Xie Yan's clothes were disheveled, sweat was flowing on his forehead, and he looked at Xue Qingdai with a pair of dark eyes filled with unknown emotions.
Xue Qingdai's slender white fingers were pinched on her sleeves. She was timid and the male protagonist Xie Yan was not someone who could be bullied by her.
"Come here quickly, your third brother is going crazy looking for you." Xie Yan's tone, which was as gentle as he could, still failed. He was so frightened that he ran to who knows how many places.
The family members also joined in the search, and his father and mother were all mobilized. The military district leaders also knew that his fiancée was missing.
Li Zhonghao laughed it off. He was thick-skinned and said, "Yes, little girl, you can't run around. There are so many bad guys now."
He let out a sigh of relief, and it was no big deal that Xie Yan forgot about it.
However, Xie Yan still didn't show much sympathy for such a delicate girl. He was afraid that such a delicate girl wouldn't be able to accept such a tone of voice.
"Xiao Xie, be gentle to the girl."
Xue Qingdai pouted and said, "I think you are right."
"Xie Yan, who allowed you to be so cruel to me?"
"Just speak nicely. I'm not a disobedient person."
"Where is my third brother?"
Xie Yan was so angry at her appearance that his stomach ached. He didn't eat for a whole day and just wanted to find her as soon as possible.
She appeared alone in the neighborhood near the train station, not knowing how dangerous it was here, and that there were several wanted criminals who had not been caught. Xie Yan was angry, but he didn't want to tell her too much about the bizarre and brutal murders, fearing that she would be scared.
Xie Yan: "He fainted, at Xie's house."
Xue Qingdai burst into tears almost instantly, "Take me there quickly."
Xie Yan hugged her and let Xue Qingdai wipe her tears on his clothes.
Li Zhonghao looked left and right, and realized that he had become the redundant person.
Xue Qingdai hugged Xie Yan's waist and sat on the back seat of the 28-bar bicycle. Even with her blurry vision, she discovered that Xie Yan's back was completely different from that of her third brother Xue Yongkang.
He was broad and strong. When he rode his bike, he would always look back at her and ask her if she was feeling bumpy. He rode very fast but steadily.
Xue Qingdai, who was in a panic because of her third brother's fainting, also calmed down because of Xie Yan's calm expression.
The ground in the alley is made of smoothly cut grey bricks. Everything looks old. Most of the courtyards are inhabited by several families.
There are many flower pots outside the blue-gray houses in each yard, with some green leaves still inside.
Xie Yan had a neighbor who was an old man who loved to walk his birds. There were a few unhung lark cages placed at the open gate of his yard for releasing birds. When he passed by, the clear chirping of birds seemed to be calling for the spring of the capital.
After passing the Xiangfeng grocery store, I rode for another five minutes to reach the relatively quiet Xie family.
"Get off." Xie Yan supported the bike and waited for Xue Qingdai to land safely. Then he pushed the black bicycle into the yard and leaned against the wall.
Xue Qingdai walked into the Xie family's house tremblingly and stepped over the wooden threshold. She came to the capital to break off the engagement. If she entered the Xie family's house, she might even see Xie Yan's parents.
Breaking off an engagement will become more and more troublesome.
Someone knocked on the door of Xie's house, "Xiao Xie, your young wife has been found."
"Bang, bang, bang." The wooden door was touched by the copper door nose, and the sound was a bit dull.
Aunt Liu, a neighbor next door, heard the noisy noises from next door after lunch. She knew that the Xie family was either rich or noble and was very low-key in their daily lives.
This is the first time that the Xie family is not low-key. They make a big fuss for the fiancée of the Xie family’s youngest son.
"Aunt, I found it. She is shy..." Xie Yan's Zhongshan suit was already wrinkled as it was not neatened up, and it was torn apart by Xue Qingdai who wiped her tears, making it unbearable to look at.
Xue Qingdai acted arrogantly in front of him, and would throw herself into his arms as soon as she saw outsiders.
He is a bully at home and even broke off the engagement with him!
Xie Yan patted Xue Qingdai on the back and said, "Be good, call me Aunt Liu."
This place is secluded and close to the People's Park, suitable for retirement. Living next door are relatives of Xie Songshan's comrade-in-arms.
Xue Qingdai was just at Xie Yan's chest. She looked petite, and her delicate face was left with red marks by the clothes. She followed his instructions softly, calling out, "Aunt Liu~"
Aunt Liu was wearing old clothes with some oil stains on them. Her black and white hair was combed very neatly and she was holding a dishcloth in her hand.
"Okay. Xiao Xie, the young wife your father arranged for you is here. You are too harsh on her. She is young and looks very well behaved."
Xue Qingdai nodded heavily in agreement. She looked up and met Xie Yan's obscure eyes. She still replied: "Aunt, you are right. I am very good."
Xie Yan pulled down Xue Qingdai's little hand that was on his clothes and held it tightly.
"Aunt, let's go into the house first."
Aunt Liu: "Okay, I'll fry some carrot balls and you can come get them later."
Xie Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for coming."
There are currently three people living in the spacious courtyard.
Xie Yan's elder brother Xie Yun was a professor at the Imperial University and had a dormitory on campus. He attached great importance to etiquette and morality, and he was unwilling to live with his stepmother who was younger than him.
Recently, Xie Yun's son Xie Wei wanted to bring his girlfriend to live here, but was rejected by Xie Songshan's young wife Zhang Shuying through his request.
The house is relatively quiet now.
There was a faint sound of flowing water in the courtyard.
Xue Yongkang was lying on the pearwood bed when he suddenly woke up, "Daidai! Where is my little sister? It's all my third brother's fault. I shouldn't have been so busy that I forgot the time."
When Xue Yongkang finally woke up, he was so anxious that he ran out without even putting on his shoes.
Xue Qingdai saw him from a distance and trotted over. She almost tripped and was supported by Xie Yan.
"Your third brother is fine. The doctor prescribed some medicine."
"Your little sister is fine, and she even went to see a doctor on her own."
Xie Yan even suspected that Xue Qingdai was here to bring him down, even though he had clearly told her in a nice tone before leaving that she shouldn't run around.
As a result, she wandered heartlessly in the messy alleys.
Xue Yongkang and Xue Qingdai cried together and wiped each other's tears as if they were experiencing a life-and-death separation.
Xie Yan retreated quietly.
He opened a bottle of safflower oil in his room and applied it to the painful ankle.
Thinking that Xue Qingdai had never eaten radish meatballs, he took a few eggs and went next door to exchange them for some fried radish meatballs.
Xue Qingdai quietly took the pulse of the third brother and confirmed that he was fine. It was just that he had an irregular schedule recently and got too little sleep, so he fainted due to fatigue and fright.
Fortunately, Xie Yan helped to find a doctor. If the third brother collapsed in an empty corner, given the winter in the capital, it would be hard to say whether he had been frozen.
"Little sister..."
Xue Yongkang opened and closed his mouth several times. No one in his family could control his little sister. No one had any principles. Seeing that Xie Yan took good care of his little sister and brought her back safely, he felt relieved.
This brother-in-law is okay.
"Little sister, tell me how Xie Yan brought you back."
Xue Yongkang kept silent about his younger sister Xue Qingdai sneaking out. At home, anyone who went against his younger sister was not allowed to do so. He could only restrain himself and keep a close eye on his sister and not let her go to dangerous places.
Xue Qingdai waited for a while, and the third brother spoke cautiously and gently, not minding her running out at all.
Why is Xie Yan so anxious and fierce!
Third brother is still the best. If Xie Yan had been a little gentler to her when they met just now, she would have been better towards Xie Yan.
She sneaked out once, and Xie Yan even alerted his parents to come out and look for her.
Thinking about having to face Xie Yan's parents soon, Xue Qingdai felt a headache.
Not all parents indulge her like her parents do.
"Third brother, Xie Yan is so fierce, and he scared me!"
