Reborn since 2005

Chapter 362 It's over before it starts

Xiao Shiyu went to a famous market in Yangcheng. When he got there, he visited many stores to experience the lifestyle of this super first-tier city, the flow of people here, and what kind of shopping everyone likes.

Others come to shop for shopping, and she comes to shop to observe the business model here and do a market survey.

She carries a mobile phone that can take pictures, and a small notebook, and takes notes from time to time to write down what she observes.

Of course, sometimes I will buy a little when I see something I like.

Unknowingly, I bought things worth more than 100 yuan, all of which were gadgets worth a few dollars.

By the time she returned to Yan Xin's house in Baijingyuan, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

She originally wanted to have a meal outside so as not to disturb the couple, but Yan Xin called her and asked her to come back for dinner, and told her that Ai Lili had specially prepared a few dishes for her to try. Try the home-cooked food here.

There is no way but to come back.

When I got home, there was another dish being cooked, and Ai Lili was busy in the kitchen.

Madoka was helping her.

And Chen Li also came over, chatting with Yan Xin in the living room.

After Xiao Shiyu put her things away, she went to help them in the kitchen, but Ai Lili pushed her out, and said to her with a smile:
"You worked hard outside, take a good rest when you come back, we'll be fine in a while."

Xiao Shiyu could only go to the living room to chat with Yan Xin and Chen Li.

She still has social skills, and with her present, there will be no awkward chats.

After a while, the food was ready, and then they put it on the table to eat together.

This time, no one suggested drinking, it was all drinks.

The last time I ate at his house and drank some red wine, then Liang Wei used the wine to force a marriage, quarreled with Chen Li, and finally ended up breaking up.

Although this ending is doomed, alcohol does have a big triggering effect.

With such a lesson, Ai Lili didn't dare to ask about drinking anymore.

During the meal, Xiao Shiyu mentioned that he wanted to experience the prosperity of Yangcheng at night, and Ai Lili said on the spot that he would go with her and take her to the big shopping malls here.

Xiao Shiyu didn't want to bother her, and said that it was fine to be alone.

But Ai Lili resolutely objected: "That can't be done, it's too unsafe for you to go out as a girl at night, not to mention you are so beautiful."

Yan Xin also said next to him: "Although our country's security is very good, but you are so beautiful, it's too dangerous to go out alone. You have to be with us, otherwise I don't feel at ease. If you come to play with me, if something happens How can I explain things to your family?"

Both Chen Li and Madoka were echoing.

It is now 2007, surveillance is not so popular in various places, and some large-scale work to crack down on gangsters and violence has not been launched, and the law and order cannot be said to be very good—at least it cannot be compared with ten years later.

It's really not that safe for a young and beautiful girl like Xiao Shiyu to go out alone at night.

It's not necessarily an accident, but there is still a little possibility of an accident.

Under their persuasion, Xiao Shiyu could only accept to go shopping with them.

After eating, Madoka had a performance and left first.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Li also didn't want to have too much contact with Xiao Shiyu, so he went back to his home with the excuse that he needed to code when he went home.

Yan Xin and Ai Lili went shopping with Xiao Shiyu.

Originally, Ai Lili proposed to go out by car, but Xiao Shiyu said that she wanted to take a walk and slowly feel the bustling here.

It happened that she and Yan Xin both had the habit of taking a walk after dinner, so they didn't insist on their own intentions, and walked all the way after listening to Xiao Shiyu.

When going out, Ai Lili and Xiao Shiyu walked in front holding hands, like a pair of sisters.

And Yan Xin followed a step or two away, like a follower, or a bodyguard.

Xiao Shiyu also chatted more with Ai Lili, and less with Yan Xin, and the scale was very cautious, that is, normal chats between classmates and friends, there are still some restraints.

These are the things that Yan Xin wanted to remind Xiao Shiyu, but he didn't know how to say it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiyu didn't need him to remind him, that's what he did.

Apart from reassuring him, there is also a little bit of regret:
"My relationship with her seems to be alienated all of a sudden."

Xiao Shiyu is so beautiful and has such a little affection for him, it would be a lie to say that he has no idea at all.

However, there are only a few ideas.

If it would affect his relationship with Ai Lili, he would still give up.

There are always some scenery that can only be missed.

There are always some years destined to be wasted.

It is impossible for a person to grasp all the good things in life, and some regrets are inevitable.

This is impossible.

Xiao Shiyu deliberately kept a distance from him in front of Ai Lili. He also had to work hard in this direction, and also kept a certain distance from Xiao Shiyu. He was much more cautious than when the two of them were alone together, and even the whole process No eye contact at all.

In Ai Lili's eyes, these two are just ordinary friends and ordinary classmates.

It made her feel that Xiao Shiyu came to look for Yan Xin this time simply because Yan Xin was the only classmate in this city, or only Yan Xin had the ability to receive her.

This time when they went shopping, they went shopping until after eleven o'clock, and had a barbecue outside before going back.

But when I went back, I took a taxi to go back—I walked so far without knowing it. If I walked back like the beginning, I’m afraid it would be past one o’clock in the morning.

When I get home, of course I take a shower and sleep.

When Yan Xin went to take a shower, Xiao Shiyu also apologized to Ai Lili:
"You have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm really sorry to ask you to stay with me so late."

Ai Lili said with a smile: "It's okay, we are all friends, we should accompany you when you come. I will go to your place in the future, and you should play with me too."

Xiao Shiyu said with a smile: "Of course it's okay, but our county is basically deserted after ten o'clock in the evening, and there is nowhere to go if you want to play."

Then asked Ai Lili: "Sister Lili, you are with Yan Xin, have you been to his house?"

Ai Lili shook her head and said, "I haven't been there."

As he spoke, a regretful expression appeared on his face.

Said: "Actually, there were a few times when I really wanted to go there with Yan Xin, but sometimes the company had something to do and I couldn't leave. During the Chinese New Year, I had to go home to accompany my mother. I have never been able to find such an opportunity."

Xiao Shiyu said: "There will definitely be such an opportunity in the future."

Ai Lili also smiled and said: "I also believe that there will be such an opportunity in the future. Maybe during the Chinese New Year this year, I will accompany Yan Xin back to his hometown, and then we will go to play with you."

"No problem." Xiao Shiyu said.

Then he asked curiously: "Don't you need to go home to accompany your mother during Chinese New Year this year?"

Ai Lili couldn't help frowning: "Yes. My mother is the only family member of my family. If I don't go back to accompany her during the New Year, she will be very sad. But Yan Xin's father only has him as a family member. If he doesn't It's not good to go home...so troublesome..."

This was the one question that bothered her the most.

In fact, she really wanted to go to Yan Xin's hometown, to see what the environment he grew up in when he was a child, and to visit his father, so that she could be regarded as having met his parents, which would make her feel more at ease.

But there has never been such an opportunity, and it has always been delayed by such and such things.

There is a very important reason for this, that is, Yan Xin doesn't want her to go there, and doesn't want Feng Xi to know about her relationship, so he has been secretly looking for reasons to persuade her not to go there.

It didn't take long for Yan Xin to take a shower, she came out after a few minutes and had already changed into pajamas.

Then Ai Lili went to take a shower, and Yan Xin stayed with Xiao Shiyu in the living room.

——Originally, Ai Lili wanted Xiao Shiyu to take a bath first. After all, she is a guest, so she should respect the guest and let the guest come first.

But Xiao Shiyu said that the two of them have to go to work tomorrow, and they should take a bath first so that they can rest earlier.

I have nothing important to do anyway, so I can wait a little longer.

So she was the last to go to the shower.

There are still guests here, and it is not good for Yan Xin to go to the bedroom to sleep immediately after taking a shower, so he can only accompany her in the living room.

The two of them spoke some unnutritious words one after another, they were extremely polite, and there was basically no eye contact.

When Ai Lili went to the bathroom with her pajamas in her arms and heard the door close, Xiao Shiyu's eyes fell on Yan Xin's face.

At this time, Yan Xin's eyes also fell on her face.

The two looked at each other, and Yan Xin saw a trace of resentment in Xiao Shiyu's eyes.

He didn't know if it was his hallucination.

Xiao Shiyu smiled, and said in a low voice, "Your girlfriend is fine."

Yan Xin glanced in the direction of the bathroom, but he couldn't see anything through a wall, it was just a subconscious reaction.

Then he also smiled, nodded and said, "It's pretty good."

Xiao Shiyu couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said, "I've known you for such a long time, but I've never heard of you having a girlfriend. If I hadn't come to Yangcheng this time, would you have kept it a secret from me? ?”

Yan Xin was very embarrassed, and blushed and said: "I think...mainly I think...it's not necessary to publicize this matter. It's not very necessary to make it like a show of affection and let everyone know. Well...well, that's what I thought..."

"Okay, I understand what you're thinking. It's not necessary to disclose private emotional matters to the public. It's enough to let a few close friends know, such as Xiaoyuan and Chen Li." Xiao Shiyu said.

Sounds very understanding.

It's just that when Yan Xin thought about it, he felt even more embarrassed.

Xiao Shiyu sighed softly, and said, "It's just that I thought you and I should be regarded as close friends, and you should share such things with me..."

Yan Xin quickly said: "Of course we are—"

The words suddenly stopped there.

Xiao Shiyu looked at him: "Of course what is it?"

"Uh, of course we are good friends," Yan Xin said awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't announce Chen Li and the others. The main reason is that they all live in the same community. I can't hide this. In fact, I personally don't like to publicize these things .”

Xiao Shiyu looked at him for a while before saying: "Okay, I accept your explanation."

At this moment, Yan Xin felt that his sweat was about to break out.

Obviously the air conditioner was on.

Xiao Shiyu asked again: "When did you start?"

Yan Xin recalled for a moment: "It's been almost a year."

Added another sentence: "We met the year before last, but the official relationship was last year, and it hasn't been a year yet."

Xiao Shiyu mentally calculated the time when she went to Yan Xin's house, which was a year and a half ago.

In other words, Yan Xin and Ai Lili were not boyfriend and girlfriend at that time.

There are some regrets and some relief.

He asked again, "How did you know each other?"

"I work as a security company, and she is the person in charge there." Yan Xin said truthfully.

Xiao Shiyu thought to himself: "Sure enough, he hugged Miss Fu's thigh."

I feel a little bit broken in my heart like an idol collapsed house.

There are some regrets: "Unfortunately, my family doesn't have that much wealth..."

Now I still have a thought: "When I was in high school, if I helped him financially, would our relationship be different? At that time, what I thought was not to hurt his self-esteem?"

He smiled and asked, "When are you going to get married?"

Yan Xin didn't know how to answer for a while.

Because he didn't even think about who he would marry in the future, so naturally he couldn't answer this question.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Shiyu explained: "When you get married, just tell me, and I will follow the ceremony."

Yan Xin said: "The matter of getting married... I can't be in a hurry now. I have to be 22 years old. I haven't reached that age yet, and I can't get married even if I want to."

Xiao Shiyu snorted and said, "Then when are you going to get married, remember to tell me."

"Definitely, definitely." That's all Yan Xin could say.

Then, the two of them didn't know what to say.

There was a sudden silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a while, Yan Xin asked cautiously: "I heard that you have a boyfriend? Have you met each other's parents?"

Xiao Shiyu was silent for a while, and then said: "I told your girlfriend that..."

"Why haven't I heard you talk about this?" Yan Xin asked.

Xiao Shiyu glanced at him with a faint smile.

Yan Xin couldn't help being very embarrassed when he thought that he had a girlfriend and didn't tell her about it.

——Why do you ask others to do things that you can’t even do yourself?
Then he explained with a blushing face: "I don't blame you for not telling me about this matter, I just want to confirm whether there is such a thing."

Xiao Shiyu bowed his head and remained silent.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I've only met the parent of one friend of the opposite sex...and only one friend of the opposite sex has seen my parent..."

After saying this, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Xin.

There is not a little resentment in the eyes, but a lot of resentment.

Yan Xin stayed there, not knowing what to say for a while.

When he first heard Ai Lili spread the words, he wondered if the boyfriend in Xiao Shiyu's words was referring to him, but he felt that he was a bit self-indulgent.

Hearing Xiao Shiyu say that now, why don't you understand?That's clearly what he was talking about.

Because, she met his father, and he met her father.

If there was only one, it would only be him.

Then thinking about the last time they met in their previous life, they became a little crazy.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, Xiao Shiyu may not have deep affection for him.

But, there must have been.

I thought to myself: "What can I do? How can I match their preferences."

Xiao Shiyu looked at him for a while, and then said: "Don't think too much, I just said this to reassure your girlfriend, lest she misunderstand our relationship."

Yan Xin smiled, nodded and said, "I understand, I won't misunderstand."

Xiao Shiyu glanced at him resentfully again, thinking to himself: "You don't understand, you don't understand at all."

The next chat between the two people was a bit absent-minded.

Within a few minutes, Ai Lili came out of the shower, wearing pajamas, with a towel wrapped around her hair, and said to Xiao Shiyu as soon as she came out, "I'm fine, you can go take a shower now."

The moment the bathroom door opened, Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu had smiles on their faces at the same time, and their voices became a little louder.

When she came to the living room, she saw two people smiling and chatting, but the smiles seemed a little forced.

Ai Lili looked at it, felt a little bit sorry for her man, and thought: "Yan Xin is a man who is not good at chatting with girls. It must be embarrassing for him to be here alone with his classmates, right?"

Said to Yan Xin: "You go back to your room and sleep first, I have to dry my hair here."

Yan Xin was really uncomfortable here, and when he heard this, he stood up from the sofa as if he had been pardoned, greeted Xiao Shiyu, and then went back to his room.

Xiao Shiyu hugged her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Ai Lili plugged in the hair dryer in the living room to dry her hair.

By the time Xiao Shiyu came out of the shower, Ai Lili had already returned to the bedroom.

But the light in the living room was still on for her.

The door of the master bedroom was closed, and the people inside could not be seen, nor could the voices inside be heard.

But Xiao Shiyu knew that in that bedroom, on that bed, lay a loving couple.

One of them was her old classmate, whom she had been thinking about for so long.

Plugging in the hair dryer and drying her hair, while looking at her lonely self in the mirror, Xiao Shiyu suddenly felt a little sad.

I thought to myself:

"Where am I wrong?"

"Am I not pretty enough?"

"Am I not gentle enough?"

"Or am I not good enough?"

"Or, am I not active enough?"

I forgot when the man next to the beautiful woman lying in the bedroom moved my heart because of something.

However, the heartbeat is real, and the heartbeat has been going on for a long time.

At one time, I thought that that heartbeat could disappear with high school graduation and become a memory.

But I didn't expect that later on, I felt more and more the excellence of that man, and that feeling became more and more intense.

But before she could act, the story was over.

In this story, she is not the main character.

The story with her as the protagonist never happened.

——Before it started, it was over.
