When Li Luo and Ying Chanxi went upstairs, Secretary Rong and the driver had already delivered their luggage and hurried down from upstairs.

Passing by the two children, Secretary Rong and the driver politely said goodbye and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ying Zhicheng in front went back to the house early, leaving a door open for Ying Chanxi.

This scene fell in Li Luo's eyes, but it solidified some of his previous speculations.

So when he saw Ying Chanxi going upstairs without saying a word, and when he returned to the fourth floor, he walked straight into Room 402 without informing him, Li Luo immediately stretched out his hand to hold Ying Chanxi.

"What's wrong?" Ying Chanxi lowered her head and glanced at Li Luo, who held her hand, and then looked at him with a smile.

This smile was obviously the same as usual, but it always made Li Luo feel deliberate, not as natural as before.

But Li Luo really didn't know how to evaluate and comfort Zhicheng's family affairs.

So he could only say: "I haven't seen you for such a long time, why don't you come and sit with me for a while?"

Ying Chanxi shook his head and just looked at him with a smile: "I thought you had something to say to me?"

"Me?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ying Chanxi meant.

When Ying Chanxi saw this, he slightly suppressed the smile on his face. When he turned around to face the open door of his home, his face suddenly became expressionless, and he walked straight into the door of his home, "It's nothing, I've been having a lot of fun these days.

I’m tired, go to bed early today, I have to go shopping for New Year’s goods tomorrow.”

After saying that, Ying Chanxi had already walked into the house. When he turned to look at Li Luo, a sweet smile appeared on his face again, and he waved to Li Luo and said, "Good night."

"Uh... ah... um..." Li Luo blinked. He was still a little unaccustomed to Ying Chanxi like this, so he subconsciously responded, "Good night."

After saying that, a slight click was heard and the door was closed.

Li Luo stood in the corridor, looking at the tightly closed door of Room 402, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Ying Chanxi's current state feels a bit bad...it's really nerve-wracking.

It would be fine if she vented her emotions directly and cried and made a fuss in front of him.

But the current situation made Li Luo even more distressed.

If I had known earlier, I should have dragged her over directly.

Li Luo reviewed it in his mind.

As for now, that's all, let's go to sleep first.

But just then.

The door of 402 was opened again.

Li Luo subconsciously looked up and thought it was Ying Chanxi coming out again.

When he looked up, Li Luo was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Ying?"

"Are you still there?" Ying Zhicheng glanced at Li Luo, then turned to look in the direction of his living room, as if to confirm something, and then turned to look at Li Luo again, "Did Xixi tell you?

"

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned again. He was like a computer that had crashed. He was being beaten up by Ying Zhicheng, "Uncle Ying, what do you mean?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned when he saw Li Luo's reaction, "I thought..."

"Why?" Li Luo couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw Ying Zhicheng's appearance, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart, "Uncle Ying, don't just say half of what you said."

"Ahem... Don't talk to me like that, kid. It's obviously you who are being unkind." Ying Zhicheng said angrily, "I think it's better for Xixi to tell you this matter herself."

"Nothing else." Seeing that he was about to close the door, Li Luo quickly grabbed the edge of the door and pushed his foot into the crack of the door. He chuckled with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Ying said, please give me a hint and let me see Xixi's mood.

She's not very tall, could it be that I provoked her somewhere?"

"You know it yourself." Ying Zhicheng rolled his eyes at him and said with a speechless face, "You have done so many good things, but in the end you only hide it from Xixi. You are quite powerful."

As soon as these words came out, even if Ying Zhicheng didn't say it explicitly, Li Luo's heart suddenly thumped, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"That's not right...I haven't even said anything yet." Li Luo murmured to himself. He really couldn't figure out where he was exposed. "Zhu Sheng also said that she and Aunt Yuan wouldn't tell her."

When Ying Zhicheng heard the muttering in his mouth, he immediately laughed twice: "You have been an uncle for so many years, and your hard work in the workplace was in vain?"

"Last time you were hanging around my company, did you really think I believed your story?"

"I turned around and asked the secretary to check your situation, and the result was really surprising."

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo's expression suddenly changed: "No...Uncle Ying...you..."

"I didn't take the initiative to expose you." Uncle Ying raised his hand and pointed at him, "I was thinking that no matter what, our Xixi should be the one who knows about this kind of thing."

"I even thought that Xixi was the secret keeper who helped you hide it from the people around you."

"So I haven't mentioned this matter in front of you two, but in fact I have known about it a long time ago."

"It's just that when I was chatting with her during this trip, I realized that she didn't even know."

"That's not it." Ying Zhicheng clapped his hands, spread them out, and said with a headache, "I didn't plan to tell you at first, but Xixi has been feeling very wrong these days."

"I thought it would be better to meet you when I come back, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"She's taking a shower now. That's all I'm telling you. It's up to you to decide."

After saying this, Ying Zhicheng reached out and pried off Li Luo's fingers, kicked his feet out, and then immediately closed the door.

For Ying Zhicheng, he can certainly see a little bit of his daughter's thoughts.

But as a child, he himself was like this when he was a child, so he can understand it to a certain extent.

As for Li Luo, Ying Zhicheng can also understand it. After all, he has some things of his own that he has been hiding from his daughter and dare not tell.

Perhaps out of empathy between men, or to pave the way for his future showdown, Ying Zhicheng finally revealed some information to Li Luo in private.

After all, in Ying Zhicheng's view, his daughter has never lacked friends since she was a child.

But the one with the best relationship is definitely Li Luo.

If possible, Ying Zhicheng does not want his daughter to lose this most important friend, or for there to be any cracks in the relationship between the two.

Children's minds are very fragile and sensitive.

If this incident affects the relationship between the two children, it will probably affect the daughter's high school life, and even the college entrance examination and even college.

Under the long-term influence, Ying Zhicheng even had to reconsider whether to show off his emotional affairs with his daughter.

And while Ying Zhicheng was thinking about this, Li Luo, who was in the corridor outside the door, was already numb.

He originally thought that it was Ying Zhicheng's showdown with Ying Chanxi that caused Ying Chanxi's bad mood.

In the end, instead of the thunder on Uncle Ying's side exploding, the mine on his side was detonated first?

What is the most uncomfortable thing in this world?

Just when you were about to do your homework, your parents suddenly said, why are you still playing? Why don't you hurry up and do your homework?

If you do your homework at this time, in the eyes of your parents, it will be your own urging that has the effect, rather than your sincere desire to do your homework.

This is how Li Luo feels now.

He had obviously planned to take the initiative to show off his cards, but why did he seem to be forced into a helpless situation?

Well...actually, I was a little forced and helpless.

It's just that Li Luo sort of realized it as a result of his conscience and had no intention of hiding it from Ying Chanxi anymore.

But he originally planned to wait until he returned to the countryside to find a chance to make things clear to Ying Chanxi.

It seems now...

Li Luo scratched his head and sighed.

He looked at the door of 402 in front of him, dug a few times through the cracks in the couplets on the door, took out a spare key, and quietly opened the door.

Ying Zhicheng had already returned to the master bedroom at this time.

The living room was empty.

When Li Luo walked into the living room, he could hear the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom.

Ying Chanxi was obviously still taking a bath.

After confirming this, Li Luo first sat on the sofa in the living room.

But when he thought that Ying Zhicheng was in the bedroom, he would probably be able to hear the movement in the living room, so Li Luo stood up again, thought about it, walked into Ying Chanxi's bedroom, and stood in front of her desk

Sit down upright.

This is not the first time Li Luo has walked into Ying Chanxi's bedroom.

But like now, when Ying Chanxi is not here, it is probably the first time that I come in alone to sit and look around.

Before this, he had never observed Yingchanxi's room like this.

So soon, he noticed a small transparent box against the wall of the desk, which was locked by a combination lock.

Inside lay an envelope of various kinds.

Just by looking through the box, Li Luo could tell at a glance that the envelopes inside were all pen pal letters he had written to Ying Chanxi this semester.

Every letter has been preserved intact by Yingchanxi.

In addition, on the bedside table, there are Pikachu and Doraemon given to her by Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu, which no longer look as brand-new as when they were first bought.

It feels a little older than before the winter vacation.

Looking at the pillow, there was a small blanket that Li Luo had once glimpsed.

He didn't pay attention to it before, nor did he deliberately think about it.

At that time, Ying Chanxi was so anxious that he said this thing was just a pillowcase.

Now that he saw the familiar object again, Li Luo subconsciously used the memory palace to search and reflect it, and soon found its origin in his childhood memory.

Do you still have it after all these years? This thing is much older than the panda doll that was left in Bihailanting.

They are already products of the kindergarten period.

Look at the red scarf hanging on the chair. Li Luo brought it from Lin Xiuhong last time and gave it to Ying Chanxi to wear.

After traveling abroad for so long, she has been wearing this scarf and never changed it.

The down jacket that she has worn the most these days is also the one that Li Luo chose for her when we went shopping together last time.

Li Luo looked at these and took a deep breath.

The emotions inside were surging, and I heard footsteps outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Li Luo immediately sat upright, his heart pounding, as if he was a death row prisoner about to face the execution ground, ready to be shot.

soon.

The footsteps stopped at the door.

The bedroom door was pushed open by Ying Chanxi outside the door.

Ying Chanxi, who was wearing panda pajamas, was about to walk into the bedroom when he saw a figure sitting in front of the desk. He was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks.

"Why did you come to my bedroom?"

Ying Chanxi had no mental preparation at this time. After trying a few times, he couldn't even smile, so he could only look at him expressionlessly, "I'm going to bed."

"Don't be in a hurry to sleep." Li Luo quickly stood up, closed the door, and pulled Ying Chanxi to sit on the edge of the bed. He coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "I just suddenly remembered,

I have something to say to you."

"Oh, really."

When Ying Chanxi heard this, he immediately stood up as if he was stressed, stared at Li Luo silently for a few seconds, and then said, "But I don't want to hear it now, how about you talk about it tomorrow."

"I think it would be better to say it earlier, what do you think?"

"No need." Ying Chanxi shook his head, "You go back first."

"Listen to me first."

"No, you go back." Ying Chanxi bit her lips and said softly.

"Xixi, actually I..." Li Luo had never seen her like this before, and he suddenly became a little anxious. He quickly stood up and explained in a panic while trying to calm Ying Chanxi's emotions.

But who would have thought that with one big move, Ying Chanxi suddenly felt like a volcano that had been building up for a long time erupted. He clenched the corners of his pajamas tightly with both fists, and veins appeared on his snow-white neck. He closed his eyes hard.

, scolded sharply with a hint of crying:

"I said! Let you get out! I don't want to hear it now! Don't you understand human language?!"

"No, no, no, don't get excited." Li Luo was a little at a loss and was startled by Ying Chanxi at this time. He wanted to let Ying Chanxi calm down first, "Listen to my explanation, okay? I

I know it's my fault, you..."

"You're not leaving, are you? Okay."

Ying Chanxi gave him an angry look, then grabbed the down jacket hanging on the back of the chair with her little hand, and rushed out of the bedroom before Li Luo could react.

By the time Li Luo reacted and rushed out, Ying Chanxi had already opened the door and ran out of the corridor, disappearing in an instant.

At this moment, Li Luo was completely anxious. He quickly stepped forward and chased after him like flying.

Fortunately, Li Luo was fast enough and always insisted on running in the morning. Soon he saw Ying Chanxi running along the stairs.

It's just that Ying Chanxi ran very fast when he was angry, and Li Luo couldn't catch up in the first place.

It wasn't until he ran out of the corridor and chased from the inside of the community to the entrance of the community that Li Luo finally caught up with Ying Chanxi's figure in front of him.

He reached out and yanked Ying Chanxi's wrist: "Xixi, listen to me, let's calm down first, okay?"

"Let go!" Ying Chanxi was stopped in place by his pull. He tried to break free, but was held tightly.

Her long hair was disheveled, covering her cheeks, and all she could hear was the sound of her struggling with all her strength, "Don't worry about me! Let go!"

This was the first time that Li Luo saw Ying Chanxi who was so out of control.

But he knew very well that if he let go at this time, he would really be a fool.

So he pulled hard. Not only did he not let go of his hand, but he also grabbed Ying Chanxi tightly with his other hand.

With a strong tug of both hands, he pulled the girl in front of him tightly into his arms.

This moment.

The world is quiet.

Ying Chanxi is like a helpless bird finally returning to its warm nest.

The original screams and strenuous struggles all disappeared at this moment.

"It's all my fault."

Li Luo hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Whether you hit me or scold me, I just want to ask you one thing, okay?"

"..." Ying Chanxi's head twisted in his arms. Seeing that he was hesitant to say the next sentence, she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"That's it." Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, "Don't ignore me, okay?"
