia Qingxi's head was buzzing, she thought...she thought...
so the person he was thinking about this morning was not her, and the phrase "the only one in this life" was not said to her.
She suppressed the sadness that surged in her heart. No, she couldn't be so confused. She had to find him and ask him who he was talking to, and whether he was thinking about her or Mo Xiaoxiao in the photo.
Xia Qingxi quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes and opened the door. The moment the door opened, she saw Lu Chen standing outside the door in shock, about to walk in.
When their eyes met unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing calmed down, tried to look calm, and asked:
"This morning you said you had a girl you loved, but that person... wasn't me?"
