"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Xu Yanfeng glanced at his watch casually. It was not yet ten o'clock, which was still very early for an adult.
"Take the two children to the playground and return to South City at 4 pm."
Xu Yanfeng nodded and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, he realized that the person behind him didn't react at all. He paused and looked back at her: "Aren't you going to see me off?"
Xia Xi didn't understand what was so good about this gift, but she still said "Oh" and quickened her pace to catch up with him.
When they were about to reach the door, Xu Yanfeng grabbed her wrist. Her heart skipped a beat and she forgot to struggle. She raised her eyes and met Xu Yanfeng's deep eyes. She felt uncomfortable and looked away at the bedroom door.
What if Youyou suddenly came out and saw them pulling and tugging? It would be inappropriate. Xia Xi reminded him, "Let go."
Xu Yanfeng said abruptly: "How can I change it if you don't tell me what's wrong?"
Xia Xi's expression froze for a moment, her heart racing as it tested its limits, pounding without regard for her life or death. Xu Yanfeng's words were a response to the lies she had just casually told.
——When I was pursuing you, it was because I liked you, and I was sincere in being with you. But later I found that we were not suitable for each other, and I didn’t like you as much anymore.
——How can I change it if you don’t tell me what’s inappropriate?
Xia Xi's nose suddenly became sore. She pushed him away again and again, but why did he keep coming closer? Where was her pride and self-esteem? Had he thrown them away?
Xu Yanfeng stared at her for a long while. Seeing that she was silent, he couldn't help but compare her with her past self: "Xia Xi, what's wrong with you? You always act dumb. Weren't you very talkative before?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. I've told you many times, people change."
"Yeah, I'll change too."
Xia Xi was stunned. What he said was a very ordinary sentence, but she heard another meaning - you said we are not suitable, you don’t like me very much anymore, I can change for you, I will change.
She didn't know if her understanding was correct, nor did she dare to verify it. She only knew that if he didn't leave, she would cry.
Xia Xi raised the hand that was not being held, pushed his arm, controlled her voice, and said lightly without revealing her true emotions: "Go out, I want to sleep."
"Your way of changing the subject... is really awkward." Xu Yanfeng raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if smiling, "You always say you're tired and want to sleep. It's a universal excuse, right? I understand."
“…”
Xia Xi's nasal soreness and hot eyes felt less severe, and she wasn't as sad anymore.
Xu Yanfeng tugged at her wrist, and she was caught off guard and took a step forward, being hugged by him. He lowered his head, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and said in a very low voice: "After saying so much, I just want to ask one thing, would you consider going back to me?"
Xia Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the feeling that had just faded away surged up again, so violently that her nose felt sore, and her eyes could no longer hold back her tears, and one of them fell out.
She didn't want to be discovered, so she wiped it off quickly.
"You advised me to let go, but I didn't want to listen." Xu Yanfeng slowly raised his head, caressed her face with the palm of his hand, and looked into her eyes. "Just like when I advised you not to pursue me, I advised you many times, but you didn't listen."
