Xiao Yu stared blankly at her, seemingly unable to keep up.
“You…”
“Excuse me, could you move?”
Song Yuan used all the patience she had in her life, her expression already turning subtly unpleasant.
“Uh…”
Whoosh—
The motorcycle seemed to flash like lightning, accelerating and driving straight past him.
Xiao Yu: “…”
Zhao Xuan cautiously approached, looking at his young master. “That… she’s gone.”
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, trying to maintain a smile, and reached out to fix his hair. “I felt the tremor.”
At that speed, she must have been eager to leave.
The two returned to the car. Zhao Xuan casually glanced back and saw that the young master’s smile remained on his lips, though it was tinged with a hint of strangeness.
Zhao Xuan flinched, not daring to speak further.
Xiao Yu’s expression shifted, and he suddenly took out his phone. “Fourth Brother, where are you? I’m coming to see you.”
—
Song Yuan handed the USB drive to Xia Weiliang. “Be more alert next time you’re handling the snakes.”
Xia Weiliang said with immense relief, “It still has to be Brother Yuan!”
Xia Xiaoqiu was extremely admiring of Song Yuan, fetching tea and water, and serving her attentively.
Song Yuan took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, “Did Xiao Yi go to the Xiao family to seek justice for you?”
“Really? That exciting?” Xia Weiliang was amused. It wasn’t that she held grudges, but some people in the Xiao family really deserved a good lesson, not to be so self-important all day!
“On the way here, I ran into Xiao Yu.”
“Who is he?”
Even after two lifetimes, Xia Weiliang hadn’t recognized all the members of the Xiao family.
“Someone insignificant.”
Song Yuan usually didn’t pay much attention to such irrelevant people.
“Oh.” Xia Weiliang didn’t take it to heart, turning her head to focus on teaching Xiao Lan how to do sit-ups.
As a result, the next day, Xiao Yi arrived early in the morning.
“So early? Aren’t you sleeping?”
After receiving the call, she rushed out with her hair all messy.
Xiao Yi stood outside the community gate. There weren’t many people at this hour, and besides, the security guard at the gate, Xiao Xu, was one of their own. He had already taken it upon himself to stand guard and keep watch!
With a look that said, “Sister, you go on your date with peace of mind! I’ll handle the rest!” Xia Weiliang felt that the world was full of love.
Xiao Yi gestured for her to get into the car, then handed her breakfast, signaling to chat while eating.
Xia Weiliang happened to be hungry, so she didn’t stand on ceremony and sat right next to him to eat.
Xiao Yi stared at her, a smile appearing in his eyes. He handed her milk and then wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue. His doting gaze made Yan Zhi and Da Yang feel unbearable.
Could he like her this much?
He called them out here so early just to watch a girl eat breakfast?
Brother Yi, you are Brother Yi!
Even if you descend to the mortal world, there should be a process, right? You can’t just fall like this!
“You need something from me?”
Xia Weiliang understood him quite well. A glance was enough for her to tell if he truly needed something.
“Mhm.” Xiao Yi handed her a croissant. “I want to borrow someone from you.”
She froze. “Who?”
“Miss Song.”
“My Brother Yuan?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want her for?”
Xia Weiliang immediately looked at him guardedly. “My Brother Yuan is not a hired thug.”
Xiao Yi chuckled. “I’m not borrowing her to fight. But… you immediately thought of that, instead of something else?”
She knew what he meant. “If you really had feelings for Brother Yuan, you would say it directly. Why would you bother coming all this way and bringing me breakfast?”
He chuckled, staring at her. “So, you know me very well?”
“Uh…”
Xia Weiliang gave a dry laugh.
They hadn’t interacted much in this life, and although she knew him, there was no way to explain it!
“So, is it because of that dream again?”
Xiao Yi was genuinely curious about this dream. What kind of dream could make her know him so thoroughly?
Seeing that she was still just smiling sheepishly, he didn’t press further. Instead, he said, “It’s not me who wants to borrow Miss Song, it’s my sixth brother.”
Xia Weiliang suddenly realized. “Xiao Yu?”
He looked at her. “You know him?”
“Brother Yuan mentioned him yesterday, saying he ran into him on the way.”
Xiao Yi responded, “Then that’s right. He suddenly called me last night acting crazy, willing to owe me a favor just to get me to contact Miss Song for him.”
Hearing this, Xia Weiliang couldn’t help but become vigilant. “He’s not planning something, is he?”
Xiao Yi replied, “He has someone else in his heart.”
“Then why is he asking you to contact her?”
She silently added in her mind, what’s the difference between this and being a scumbag?
Xiao Yi looked at her and suddenly said, “Do you know that we are all half-brothers?”
“Uh, I’ve heard a little.”
This was their private matter, and Xia Weiliang hadn’t dared to ask too clearly before.
However, she had heard Chu Qiao mention that the seven gourd brothers of the Xiao family all had different mothers.
So—
This was where the emphasis should be, so! How capable was Father Xiao? Either he was too handsome or too much of a scumbag, with seven beautiful women willingly bearing children for him!
Xiao Yi noticed her awkwardness. He was unfazed. “Whatever he is, that’s his life. It has nothing to do with me, and I won’t become like him.”
As he spoke, he looked at her meaningfully.
Xia Weiliang nodded repeatedly. “That’s for sure! I trust Teacher Xiao’s character!”
Although her words were a bit too insincere, Xiao Yi was still pleased. He subtly curved his lips and said unhurriedly, “Xiao Yu is the same. Once he’s set on something, he won’t change. It’s just…”
He paused, then said, “It’s just that what he’s set on is only what he believes.”
Xia Weiliang snapped her fingers. “Got it.”
In other words, the person in Xiao Yu’s heart might not be his destined partner. If even Xiao Yi could see this, then Xiao Yu naturally knew it too and was unwilling to admit it.
Like first love, most people’s first loves don’t necessarily end up together. Just because you know this probability, can you avoid this first love and head straight for happiness?
Looking at her, Xiao Yi suddenly said, “But they never opposed me and you, nor did they think there would be any problems.”
Yan Zhi and Da Yang were ostensibly looking at their phones and playing games, but their ears were stretched out long.
They were extremely impressed by Brother Yi’s use of contrast in his speech.
So the essence of this speech was that no matter what others were like, he and Xia Weiliang were a match made in heaven!
Xia Weiliang also heard him and lowered her eyes, covering her mouth, not wanting to laugh too loudly for fear of appearing too proud. “Are you that sure?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yi replied very naturally. His tone sounded casual, but his gaze was as firm as rock. “Because I have good taste.”
What he chose was definitely the best.
