The setting sun passed through the glass roof, refracting colorful light, falling on her eyes and her smile.
Although Shu Qiang's head was urging him to leave, his steps refused to move.
She is really... very cute and cute!
He held the flower and looked at her blankly.
"It turns out that two little devils are hiding here!" A loud voice sounded at the door of the flower room, and Mr. Cheng walked in on crutches.
"Grandpa, don't move around, you'll step on my flower again!" Xiyin yelled coquettishly.
"Oh, I didn't see it, I didn't see it." Mr. Cheng chuckled, "I've been looking for you two little guys in the house for a long time. Come in quickly, dinner is ready. Aqiang, come and try Aunt Lin's cooking, I promise you I can’t stop eating.”
Mr. Cheng stretched out his free right hand and took Shu Qiang's hand. The thick and rough palm wrapped his hand, and bursts of warmth came from it.
"Yes, the sweet and sour fish and peach pie made by Mrs. Lin are the most delicious. You will definitely like them." Xiyin also followed, reaching out and naturally taking Shu Qiang's other hand.
She thinks this little brother is very cute, good-looking and a little silly, much like the Winnie the Pooh that her father bought for her from abroad last time.
"Aqiang, do you know how to drink? If you can, come and have two drinks with me later." Mr. Cheng asked as he walked, deliberately trying to lead a certain child into mischief.
"Grandpa, Dr. Zhao said you should abstain from alcohol for these two months." Before Shu Qiang could answer, Xiyin had already retorted.
"Just two glasses, two glasses of wine. The wine is light, not wine."
"No matter how light it is, it's still wine, don't drink it."
"You're going to turn off people if you're as good as your mother."
The old one and the young one chattered endlessly, noisily like two birds.
Shuqiang was held by the two of them, sandwiched in the middle. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he felt a little moved for no reason. It was like a layer of ice that originally covered his heart had become loose, cracked, and melted. It tasted a little warm.
six years later
In the early morning, the sound of rushing water woke Cheng Xiyin from his deep sleep as usual.
She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
The heavy curtains blocked the early morning sunlight, making the room dark and quiet. My ears were filled with the sound of water rushing outside the window and the chirping of birds.
Xiyin stared at the ceiling for a while and struggled internally for a while.
"Don't look at him, he's the most annoying guy in the world!"
Xiyin told herself angrily, but there seemed to be many ants crawling in her heart.
The sound of the water was getting louder and more powerful. Even if Xiyin closed her eyes, she could still imagine him flying through the water like a flying fish.
Finally she couldn't help it anymore, walked to the window barefoot, quietly lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the swimming pool downstairs.
In the azure swimming pool illuminated by the morning sun, Shu Qiang swam forward like a sharp arrow.
His young and strong body exuded infinite strength. He shuttled through the water without any obstacles, and his bronze complexion shone in the sunlight.
In fact, a boy like Shuqiang always shines wherever he goes.
He has deep black eyes, a high bridge of nose and sexy and stubborn thin lips. He is handsome enough to make girls scream.
He is also the captain of the basketball school team. Not only girls from his own school, but also girls from other schools come to him and scream at him in every round of his game.
Girls are all fascinated by his handsome appearance, and no one knows how awkward his temperament is.
Yes, awkward! Shu Qiang, he is an awkward idiot and an annoying guy!
Xiyin thought angrily. She never understood why their questioning became so awkward.
The two of them used to be very good playmates. When Shu Qiang first came to the villa, he was like a little beast, wary of everyone except her.
They like to play adventure games in the villa on summer afternoons, and like to help her rose garden till the soil and water it together...
The two always loved being together and had endless topics to talk about. When they got tired of talking, he would quietly listen to her playing the violin.
However, I don’t know since when, he began to alienate her, no longer pay attention to her, and even mocked her maliciously. When she first learned to put on makeup, he said that her face looked like a circus clown, and that she played the piano like a thousand A duck is quacking.
Disgusting people! Xiyin bit her lower lip, recalling all the bad things he had done.
At the age of sixteen, she always couldn't figure out why things were like this between them. Sometimes she would vaguely understand, but most of the time she didn't understand, and she often felt very confused and a little sad.
They had it so easy!
Where have all those happy times and friendships flown to
Shuqiang had swam ten times in the swimming pool and was resting at the edge of the swimming pool. He slightly picked up his dripping head, and his eyes suddenly fell on Xiyin's window.
Xiyin's hands shook in fright, and she quickly put down the curtain: her heart was pounding wildly.
He must not let him know that she is peeking at him, otherwise he will definitely embarrass her with his bad mouth.
Even though the curtains had been closed, Xiyin could still feel Shuqiang's sharp gaze penetrating through the curtains and falling on her.
She blushed slightly, feeling a little ashamed of her actions.
