Yan Rui's tone was as calm as boiled water. Xiao Xixi was surprised that this way of speaking did not sound like the gentle person he was used to, but rather, it seemed that he was secretly dissatisfied with the other person.
Then she looked at Zhong Yixuan's face, which showed an invulnerable smile. He took a sip of water and replied leisurely: "Yeah, brother, I didn't expect that Xixi and I hit it off as soon as we met.
Let's make peace!" After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi's eyes shifted between the two men. Sitting on the sofa, she felt a little bit on pins and needles.
Yan Rui saw Xiao Xixi and Zhong Yixuan sitting across from each other in the morning sunlight that shone into the room. Xiao Xixi had a worried and observant expression on her face. He knew that she must be suspicious of his abnormality.
After thinking for a while, he returned to his usual normal state and chatted politely for a few words.
However, these still cannot be hidden from Xiao Xixi's eyes. After all, she has been with Yan Rui for so many years. She also knows very clearly whether his expressions and his tone are heartfelt and sentimental.
Zhong Yixuan finally reluctantly left. Xiao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room. She didn't know where to start her words, but Yan Rui saved her from thinking about it. His voice was heavy, as if
Saying the thing that you least want to say, she said, "Xixi, I'm going to marry Ye Ziwei."
The sentence was concise and clear, but Xiao Xixi felt silent resentment and helplessness from his words. He was not at all like the brother Rui who had always been gentle, elegant and extremely polite.
She lowered her head, then raised it again, looking into his gray eyes.
Does she know that maybe he doesn't love her...? Yes, he doesn't love her.
Although Ye Ziwei is an excellent and pure girl, with natural nobility, unconventional taste, exquisite and beautiful mixed-race charming face, and the innocence of a twenty-one-year-old... But these are not for Yan Rui.
Say, it doesn’t matter.
"Brother Rui..." Xiao Xixi wanted to say something congratulatory, but that would only push the distance between them further. She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Xixi," Yan Rui suddenly said, "I want to say the last few words to you. I hope you can listen carefully and don't find me verbose."
Xiao Xixi knew that if he started so solemnly, he must have some serious words to say. Unknowingly, the air had become slightly solemn.
"Well, Brother Rui, I'll listen carefully." She pretended to smile easily, but she couldn't laugh at all in her heart, and Yan Rui's next words made her feel even more painful.
Yan Rui smiled bitterly and said: "Xixi, there is no need for a reason to love someone, and there is no ultimate. For many years, I have been waiting desperately for you. Desperately, waiting for when you can look back and take a look.
Me. Look at me who has been standing still, look at me who is waiting for you by your side. But I also understand that from the bottom of your heart, you and I have different directions and different feelings. The paths we have taken in the past and the future are completely different.
Same."
There was suppressed sadness in Yan Rui's words, "My companionship with you since childhood made me believe that we didn't just pass by by chance, so no matter what time, I can't pretend that I can't see you.
But now, I will marry Ye Ziwei just because I have to be responsible for her. I will definitely bear the mistakes I have made. I will still let you go, because your happiness will never be with me.
I love you, but my only purpose is to hope you are happy."
After speaking, he lowered his head.
Xiao Xixi's heart hurt like several knives cutting at the same time, the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
Over the years, she knew that the person she was most sorry for was not anyone, but Brother Rui, who was willing to go through fire and water for her. If it were any other girl, like Ye Ziwei, like so many other girls she liked secretly and openly.
She knows all the women who care for him.
Just because of himself, he will always be his own knight and never leave.
But now, he feels that he has broken his promise and lost the promise he kept, because he has to keep his promise to another person. Although this promise is not given by him voluntarily, he, Yan Rui, will definitely bear it.
.
Xiao Xixi looked at Yan Rui's face that concealed sadness and loneliness with calmness, and her heart ached. At this time, she didn't expect that her heart seemed to be empty of something, and she was so sad that she couldn't describe it.
The two sat quietly for a long time, and Yan Rui spoke again: "Xixi, Zhong Yixuan...how does he treat you?" He was still worried that this evil man, with the evil spirit emanating from his bones, would make him unable to
rest assured.
"Yixuan...he's nice to me." Xiao Xixi didn't know how to describe it, but Zhong Yixuan's impeccably handsome face appeared in her mind.
"I don't know what to say, Xixi, if, I mean if," Yan Rui's tone became slightly tighter, and Xiao Xixi's heart became surprised and tense as he said, "If he does anything to hurt you
- you can come to me anytime. I will never let him go."
Xiao Xixi was surprised to hear Yan Rui say such serious words for the first time. However, she became sad again. These words were very similar to what her brother said to his married sister.
Xiao Xixi didn't understand the meaning of Yan Rui's words, but she just felt that maybe he said goodbye again. But now, no matter what she said, no matter how comforting the words were, they were so pale and powerless.
The next morning, the stormy weather changed and the sun shone brightly.
Xiao Xixi didn't worry about letting Xiaojue and Xiaohui go to the kindergarten again, so she decided to stay at home and play with them as a buffer. She also walked around the courtyard for a while, and the giggles of the two babies attracted Ziwei.
Although the meeting was the same as before, Xiao Xixi also felt subtle changes. Ziwei was not as happy as she imagined. On the contrary, there was always a secret sadness on her face that could not be wiped away.
"Sister Xixi," Ye Ziwei looked at the two children playing together and said calmly to Xiao Xixi, "I really envy you." Envying her is like being protected by Yan Rui forever.
"Weiwei, I have nothing to envy. I live like this every day." Xiao Xixi looked at the child's smile, feeling very relieved and said unintentionally.
"I envy you, you will always have a strict heart." Ye Ziwei suddenly spoke, her tone was calm, but she didn't care that it was not appropriate to talk about this sentence in this situation.
Xiao Xixi was shocked unexpectedly. Aren't they going to get married? Why was Ye Ziwei still looking sad? Next, her words gave her a straightforward answer.
Tears suddenly appeared in Ye Ziwei's eyes, and she spoke with some choking: "Sister Xixi, let me ask you one thing, just one thing, okay?"
Xiao Xixi was a little surprised, and quickly comforted her, saying soothingly: "Weiwei, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will try my best." She had never prayed for anything so emotionally.
Ye Ziwei paused and said pleadingly: "Sister Xixi, I'm sorry, I really think it's wrong to do this, and it's an unkind request. But if you don't do this, I really will never get it."
Happiness. Even a little bit of hope is impossible. I'm so scared..." His eyes were full of sadness.
Xiao Xixi was slightly moved and felt even more confused.
Ye Ziwei finally said: "I beg you, can you move out and don't... have any contact with Brother Yan Rui anymore. Sister Xixi, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." She knew that this was unreasonable and couldn't
Interfering in other people's lives, but she really couldn't think of any way to divert Yan Rui's eyes from Xiao Xixi to herself, even a little bit.
Then, she is willing to be here begging for the woman he cherishes the most.
Xiao Xixi suddenly understood that her existence had actually caused so much trouble to Ziwei. She smiled, suddenly touched Ziwei's shoulder, and said playfully: "I will move out, I will move out early."
I just thought, I will never be your light bulb. You will definitely be very happy, really. But, Weiwei, will you miss me?"
This is the only way to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward. Xiao Xixi pretended to be natural and still smiled and waited for her answer.
However, Ye Ziwei was also shocked by her reaction. After a while, she wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingertips and tried her best to smile: "Yes, Sister Xixi, I will definitely do it. You are really... very good."
, I'm so sorry..." She couldn't speak anymore, and she started to choke again.
"Weiwei, what are you talking about?" Xiao Xixi hurriedly hugged her shaking shoulders and comforted her, "Originally, I was going to move out. I have already told Yan Rui. Don't worry, it's definitely not because of
You. But, we just happened to think of going together, what a coincidence!"
She pretended to be relaxed, because she knew that Ye Ziwei would not and would not dare to go to Yan Rui for confirmation, so she directly told a white lie.
I wonder if I, three years ago, was like Ye Ziwei at this time, young but persistently in love with a man? I cried for him, laughed for him, and never forgot him, just because of his look.
, how long does it take to be moved by just one sentence?
Xiao Xixi suddenly wondered, could that person... be Zhong Yixuan? She didn't know why, but she really didn't feel this way at all. He was good to her, and she could feel his dependence on her all the time. But
, Sometimes, Xiao Xixi always feels uncomfortable with responding to this kind of thing.
After returning home, she began to seriously consider her decision.
She simply but completely hopes that Yan Rui and Ye Ziwei can achieve ultimate happiness. Although Yan Rui has not hesitated to look at other women over the years, she knows that he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside towards others.
.As two people get along with each other without any gap, they will definitely be happy in a mess.
Just thinking about it made Xiao Xixi feel happy.
However, what she wants to think seriously about now is the decision to move out with Xiaojue and Xiaohui. First, secondly, and again... her mind instantly began to draw a list, and she counted the necessary steps in detail.
Now that you have decided on something, just do it decisively.
One afternoon, while her two babies were taking a nap, she flipped through various housing rental and sales news and job advertisements.
