949 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Sixteen, Two Brothers (110)

The surprise was fleeting.

Xue Xue thought that among the gossips that Yu Enfei had mentioned to him, one of them was about Chen Ye.

“So…” She thought about her words.”Are you going back to your parents’ house?”

“Mom and Dad’s house?”

Seemingly finding this statement interesting, Chen Ye chuckled.

But Xue Xue already knew him well, and knew that even if his expression did not change, there was a hint of ridicule in Chen Ye’s tone.

Everyone has a story.

Xue Xue suddenly discovered that what she knew about Chen Ye’s past was actually quite limited.

But for some reason, I didn’t have the urge to investigate.

Perhaps, just dealing with his own problems has made Xue Xue feel quite tired, and it is difficult to allocate extra energy.

Moreover, if Chen Ye wanted to say something, he would naturally tell himself.

Just like she told him about the past with Zhao He’an.

Xue Xue has always felt that most of the time, just let nature take its course.

Even if the relationship is already quite close, maintaining distance and private space in some places can actually provide flexibility to the relationship.

Chen Ye only needs to know one thing.

“Not going home, just going back.”

Suddenly, the man said.

In just eight words, Xue Xue understood what Chen Ye meant.

“Because the place where I am is home, right?”

The half-joking and half-serious words quickly softened Chen Ye’s tense expression.

He looked at Xue Xue, and Xue Xue also stared at him.

When their eyes met, the two of them had a clear understanding of each other.

Secrets that can be understood without unraveling them are the product of trust.

Stretching out his long arms, Chen Ye pulled the person into his arms.

“Yes.”

He lowered his head, and the hot breath and the aroma of mints rushed into Xue Xue’s senses, filling all the gaps.

Like a stone thrown into the middle of a lake, a small particle can cause thousands of ripples.

“My home is where you are.”

I also hope that the place where I am can become a harbor where you can anchor safely.

“Call me if you need anything.”

“Well, don’t worry, I can take care of myself on my own.” Xue Xue opened the potato chips while video chatting with Chen Ye.”Don’t worry about me, okay? I’m not a three-year-old.”

Even though he said this, the feeling of being missed still made Xue Xue feel warm in his heart.

It was in stark contrast to the windy and snowy weather outside.

“Of course you are not a three-year-old child.” Chen Ye laughed.”By the way, do you want to go back to Jingxi?”

“Well, Eunbi and I made an appointment to hang out together.”

After learning through the phone that she had a quarrel with her family, Yu Enfei asked Xue Xue to return to Beijing to spend the holidays with her without saying a word.

However, Xue Xue felt that this was not polite and declined after hesitation.

The reason he found was that he wanted to live a two-person world with Chen Ye.

After hearing what she said, Yu Enfei stopped insisting.

“That’s okay.”

As the car entered the tunnel, communications were somewhat affected.

“No matter what, keep in touch and remember to charge your phone.”

Knowing that he was worried about Zhao He’an’s irregular orders, Xue Xue responded obediently.

“I know, hang up first.”

After Chen Ye hung up the phone, Xue Xue couldn’t help but smile when he looked at the photos sent by the man.

Before dating, I didn’t expect that there was such a part in Chen Ye’s character.

Just like an old woman.

But I have to admit, it feels good to be cared about all the time.

Xue Xue felt that this should be Xue Qi’s emotion.

In fact, what she longs for is never material satisfaction, but psychological fulfillment.

But both her mother, Wang Lihua, and her later husband, Zhao He’an, scorned this.

Perhaps they think they have given enough.

But those are neither what Xue Qi wants nor what she can afford. Instead, they are more like charity and favors given to satisfy herself.

Although they were family members in name, they were never on the same page, so it was no wonder that they became strangers in the end and ended miserably.

“I’m sorry, brother, for causing you trouble this time.”

“Don’t say that. I didn’t call you to hear your apology.”

“Brother…”

“Xue Qi.”

Zhao Heping suddenly called her by her name, which made Xue Xue’s nerves tense up unconsciously.

“Huh?”

“I hope you call me big brother and really treat me as your big brother in your heart.”

Hearing this, Xue Xue was startled.

“In the past…” He paused, as if he was thinking about how to choose the right words.”I may have acted inappropriately in the past, but now I truly regard you as my sister.”

“Can you understand what I mean?”

Xue Xue’s silence made Zhao Heping add another sentence.

Only then did she come to her senses.

“I understand, brother.” Trying to keep his voice steady, Xue Xue whispered: “I can understand.”

It was hard to control my emotions for a while, and my sore nose seemed to be brewing into tears.

Xue Xue blinked hard twice.

Perhaps, this is what Xue Qi has been waiting for.

Zhao Heping’s voice became softer as he didn’t know if he could hear the turmoil in her heart.

“If you have anything, you can discuss it with me.” He paused.”Even if it’s Aunt Wang, I should be able to speak to some extent.”

“Not to mention He’an’s side.”

“To me, you two are the same. You are my younger brother and sister. There will be no difference because of blood relationship.”

“I know, brother.” Xue Xue’s hand holding the phone clenched unconsciously.”I’ve known it since I was in high school.”

Without Zhao Heping’s help, Zhao He’an would not have been able to go abroad. If Zhao He’an had not gone abroad, she would not have had a peaceful college life for several years.

“It’s good to know.” Zhao Heping seemed to smile.”When you return to West Beijing, treat it as a holiday and take advantage of the New Year to have a good rest.”

“Okay.”

“Then I’ll hang up first.”

“Okay, eh, brother, wait a minute──” Taking a deep breath, Xue Xue made up his mind to resolve the matter at once.”When the Spring Festival is over, I’ll treat my eldest brother to a meal. I… I have something I want to talk to you alone.”
