When she heard the name again, she already felt a little dazed, even though she knew very well that the other person had always wanted to see her.

"Mr. Gu, can I ask you a favor?"

It seems that I have been pondering for a long time, and I also feel that some things have to be said now, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is too late.

"Let me guess, you don't want me to tell Jing Rui what happened to you here, right?"

Thinking back to the scene just now, Xia Lichen, who was lying in the bathtub taking a hot bath, felt very complicated.

She hopes that everyone can be well, but she still doesn't understand Gu Jingrui's persistence, just like her passion for Chen Shaohua in the past.

"It would be great if there was a way so that none of us would be harmed."

She looked above the bathroom and let out a long sigh. Sure enough, she did not go home to celebrate the New Year today, but continued to stay in this small room.

Although there is definitely loneliness and longing, she also understands that only by completely getting better can she let Sister Yu Tong and the others see a new version of themselves.

Fortunately, the house was well stocked with New Year's goods, and there was plenty of food and drink. She only occasionally saw fireworks set off outside, and she would walk through the snow to watch them after dinner.

It was during this gap that she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a suspicious yet familiar figure outside the community.

Although she could just pretend not to care, but since the other party was here, she should go and meet him no matter what.

"It's not good to be so sneaky all the time, right?"

This time the other party didn't notice me, so when I finally walked up to him after avoiding the crowd, the other party was obviously a little stunned.

"Li Chen...me!"

No one could have imagined that the person they had not seen for a long time was actually Xia Rulin.

"There's no need to call me by my name. Our vocational education teacher Yun is no longer brother and sister anyway."

She stretched out nonchalantly, not surprised or disturbed by the man's appearance.

Speaking of which, if you want to ask why Xia Rulin appeared here, you have to go ahead.

It turned out that since he learned that she had moved away with Li Xin, he would often come to visit alone. Since he did not have a key, he never entered the house.

It's just that when he came recently, he happened to see Xia Lichen outside the community, so he came to peek more frequently than before.

"Don't do this to your brother, okay Li Chen! I just want to come to my mother's house for a visit."

Because Xia Rulin was a little older, his mother took him to live with him during the winter and summer vacations when he was a child in order to attend cram school.

"Then you should tell me what I did to you. After all, we are really no longer brother and sister. In my eyes, you are a stranger who is slightly more familiar than a stranger."

Their previous relationship as brothers and sisters had completely dissipated as early as her senior year in high school, so she couldn't understand why Xia Rulin was pretending to be pitiful to show her now.

Sure enough, after hearing Xia Lichen's answer, Xia Rulin's expression became even more ugly.

"I really just can't let you go, but I don't dare to see you, so I can only rely on these to recall the beautiful memories we had before."

He said to Xia Lichen in an extremely serious tone, but after hearing these words, Xia Lichen smiled even more and moved his body two steps back.

“Mr.

She understood what she meant. Since you wanted to give it up in the first place, you naturally have no right to own it again.

"And I think you... should regret it now. You shouldn't have been so reckless and devoted yourself to Su Yarou, and you shouldn't have abandoned your first girlfriend who really loved you for her.

Xia Lichen happened to feel very upset recently, so this was a perfect opportunity. She didn't feel sad, nor did she feel any psychological burden due to it.

Listening to the doctor's advice and letting go of things that should be put down is indeed a happy thing.

After his sister saw through all his thoughts, Xia Rulin was almost unsteady on his feet. He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was actually the sister who had no ability to resist in the past.

When it came to his marriage, Xia Lichen was right. It had been so long and he seemed to have experienced a lot, so he began to doubt his previous thoughts.

"Chenchen! If you want our parents to be alive in heaven, they definitely don't want us to be like this."

"Okay Xia Rulin, if it were you, would you dare to let your parents know what you have done before?"

Snowflakes were flying in the winter night, and there were gradually fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, so she really didn't want to get entangled with the other party anymore, but helplessly, this person seemed to not give up until he achieved his goal.

"It's not easy to know you. If Su Yarou finds out that you dare to tell me this behind her back, she will definitely be angry, so you might as well try to make yourself believe what you say first."

She doesn't say anything when she needs it, and kicks her away when she doesn't need it. And this is her brother, the brother she has a certain blood relationship with. Even if he says something deliberately, others will laugh at her.

In the end, Xia Rulin left, and gradually disappeared in the snowy night with endless unwillingness. Xia Lichen even reminded him before he left, asking him not to disturb her and Li Xin's life again in the future.

Otherwise, even if I am in a bad state of mind now, I will not let the other person off easily.

This year could be considered an ordinary year, but Xia Lichen was like a seed reborn under wildfire. After going to the hospital again for a detailed examination, even the psychiatrist lamented that it was not easy for her to maintain such a level.

"You know what I want to say. I hope you will never come back after leaving this time."

The psychiatrist stared at Xia Lichen's background and expressed such expectations sincerely.

"I will."

Everyone has his own life, but Xia Lichen never dared to look at those who had helped him.

After leaving the hospital, she did not take a taxi back, but walked home step by step on the cold street like an ignorant child.

It can only be said that it is a wonderful thing to return to a normal state. She no longer sheds tears often, let alone finds that person easily again. She has probably given up completely, right?

Counting the time, after the New Year, it was almost the beginning of spring. She simply packed up the house, picked up her luggage, and returned home.

It was just that during the day, Tang Lin and the three of them had their own jobs, so they were not at home. She went out to buy a lot of everyone's favorite dishes, as well as fruit drinks and so on.

It was a busy afternoon, so when they came back in the evening, they saw a table full of delicious food, and Xia Lichen standing at the door waiting for their return.

The first one who couldn't hold it back was Tang Lin. She stepped forward and hugged her uncontrollably, and then tears fell out of her eyes extremely violently.

"Chenchen, you are finally back...where did you go during that time!"

Yu Tong, who was following behind, had a plain face at first, but from the moment he saw Xia Lichen, he couldn't move his eyes away.

Xia Lixin's situation wasn't much better either. Although he kept telling himself that he was a man and couldn't cry like a boy in front of his sister, he finally couldn't hold it back.

"Sister...you promised me that you would never leave me. Have you forgotten? You left me like that before without saying goodbye. Do you know how worried we are about you?"

Without Xia Lichen, this year just feels like nothing.

But she herself was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, she pulled the three of them to the dinner table and chose to explain the reasons while taking the initiative to mention her current mental situation.

"So...so Li Chen, you have almost returned to normal, right? This is simply..."

Although Tang Lin is not a psychiatrist, she still knows something about this aspect.

"It's God's blessing! But the most important thing is that we Chenchen took the initiative to give up on that person."

Yu Tong is considered someone who has been there before. Although she is not with anyone now, she does not love Xia Rulin Dog and has not met anyone she likes. It is not an unforgettable relationship.

Even if they didn't have to be careless, even if they mentioned Chen Shaohua's name back then, they would no longer care.

"After some time, I will review the relationship again, so Li Xin and we will still be colleagues from now on."

Xia Lichen thought for a while and then said to his brother.

In response, Xia Lixin felt a little embarrassed and stuck out her tongue, "Sister, please don't be too harsh on me."

Although he has never worked with his sister, he knows how capable she is.

"This is natural. After all, you are my biological brother, right?"

She couldn't help laughing and joking, but in fact she just started from the bottom again and was not a powerful person.

The atmosphere at home also became extraordinarily different because of Xia Lichen's return. Tang Lin saw this in her eyes and felt truly indescribable joy.

Fortunately, her closest friend came out. Although she would still regret the relationship between Xia Lichen and Chen Shaohua, she only wanted her Li Chen to be well, and others no longer mattered.

But this time when she came back, she still didn't mention that she was actually kidnapped by Situ Feng before.

Because it was difficult for the other party to threaten her anymore, she was more worried about someone than that perverted thing.

Needless to say, that person is naturally Gu Jingrui.

It had only been two days since she came back, and the other party's cell phone was calling her one after another, which was really embarrassing for her.

"Don't worry, I'm home now."

As soon as she picked up the phone, before the other party could ask, she took the initiative to confess.

"Then will you return to the Chen family in the future?"

Gu Jingrui's voice was obviously unhappy, but it was not directed at Xia Lichen.

"That's definitely not the case. I will go back to work for the Gu family next month, just like before."
