☆, Chapter 94
Xiu Yangui continued to explain for Xi Mo: "Because Ouyang didn't get what she wanted."
"If things get out like that, they're just hurting each other."
This was the most reasonable guess, but Xi Mo found it hard to understand, "Why can't they express themselves?"
An ordinary little gossip was an obscure and difficult problem for Xi Mo. Looking at Xi Mo's puzzled expression, her porcelain-white face was furrowed with brows, full of confusion and thirst for knowledge, Xiu Yangui chuckled, "It's not that easy to express."
They were just bystanders, and would forget about the matter after gossiping. Xiu Yangui thought that Xi Mo just couldn't understand the way they got along, and that she was too sympathetic and couldn't bear to see anyone sad.
But that's not entirely true. Xi Mo was thinking of Xiu Yangui. After she fell ill and was unaware of the outside world, she had also neglected Xiu Yangui.
After a while, Xi Mo said in silence: "Were you sad at that time?"
"Will you cry?"
Xiu Yangui paused for a moment, and after a few breaths, he put away his nonchalant look, sat up straight, and looked into Xi Mo's eyes. He saw something in them that he had longed for.
He pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, but it was not a direct response.
"We are different from them, Xi Momo."
Having said that, I began to feel a slight pain in my heart, as if I was back in those days of panic.
Now he can pretend to be strong and act as if nothing happened, but the prerequisite is that she does not feel sorry for him.
Xi Mo stood up, walked towards Xiu Yangui, squatted in front of him, and looked straight into his eyes that were shimmering with amber water waves.
"no the same."
"But you're sad."
Xiu Yangui wanted to keep up a smile and pretend to be tough, but he couldn't. He took a deep breath and decided to just give up.
"sad."
"I cried."
He didn't say "will cry", but "have cried".
Xi Mo just looked at him, her clear eyes rippled in the blink of an eye, and she whispered softly: "I'm sorry."
Xiu Yangui smiled and pulled Xi Mo closer to him, "Are we going to apologize to each other now?"
"We agreed before, what's done is done."
He knew Xi Mo was blaming herself, but Xi Mo had done nothing wrong.
On the contrary, if he had not been so sensitive and fragile before, had not been so stubborn, and had not deliberately alienated Xi Mo because of his self-esteem and status, they would not have drifted apart.
Xi Mo was silent, her delicate and flawless face had no luster, and her eyes were filled with layers of sadness. The days of separation had no impact on her, and she continued to live a peaceful and stable life. However, she didn't know that at the same time, there was someone who needed her very much and only needed her.
Things have passed, but the hurt will not be taken away by time.
"You're not going to cry, are you, Xi Momo?"
I was just teasing Xi Mo, trying to lighten the mood, but Xi Mo just nodded and admitted, "I'm going to cry..."
Xiu Yangui sighed softly, moved closer to Xi Mo, and hugged her in his arms, forehead to forehead, "Why are you crying?"
Xi Mo blinked her sore eyes and answered frankly: "I feel sorry for you."
The smile that was originally on the corner of his mouth slowly dissipated with Xi Mo's words. Xiu Yangui seemed to have lost all his strength. He lowered his head obediently and leaned against Xi Mo's shoulder. His words were light and not concrete, but his tone was full of relief.
"Fortunately, you didn't care about me at the time, so you didn't have to feel sad."
In those days, it was enough for him to be sad alone.
Xiu Yangui didn't say this out loud. He looked up and kissed Xi Mo's cheek. He could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Xi Mo. The person who had to be cautious just looking at her back then, now could hold the one he loved in his arms.
The heart in his chest was beating steadily and violently, filled with only satisfaction and pleasure. He didn't want time to stop here, but wanted to have a longer future with her.
After finishing her meal, Moli turned around and saw her two little masters hugging each other. She walked towards them with lazy steps, jumped onto the sofa nimbly, found the right moment, and fell between the two of them without any hesitation.
Xi Mo sat astride Xiu Yangui's thighs. Just as she slightly left the warm and strong embrace, a fat furry cat bumped into her arms.
Although Moli was forced to manage her figure and had made some changes under Xiu Yangui's strict control, it was still difficult for Xi Mo to cope with it.
This hit Xi Mo hard, and she pressed her chest in pain, while the perpetrator was still meowing innocently.
Xi Mo was reluctant to let Moli go, nor was she willing to scold it. She just taught it softly, "This won't do, Moli."
"It will hurt if it hits you."
Xi Mo was reluctant to leave, but Xiu Yan was willing to leave.
Before the kitten could meow enough, he picked it up and threw it back onto the sofa, scolding it: "How do you drive?"
"Stupid cat."
Xi Mo was still in pain, but she also stood up bravely to protect the kitten, "Don't scold it."
Knowing that someone was backing her up, Moli jumped off the sofa without even looking at Xiu Yangui, walked towards Xi Mo with a cat-like gait, and hugged Xi Mo again. Xi Mo stopped hugging Xiu Yangui and started hugging Moli, looking as if she was healed by the cat.
Xiu Yangui felt helpless when he saw the scene of the man and the cat loving each other.
"It hit you like this and you're not scolding it, are you praising it?"
"Well, so I'm the bad guy."
Then he began to mutter angrily: "Your uncle dotes on its father. This stupid cat really knows how to pick the right time. I don't believe it if it doesn't do it on purpose."
"Hello, you are one family, and I am an outsider."
"Go ahead and piss me off, even if I die, that'll just make room for you guys."
Xi Mo hugged Moli and buried herself in Xiu Yangui's arms again. She grabbed his clothes and raised her head to rub his chin, "No."
"What do you mean 'don't'?" Xiu Yangui supported Xi Mo's body and they put some distance between them. "How dare I, who smells like a human, touch you, who smells like a cat?"
"I have retired, and this retirement will last forever."
Listening to Xiu Yangui's nonsense, Xi Mo leaned hard against his chest. This time she stopped hugging the cat and used her free hands to hug his neck.
"Don't retreat."
"Why are you hugging me? Go hug it."
Although he said this, his body was honest. Xiu Yangui had no intention of pushing Xi Mo away. He just wanted to satisfy his urge to speak, so he just went with the flow and the two of them hugged each other tightly again.
He had clearly gotten what he wanted, with the beautiful girl in his arms, but he still couldn't stop his shameless steps.
"So fickle? After hugging it, you hug me now. What does that mean? Am I a replacement for it?"
"No," Xi Mo raised her head, her pink lips imprinted on his cheek, "You are the one I want to hug the most."
In response to Xi Mo's sincere and proactive response, Xiu Yangui just snorted coldly, lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows with contempt and complacency at the cat lying alone on the ground without anyone holding it, while giving his acceptance speech.
"How could a woman who was protected by a handsome guy fall in love with a fat cat?"
The heartwarming moment of the two people and the cat brought a perfect end to the first day of the holiday and laid a good foundation for the holiday. The young couple almost stuck together during the holidays. In addition to petting the cat and studying, they also met with friends.
Familiar people, familiar places, happy atmosphere, ordinary and repetitive activities, but I don’t feel bored or tired, but rather feel fulfilled and comfortable.
"All friends, start, start, start!"
"Hurry up and log in, Xi Xiaomo, Brother Xiu, Brother Yu."
"Are you ready, kids?"
"Alright Captain."
"I'm ready. I'm ready."
"Woo~" "Woo~"
There were only two people talking about all this, Chen Nianyu and Xiaoqi. They were the two who loved playing in a five-person team the most. There were exactly five of them, and no one of them could be missing when logging in. A family must be complete.
Xiaoqi, who dyed her hair back to black, looks less rebellious. With a pair of big black-framed glasses, she looks more like a student. She is still so quirky, like a cute doll that can move and talk.
But once she opened her mouth, her true nature was revealed.
"Hahahaha, we're so fucking awesome."
"The jungle and the overlord are completely cleared. The opponent can't even get a fart. This round is a no-brainer win. It feels so good."
Xiao Qi dropped the mouse, twisted his body, and faced Chen Nianyu and Yu Lan.
"Brothers, can you continue to lead us to lie down? Thank you, brothers."
Xi Mo looked at Xiao Qi's funny bowing figure, then turned her head to look at the other side, and imitated Xiu Yangui's words: "Brother, can you continue to lie down with me?"
Xiu Yangui was stunned, unable to restrain the upward curve of his lips. He leaned back on the gaming chair with a serious expression, his eyelids slightly drooping, his three-dimensional and sharp face catching everyone's eye.
"How do you lie down?"
"Lying on your side, lying flat, or my romantic style?"
For a long while, Xi Mo remained silent and calmly withdrew her gaze. Her indifferent look touched Xiu Yangui's heart.
He took advantage of the fact that the three people over there weren't noticing and took Xi Mo in his arms and kissed her several times, "Ignore me, Xi Momo."
"Why are you like this? It's not like I don't want to. I will definitely help you win."
Xi Mo touched Xiu Yangui's hand that was pinching her cheek, and nuzzled his shoulder, "Thank you, brother."
Xiu Yangui's mouth was almost split open with laughter. How could there be such a well-behaved child? He kissed Xi Mo several times, like a woodpecker.
The two of them were at the very back of the row, with a dancing Xiao Qi in the middle blocking Chen Nianyu and Yu Lan. This gave Xiu Yangui a great opportunity to indulge himself, but it was a pity for Xi Mo, who had to be harassed from time to time.
Xiaoqi didn't notice that the atmosphere next door was very intense and he was so immersed in his victory that he couldn't extricate himself.
Every game went smoothly without exception. After a smooth and enjoyable game, Xiao Qi said he would treat everyone to a meal, but another person paid the bill. Xi Mo knew this person, or perhaps she had known him in her previous life.
"This is my brother, Lu Ziqi."
Lu Ziqi, who looks a few years younger than the one in my memory, no longer has melancholy and desolation in his eyes. Instead, there is a shining light in his eyes, which is the expectation and yearning for the future, and the love for life and family.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Ziqi, Xiaoqi's brother."
"Hello, Brother Lu!"
Chen Nianyu responded enthusiastically, livening up the atmosphere.
Lu Ziqi smiled and nodded, looking at his sister's friends, all of whom were pretty and handsome, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The young are formidable, and the future is promising.
This must be the legendary Ka Yan Bureau.
Xiao Qi waved his hand and said generously, "Everyone, eat as much as you want today. My brother will pay the bill. Don't be polite."
Lu Ziqi agreed with his sister and said, "Yes, just order whatever you like. Thank you all for taking care of my sister. I guess I've caused you a lot of trouble."
"Brother, what are you talking about! I don't cause trouble to others. I am a happy person."
"Talk less."
Although Lu Ziqi glanced at his sister with disdain, the affection in his eyes was obvious.
In the middle of the meal, Lu Ziqi raised his glass and solemnly thanked Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui for resolving the matter of Lu's relatives. He was not at all arrogant, but only showed his love for his sister as a brother and felt remorse and guilt for not taking good care of her.
As he spoke, the young man choked up a little.
"There are only two of us at home. She encountered difficulties and didn't want to tell me. I wasn't at home and couldn't help. It's all thanks to you guys."
"Xiao Qi is lucky to have friends like you. It's a blessing for her and me."
"I'm not as smart as my sister, and I can't speak well. Everything I wanted to say was in the wine. Thank you."
Xiaoqi was dissatisfied with her brother for making the scene so sentimental, but her eyes were secretly red. She stood next to Lu Ziqi and imitated her brother to thank her friends.
Chen Nianyu had a low tear point and couldn't stand this scene. He was about to cry, "It's okay, we are all friends. It's what we should do. No need to be so polite."
Xi Mo was also a little moved. She had seen the young man looking into the distance with a sad and confused look on his face. In this life, he would no longer wander alone in the world, and they, brother and sister, would have a happier life.
The meal was filled with both tears and sweetness. In just two hours, everyone became familiar with each other. Chen Nianyu and Lu Ziqi began to treat each other like brothers, as if they had met too late, as if they had known each other in their previous life.
Coincidentally, the person Ouyang Qian introduced to them yesterday - Zeng Rong, turned out to be Lu Ziqi's work partner, which made people sigh that this world is really small.
The person they knew in the previous life met earlier in this life because of the butterfly effect. Xi Mo couldn't help but pay more attention to Lu Ziqi. At the end of the meal, Lu Ziqi also noticed the gaze of this girl in front of him who had a superior appearance and a noble temperament. The gaze was gentle and calm, like the sunlight shining through the glass, pouring on the skin with a faint warmth.
Although it was a look he had never seen before, it felt strangely familiar. The delicate mole at the end of the eye seemed to have been engraved in his mind from a previous life, making Lu Ziqi feel dazed for a few seconds.
When their eyes met, they smiled at each other at the same time. At that moment, they couldn't help but realize that this level of tacit understanding was like that of good friends who had known each other for a long time.
When Lu Ziqi went to pay the bill, Xiao Qi approached Xiu Yangui with a wicked smile, "Brother Xiu, tremble. If you treat Xi Xiaomo badly, I will let my brother take over."
Xiu Yangui glanced at Xiao Qi and knew why she suddenly said this. They both saw the knowing smile between Lu Ziqi and Xi Mo during the meal just now.
So Xiaoqi came to threaten Xiu Yangui, just like the villain in the novel who broke up the protagonist.
"Hehehe."
