explain
Xu Xi's mind was already swirling with questions, and now seeing this scene, it was even more turbulent. It was like an earthquake after a storm, shaking her heart to pieces.
She looked at Chen Shuning and could sense she was feeling a bit down, but what could she say? She wanted to know what the relationship between Chen Shuning and that girl was, but it seemed she wasn't in a position to ask. She wasn't good at socializing, so she couldn't say anything to comfort Chen Shuning. Besides, she was feeling particularly confused and her mood wasn't great either.
Xu Xi moved and almost knocked over the chair next to her. She straightened the chair in a panic, then spoke in a daze.
"Shuning, are you okay?"
Chen Shuning looked up and forced a smile. "Yeah. I'm fine."
"..." Then, what else could she say? If she took the initiative to ask, that would be someone else's privacy and a bit impolite. And if she really asked, would Chen Shuning be embarrassed because of this matter?
Xu Xi was conflicted and hesitant. She had decided to express her feelings in the last second, but in the next second, she felt that the "tacit understanding" between the two of them seemed to be empty, and was suddenly brought back to reality.
They still knew too little about each other. She didn't know what kind of person Chen Shuning was. Pursuing her might not be as simple as she thought, or even end here. She didn't want to think about it, but after seeing the scene just now, anyone would think so.
Maybe it would be better to pretend nothing happened.
Xu Xixin suddenly felt very confused, but she finally managed to hold it in. She could only smile politely and said to Chen Shuning, "Well, come over and have breakfast first."
Chen Shuning looked a little at a loss. She looked down at the things in her hand with a somewhat annoyed expression. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. She put the things in her hand on the sofa and walked to the dining table and sat down.
Xu Xi took a sandwich and nibbled on it silently. After taking a small bite, she suddenly remembered that she had an appointment with the real estate agent to view a house, which was a good excuse to leave. Chen Shuning might also need some private time to deal with his own affairs.
She began to eat with big mouthfuls, praising Chen Shuning's cooking skills while eating, and explained that she was going to see a house in a while, so she would leave after finishing the meal.
Chen Shuning sat across from her at the dining table and just nodded quietly, responding to her with "hmm" and "okay" from time to time.
After Xu Xi finished eating, she grabbed her phone, grabbed her car keys, and said goodbye to Chen Shuning. From the time they had breakfast until she was about to leave, everything was unusually calm, as if the girl had never been there. She glanced at the jasmine flowers on the balcony, turned to Chen Shuning, and said:
"No need to send me down, I can go downstairs by myself. Thank you for breakfast today."
Chen Shuning didn't say anything. Xu Xi walked out, pressed the elevator button, and finally breathed a sigh of relief once she got inside. Her mind was still full of the image of that girl and Chen Shuning. It seemed like she needed some quiet time.
At this time, the elevator door was about to close, and suddenly a hand blocked the elevator door.
Xu Xi blinked, thinking it was a resident on the same floor, just about to take the elevator. However, when she saw the person blocking the elevator door, she was a little shocked. It was Chen Shuning.
What is she doing out here? Is there something that requires her to go downstairs?
Xu Xi said: "Are you going out?"
Chen Shuning stepped into the elevator. "No, I'll take you down."
"No need to bother."
Chen Shuning said, "I parked your car in the underground garage last night. I'll take you down."
That's true. If Chen Shuning didn't go down with her, it would take her half a day to find a car. Xu Xi nodded and agreed:
"good."
The elevator door closed and the elevator fell into silence in an instant. A sense of distance that had never existed before suddenly emerged at this moment.
The two-minute elevator ride felt like an eternity to Xu Xi.
The elevator door opened again, Xu Xi walked out, and Chen Shuning followed her out. The two walked one in front and the other behind. Xu Xi was walking in front. She had just taken two steps when she heard Chen Shuning calling her from behind.
"Xu Xi." Chen Shuning's voice was very soft. When Xu Xi turned around, she didn't speak directly, but was silent for a few seconds, as if she was brewing something.
Xu Xi: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shuning raised his eyes and suddenly told her, "That person just now was my sister, my biological sister. Her name is Chen Shuyao."
Is Chen Shuning... explaining?
Xu Xi was stunned in place, looking at Chen Shuning in surprise. Before she could react, she realized why Chen Shuning wanted to explain this to her, Chen Shuning said, "I don't want you to have any misunderstandings about what happened just now."
