Return To 1998

At this moment, Xu Tongdao felt a little distressed for her inexplicably.

Obviously he has no personal relationship with her, let alone any relationship, but seeing her like this now makes him feel a little distressed.

Or... sympathy?

It should be sympathy!

When did you come? Xu Tongdao asked her with a smile, walking towards her as he asked.

Xi Xiaoqian bit her bloodless lips, forced a smile, and said in a low voice, Just here.

She lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't have the confidence to look at Xu Tongdao.

Come! Come and sit!

Xu Tongdao waved to her, then turned around and told Xu Tonglin, Lin Zi! Go! Pour us two cups of tea! Hurry up!

Ah, good! I'll go right now. Before Xu Tonglin left, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xi Xiaoqian again.

He had never seen such a downhearted Xi Xiaoqian before.

Ge Lianghua had no impression of Xi Xiaoqian. After all, when he was learning barbecue with Xu Tongdao, Xi Xiaoqian had already gone to study, because he didn't know what Xi Xiaoqian was like before, so he didn't think Xi Xiaoqian was like this at this time. What a strange look.

I'm just curious about this girl. I wonder what the relationship between this girl and Xu Tongdao is? At this time, I came to the door, why?

But he could see Xi Xiaoqian's embarrassment at this time, so he didn't ask anything, smiled lightly, and with a bit of curiosity, walked aside and found a chair to sit down.

Oh, thank you! Xi Xiaoqian thanked Xu Tongdao, lowered her head slightly, took a few steps forward, and found a table nearby to sit.

Tongdao Xu walked over and sat down opposite her.

Looking at her pale face, dark circles under her eyes, and slightly disheveled hair with mixed emotions, Tongdao Xu knew that she had become like this recently, probably because of her brother playing Dongyang.

How is your brother? he asked softly.

Xi Xiaoqian looked up at him and nodded slightly, It's okay, I'm out of danger, but I'm still hospitalized. The doctor said I'll be hospitalized for at least two weeks...

Tongdao Xu was looking at these words she said. From her expression, Tongdao Xu felt that she had not finished her words, and seemed to want to continue to say something, but when she was talking about it, she stopped.

That's good! Is there anything I can help you with? If so, just say so! If I can help, I will do my best!

He Xu Tongdao is not stone-hearted after all.

Not to mention that on the day Xi Dongyang was seriously injured, he helped to call an ambulance and call the police. He even went to the county hospital by bicycle to help him pay for his medical expenses. Afterwards, he went to Xi Dongyang's house to stay with Xi Dongyang's grandfather and grandmother. Under a thousand dollars.

Just talking about Xiaoqian's dejected appearance in front of him, he felt a little distressed and wanted to help her.

Tongdao Xu's impression of her is different from that of Xi Dongyang.

From the very beginning, when he first saw Xi Xiaoqian, he felt that this girl was very good, good-looking, young and able to endure hardships. She helped her brother greet guests, collect dishes, and wipe tables. She had to turn around, but her body was always clean, especially the shoes on her feet. No matter what color they were, every time he saw the shoes on her feet, they were so spotless.

He likes good-looking, hard-working, hard-working, and clean girls.

Loved it since childhood.

But he had never had such a girl himself.

So when I saw her for the first time, Tongdao Xu had a good impression of her.

That kind of favor may not be to chase after her, to be more precise, it may be appreciation.

In contrast, his initial impression of her brother's play Dongyang was much worse.

Xi Dongyang is very indifferent. He looks at people like a snake, and his eyes are always indifferent.

Moreover, when Xi Xiaoqian suddenly approached him and Xu Tonglin and begged them to set up a stall in another street, he guessed that Xi Dongyang might want to do something to them.

Moreover, it should be because he wanted to be ruthless, so Xi Xiaoqian came to beg them to move out of that street.

Let me ask: How could Xu Tongdao have a good impression of a person like Xi Dongyang?

If it wasn't for his Xu Tongdao taking the initiative to give in and using his partner's Huairou method to temporarily stabilize Xi Dongyang, he and Xi Dongyang might have forged a blood feud long ago.

Although later, with his understanding of Xi Dongyang's family background, he can gradually understand Xi Dongyang, and his impression of Xi Dongyang has changed slightly.

But only slightly changed.

In his Xu Tongdao's heart, Xi Dongyang was never his friend.

It just eliminated the hostility to Xi Dongyang.

...

Hearing this, Xi Xiaoqian raised her head to look at Tongdao Xu. This time, she didn't take her eyes back or lowered her head any more. She smiled slightly and said softly, Thank you! Xiao Xu, thank you very much. God gave my grandpa and grandma the thousand dollars, they gave it to me, thank you very much.

Having said that, she bit her lip again and said hesitantly, However, can you, can you give me some more money? My, my family is out of money, my grandfather... He is actually sick again at this time, my, my family My relatives have not been in contact with my family for many years, and I, I have asked them to lend, but they are unwilling to lend to me...

Speaking of this, her eyes became more and more red, and tears rolled out of her eyes.

The smile on Xu Tongdao's face disappeared.

His brows also furrowed.

Hearing her so wronged, seeing her cry at close range, he moved his right hand on the table, he subconsciously wanted to help her wipe the tears from her face, if it was before rebirth, he would control his impulse , because at that time he was not confident and did not allow himself to have so much sympathy.

After all, he himself lived a very difficult life at that time, and he would definitely not easily help others.

but now……

His instinct made his raised right hand stop for a second, while his heart made the hand he had just stopped stretched over again, gently wiping the tears from her face, Xi Xiaoqian subconsciously avoided it. , but the tears she just shed have been wiped away by Xu Tongdao.

Tongdao Xu didn't mean to tease her.

how much money do you need?

He had a lot of money to open the store. He originally planned to rent three stores, but now he only rented two. Although he extended the lease with Fang Dongfang and spent several thousand yuan, he still had a surplus of funds.

Two or a thousand lines?

She probably wanted to say two thousand, but temporarily changed her tune and said one thousand.

Xu Tongdao noticed, he nodded and said, Okay, do you want it now?

Xi Xiaoqian was dumbfounded and stared at Tongdao Xu. His answer seemed to be far beyond her expectations. Maybe she came to him today without any hope, just a desperate attempt.

Tears suddenly rolled out of her eyes, but a happy smile bloomed on her face. She pursed her lips tightly, stood up in a hurry, and bowed to Tongdao Xu to express her gratitude, Thank you, thank you! Thank you very much, don't worry, I If I borrow your money, I will definitely pay you back! Don't worry about this, I promise I will pay you back, really!

She spoke incoherently and looked excited.

Tongdao Xu got up with a smile, Don't be so polite! Do you want the money now?

Xi Xiaoqian nodded quickly, Well, well, it's best if you can give it to me right away, thank you, I really appreciate it!
