Chapter 164 Finale (Part 1)
The early morning sunlight shone through the thin gauze curtains and fell on Xia Linxing's face.
Xia Linxing frowned, subconsciously wanting to ask Chen Ma to come in and help him draw the curtains. But just as the word "Chen Ma" came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized -
I have already left the Xia family.
He is now in the house he just rented.
Xia Linxing opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Only when his stomach started to growl did he get up from the bed.
There was no other way. He was no longer the young master of the Xia family. So, he had to prepare three meals a day by himself.
Fortunately, when Xia Linxing rented a house, System 999 helped him a lot and specially picked a residential area with convenient facilities around it. There was a breakfast shop and a convenience store just a few steps downstairs.
Xia Linxing rubbed his stomach, yawned, and went into the bathroom. While squeezing toothpaste onto his toothbrush, he excitedly asked System 999, "999, does the breakfast shop downstairs have any recommendations?"
There was a calm in my mind.
The voice that would have responded to him immediately did not sound.
Xia Linxing paused while brushing his teeth.
Oh, yeah...
Xia Linxing lowered his eyes and felt depressed.
System 999 has left.
After he left the Xia family, System 999 had already received the notification that his mission was complete. In fact, System 999 should have left at that time, but System 999 insisted on delaying it until after helping Xia Linxing rent a house and confirming his residence, and only then did it leave at the last minute and say goodbye to Xia Linxing.
Xia Linxing didn't even realize that the system that had been with him since he arrived in this strange world was no longer there.
It made him...very uncomfortable.
Xia Linxing brushed his teeth listlessly, and he had no interest in starting a new life alone.
no!
Xia Linxing spat out the foam in his mouth and patted his face.
He couldn't continue to be so depressed! He couldn't let down everything that System 999 had arranged for him!
Start the new day by buying a bag of snacks to reward yourself!
…
"No news yet?"
In the living room of the Xia family, Xia Hongyi sat on the sofa, hugged Su Mingyu's shoulders who was wiping her tears and comforted her in a low voice, while turning his head to look anxiously at Xie Tinglan who was on the phone not far away.
Xie Tinglan put down his phone, frowned, and shook his head.
"It's all my fault..."
After receiving the answer, Su Mingyu sobbed: "It's all because I was busy with the banquet and ignored Xingxing, which made Xingxing feel sad, so Xingxing ran away from home..."
Xia Hongyi quickly comforted Su Mingyu, "It's not your fault alone. I didn't notice Xingxing's abnormality... I'm not a qualified father either."
"I haven't settled the relationship between Xiaobai and Xingxing yet... I'm so eager to hold the party. This must have made Xingxing sad..."
"It's not your fault..." Su Mingyu shook her head with tears in her eyes. "Holding the banquet at this time was because the news leaked online first, so you had to hold the banquet urgently to explain Xiaobai's identity."
"Hmm..." Seeing that Su Mingyu no longer blamed herself, Xia Hongyi quickly changed the subject: "I have already arranged for people to investigate the online revelations. I believe that after a few days, the results should be out..."
It's just right to let the person who leaked the news bear the wrath of the Xia family.
"It was my fault……"
Shen Sibai, who was standing not far from Xie Tinglan, saw the situation on the sofa, lowered his head, and could not see the expression on his face.
In fact, since his identity was announced and he returned to the Xia family, Xia Linxing has been avoiding him, which shows Xia Linxing's attitude towards his return.
Shen Sibai was not sad about Xia Linxing's unfriendly attitude. After all, no matter who it was, if they were suddenly informed that the home they had lived in for 20 years was not their home, and the parents who had raised them for 20 years were not their parents, they would have a friendly attitude towards the "culprit" who caused all this.
He was just sad... Xia Linxing didn't seem to like him as a brother.
"It was because of my appearance that Xingxing ran away from home..."
"Running away from home?" Xie Tinglan was reading a message on his phone. Hearing this, he sneered without even looking up.
Xia Linxing didn't run away from home.
He's running away!
He also went to check Xia Linxing's house with the Xia family. Although Xia Linxing did not take too many things with him (which was also the reason why the Xia family thought he had run away from home), it was precisely because of this that Xie Tinglan felt that Xia Linxing had no intention of coming back.
Because the more things you carry, the farther you can go.
What's more, Xia Linxing took away all the important things, including documents, photos, yearbooks, underwear...all these things are gone.
Although the Xia family always thought that it was Shen Sibai's return and their careless neglect of Xia Linxing's relationship that led to Xia Linxing's departure, Xie Tinglan did not think so.
Xia Linxing... must have escaped.
Xie Tinglan had deliberately pointed out the difference in Xia Linxing's handwriting in order to hint to Xia Linxing that he already knew his little secret and there was no need to hide it anymore; but now it seemed that Xia Linxing had misunderstood.
That little idiot...didn't he think that he was warning him?
Xie Tinglan clenched the phone in his hand, wishing he could appear in front of Xia Linxing right now, grab him tightly, and see what was going on in his little head.
"bite--"
The cell phone vibrated in Xie Tinglan's palm, interrupting his thoughts on how to deal with Xia Linxing after finding him.
He glanced down casually.
But the moment he saw the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Found it!”
…
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xia Linxing curled up on the sofa in the rental house, watching the program on TV and laughing while stuffing potato chips into his mouth happily.
The small coffee table in front of him was already piled with bags of snacks that were opened, unopened, or finished.
Woohoo, this kind of life is really great!
Xia Linxing took the happy water beside him and took a sip of it generously.
He hadn't enjoyed snacks so happily in a long time.
In her previous life, she had been ill and had basically said goodbye to such junk food. In this life, upon arriving in this world, she was on the set of a TV program. In order to be on camera, Xia Linxing could only occasionally sneak in a few bites to satisfy her craving.
At the Xia family, because they have their own chef, even if they want to eat snacks and desserts, the chef can make them fresh, so they basically don't buy food from outside, let alone these junk foods that are generally recognized as having no nutritional value. Therefore, you will not see any snacks or drinks at the Xia family.
Although the snacks and desserts made by the Xia family chef taste very good...but junk food has its own unique taste that cannot be replaced!
“Knock, knock…”
There was a sudden knock on the door.
It must be the fried chicken takeout he ordered!
Xia Linxing jumped up from the sofa, holding the potato chips and ran happily towards the door, "I'm coming!"
He opened the door and reached out (to take the takeaway) to thank Yitiaolong, "Thank you for your hard work, just--"
The following words were suddenly stuck on Xia Linxing's lips after he saw who was at the door.
A tall figure blocked the doorway and descended like a dark mass, completely enveloping Xia Linxing, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"I found you."
“Pah.”
The bag of potato chips in Xia Linxing's hand fell to the ground.
