After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

Jiang Xuehe's compliment was sincere, and Yan Guiqiu blushed a little after being praised, but he couldn't help but feel elated.

She finally stopped entangled too much, and turned to ask the shop assistant to pack the clothes.

"Do you want to wear this set?" the clerk asked.

"No." Yan Guiqiu glanced back, pointed to a few more clothes, all of which Jiang Xuehe had praised before, and said, "Including these, pack them all up, and I'll just swipe the card."

The clerk was taken aback for a moment, then smiled from ear to ear, nodded quickly, and turned to get the clothes.

"Let's go to eat first." Yan Guiqiu turned to Jiang Xuehe and suggested, "Come down when you have free time after dinner."

At the other end of the same floor where clothes are sold, there are restaurants, and there are more restaurants on the upper floor.

Jiang Xuehe nodded, Yan Guiqiu went to the front desk to check out, and said to leave the clothes in the store first, and come back to pick them up after dinner, the clerk naturally said yes again and again.

When Yan Guiqiu turned around and came out, he saw Jiang Xuehe looking at somewhere outside in a daze.

"Sister Xuehe?" Yan Guiqiu called out.

"Huh?" Jiang Xuehe turned to look at her, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, come back later after eating." Yan Guiqiu asked again, "What did you see just now?"

"My brother." Jiang Xuehe said, "and Tan Xiangxi."

She talked and smiled, but she didn't seem to care too much, she just said, "Let's go to the other side."

Yan Guiqiu followed her previous line of sight for a look, and didn't ask any further questions, just smiled and said yes.

Tan Xiangxi turned her head subconsciously, and saw Yan Guiqiu walking forward holding Jiang Xuehe's arm.

From her point of view, you can see the profiles of the two of them. They both have smiles on their faces and seem to be in a good mood.

However, when Tan Xiangxi saw her, she felt a tingle in her heart.

In her previous life, she had never seen Jiang Xuehe smile like that at anyone, let alone allow others to get close to her, even hugging her arm affectionately, snuggling up to her side.

The same goes for Yan Guiqiu.

The "Yan Guiqiu" in the previous life was very kind to her, so good that he cared about everything and devoted everything to her. However, she was always used to frowning and lowered her posture when facing Tan Xiangxi, not to the point of being flattering, but also It can make people easily perceive the cautiousness in it.

When he was with Tan Xiangxi, "Yan Guiqiu" never laughed out loud, and when he was not in front of her, he kept a cold face from the beginning to the end.

Besides Tan Xiangxi, who approached "Yan Guiqiu", she never saw anyone else.

It was only at this moment that Qin Xiangxi suddenly realized——

It seems that she has never delved into why "Swan Goose Returns to Autumn" turned into the appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

How much did her mother's death affect her?

How is the family's relationship with her?

How much has she worked hard for the family business?

……

How much did she pay for herself?

She doesn't know all about it.

At that time, Tan Xiangxi put all her thoughts on Jiang Xuehe, and didn't give any attention to "Yan Guiqiu" who was silently guarding behind her. Naturally, she had no way of knowing the answers to those questions.

It wasn't until this moment that Tan Xiangxi realized that Yan Guiqiu could be her ordinary student so easily and happily.

When Tan Xiangxi realized those questions, she had already lost the chance to explore the answers.

"What's wrong? Don't you like this one?" Jiang Xueyang's voice came from beside him, "Then let's change to another one?"

When Tan Xiangxi came back to his senses, Jiang Xueyang had already turned around and was about to leave.

"No, no need." Tan Xiangxi said quickly, "This one is pretty good. I, I just thought I saw someone I knew."

"Is it your classmate?" Jiang Xueyang asked.

"No, it's not." Tan Xiangxi subconsciously turned her head and glanced over there again, and Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe had disappeared, as if the glance just now was just her illusion.

"Maybe I was wrong." Tan Xiangxi looked away in a daze, forced the corners of his mouth to smile at Jiang Xueyang.

The waiter at the door asked how many of them were there, and then took them into a separate private room at Jiang Xueyang's request.

Jiang Xueyang doesn't really like this kind of "low-end" restaurant, not really looking down on the dishes, but he has some thoughts on Tan Xiangxi, and naturally wants to show his strength in all aspects, like a peacock spreading its tail.

According to his own opinion, at least he has to go to the kind of high-end restaurants that need to be booked a few days in advance.

But Tan Xiangxi told him that he didn't need to spend too much money, just go to a nearby shopping mall.

In the name of apologizing, Jiang Xueyang managed to ask someone out, but he reluctantly nodded in agreement, and then turned around and picked the one with the highest average spending.

The waiter led the way, and Jiang Xueyang stretched out his hand to ask Tan Xiangxi to go ahead.

Tan Xiangxi subconsciously grasped the bag in his hand, and tried to raise the corners of his mouth to show a smile, but his heart was in a mess.

She's not really a little girl who can't understand anything.

At least Jiang Xueyang... She couldn't be more familiar with such eyes.

In the previous life, Jiang Xueyang mistakenly thought that Tan Xiangxi was also interested in him, so he launched a fierce pursuit. Tan Xiangxi waited for Jiang Xuehe to change his mind but could not, so he accepted Jiang Xueyang's invitation in a fit of anger.

I thought that Jiang Xueyang would get tired of her soon, but he became more enthusiastic as the time passed.

Before the Jiang family had any problems, that is, before they started quarreling and divorced, Jiang Xueyang always looked at her so eagerly, giving people an affectionate feeling.

The longer we spent together, the more intense the emotion in his eyes became, and he almost responded to her requests.

It's funny to say that they are brothers and sisters who are related by blood, but one is as cold as ice to her, like a stone that has not been warmed for more than ten years, while the other has a deep affection for her and cares for her in every possible way.

In the past, Tan Xiangxi only used him as a tool to stimulate Jiang Xuehe, but in the end he was a little bit hard to ride a tiger. Coupled with Mrs. Jiang's accusations, she really felt a little bit guilty.

If Qin Xiangxi said who she was most sorry for in her previous life, Jiang Xueyang might be the only one she could think of.

If she did it all over again, she would definitely not accept Jiang Xueyang's confession again, but stay as far away from him as possible.

Since her previous life, Tan Xiangxi has often had such thoughts.

However, if there was a chance to do it all over again, everyone else and everything else changed, only Jiang Xueyang, after seeing her, still had the familiar eagerness on his face.

"familiar".

These two words almost made Tan Xiangxi have the urge to cry.

So when Jiang Xueyang came to invite her, she wavered uncontrollably.

The waiter delivered the menu and brought the tea, and then exited first and waited at the door.

Jiang Xueyang flipped through the menu, not forgetting to ask Tan Xiangxi about his taste.

It wasn't until the dishes ordered came to the table one after another that Tan Xiangxi gradually relaxed.

Jiang Xueyang has been paying attention to her expression, and when he sees this, he strikes while the iron is hot, saying: "My flight has been cancelled, and I won't be able to leave until tomorrow afternoon, but my sister has already left early, and I'm not familiar with the place here alone, I don't know Do you have the honor to ask Miss Qin to be my guide in your spare time, so that I can treat you to dinner tomorrow to thank you."

Tan Xiangxi was picking up a shrimp in front of him when he heard this, he inevitably froze for a second.

But she quickly came back to her senses, lowered her head, and said slowly, "Okay."

She didn't need to raise her head to look, she could imagine the ecstasy on Jiang Xueyang's face.

"Then tonight..." Jiang Xueyang was still thinking about it.

"I'm fine at night..." Tan Xiangxi whispered, "But I have to go back to school for rehearsal in the afternoon, and it won't end until four o'clock in the afternoon."

Jiang Xueyang only cared about being happy, so naturally he wouldn't mind this little problem, and as if afraid that she would disagree, he immediately made a decision: "Then I'll pick you up from school in the afternoon."

Tan Xiangxi nodded, feeling a little guilty involuntarily, but at the same time feeling a little relieved.

After eating, Jiang Xueyang knew that Tan Xiangxi still had to rehearse, so naturally he didn't force her to stay longer, but sent her to school considerately.

Worried that she would mind being seen, he deliberately parked the car at a quieter intersection ahead of time.

After Tan Xiangxi got out of the car, she didn't dare to turn her head, and walked back to school slowly with stiff hands and feet.

She went back to the dormitory first.

The roommates also have other rehearsal activities, and they are almost not in the dormitory these two days.

The dormitory was empty, and Tan Xiangxi was the only one left. After dealing with her parents who made several phone calls asking about the situation, she slowly slid along the door and sat on the ground, burying her face in her knees.

The mobile phone "slapped" from the powerless palm and fell to the ground.

Tan Xiangxi was startled, and after a long time, he slowly curled up into a ball, covered his face with his hands, and couldn't help crying.

When Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe got off the plane, it was already dark outside.

Jiang's family lives in Yanling City, and Jiang's headquarters is also located here.

However, Jiang Xuehe's parents' home is in the west of the city, while Mr. Jiang's house is outside the urban area, in the eastern suburbs, near the border with neighboring cities.

It takes a lot of time to go back and forth between the two sides.

But before coming, Jiang Xuehe had already told his parents that he would go back to live at night, but Jiang Xueyang didn't come back, so Jiang's father sent his assistant to pick them up.

Compared to Ningcheng, Yanling looks like a bustling metropolis, with high-rise buildings as far as the eye can see. At night, the lights are lit up everywhere, and there are no stars in the sky except the moon.

Yan Guiqiu pointed to the tall building next to him and asked Jiang Xuehe, but Jiang Xuehe looked even more dazed than she was.

"I haven't been back for almost six years." Jiang Xuehe said.

She also felt a little strange looking at the street scene outside.

Before she left Yanling, there were not so many high-rise buildings here.

"It looks like there are a lot more people than before." Jiang Xuehe slowly looked away as he spoke, and lowered his head to play with the fingers of the person next to him.

The car was motionless, only tall buildings could be seen outside, and there was nothing too unusual, which quickly made people lose interest.

At this time, it was the rush hour for getting off work, and the driver was so skilled that he was stuck in traffic for two hours before arriving at Jiang's villa.

The location is still within the urban area, and the surrounding area is a wealthy area at first glance, as if stepping into another world at once, the road is much smoother and wider.

At first glance, the Jiang family's villa was as big as two of the Yan family's. The driver sent them home and did not leave directly. Instead, he helped them carry them as a salute, and entered the house together.

The nanny of Jiang's family was guarding the door. She didn't look very old, she looked about 50 years old, but she obviously stayed in Jiang's house for a long time. When she saw Jiang Xuehe, she looked even older than her own mother. So affectionate, tears were wiped away.

Since Jiang Xuehe went abroad, this was the first time she stepped into the house.

The nanny took Jiang Xuehe's hand and looked her up and down for a long time, saying "thinner", "taller" and "beautiful" while wiping away tears, and led her and Yan Guiqiu in.

"This is Miss Yan, she looks so beautiful." The aunt did not neglect Yan Guiqiu who was next to her, she almost praised her from head to toe.

There was no one else in the living room, and the driver was walking upstairs with a suitcase.

The aunt said next to her: "Miss Xuehe's room is still the same one, and Miss Yan's room is in the guest room next to Miss Xuehe's. I'll take you up after dinner. If there is anything missing, just tell Xiaozhu. "

Some heat can be seen vaguely in the restaurant, probably because someone is already cooking in it.

But that obviously couldn't be Father Jiang or Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Xuehe asked, "Where's my mother?"

"My wife is sleeping upstairs. In the past two days, she has been in a bad mood and has been suffering from insomnia. She only slept for a while in the afternoon. I didn't dare to call her." The aunt added, "But Miss Xuehe, your room is all in your own room. Arranged, she has been looking forward to your return for the past two days."

Jiang Xuehe let out a "hmm", unable to tell whether he was happy or not.

Jiang's father was working overtime at the company, and his assistant had already explained when he picked them up that he probably would be back later, so he asked them to eat first.

Although I didn't take them to a high-end hotel to pick up the wind and clean up the dust, but I also specially invited the chef from the hotel to cook the dinner, not intentionally to neglect them.

Needless to say, Jiang Xueyang would rather put off work, and is probably still talking about romance in Yunhua City now.

In this way, there are only three people left to eat.

Among them, Mrs. Jiang didn't know if she could still get up.

The aunt also felt that it was not very good, so she couldn't help asking: "Why don't I go up and ask my wife to come down now?"

Jiang Xuehe shook his head and said: "No need, since she is tired, let her have a good rest, Guiqiu and I can just eat a little, she and I don't need to be so polite."

Auntie turned to look at Yan Guiqiu, and Yan Guiqiu naturally nodded.

With Mrs. Jiang around, she would be more restrained. If she only asked about her heart, she would not be willing to deal with Mrs. Jiang.

Seeing this, Auntie gave up and went to the kitchen to ask the chef to serve some of it first, and told Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu to have dinner first.

After all, the two of them came back from a long journey, so it's not easy to make them wait with empty stomachs.

Regardless of the other things, at least the chef's dishes are still very sincere. Although Jiang Xuehe said that the two of them can't eat so much and asked the aunt to take less, the dishes with reduced portions are still quite a lot. A table full of beautiful things in eyes.

The pomp is more than enough.

"Now I believe that you really lived like a princess before." Yan Guiqiu complained to Jiang Xuehe in a low voice.

Not to mention anything else, Jiang Xuehe would definitely not be treated badly in terms of material things.

Yan Guiqiu then asked again: "Isn't it the same with your grandfather?"

Jiang Xuehe smiled helplessly, and said, "At least the guests should not be kept waiting."

Although Yan Guiqiu definitely didn't care about such a trivial matter, Jiang Xuehe still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Her parents put on a full-fledged style, but their actual attitude was completely contemptuous and indifferent.

Yan Guiqiu didn't feel anything, but Jiang Xuehe was already feeling a little uncomfortable.

But they didn't really come back to be guests, and they came back to stay for one night to save the family's face, so as not to make too much embarrassment by talking about it, and cause some unnecessary troubles later.

"Let's stay at the old house tomorrow." Jiang Xuehe said, "It happens to be closer to the airport."

Yan Guiqiu nodded and had no objection.

For the Jiang family's affairs, she naturally left it to Jiang Xuehe to decide.

Jiang Xuehe would never let her suffer.

After the two finished their dinner, Mrs. Jiang was still sleeping upstairs, and there was no one there.

Jiang Xuehe didn't ask his aunt to call her again, but only told her to have a good rest, and took Yan Guiqiu back to the room.

The rooms of the two are close to each other, both are large rooms facing south, but Yan Guiqiu's room is closer to the end of the corridor.

Yan Guiqiu only had time to peek into the guest room prepared for her before being pulled into her own room by Jiang Xuehe.

To Yan Guiqiu's surprise, Jiang Xuehe's room was decorated in a cozy way.

There are plush blankets on the floor, simple and cute patterns printed on the curtains and quilt covers, pen holders and table lamps on the desk. There are also a few pots of green plants as decorations on the window sills and in every corner of the room. They are all very good, and the green color makes people feel more comfortable when they look at them.

There is also a piano in the corner of the room, and there are picture frames hanging on the wall, which looks full of artistic atmosphere.

But Yan Guiqiu somehow feels that the style of the room is not quite similar to that of Jiang Xuehe himself.

Jiang Xuehe glanced at the pen holder on the table, it looked like a cartoon pony from the side, which was consistent with her zodiac sign, but it wasn't something she liked.

"My mother probably bought it later." Jiang Xuehe explained, "When I first went to college, I wanted to go out and live independently, so I moved a lot of things, bought another apartment outside, and then moved again before going abroad. , Throw away a lot, and the rest are deposited with my cousin."

Her room in Jiang's house was already empty, and some of the things she didn't take away were things she didn't think she needed.

Now this room can only be bought by Mrs. Jiang according to her own preferences.

Jiang Xuehe also felt a little awkward looking at it, but thinking about staying only one night, he didn't say anything else.

"Just one night first." Jiang Xuehe said to Yan Guiqiu, "I'll take you to grandpa's place tomorrow morning. He won't be going to the company tomorrow. There may be other cousins ​​who will be there too. You can go there and say hello." That's fine, don't worry about anything else, I'm here."

Yan Guiqiu nodded and said, "Well, I believe in you."

Jiang Xuehe's heart relaxed, and he finally felt better. He reached out and stroked Yan Guiqiu's hair, and said, "Go take a shower first, and I'll bring your luggage for you."

There was no need to bring such a big suitcase for a two-day short-distance visit. Except for clothes and some daily necessities, the rest were some special products of Yunhua City, some of which were reserved for Jiang's father and Mrs. Jiang as a gift. No chance to take it out.

Jiang Xuehe picked out a part and put it aside, ready to hand it over to his aunt.

If they left early tomorrow, they might not be able to run into Mrs. Jiang again.

Jiang Xuehe talked to Yan Guiqiu, and went out to find the aunt downstairs. Not long after she went down the stairs, she heard movement from the door, and subconsciously looked up.

Father Jiang was taking off his coat and handing it to his assistant, when he looked up and saw Jiang Xuehe, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xuehe called "Dad" and greeted him.

"I'm back." Father Jiang came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and asked again, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Jiang Xuehe nodded and said, "I'm going to sleep later."

Jiang's father explained: "The company was busy with meetings, and your brother got stuck because of something, so he couldn't come back, so the time dragged on for a long time."

This is to say that he didn't mean to be negligent, and he really couldn't get away because of something.

As he spoke, he scanned the living room, looked around Jiang Xuehe, and asked, "Where's your mother?"

Jiang Xuehe said, "It seems to be still sleeping."

The nanny aunt who had just finished packing happened to come out and explained to Father Jiang that Mrs. Jiang had insomnia recently and she didn't dare to wake her up when she fell asleep in the afternoon. Father Jiang raised his hand and interrupted her before he finished listening.

"I know, it's a good thing to fall asleep. Then don't disturb her rest, I'll go up and have a look later. She has been wronged recently, and she has been in a bad mood. She hasn't been able to sleep all night for the past two days, but It's not good to take medicine, and I finally fell asleep, so don't bother her."

The second half of the conversation was with Jiang Xuehe.

Jiang's father had already had dinner when he was at the company, left his briefcase behind, and after giving instructions to his assistant, he went upstairs without even looking at the dishes on the restaurant table.

When passing by Jiang Xuehe, he remembered to ask, "Where's that... friend you brought back?"

Jiang Xuehe paused indistinctly for a moment, and said, "She just fell asleep."

Naturally, it is not good to call the guests up to say hello.

Father Jiang asked casually, but didn't say anything, he nodded perfunctorily, told his daughter to go to bed early, and then passed her upstairs.

When Jiang Xuehe went back after talking to the nanny about the special products, Yan Guiqiu had already finished taking a shower and was blowing his hair.

Jiang Xuehe couldn't hear the voice of speaking through the wind, so Jiang Xuehe gestured to her and went to take a bath first.

When Jiang Xuehe came out, Yan Guiqiu was already sitting on the bed and started playing with his mobile phone.

Hearing Jiang Xuehe coming out, Yan Guiqiu put down her phone and volunteered to pick up a hair dryer to help her dry her hair.

The closer the distance, the more natural and clear the voice of the speech.

Jiang Xuehe told Yan Guiqiu about Jiang's father's return just now.

Even if it was an excuse, it was a more reasonable and acceptable excuse.

Yan Guiqiu knew what she meant, and while combing her hair from head to tail with his fingers, he said, "I don't feel wronged, and they have nothing to do with me. I only feel sorry for you being wronged."

Jiang Xuehe stretched out his hand to grab Yan Guiqiu's hand, as if he had been hit by something invisible in the bottom of his heart, sour and astringent, as if he had been wronged.

She closed her eyes, and when she heard the wind stop, she could still feel the warmth of Yan Guiqiu's palm.

It wasn't until bedtime that the two had a little disagreement.

"Actually, it's fine for me to sleep next door. I just saw that it's clean and tidy over there." Yan Guiqiu looked at the big bed beside him. The previous memories flipped back and forth in his mind a few times, but he still couldn't hold back. He said tactfully, "After all, it's at your parents' house. If something happens, it's not good."

Jiang Xuehe slightly raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a slight smile, and asked, "What do you want to make a fuss about?"

It sounds like Yan Guiqiu can't wait.

"..." Yan Guiqiu silently closed his mouth, and he couldn't help but say after a long while: "What if your parents bump into you tomorrow morning... only come home once in a while, sister Xuehe is not a child anymore, is it Are you still afraid of ghosts?"

"Not afraid." Jiang Xuehe shook his head.

"Then..." I left first.

Before Yan Guiqiu could finish his sentence, Jiang Xuehe suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms.

The warm breath hit him, and Yan Guiqiu was so nervous that he subconsciously closed his eyes, but nothing happened.

Jiang Xuehe just hugged her so quietly, the only action that could be considered out of line was to bury his face into Yan Guiqiu's shoulder and neck.

His back bent slightly as if he was tired, half of his body weight was on Yan Guiqiu's body.

Yan Guiqiu stopped struggling, paused for a moment, and then called out worriedly: "Sister Xuehe?"

"Just stay here with me tonight, okay?" Jiang Xuehe whispered to her, his voice muffled through the clothes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep here alone."
