Chapter 273 Rejection
Pingyang City is a small place, Mao Yuning must not be able to go to the restaurant where Mao Yuning once ate, and it is impossible for her to eat with her mask on. If she is recognized while eating, she will run away with Xi Yan.

In the end, Xi Yan got out of the car to buy food, packed it and took it home to eat.

Zhan Yuxi had just reminded her that there were a few offshoot relatives who came to visit.

Mao Yuning had no choice but to take Xi Yan to the martial arts hall.

The Mao family's martial arts gym is Xiashanhu's Chinese-style courtyard, a typical old-fashioned courtyard in Pingyang, and the two wooden doors with red knees are fastened with a lock.

Mao Yuning brought a keychain with him when he went out today, and there was a key to the gate of the martial arts school on the keychain.

Mao Yuning took out the key to unlock it and pushed open the wooden door.

She turned on the lights in the room before letting Xi Yan in, and after closing the door, she led him to the backyard, while briefly introducing the layout of the entire martial arts hall to him.

The entire martial arts hall is very large and empty. There are rows of wooden sticks standing against the wall, and you can still see the wooden stakes for practicing kung fu when passing by the front yard.

Xi Yan followed Mao Yuning to the backyard, and a square sky appeared in front of him.

There are bamboo chairs everywhere in the courtyard, and there is a small table in the middle with a set of simple tea sets on it. It can be seen that people often sit here drinking tea and chatting.

Mao Yuning asked him to put the lunch box in his hand on a red square table, and she brought two long benches over, one for each person, and each person sat on one side.

The entire backyard is very quiet, and occasionally the chirping of insects can be heard.

Mao Yuning didn't eat much, but he put down his chopsticks after a few bites.

Xi Yan asked: "Do you want to go again tomorrow?"

Mao Yuning shook his head, today's notes are almost done.

Xi Yan asked again: "Then what do you do next?"

Mao Yuning opened the note and looked at it, then said: "I want to try the feeling of practicing alone at night."

The girl in the character, in the dark night, practiced alone for two full years.

Xi Yan nodded: "Okay, tomorrow night, I will accompany you."

"...Brother Xi, you are practicing alone." Mao Yuning reminded emphatically.

Xi Yan: "I won't practice with you."

Mao Yuning: "..."

Xi Yan spent a day with her in Panlong Pavilion today, without a trace of impatience, Mao Yuning thought of another matter, and did not refuse again.

After dinner, Mao Yuning pulled two bamboo chairs and placed them in the middle of the courtyard.

"Come on, try the feeling of bathing in the moonlight." Mao Yuning patted the chair and motioned Xi Yan to sit down.

After Xi Yan sat down, he subconsciously leaned back, looked at the sky at the four corners of his head, bathed in the moonlight, bathed in the heaven and earth, and closed his eyes in a relaxed manner.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Mao Yuning who was lying on another chair.

Mao Yuning lay on the bamboo chair, took off his shoes, curled his legs, and closed his eyes.

She didn't even notice it herself, and she was almost defenseless in front of him.

In order to conform to the persona, Mao Yuning eats less and less every day to lose weight, and goes to the martial arts gym every night to practice for several hours.

Xi Yan said to accompany her, but he really just accompanied her, and never disturbed her.

She turned off the lights to practice, and he sat in the courtyard, silent all the time.

Mao Yuning was so tired that he collapsed, and he had no intention of going forward, until the end, he would come to her side and send her home.

This kind of silent guardianship reminded her of the part in the character, the 16-year-old boy who still makes the girl obsessed even in middle age.

She used to envy girls who were luckier than her and met the person who warmed her life.

Does she even meet now?

Could it be that after he left, she would be like a girl, bewildered and cherished for a lifetime?
Maybe many years later, I will feel sorry for being alone.

It's just that now, she can't give him the affection he wants, so she shouldn't hang on to him selfishly.

"Xi Yan..." Mao Yuning looked at the figure in front of him and suddenly called out his name.

This was the first time she called his name back, and it used to be Big Brother Xi.

Xi Yan was still holding her thermos in his hand. Hearing the sound, he paused in his footsteps and looked back at her.

"If today, I told you that answer was not what you wanted, what would you...how?" Mao Yuning asked.

Her expression was very calm, her eyes were as clear as the ice moon above her head.

Seeing that he was silent, Mao Yuning couldn't help asking again: "Will you turn around and leave?"

Xi Yan: "If you don't like me, you will let me go."

Not whether he will leave.

Mao Yuning: "Then I tell you to give up and leave? Will you do that?"

Xi Yan nodded: "Yes."

Mao Yuning's mood is very complicated. At her age, her career is on the rise, and she can't take care of her relationship at all.

Xi Yan expressed his heart to her, and he definitely hopes that the relationship will be settled in his heart.

Since she couldn't give him an emotional response, how could she hold him back and enjoy his dedication and company with peace of mind.

It's so unfair to him.

Mao Yuning: "I... don't want to fall in love yet. I know you are fine, but love is mutual, and we go together. I can't be so selfish."

Mao Yuning knows that there is no purpose in his devotion and company. He may like a person and accompany her to do anything. He is willing and happy.

But how long?

The person who always compromises and gives will suffer more than anyone else if his emotional needs are not met.

Xi Yan is such an excellent person, his pride should not be planted on her.

Mao Yuning said these words, not on a whim.

That night, when Xi Yan expressed her heart, the question she was thinking about was not whether to give him a chance to fall in love, which is what many real men and women would do.

The question she has been thinking about is how to refuse, so as not to hurt his face, but also make him give up resolutely, turn around and leave.

As for whether they will still be friends in the future, she will never mention it.

If you reject him, don't give him hope.

In this world, people come and go, and their feelings are divided and combined. Xi Yan just has a good impression of her. It hasn't been long, and he has not fallen deeply. In the future, he will meet someone more suitable than her.

This is the best result.

Mao Yuning looked at him resolutely, seriously, and calmly, hoping that he could bring this matter to an end.

Xi Yan finally nodded and responded: "Okay."

Like every night in the past, he sent her to the door of the house, handed her the thermos in his hand, and watched her enter the door before leaving.

Mao Yuning fastened the iron gate of the gate tower, and leaned against the iron gate in a daze.

She thought of the dream, she rejected those blind date men, they turned their faces ruthlessly, wishing to tear her face apart.

She knew that Xi Yan was not this kind of person, but she never thought that he didn't bother him a word, he was so calm, it seemed that she had expected that she would do this.

He has always been very clear in his heart that she was not tempted, but she still did so many things according to her heart.
