Chapter 563 The boy is my white moonlight (22)
"Don't avoid my question. Tell me, what do you think of your brother?" Li Ling was relentless.
She was still somewhat unwilling in her heart. If it wasn't because of Xu Shiyi that her brother suddenly became distant from her, she wouldn't believe it. But if she really said that Xu Shiyi played a leading role in this, she wouldn't believe it either. Xu Shiyi was two years younger than her and four years younger than her brother. Even if he was precocious, how much could he know about emotional matters?
"Wait until you and Zhou Qi have good news." Shiyi suddenly hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Zhou Qi will be a very good partner for you. But he has been waiting for you for so long. If you don't give him a little hope, he will be discouraged."
Li Ling didn't expect that she would suddenly give her a hug. Her warm body was closely attached to her. She pushed her away uncomfortably and said stubbornly: "I have nothing to do with Zhou Qi."
Speaking of Zhou Qi, she didn't tell him when she returned to China this time. He has always appeared by her side as an older brother, but she has never regarded him as an older brother. To her, he is more of a reliance. He always appears so timely, the shoulders he gives her are always so broad, and his arms are always so warm. He has been with her for too long, so she has forgotten to pay attention to him.
"As for you, I always feel that my brother has some feelings for you. If you don't have any thoughts about him, you'd better stay away from him as soon as possible." Li Ling's eyes fell on her brother in the shadow. This big pit was her "reward" for his indifference to her three years of hard work.
Chu's mother didn't expect that Li Ling, who suddenly became sensible, could see so far, and surprise flashed quickly in her eyes. Ying Xinxin, who was standing aside, understood something from her expression. Perhaps, this orphan girl of the Xu family was determined by the Chu family early on. She even had a bold guess that Chu Xu went abroad to study and Xu Shiyi didn't go with him, just to test Chu Xu.
"I'm going to study in Chuncheng." Shiyi didn't care how many people heard her answer in the dark, but this was a small dream hidden in the original owner's heart. A dream that the original owner herself dared not face directly.
"Very good." Li Ling reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling like a little fox who stole grapes, "You are still young now, don't follow my old path, liking someone without knowing anything. When you finish college, you will be in your early 20s, a great time, and many young men will be waiting behind you to chase you."
She has no choice now. She has a hunch that she may have fallen into the big pit of big brother Zhou Qi a long time ago.
"If only I had such great charm." Shi Yi smiled and patted her shoulder.
Li Ling looked at her simple and pure smile, and told her the bad things she had done truthfully, "Do you know why your aunt didn't let you and your brother study abroad? Do you think your aunt is not good to you? But, no. It's all my fault."
The girl's eyes were so calm, and Li Ling felt even more guilty, but it was precisely because of this that she had to confess the bad things she had done.
"Do you remember the night your mother came?" Seeing the girl nodded, she continued, "I recorded all your conversations, and then I sent the recordings to my aunt's mobile phone. Later, only my brother went abroad, and I knew it was because of me that you didn't go."
She lowered her eyes, and her thick eyelashes blocked the guilt in her eyes. This matter has been deeply hidden in her heart for three years. She once felt that she was a bad person.
The girl's warm palm clasped her palm, and Li Ling heard the other party say softly: "Hey, I thought it was something else. I never had any thoughts about going abroad."
Chu Xu's narrow eyes sank. He knew that she was so cold.
"You, forget about this matter in the future. In my heart, you will always be a good girl." Shi Yi let go of her hand.
Li Ling was finally able to let go of the heavy psychological burden. She smiled calmly and said, "We will all be better in the future." Shi Yi nodded in agreement.
The two young girls smiled at each other under the lights, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. Chu's mother and Ying Xinxin tiptoed back to the hall. Chu Xu hid himself deeper in the shadows.
In the middle of the night, the sound of raindrops hitting the window woke up Shi Yi, who was sleeping lightly. She got up barefoot to close the window, but saw a young man who was soaked and curled up under her window, motionless. His light blue pupils dilated for a moment, and he turned to look at her as he screamed.
"Chu Xu?" Shi Yi called his name tentatively, but the young man's eyes were hazy and his eyes seemed to be out of focus. She gently waved her hand in front of his eyes, but he still didn't respond. Did he sleepwalk here?
She wanted to try again, but the young man had already climbed in through the window.
The red solid wood floor was printed with wet footprints one after another, and the young man lay directly on the big bed that was still warm. Shi Yi closed the window in a daze, came to his side, and resignedly took off his wet coat for him.
It was unknown how long he had been waiting outside, but his hair was already completely soaked. She found a clean towel from the bathroom, gently wrapped it around his head, and gently wiped the wetness from his hair with her delicate white fingers.
Under the dim light, the young man had a very good sleeping posture. His eyelashes, wet by the rain, were half-stuck under his eyes, his thin lips were bright red like a rose hit by rain, his eyebrows were thick and his nose was straight, and his facial lines were smooth as if they were sculpted by a master. His peaceful sleeping posture did not reveal his usual taciturn appearance.
The young man's hair had been rolled dry by her, and the place where he had slept before had already been marked with water marks. Fortunately, the European-style bed was large enough, so Shi Yi gently moved him to the other side and covered him with a quilt.
The rain outside was getting heavier. Next to Chu Xu's room, Ying Xinxin and her daughter Li Ling were still talking.
Ying Xinxin pretended not to know that her daughter had liked Chu Xu before, but asked indirectly whether she had any relationship now. While joking with her mother, Li Ling began to miss Zhou Qi.
At this time, Zhou Qi was confronting Chu's father, his half-brother, in a luxury hotel in Europe.
Zhou Qi understood that Chu's father was able to take the position of the head of the family and expand the family business abroad, which naturally had his own skills. Over the years, he had fought with the Chu family many times, both openly and secretly, but all ended in failure. He also figured out that the grievances he and his mother had suffered had nothing to do with the next generation of the Chu family, but were the problem of Mr. Chu. He no longer planned to retaliate against the Chu family, but he still had to tell the Chu family about his existence.
