634 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 12, Love Rival Her Brother (60) Part 1

Xiao Yao obviously didn’t expect Xue Xue to ask this.

He was stunned for dozens of seconds before he came back to his senses.

“Yes.” Xiao Yao didn’t want to hide it from her.“But I rarely smoke, so when I’m stressed, I’ll take one or two to relieve my stress.”

As he spoke, he frowned.

“How do you know I can smoke?”

Xiao Yao had never smoked in front of Xue Xue, and he couldn’t even find a lighter at home.

Faced with his doubts, Xue Xue smiled mysteriously.

“Take a guess.”

“Well…” After thinking seriously for a while, Xiao Yao shook his head.”I have no clue, just tell me the answer.”

“Okay.”

After biting the last bite of the cake, Xue Xue suddenly jumped down from the small earth wall.

“Hey, be careful.”

“No, this height is very safe for me.” With a playful smile, Xue Xue then answered: “Teacher Guo told me.”

“Teacher Guo? Guo Wenxiang?” Xiao Yao laughed after receiving a positive answer.”But how did he know that I can smoke? That time when I was with you at Guo Wenhao’s hometown, it should be the first time I met him.”

Xiao Yao thought about it and found that his memory should be correct.

“Well, this is your first time meeting him, but this isn’t him.”

After simply relaying the story Guo Wenxiang told him to him, Xiao Yao suddenly understood.

“When you said that, I remembered that Guo Wenhao had indeed asked me several times if I was interested in being a model.”

“But you rejected him?”

“Well, I like research work very much. Maybe it’s a bit psychological. I always feel like I’m following in the footsteps of my parents and doing something very sacred.” Xiao Yao paused.”It’s very reassuring.”

Hearing this, Xue Xue looked at him.

After a while, she smiled too.

The eyebrows and eyes are curved, like the crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

Gentle and dazzling, shining.

“I also like brother Xiao Yao who does research, although I am a little curious about what would happen if you and I entered the same industry.”

“It won’t happen.”

“That’s right. We will still be together anyway. It has nothing to do with what kind of work we will do in the future.”

“Well, that’s the reason.”

After saying that, Xiao Yao took her hand, and the two of them continued walking home.

“You said that you only smoke to relieve yourself when you are under great pressure?” After a moment of silence, Xue Xue suddenly spoke and continued the topic.”Teacher Guo probably remembers that scene so deeply that he still remembers the time clearly.”

Xiao Yao stopped.

“It was when I was in high school.” Xue Xue raised her eyes and looked at him.”That’s when you knew I liked Feng Yang, right?”

Xiao Yao said nothing.

Xue Xue was not in a hurry, just counting his eyelashes with great interest.

Xiao Yao has a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, but his temperament is cold. Perhaps it is related to his habit of drooping his eyelids, which makes it difficult for people to see what he is thinking, which invisibly creates a sense of distance.

“Indeed, it has something to do with you.” Xiao Yao finally spoke up.”I’ve liked you since the beginning.”

“But at that time, I couldn’t tell which one I liked. I just felt that I should take care of you, protect you, and accompany you, just like…you did when I first arrived at the Jiang family.”

In fact, besides accompanying him, Xue Yayan did not take care of Xiao Yao, let alone protect him.

She has always been the one protected by Xiao Yao.

However, Xue Xue could understand Xiao Yao’s mood.

For Xiao Yao, whose family had become fragmented overnight and who suddenly lost his parents and became an orphan at that time, Xue Yayan broke into his world in a reckless and willful way. On the contrary, it was easier to move Xiao Yao than an adult’s scrupulous and cautious approach to please.

Sometimes, meeting at the right time is more important than anything else.

Thinking about it, Xue Xue clenched Xiao Yao’s hand.

This action is silent encouragement.

Although Xiao Yao still maintained the same posture, with his eyebrows lowered and his face expressionless, Xue Xue could detect from the details of his body that he was already more relaxed and calm than before.

You can also hear some clues from the tone of voice.

“I originally thought that I would confess to you when you graduate from high school and become an adult.”

“I didn’t expect…” Xiao Yao’s lips drew a bitter arc.”You have someone you like.”

“Brother Xiao Yao…”

“But it’s not entirely because of this.” Finally, Xiao Yao met her gaze.”At that time, I was faced with choosing a research topic, and I couldn’t make a decision, so I was frustrated for a long time.”

“Hmm… Then how did you get out of it?”

In the past, Xue Xue had always looked at Xiao Yao from Xue Yayan’s perspective and guessed his inner thoughts.

Now she also wants to hear what Xiao Yao thinks.

After all, they were already so close.
