Chapter 34 Jiang Cheng's Secret

Xuan Li woke up rubbing her eyes, feeling a little sore in her neck, and sat up while pressing her shoulders.

She yawned and heard a lazy voice beside her: "Are you awake?"

Xuan Li woke up suddenly, looked to the left, and later realized that she had fallen asleep leaning against Jiang Cheng.

He propped his face with one hand and leaned against the window with his head tilted, his brows and eyes were tired, and the light on the phone screen was still on.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a densely packed document.

"How long have I slept?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was still hoarse after waking up, like a tangerine rolled in sugar, sweet but not greasy.

Jiang Cheng turned off the phone and pressed the back of his neck, "One hour."

He got out of the car, hooked his hand at her, "get out of the car."

Xuan Li moved over and paused when she touched the seat where he had been sitting.

Jiang Cheng blocked the door frame with his left hand to prevent her from bumping into it, and led her out of the car with his right hand.

When she got out of the car, she realized that the surroundings were not the streets near the courtyard house, but a playground.

As the night fell, the playground was brightly lit, and there were still screams coming from the big pendulum closest to the door.

Xuan Li stared blankly at the entrance where people were coming and going, the flickering lights made her eyes a little sore.

"How do you know..."

Jiang Cheng lazily hooked his lips, "Last week, I saw that you liked the video account related to the amusement park, and it happened that there was a new amusement park in Kyoto. Although it is not as luxurious as the one you saw, after the college entrance examination, I will take you and Ran Ran Tingxuan let's play."

She has always kept her preferences very deep, even Huo Lishen and his wife thought that girls like pink, and so did she.

Xuan Li never said what she liked, but Jiang Cheng always easily saw through her thoughts.

Knowing that she doesn't actually like pink, doesn't like being restrained, and doesn't like obeying.

The grievances that had been on her heart for many years collapsed at this moment, and tears gushed out of her eyes as if the gate had been opened.

Jiang Cheng laughed, "You didn't cry before, why did you cry when I brought you to the amusement park?"

He fumbled in his pocket and found that there was no paper except cigarettes and a lighter.He had no choice but to sigh softly and wipe her tears with his fingertips.

Unexpectedly, she cried even more violently, and Jiang Cheng's palm was wet.

"The only one who saw through me before was my brother..."

Jiang Cheng knew she was talking about Xuan Zhu, he was always smiling in his memory, he was the little sun in the courtyard.

The rebellious Xuan Ran, the seemingly well-behaved but cautious Yu Tingxuan, even the oldest Xu Langxing, like him very much.

But it died in the fire eight years ago.

And that fire started from him.

Jiang Cheng never told anyone about this secret.

Xuanzhu was clearly able to walk at the time, but in order to save him who was trapped in the room and panicked, he forcibly broke into the flames, and finally failed to come out from the last door because of lack of energy.

Jiang Cheng watched helplessly as the door was crushed by the falling beam, separating the two of them. It was also a door that separated life and death.

That big boy with a bright smile was forever buried in the sea of ​​fire.

"what happened?"

The soft voice pulled him back from his thoughts, and when he raised his eyes, he looked into Xuan Li's clear eyes.

Eyes somewhat similar to those of Xuan Zhu, starlight shines in them when he smiles.

Jiang Cheng's mind flickered, and a voice in his heart shouted frantically: You killed him!Even being nice to his sister can't make it up!
Xuan Li watched as his complexion turned pale little by little, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"Jiang Cheng..."

She took his hand and called him worriedly.

The warmth of his palm gradually warmed his cold heart, and he leaned over slumped, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

"Sorry, Xuan Xiaoli."

Xuan Li froze in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly apologized.

But just now his regretful and distressed eyes burned her eyes like iron, as if he was looking at another person through her.

She thought of Xuanzhu, her biological brother who was always vivid in her memory.

Xuan Li lowered her eyes, and patted him reassuringly, "Didn't you come to play, why are you getting sad?"

Jiang Cheng stood up straight, remembering how she acted like a little adult just now, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.

He chuckled hoarsely, "Okay, it's rare to satisfy Xuan Xiaoli's wish today, so I won't spoil your interest. Brother pays the bill today, so you can play around."

She looked at him quietly for a while, and then said: "You are obviously also a person who likes to disguise yourself?"

Jiang Cheng paused, his throat suddenly felt itchy, and subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette in his pocket, but found that his right hand was clasped by the little girl's slender fingers.

Only then did Xuanli realize that she was still holding his hand, and pulled it back in a panic.

The itching in his throat got worse, and his heart felt a little irritated.

She apologized with red ears, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Cheng took out his cigarette and lighter, and took two steps to the side.

"Can you wait for me?"

Xuan Li knew that he would smoke when he was bored, but right now she couldn't solve his problems, so she could only respond in a low voice: "Okay."

He knew she didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he stood far away on purpose.

She sat down on a nearby bench, took out the vocabulary book she carried with her, and memorized the words.

After reviewing ten words, the crisp sound of stepping on fallen leaves sounded behind her.

"It seems that we, Xuan Xiaoli, study hard, and it shouldn't be a problem to be the first in the grade this time."

Xuan Li closed the vocabulary book, raised her head and looked at him in surprise, "Why are you so fast?"

Jiang Cheng smiled viciously, "Xuan Xiaoli, you can't describe a man as fast."

She looked at him blankly, frowning her brows as if thinking about what was wrong with this adjective.

But for a long time she didn't think of a reason.

"sorry."

The head was knocked punitively, "Why do you love to apologize so much? Xuan Xiaoli, it's not your fault, don't compromise with an apology."

Xuan Li thought he was angry, and subconsciously wanted to apologize again, but just as the word "yes" was said, his index finger pressed against his lips.

"do not talk."

The soft touch caused his hand to withdraw as if being electrocuted, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously.

Seeing her clean eyes looking at him puzzledly, Jiang Cheng's eyes were dark and dark, he turned her head and coughed lightly: "Let's go."

At the ticket window, Jiang Cheng asked for two adult tickets.

The staff looked at Xuanli suspiciously, "She can buy children's tickets, and we have a [-]% discount."

Jiang Cheng looked at her sideways with a smile on his face as if he had heard some joke, "Little friend, what do you think?"

Xuan Li retorted in embarrassment: "I'm not a child, I'm an adult."

She said and took out the vocabulary book in her pocket, "This is the vocabulary I need to memorize in the college entrance examination."

The staff nodded dubiously, "Okay, then you can go in. But I want to remind you that you cannot play some items if you are not tall enough."

Xuan Li took back the steps she had just taken two steps away, as if wanting to prove to the staff, she deliberately stood at the height mark and gestured.

"I'm over this 1.5m line!"

The staff looked at the height difference between the two, "I'm sorry, it's because this gentleman is taller that I misunderstood." She looked at Xuan Li's thin figure, "It doesn't matter if you don't meet the weight requirements."
