This anticipation turned out to be more urgent and eager than being locked in a warehouse.
Yet... the hope fell through.
The heart, heavily crashed to the ground.
She swore she’ll never like Yin Shixiu again!
The less than ten-minute conversation seed to mark their full stop.
Su Xiaong walked toward her parents without looking back, tears streaming down, feeling disappointed, uncomfortable, annoyed, angry at herself...
"Mom... Mom... let’s go..."
Su Chengji’s face darkened, glanced at Yin Shixiu still sitting by the window in the cafe, and wrapped his arm around his daughter’s shoulder, heading into security.
Yin ng stood aside, opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Ran to Yin Shixiu’s side, but before she could speak, Yin Shixiu had already gotten up and left...
No one knew what he was thinking.
Su Xiaong got on the plane, still sobbing a bit, looking very sad.
"...Do you like him that much?"
Su Xiaong puffed her cheeks, looking aggrievedly at her mom, then shook her head desperately, "Don’t like him anymore, never want to like him again... boo hoo..."
Su’s mother pulled her into her arms.
All the way, Su Xiaong stared out of the window in a daze and eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
After waking up, the plane had already landed at Chengdu Airport.
Su Xiaong followed her parents ho.
She had dinner, but didn’t eat much.
Accompanied her parents to watch TV for a while before she returned lethargically to her bedroom.
Lying on the bed, sadness flowing like a river, the little girl pouted, muttering curses about Yin Shixiu...
Her eyes turned red again and again, feeling particularly disappointed in herself!
Why cry? Anyway, the marriage will end sooner or later...
Boo hoo... Damn uncle! Boo hoo...
As her muffled cries grew uncontrollable, her phone rang.
She sniffed, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller—Uncle.
Pa! Hung up!
Just after hanging up, the phone rang again!
Pa! Continued hanging up!
This repeated four or five tis, and just as Su Xiaong was about to switch off her phone, a text from Yin Shixiu ca in...
Fortunately, the text would jump straight to the page, Su Xiaong didn’t have ti to block it.
—Girl, if I co to Chengdu, can you continue to like ?
—Get lost! Get lost, get lost, get lost! Don’t like you!
—But I’ve already arrived, co down.
Su Xiaong montarily froze, her eyes fixed on the text, staring at the words over and over again...
Not caring whether her eyes were red or her face was tear-streaked, she slipped on her slippers and dashed out of the room, running quickly downstairs!
Telling herself it’s impossible, it’s impossible...
But when the door opened, Yin Shixiu stood right in front, dragging a big suitcase.
"Uncle..."
That person... really ca.
Su Xiaong blinked, still not enough, then rubbed her eyes hard.
Yet she found the more she rubbed, the blurrier her vision beca.
Seeing her dressed in pajamas, cotton slippers, but not even wearing socks, stood before him, Yin Shixiu frowned slightly, stepped forward, opened his coat, and wrapped her in an embrace.
The protruding belly bumped into him...
A satisfaction born from the heart.
"Not cold?"
March in Chengdu is warr than March in Beijing, but remnants of winter chill remain.
"Why... why did you co?"
Her muffled voice sounded hoarse...
"I was driven out by your parents-in-law, um... temporarily need to rely on the wife’s family."
Su Xiaong stared blankly, her head resting against his chest, muttered a sentence, "Even wife’s family doesn’t welco you..."
"Why do I love hearing you say these lip-service words?"
"I do not give lip service..."
"Saying divorce, but actually not wanting divorce, saying not liking , but actually liking , saying leave, but actually wanting to stay, saying—"
Su Xiaong raised her eyes, furrowed her brows, "Yin Shixiu, you—"
Before she finished speaking, her lips were gently taken, carrying the dusty scent of Yin Shixiu.
"Oh! With this light, look... Xiao ng, your face looks like a crying raccoon cat?"
Yin Shixiu bent down, lowered his head, closing the distance, the tip of his nose almost touching hers, a large hand caressing her half-dried tears.
A little heartache, mixed with so joy.
Su Xiaong quickly turned her face away, "You’re the raccoon cat..."
"Why crying... because of ? Because I didn’t co with you to Chengdu?"
"Don’t be narcissistic!"
"ng ng, let’s not be angry, alright?"
"It’s not good for the baby to be angry."
Su Xiaong pouted, gave Yin Shixiu a fierce eye-roll followed by another, "Now you co trying to coax , too late!"
"Yes, you see it’s already late, shall we go inside? Feeling cold..."
Su Xiaong raised her chin, "You know cold now? Then do you know the night before I—"
Yin Shixiu didn’t let her finish speaking, pulling her head into his chest, "I know."
"I know, I know... it won’t happen again, trust , Xiao ng... it won’t happen again..."
Hmm... the book says, a man’s words can’t be trusted, because most of the ti they end up defeating themselves.
But Su Xiaong... still believed him.
Because she feels that believing is more enjoyable than not believing, at least for this mont.
"Hmph..."
Su Xiaong lifted her head from his embrace, "Don’t think that just because you’re being sweet and talking nice to , I’ll fall for it..."
"Then... what will make you fall for it?"
"You at least have to treat well with good food and drinks, and then listen to , and also..."
As she spoke, Su Xiaong noticed the man in front of her was smiling like a fox, leisurely watching her...
Slowly realizing, "Yin Shixiu, did you co all this way just to trick ?"
Yin Shixiu wrapped her waist, covering her with his coat, lowered his head, his voice soft yet extrely charming...
"I ca to apologize, to make up. To continue dating you, to keep holding you, kissing you... to keep being liked by you."
"... Shaless, I knew your intentions weren’t pure, see, without around, no one warms your bed, right?"
"Hmm... why wouldn’t there be?"
Just after Yin Shixiu finished speaking, Su Xiaong stepped on his shoe!
But what attack power could a pair of cotton slippers and her soft feet have?
It was just a small spark on the top of his foot.
"You can go back now!"
"I fell asleep on the plane holding that Winnie the Pooh... the crew laughed at for quite a while."
He said with a hoarse voice.
Su Xiaong pouted, her face showing a "I don’t believe you" expression...
"Let’s go inside, don’t catch a cold."
Su Xiaong ca out of his embrace, glanced at him, "I’ll tell you, even if you ca all the way here, I don’t plan on forgiving you!"
After saying that, she turned around and reached for the apartnt building’s door, Yin Shixiu laughed lightly watching her open the door for him...
He followed in with his suitcase.
Su Xiaong heard the person behind her was smart enough to follow, so she continued upstairs, muttering as she went, "I’m just upholding a decent sense of contract spirit, letting you co up reluctantly, but if my parents don’t let you in, you still have to go back ho..."
She chattered on about sothing, Yin Shixiu didn’t care, what he cared about was her tone, her expression when she saw him, it was her... no matter what she was saying, she was leading him inside.
From the mont he t this girl, from being interested in her to liking her, to liking her a lot...
He was sure that now it couldn’t simply be expressed as "liking".
He loves her, and this thing called love is the kind of spell that can make soone heaven one mont and hell the next...
How emotions change, whether joy or sorrow, all depends on her.
And Su Xiaong at this mont?
She was saying things she herself found hypocritical and pretentious, yet she just couldn’t stop.
She didn’t want him to think she was easy to manipulate, didn’t want him to think forgiveness ca easily, but her face facing away from him already showed a cat-like grin of mischief.
Very happy, very thrilled, very pleased...
And before this mont, her complaints, her anger, her unwillingness...
Her determination to cut all ties and never interact again, like a wall made of foam, was so easily torn down.
So useless.
But... she would be happier.
When Su Xiaong led Yin Shixiu to stand at the doorway, Su’s mother just ca out of the shower, with semi-wet hair, she raised an eyebrow at them.
Su Chengji was also montarily confused.
"Girl, what’s... the situation here?"
Su Xiaong smiled broadly, "Uncle got kicked out by Yin Family Dad and Yin Family Mom!"
Su’s mother’s brow furrowed higher, giving Yin Shixiu an icy glare.
"Over there in Beijing... it was my failure to handle things well, and bringing Xiaong back to Beijing was inconsiderate of , so at least until Xiaong has the baby, I’ll stay in Chengdu with her."
Su Xiaong felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
Su’s mother looked at the touch of joy in her daughter’s eyes, wishing she could slap it away!
This Yin Shixiu, no one knows what kind of potion he’s fed this girl!
How long has it been? Huh?
It seed like just a minute ago she was crying and screaming about wanting a divorce with all the determination in the world! And the next minute she’s blissfully holding hands!
Making her, the mother... feel a bit like an outsider!
"You’re staying in Chengdu? Ha... what about explaining to the elders in the Yin Family? And your work?"
"Mom, you don’t have to worry about that, I said I’ll stay with her, so I will stay with her."
"I can’t bear you calling Mom."
Su’s mother snorted coldly.
Su Chengji looked at Yin Shixiu, "This... things can’t just be settled like this."
"Dad, tell , what can I do to make it up?"
"Well..."
Su Chengji suddenly fell silent, Su’s mother looked toward her husband, sowhat anticipating to see what kind of request he might make...
"Haha! Co play another couple of rounds of chess with ! If you don’t co, the chess would be useless! Haha!"
Su’s mother’s face darkened, "Su Chengji."
"Oh my, wife, you see Xiao Yin ca all the way to Chengdu to chase ng ng, let’s not dwell on past matters! Besides, didn’t that girl at the airport say, Xiao Yin was also a victim, quite innocent..."
Su Xiaong quickly nodded, "Mom... we can’t let Uncle go sleep on the streets so late, can we? Just kindly take him in for a bit..."
"You two! Don’t you have any backbone?"
Su’s mother was simply exasperated!
Last night, who was the one feeling sorry and distressed, who was the one crying dumbly at noon, wasn’t that also soone!
