Only after pouring a large gulp of water did Chi Yu speak out.
"Xue Dehui should have spoken to you about our family background."
"My hometown is in Jinghe."
"My grandfather came to Jinghe to avoid disaster during the war. He met my grandmother, and finally settled there."
Taking advantage of Chi Yu's pause, Xue Xue asked, "You already knew that Xue Dehui was investigating you?"
Chi Yu did not deny it, and Xue Xue was silent.
The man's background seems to be more unusual than she thought, the kind of control that seems to have everything in his hands, just like the Wuzhi Mountain of the Tathagata Buddha, no matter how high Sun Wukong is, he thinks he has reached the end, It just jumped a few times in the palm of the hand, but nothing came out of the roll.
However, she quickly put aside the unspeakable feeling in her heart, and gathered her energy to focus on Chi Yu's next words.
"My father originally had four siblings, but because of various man-made accidents, he was the only one who survived in the end."
"He told me from a very young age that you have to be strong enough to be strong enough to protect the people you want to protect."
Probably because of the mention of his parents, Chi Yu's facial expression was like a misty forest in the early morning, showing a thin sunshine, soft and warm.
"My parents were great people, at least for me, they were the best parents."
"The composition I wrote in elementary school, about my dream, is to become a superman who can protect my family just like my dad."
At this time, Chi Yu was in a very rare state.
Xue Xue has seen the happy Chi Yu, the gentle Chi Yu, the coquettish Chi Yu, the angry Chi Yu, the out-of-control Chi Yu, the uneasy Chi Yu... As a lover and cohabitant, she can say that she has seen many faces of each other , including those that are usually manifested and those that are not often revealed in front of people.
But now this side of Chi Yu makes her very unfamiliar.
It seems to be missing something, and it seems to be sad about why.
The contradictory emotions made Chi Yu fall into a situation that only he could understand.
Xue Xue didn't want to break it out, but put her palms on his fisted hands, silently giving encouragement and comfort.
"I had a very happy childhood."
"I think... it should be very happy."
The last few words Chi Yu said were very light, as light as a ray of breeze that left no trace. If the surrounding environment was not quiet at this time, Xue Xue would be very attentive to listening to Chi Yu's words, and he might not be able to tell what he was talking about. what.
It looked as if the lips were just moving.
"Why should it be?"
"Why?" Chi Yu chuckled. "Because it's too far."
"Um?"
"Childhood, happiness, parents... These are all too far away from me." Chi Yu's eyes were deep. "It's like a lifetime away."
Hearing this, Xue Xue was startled.
Chi Yu is only a young adult now. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is at a good age when he has both depth and vitality in his life. However, if you just listen to his tone, it seems like an old man in his twilight years. When looking back on the past, it is full of sighs about the ruthless time.
Although I already knew from Xue Dehui what Chi Yu might have experienced in the past without her participation, when the words came out of Chi Yu's mouth, the impact on Xue Xue was stronger.
And that's even just the beginning.
Xue Xue subconsciously held Chi Yu with strength, not knowing whether he wanted to calm his heart or his own.
Chi Yu lowered his eyelids, his eyes fell on the hands of the two men, and with a backhand, he wrapped Xue Xue's small hands into the circle formed by the big hands.
"Maybe the opposite is true. When I was ten years old, they had an accident and left."
"I was sad at that time, so sad that even on a sunny day, the sky was gray." Chi Yu paused. "At that time, everyone was busy dealing with their parents' funerals, and they didn't care about me at all, and I didn't want to see those adults who only talked about inheritance, so I simply locked myself in the room and didn't come out. A little snack and drink in the cupboard to fill the stomachâ
Following Chi Yu's description, Xue Xue drew a picture in his mind.
A beautiful and quiet child with delicate features, who was alone in a room where the sun did not see the light, his eyes were blank, and he was crying silently while hugging his knees.
Xue Xue only felt that her heart was suddenly tightened.
Aware of the woman's loving gaze, Chi Yu lifted his eyelids, his peach eyes were dizzy with pink and a little misty, very gloomy.
He suddenly laughed.
He grabbed Xue Xue's elbow suddenly, and pulled the man into his arms with a single effort.
Xue Xue blinked.
The muscles pressed down are firm and tense, and even through two layers of fabric, you can feel the undulating lines.
Only then did Xue Xue know that Chi Yu's mood was far more unsettled than he had shown.
Perhaps, this is a kind of self-revealing thing for him.
Xue Xue felt distressed, but she knew that if the roots were rotten, they had to be pulled out, otherwise, they would only be dragged and corrupted together.
It was difficult for Chi Yu to speak. Xue Xue couldn't ask Chi Yu to retract himself into the shell because of his own discomfort at this time, and continue the attitude of ignoring it and pretending it didn't exist before.
With this idea in mind, Xue Xue just curled up in the man's arms and adjusted a comfortable posture to listen to the next story.
Little did she know that her dawdling movements seemed to Chi Yu like a domestic delicate white cat looking for a nest for herself.
Incredibly cute.
