392 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Ten, Disqualified Idols (15)

“Why on earth are you investigating Yi Lang?”

Over the weekend, Xue Zhinian, who met with Xue Xue, asked straight to the point.

After Xue Zhiyou and Xue Zhinian went to study abroad, the Xue family had the habit of holding family gatherings on the last weekend of every month. Although their parents later moved abroad, they still retained it.

But the location changed from home to a restaurant outside.

“Well, why…” Xue Xue shook the red wine glass and watched the liquid coated with a glaze-like color create a small vortex inside.”Xue Zhinian, you asked a very good question, but…”

She raised her eyes and looked into the eyes of the young man opposite who concealed concern with impatience.

“I can’t tell you the answer yet.”

“…Xue, Zhi, You──” Xue Zhinian’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.”What’s wrong with you lately? Do you know that you’ve been really weird lately!”

It was both wrong and strange. It was conceivable that Xue Zhinian also noticed something strange about his sister.

It stands to reason that she should follow Xue Zhiyou’s “personality” and use gentleness and tolerance to untie Xue Zhinian’s heart knot in order to fulfill Xue Zhiyou’s wish.

But Xue Xue thought this was too boring.

She and Xue Zhiyou were originally different people. Xue Zhiyou was a unique existence, and so was she.

Although he is now living under the other person’s identity, Xue Xue will never compromise on preserving himself.

What’s more…

“How do you know?”

Xue Zhinian was startled by the sudden rhetorical question.

“What?”

“I said, how do you know?” Xue Xue repeated patiently.”Do you know me well? How many times have we met a year? How long have we been together? How do you know that the side of me that I show to you is the real me and not just a facade to reassure my parents?”

Xue Zhinian is not stupid, on the contrary, he is smart enough.

After only one turn, he understood what Xue Xue meant.

At that moment, the expression on the young man’s face changed wonderfully.

Therefore, human beings are really a magical species. They can make small and large adjustments to create different feelings just by relying on their five senses.

But after all, they were the family members that Xue Zhiyou cared about so much that Xue Xue stopped irritating him.

“Of course I have my reasons and intentions for investigating Yi Lang. Don’t worry, we are all adults. We are responsible for our own affairs. I will not implicate you.”

This is about retreating into advancement. Xue Xue knows it, and Xue Zhinian also knows it.

However…

“What do you mean by this?” Xue Zhinian, who had a serious expression on his face, was very similar to Xue Yonghua when he was young.”Xue Zhiyou, didn’t you make peace with me? But your current behavior…do you really regard me as your family?”

“Of course.”

Xue Xue answered without hesitation, which made Xue Zhinian choke.

He didn’t know what to answer for a moment, so he simply closed his mouth and said nothing.

The silence lasted until the end of dinner.

When all the empty plates were collected and only the last dessert was left, Xue Zhinian finally spoke.

“I also treat you as family.”

One sentence diverted Xue Xue’s attention from the mobile phone.

She looked at Xue Zhinian, but Xue Zhinian avoided her gaze.

Seems to be embarrassed.

“I can understand that everyone has secrets, it’s just…”

Xue Zhinian bit his lip, which was the most common expression he made when he was shy when he was a child.

Xue Xue waited for him to finish speaking.

“Sister.” As if he had made up his mind, the young man closed his eyes and said simply: “I hope you remember that no matter what happens, you still have family and… us.”

Even if the light is soft, the signs of Xue Zhinian’s face turning from white to red are still very obvious.

Xue Xue looked at it and suddenly smiled.

This smile was like lighting a switch, painting Xue Zhinian’s skin with a rouge-like color.

“You, you’re laughing – why are you laughing!” He said dryly: “What’s so funny!”

The higher the pitch, the more obvious it is.

Xue Xue also understood the principle of giving up when it was easy. Knowing that it was not easy for Xue Zhinian to say these words, he simply suppressed his narrow smile and returned to seriousness.

This matter is just like courtship, it must be done step by step, otherwise it will accidentally scare the person away or retract into the protective shell, which will be difficult to pry open again.

What’s more, they are no longer children with all kinds of emotions and emotions. In adults, many things are often said but not revealed.

“Thank you, Zhinian.” Xue Xue’s expression was serious as she supported her chin with her hand.”I will remember it. No matter what, I have family members who love me around me. This is really a lucky thing.”

Xue Xue’s mood jumped so fast that Xue Zhinian couldn’t keep up for a while.

The woman’s beautiful face seemed to be coated with a layer of broken light under the soft light. Even after many years, when everything had settled, Xue Zhinian still remembered this moment clearly.

Beautiful eyebrows and gentle eye color.

It was clearly a picture of peaceful time, but while Xue Zhinian’s heart was throbbing, there was an unspeakable sourness rising from his heart.

It seems like something has been lost and can never be recovered.
