41 Sister and Brother Gather
41 Sister and Brother Gather
Originally, I agreed with Yiting to stay at her house for two days, and we planned to go to Jiufen for a day trip the next day, and then go to the night market or something.
But the piles of plans were all ruined because of the sudden murder of my girlfriend who came to pick me up in the morning!
As soon as Siqi heard that I wanted to go home first, she immediately volunteered to "pick up" me. Just as I was full of anticipation and wanted to say how she would "pick up", the next morning it was a group of people who appeared at the door of Yiting's house. A brand new RV; not only Yiting's eyes widened, even I was super surprised!
When Siqi got out of the driver's seat and went around to carry my luggage for me, Yiting's eyes widened, and I even felt her eyeballs were about to fall out.
"What's the history of your neighbor?"
She took off her handsome sunglasses, winked at me in front of Yiting, and said with a friendly smile, "Princess Xiaoning is back to normal?" Then she picked up the suitcase I brought and got on the car.
Seeing this, Yiting immediately whispered to me, "Xiaoning! Your neighbor looks at you so strangely..."
"How could it be?" I smiled awkwardly, "Just like you, best friend!"
"Really?" She looked puzzled, and under the pressure of her eyes, I continued to look at the ground and play innocent. "Wait a minute! You said last night that you have someone you like, so she is..."
I frowned, knowing that now was not the time to explain.
"Is there anything else?" Siqi asked, pointing to the trunk.
"Oh! No more, just a suitcase and backpack."
I grabbed Yiting's hand and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you about my neighbor and I will tell you later. Anyway, don't make random guesses, okay?"
"oh oh."
I had no time to pay attention to Yiting's questioning, so I got into her car and waved goodbye to Yiting before leaving.
"Where did you get the car? And you actually came to pick me up from my classmate's house. I was so shocked when you called me!" I pouted, complaining and buckling up my seat belt.
She hooked her lips, "If I told you that this car is mine, would you believe it?"
"Your?" Although it is not a very expensive imported car, but... such a big new car, 80 to [-] won't be able to escape!
"Well, my dad gave it to me when I was in college, and I kept it with a friend and asked her to help me maintain it; I haven't touched it for about a year, right? The car is still running smoothly."
She is tall and handsome in a car. I was fascinated by her demeanor. After a while, I realized, "Where are we going?" This is not the direction to go back to school!
"I originally wanted to take you home first, and then take you back to my house; unfortunately, something unexpected happened now, and I just received the news... You have been to my hometown, and it is more convenient to drive there .”
Back, back to your home!take me! "Tao Siqi...why didn't you tell me yesterday!"
"I'm sorry, it really happened suddenly." She pushed off her sunglasses, her face full of apology. "I originally planned to take you home at some time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... But my aunt just said yesterday that my mother was in the emergency department and urged me to go back and have a look; you just said that you would bring things back to the dormitory today, so I went I will bring you a car to take you, and I will go home on the way."
When it was mentioned that her mother was in the emergency room, the little anger that had just been ignited disappeared instantly. "Is your mother okay?"
"I heard that last night I suddenly had a high fever that reached nearly [-] degrees. I was given a drip, and now I am going home to rest. The condition is still stable."
Knowing that the old man is fine, I feel at ease at first, but then I think about it, and there is another reason for worrying more. "Then... Is Tao Yi'an at home?"
She gave me a teasing smile back. "What you should ask is when will he be away from home."
Too!He has limited mobility. "Oh! Then you still want me to have a face-to-face showdown with him!"
"I think it's better not to hide this kind of thing; and I know Yi'an, he will definitely show perseverance in the face of anyone, anything, as long as he wants it."
Just seeing his expression focused on painting, I can probably guess Tao Yi'an's patience and persistence—to put it bluntly, he is stubborn!
"You will continue to have opportunities to meet each other next semester. You just rejected him verbally, and didn't let him know that you belonged. He will still look forward to you."
When it comes to "holding expectations", I can't help but tremble all over. "Hey...he's really not bad, but..."
"Xiaoning, let me ask you a question...it may be a bit sharp."
I looked at her profile, who was concentrating on driving, "It's okay, you ask."
"If you met a healthy Yi'an, would you still choose to be with me?"
I froze for a moment, feeling humiliated for a moment! "I will!" The tone of the answer was stronger than usual. "It's not that I dislike Tao Yi'an's feet... and although I did hesitate about girls falling in love; but, I really like you! And you are very good to me..."
"Well, sorry, I admit the question was a bit harsh; sorry." She came to shake my hand, and I noticed she was shaking too. "The reason why I ask this is because Yi'an must have the same question in his heart... Now that I know your answer, I can face him more confidently, and so do you."
"Siqi..."
She tugged at the corners of her lips, "When I meet them later, just stay by my side, keep silent about questions you are not sure about answering, and leave all the pressure to me...it may be hard to bear, so be mentally prepared .”
After all, she hasn't been home for three years, and I also understand that the blame she may suffer is far greater than I can imagine.
However, I am willing to face it with her.
I held her back, and the car went all the way through the secluded neighborhood, and came to the single-family house that I had been to several times; Stop in front of the house gate.
Even though I have been here twice, I only saw Tao Yi'an. I have never met their parents, so I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She tidied up her scarf and hung her glasses on her neckline, "Let's go and see my mother; if my father is not at home, things should go much smoother." Hearing "if he is not at home", somehow relieved me a little pressure.
She took my hand generously, and we interlocked our fingers. When we entered the mansion, the atmosphere felt wrong.There was no one in the living room on the first floor. Before we were about to go upstairs, we met the housekeeper. She glanced at me, but when she saw Siqi, she looked surprised, as if she had seen a ghost... I almost forgot it was New Year's Eve.
"Where's my mother?"
"My wife is resting in the room... Miss, you..."
"Well, my friend." She said lightly, and the auntie housekeeper kept her eyes locked on me in the end, probably to make sure that the person Tao Yi'an brought home with me is the same person.
Holding the amethyst hidden in the high-necked top, I felt that the atmosphere this time was more stagnant than when I was a guest before, as if there was an invisible pressure on my chest, making people breathless.Siqi took me through the corridor, and I realized that she was going to take me to the big room facing the window!
"Wait, wait! Not here!"
"Huh?" Siqi pointed to the room at the end of the corridor, "But my mother's room is indeed..."
"It was changed to Tao Yi'an's room over there, it's not there now!"
"Really?" It turned out that she didn't know; I pulled her out of the room, guessing it was the other side.Unexpectedly, her master has not come back for a long time, but I, the guest, have become a seasoned horse!
As we walked around the second floor of the mansion, we hoped that we would not run into Tao Yi'an just like this; there are too many rooms here, and there is an illusion that we may bump into him at any time.We came to the other side, which was her father's room, and I realized that her parents had been sleeping separately.
"Will Tao Yi'an be inside?"
She bent her lips and smiled, "Even if he is inside, you don't need to be afraid! You have already told him so clearly."
Yes, that's right!But if he finds out that I am actually with his sister, I always feel that he will definitely suffer a big blow.
"Besides, I'm by your side; don't worry too much."
Is it the other way around?It is because you are here that I am more worried!I smiled bitterly and let her lead me; the door of the room was right in front of me.
Please, please don't meet Tao Yi'an at this time, it's almost noon now, he should stay in the restaurant quietly and eat alone, right?Please don't just meet up like this!
I kept praying in my heart, and the closer I got to the door, the faster my heart beat.I closed my eyes to escape!
Then I heard muffled, muffled conversations in the room.
Siqi walked into the room generously, and the two people inside quickly interrupted their conversation because of our arrival; I opened my eyes and saw a very comfortable and simple big bed.
And beside the bed, the electric wheelchair that I am familiar with is docked.
he is.
Tao Yi'an turned his head, and his face turned pale the moment he met my eyes.
It's a pity... things backfired.

"You still know you want to go home."
It was Mama Tao who spoke; she was lying on the bed with her lips curled up, with half-eaten porridge next to her.The tone of voice was a little cold, even a little helpless, I thought it was okay, at least I didn't lose my temper when I saw Siqi.
"Well, I'll come back to see you." She let go of me temporarily, and I stayed where I was and lowered my head, not daring to look at Mother Tao, let alone Tao Yi'an. "Are you feeling better? Auntie told me that you were sent to the emergency room yesterday..."
"I've been in and out of the hospital more than once in the past three years, and I've blown you back this time; didn't you? I met your aunt."
"Well. Mom, let me introduce you. This is my friend. We are neighbors and traveling companions. Her surname is Yu, and her name is Yu Xiaoning."
"Hello, Mama Tao." I stood close to a small walk to salute; after the initial astonishment, Tao Yi'an seemed to have figured out the relationship between me and Siqi to some extent.Can't hide the disappointment and don't start.
"Well, if it's just a friend, wouldn't it be inappropriate to choose this time to be a guest at home?" Mama Tao looked at me, but said the words to Siqi, obviously implying something. "Miss Yu, I'm sorry, this disobedient daughter of our family is always duplicity; the visitor is a guest, you can find a seat at will? The reception is not good, I'm sorry."
I politely said "where", glanced at the sofa in the distance, and quickly gave up the idea of finding a seat.Listening to Tao's mother and Siqi talking about what they haven't been able to say in the past few years, the atmosphere between mother and daughter can be called peaceful, which makes me feel relieved.
"You and her..." Tao Yi'an said suddenly, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Really? She's the reason why you made that call?" He turned to me at some point and spoke to me.
The wry smile on the corner of his mouth expressed his regret and bitterness.
He asked again, not paying attention to his mother and sister at all. "You guys already knew each other?"
"Hmm, um." I held my breath, knowing that there was no need to hide it now. "Sister Tao... Siqi moved in opposite to me at the beginning of the semester. We are on the same floor."
His lips curved into a strange arc, "That's why you asked me how tall she was, and acted so surprised when I knew Chu was my sister."
"sorry."
"No, you don't need to apologize...I can understand why you don't want to confess to me easily; it's too embarrassing." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect it to be like this? Me and her..."
I can only keep silent.
