They stayed in the milk tea shop for a long time.
Huoyan's cell phone suddenly rang, and she answered: "Hello, mom."
A woman's gentle voice came over the phone: "baby, where are you? Do you want to go shopping with your mother?"
"Er... I'm out with my classmates. Mom, where are you?"
"I'm in the central square. Is it far from you?"
"Not very far."
Chu Xi said, "Yan'er, go shopping with your aunt. I'm home."
"Are you going back?"
"Yes." Chu Xi nods.
"All right." Huo Yan said, "Mom, please pick me up at 711 Huaguang road. There is a milk tea shop here."
"OK, I'll go."
"Will aunt come to pick you up?" Chu Xi asked.
"Well, it's estimated that you'll be there in ten minutes. Go ahead, come on, and try to take down brother Chu Feng."
"When aunt comes, let's go together."
"All right."
After about ten minutes, Mrs. Huo arrived at the milk tea shop.
"Baby, mom is here."
Huo Yan was embarrassed. "Mom, don't call me that outside."
Mrs. Huo chuckled: "what's the matter? You are my mother's baby."
Huo Yan looked at Chu Xi. "Mom, this is my classmate and my good friend. I told you about Chu Xi before."
Mrs. Huo looked at the girl and said with a warm smile, "this is Chu Xi. She is so beautiful."
"Hello, aunt." Chu Xi said hello.
"Chu Xi, go shopping with my aunt and Yan'er. In the evening, my aunt invites you to eat delicious food."
"No, aunt, I'm going home."
"Mom, Xiao Xi has to go home. Her brother is waiting for her."
"Oh, well, next time."
"Good bye, aunt."
Chu Xi took a taxi and left alone.
Looking at the pedestrians outside the window, Chu Xi suddenly felt lonely.
It was the first time for her to meet Mrs. Huo. She even called Huoyan "baby". It can be seen that she loved her daughter very much.
Huoyan has a good mother.
But the title "mother" and the role never appeared in her life.
She was an orphan since childhood. She didn't know who her parents were or what it was like to be loved by her parents.
The only thing she has is Chu Feng, a brother who has no blood relationship with him.
He is her only, her whole world.
She was too careful not to break the relationship easily. She was afraid of losing him.
Back home, Chu Feng was there.
"Brother, I'm back."
Chu Feng was sitting on the sofa, reading an economic book in his hand. After a while, he looked up at her: "HMM."
Chu Xi walked to him and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "brother, you said you had something to say. What do you want?"
Chu Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said faintly, "nothing. I won't say anything."
"Ah?" Chu Xi looked at him blankly and almost asked why.
Thinking of directly asking no, she immediately closed her mouth, but whispered in her heart, why did he suddenly stop talking?
Don't you care?
Or don't you want to pierce this layer of window paper and keep the status quo?
After thinking about it, she felt that there was nothing wrong with maintaining the status quo. It was better than being rejected or being forced to separate.
Chu Feng suddenly turned to look at the girl: "what's the look? Do you want me to say something? Or do you want to say something to me?"
"No. You... You seem to have something on your face." With that, Chu Xi stretched out his index finger and rubbed it against his cheek. Then he said, "it's gone now."
