Ye Xingchen was stunned. When the clerk happily took his card and was about to swipe it, she suddenly came back to her senses and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Lou Xi suddenly turned around and stared at her with an expressionless face, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he waited without saying a word.
Ye Xingchen was so serious in his heart that he hesitated for a few beats, then lowered his head and said, "It's better... just buy the first one."
"Are you sure?" He said sullenly, still staring at her.
"Yeah." She nodded. Compared with buying them all, of course she could only choose the original one. Although they were two hand in hand, they were only a pair, not a pile!
Lou Xi looked at her deeply, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, swiped his card, and left.
He stepped out of the store with a graceful movement, and Ye Xingchen followed slowly behind, firstly reluctantly, and secondly because the teddy bear in his arms was taller than her, almost blocking her entire line of sight.
So walking was very strenuous.
Sitting back in the car, Lou Xi threw the bear that Zuo Lingfeng had given him into the trunk. Ye Xingchen was full of doubts, but did not dare to ask any more questions. Under his stern eyes, he tremblingly put the newly bought bear into the trunk.
The pair of teddy bears got into the back seat.
Lou Xi looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, obviously intending to win after competing with someone.
The car restarted, and his slender fingers skillfully controlled the steering wheel. However, Ye Xingchen was restless, biting his lip slightly, and hesitantly said, "Well...actually you don't have to do this..."
Lou Xi's eyebrows frowned slightly, but relaxed again. His eyes lingered on the pink lips for a few seconds, and finally met her misty eyes again.
For some reason, Ye Xingchen's heartbeat suddenly beat a little faster, and he was having trouble breathing. He held the seat belt tightly with both hands, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to express his inner tangle, "I... don't like him sending me away."
That one, my favorite little bear will always be my original one..."
Lou Xi's calm expression darkened again, "What about this one I gave you?"
"This..." Ye Xingchen felt his obvious anger, and quickly lowered his attitude and said to please, "This one ranks second, and I like it second." Is that okay?
second?
Damn it! What man wants to be the second one?
His big hands holding the steering wheel tightened, his eyes were gloomy, and he asked harshly, "Who gave it to me in the first place?"
His sharp eagle eyes suddenly narrowed, staring closely at her pale face, as if he didn't want to let go of any of her delicate expressions, and wanted to see through her completely.
Ye Xingchen shrank and replied timidly, "My parents..."
What? Parents?
Lou Xi's anger was suddenly suffocated, and he felt his heart tighten suddenly. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down the unfamiliar fluctuations in emotions.
"Are they okay?" he asked casually.
Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, bit his lip slightly, and said softly, "He passed away."
The atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked, and Lou Xi suddenly calmed down. He finally understood why she cherished the old bear so much, and why she suddenly lost control of her emotions while holding the exact same bear that Zuo Lingfeng gave her... It turned out that it was not Zuo Lingfeng, she
There is no ex-boyfriend that you can't let go of.
Her fingers were intertwined on her knees, and her face was extremely pale.
"I'm sorry." He apologized for bringing up her sadness.
Ye Xingchen was surprised that such a domineering man would apologize, and was slightly startled. The gentleness in his eyes replaced the previous flame.
In the silence, something flickered deep in his eyes, as if he wanted to suck her whole body in.
Ye Xingchen blinked. The man next to her was strange. She couldn't explain why.
She was stunned by him for several seconds before finally raising her lips and speaking out, "It doesn't matter."
Her slightly hoarse voice made him frown slightly, "Can you tell me?"
Although she was a little surprised, Ye Xingchen still nodded slightly, an almost sour emotion spreading in her chest. At this moment, she also needed a window to vent.
She fell into memories and said faintly, "That little bear was a replacement birthday gift from my parents. On my birthday, they didn't come back in time because of work. When I got home, it was already evening and the shops were closed, so there was no way to buy gifts.
, they took me to the night market. There is a game machine that catches dolls in the night market. They helped me win the bear..."
Once the gate of memory is opened, it seems that it cannot be closed, and the old scenes seem to appear in front of Ye Xingchen's eyes.
The noisy night market, the crowded crowd, the noisy laughter, and the boundless happiness.
Invisible stones pressed heavily on her heart, and her eyes became silently moist again.
Lou Xi fell silent for a moment, her eyes lingering silently on the delicate face beside her. There was strong moisture in her eyes. Although she did not cry, she was more sad than crying.
His big hands quietly turned the steering wheel and changed the planned route, but Ye Xingchen was still immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice.
After a while, the car slowed down slowly and then stopped.
"We're here." He said in a deep voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
Ye Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses. When he looked up, it was not the familiar hospital building, but... a playground?
Ye Xingchen was suddenly surprised and looked at Lou Xi doubtfully, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course something happened." Lou Xi still cherished his words like gold, got out of the car somewhat mysteriously, and strode forward, the man's domineering nature fully exposed.
Ye Xingchen followed suspiciously.

In the huge amusement park, there was a huge crowd. Both adults and children were playing together. Ye Xingchen felt a little excited. It seemed that it was easy to find happiness here, but... why did he bring her here?
Lou Xi looked around and saw a plastic shed not far to the left with various plush toys hanging on the edge. He went straight away without thinking too much.
