Chapter 83 Does your brother dislike me?
It was already early morning after the New Year's Eve celebration. Xu Wu wanted to have a midnight snack, so the five of them went for a barbecue again.
On the way back in the taxi, Lin Zixia was already drowsy.
Her biological clock is very fixed, and she usually doesn't go to bed after midnight. It's almost two o'clock now, and her eyelids are so tired from fighting each other that they are almost gone.
Wu You was sitting in the passenger seat, still excitedly savoring the joy of the New Year's Eve.
"That light show was so impressive, and there were even messages. I would have done one if I had known. Brother Lu..."
Wu You turned around and saw Lu Xiangye making a gesture to him to shut up. He looked over and saw Lin Zixia was already sleeping with his eyes closed.
Wu You nodded, calmed down, turned around, took out his cell phone and started chatting with Li Senmiao.
Sister Xiaoxia was so sleepy, but he was still excited!
Lin Zixia closed his eyes, his head moving up and down with the movement of the car body, and he couldn't sleep well.
Lu Xiangye sat next to her, put his arm around her head, and let her lean on his shoulder.
Lin Zixia found support, rubbed it subconsciously, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
When they reached the gate of the community, Lu Xiangye woke her up and said, "We're home, go back to sleep."
Lin Zixia opened his eyes drowsily, his mind a mess, and he didn't notice that he was leaning on Lu Xiangye's shoulder.
"Oh, okay."
After getting out of the car, she couldn't help but close her eyes, then struggled to open them.
Seeing that she was very sleepy, Lu Xiangye reached out and grabbed her collar.
Lin Zixia frowned, his eyes still half closed, and asked softly, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xiangye: "I was afraid you might hit a tree."
Lin Zixia didn't have the energy to argue with him, so she just followed Lu Xiangye obediently. She went wherever he went and even closed her eyes out of relief.
Anyway, Lu Xiangye wouldn't throw her down.
Wu You looked at Lin Zixia who was extremely sleepy and sighed, "Sister Xia, is this so hard to endure?"
Lin Zixia nodded, "Yeah."
Lu Xiangye glanced at her, still thinking of answering the question, "Go to sleep."
Carrying the person down to the apartment building, Lu Xiangye snorted and laughed, "You sleep so peacefully, aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?"
Lin Zixia: "Can you?"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows, "That's hard to say."
The two entered the elevator, the elevator door closed, and then immediately opened from the outside.
Xu Youlin stood at the elevator door and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Xia Xia."
He had just been following behind a few people, who looked like Lin Zixia, but he didn't call out to them.
Lin Zixia then raised his eyes, "Brother Yulin, you're back too."
Lu Xiangye nodded slightly at him as a greeting.
Xu Youlin walked into the elevator, and the elevator seemed to become crowded in an instant.
Lin Zixia was huddled in the corner, small as a bee. Lu Xiangye stood beside her, as if enclosing her inside.
Xu Youlin stood on the other side, clearly separated.
The more he looked at the scene, the more he felt something was wrong.
After exiting the elevator, Lu Xiangye handed her the bag he was holding. Inside was some small items she and Xu Wu had bought at the gift shop. "Go back and take a shower and go to bed."
Lin Zixia naturally reached out to take it, OK.
After entering the house, Lin Zixia yawned and said to Xu Youlin, "Brother Youlin, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to wash up and go to bed first."
"etc."
As soon as she walked out, Xu Youlin stopped her and looked back at him, "What's wrong?"
Xu Youlin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you familiar with the boy next door?"
Lin Zixia's thinking was a little slow now. She nodded seriously, "Yeah."
Yes, I am quite familiar with it.
Seeing that Xu Youlin didn't continue talking, she tiptoed to the bathroom in her slippers.
Xu Youlin stood there, the scene he had just seen flashing through his mind. In the community, Lu Xiangye seemed to be hugging Lin Zixia, and the two were very close.
Alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind.
Are pigs starting to eat your cabbage?
Damn!
He must keep an eye on his well-behaved and cute sister!
-
After New Year’s Day, I began to prepare intensively for the final exams.
Lin Zixia no longer walked home after school. Every day after school, Xu Youlin would drive his uncle's car to pick her up.
The school gate was jammed with traffic and cars could hardly move forward.
Lin Zixia sat in the passenger seat, holding his schoolbag, and said politely, "Brother Yulin, I'd better walk by myself after school in the future. There's no need to go through so much trouble to pick me up."
By the time the vehicles at the school gate had been evacuated, she would be able to walk home.
Xu Youlin rested his slender fingers on the steering wheel, tapping them lightly out of boredom. "I have nothing to do anyway. It's so cold, aren't you freezing?"
"I'll practice my driving skills while I'm at it."
Lin Zixia moved his lips and said, "Okay."
Five or six o'clock is the rush hour for getting off work, and I was stuck in traffic all the way home at half past six.
Ye Yinghui reheated the food and turned to ask Xu Youlin, "Why are you so late today? Didn't you drive to pick up Xiaoxia?"
Xu Youlin bent over and washed his hands. "There's a traffic jam. Let's change the dinner time to 6:30 from now on."
Ye Yinghui nodded and agreed.
Since Xu Youlin returned home for the holidays, he has been sleeping until the sun is shining on his butt every day. He is either playing games in the house or having fun outside with his classmates.
I finally agreed to pick up my sister after school, which was something I did in my favor. As long as he doesn't give up halfway, I'm willing to change the dinner time to 7 o'clock.
At the dinner table, Ye Yinghui picked up a piece of meat for Lin Zixia and asked gently, "Xiaoxia, the final exam is coming soon, right?"
Lin Zixia nodded, "Yes, the exam will start next Monday."
Ye Yinghui: "Just focus on your studies recently. If you need anything, ask your brother for help. He's free anyway."
Xu Youlin shrugged. He had no status in this family anyway and was not welcome.
After dinner, Lin Zixia went back to her room to do her homework. She had been reviewing a lot lately, and on her desk was a collection of her math problems, which she had marked with a marker. She could finish the final problem if she had enough time, but she still didn't have enough time during the exam.
She sent a message to Lu Xiangye, wanting to discuss with him whether there was any simpler method and to refer to his ideas.
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she ran into Xu Youlin who was about to go downstairs to throw away the garbage.
"where did you go?"
Lin Zixia held the notebook and whispered, "Go next door and discuss math problems with Lu Xiangye."
Xu Youlin's eyes fell on the notebook in her arms, and the radar in his mind instantly turned on, "What math problem needs to be discussed next door?
"Show it to me."
Lin Zixia blinked, handed the notebook to him obediently, and pointed out the big questions she had circled.
Xu Youlin frowned and looked over. "Isn't your solution already written at the back? It's correct."
Lin Zixia: "I want to know if there is an easier way to save time."
Xu Youlin stretched out his hand.
Lin Zixia looked confused.
"Pen."
"oh."
Lin Zixia handed him the pen. Xu Youlin walked towards her room while looking at the question. "I'll explain it to you."
Lin Zixia had no choice but to follow him back to the bedroom.
After all, Xu Youlin had studied for three more years than her and also studied engineering in college, so solving the questions of a high school freshman was no problem at all.
But Lin Zixia discovered a problem. Although Xu Youlin could do it, he could only do it and not talk about it.
There was no way to guide her thinking like Lu Xiangye did and let her think for herself.
When he finished explaining the third question, Lin Zixia immediately curled his lips and said, "Thank you, Brother Yulin, I understand now!"
Xu Youlin raised his eyebrows and put down his pen. "Do you really understand?"
"Yeah, yeah." Lin Zixia nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Xu Youlin stood up contentedly and said, "Then continue studying. I won't disturb you anymore."
As soon as he walked out of Lin Zixia's room, the doorbell rang.
He took a step with his long legs and walked slowly to the door. When he opened the door, he saw that the guy standing at the door was the guy from the opposite door.
Lu Xiangye didn't expect that it was Xu Youlin who opened the door. He nodded slightly and said, "Grandma made some persimmon cakes and asked me to bring them to Aunt Hui."
Xu Youlin stretched out his hand directly, "Thank you, give it to me."
Lu Xiangye frowned slightly and handed the persimmon cake in his hand to him, "Is Lin Xiaoxia here? She said she wanted to talk to me about a problem, but she hasn't come yet."
Xu Youlin looked at the boy in front of him. He was about the same height as him, with a cold temperament and a cool look.
This face is the most attractive to girls.
Xu Youlin looked at him indifferently, "Don't bother, I've already told her."
"Lu Xiangye?"
Hearing the sound, Lin Zixia came out of the room. She looked at Lu Xiangye and then at Xu Youlin. The two were standing at the door. What was going on?
Xu Youlin raised the corners of his eyes slightly, with a wicked smile on his face, "Tell Grandma Lu to thank us for us. It's cold in the hallway, so let's go back quickly."
After saying that, he smiled and closed the door.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Zixia's eyes.
Xu Youlin turned and looked at her, "It's nothing, go back to study."
"oh."
Lin Zixia returned to her room and picked up her phone, only to find that Lu Xiangye had just sent her a message.
【Lin Xiaoxia, where are you? 】
Disappeared again?
Lin Zixia tapped his finger on the screen and explained seriously, "I was just about to go out when I ran into my brother. He told me."
[But I can’t explain it as well as you do. I’ll ask you again at school tomorrow.]
For some reason, she had a feeling that Xu Youlin didn't like her going to see Lu Xiangye.
Lu Xiangye, who was still standing at the door, looked at the latest message with a slight smile on his face.
He glanced at the closed door, leaned lazily against the wall, and typed with his eyes downcast.
[Why do I feel that your brother doesn't like me very much? ]
Lin Zixia: [My brother is just like that, it’s not that he doesn’t like you]
【I don’t dislike you】
Lu Xiangye looked at the last sentence with a smile in his eyes. He could even imagine the slightly rising tone of the little girl's voice when she said this.
What about you?
He subconsciously typed a few words, paused before pressing the send button, realized that it was inappropriate and deleted it.
[It’s okay if you don’t like me, maybe I didn’t do something well]
The message came back quickly.
You are not bad, you are good.
Lu Xiangye stared at the message for a long time, then raised his head and looked at the warm yellow light above the corridor. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and a smile spread in his eyes.
