“Zhizhi…”

Shi Yu took a step forward, held the two trembling arms, held the man into his arms, and gently hugged her to comfort her emotions, "I do like you very much."

Tears condensed into beads at the corners of their eyes and rolled down suddenly, and a smile suddenly appeared in the wet eyes.

She was not wrong in betting!

With his arms wrapped around his waist, Xia Chi hugged the man tighter. Shi Yu didn't push him away and let her hold him until the sobs stopped.

"Okay, Zhizhi, your eyes will hurt when you cry again." He gently pulled away his arms around his waist, held her hand and took her to the bed and sat down.

Then he stood up and left.

Xia Chi grabbed his hand in a panic and asked where he was going with his eyes?

Shi Yu understood what she meant and explained: "Get you a towel and you will be back in a while."

Because she shed a lot of tears, Shi Zhi brought a basin of warm water, wiped her face with a wet towel, and wrung it dry and applied it to her eyes. He really took care of everything.

Sometimes Xia Chi thinks he is a trouble, but Shi Yu never treats her as a trouble. After dealing with all this, it takes another half an hour unconsciously.

“Stay early.”

Shi Yu stood by the bed and said good night to her.

Xia Chi's eyes were confused.

He, don't have anything else to say?

She expressed her feelings, and Shi Yu also responded frankly, but after that, did she not express anything?

Xia Chi shouted anxiously, "Ah Yu!"

He stopped where he was, but he did not turn around.

She almost wanted to run over and block the door again, but this time she held back and just held it tightly with her hands beside the bed, "You have nothing else to tell me?"

The rest of the two people breathed in the quiet room. Shi Hui was silent for a moment and slowly opened his lips: "Then I ask you, if the incident happened again, would you make the same choice?"

"But..." Xia Chi tightened his heart, lowered his head and stared at the ground, his voice gradually became smaller, "I'm already done."

It seemed that she had already expected her answer, Shi Yu accepted it calmly. After a while of silence, he said: "Look, your answer has not changed. If things happen again, you will still leave."

Shi Yu admitted that he liked her and was still very nice to her, but Xia Chi could feel that there was something different. His eyes were very gentle, but there was a layer of emotion that she couldn't understand.

Xia Chi thought for a long time and suddenly realized that there was no passionate love in those eyes...

That night, Xia Chi was sleeping peacefully and woke up several times in a night, but in fact she didn't fall asleep at all.

In the hazy way, she seemed to hear a voice circling in her ears, "If you don't like each other, you must be together."

The male and female voices were intertwined, and she couldn't tell whether the person who spoke was from herself five years ago or the time she met five years later.

Another room.

Shi Yu finally took off the flashing smartwatch, making it unable to monitor any data.

A brown wooden cabinet was placed in a corner of the room. He opened the lock and accurately opened one of the drawers and took out a small box from it.

There was an old watch inside, with broken dials crisscrossing and the hour hand inside had stopped moving.

The service life of this watch ended five years ago, the day when Xia Chi left.

the next day.

Shi met him very early. When he passed by the guest room, he paused for a second and continued to move forward. He probably guessed that Xia Chi couldn't sleep well last night.

I started preparing breakfast, nutritious and healthy food pairings, and a glass of warm milk.

Xia Chi seemed to calculate the time, rubbed his eyes and walked down the stairs. Sure enough, there were traces of lack of sleep in the corners of his eyes.

When she looked at her secretly, she met the man's mental outlook was as usual, and Xia Chi couldn't help feeling a little disheartened.

He seemed to be unaffected.

However, when Xia Chi received the cup of milky white milk, his mood jumped instantly.

She was the one holding hands with Shiyu, she was the one hugging, she was the one holding him and handing out the warm milk with his own hands, and she was the one who Shiyu liked.

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly became wonderful.

Xia Chixuan was next to Shi Yu. She didn't like to face Shi Yu because she felt that the distance between sitting together was closer.

Shi Yu didn't care about how she arranged the seats, so she moved the plate and milk to the same direction as her.

It was quiet during meals.

After staring at the milk cup for a while, Xia Chi held the cup wall with one hand and held the bottom of the cup with the other hand. He leaned to his lips. The smooth glass cup mouth gently pressed the pink lips, took a few sips, probably making the milk stick to the corners of his mouth.

Shi Yu noticed her, pulled up two clean tissues and handed them out, "wipe your mouth."

Hearing the sound, Xia Chi turned his head and faced him, leaned forward without saying a word, and approached him.

The intention of this behavior was obvious. Shi Yu sighed slightly and squeezed a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, "Like a child."

The soft tissue was close to the lips. Xia Chi discovered that he could feel the temperature between his fingers through the tissue.

Christmas is approaching, and many businesses in the city have launched Christmas activities to make profits.

During this period, she contacted Ms. Xu several times, but most of the time it was because her younger brother missed her and always asked her when she would go back.

go back……

When Ms. Xu took her younger brother to settle abroad, she was young, so she was home for him. But Xia Chi's home was not far away, and people could appear anywhere, but their hearts could not wander and helpless.

Ms. Xu's attitude towards her returning to China to pursue love has not changed. She always said: "Recognize the reality as soon as possible and stop the loss in time."

In Ms. Xu's eyes, only money can be with her.

Many years ago, when her parents divorced, she didn't know the reason. Later, she realized that it was because her father's business failed and Ms. Xu could not bear the dull life for a long time and she was cruel to leave.

Later, Ms. Xu's second husband passed away. Ms. Xu got half of the property with her son, so she took her son to immigrate abroad. Over the years, Ms. Xu has never treated her materially and wanted to take her with her when she went abroad.

It’s not that she doesn’t love her children, but she loves herself more.

Xia Chi received the second video call from abroad, a man and a woman.

The young man has dyed short brown hair, deep and shiny amber eyes, and his handsome facial features are fully revealed in front of the camera.

That was one of the friends she met when she was in school abroad.

She only entered the campus for a year after going abroad. People abroad are different from them, including their skin color, hair color, and dressing, and Xia Chi can't find a sense of familiarity.

She is not afraid of strange environments, but every time she stays in such an environment, her heart is always empty and she wants to find something.

Until one day, I walked through the campus path and met a black-haired boy in a white shirt. He leaned against the big tree and held the book in his hand. That scene came into Xia Chi's eyes and instantly attracted all her attention.

But when the man turned around and showed a bright smile, Xia Chi couldn't help but frown.

No

It's him, not like him.

I won't show that kind of smile when I meet.

Shortly afterwards, she was invited to a Chinese party on campus.

There, she finally started making friends.

The boy was named Mu Mingyuan. He was still wearing a white shirt, but he didn't have a gentle and bookish atmosphere. He said that wearing a white shirt was more suitable for the male god on campus. He stood under a tree and read books that day just to pose for photos.

Mu Mingyuan's cheerful personality is very popular and he quickly gets along with others.

Xia Chi's outstanding appearance did not allow her to keep a low profile. They were familiar with that party.

"Xia Xia, you didn't even tell me when you returned to China." Mu Mingyuan ran to a remote place for a while ago, but he didn't contact Xia Chi when he came back. He thought she was flying to another place to perform. He only learned not long ago that she had actually returned to China quietly.

"It's not a big deal to go back to China." What's the difference between returning to China and going home? She doesn't need to report it to anyone.

Mu Mingyuan sighed in disappointment, "It's so lively here, but it's a pity that you're not here."

Xia Chi smiled, she didn't feel any regret.

"I still like the Spring Festival more." What she missed the most were the New Year's Eve she spent with her family when she was young and the two Spring Festivals she met with.

"Then you come back and spend the Spring Festival with us." Mu Mingyuan followed suit.

Xia Chi shrugged and asked again: "Where is An Lan?"

"This!" The woman who appeared in the camera squeezed Mu Mingyuan out.

An Lan is a typical oriental man with an oval face, black and straight, and obvious appearance characteristics.

When Xia Chi first went abroad, she was not in good condition, so Ms. Xu spent money to hire someone to take care of her. Among many experienced people, she chose the young An Lan.

At that time, she was too eager to get into a living life.

The facts proved that she did not make the wrong choice. Later, An Lan followed her and became her assistant in life and work. She was also a friend she had known for many years.

When she returned to China, she gave An Lan a long holiday, but she was not allowed to take the initiative to inform others of her news. She didn't know that An Lan and Mu Mingyuan appeared in the same video today.

An Lan explained, "Mu Mingyuan couldn't find you, so he found mine."

"What are you looking for me? Is there anything wrong?" Xia Chi asked casually.
