Lu Qingyan never expected that Xi Bo was living such a miserable life. He was certainly not the most miserable person in the world, but he was the one who made her heart ache the most.
“Do you know where he lives? I know our village well. I’ll take you there right now,” Lu Qingyan volunteered to lead the way.
Xi Bo said dejectedly, "I've already gone to look for him, but it seems he no longer lives here."
Lu Qingyan was dumbfounded: "What should we do then?"
"I should go back if I can't find him, but I took the last bus here, and the buses stop running tomorrow, so I can't leave."
Lu Qingyan's eyes twitched when she heard this. Now she understood. Someone clearly wanted to stay with her. His face practically screamed, "Please take me in."
She seemed to have no choice but to agree: "How about this, you come to my house first, and you can spend the New Year with us."
When Xi Bo heard this, he smiled at Lu Qingyan. He was already handsome, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into two peach blossoms, making him look like a devil.
He said, "Xin'er, thank you."
"No need to thank me, just say you're my deskmate, how could I not help you?" Lu Qingyan smiled and raised her hand to brush the snowflakes off his clothes: "How far did you walk? The snow has stopped now, but you still have snow on you."
"We didn't walk for long, it's just that their house is a little far away." Xi Bo walked over and naturally took Lu Qingyan's hand, saying, "I thought we'd be sleeping on the streets this New Year, I almost forgot you live here too. Where do you live?"
"It's not far from here. Follow me, and we'll be there in no time."
In the warm campus not far away, a middle-aged man sneezed and muttered, "Didn't Grandmaster say that Uncle was coming here? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Could he have gone to the wrong place?"
Xi Bo didn't go to the wrong place; it's just that his original destination wasn't here, but Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan's home was indeed not far from where they met; her home was a large red iron gate with two persimmon trees planted in front of it.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were also surprised to see Xi Bo, probably because they didn't expect him to look like this... a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face in shame.
"Dad, Mom, this is my classmate Xi Bo."
Xi Bo greeted them very politely: "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt."
Mrs. Xiao smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Hello, hello. Since you are Xin'er's classmate, please make yourself at home and don't feel awkward."
Mr. Xiao glanced at Lu Qingyan and asked what her family did, who her family members were, how she was doing in school, and so on.
Xi Bo answered each question in turn: "My family is in the calligraphy and painting business. There are only two people in my family, my adoptive father and I. My grades in school are pretty good. As for the other family members... my father and mother passed away in an accident when I was very young."
When Xiao's mother heard Xi Bo say that his parents had passed away long ago, she felt very sorry for him: "You are so young and your family has encountered so many things. You must have suffered a lot."
Xi Bo shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. I think I'm doing pretty well now, and I'm also very lucky to have met so many people in my life."
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "You're so easygoing. I wonder what kind of people you're with. They've taught you to talk like an old man."
Mr. Xiao said, "I think this kid is quite interesting. It's already the New Year, so you can stay at our house for now, and go back with Xin'er when school starts."
