Shi Xin Xin paused slightly, then nodded, "That's what I was thinking."
"Alright, alright, then you go ahead and pack!" Mother Ye smiled happily, then looked at Shi Xin Xin's parents, "Old man, old man, come see who's here!"
"Oh, coming!"
Father Shi and Mother Shi arrived in the living room together. When they saw Shi Xin Xin, they were also stunned.
Upon seeing her parents, Shi Xin Xin quickly called out, "Uncle, Aunt."
Father Shi and Mother Shi came back to their senses, a hint of joy appearing on their faces. They quickly invited Shi Xin Xin over, "Oh, Xin Xin is here, come sit. It must have been a long journey to see us so late."
"It's alright, I'm happy to do this, as long as Uncle and Aunt don't mind."
"Of course not, of course not," Mother Shi waved her hands repeatedly, then called out, "Come, Xin Xin, sit. We'll go take a shower and sleep, and then we'll go grocery shopping."
"Okay."
Shi Xin Xin nodded, and under the hospitality of Father and Mother Shi, she walked into the bedroom.
Although Father and Mother Shi's house was simple, it was very warm. Shi Xin Xin felt a wave of emotion as she looked around.
Lying on the bed, Shi Xin Xin couldn't stop thinking about what had happened tonight, but she had no clues. In the end, she decided to stop thinking about it and fell asleep.
The next morning, when she woke up, it was already past six o'clock. She had been awake all night.
After getting up and washing, she changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Huh?"
When she entered the kitchen and saw Shi Xin Xin preparing breakfast, Ye Xi stood at the kitchen door, exclaiming in surprise, "You're up so early to make breakfast?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was going to stay at your place for a few days? I'm going to pack my things now. Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Hearing this, Ye Xi chuckled, "What am I worried about? As long as I'm here, who dares to bully you?"
"Haha." Shi Xin Xin laughed, "You're right, whoever dares to bully me, you'll bully them!"
Shi Xin Xin's mother and sister also woke up.
Ye Xi greeted Shi Xin Xin's parents and then helped Shi Xin Xin pack her things.
Shi Xin Xin came from an ordinary family, so she didn't have many clothes. A small handbag, a shoulder bag, a pair of canvas shoes, and a small backpack were enough.
After packing her things into the suitcase, Shi Xin Xin bid farewell to Ye Xi. She was ready to leave with him.
Ye Xi walked her to the door.
Shi Xin Xin checked the time; it was already past seven o'clock.
Ye Xi probably hadn't had breakfast yet, so she said, "You don't need to worry about me anymore. Go eat your breakfast first. I'll contact you when I get to school."
"Okay."
Ye Xi didn't insist further.
"Bye-bye!"
Shi Xin Xin and Ye Xi waved goodbye.
Ye Xi watched Shi Xin Xin leave.
He got back into his car, started the engine, and drove out of the complex, a smug smile playing on his lips.
Shi Xin Xin, you'll never escape!
...
When Shi Xin Xin arrived at school, she entered the classroom and saw a group of girls gathered around a desk, discussing the boy from yesterday.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Shi Xin Xin walked into the classroom and saw a group of girls clustered together, gossiping about the handsome guy.
When the girls saw Shi Xin Xin, they were startled and immediately fell silent.
Shi Xin Xin smiled, unfazed. She then sat down at her desk, opened her laptop, and started browsing web pages.
A moment later, a familiar male voice suddenly came from her ear.
"Xin Xin!"
Shi Xin Xin looked up and saw a handsome, dashing young man's face. He was wearing a blue casual outfit, tall, fair-skinned, with slightly small eyes, looking like a sunny young man. He was smiling at her with a hint of excitement.
"Xiao Hai, is that you?" Shi Xin Xin was also surprised. "Why are you in A City?" xxs壹贰
Xiao Hai smiled, his face beaming as he looked at her, "Of course I'm here to see you. You're not going to say you don't welcome me, are you?"
Shi Xin Xin smiled slightly, "I couldn't be more welcome."
Hearing this, Xiao Hai immediately leaned closer to Shi Xin Xin, "Then can I invite you out to play with me?"
Shi Xin Xin was taken aback, "Go out to play?"
"Yes, don't you want to go out with me?"
Shi Xin Xin shook her head, "Of course not. I just didn't expect you to ask me to hang out."
"Of course, didn't we say we'd hang out when we had free time?"
"Alright then." She hesitated for a moment, thinking of Sheng Chen Jin, that jealous man. If he knew she was going out with another man, he would definitely be unhappy.
Even if Xiao Hai was just her friend.
Xiao Hai immediately took out his phone, "Since you've agreed, let's leave right now. I know a very scenic place. We can have lunch there afterward, my treat!"
Shi Xin Xin looked at him and smiled, "It's no problem for you to treat, but my luggage..."
Xiao Hai chuckled, "I have a car, I'll drive you there."
"That's really too troublesome for you."
"It's no trouble at all. I'm just afraid you'll mind!" Xiao Hai said with a smile.
Shi Xin Xin shook her head, "I won't mind."
"Alright then, let's go, I'll drive you there."
The two walked out of the teaching building and then took Xiao Hai's car to the outskirts of the city, to a hillside.
It was early summer, the sun was bright, the trees on the hillside were lush, and beneath the shade were rows of small woods. The air was exceptionally fresh.
Shi Xin Xin took a deep breath, feeling very comfortable, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is so beautiful! I haven't been here in a long time."
"Then I'll show you around our neighborhood."
"Okay!" Shi Xin Xin was also looking forward to it. She rarely came to the city, and now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to explore.
"Do you like that apartment building?" Xiao Hai suddenly pointed to an apartment building and said to Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin's mind was occupied with Sheng Chen Jin, so she didn't notice which apartment building Xiao Hai was pointing to. She nodded.
"I know you'll like it, because I like it here too."
Xiao Hai smiled, reached out, and took Shi Xin Xin's hand. "Look how beautiful the environment is here. If we get married, we'll live here, okay?"
Hearing Xiao Hai's words, a blush flickered across Shi Xin Xin's face, "Xiao Hai, what are you talking about? We've only known each other for a short time, and you're already thinking about marriage?"
Xiao Hai smiled, "Why wouldn't I be thinking about marriage? You're twenty now, and I'm almost thirty. If I don't get married soon, my parents will nag me to death. My mother always says I'm irresponsible and tells me to settle down. Isn't that right?"
