Chapter 362 It’s over before it even starts

Xiao Shiyu went to a famous market in Yangcheng. When she got there, she visited many stores to get a feel for the lifestyle of this super first-tier city, the flow of people here, and what kind of shopping everyone likes.

Others come to go shopping, but she comes to go shopping to observe the business model and do a market survey.

She carried a mobile phone that could take pictures and a small notebook, which she used to write down what she observed from time to time.

Of course, sometimes I buy something when I see something I like.

Unknowingly, I bought more than 100 yuan worth of things, all of which were gadgets costing only a few yuan.

By the time she returned to Yan Xin's home in Baijingyuan, it was already past seven in the evening.

She originally wanted to have a meal out so as not to disturb the couple, but Yan Xin called her and asked her to come back for dinner, telling her that Ai Lili had specially prepared some dishes for her to try.

Check out the home cooking here.

There is no choice but to come back.

When I got home, there was another dish being cooked, and Ellie was busy in the kitchen.

Madoka is helping her.

Chen Li also came over and was chatting with Yan Xin in the living room.

After Xiao Shiyu put away her things, she went to the kitchen to help them. Ai Lili pushed her out and said to her with a smile:

"You have worked hard outside. Just have a good rest when you come back. We will be fine in a while."

Xiao Shiyu could only go to the living room to chat with Yan Xin and Chen Li.

She still has some social skills, and with her around, there will be no awkward conversations.

After a while, the food was ready, and then it was put on the table to eat together.

No one suggested drinking this time, it was all drinks.

Last time, we had dinner at his house and drank some red wine. Then Liang Wei used wine to force her to get married, and she and Chen Li had a quarrel, and finally ended up breaking up.

Although this ending is doomed, alcohol does have a considerable role in accelerating the process.

After learning such a lesson, Aili didn't dare to mention whether to drink or not.

While eating, Xiao Shiyu mentioned that she wanted to experience the prosperity of Yangcheng at night. Ailili said on the spot that she would accompany her and take her to visit the large shopping malls here.

Xiao Shiyu didn't want to bother her and said that she could do it alone.

But Ellie firmly objected: "That won't work. It's not safe for you to go out as a girl at night, not to mention you are so beautiful."

Yan Xin also said beside him: "Although the security of our country is very good, it is still too dangerous for you to go out alone because you are so beautiful. We have to accompany you, otherwise I will not worry. If you come to my place to play, something will happen."

How should I explain this matter to your family?"

Chen Li and Xiao Yuan were both echoing.

Now in 2007, surveillance in various places is not that widespread, and some large-scale anti-gang and anti-violence work has not been carried out. Public security is not that good - at least it cannot be compared with ten years later.

It's really not that safe for a young and beautiful girl like Xiao Shiyu to go out alone at night.

There is no guarantee that something will happen, but there is still a slight possibility of something happening.

Under their persuasion, Xiao Shiyu could only accept that they accompany her to go shopping.

After dinner, Madoka had a performance and left first.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Li did not want to have too much contact with Xiao Shiyu, so he went back to his home on the pretext of having to do some coding.

Yan Xin and Ai Lili went shopping with Xiao Shiyu.

Originally, Ai Lili suggested driving out, but Xiao Shiyu said she wanted to take a walk and slowly feel the prosperity here.

It just so happened that she and Yan Xin both had the habit of taking a walk after dinner, so they didn't insist on their own opinions. They listened to Xiao Shiyu and walked all the way.

When they went out, Ai Lili and Xiao Shiyu walked in front holding hands, like a pair of sisters.

Yan Xin followed a step or two behind, more like a follower or a bodyguard.

Xiao Shiyu also chatted more with Ai Lili and less with Yan Xin, and the scale was very cautious. It was a normal chat between classmates and friends, but there was still some restraint.

These were all things that Yan Xin wanted to remind Xiao Shiyu but didn't know how to say them. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiyu did this without him reminding her.

Although it made him feel at ease, he also felt a little bit regretful:

"My relationship with her seems to have become estranged all of a sudden."

Xiao Shiyu is so beautiful, and she has so much affection for him. It would be a lie to say that he has no idea at all.

However, I only have a little bit of ideas.

If it would affect his relationship with Ellie, he would still give up.

There are always some scenery that can only be missed.

There are always some years that are destined to be wasted.

It is impossible for a person to capture all the good things in life, and some regrets are inevitable.

This is something that can't be helped.

Xiao Shiyu deliberately kept a distance from him in front of Ai Lili. He had to work hard in this regard and also kept a certain distance from Xiao Shiyu. He was much more cautious than when the two of them were alone together, even throughout the whole process.

There was no eye contact.

In Ellie's eyes, these two people were just ordinary friends and classmates.

She felt that Xiao Shiyu came to see Yan Xin this time simply because her only classmate in this city was Yan Xin, or in other words, only Yan Xin had the ability to receive him.

This time they went shopping, and they went shopping until after eleven o'clock. They also had a barbecue outside before going back.

But I took a taxi when I went back - I walked so far without even realizing it. If I had to walk back the same way I did at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have to go past one o'clock in the morning.

After returning home, of course I take a shower and go to bed.

When Yan Xin went to take a shower, Xiao Shiyu also expressed his apology to Ai Lili:

"You have to go to work tomorrow, and I'm really sorry to ask you to stay with me until so late."

Ai Lili said with a smile: "It's okay, we are all friends. We should accompany you when you come. When I go to your place from now on, you should also play with me."

Xiao Shiyu said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, it's just that there are basically no people in our county after ten o'clock at night. If you want to play, there is nowhere to go."

Then asked Ai Lili: "Sister Lili, you are with Yan Xin, have you ever been to his house?"

Ellie shook her head and said, "I haven't been there."

As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on his face.

Said: "Actually, there are times when I really want to accompany Yan Xin, but sometimes the company has something to do and I have to go home to be with my mother during the New Year and the holidays. I have never been able to find such an opportunity."

Xiao Shiyu said: "There will definitely be such an opportunity in the future."

Ai Lili also smiled and said: "I also believe that there will be such an opportunity in the future. Maybe during the Chinese New Year this year, I will accompany Yan Xin back to his hometown, and then we will go and play with you."

"No problem." Xiao Shiyu said.

Then he asked curiously: "Don't you have to go home to be with your mother during the Chinese New Year this year?"

Ai Lili couldn't help but frowned: "Yes. My mother only has me as a relative. If I don't go back to accompany her during the New Year, she will be very sad. But Yan Xin's father also has only him as a relative. If he doesn't

It’s not good to go home...it’s so troublesome..."

This is the problem that troubles her the most.

In fact, she really wanted to go to Yan Xin's hometown to see what the environment was like when he was growing up, and also to visit his father. Only then could she meet the parents, which would make her feel more at ease.

But I never had that opportunity, and I was always delayed by one thing or another.

There is a very important reason for this, that is, Yan Xin does not want her to go there, and does not want Feng Xi to know about his relationship with her, so he has been secretly looking for reasons to persuade her not to go there.

Yan Xin didn't take long to take a shower. He came out a few minutes later and had already changed into pajamas.

Then Ai Lili went to take a shower, and Yan Xin stayed with Xiao Shiyu in the living room.

——Originally, Ai Lili wanted Xiao Shiyu to take a bath first. After all, he was a guest. He had to respect the guest and let him come first.

But Xiao Shiyu said that they both had to go to work tomorrow and asked them to take a shower first so that they could rest earlier.

Anyway, I have nothing important to do, so I can wait a little longer.

So she was the last one to take a shower.

There were guests here, so Yan Xin couldn't go to the bedroom to sleep immediately after taking a shower, so he could only stay with her in the living room.

The two of them were talking nonsense and being extremely polite, and there was basically no eye contact between the two of them.

When Ai Lili went to the bathroom holding her pajamas and heard the door close, Xiao Shiyu's eyes fell on Yan Xin's face.

At this time, Yan Xin's eyes also fell on her face.

The two people looked at each other, and Yan Xin saw a trace of resentment in Xiao Shiyu's eyes.

He didn't know if this was his imagination.

Xiao Shiyu smiled, and then whispered: "Your girlfriend is very good."

Yan Xin glanced in the direction of the bathroom. In fact, he couldn't see anything through a wall. It was just a subconscious reaction.

Then he smiled, nodded and said, "It's pretty good."
