MTL - Peach and Plum Do Not Speak (The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms)-Chapter 48

On the way back, Liu Yiyi kept looking at Yan Xi with the corner of her eyes.

"Yan Xiaowu, I've never seen you quarrel so well before!"

"I thought that you asked me to come with you to ask me to help you quarrel..."

Yan Xi drove the car and glanced at her: "No, I was afraid that I would hit someone, and I brought you here so that you could stop me."

Liu Yiyi: "...Hehehe, you think I don't know that you have practiced boxing, but I don't dare, no, why didn't I know you were so domineering?"

"Look at you just now, that Tao Zhenzhen was speechless by what you said."

"You know now, I'm the most domineering one in my family, and my brothers are afraid of me."

Seeing that her eyes were smiling again, Liu Yiyi paused before asking, "You were telling the truth just now. If she doesn't step back, will you really sue her?"

Yan Xi pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "No, I'm bluffing her. For Tao Tao's sake, I won't sue her."

"From what I know about Tao Zhenzhen, she always chooses to deal with problems in a way that maximizes her interests. If a lawsuit is filed, she knows that she has little chance of winning, and it may also affect her current stable life. , she dare not."

Yan Xi slightly hooked her lips, with a hint of sarcasm: "If she really wants to tear her face off from me and is willing to sue me, I also think she really cares about Tao Tao."

Liu Yiyi thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "I've seen a lot of this kind of woman, and her life was unsatisfactory before, but now she's back home, I wish she could show the world, I don't think she really cares about Xiao Anzhi at all, it's because Back in Beicheng, I'm afraid there are too many acquaintances, knowing that she abandoned her daughter..."

"She didn't dare to answer your question just now, and she didn't dare to say how to arrange Xiao Anzhi. I guess she thinks Xiao Anzhi is too big, so she doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Like you said, she will be thrown into a boarding school and see you once a week. …”

"It makes no sense to say that I'm getting more and more angry..."

"However, don't mention tonight's matter to Tao Tao. I don't want her to know Tao Zhenzhen's attitude." Yan Xi's eyes stopped on the road ahead, the light in his eyes was vague, soft and gentle.

"Ah?...then?...how did you tell her?"

"I will tell her that I don't want her to leave me, and I don't agree with her going to Tao Zhenzhen."

"..." Liu Yiyi's teeth were sore again, and she always felt that something was wrong...

"...Oh..." Liu Yiyi cursed in her heart and thought about it. She was still wondering if it was because of her work that she watched too much. Now everyone looks a little bit like Jiji...

"What if she blames you in the future?"

"Then let her blame me. I'll be mentally prepared." Yan Xi was silent for a while, and finally said.

"Actually... Yan Xi... Don't you think you care too much about Xiao Anzhi?" Liu Yiyi pondered, but still spoke.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yan Xi wondered.

"Look, when did you have your own life in these years? Did you have any personal entertainment? Apart from work, you are Xiao Anzhi, and you take her to play during the holidays. She is going to high school right now, have you ever thought that it can be appropriate Just give yourself some space..."

"I always wanted to ask you, is it because of Xiao Anzhi that you have been single for so many years?"

Yan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You think so too?"

She shook her head lightly and said, "Aunt Xin also asked me last time... No, I didn't deliberately want to be single, I just felt that I was very comfortable in this state and didn't need to change."

"I was with Tao Tao, took her to play, and watched her grow up a little bit. This is my life at this stage. I don't feel that I have given up other things because of her."

Liu Yiyi listened and didn't speak any more. She can understand, she has been single for many years, she likes Yan Yixi, but frankly, she doesn't stalk him, she and Yan Xi are the kind of people who respect friends, keep boundaries, and don't interfere . Everyone has the right to choose the life they want without hurting others. They have their own rhythm, you can care, and you can't interfere.

"I know what you mean, but have you ever thought that at her speed, she will go to college soon, and you won't need you to protect her anymore, she has her own life, ideas, I'm just worried that you won't get used to it in the future, and you won't be able to adapt to this change all of a sudden. So are you trying to let go a little bit from now on?"

Yan Xi seemed to have never thought about this question, she was stunned.

The car drove into the brightly lit tunnel, and there was a whirring sound of wind passing by. The car was quiet for a while.

"I'll take you home first, I understand what you mean..." Yan Xi said, the car came out of the tunnel, and the bright light faded.

At this moment, her cell phone rang at the same time.

Yan Xi glanced at it, it was the landline at home. Press Handsfree.

It belonged to Grandma Liu: "An Zhi just woke up for a while, then went to sleep after eating. I just went to see her and she had a fever..."

"what?…"

"I'll be right back."

"I measured it, and it burned to more than 39 degrees..."

Hanging up the phone, Liu Yiyi said consciously, "I'll take a taxi back by myself."

After Yan Xi watched Liu Yiyi get into the car, he quickly drove home. When he got home, An Zhi slept soundly, his forehead was full of sweat and his lips were white. Yan Xi carried her and Grandma Liu to the Shekang outside the community. After going around all day and not eating, Yan Xi felt a little out of strength.

After arriving, the doctor took the temperature and hung up the potion immediately.

Yan Xi asked Grandma Liu to go back first, and waited in the hospital by herself. Before she left, Grandma Liu explained a few words that she still had porridge kept warm in the kitchen at home, and asked her to eat some when she went back.

Yan Xi nodded, took out a candy from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and sat next to An Zhi. He took out a tissue to wipe her sweat and brushed her hair.

An Zhi suddenly murmured, "Auntie..."

Yan Xi whispered, "I'm here."

An Zhi just murmured a few times, frowned, sniffed, and his eyes turned red again. She only cried in her sleep, just like when she was a child, she only cried in her dreams when she was wronged. Yan Xi lowered her eyelashes, stretched out her hand, and touched the top of her head naturally to comfort her.

When An Zhi woke up, she realized that she was lying on Yan Xi's back, and Yan Xi was walking slowly with her back. She slept soundly.

"Auntie... I'll come down and go by myself." An Zhi said, only to realize that his voice was still hoarse.

"Awake? It's alright, we're almost there." Yan Xi gasped, "Don't move, or we'll both fall over."

An Zhi obediently stood still. She looked around, it was very quiet, it seemed to be a little late, there was no one there, the night wind was cool on a summer night, and there were a few unknown insects chirping.

An Zhi felt that Yan Xi was really tired, and the area from the collar to the neck was slightly soaked with wet sweat. In the dim light of the community, there is a period of bright white tenderness.

"I can go by myself, I'm fine..." An Zhi was very distressed and insisted on getting down.

"Okay, okay, we're almost there... Still feeling sick?"

"No, I'm much better." An Zhi was stunned by her back, and his mind was still a little dizzy, but he did feel much more comfortable.

"I'll tell you the truth, I was going to hug you just now, but I don't think I can, I won't be able to walk very far, the nurse helped me to carry you on my back, you sleep like a pig, I don't have much energy anymore , don't move..." Yan Xi smiled.

An Zhi immediately obediently moved.

"Tao Tao..." Yan Xi chuckled, "Do you remember how often you cried when you were young?" Her voice was soft, like a breeze in her ears.

An Zhi blushed, and shyly said "um".

"But you said...I'll be as tall as you..." An Zhi touched the clothes on her shoulders with her forehead, feeling the temperature of the skin under the clothes, she whispered, "I...not yet."

Yan Xi was quiet, turned his face to her side, and said to her, "Tao Tao, I want you to stay by my side. I don't agree with Tao Zhenzhen taking you away."

An Zhi's heart trembled violently, and the lines of Yan Xi's side face, from forehead to chin, were beautiful and well-proportioned.

Her gaze moved up from her jawline, Yan Xi's lips were a little dry, she had never noticed that her lower lip was thicker than her upper lip, and the arch between the two lips was very beautiful. From such beautiful lips.

"Can you?"

An Zhi bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyelashes, nodded vigorously, and said "um".

Yan Xi thought of what Liu Yiyi had just said, her chest heaved and she hid the other sentence.

At least until...you're as tall as me.
