Xia Wan did not take any further action, but Jiang Yushi was panicked for a moment.
He immediately let go of the hand that was holding Xia Wan, and took several steps back, his steps even seeming a little unsteady.
Xie Yan came over at some point. He bent down to pick up the discarded high-heeled shoe on the ground, then walked to Xia Wan and squatted down.
The slender, strong, and bony hands gently grasped her ankles, and the voice was rare and gentle: "Lift your feet."
Xie Yan helped Xia Wan put on her shoes, then stood up, but he didn't know whether he intended or not, he put his shoulder in front of her, looked at Jiang Yu and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No." Jiang Yushi immediately denied, saying: "I just feel a little stuffy here, I...I'm going downstairs to get some fresh air."
After Jiang Yushi finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Song Zhili also came over, holding a tissue in his hand. He took Xia Wan's hand and carefully wiped off the cream on her fingertips. He said, "Okay, stop messing around with Wei Chi."
"What do you mean by making trouble with me?" Wei Chiyan immediately said dissatisfiedly, but when his eyes met Xia Wan's, he suddenly looked away awkwardly, muttering: "So weak."
Lingling was also worried about Xia Wan, afraid that she would fall, so she shook her head and said seriously: "No more, no more."
Xia Wan walked over, stretched out her hand and pinched Lingling's face, and said, "Then let's go eat cake, okay?"
Lingling nodded and smiled happily.
The time of companionship is always short, and illusory dreams also need to return to reality.
As if she realized that Xia Wan was leaving, Lingling didn't cry or make a fuss, but just looked at her quietly with her eyes.
Xia Wan asked her: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Lingling nodded and asked softly: "Mom, will you come to see me again?"
Xia Wan was stunned.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
She just wanted to make Lingling happy, but she never thought about whether giving her hope and then being disappointed was more cruel than never getting it at all.
Seeing that Xia Wan didn't answer, Lingling asked again: "You are not my mother, right?"
At this moment, Xia Wan didn't know how to answer.
Facing the child's clear eyes, she didn't want to lie, but she couldn't bear to tell the truth.
Xie Ni asked for her: "Lingling, how did you know?"
Lingling reached out and touched Xia Wan's ear and said, "My mother has a red lump here, but you don't. Dad said that it is the same thing as mine and my mother, and it is a gift from my mother for me."
The red lump refers to a small birthmark.
The little girl couldn't help crying, but she tried to smile at Xia Wan and said, "Thank you for being my mother for a day."
Xia Wan couldn't hold back either, she cried even harder than Lingling.
Song Zhili looked at her with helplessness and was responsible for handing her tissues.
*
On the way back, Xia Wan was listless, or perhaps a little worried.
The car window was half open and the wind blew in from outside. It was almost dark and it was the coldest time of the year in the city.
Xia Wan stared out the window in a daze, seemingly unaffected, still thinking about her own things.
Song Zhili, who was sitting next to Xia Wan, glanced at her, took off his coat and gently covered her legs.
Only then did Xia Wan wake up from her own world. She looked at Song Zhili and said "thank you".
Xie Yan also turned around from the front row to look at her and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you're in a bad mood."
"Nothing, I just feel sorry for Lingling. She's only a few years old, but I didn't expect her to know everything." Xia Wan sighed again and said, "Yuanyuan is the same, but fortunately Yuanyuan met your sister in the end, she's very lucky. Isn't that right, Jiang Yushi?"
Jiang Yushi, who was sitting in the back row, was suddenly called out, just like a student who was absent-minded in class and was called out by the teacher. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"
Xia Wan could only repeat what she had just said helplessly.
Jiang Yushi immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yuanyuan's situation in the welfare home was very bad before. We all thought that she would not be able to return to normal social life for several years. However, we did not expect that she would be able to fully integrate into society after just a few months with Sister Xie. Love can indeed heal everything."
Song Zhili also comforted Xia Wan: "Actually Lingling is already very lucky. She has not experienced as much pain as Yuanyuan, and she has a father who loves her enough. Even though she lost her mother, she is still a child who is loved by everyone. She will still grow up well."
What they said made Xia Wan feel that it made sense.
Song Zhili then asked: "Do you like girls very much?"
"Yes." Xia Wan nodded, and said with a bit of fantasy in her eyes: "I really want to have a daughter in the future, and take care of her like a real-life doll every day."
Xie Ren suddenly replied: "What a coincidence, I like my daughter too."
Su Qi's emphasis shifted slightly, saying: "Doll? That does sound good. A daughter is better than a son. I like daughters, too."
And in the future, his daughter can read girls' comics with him, which sounds even better.
"puff--"
Wei Chishi couldn't help but laugh out loud, unable to understand and even asked with a hint of ridicule: "You guys are a bunch of singles, you don't even have a girlfriend and you're talking about raising a daughter? Isn't it a bit too early? Hahahaha!"
Then he received four people's eye attacks at the same time, and after knowing that he would definitely lose in a 1V5 situation, he shut up honestly.
When Wei Chiyan looked at Jiang Yu beside him, he suddenly felt something strange.
That's not right. From the time he left until now, Jiang Yushi has not said a word except for saying two sentences when he was asked about Yuanyuan just now.
He is also very strange.
But Wei Chiyan quickly thought of a reasonable explanation -
Jiang Yushi must have felt sympathy for Lingling. After all, he had been a volunteer at the welfare home for so long and he really liked children.
In fact, Jiang Yushi was still thinking about the hug from before, but it was more than just that hug.
And the previous dance, those memories that he had forced himself to forget, now kept repeating in his mind, reminding him of what happened.
If that were all, Jiang Yushi could still tell himself that it was because having physical contact with a boy was weird, so he felt embarrassed and didn't want to think about it.
However, that time in the supermarket, he met Xia Wan, and she fell into his arms, giving him the same feeling.
Today, that strange feeling happened again. Some unbelievable guess seemed to be verified, making him feel more and more upset.
Because everything absurdly points to the same answer -
The heart beats because of love.
But how is this possible?
Jiang Yushi immediately overturned his own judgment. How could he be attracted to a boy and a girl at the same time? This was ridiculous.
Could it be that...
He just likes that face? It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman?
After realizing this, Jiang Yushi's expression became even more rigid.
That night, Jiang Yushi knocked on Wei Chiyan's door and said seriously, "I want to chat with you."
Wei Chiyan, who was exhausted after playing all day, said: "?"
So Wei Chiyan asked: "Can you find someone else to go? I want to sleep."
Jiang Yushi looked at Wei Chiyan seriously and said, "No, I can only find you."
"Why?" Wei Chiyan still didn't understand.
Jiang Yushi boasted calmly, saying, "Because I think you are the most sincere and smart among all the people, and you are the only one I can trust the most."
In fact, Jiang Yushi just thought that if he asked other people, they might react. Only Wei Chiyan would only listen to the surface meaning and would definitely not think too much about it.
Wei Chiyan: “……?”
Is he the smartest? He doesn't believe that, but he is sincere.
So Wei Chiyan let go of the door handle and let Jiang Yushi in, saying, "Just chat for five minutes, I need to go to sleep."
Jiang Yushi nodded in agreement.
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Wei Chiyan yawned.
Jiang Yushi asked seriously: "What if... I mean what if, Tuesday falls in love with Monday."
Wei Chiyan's eyes widened and he said, "What did you say? You were not sent by Xie Yan, were you? His cats are sterilized, and you are still targeting our Zhou Yi? This won't do! This is absolutely not possible! I will not let my precious daughter marry an incomplete cat!"
Jiang Yushi felt a headache, but still said: "No, I was just giving an example. It has nothing to do with Monday and Tuesday."
Only then did Wei Chiyan relax his vigilance.
Jiang Yushi continued: "Then one day another cat appeared, also with a silver gradient, and looked almost exactly like Monday, so we temporarily called it Wednesday. Then Tuesday also liked Wednesday, and found out that Wednesday was a male cat. Do you think there is something wrong with Tuesday again?"
Wei Chiyan was confused by this complicated relationship and asked, "So what does Tuesday like now, Monday or Wednesday?"
Jiang Yushi organized his words: "I don't really like her, but maybe I just have a little crush on her, because Zhou Er may like that face, do you understand?"
"I understand." Wei Chiyan sneered and said, "What a scumbag. He eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. Zhou Er is really not a good person."
Jiang Yushi: "..."
Jiang Yushi had some difficulty defending Zhou Er...oh no, defending himself.
He said: "But Tuesday may not understand why, and may not like that person... that cat, just like that face, that's all, is it considered a scumbag?"
"How is this not considered a scumbag?" Wei Chiyan looked at him, obviously so angry that he was no longer sleepy, and taught him: "Don't think about cats, you will know if you put yourself in a human's shoes. If a man likes a woman and another man at the same time, it doesn't matter if he likes their faces or their people. As long as he likes both of them at the same time, what else can he be but a scumbag?"
Jiang Yushi: "..."
Why is it coming back to people again?
And, the scumbag is actually himself???
But at this point, Wei Chiyan grinned again and said, "Xie Ren also told me before that he liked Xia Wan's face. He was worried that Xia Mu's face would be injured. If Tuesday likes our Monday, then it's like a cat follows its master. They are the same."
Jiang Yushi was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that Xie dislikes Xia Wan's face?"
"Yes." Wei Chiyan nodded without hesitation and said, "But why are you asking this?"
"Nothing." Jiang Yushi stood up and said, "Go to bed quickly. It's getting late. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Yushi said this and walked towards the door.
"etc!"
Wei Chiyan suddenly stopped him and asked, "What you just said about liking or not liking, could it be true?"
Jiang Yushi was slightly shocked, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened. Could it be that Wei Chiyan also understood what he was hinting at?
Wei Chiyan continued to ask: "Swear to me that Tuesday doesn't like our Monday? It's absolutely impossible."
Jiang Yushi: "..."
He knew he was overthinking.
*
Jiang Yushi left Wei Chiyan's room, walked back and forth in the hotel corridor several times, and couldn't help but knock on Xie's door.
When Xie Ren saw that it was Jiang Yu standing at the door, he asked in surprise, "What happened at this hour?"
Jiang Yushi still brought out the words he had just used to deal with Wei Chiyan: "Nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."
Xie Ren didn't think he was a suitable person to chat with, so he realized that Jiang Yushi must have something to say to him, so he pretended not to guess and let him in and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Yushi sat on the sofa in Xie Yan's room and said, "I just had a chat with Wei Chi, and he said that no matter what, he would not let Tuesday and Monday be together."
Xie Ni said with a fake smile: "Then let him return the things he took from Tuesday."
Jiang Yushi: "..."
This doesn't seem to be a very good topic.
So Jiang Yushi immediately changed the subject and said, "Today Xia Mu was wearing women's clothes, and she looked exactly like Xia Wan. I couldn't recognize her."
After hearing Xia Wan's name, Xie's disgusted gaze stayed on Jiang Yushi for a few seconds before he replied, "Dragon-Phoenix twins, isn't it normal for them to be very similar?"
"Yeah, that's normal." Jiang Yushi swallowed and continued to pretend nothing had happened: "I just heard from Wei Chiyan that you seemed to like Xia Wan's face. Do you feel the same way when you see Xia Mu?"
"Yeah, I like it." Xie replied with disdain, but then asked with an expression that seemed to not understand: "But what feeling are you talking about?"
Jiang Yushi mustered up his courage and said, "I just think she's very beautiful, very delicate, and stunning."
At the same time, he prayed silently in his heart, thank you and don't think too much.
Xie Yan replied naturally: "Yes, you also said the same face. There is no difference between Xia Mu in women's clothing and Xia Wan. I think Xia Wan is beautiful, so naturally I think he is beautiful today too."
After receiving Xie's affirmative answer, Jiang Yushi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but continue to ask: "You said you like her face, what kind of like do you mean?"
"Isn't it normal to appreciate beautiful things?" After Xie Yan finished answering, he looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "Isn't that what you like?"
Jiang Yushi was stunned, as if he had not expected that Xie Yan had seen through his thoughts.
After a few seconds of silence.
Jiang Yushi heard himself answering, "Yes, it must be this kind of liking, otherwise what else could it be."
But for some reason, he always felt that Xie Ren was lying.
Impossible, Xie Hate had no reason to lie, he must have been overthinking it.
*
During the Chinese New Year, a busy supermarket.
Jiang Yushi put all the things he had bought in the first batch in the car and asked the driver to take them home first. He then went back to the supermarket and prepared to buy some more junk food that his mother hated the most, so that he could stock up on New Year's goods.
However, before he reached the snack shelf he wanted to go to, he saw a familiar profile flash by.
It’s Xia Mu...Oh no, that’s Xia Wan.
She was wearing a pink floral dress, a pink cardigan, and a big pink bow.
The bow was indeed a bit exaggerated, like something only a child would like, but it looked particularly adorable on her head.
However, at the moment when Jiang Yushi was distracted, Xia Wan was nowhere to be seen.
He didn't know why he followed her, he wanted to find Xia Wan, or at least pretend to meet her by chance and say hello.
Then Jiang Yushi saw her standing on a bench, reaching out with some difficulty to get the fruit wine on the top shelf, which looked very strenuous.
The bench she was standing on suddenly shook, and the girl standing on it seemed like she would fall to the ground in the next second.
Jiang Yushi immediately ran over and reached out to catch Xia Wan.
Xia Wan fell into his arms, his arms were around her waist, and she was holding his arms tightly because of nervousness, seeking a sense of security.
Everything in the dream was still developing according to reality. Xia's father called and urged Xia Wan to hurry over.
But Xia Wan didn't know what to do for a while because of her injured foot.
Then Jiang Yushi hugged Xia Wan from behind and put her into the shopping cart.
But Xia Wan didn't seem happy.
Xia Wan turned around from the shopping cart, looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and asked: "Jiang Yushi, are you stupid?"
Jiang Yushi was stunned and asked at a loss: "What's wrong?"
Xia Wan waved at him and said, "Come closer."
He listened to her instructions and bent down to look at her.
The next second, Xia Wan reached out and grabbed his neck, and the distance between them was closest.
Because her lips were already pressed against his.
It was soft and warm to the touch, and seemed to have the sweet aroma of the peach wine she had.
Her voice was also very sweet and soft, and she said vaguely: "Jiang Yushi, I like you."
This dream is too real.
Jiang Yushi heard his own heartbeat, just as nervous as every time he held her in his arms.
However, at this moment, he heard an unbelievable voice behind him -
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yushi turned around and saw another Xia Wan standing not far away.
She was wearing a white dress, looked at him angrily, and asked: "Who do you like?"
No, that’s not Xia Wan, that’s Xia Mu.
In an instant, Jiang Yushi woke up from his dream.
The moonlight shone into the room, and he felt his body become a little stiff, covered in cold sweat, his face was extremely red, and he even had a dry mouth.
It's ridiculous, this dream is really ridiculous.
Jiang Yushi couldn't fall asleep, so he turned on the light and sat up on the bed.
Being alone in the quiet space, Jiang Yushi couldn't help but think about the dream he just had, so he turned on the TV, hoping to find something to divert his attention.
The first channel I turned on was playing the TV series "My Fair Princess".
In the picture, He Shuhuan was walking alone on the road, looking very confused and extremely helpless.
The voice-over is his inner monologue.
"I'm not the only man in the world who is attracted to two women."
Jiang Yushi held up the remote control expressionlessly and turned off the TV without hesitation.
The author has something to say:
In fact, that's the point when I wrote about Xiao Jiang. No matter you are a boy or a girl, I only like you. Even if I don't know the truth, I will be moved by you over and over again, and only by you.
I wrote this because I wanted to write about the fun of people. Their sincerity is the most precious treasure, but how can they prove it? I think this point is more interesting.
Xiao Song's words are the selfishness of a gentle and fair person. He can use his most important self-esteem as a bargaining chip to gain her care and even sympathy.
Wei Chi, I originally wanted to write that a boy's growth begins with loss, but now I feel a little reluctant, so I'll talk about it later.
There must be only one male protagonist who can write doi in the extra story
