Chapter 51 Chapter 51 "Changed person?" ...
Dai Meng said "Oh" meaningfully, and the tail end of the sound almost stretched to Shen Xiyu's face.
She nudged Shen Xiyu with her elbow, a hint of complaint in her voice, "It's fine if you didn't tell anyone else, but you didn't even tell me. How can that be considered thoughtful?"
"I really didn't mean to keep it to myself." Shen Xiyu replied softly, "It's just..."
Chen Xiyu didn't know how to explain to Dai Meng. Fortunately, she also noticed that Chen Xiyu was hesitant to speak, and was just about to smooth things over and let the matter go.
Chen Xiyu continued, "Everything feels so empty, Mengmeng. I don't know how long this drifting life will last."

None of the four were very hungry, so dinner was naturally delayed until almost ten o'clock.
Finally, Qin Yiyan couldn't stand the hunger anymore. After yelling for a few times but no one paid attention to him, he angrily overturned their flying chess board.
Of course, the final result was that he had to clean up the mess himself in shame, and was ridiculed by Dai Meng and Shen Xiyu.
In the kitchen, Liang Qi was washing vegetables. There were many people around and it was winter, so they decided that it would be troublesome to do anything. It just so happened that Shen Xiyu's family had ready-made hot pot ingredients and side dishes, so they decided to just have hot pot.
Shen Xiyu came in and walked around like a monkey king inspecting his territory, but didn't say anything about helping.
Only after she stumbled a little due to Liang Qi's secretly extended foot did she ask him with a smile, "Do you need my help?"
"Are you sure you won't make things worse?" Liang Qi grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side. "Just stay here and chat with me."
When Shen Xiyu heard this, he turned around and pretended to go out.
"We're together almost 24 hours a day, and I've run out of things to talk about with you."
"Really?" Liang Qi turned his head slightly to look at her.
This glance inexplicably reminded Shen Xiyu of the way Liang Qi looked at others before they fell in love.
She didn't like Liang Qi looking at her like that.
So he put his hands over his eyes.
"Stop it, I have work to do."
Shen Xiyu knew that her behavior looked like the unreasonable behavior of a rogue, but she did not listen to Liang Qi's words for a long time, and her head tilted to the side, not looking at him.
As the world spun, Shen Xiyu felt his body rising into the air.
Liang Qi held her arms, lifted her up, and easily carried her to the counter.
Shen Xiyu almost screamed out in surprise. The feeling of weightlessness caused by losing balance made her subconsciously loosen her hand that was covering Liang Qi's eyes, and instead tightly grasped his arm to prevent herself from falling.
"I've made so many delicious foods for you recently." Liang Qi pinched her upper arm, "Why are you still so thin? Who did you feed them to?"
"What are you doing!?" Shen Xiyu had just sat down. She was really scared.
Liang Qi supported himself on the platform with his two strong arms, holding Shen Xiyu in his arms.
"Are you angry?" He reached out and pinched Shen Xiyu's cheek, but was angrily slapped on the back of his hand by the girl. "I'm not angry yet. You didn't even agree to chat with me when I asked you to."
Shen Xiyu placed his hands on his shoulders.
"Okay, let's talk. I'm listening to whatever you talk about." She pinched the flesh on the back of Liang Qi's neck mischievously.
Liang Qi stepped forward a little, "Let me sleep here with you tonight, and I'll have a good chat with you."
"You have improper thoughts about me, you pervert." Shen Xiyu hugged himself in a dramatic manner.
"I just want to hug you." Liang Qi buried his head in the crook of her neck and acted coquettishly. He knew that Shen Xiyu could not stand him being like this.
"Come on, come on." As expected, Shen Xiyu's tone suddenly became flustered, "No matter what you do, it won't work."
"Really?"
Liang Qi continued to rub back and forth in the crook of her neck, his lips gently touching her neck from top to bottom. His movements were not heavy, but light and itchy, which made Shen Xiyu unbearable.
"Really, Mengmeng will stay with me today." Shen Xiyu explained.
"What about after they leave tomorrow?"
Liang Qi changed his position and touched her lips again and again. Just as Shen Xiyu was about to speak, he bumped into her lightly, as if he had no intention of giving Shen Xiyu any chance to speak.
Shen Xiyu was just about to restrain him and curb his evil deeds.
Both of their actions were paused by a scream from outside the door.
Dai Meng was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands. She blamed Qin Yiyan and insisted that she was too hungry. Dai Meng was closer to the kitchen, so she asked her to urge the two of them.
Who knew that I would run into such an extremely embarrassing scene.
"Qin Yiyan asked me to urge him!" Dai Meng said this and left the sight of the two people with a red face as if running away.
After going out, he hit Qin Yiyan hard on the back of his head and said, "You did it on purpose!"
At the same time, the warmth between the two people on the other side disappeared, and Shen Xiyu glared at Liang Qi fiercely.
"No tomorrow!"
*
Although Shen Xiyu strongly condemned his behavior, Liang Qi got his wish and fell asleep in her arms the next night.
He did as he said, he did nothing, just hugged Shen Xiyu from behind and slept peacefully all night.
But he slept soundly. Shen Xiyu didn't fall asleep all night. No matter how she lay down, she felt uncomfortable. But Liang Qi had fallen asleep long ago, so she didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up.
After a lot of effort, Shen Xiyu decided to slowly move his arm to the side, but this guy's arm was like a piece of iron and it didn't move at all, making Shen Xiyu think he was pretending to sleep.
Such questions were firmly denied by Liang Qi when he woke up in the morning.
"I really did fall asleep." Liang Qi changed the subject, "But, someone did kick me last night."
"How could that be? I couldn't even fall asleep, you're slandering me!"
The girl was speechless until Liang Qi took out a photo of Shen Xiyu sleeping crookedly with her arms around him.
"Get out of here tonight!"

As the Chinese New Year approached, Shen Xiyu saw that Liang Qi was not in a hurry at all every day, and couldn't help asking him.
"Aren't you going back to Los Angeles?"
Liang Qi raised his eyebrows, "You want me to leave?"
"Don't try to trick me. It's almost Chinese New Year, aren't you going home to celebrate?"
Originally Liang Qi was unwilling to speak, but after repeated questioning by Shen Xiyu, he finally told the truth.
Liang Qi called Ms. Tian Tianzhen a week ago.
"Mom, I'm not going back home for the New Year this year."
Liang Qi stood on the balcony of Shen Xiyu's house. It was open and the wind was a bit strong.
"You're looking for death, you little brat!" Tian Tianzhen was furious when she heard this. "You're not even coming back for the New Year?"
"I'm spending the New Year with my friends."
"Which friend?"
"I'll go back for a few days after the New Year." Liang Qi tried to evade her, "I'll spend some time with you then."
"Are you in love?" the person on the other side suddenly said.
Liang Qi was silent for a while.
In the end, I chose to answer her truthfully, "Yeah."
"The girl who came to your house for dinner last time?"
Liang Qi looked back at the girl sitting at the table listening to English listening. Shen Xiyu had one leg bent on the chair and the other leg dangling underneath. She didn't know what bird music was playing in the headphones, but she frowned when she heard it.
Liang Qi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Um."
"Then bring the person back." Tian Tianzhen suggested.
"Mom, she is very important to me. I'm afraid she will think too much."
"Oh, who will think too much, her or you?" The old mother laughed at him mercilessly.
"Come on, don't come back. I'm going on a trip with your dad, but no red envelopes this year." After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Liang Qi put his phone in his pocket and didn't rush in.
What my mother said was actually true. Liang Qi didn't want Shen Xiyu to feel...
How should I put it? I don't want her to feel that I pity her.
He knew very well that Shen Xiyu had drawn a line for him, a line that was the most secretive in her heart and that no one could cross. She needed to have her own social circle and her own life, rather than being highly overlapping with Liang Qi.
If I invite her, Shen Xiyu will definitely not go home with me for the New Year. Instead, she will shrink back and rethink the safe distance between the two of them.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Shen Xiyu waved his hand in front of Liang Qi's eyes. "Are you performing for me?"
Liang Qi just remembered the time when he was talking to Tian Tianzhen on the phone. He subconsciously thought about what happened at that time and his mind wandered for a while.
He grabbed Shen Xiyu's shaking hand and cracked her fingers one by one, "I'm not going back this year. I'm just eating and drinking here."
Shen Xiyu was obviously stunned for a moment, his expression unnatural.
"Won't your mother and the others say anything?"
"They're out traveling." Liang Qi sighed, "There's no one to spend the New Year with me when I go back."
Shen Xiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that. She almost got angry and sent Liang Qi back.
She didn't want Liang Qi to not even go home for the New Year because of her.

"Uncle Guan!"
That evening, Shen Xiyu pushed open the glass door of Rachel's Tavern.
However, this year's winter is long and cold, and it is impossible to judge the time from the sky. Most of the time, the sky is a gray and miserable color, and time seems to be infinitely stretched.
As the Spring Festival approaches, many units have also been closed for holidays. The lives of people in this city have slowed down, and it is rare to feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
There are more and more customers in Uncle Guan's bar recently, and many people are sitting in the bar at five o'clock.
"Keep your voice down." Uncle Guan repeated the action of wiping the cup as usual. Shen Xiyu dared to say that he was doing this eight out of ten times she came. "Your uncle is not deaf."
Liang Qi followed Shen Xiyu in and closed the door, isolating the cold air from outside.
Guan Shu didn't even glance at Shen Xiyu when she came in, but when Liang Qi came in, he raised his head slightly and glanced at him.
"Hey, someone changed?"
His faint words confused Shen Xiyu. Liang Qi looked at her with a resentful look, as if he was determined to make Shen Xiyu give him an explanation.
"What are you talking about, Uncle Guan?" Shen Xiyu looked back and forth in panic, "Don't talk nonsense."
The man at the bar looked up at the two of them again, and said while doing his work, "Oh, this is the boy you told me about last time. I thought he was your friend again, just like the last one."
"Uncle Guan!"
