"Okay, I won't say anything more. Don't cry."
Xu Yanfeng felt very guilty. He lowered his eyelashes, raised his hand, and gently rubbed the corners of Xia Xi's eyes with his fingertips to wipe away her tears.
He was really damned. He was clearly trying to make peace with her, but he ended up making her cry. She rarely shed tears before.
Xia Xi didn't want to cry in front of him, as she felt it was embarrassing, but she couldn't help it.
After sniffling a few times, Xia Xi gradually stopped crying and withdrew from Xu Yanfeng's arms. He didn't want to let go, but there was a coldness in her eyes. His heart trembled. He didn't dare to make her unhappy again, so he could only lower his hands obediently.
Xia Xi adjusted the hair around her ears and said slowly, "I want to calm down."
She leaned sideways to press the elevator button, and Xu Yanfeng, anxious, grabbed her arm.
"Don't make me say it a second time." Xia Xi lowered her wet eyelashes and pulled his hand away.
The elevator arrived, the door opened, and Xia Xi walked in.
Xu Yanfeng wanted to go with her, but her gaze forced him back. He had no choice but to stop outside the elevator and watch the elevator door close as the red numbers on the side kept jumping down.
He walked back to the ward dejectedly, changed out of the hospital gown he was wearing for the performance, and put on his own shirt and suit.
Xu Yanfeng left the hospital, feeling the cool breeze and feeling extremely depressed. While waiting for the driver to arrive, he called Tang Yizhou.
Tang Yizhou invited Fu Li and the others to a place for a drink. When he saw Xu Yanfeng's call, he walked to a quiet corner to answer it. He was very excited: "How is it, brother? Is Xia Xi caring about you? He holds you in his hands for fear of dropping you, and holds you in his mouth for fear of melting you. Your relationship has taken a step forward."
Hearing him laugh like he was telling a crosstalk, Xu Yanfeng couldn't help but sneer.
"Heh. Let's break up. Don't call me your friend in public anymore."
"No, what do you mean?" Tang Yizhou was stunned for a moment, then said in a more serious tone, "Won't this trick work on Xia Xi?"
Before Xu Yanfeng could answer, Teacher Tang began to analyze the situation: "You're done, Xu Er. This is a serious problem. If even the self-torture trick doesn't work, it only means that Xia Xi no longer cares about you."
Xu Yanfeng said calmly, "She discovered that the car accident was fake, and I made her cry."
Tang Yizhou: “?”
How could this be?
"Is your acting too bad, Xu Er? How did you get caught? I've already informed my cousin." Tang Yizhou found it funny, but also felt a little sympathetic towards Xu Yanfeng's situation. "Xia Xi is so angry that she's crying. What should we do?"
Xia Xi looked invulnerable, and Tang Yizhou had never seen her cry. This was a tricky situation.
"You ask me?" Xu Yanfeng really wanted to scold him.
He tried his best and finally got closer to Xia Xi, but now everything was back to the way it was before liberation, and all his efforts were in vain.
"Tsk, can you blame me for this? I just mean well." Tang Yizhou thought innocently for a while and got an idea. "How about this, I'll give you another idea. You just..."
Before Tang Yizhou could finish speaking, Xu Yanfeng hung up the phone.
I will never believe him again, he's just talking nonsense.

Xia Xi stopped a taxi at the hospital gate and told the driver to go to Lantingwan Community.
It was getting dark and the lights were coming on. Xia Xi got out of the car. The early spring evening breeze blew on her face, making her feel chilly. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and went upstairs.
It was already past dinner time, and Xia Yue heard that she hadn't eaten yet, so she cooked her a bowl of noodles with a lot of beef in it.
Xia Xi sat at the dining table, picked up a few noodles with chopsticks, blew on them, and put them into his mouth.
"Does it taste okay?" Xia Yue looked at her from the opposite side with a gentle smile.
The concern from her family made Xia Xi's nose sore. She seemed particularly emotional today. She swallowed it and said, "It's delicious."
"As long as you like it."
When she entered, Xia Yue noticed that she looked unwell and exhausted. She didn't know if it was work related, and she couldn't help, so she could only offer some comfort in other ways.
After a few seconds of silence, Xia Yue asked her softly, "Are you going back to Xu Yanfeng's place tonight?"
Xia Xi shook her head, her tone slow and low: "No, I'm staying here tonight."
After a pause, she added, "We'll all live here from now on."
No matter what the agreement is, if she doesn't want to abide by it, can Xu Yanfeng force her?
Xia Yue was stunned for a moment, then thought of a possibility. Xia Xi's expression shouldn't be due to work problems. She carefully considered her words and asked, "You and Xu Yanfeng...did you have a fight?"
Youyou came back to live occasionally, and from what she heard from the little girl, she knew that Xia Xi and Xu Yanfeng got along quite well.
She knew that the two still had feelings for each other and it would not be so easy to let go of each other.
Even to her own sister, Xia Xi couldn't quite articulate what she'd been thinking today. She blinked wearily, "It wasn't a fight, I was just a little mad at him."
He lied to her about the car accident. It makes me angry just thinking about it. What normal person would do such a thing?
Xia Yue looked at the anger between her eyebrows and her lips curled up slightly.
Xia Xi caught a glimpse of her laughing and was stunned: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yue hit the nail on the head: "Being angry with that person proves that you still care about him. If you really don't care, you will only be disappointed in him."
Xia Xi didn't want to admit it, but couldn't refute it, so he drank the soup silently.
After she finished eating, Xia Yue cleaned up the dishes and patted her on the shoulder: "Go to bed early."

Xia Xi rarely thought about work, so she went to bed early and fell asleep without even checking her phone. Naturally, she didn't know that Xu Yanfeng had sent her dozens of apology messages.
