    ?

    Zhou Shaoting turned his head to look at his mother, as if looking at a vexatious child, and then said flatly: "Okay, I see." After speaking, he turned and went upstairs without looking back.

    Zhu Ping was so overwhelmed that she had nowhere to vent, she picked up the goblet on the table and raised it above her head, paused for a few seconds, then put it back heavily on the table.  She sat back in the chair straight up, her chest heaving and unsteady, her fair face still flushing.

    Leaving Zhou's house, Xiao Shi did not go home by car, but walked along the road alone, the grievance in his heart had been dried along with the wet eye sockets, and his mood was so low that he couldn't make any waves.

    When she is in a bad mood, she likes to walk aimlessly in one direction like this. She has walked through many streets without knowing it, and her calves are heavy and sore.  When I looked up, I found that I had reached Yuyuan Road, and nearby was a historical and cultural area known as the "Garden Alley Museum".  There are many former residences of celebrities here, which still retain the atmosphere of old Shanghai. The European-style chic architecture and rich petty bourgeoisie atmosphere have attracted many tourists.

    It's really lively here. Bars, restaurants, and roadside vendors make the corner of the city so lively under the night.

    The sound of brakes behind her made a gap in Xiaoshi's dull thoughts. She vaguely hoped that Zhou Shaoting would drive to find her. However, when she realized what she was thinking, she felt even more guilty and uneasy.

    "Miss Xiaoshi!"

    A sweet baby voice came to her ears, Xiao Shi stopped and turned around, and saw Cheng Yiyao jumped out of the white car behind her, and ran to her with joy in her eyes.  It seems that those soul-stirring experiences did not leave any psychological shadow on this cheerful girl.

    Cheng Yiyuan got out of the car next. He looked much calmer than before. He walked over at a leisurely pace and stopped behind Yiyao, his eyes resting on Xiaoshi.

    Maybe it's because his sister is by his side, Xiaoshi thinks that his behavior and expression give people a sense of vicissitudes.

    Yiyao took Xiaoshi's arm with great joy, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence!"

    "Yeah, what a coincidence." Xiao Shi responded to her with a smile, obviously absent-minded.

    "Why did you come here?" Cheng Yiyuan asked.

    "me¡­¡­"

    Before Xiaoshi had time to make up a reason, Yiyao had already snatched her words, and said happily: "You came here to shop too? It's super impressive! I really envy you who live in Shanghai and can come here often. I like this place the most."  It¡¯s a small street, and it¡¯s nice to have a living history!¡± She talked endlessly, still immersed in the satisfaction of wandering around in the afternoon.

    "My brother and I are going to have dinner, can you come with us? I'll show you the photos I took!" Yiyao cheerfully held Xiaoshi's arm and wanted to walk to the car.

    Xiaoshi showed embarrassment, and just about to excuse her refusal, Yiyuan saw the clue, gently pulled his sister's arm away, and said, "Forget it, Xiaoshi has something to do today, let's meet again some other day."

    Yi Yao looked suspiciously at his brother, then at Xiao Shi who seemed guilty, pursed his lips and exhaled, not without disappointment, he said: "Okay then, next time"

    "Where are you going? I'll take you for a while." Cheng Yiyuan said.

    Xiaoshi smiled and shook his head.

    Yi Yao came up again, and said childishly: "Then we can make a deal, we will have dinner together next time!"

    Xiao Shi nodded with a smile.

    Back in the car, Cheng Yiyao began to question his brother, "Is sister Xiaoshi really okay? What's the matter? How did you know?"

    Cheng Yiyuan turned around in the car, glanced at the girl's figure in the rearview mirror getting smaller and smaller until it shrunk into a fuzzy dot and melted into the bright lights, and then he answered his sister, "Don't you see that she is not thinking?  Maybe it's something on my mind."

    For some reason, the scene he saw outside the ward door that day came back to Yiyuan's mind, and he felt blocked, so he freed one hand to loosen his collar.

    Yi Yao noticed that his brother was a little irritable, tilted his head to look at him for a while, and then asked playfully, "Hey brother, are you interested in sister Xiaoshi?"

    Cheng Yiyuan paused in his heart, pretending to be calm and said: "Nothing."

    "Then how do I remember, I asked you what kind of girl you like before, and you said that you like the one you were at the same table in elementary school. Isn't it Yan Xiaoshi!"

    "Kids, don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Yiyuan tilted his sister like he didn't want to discuss this topic with her.

    Yiyao didn't buy it, and said in a knowing tone: "Stop pretending in front of me!" She rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then, does sister Xiaoshi know?"

    Yiyuan sighed, and no longer deniedconfessed, but said with some loneliness: "I won't let her know."

    "Why?" Cheng Yiyao blinked her big round eyes, "If you don't tell her, how will you know what she thinks of you?"

    She suddenly became happy, and patted her brother's arm, "Hey brother, I think you are very good together!"

    Cheng Yiyuan's eyes staring at the road suddenly became a little hazy, as if he was looking at the distance of time, he pulled out a smile, containing the bitterness that his younger sister could not understand, and said softly: "There is no need for this."

    Yi Yao puffed his mouth and thought for a long time before he suddenly realized, and laughed at him, "I never thought that my brother is a coward! You must be afraid of being rejected if you don't dare to say it."

    "Think whatever you want," Yi Yuan said calmly, "I just don't want to cause her more troubles, and I don't want to destroy those beautiful memories."

    Cheng Yiyao clapped both hands, put them on his chin, and gave advice to his brother like a senior love expert: "Now, all you need is a suitable opportunity to confess your love." She smiled sweetly and proudly, like herself  I have seen the great opportunity, "If you like someone, you must tell him. Even if you are rejected, he knows your love. You have nothing to lose!"

    Cheng Yiyuan smiled but did not answer.  In the simple life trajectory of my sister, it has always been smooth sailing. She has never experienced the feeling of frustration, so she can be brave so easily.

    However, she will soon know how naive and ridiculous her ideal of love is!

    Xiaoshi took two buses and returned home. Downstairs in the apartment, he saw a thin figure sitting on the steps in front of the building, with his head lowered and his hands resting on his forehead, as if he was thinking or sleepy.

    Xiaoshi walked over and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

    As soon as Kang Ning heard the voice, he stood up immediately, looked at the woman who had been waiting for a long time with bright eyes, and asked cautiously: "You, where have you been? I have been waiting for you."

    The summer night was already hot, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, which looked like a layer of fluorescent light under the street lamps.

    Xiaoshi didn't answer him, but said politely: "Go up and sit down."

    After finishing speaking, she was about to walk into the corridor.  Kang Ning grabbed the shoulder strap of her backpack and said a little excitedly: "No, just here, I have a few words to tell you, it won't be very long, I can feel at ease after I say it!"

    Xiao Shi stopped and looked at him seriously.

    Kang Ning let go of the hand holding her backpack, rubbed her hands together, gritted her teeth, and said emotionally: "Xiaoshi, it's my fault. The things I said to you before I left were all temporary.  Angry words! I admit that I was thinking about it because I cared too much about you. That day, I actually regretted it as soon as I turned around, but I couldn¡¯t let it go, so I just bite the bullet and insisted on not contacting you. Don¡¯t you  I know, my heart is suffering to death! I can¡¯t sleep well every day, and I will think of you when I am free. I keep checking your circle of friends and checking WeChat and email repeatedly. It¡¯s like obsessive-compulsive disorder. Later, I couldn¡¯t bear it  I stopped, so I mustered up the courage to call you. As soon as I heard your voice, I felt an indescribable comfort in my heart. From that moment on, I knew that I couldn't let you go, and I couldn't let you go for the rest of my life  No matter how you treat me, whether you are lukewarm or indifferent, I will never leave you!"

    The more Kang Ning said, the more excited he became, "I really can't wait a day, I just want to see you right away, so I gave up the last training session and rushed back early. But I couldn't find you when I came back, I really  I'm going crazy! I've never experienced that feeling before, the special fear, the fear of losing you. Xiaoshi, I'm finding more and more that I really love you, and I can't live without you!" He put his hands together  On Xiaoshi's shoulder, he asked expectantly, "Let's start again, shall we?"

    Xiao Shi looked at the man in front of him, and seemed unable to digest what he said.

    At the beginning, he decided to separate for a while, let each other calm down, and think about whether this relationship still needs to continue.  Now it is so urgent to write off all the words and decisions that were said and made.  However, so many things happened in the middle, can it be written off?

    Time is not a movie film, just cut it and stitch it together.  What happened, exists forever, and what happened in the past is fixed.

    Seeing that Xiao Shi did not speak, Kang Ning became more and more anxious, and shook her hand gently on her shoulder, "Don't you want to? Why? Because of Zhou Shaoting? But he is already married, don't be stupid!"

    Xiaoshi lightly flicked his hand, and briefly denied: "No."

    "Why is that?" Kang Ning was frustrated, and began to test his conjectures, "Is it because of your father's illness? Do you think only Zhou Shaoting can help? Let me tell you, I can do it too! I met an expert in Japan this time.  If you have won an award internationally, I can arrange for your father to go to their hospital for treatment!"

    Xiaoshi looked at the paranoid man in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't laugh or cry, "What does this have to do with my father? Do you think I'm selling out my feelings for my father?"

    Kang Ning froze for a moment, and immediately softened with a sad face, "No, no, I said something wrong, I was wrong, it's my fault, everything is my fault!" He stared firmly at Xiao Shi, his gaze  Sincerely, "Give me another chance, okay?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com)?? Go to their hospital for treatment!  "

    Xiaoshi looked at the paranoid man in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't laugh or cry, "What does this have to do with my father? Do you think I'm selling out my feelings for my father?"

    Kang Ning froze for a moment, and immediately softened with a sad face, "No, no, I said something wrong, I was wrong, it was my fault, everything is my fault!" He stared firmly at Xiaoshi, his gaze  Sincerely, "Give me another chance, okay?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
