Aunt Yan walked in with her head down.
"Here's what happened... Xi Ci and Xiao Ran are together."
After she finished speaking, as if afraid that the old man couldn't handle it, she mustered up her courage and looked at his face.
At this moment, Yan's father felt as if he were dreaming.
His somewhat aged face was filled with disbelief.
What did you say?
How could this be?
Yan's mother mustered her courage and raised her voice considerably.
"I'm telling you, Xi Ci and Xiao Ran are together!"
Now that I already know, I'll just be frank with him!
Upon receiving this answer, a tremendous wave of emotion surged in Yan's father's eyes.
You should know that Xiao Ran is Yan Xici's brother-in-law!
What? The thing that people were talking about a few days ago actually happened in my own home?
He was so surprised that he was momentarily speechless.
The unsurprising silence created a tense atmosphere.
Aunt Yan said worriedly, "Don't get agitated..."
How could I not be excited?
Anyone would be excited about this.
Yan's father took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before looking at her face.
When did this happen?
He even had a terrible thought: could Yan Li's divorce be related to Yan Xici?
Otherwise, why would they be together?
This is the only explanation he can think of right now.
The more I thought about it, the more my blood pressure seemed to rise, and even my fingers started to tremble slightly.
"What a misfortune for our family!"
He gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing this, Yan's mother hurriedly came over and sat on the bed, helping him catch his breath while anxiously explaining.
"No, no, they got together after they were divorced. To be honest, it's my fault."
"I asked Xici to stay and keep an eye on Xiao Ran, because I was worried that Xiao Ran would get together with someone else. Who knew that this girl would end up getting herself into trouble while keeping an eye on him?"
Ms. Yan was also quite helpless about this matter.
But what could I do since it was already like this? I could only agree.
Yan's father sighed and gradually began to accept reality.
"Does Lili know?"
"Know."
What was her reaction?
"How could he not react? He's definitely unhappy, like the sky is about to fall."
"You knew all along, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Oh, you're not in good health, I'm just afraid that I might upset you and cause you any more harm."
Mother Yan spoke earnestly.
Honestly, I was truly thinking of his health.
Yan's father felt a dull tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe properly.
He waved to his wife, "You go out first, I need some peace and quiet."
Aunt Yan wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's expression, she ultimately said nothing and silently walked out.
Yan's father lay in bed, his mind a complete mess, nothing he thought of seemed right.
The most urgent thing is to call Yan Xici and ask her to come back and explain things to me!
Thinking about it, he picked up the phone that his wife had just placed by the bedside and dialed his second daughter, Yan Xici.
I'm going to ask them what exactly happened!
Unfortunately, Yan Xici's phone was completely out of battery and was lying quietly in Xiao Ran's pocket.
The two unsuspecting young couple held hands, enjoying the unfamiliar atmosphere and lively surroundings.
The girl's face radiated a rare happiness.
I couldn't help but think that I wish time could stop at this moment.
That way, she could stay with Xiao Ran forever.
After walking around for more than an hour, the girl's face finally showed signs of fatigue.
She pulled on Xiao Ran's arm, and her body involuntarily leaned against him.
"Brother Xiao Ran, let's go back, I'm a little tired."
Her tone was as soft as her body.
You know, it's perfectly normal for a young girl on her period to be a little tired after walking around outside all afternoon.
Xiao Ran took out his phone and checked the time; there was still an hour until midnight.
I was planning to give her the gift now, but honestly, it's really getting late.
Not only her, but her parents should also go back to rest.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Then let's go back now."
It seems the only way to give her the gift is to sneak into her room at night.
"Uh-huh."
Hearing that she could go home, the girl nodded obediently; she really was a little tired.
"Let's go then, let's go find Mom and Dad."
Yan Xici linked arms with Xiao Ran. The girl, who was already not very strong, was even more exhausted when she heard that she had to turn back and walk a distance again.
My body inexplicably became weaker and weaker.
Even the little hand that was still on his arm drooped down, and the outside of the hand touched the hard little box in Xiao Ran's pants pocket.
I sensed something was wrong.
Yan Xici couldn't help but wonder, what is so hard?
The curious girl couldn't resist pinching it with her little hand.
When I squeeze it, it feels like a box or something.
She became increasingly curious, her big eyes peering into Xiao Ran's pocket.
She didn't say anything, but squeezed her little hand against his pocket again.
Feeling his pocket move, Xiao Ran subconsciously looked down and saw the girl's fair and delicate hand.
"What are you doing?"
Yan Xici was too tired to say a word. She raised an eyebrow at his pocket.
A single action already reveals one's problem.
What's inside?
Xiao Ran seemed to hear her voice.
He pursed his lips.
To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to say this, since I've been keeping it a secret from her for two days in order to surprise her.
There's still an hour to go, it would be a huge loss to say it now.
"It's nothing," he tried to cover it up.
"What is 'nothing'?"
Yan Xici's big eyes darted around, and she persisted relentlessly.
People are sometimes like that. They aren't really that curious, but the more they try to hide it from others, the more curious they become.
I just wanted to see what it was that he wouldn't let me see.
Xiao Ran was speechless at her question.
"Oh, 'nothing' just means there's nothing there."
"But it's definitely there, and it's so big!"
Yan Xici's eyes widened, and after speaking, she pinched it again with her little hand. Sure enough, after pinching it several times, she could actually feel that it was shaped like a peach heart. So what exactly is this thing?
Xiao Ran: ...........
I should have put it in that pocket over there!
Well, now she's found out!
The surprise is about to end!
