The moment I saw her.
Like a wolf lost in a desolate forest, finally finding its way home.
My mind was at ease.
Xi Chenzhou stood still, only then realizing just how panicked and helpless he had been before.
Those anxieties, worries, anger, confusion, urgency, and impatience receded like the receding tide, and the stones of worry hidden beneath the surface quietly emerged.
It turned out that he really wanted to see her.
She was smiling with her face tilted back, her eyebrows and eyes crinkling. Half of her long hair was tied up in a bun on top of her head, while the other half was casually draped over the neckline of her loose loungewear. She leaned lazily against the window, letting the bright sunlight gild her face with a thin layer of gold.
That smile was brighter and warmer than the sunshine.
"elder brother!"
She called out.
It was as if all the ice and coldness in my heart had melted away.
It's warm and cozy.
It's very comfortable.
The anger in Xi Chenzhou's heart vanished in an instant.
He lowered his eyes slightly: "It's me."
Tongsu put down her phone, jumped up, and pounced on him: "Brother, how did you get in? Why have you been so busy? Aren't you tired? Have you had a good rest?"
Xi Chenzhou spread his arms slightly. She lunged in so hard that she hugged his waist and still made him sway.
"I had the manager bring someone to open the door. What are you doing here? Why don't you go home?"
Xi Chenzhou felt a loosening around his waist, as if Tong Su had hugged him and then let go.
He saw her smile shyly, as if she only now understood what she had just done. She was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him. Her face was red as she said, "I'll give you the key so you won't have to bother anyone else in the future."
For some reason, he felt a little... when she let go of his hand.
I don't like the feeling.
Xi Chenzhou gave a faint "hmm" and then asked, "Why did you move out?"
He seemed a little unhappy?
Tongsu thought for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Brother, do you think I moved out because I didn't want to live at home? You're overthinking it!"
She dragged Xi Chenzhou to the sofa and sat down, then went to get a cup, but Xi Chenzhou stopped her: "Shoes."
Tongsu shrank her neck. The wooden floor wasn't cold, and she sometimes forgot to wear shoes for convenience.
Xi Chenzhou had just arrived, and she hadn't even thought of it before she was scolded.
She shuffled off her shoes, poured water and fetched fruit, presenting them to Xi Chenzhou like a treasure trove. She then kicked off her shoes, jumped onto the sofa, squatted down, and tilted her head to look at Xiao Chenzhou with a smile.
“We’ve already bought this house, it would be such a waste to leave it unused. You and Mom and Dad aren’t home, and I’d be so lonely living in such a big house by myself. This apartment is smaller, and I’d be more comfortable living here by myself.”
Xiao Chenzhou narrowed his eyes at her quirky appearance, said nothing, but simply picked up the water and took a small sip.
Her hair was tied in a bun, adorned with a lollipop-shaped crystal hair clip, all fluffy and loose, looking...
It feels particularly good to the touch.
He suppressed the urge to rub it and turned to look around the small apartment.
The apartment wasn't large, only about 70 or 80 square meters, but the decor was exquisite. There was warm wallpaper, gleaming wooden floors, and several paintings hanging on the walls. They weren't acquired at auction by famous artists; the brushstrokes were simple, and they were just her own paintings.
The TV wasn't on, so she obviously didn't watch it much. Her phone, tablet, and laptop were lying on the sofa, which seemed to be the things she used most often.
The only bedroom had its door half-open, through which one could vaguely see a large, soft bed with a plush toy occupying the center of it.
A warm and welcoming house.
It's clear that she feels truly at ease living here.
Xi Chenzhou pursed his lips, looking somewhat unhappy.
She was living a happy and comfortable life, as if his presence or absence was completely unimportant.
