He actually didn't want to retreat, but he knew that if he didn't retreat, Xie Qingran would take action.
Ji Chen had been beaten by Xie Qingran and felt that he could avoid being beaten once.
"You mean you'll still be eating here in the next few days, right?" Ji Chen asked gently.
Xie Qingran nodded.
"Then I'll cook for you these days, okay?" Ji Chen asked expectantly.
Xie Qingran opened her mouth just to refuse.
"Qingran..." Ji Chen pulled the corner of her clothes and stared at her expectantly.
Xie Qingran coughed lightly and was almost confused by the beauty.
"That's okay."
Ji Chen immediately became happy, "Then let's go to the supermarket now. Let's buy whatever you want to eat first."
Xie Qingran frowned, "No need."
She is a little lazy and doesn't want to move.
Ji Chenfei had to drag her along.
Xie Qingran had a sad face, completely different from Ji Chen who was full of lightness and joy.
The two of them were walking on the road, and their good looks attracted many people to look at them.
Xie Qingran regretted not wearing a mask.
The two of them walked around the supermarket for half an hour and bought a lot of things. Ji Chen wanted to buy more, but Xie Qingran stopped him.
"Go back, I'm tired." She felt that she should have strongly rejected Ji Chen, but she didn't have to do that now.
Ji Chen sighed, "Okay."
He still wanted to change things, but he still had to listen to Xie Qingran's words.
He is so good, Xie Qingran will definitely not let him go.
Ji Chen happily carried two bags of things and went home with Xie Qingran.
After putting things away separately, Ji Chen's cell phone rang.
"Brother Shen, something happened..."
The person opposite didn't know what he said, and Ji Chen's face looked a little ugly.
"Qingran, I have something to leave now, you..."
"Oh, then let's go." Xie Qingran held a bag of potato chips and said indifferently.
"..." Ji Chen pinched her face, "Won't you ask me one more question?"
Xie Qingran slapped his hand away, "I'll beat you up again."
"And why should I ask more questions?"
The girl's eyes revealed full of confusion.
Ji Chen sighed in his heart and rubbed the tip of her nose with his fingers, "Then I will pick you up tomorrow and go home with you."
"……oh."
Xie Qingran watched Ji Chen leave. She was still a little confused until the door closed.
But after a while she stopped thinking about it.
Ji Chen must have lost his mind!
After sitting for a while, Xie Qingran asked Xie Jing to come out. Before the two of them said a few words, Xie Qingyan's phone call came.
"Of course, are you back?"
In addition to Xie Qingyan's voice, Xie Qingran also heard many other voices.
There were the voices of Xie's mother asking anxiously, the voices of Xie Qingyuan and Xie Qingyan talking on the phone, the voices of Xie's father asking...
She smiled and said, "We've already arrived at my place. I'll be there right away."
Someone on the other end seemed to be relieved, and then Xie's mother answered the phone.
"Of course, your elder brother is about to get off work, so I asked him to pick you up."
"good."
Of course Xie Qingran would be happy if someone came to pick her up.
Either she doesn't have a driver's license, or she is too lazy to drive, and prefers to take the bus, subway, or ride a bicycle.
But who wouldn’t be happy to have a private car?
Mother Xie chatted with Xie Qingran for a while before hanging up the phone with some reluctance.
Xie Qingran went to pack her suitcase. When she was almost done, Xie Qingxu arrived.
There were a few gentle knocks on the door, and Xie Qingran went over to open the door.
"Ranran." Xie Qingxu smiled gently and gently. He was usually taciturn and seldom smiled, with a stern face, a bit stern.
But a sincere smile, just a shallow smile, is enough to surprise people.
The younger members of the Xie family are all very good-looking, but only Xie Qingxu, the eldest brother, has a personality and appearance that is more similar to Xie's father.
His usually cold and serious look is very much like Father Xie's. In the shopping mall, this face can also be very intimidating.
I don't usually treat my three younger brothers very gently at home, let alone smile so beautifully just by seeing them.
"Brother." Xie Qingran shouted happily.
Xie Jing stood beside her, but Xie Qingxu didn't have a charm and couldn't see him.
Xie Jing looked at Xie Qingxu's smile and couldn't help but want to laugh too.
This eldest nephew is not much younger than him, and Xie Jing has watched him grow up since childhood.
Xie Qingxu has been very calm and rational since he was very young, and he doesn't like to laugh much. He is very mature at a young age, especially his elder brother's demeanor.
In all these years, I have rarely seen him smile like this.
Xie Qingran asked Xie Qingxu to come in, "Brother, what can you drink? There are juices, drinks and mineral water."
"I'm not thirsty." Xie Qingxu refused to drink water, "Of course, shall we go home now?"
"Brother, please wait for me for a moment. I'll go change my clothes."
"good."
While waiting for Xie Qingran, Xie Qingxu looked around in the living room.
Xie Qingran lives alone. The house is kept very clean, but there are not many things. It looks bright and spacious.
Xie Jing also followed him to watch.
Xie Qingxu's eyes were clearly distressed.
If Xie Qingran had grown up in the Xie family since she was a child, she would have been more willful and indulgent, and would not have to live alone at such a young age. She would probably not be able to eat well by herself.
Xie Qingran came out quickly, "Brother, I've packed it up."
Xie Qingxu said with a smile, "Shall we set off now?"
"Okay." Xie Qingran put Xie Jing into the charm and followed her elder brother out the door.
On the way to Xie's house, Xie Qingxu suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Of course, I'm going to buy something, please wait for a while."
"good."
Xie Qingran looked outside from the window. Xie Qingxu came back soon.
"It will be a while before we get home for dinner. You should eat something first." Xie Qingxu handed a small cake to Xie Qingran.
"Thank you, brother." Xie Qingran took it with her eyes bent.
Xie Qingran has been fond of eating this kind of sweets since she was a child, especially from this store. Fortunately, after so many years, the taste of the cakes in this store has not changed much and is still as delicious as ever. Xie Qingran fell in love with it after one taste.
"Brother, this is so delicious." She took another bite with bright eyes.
"When you were a child, you liked cakes from this store the most. After all these years, your preference has not changed." Xie Qingxu replied with a smile.
Xie Qingran couldn't remember what happened when he was a child, so he asked curiously, "What was it like when I was a child?"
"Very well-behaved, very cute." Xie Qingxu didn't say much and changed the topic.
Xie Qingran couldn't recall any memories before her disappearance, which made her a little strange.
But I didn’t think much about it, after all, I was only three years old at the time, and I was still at an age where I couldn’t remember anything.
Along the way, Xie Qingran was eating and talking to Xie Qingxu. When he arrived at Xie's house, someone came to greet him before he even got out of the car.
