The time was just right. When Xue Xue went out, Xue Zhinian was about to drive the car out of the garage.
Seeing the woman standing by the door who was obviously waiting for him, he stepped on the brakes with one foot and rolled down the window at the same time.
"The wind is so strong, why are you standing here stupidly?" Xue Jinnian stared at Xue Xue. "Don't keep an eye on my future brother-in-law, so that he won't be overwhelmed by Dad?"
His tone was sour, but his face was still pretending to be calm.
Xue Xue looked at Xue Jinian quietly, and after a long while, smiled softly.
"You admit it."
Xue Jinnian didn't react.
"what?"
Xue Xue leaned forward and put her arms on the edge of the window.
"You admit, Yi Lang is your prospective brother-in-law."
"..." Realizing that he had stepped into Xue Xue's routine unknowingly, Xue Qinian's face darkened and he said viciously: "Go away! I'm leaving!"
Xue Xue had already figured out Xue Jinian's temper, and of course it was impossible to follow his heart.
"I know."
Xue Jinnian was stunned by the word without beginning and end.
Xue Xue had no intention of selling off, and still smiled.
"I know that you care about me, and I'm afraid that Yi Lang's identity can't give me a stable relationship and life, so I always show your rejection of him." After a pause, there was a touch of tenderness in Xue Xue's eyes. "Although you always remember the things of your childhood, you always make people think that you still remember the things of your childhood, but I know that's not the case."
"You've come out, just like I've come out."
"It's just that time has passed for so long that we have forgotten how to express our feelings to each other."
In fact, even brothers and sisters in ordinary families may not be able to play together harmoniously and lovingly, and as they grow older and their horizons widen, everyone will gradually have their own life and circle of friends, and they will usually keep in touch. It's not bad to get together to have a meal and talk about life during the New Year's Eve.
Good and bad examples, after all, are few.
Most of the people in this world feel that time is not enough for the sake of chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. How can they have spare time to worry about other people's affairs
What's more, Xue Zhiyou and Xue Zhinian still have the past.
Being able to have the current mode of getting along with each other is already the best result that the two can work out.
After Xue Xue's arrival, he took the initiative to ask Xue Zhinian for help several times, which may have slightly reversed the current state, but personality and habits are not just changed, but they can be changed by changing. Good choice.
But she still remembered Xue Zhiyou's wish.
"Chinen."
Xue Jinian, who was shocked because of Xue Xuefangcai's few words, was a little nervous, and subconsciously responded when she heard her call his name.
"Although I believe in Yi Lang, and I am confident that I can go on with Yi Lang, no one can say for sure in the future."
"This request sounds shameless, but I want you to back me up."
"Like mom and dad, let Yi Lang know that I'm not alone, and there are family members who love me behind me."
"This way..." Xue Xue's eyebrows rolled, and she smiled slyly like a fox. "He doesn't dare to bully me casually."
"… "
Xue Jinian knew that Xue Xue said this on purpose.
Also as a man, Xue Jinian could see that Yi Lang was sincere to Xue Xue.
Words may be falsified, but the concern and concern hidden in every move cannot deceive anyone. If Xue Jinian had some scruples about Yi Lang's identity before, then today's meal will undoubtedly dispel most of his doubts.
The most important thing is that Xue Xue is determined.
Even if he is not optimistic that they can reach the end, Xue Jinian doesn't think that the two can be separated now.
Why don't you just wait and see.
If Yi Lang really bullied Xue Xue, it would be justifiable for him to clean up again.
Rao Xue Xue didn't expect it, thinking that the silence at the table was Xue Jinian's sulking, but in fact, this younger brother had already thought about it, but he couldn't keep his face down.
Like now.
After a moment of silence, a low "hum" was Xue Jinian's unintelligible response.
Xue Xue understood.
Some things are not beautiful if they are made clear.
So, Xue Xue blinked, and when Xue Jinian was not paying attention, he reached out and patted his head.
Being caught off guard and being treated like a child, Xue Jinian suddenly exploded after reacting.
"Xue Zhiyou, you—"
"Thank you, Chinen."
The light of the incandescent light bulb fell, making Xue Xue Qingxiu's brows and eyes as clean as lines drawn with fine brushes, and a pair of water-filled apricot eyes filled with moonlight, and the intoxicating tenderness turned into light ripples rippling.
Extremely Beautiful.
Xue Zhinian was a little dazed for a while, and what he didn't expect was Xue Xue's next sentence: "And... I'm sorry."
I'm sorry for letting you stay at home by yourself back then, feeling frightened and uneasy.
Although it was not Xue Zhiyou's fault strictly speaking, Xue Xue knew that Xue Zhiyou always wanted to tell his brother, but couldn't find the opportunity to say these three words.
And Xue Jinnian was waiting for these three words.
In an instant, time seemed to be pulled back a long, long time ago.
Xue Chinian saw a person staying in the room with a doll in his hand. He didn't know where his parents and sister had gone, and why did he leave the little boy who was living with a strange aunt.
He was crying secretly.
He was afraid, but he dared not speak.
He was afraid that if he said it, it would be like what the aunt said, and in the future, his parents and sisters would not want to be themselves.
So the little boy wiped away his tears, got up, lay down on the bed with the doll in his arms, and wrapped himself in a thick quilt.
do not be afraid.
My parents and my sister will be back soon.
The little Xue Zhinian was like this. After thinking about it day by day, but disappointed again and again, she looked forward to the day when Ye Wen and Xue Yonghua took Xue Zhiyou home.
That day, for the first time, he deeply realized that he was the one left behind.
Those left behind by their parents and sisters.
The emotions that had been suppressed for nearly a year finally broke out at that moment.
Like broken glass, even if all the pieces are picked up and repaired, the crack will always exist.
But…
