837 Returning late to see the present (32) _1
A warm and soft touch, like the softest feather, brushed across his lips.
For a moment, Goldy’s breathing stopped. The hands in front of her could not help but clench the corners of her clothes.
She closed her eyes tightly and didn’t dare to open them, suspecting that she was dreaming.
Brother Xu Chi, what is he doing!
After Xu Chi kissed her, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, “Happy New Year, today.
She straightened her body and turned around, only to bump into Wei Xi, who was standing at the top of the stairs.
The little girl had eaten too many snacks at night and wanted to drink some water because she was thirsty. She really did not expect to see such an explosive scene.
Brother Xu Chi was actually kissing sister Jinjin.
Xu Chi didn’t show any nervousness or panic when he was caught doing something bad. Instead, he put his index finger to his lips and made a silent ” shush ” before waving his hand to signal her to go back.
Wei Xi reacted and nodded its head in a panic. It turned around and fled in a panic.
It was as if he was the one doing bad things.
When she returned to her room, her face was already red from embarrassment. She clenched her hands tightly in excitement, wishing that she could immediately run over and shake her arms to wake up bu Yu who had already fallen asleep.
However, when she thought of brother Xu Chi’s shushing action just now, she dismissed the idea.
The feeling of eating a melon alone was really uncomfortable.
Wait, what was I planning to do when I came down?
——
Xu Chi turned his head and glanced at the little girl on the sofa. His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, as if he had taken revenge on her for all the anger he had suffered.
His thin lips curled up slowly and silently as he strolled upstairs.
Hearing the sound of footsteps that were getting further and further away, Goldy took a slow breath. First, it squinted its eyes to look at the stairs to make sure that he had really left. Then, it gasped for breath.
He collapsed on the sofa, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat. He slowly opened his clenched fists, and there were four obvious nail marks on his palms.
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with confusion as she raised her hand to touch her lips.
His eyelashes drooped, and he looked thoughtful.
Mo shenbai had already retired, and the mo family’s human relations, like the company, fell on Xu Chi.
They had been busy all day on the first day of the new year, but the others were free and at ease, either eating melon seeds, gossiping, or playing cards.
Goldy acted as if it didn’t know anything and still called him brother Xu Chi. When they looked at each other, there wasn’t any flicker in their eyes, and their attitude was open.
In the afternoon, Xu Jialu and su lanxu came over with their two sons.
Xu Xingzhi greeted the elders in a well-mannered manner, but Xu qianfan looked awkward and reluctant.
He didn’t want to come over, but his parents dragged him over.
Goldy knew that he had found an excuse to go out for a walk when they were chatting because he had seen her embarrassed.
It had snowed the entire night before, and the entire mo residence was covered in snow, giving it a unique flavor.
Bu Yu and Wei Xi were afraid of the cold, so they didn’t go with her. She walked into The World of Ice and snow alone with a red scarf and black boots.
Most of the scenery in the mo residence was covered in snow, but a few plum trees stood proudly in the snow. Two of the branches had even bloomed with bright plum blossoms, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Some of the branches were almost broken by the snow. She walked up and gently brushed away the snow with her hands, revealing the flowers that had not yet bloomed.
After a while, a tall figure appeared beside her and reached out to help her brush away the snow that she couldn’t reach.
“Brother Xu Chi!” Her crisp voice was like a silver bell in the cold wind.
Xu Chi tilted his head and looked into her eyes. aren’t you afraid of falling again in such heavy snow? ”
“I won’t. I’m wearing non-slip shoes today.” She lifted her leg, and the White furballs hanging on the sides of her snow boots swayed with her. It was extremely cute.
Xu Chi’s thin lips curled up slightly. you can avoid it for now, but you can’t avoid it forever. You’ll have to make it clear sooner or later.
Goldy’s eyes flickered. It turned its head and said, ” “Qianfan is still young, he might just be doing it on a whim. Wait for a few days to rile up.”
“What if he didn’t do it on a whim?” Xu Chi interrupted her. His eyes were cold and his voice was stern.”Goldy, if you can’t give him a response, you should have cut off his thoughts earlier.”
Goldy was silent and didn’t speak.
Xu Chi saw that she didn’t say anything and didn’t force her. He folded a few plum flowers and handed them to her.
Goldy’s eyes turned red and it looked up at him. why did you fold it for me? ”
“You like it,” he replied with three words.
Goldy’s heart skipped a beat, but she still didn’t take it. will you give me anything I like? ”
Xu Chi nodded without any hesitation. yes.
This answer didn’t make Goldy happy. Instead, it felt even more depressed. There was even a moment when it wanted to blurt out, ” then why did you reject my confession in the first place? ”
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and took the plum blossom he handed over. Her red lips opened slightly. thank you, brother Xu Chi, but I don’t think you should be so good to me. If my future sister-in-law finds out in the future, she’ll be jealous.
Xu Chi’s eyes suddenly darkened and he said in a deep voice, ” “Today, today, today, I’m sorry.”
Before he could say anything, she smiled and said, ” let’s go. It’s time to go back. Such beautiful flowers should be placed in a beautiful vase.”
With that, she turned around and walked to the side of the road.
Xu Chi stood rooted to the ground. His deep eyes were colder than the ice and snow. Looking at her slender figure, his heart seemed to be clenched by something and slowly torn apart.
It was as if he had once abandoned her in the dark, so now he had to watch her back again and again as she turned around.
When they returned, Xu qianfan had already left with Xu Jialu and the others.
Bu Yu saw the plum blossom in her hand and said it was beautiful, so Goldy very generously gave it to her.
Wei Xi saw brother Xu Chi go out earlier and vaguely sensed something. When she saw bu Yu go upstairs with the plum blossom, she wanted to remind him a few times but eventually pressed the button.
Xu Chi followed her into the room. When he saw the plum blossom he had folded for her being given to bu Yu, his eyes darkened, but he did not show any expression.
——
Goldy made an excuse to go back to work and asked uncle cangming to send her back to Shanshui town on the third day of the new year.
He left before dawn, as if he was deliberately avoiding someone.
As the car slowly drove out of the mo residence, a window on the second floor was lit up. The man’s slender figure stood by the window for a long time, looking at the car disappearing into the night with a lonely expression.
“If you knew this would happen, then why did you do it?”
A cold voice came from the door, somewhat adding insult to injury.
Xu Chi turned around and saw mo Jiayue. He raised his eyebrows slightly. if you’re free, go have breakfast or torture your husband. Don’t loiter in front of me.
Mo Jiayue leaned against the door frame and said with a rebellious look, “although you chose to avoid talking about what happened in the countryside that year, I guess Goldy confessed to you at that time, but you rejected it heartlessly.
Xu Chi only frowned. He did not admit it, but he did not deny it.
Mo Jiayue took a deep breath and said helplessly, ” Xu Chi, just admit it. You like Goldy, far more than she likes you. You only rejected her because you were worried about your superficial identity and that the adults would not accept you, right? ”
