"But the problem is that Xuanxuan still has feelings for Chen Songbai. If she says she wants a divorce today, she might regret it tomorrow," said Xia Xi.
There was no need to wait until tomorrow. When Chen Songbai said "I will never leave you even if I die", Xuanxuan was shaken.
"I know that, but just because she likes Songbai, she can't have to endure his parents' humiliation every time. You heard how rude Chen Songbai's parents were today. Xuanxuan is my flesh and blood. How can I bear to see her suffer?"
"I feel bad for her, but she has to figure this out on her own. We can't make decisions for her, nor can we force her."
The sun sets, the sky darkens, dinner is placed on the table, and Xia Xi goes to call Xia Xuan out to eat.
Across the door, Xia Xuan's voice was slightly hoarse and nasal, and it was obvious that she had been crying: "You guys eat first, I'll eat later."
Xia Xi packed out a portion of food.
After they finished eating, Xia Xi knocked on the door with her portion. Xia Xuan had calmed down considerably. She opened the door, lowered her eyes slightly, and tucked her hair behind her ear: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Xia Xi entered the room, closed the door, and placed the tray on the table by the window: "Say sorry, come and eat, I cooked the food tonight."
Xia Xuan went to the bathroom to wash her face first. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyelids were red and there were water droplets on her face, which looked abnormally white. She pulled off a towel to wipe her face, walked out and sat at the table.
Xia Xi is a good cook. Sweet and sour pork ribs is a dish that both of them like to eat. There are also stir-fried lotus root slices, stir-fried beans, braised eggplant, and cold cucumber salad, which are crisp and delicious.
Xia Xuan ate bite after bite. Xia Xi said nothing and watched over her.
Her emotions had calmed down, but for some reason, they suddenly broke down. Her tears fell into the bowl and mixed with the rice in her mouth, making it difficult for her to swallow.
Xia Xi saw it and put his hand on her back: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."
Xia Xuan shook her head and pretended to be calm, "I'm very hungry, I can eat."
Xia Xi poured her a glass of water and said softly, "Xuanxuan, I just talked to Mom. No one is forcing you to make a decision. You don't have to force yourself. You can choose a method that makes you comfortable. Although we are your family, you are grown up, not a child. We won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do."
Xia Xuan dropped her chopsticks, turned around and hugged Xia Xi, buried her face in her abdomen, and sobbed, "I know, I know you treat me well, but no matter what I choose, I won't feel comfortable."
She would not feel comfortable continuing to waste time with Chen Songbai, nor would she feel comfortable breaking up with him.
Xia Xi stroked her head, from the top to the end, one by one.
"Sister, please help me persuade Chen Songbai. I want a divorce." Xia Xuan said after a long time.
Since neither choice would bring comfort, she might as well choose the lesser of two evils. If she continued to waste time, things like today would happen again. She didn't want to disrupt the peace of her family because of her own affairs. Youyou was scared and hid away.
