Chapter 237 I don’t want to listen now!

When Li Luo and Ying Chanxi went upstairs, Secretary Rong and the driver had already delivered the luggage and hurried down from upstairs.

After passing by the two children, Secretary Rong and the driver said goodbye politely and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ying Zhicheng in front went back to the house early, leaving the door open for Ying Chanxi.

This scene, in Li Luo's eyes, actually confirmed his previous speculation.

So when he saw Ying Chanxi go upstairs without saying a word, and when he returned to the fourth floor, he went straight to Room 402 without informing him, Li Luo immediately reached out and grabbed Ying Chanxi.

"What's wrong?" Ying Chanxi looked down at Li Luo who was holding her hand, then looked at him with a smile.

This smile was obviously the same as usual, but Li Luo always felt that it had a deliberate flavor and was not as natural as before.

But Li Luo really didn't know how to properly comment and comfort Ying Zhicheng regarding his family affairs.

So he could only say, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, why don't you come sit with me for a while?"

Ying Chanxi shook his head and just looked at him with a smile: "I thought you had something to say to me?"

"Me?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Ying Chanxi meant.

Seeing this, Ying Chanxi slightly restrained the smile on his face. When he turned his head and faced the open door of his house, his face suddenly became expressionless, and he walked straight into his house. "Nothing, I'm very tired from playing these days. I'll go to bed early today. I still have to go shopping for New Year's goods tomorrow."

After saying that, Ying Chanxi had already walked into the house. When he turned around and looked at Li Luo, a sweet smile appeared on his face again. He waved to Li Luo and said, "Good night."

"Uh...ah...well..." Li Luo blinked. He was still a little unaccustomed to Ying Chanxi like this, and subconsciously responded twice, "Good night."

After saying that, there was a slight click and the door was closed.

Li Luo stood in the corridor, looking at the tightly closed door of Room 402, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Ying Chanxi’s current condition feels a bit bad...it’s really a headache.

It would have been fine if she had just vented her emotions and cried and made a scene in front of him.

But the current situation made Li Luo feel even more distressed.

If I had known earlier, I should have dragged her over here.

Li Luo reviewed the situation in his mind.

As for now, since it’s like this, I should just go to bed first.

But that's it.

The door of 402 was opened again.

Li Luo subconsciously looked up, thinking that Ying Chanxi had come out again.

When he looked up, Li Luo was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Ying?"

"Still there?" Ying Zhicheng looked at Li Luo, then turned his head to look in the direction of his living room, as if he was confirming something, and then turned his head to look at Li Luo again, "Xixi told you, right?"

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned again. He was like a computer that had crashed. Ying Zhicheng kept saying it to him. "Uncle Ying, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned by Li Luo's reaction, "I thought..."

"Why?" Li Luo couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw Ying Zhicheng like this, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart, "Uncle Ying, don't just say half of the words."

"Hey... don't talk to me like that, you're obviously the one being dishonest." Ying Zhicheng said unhappily, "I think it's better for Xixi to tell you about this herself."

"Anything else." Seeing that he was about to close the door, Li Luo quickly grabbed the door and put his foot in the crack, smiling and saying, "Uncle Ying, please tell me. I see that Xixi is not in a very good mood. Could it be that I have offended her in some way?"

"You know it in your heart." Ying Zhicheng rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly, "You did so many good things, but you just hid it from Xixi. You are quite amazing."

As soon as these words came out, even though Ying Zhicheng didn't say it explicitly, Li Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"That's not right... I haven't even told you yet." Li Luo muttered to himself, not being able to figure out where he had given himself away. "Zhu Sheng also said that she wouldn't tell Aunt Yuan."

Ying Zhicheng heard his mumbling and laughed twice: "You have been an uncle for so many years, and you have worked hard in the workplace for nothing?"

"You were hanging around my company last time, did you really think I believed your words?"

"I immediately asked my secretary to check your situation. The result was quite surprising."

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo's face suddenly changed: "No... Uncle Ying... you..."

"I didn't expose you on my own initiative." Uncle Ying raised his hand and pointed at him, "I was thinking at the time that our Xixi should be an insider in this kind of thing."

"I even thought that Xixi was the one who helped you hide the secret from the people around you."

"So I haven't mentioned this to you two, but I actually knew about it a long time ago."

"It was only during this trip when I talked to her about this that I realized she didn't know about it."

"That's right." Ying Zhicheng clapped his hands, spread them out, and said with a headache, "I didn't intend to tell you, but Xixi has been in a bad mood these days."

"I thought things would get better after I came back and met you, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"She's taking a shower now. That's all I'll tell you. You can handle it yourself."

After saying this, Ying Zhicheng reached out and pried Li Luo's fingers apart, kicked his foot out, and then immediately closed the door.

As for Ying Zhicheng, he could certainly see some of his daughter's little thoughts.

But he's just a kid, he was like that when he was little, so he can understand it a little bit.

As for Li Luo, Ying Zhicheng could also understand him. After all, he had some things of his own that he had been hiding from his daughter and had not dared to tell her.

Perhaps out of empathy between men, or perhaps to pave the way for his future showdown, Ying Zhicheng finally revealed some information to Li Luo in private.

After all, in Ying Zhicheng's opinion, his daughter has never lacked friends since she was a child.

But the one with the best relationship is definitely Li Luo.

If possible, Ying Zhicheng did not want his daughter to lose this most important friend, or for any cracks to appear in the relationship between the two.

Children's minds are very fragile and sensitive.

If this incident affects the relationship between the two children, it may very likely affect my daughter's high school life, and even the college entrance examination and even university.

Under the long-term influence, Ying Zhicheng even had to think over and over again whether or not to confront his daughter about his emotional affairs.

While Ying Zhicheng was thinking about this, Li Luo, who was standing in the corridor outside the door, felt numb all over.

He originally thought that it was Ying Zhicheng himself who had confronted Ying Chanxi, which caused Ying Chanxi to be in a bad mood.

It turned out that it wasn't the mine on Uncle Ying's side that exploded, but the mine on his side exploded first?

What is the most painful thing in this world?

When you are about to do your homework, your parents suddenly ask you, "Why are you still playing? Why don't you do your homework?"

If you do your homework at this time, then in the eyes of your parents, it is their urging that has taken effect, not that you really want to do your homework.

This is how Li Luo feels now.

He had clearly been planning to reveal his cards, but why did he seem to be forced into doing so?

Well... actually I was a little bit forced into this.

However, Li Luo felt more or less guilty and did not plan to continue hiding it from Ying Chanxi.

But he originally planned to wait until he returned to the countryside and then find an opportunity to explain things to Ying Chanxi.

It seems now... Li Luo scratched his head and sighed.

He looked at the door of Room 402 in front of him, groped in the gap between the couplets on the door, took out a spare key, and quietly opened the door.

Ying Zhicheng had already returned to the master bedroom.

The living room was empty.

When Li Luo walked into the living room, he could hear the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom.

Ying Chanxi was obviously still taking a shower.

After confirming this, Li Luo first sat on the sofa in the living room.

But when he thought that Ying Zhicheng was in the bedroom, he would probably be able to hear the noise in the living room, so Li Luo stood up again, thought about it, walked into Ying Chanxi's bedroom, and sat down in front of her desk.

This was not the first time Li Luo had entered Ying Chanxi's bedroom.

But like now, taking advantage of Ying Chanxi's absence, this should be the first time that he came in alone and sat around.

Before this, he had never observed Ying Chanxi's room like this.

Soon, he noticed that there was a small transparent box against the wall of the desk, locked with a combination lock.

Inside lay envelopes of various kinds.

Just by looking through the box, Li Luo could tell at a glance that the envelopes inside were all pen pal letters he had written to Ying Chanxi this semester.

Each letter was preserved intact by Ying Chanxi.

In addition, on the bedside table were Pikachu and Doraemon given to her by Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu, but they no longer looked as new as when they were first bought.

It feels older than before the winter break.

Looking at the pillow again, there was a small blanket that Li Luo had once glimpsed briefly.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, nor had he gone out of his way to think about it.

At that time, Ying Chanxi said in a hurry that this thing was just a pillowcase.

When he saw the familiar object again, Li Luo subconsciously used his memory palace to search and reflect on it, and soon found its origin in his childhood memories.

It has been kept for so many years... This thing is much older than the panda doll left in Bi Hai Lan Ting.

They are all products of the kindergarten period.

Look at the red scarf hanging on the chair. It was the one Li Luo took from Lin Xiuhong last time and gave to Ying Chanxi.

She has been wearing this scarf all the time while traveling abroad and has never changed it.

The down jacket she has worn the most recently was the one that Li Luo picked for her when they went clothes shopping together last time.

Li Luo looked at these and took a deep breath.

As my emotions were surging, I heard footsteps outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Li Luo immediately sat up straight, his heart pounding, just like a death row prisoner about to face the execution ground, ready to be shot.

soon.

The footsteps stopped at the door.

The bedroom door was pushed open by Ying Chanxi outside.

Ying Chanxi, who was wearing panda pajamas, was about to walk into the bedroom when he saw a figure sitting in front of the desk. He was stunned for a moment and stopped.

"Why are you in my bedroom?"

Ying Chanxi was not mentally prepared at this time. After trying for a few times, he couldn't smile at all. He could only look at him expressionlessly and said, "I'm going to sleep."

"Don't rush to sleep." Li Luo quickly stood up, closed the door, and pulled Ying Chanxi to sit beside the bed. He coughed twice to clear his throat, and then said seriously, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to tell you."

"Oh, is it so."

When Ying Chanxi heard this, he stood up immediately as if he was under pressure, stared at Li Luo silently for a few seconds, and then said, "But I don't want to listen to it now, why don't you talk to me tomorrow."

"I think it's better to say it sooner rather than later, what do you think?"

"No need." Ying Chanxi shook his head, "You go back first."

"Listen to me first."

"No, go back." Ying Chanxi bit her lip and said softly.

"Xixi, actually I..." Li Luo had never seen her like this before, and suddenly felt anxious. He quickly stood up and explained in a panic while trying to calm Ying Chanxi's emotions.

But who knew that as soon as he made a big move, Ying Chanxi suddenly erupted like a volcano that had been accumulating for a long time. He clenched the corners of his pajamas with his fists, and veins popped out on his snow-white neck. He closed his eyes tightly and shouted shrilly with a hint of tears in his voice:
"I told you to get out! I don't want to hear it now! Don't you understand what I'm saying?!"

"No, no, no, don't get excited." Li Luo was a little at a loss. He was frightened by Ying Chanxi at this moment. He wanted to calm Ying Chanxi down first, "Please listen to my explanation, okay? I know it's my fault, you..."

"You're not leaving, right? Fine."

Ying Chanxi gave him an angry look, then grabbed the down jacket hanging on the back of the chair with her little hand, and rushed out of the bedroom before Li Luo could react.

By the time Li Luo reacted and rushed out, Ying Chanxi had already opened the door and ran out of the corridor, disappearing in an instant.

This made Li Luo completely anxious. He quickly took a step forward and chased after him like the wind.

Fortunately, Li Luo was fast enough as he usually ran in the morning. He soon saw Ying Chanxi running down the stairs.

However, Ying Chanxi was so angry that he ran very fast, so Li Luo was unable to catch up with him in the first place.

It was not until he ran out of the corridor and chased from inside the community to the gate that Li Luo finally caught up with Ying Chanxi's figure in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Ying Chanxi's wrist: "Xixi, listen to me, let's calm down first, okay?"

"Let go!" Ying Chanxi was stopped in place by him and tried to break free, but was held tightly.

Her long hair was spread out, covering her face. All that could be heard was her struggling with all her might, "Don't bother me! Let go!"

It was the first time that Li Luo saw Ying Chanxi so emotionally out of control.

But he knew very well that if he let go at this time, he would be a real idiot.

So he pulled hard, and not only did he not let go, but he also held Ying Chanxi tightly with his other hand.

He pulled hard with both hands and held the girl in front of him tightly in his arms.

This moment.

The world is quiet.

Ying Chanxi was like a helpless bird finally returning to its warm nest.

All the screams and struggles disappeared at this moment.

"it's all my fault."

Li Luo hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "You can hit me or scold me, I just want to ask you for one thing, okay?"

"..." Ying Chanxi's head twisted in his arms. Seeing that he was hesitant to say the next sentence, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"That's it." Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, "Don't ignore me, okay?"
