She looked at him sadly, but did not take the schoolbag. Instead, she suddenly opened her slender arms, hugged his neck, and buried her little face deeply in his neck with affection.
The sudden embrace shocked Tang Yu, and his body froze. After a long time, he raised his hands and hugged her slender body. Then, he hugged her tighter, wishing he could brand her into his bones and blood and never let go.
His originally depressed heart melted at this moment just because of her hug. He was usually shrewd, but now he was too easy to deceive and coax. No matter how bad his temper was, he could make it go away as long as she acted coquettishly and hugged him like this.
"What's wrong?" When he spoke again, his tone was no longer as cold as before. He turned his face slightly to her, and put his thin lips on her snow-white and soft earlobe, smelling the fresh and clean scent on her body.
"Don't be angry, okay?" Song Zhixing's soft voice sounded, making Tang Yu's heart ripple. During the time when the two of them were really getting along well, she had made him angry countless times. She was so angry that she had never said a word of comfort to him in such a flattering tone on the day when they signed the termination agreement. He didn't say anything, but just made a "hmm" sound from his nose, in a questioning tone. Song Zhixing tightened her hands around his neck, and her voice suddenly choked, "I don't have a father or a mother, now I only have my aunt and grandpa... If even they don't want me, I won't have a real relative of my own..."
This sentence almost tore Tang Yu's heart apart. He wanted to say, it doesn't matter, even if everyone in the world doesn't want her, she still has him. However, what he can give can never replace what she expects in her heart. Family affection has become so poor to her that it is almost empty. His insistence is a bit selfish.
Song Zhixing stepped back a little, and looked at him pleadingly with tearful eyes, "So, Second Uncle, please don't tell them anything..."
Tang Yu felt distressed and sympathetic. He grabbed her chin and took a deep sip of her lips. "I will try to be patient."
But, we can't wait too long.
When Song Zhixing heard this, she burst into laughter. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and grabbed her schoolbag, "Then I'll go upstairs."
"I'm going to the airport now and will be back in a few days." Tang Yu said suddenly.
"Now?" Song Zhixing paused when he heard his words. He glanced at the time, "It's already very late. Besides, didn't you just come back?"
"Today's time was squeezed out at the last minute. I'll come back to take a look and then leave." Tang Yu cast his gaze on her, and it deepened a little. Who was he looking at? The meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious. Song Zhixing felt the meaning conveyed by his eyes, and her heart suddenly added a lot of reluctance to leave. "Isn't it very tiring for you to fly back and forth like this?"
Tang Yu narrowed his eyes, smiling, "As long as you behave yourself and don't get angry with me, it won't be too hard."
Song Zhixing snorted, turned her face away and bit his hand mischievously. His eyes were full of pampering, and he did not pull away, but just let her bite between his lips and teeth, "Tomorrow I will have someone come to pack your luggage, you move back, and wait for me to come back obediently. And-"
Tang Yu's expression became more serious. "Fill in your application form again. Without my approval, you can't go anywhere."
"... You are too authoritarian!" Song Zhixing complained, but he felt much more cheerful.
———
The two of them were chatting in the car. The door was open, and someone who was taking a walk in the middle of the night passed by and looked into the car for a long time. Song Zhixing recognized them as the middle-aged couple who lived next door to his aunt.
"It's really Xingxing." The middle-aged couple was embarrassed to find that Song Zhixing had discovered them. They smiled and said, "We thought we had the wrong person. Is this my boyfriend? He's very handsome!"
"..." Song Zhixing didn't dare to answer, he was so embarrassed. Moreover, if they knew Tang Yu and told my aunt...
She didn't dare to think further. She lost all her mood for a moment.
Tang Yu was not someone who would interact with strangers, so even though the couple smiled like flowers, he remained indifferent. The middle-aged couple also knew what was happening, knowing that they were not welcome, so they did not stay and hurried upstairs.
As soon as they left, Song Zhixing followed them, "Second Uncle, I'm leaving."
"Why are you panicking?" Tang Yu saw through her emotional changes at a glance.
"They are my aunt's neighbors, I'm worried..." Song Zhixing felt uneasy. She was not sure how much the couple had seen. Tang Yu had just kissed her.
Tang Yu frowned slightly, glanced at the two figures that had already walked away, and finally said: "Don't scare yourself, they don't know me."
Song Zhixing thought about it and realized that it was true. They didn’t know that Tang Yu was his second uncle, nor did they know about his relationship with his aunt.
The tension in her heart was barely relaxed. Du Hui called again to remind her again and again. Tang Yu really couldn't stay any longer, so she just sent her to the elevator and left.

upstairs.
When the middle-aged couple from the neighborhood just walked out of the elevator, Li Hanyan was carefully sorting the garbage in the corridor. Hearing the noise, she stood up, nodded slightly, and greeted the two people gracefully.
The two men opened the door, and the middle-aged wife suddenly gossiped, "Ms. Li, we just met your niece downstairs."
"Really? It's really late, she should be back." Li Hanyan continued.
"She is not alone, she also has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is downstairs right now, he just sent her back. He is very handsome, but it is a bit too early for an 18-year-old to have a boyfriend. Besides, doesn't she still have to take the college entrance examination?" the other party said with concern.
Li Hanyan didn't take these words to heart at all. Instead, she found them very funny. However, she was still very polite and said, "You misunderstood. It might be those uncles from Xingxing."
"Uncle? How is that possible? I saw them in the car..." The other person put his thumbs together and then said, "Kissing."
Li Hanyan was startled, "Did I see it wrong?"
"How could I be wrong? There's no way I could be wrong! He doesn't look like her classmate. He's quite mature. He's just cold and looks unapproachable. He's also driving a luxury car, a black Bentley."
Too much information suddenly came at her, leaving Li Hanyan stunned for a while. Tang Yu's face suddenly popped up in her mind for no reason, and she was also shocked by this thought. She asked, "Did you see the license plate of the car?"
"..." The other party shook his head, "That's not the case. It's so dark, how can you see it if you don't look carefully?"
Although the other party said he didn't see it, Li Hanyan still felt uneasy. That thought kept turning over in his mind, and he felt horrified no matter how hard he tried.
