Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 123 Yan Rui's Extra Story: Our Friendship Is Above Love (2)
That morning, it was snowing lightly, and the car drove very slowly on the road. After more than half an hour, it drove into the compound of the military area and stopped in front of a three-story villa.My dad and I got out of the car, I didn't open an umbrella, I rushed to the eaves with my head down, waited for my dad to come over, and rang the doorbell.A woman in her 40s came out to answer the door, and she welcomed us in gently.The heating in the room was turned on very high, and most of the cold air on my body was driven away. I took off my coat and followed Dad into the living room. The snow scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows illuminated the room very brightly.An old man in military uniform was sitting on the couch in the middle of the living room, and a young man was sitting on the sofa opposite him, with his back to us.When Dad saw the old man, he stopped respectfully and saluted straightly: "Commander!"

There was a hint of warmth on the stern face of the old man, and he nodded.

Dad put down his saluting hand, pulled me over and said, "Commander, I'll bring my daughter to pay you New Year's greetings."

I bowed politely: "Happy New Year, Grandpa Commander."

The old commander nodded, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to me: "Happy New Year."

I glanced at my father, he didn't object, I walked over to accept the red envelope generously: "Thank you, grandpa."

Turning around, I saw the young man who had been turning his back to us. That glance made me unable to move my eyes away.I always thought that after seeing Qu Weiran when he was young, it would be impossible to be amazed by any teenager, but I never thought that this kid could be so good-looking.

The child seemed to be unaware that a guest was coming, with his head slightly lowered, holding a white mug with one hand, shaking the mug casually, causing the water in the mug to sway around.

"Xia Mu." The old commander called out.The young man raised his head, looking at him indifferently with a pair of gloomy and empty eyes on his pale face.

"I have something to say to your Uncle Yan, you take care of the guests."

He didn't blink, didn't respond at all.The old commander didn't seem to expect him to respond, he stood up straight and waved to his father, and the two walked to the second floor.

There were only him and me in the living room. He lowered his head and continued to shake the water in the glass, occasionally taking a small sip.I looked at him curiously and asked, "Your name is Xia Mu?"

He ignored me.

"How old are you?"

He still ignored me with a blank look.

Well, even a thick-skinned person like me is embarrassed to talk to this boy again.I rubbed my nose and took the tea that the servant's aunt handed over.The aunt said gently: "Don't mind, this child has ignored people since he was a child."

"It's okay." I smiled with a good temper, and didn't want to bother with a child who was not polite.

I was holding a teacup and sat opposite him boredly.He seemed to be in a daze and didn't seem to be there, his eyes were always empty and empty, as if nothing could enter his eyes.

Although it is so quiet, it has a sense of presence that cannot be ignored.

This feeling is really like a person.

I relaxed my body, leaned into the soft sofa, and thought lightly.

After a while, the door opened again, and a hearty greeting came into the living room: "Aunt Zhu, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Yawang." The servant's aunt's voice was full of joy and kindness, she must be an acquaintance!I blinked and looked towards the door, and a girl in a red coat came in. Wenxiu's face, seaweed-like long hair, big and bright eyes, and a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.She looked at me with a smile on her face: "Ah, here is a guest! Hello."

I clenched my hands unconsciously, suppressed my emotions vigorously, and greeted dryly: "Hello."

I looked straight at her, without blinking.She skillfully sat next to Xia Mu, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled flatteringly: "Little Xia Mu, are you still angry with your sister?"

Just when I thought Xia Mu couldn't make a sound, he turned his head awkwardly, his empty eyes seemed to be injected with soul instantly.

"Ah, don't be angry, it's okay if I'm wrong." Shu Yawang fiddled with his soft hair with his fingers, "Xia Mu, Xia Mu, forgive me, I won't make you angry again, okay?"

Xia Mu hesitated for a while, Shu Yawang kept looking at him with pleading and flattery, after a while, he lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Yes."

"Huh? What does huh mean? You forgive me?" Shu Yawang said happily, "Xia Mu, you really need to talk more, your expressive ability is too poor."

Xia Mu lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth lightly.It's just such a small movement, but it makes me feel that my heart has become soft for him.

Shu Yawang is a very talkative person, because of her arrival, the living room is no longer quiet, sometimes when she talks about funny things, she will laugh out loud.I kept looking at her, carefully recalling Xia Tong in my memory, they did look alike, but they were not alike at all.Xia Tong will not bravely look into other people's eyes like Shu Yawang, she is always faintly timid, a little flattering, her eyes are as pitiful but pure as a lost deer; Xia Tong will not open her mouth like Shu Yawang Laughing loudly, she always pursed her lips, lowered her head, and smiled secretly, as if she was afraid that people would snatch her happiness away if they discovered her happiness.

She is the exact opposite of Shu Yawang's flame-like temperament that can ignite everything, and her inferiority complex is as weak as air, which is easy to be ignored.

This girl is not like Xia Tong at all, not at all.

I stood up in disappointment, walked to the window, closed my eyes, and hugged myself gently, my arms were cold...

"Yan Rui, go upstairs and watch a movie." Shu Yawang called me from behind me.

I opened my eyes, turned around and looked at her and said, "No, go and see, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, I stopped staying, walked out of the villa, and walked into the flying white snow. When I walked past the villa, I couldn't help turning my head to look in. The girl named Shu Yawang was holding a bulging red envelope, Laughing and teasing the silent boy.The young man raised his head with a look of disdain, but his eyes were filled with endless joy.

That boy, is he secretly liking her?

I smiled knowingly, walked a few steps forward, couldn't help feeling sad again, obviously had the same face, one was so happy, but the other hadn't even lived...

I bit my lip, raised my head, and looked up to the sky, letting the snowflakes hit my face and float into my eyes, which was cold.I blinked vigorously, opened it again, and suddenly remembered that that winter, that Christmas, she was also like this, standing in the snow, looking up sadly, looking into the distance, and crying secretly.

I took a deep breath, lowered my head, and clutched my heart vigorously, the pain spread all over my body.

I smiled wryly, and tears rolled down the corners of my eyes, Xia Tong, Xia Tong, why do you leave me with sad memories?

Why, I can't remember a single face of yours smiling?
Xia Tong, I miss you very much.

really miss you……

Even this painful feeling can't stop me from missing you so much...

Snow keeps falling, keeps falling...
