☆, Chapter 78
Sometimes he would give people a feeling of being far away from them, and since he was a boy, it was hard for him to say something intimate and caring. But now it’s different. He has grown up, become braver, and cherishes the friendship around him even more.
Zhou Beizhen is not a carefree and rough person. On the contrary, he is thoughtful and would feel sad because of the alienation between his friends. But at this moment, Zhou Beizhen feels that he and Xiu Yangui are closer, and their friendship seems to have become stronger invisibly.
His eyes were red because of a friend's words.
Birds of a feather flock together. There is a reason why the three of them can get along well with each other. They are all a group of emotionally sensitive and loyal children.
The sun quietly moved to the center of the sky without anyone noticing. It was time for lunch. Everyone had been walking and playing all morning and was tired. Without Lao Lin urging them, most of the students had already sat down in the dining room. Of course, everyone chose to sit at a table with their good friends.
Xiu Yangui finally got his wish and was able to interact with Xi Mo. Although he was excited inside, his face remained calm and composed. He didn't even glance at Xi Mo. He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, waiting for the food to be served.
Everyone looked at the two of them, laughing secretly, exchanging glances that only they understood. Qin Xinwei coughed and said, "Alright, alright, restrain yourself. Stop staring and eat."
It had to be the squad leader again. The other people in the box finally turned their eyes away and started a new topic. Qin Rui also withdrew his lingering gaze with hatred.
Xiu Yangui breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. He had been very serious just now and now he could finally relax. Xi Mo was sitting next to him. When he thought of this, he felt itchy in his heart and couldn't hold back.
When no one noticed, he leaned towards Xi Mo, and looked at her with half-closed eyelids pretending to be casual. "Want to play games later? Anian said he was bored and wanted to play with a team."
Very good, this is a really good excuse, well-founded and reasonable. Xiu Yangui applauded himself in his heart.
As he approached, Xi Mo also leaned to the side. Her superior and beautiful profile was elegant and beautiful, and the small brown-red mole at the end of her eyebrow was bright, making her look more lively and lovely. Xiu Yangui originally wanted to look at her for a few seconds and then look away naturally, but he didn't expect that the more he looked, the more he couldn't look away, and his eyes were fixed on Xi Mo's face unconsciously.
Xi Mo nodded, her eyes met Xiu Yangui's for a moment, and she said, "Okay."
They stared at each other for maybe three seconds, and then Xiu Yangui sat back in his chair stiffly, took a deep breath, and when he looked up, he saw the undisguised smiles on the faces of the other people in the box.
Xiu Yangui's heart choked for a moment, and he almost couldn't swallow his breath. "You guys, are you okay?"
"No, no, no." "It's okay." "No, no, you guys continue, you guys continue."
What kind of people are these? Xiu Yangui roared speechlessly in his heart. He could only say that it was a good thing that Xi Mo was not a shy person, otherwise, after being teased by them, she might have retreated into her shell and dared not come out.
The meal is over, but the students can still play here for an hour or so. The birds out of the cage are full of energy again after eating and drinking, walking here and there.
Although Xiu Yangui asked Xi Mo to play games together just now, there are only the two of them here now. Chen Nianyu and Zhou Beizhen have disappeared somewhere.
Xiu Yangui sat on a stone bench beside the flower bed, his hands crossed on his thighs, his eyes lowered, as if thinking about something. Xi Mo walked towards Xiu Yangui. Just now when they were eating, she vaguely noticed that Xiu Yangui was worried, but it was just a vague feeling. Now seeing his appearance, she was sure.
"Return from the feast."
Xi Mo stood in front of Xiu Yangui. The stone chair was higher, so Xiu Yangui was sitting a little lower than Xi Mo. She raised her head and looked at her level. Xiu Yangui's smile did not reach his eyes, but was slightly bitter. "I don't know where they ran off to. Come, sit here and wait."
"Can you come up? Do you want me to carry you?"
He was making funny remarks as usual, but it seemed like he was forcing a smile. Something was weighing on his mind. Xi Mo looked at him steadily, "Is there something bothering you?"
"You can tell me and I will help you solve it."
Xiu Yangui lowered his eyelids again, his crow-feather eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. His peach blossom eyes were not as bright as before. His tone was raised but not cheerfully, "Xi Momo, we are not a good match. What should we do?"
Xiu Yangui did not forget the gap between him and Xi Mo. Before they were together, he could ignore it and be an idealist, but after they were together, the happier and more satisfied he felt, the more uneasy he became. Reality is always cruel, and the huge gap is like a knife hanging over his head, which will give him a fatal blow when he is smiling.
He was too weak and incompetent and could not give Xi Mo anything. Xi Mo was a fairy in heaven, and he was just an ordinary stone on the ground. He was not the most suitable person to accompany Xi Mo for life, nor was he the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xi Mo.
But he was delusionally dreaming that he could be with Xi Mo forever and go on with Xi Mo. He wanted to have a future with Xi Mo, but it was just his thought. In fact, the decision was always in Xi Mo's hands.
The look Xiu Yangui cast at her again contained many emotions, including pity, cherishment, love, a hint of melancholy and confusion, and more of fear and helplessness.
He raised the corner of his mouth awkwardly, as if to smile bitterly, "We are not done playing together."
Xi Mo took a step forward, getting closer to Xiu Yangui, and looked straight into his fragile eyes like glass. "I don't need someone who is right for me, I need someone who makes my heart beat."
"Let me be the one who survives."
"That person is you, only you."
Xi Mo didn’t understand before, she didn’t know what “heart-beating” meant. When she understood it, she found that she had already learned “like”.
She was dull and indifferent, and continued her peaceful life by imitating the people around her, but she was like a walking corpse. Many people passed by her, but no one noticed her emptiness and void, including her parents who were far away.
It was Xiu Yangui who broke into her world on his own, made her laugh, made her play, and brought her life into color. In the end, he made her come alive, once again, in the truest sense of the word.
Just think of it as Xi Mo being too naive and stubborn. The willfulness and arrogance that she didn't have time to display in her previous life have accumulated in this life. In this life, she can't leave Xiu Yangui. She needs Xiu Yangui.
Xi Mo's words were like the promise she made to Xiu Yangui. He was probably not in a clear mind, and subconsciously believed it without a doubt. He gave his whole body and soul to Xi Mo without any reservation. "Then I believe it. You can't lie to me. You're a puppy if you lie to me."
Perhaps it was because Xiu Yangui's expression was too cautious. Although his words were childish, the emotions he revealed made people unable to laugh at him or hurt his feelings, which made Xi Mo feel pity for him.
She moved closer to Xiu Yangui again, this time with a purpose: she wanted to kiss him.
Xiu Yangui waited blankly for Xi Mo to approach, but before he could react, Xi Mo paused at the critical moment, stopped moving forward, blinked, and asked innocently, "Can I kiss you?"
Xiu Yangui was sweating profusely. The wait was truly unbearable. His Adam's apple rolled over, and he swallowed nervously and with difficulty before quickly replying, "Sure."
Xi Mo continued to move as he finished speaking. Xiu Yangui was always more anxious than her. For a moment, Xi Mo could only notice the mole on his nose.
Neither of them had any experience in kissing, so they kissed dryly for a few seconds. Then Xiu Yangui grabbed Xi Mo's wrist and stood up. Not only were their faces close, but their bodies were also touching.
Xi Mo might have felt cold in this place and was very sensitive to temperature. As soon as Xiu Yan Guiyi approached, she immediately felt the warmth coming from him, which was probably the temper of a high school boy.
The two breaths intertwined hotly, and the wet lips licked and rubbed each other gently. Xi Mo felt that this was more unbearable than holding her breath when she was learning to swim as a child. In addition to the difficulty in breathing, there was also a strong throbbing in her heart and a slight physical tremor.
After kissing Xi Mo, Xiu Yangui buried his head in her shoulders and refused to move, breathing only slightly heavily. Xi Mo pursed her lips which were beginning to swell. In fact, the "kiss" she imagined was just a light touch, but this simple and rough one was not bad either.
Xi Mo is open-minded, but Xiu Yangui is not. He is extremely shy. He is the one who rushes to kiss, but he is also the one who dares not show his face after kissing. Not only does he dare not show his face, he also wants to hug his arms. I don’t know whose heartbeat is too loud. Although there is a certain probability that it is Xi Mo’s, it is only 0.0001 percent.
It’s definitely his, so embarrassing.
Xi Mo didn't know what Xiu Yangui was thinking, because he was reluctant to leave and kept sticking to her. Xi Mo waited for a while but he was still the same, but she didn't have any objection to it. She even put her arms around Xiu Yangui's waist and hugged him.
There was really no other thought, it was just that Xiu Yangui was like a warm baby, comfortable to hug. Although his body was stiff, Xi Mo liked it.
Before the happy things are over, the annoying person is about to appear. Xiu Yangui's cheap father invites all the classmates and Lao Lin to have dinner at the hotel under the name of Xiu Group.
As soon as everyone walked out of the scenic area, they got into the Xiu family's luxurious private car and arrived at a high-end luxurious international hotel. In the lobby, Xiu Shangzhu and Xiu Changle were talking with some men and women at the level of corporate CEOs who were also wearing suits and dresses. No one knew what they were talking about, but Xiu Changle's face couldn't hide the ugliness.
Xiu Yangui, who was walking at the back, narrowed his eyes slightly, his impatience reaching its peak. He originally wanted to slip away from this disgusting dinner, but he couldn't find any opportunity.
Lao Lin wanted to count the number of people, but before he finished, the Xiu family sent people to pick them up. Six extended Lincoln limousines blocked the road, which was already narrow.
I don’t know if Xiu Shangzhu had specifically instructed the drivers, but two or three of them went straight for Xiu Yangui, and they didn’t want him to get away. They had to get him in the car. After seeing Xiu Yangui’s cold face, the drivers finally stopped their attentiveness.
There was no other way. In order to show that he didn't care about anything about the Xiu family, Xiu Yangui could only get into the car with a natural expression and graceful movements.
All the way, he endured the eager gazes of the driver in front of him through the rearview mirror, as if he regarded him as the future head of the Xiu family.
He had already prepared himself mentally on the way, but the moment he saw Xiu Shangzhu, Xiu Yangui felt sick reflexively. He leaned towards his friends and didn't hide his annoyance towards Xiu Shangzhu, "What do you think he's doing with the lights off?"
Chen Nianyu moved closer and touched Xiu Yangui's head. "I know. Psychological warfare."
"He just waved his hand, and I heard many classmates want to recognize him as their father, asking if he still needs a son or a daughter."
Xiu Yangui wanted to laugh when he heard this. Xiu Shangzhu still needed children? He had a lot of illegitimate children. "Heh."
Xi Mo has always respected the elderly and loved the young, and treated people kindly and politely, but this did not prevent her from standing on her partner's side. She had to give way to Xiu Yangui in everything and said, "Don't let him influence you."
Xi Mo's words were still effective. Xiu Yangui nodded and said, "Okay."
I finally managed to calm down for a while, but Xiu Shangzhu was about to cause trouble.
While Xiu Shangzhu was talking to others, he saw Xiu Yangui walking at the end, trying to distance himself from them.
But he focused his attention on Xi Mo who was beside Xiu Yangui, and said to Chen Long: "Hey, Old Chen, what a coincidence, Changle and President Xi's daughter are classmates."
As expected, Chen Long was also diverted to the topic, "Ah? Cheng Ge's daughter, Momo."
"Oh, it's been years since we last met. I've grown so big now. I wonder if you still remember me."
Chen Long waved at Xi Mo, without any adult airs, but with a friendly tone, "Momo."
The eyes of the people around followed the adults' gaze and moved to Xi Mo. Xi Mo looked in that direction, her expression unchanged. A polite smile was on her calm face, and she walked forward naturally, "Uncle Chen."
Seeing that Xi Mo still remembered him, Chen Long smiled so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, "Momo, you still remember your uncle."
"Come on, come on, uncle hasn't been back to City A for a long time, I just brought some things."
The assistant next to him immediately handed over the jewelry bag in his hand, and Chen Long picked out a few styles suitable for young girls.
"Uncle didn't prepare anything this time, I'll bring you something better next time. When Brother Cheng and Sister Ruan come back, uncle will treat you to a meal."
Chen Long, the chairman of a Fortune 500 jewelry company and Xi Yicheng's junior, is not married and has no children. He treats Xi Mo like his own child.
Chen Long wanted to talk to Xi Mo more, but he had to catch a plane, so he had to leave first.
Xi Mo also wanted to leave, but before she turned around, Xiu Shangzhu pulled Xiu Changle forward.
"Changle, you must get along well with sister Xi Mo. Although we won't be classmates anymore, we can still be good friends."
It’s amazing to say, the circle of rich people is actually not that big, but each social circle has its own rules.
Those who get along well with the Xi family are those who are honest, principled and have bottom lines, while people like Xiu Shangzhu who are unfaithful, promiscuous and morally corrupt cannot get in even if they want to.
However, he became much more restrained in his behavior after middle age, and that's when we gradually started to interact.
Xiu Shangzhu would not miss this opportunity to make friends with the Xi family. Since he could not have contact with Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen, he would interact with Xi Mo, and the little girl was easier to deal with.
