On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

When we met again, it seemed as if there was no barrier between us.

Many things are tacitly agreed upon.

Chu Xixi has never made soup for anyone else, of course, except for that "old friend" who has gradually drifted away.

She patiently brought out a bowl of soup, which exuded an appetizing aroma. "Try my new soup and see if it suits your taste."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Yuanmo laughed muffledly, and the smile between his eyebrows seemed to be lamenting the tricks of fate.

"Try it." She looked at him with her bright eyes, lively and full of expectation.

"Okay." Xu Yuanmo slowly drank a mouthful of the hot soup. The warm liquid flowed beautifully and naturally along the spoon on the tip of his tongue, like a stream of sweet spring water flowing into his heart, leaving him with an endless aftertaste. "You did a great job."

"This is the soup you usually drink." Chu Xixi picked up the spoon and took a sip. Her eyes seemed to express directly, "This taste is a bit nostalgic."

"If you like it, I can make it for you in the future." There seemed to be a hidden meaning in his smile, but the festive atmosphere was not broken by this little thing.

Gradually, the warm winter sun began to shine throughout the room.

"Shall we go out for a walk?" she suggested, looking more relaxed than ever before.

A hint of excitement and joy flashed in the young man's crystal clear eyes. It turned out that he could look at the person in front of him so closely and calmly.

He happily replied, "Okay."

Then the two of them walked hand in hand on the road like elementary school students.

A gentle breeze blew across the city, gradually bringing the sound of their footsteps and breathing together.

The setting sun behind was like a dream, and Chu Xixi's profile looked more fascinating than the whole sun in the twilight.

They came to Century Square to observe the latest architectural concepts and model installations.

The afterglow of the setting sun quietly faded away, as if it was reluctant to leave this place.

There are stars dotted above the city, and the whole city is shrouded in hazy light and shadow.

He looked towards the French window, where she was the protagonist, because her shadow was reflected in the glass.

When the plane arrived in the city at dawn, a panic of struggle and loneliness almost overwhelmed her. With the constant relocation of her adoptive parents and cultural experiencers, the vast sky outside the city became her most anxious journey.

"Oh, is this our Xixi back?" The teacher who met her at the airport smiled innocently and gave Xixi a warm hug. "Wow, it's still Chu Xixi who exudes confidence anytime and anywhere--"

Xixi's face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to touch her forehead, "Uh, teacher? Are you sick?"

"Do you think the teacher looks like a sick cute dog?"

"No..." Xixi shook her head solemnly, "The more I look at it, the more it looks like it."

Amidst bursts of laughter, she and the teacher quickly left the rest area.

"Yeah, you look good. You've learned to be talkative and you've lost weight."

"What have you been doing these days? You haven't written us a few letters, and I haven't even seen any information on the Internet."

"College students nowadays are really...ah...I used to be patient enough to write my memoirs even though I had to take an hour to finish my homework. You guys, please at least write a letter. The complaints from this little old lady have already annoyed me, the teacher. You are so energetic but not proactive—"

"Take out the word 'no'." The teacher wrote seriously, "We Xixi are very active."

The teacher didn't ask her about the ins and outs of those things, nor did he ask about some people with ulterior motives and what it was like to do some design-related things. However, under Xu Yuanmo's instruction, I began to pay more attention to the current situation in the industry.

She brought three students with her and started monthly cooperation and discussion. Xu Yuanmo's wealth and power station allowed her to start a new planning and explanation, which was well received. Of course, this also brought her different degrees of closeness.

Chu Xixi thought about it and came to a cooperative organization to ask for some information. "Hello, I want to ask for more details about the recent architectural design competition held in Jincheng."

She was about to complete the handover of the cooperative organization, and she felt exhausted from the hard work during this period. But being able to have a good and hearty dinner made everything so happy.

Xu Yuanmo moved his chair slightly outward so that she could communicate with him more closely; knowing that she was too lazy to put down more things, he handed her chopsticks to pick up the dishes and peeled the shrimp meat and put it into her bowl at the right time; knowing that she was overthinking, he changed the topic to avoid all the troubles in her mood.

Xu Yuanmo was much more considerate than she had imagined. After being with him for such a long time, she didn't seem to get bored at all...

No, Chu Xixi thought to herself, what's wrong? Don't you know the big picture? Why are you still enjoying yourself over little things?

She didn't know what she was thinking about, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. When Xu Yuanmo picked up a piece of asparagus and put it in her bowl, she raised her head and answered the question that had been buried for a long time:

"When are we going home? To see my family?"

"Because we just finished dinner, and Xixi likes sweets, so aren't we going to have dessert?" Xu Yuanmo was still warm, looking at the neon lights outside.

"Why do you seem to have other plans?"

"Next Sunday, my mother is going to a dance on Saturday, I want to take a day off, so I plan to go back on Sunday." The male protagonist put his mouth close to the female protagonist's ear and whispered, "If you go back too early, I'm afraid you will be annoyed by my mother's overly enthusiastic hospitality."

"So mother is hoping that I can go back more often when I have time?"

"Of course." The male protagonist nodded.

She suddenly stopped thinking about other things and felt excited...she had a chance to see her mother.

"They are finally here. I thought you were too busy with the competition and forgot to keep the appointment!" Song Yian smiled cynically. Seeing the two of them, the smile on his face became even bigger. He walked behind them and patted Chu Xixi on the shoulder. "Xixi, you are here. It's been so long since we last met. Do you have any good news to announce to us?"

Chu Xixi blinked, a blush on her face. "We haven't seen each other for so long, and you tease me as soon as we meet."

"You are indeed the most handsome boy in the school. Just by looking at your thick skin, you are enough to make people look at you differently! Unlike our Xixi, who looks like a little white flower when standing next to you. You will feel guilty if you look at her for a few more times." Cheng Yaoyao came to her and gave her a big hug. "Xixi, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Xixi was a little emotional, her eyes slightly red. Facing this outspoken girl who always stood up for justice for friendship, she really had nothing to say.

Pulling Cheng Yaoyao, she smiled. After a brief greeting, Xixi sat down. Cheng Yaoyao talked a lot to her. After she sat down, she spoke a few words, as if all the words she had said in the past few days were piled up and she wanted to finish them all at once.

"Xixi, is there any vacancy in your studio? I want to see you dance again." She said, laughing wildly.

Xixi tilted her head and smiled slightly, "You can do whatever you want today. Anyway, I don't have as much to do as you, so I have plenty of time to go crazy with you."

Chu Xixi was just listening at first, but she became more and more excited as the conversation went on. She could no longer hold back the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for more than twenty days, and she kept speaking them out.

"Xixi, you are so awesome. Your studio has received so many people today. I really admire you! How can I be one-tenth as awesome as you?" She said with a smile, and the sense of self-consciousness and helplessness she had just felt disappeared completely.
