After Cao Yang finally left, Xia Rou locked the door.

She knew Cao Yang could hear it, so she did it anyway.

Cao Yang stood outside the door, and clearly heard the sound of the door lock "clicking".

In this extremely high-security mansion, Xia Rou has no sense of security and has to rely on the door lock to protect herself.

Cao Yang felt extremely frustrated.

He thought he had found her heart knot. But it soon became apparent that he was mistaken.

Xia Rou has another knot in her heart, and she doesn't know what it is, but it makes her unable to open the door of her heart.

She, can't accept him, refuses to accept him.

At dinner time, the family gathered together.

Talking and laughing at the dinner table. Xia Rou's unusual silence made it impossible not to be noticed.

Cao Xiong just glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Rou?"

As soon as Xia Rou raised her head, Cao Yang, who was sitting on top of her, said, "She had a fever this morning, and she caught a cold at school yesterday."

"Have you seen a doctor yet?" Cao Xiong asked concerned.

"I have already given her medicine. The fever subsided when I got home." Cao Yang said.

Xia Rou didn't want Cao Xiong to worry, so she said, "It's fine." She did catch a cold, although the fever subsided, her voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm not in good spirits, I'll rest early later." Cao Xiong said.

Xia Rou let out a "hmm".

After eating, the men started smoking and chatting.

Xia Rou stared at the pattern of the tablecloth, but actually didn't listen to what the men said. I don't know what I'm thinking.

The hand on the lap was suddenly grabbed.

Xia Rou trembled and looked up.

With a cigarette in his left hand, Cao Yang seemed to be listening attentively to Cao Xing and Cao An's lively discussion about a ball game. With his right hand, under the cover of the tablecloth, he held Xia Rou's left hand.

Xia Rou struggled a bit, but couldn't break free. I didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of being discovered by everyone.

Cao Yang didn't look at her, but he refused to let go at all, holding her hand tightly.

Xia Rou lowered her eyes for a moment, and suddenly said to Cao Xiong, "Uncle, I feel a little weak, so go to sleep first."

Cao Xiong said: "Have a good rest."

Xia Rou got up slowly, Cao Yang could only let go of her hand.

After Xia Rou left, Cao Yang got up after a while.

Cao Bin, who was talking to Cao Xiong, glanced at him and asked, "Brother, why are you going?"

"Make a call." Cao Yang said,

After Cao Yang also disappeared, Cao Bin looked away.

Turning his head, he found that Cao Xiong was also looking at Cao Yang's back. The father and son looked at each other, each smoking a cigarette.

Over there, Cao Xing and Cao An were chatting enthusiastically...

Xia Rou heard the knock on the door and knew it could only be Cao Yang.

She held the doorknob and pressed her forehead against the wooden door, trying to muster up the courage not to open the door.

But Cao Yang's low and deep voice pierced through the wooden door: "Open the door." Habitually speaking in an orderly tone.

Xia Rou's courage dissipated.

She opened the door a crack, revealing a slightly pale face.

Cao Yang looked at her for two seconds, then reached out and pushed the door open.

Xia Rou was swept back by his strength and took a step back. When she stood still, Cao Yang had already closed the door with his backhand and looked at her.

"Are you going to ignore me?" He asked.

Xia Rou stubbornly remained silent.

Cao Yang sighed: "Xiaorou... don't lose your temper, let's talk about it."

speak well...

Xia Rou raised her head.

Looking at each other for a moment, Xia Rou said, "Wei Qi..."

Cao Yang didn't expect her to mention Wei Qi when she opened her mouth, and looked at her with a slight frown.

"Wei Qi...he's fine." Xia Rou said. "He has a great personality, positive and cheerful. The family situation is simple and easy to get along with. He has been in two relationships,... no, maybe not yet..."

Love history is simple, private life is very clean. People around him, whether they are colleagues or classmates, speak well of him, he said.

suitable for you.

"It's very suitable for me." Xia Rou said, "I plan to get along with him slowly. After I graduate from university, I want to find a job that I like and am interested in. It's not to make money to support my family, but to do something Something I really like. Then, I plan to marry Wei Qi."

"Before then, I will move out of the house and stand on my own. Slowly, I will make myself less dependent on the family, especially...you."

"During the holidays, Wei Qi and I will come to see you. We treat each other as relatives. Just treat me as a married daughter from this family."

"This...is my life plan. Brother..." Xia Rou looked at him, "Do you agree?"

"I disagree!" Cao Yang vetoed without thinking.

Although it is commendable that she can think so far, but... the life plan she made for herself is really hard to compliment.

"Come to see us during the holidays?" Cao Yang said coldly, "The whole family treats you well, so it's only worth letting you come and see us during the holidays?"

Xia Rou lowered her head: "Then... I come here every week..."

It's ridiculous to be obsessed with not realizing it!

"What about the other families? The Hu family? The Zhang family? Li Shao? Sun Yuqing? Zhao Peipei? Are they all your girlfriends? How do you plan to associate with them in the future?" he asked.

"Wei Qi, no matter how good you are, what can you become? Senior white-collar workers? Gold-collar workers? How dare you start your own business and make money to become a wealthy businessman? Can you squeeze into this circle?"

"You friends, their future husbands are either rich or noble. How do you plan to continue dating them when you marry Wei Qi?"

When Cao Yang said this, seeing Xia Rou's lowered eyebrows, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Xiaorou, you!" He was surprised for a moment, then said solemnly, "Are you... just planning to leave this circle?"

Xia Rou lowered her head, acquiescing.

Returning to the place that belongs to her is... what the elder brother in the previous life had always hoped for her to do.

Two teardrops fell in the blink of an eye and shattered on the floor.

Xia Rou didn't know that her appearance at this moment was exactly the same as her previous life.

Stubborn, silent.

Even when he became stubborn, he never quarreled and cried. She just hung her head, weeping quietly, silently stubborn.

Whether it was the previous life or the present life, Cao Yang felt distressed.

Cao Yang pursed his lips and looked at her.

Finally, unable to bear the distress, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead hair: "Silly girl! Silly girl!"

He sighed, held her in his arms, and said in a low voice: "I know you've been unhappy. You cry when you're drunk... I've tried my best to take care of you better. What else can I do to make you Be happier? You tell me?"

Xia Rou raised her head: "Brother, Wei Qi... is really good."

Cao Yang looked at her: "Do you like him that much? Can't you be with me? Don't you like me at all?"

Xia Rou couldn't answer.

Her voice was low, almost pleading: "He's really nice...you're going to like him..."

Cao Yang sneered: "Like it? I just want to kill him. You know why."

After he finished speaking, he touched the back of her neck with his hand, only to see heartbroken disappointment on her face.

This guy is nice. Good personality, positive and cheerful. The family situation is simple and easy to get along with. I have been in two relationships, the love history is simple, and my private life is very clean.

It suits you well, he said.

He tried hard to persuade. I hope she can choose Wei Qi between Liang Zihuan and Wei Qi.

Because he knew very well that Liang Zihuan... was not her lover. He knew very well that in the Liang family, where the family situation was somewhat complicated, she was actually unable to deal with Liang Zihuan and Xia Hongjun.

He had already seen everything.

At that time, in his heart...would he wish to kill Wei Qi

Then, with what mood did he earnestly persuade her to choose Wei Qi

Xia Rou only felt that her breathing was not smooth, and there was a dull pain in her chest.

She grabbed Cao Yang's arm that was stroking the back of her neck.

"You... like touching the back of my neck, why?"

She remembered that the man often touched her head, his hand would slide along the hair to the back of her neck, stay there for a short time, and then leave.

There is still some warmth in the palm of your hand.

When Cao Yang heard this, he lowered his head and kissed her eyes.

Tell her in a low voice: "Because...it's beautiful. I wanted to touch it a long time ago..."

He kissed her cheek, then kissed her lips.

I see…

Xia Rou felt dizzy.

She closed her eyes.

"Xiaorou, is it Wei Qi?" Cao Yang left her lips and asked in her ear, "Tell me, do you like me a little?"

Xia Rou opened her eyes, blankly: "I... don't know."

The corners of Cao Yang's lips curved slightly.

"Don't worry." He said, "I won't force you."

His deep voice rang in her ears, as if bewitching: "I'll give you time, you think it through slowly. But don't lock the door. Xiaorou..."

Cao Yang propped his arms against the wall, locked Xia Rou in the limited space in front of him, and stared down at her.

"As I said, no one can treat you casually,... including me." He promised, "If you don't want to, I won't touch you."

"...don't be afraid. In this family, never be afraid."

He kissed the top of her head, and held her gently in his arms, carefully...

Before going to sleep, Xia Rou wanted to check her phone, only to find that it had been turned off. She just remembered that she forgot to charge it last night.

She charged the phone for a while and turned it on. Opening the communication software, I saw that Wei Qi had sent her several messages.

She curled up on the sofa, holding her legs in a daze for a long time.

The phone rang suddenly, it was Wei Qi.

"Rourou?" he said, "You can count it on! Where are you?"

"… at home."

Hearing that she was at home, Wei Qi was relieved.

He asked in a low voice: "I went to the dormitory to look for you in the morning, but you left. I called you, why didn't you answer?"

"Hmm..." Xia Rou sniffed, "Wei Qi... I..."

She remembered Cao Yang sneered and said "I just want to kill him"... Her heart sank slowly...

"I'm going back to school tomorrow, old time." She lowered her eyes and said, "Wei Qi...let's talk when we meet..."

Traffic jams are easy on Monday mornings, Xia Rou is unwilling to get up early, and usually returns to school after dinner on Sundays.

Sometimes Xiao Yang sent her off, but more often, it was Cao Yang who sent her off.

This Sunday was no exception. She took a change of clothes and got into Cao Yang's car.

Cao Yang said, don't force her. If she doesn't want to, don't touch her.

The "touch" he said is not the level of holding hands and kissing between young lovers. Xia Rou knew what he meant.

On the way, he will also say a word or two. There seemed to be peace between them.

But Xia Rou knew that everything had changed. Even the air in front of her and him was different.

She and this Cao Yang can never go back to the past.

She lost a big brother and lost another.
