Chapter 23 Human nature (2)
Xia Xiao took two steps back, started to pick up things on the sofa, and finally cleared a clean place. Seeing that she was about to sit down, Fang Sheng reminded her: "It's against the rules for you to come to my place, let's go."

She looked at him and smiled, not surprised, Fang Sheng has always been like this, business affairs, she came here tonight on a whim, but because of his words, she became angry.

Everything has no source, ever since Xia Xiao stayed by Ye Jingxuan's side, she didn't really talk to Fang Sheng much, the only contact was that he picked her up and sent her off.

But she remembered that in that luxurious corridor, Fang Sheng pulled her up, took off his coat and put it on her. At that time, the lights were too dazzling, but his gaze...was different from usual.

Xia Xiao has endured hardships and knows that everything she is doing now is not easy. She knows that this kind of exploration is too dangerous, but she still can't help but want an answer.

She was used to Fang Sheng's silence and expressionless face, so she was even more concerned about his only exception.

Xia Xiao suddenly became deliberate, sat on his sofa, picked up a magazine from the ground, and planned to wait like this.

Fang Sheng stood there for a long time without moving, maybe he was holding back, maybe he was thinking about whether someone should throw her out.

But in the end Fang Sheng didn't say anything. Instead, Xia Xiao looked at him and asked first, "What are you afraid of? The third brother isn't here, and the study is too dark. I'm just sitting here with you."

His words were still very simple: "In the middle of the night, do you have to stay in a man's room?"

Xia Xiao threw away the magazine, looked at him and said, "You can have someone throw me out now, at worst, I'll walk home by myself."

Fang Sheng didn't move after all.

She knew that she had found the answer, but she felt uncomfortable and said, "Fang Cheng, I look down on you."

He ignored her, as if he didn't hear and didn't want to hear at all, he turned and went back to the room to sleep, and came out again within 10 minutes after entering.

Xia Xiao was sitting on his messy sofa. She was tired after waiting all night, and gradually leaned on the armrest to rest for a while.Fang Sheng stood at the junction of the living room and the bedroom, which happened to be a gray area where the lights couldn't reach.

Xia Xiao seemed to look back, but she didn't see Fang Sheng. She couldn't see his expression or his eyes from her angle, so Fang Sheng didn't speak, and stood quietly for a long time.

His back was hurt and he couldn't lie down, but it felt better when he got up, so he just stood there without moving.

In the end, Xia Xiao seemed to be so tired that she fell asleep, but she felt someone approaching beside her, and she subconsciously reached out her hand while she was half asleep, but she didn't touch anything.

She thought that this is not true anyway, people only have the right to talk nonsense when they are dreaming, and she can't waste it.

"Fang Cheng, you are not a man, you dare not like others, you dare not admit that you have feelings."

"You deserve it, no one cares if you're injured or dead..." Xia Xiao felt the same as she said, she pressed her face on the sofa and added, "You and I deserve it, we both want not to belong One's own things, sooner or later...will not end well."

Just, what's wrong with them?She wanted Ye Jingxuan, she used to think that what she loved was his life of charity, but now she can't get out, and Fang Sheng will always be Ye Jingxuan's shadow, he is only qualified to stand behind him, this is the only reason for Fang Sheng to live.

They are greedy for life and afraid of death, and love vanity.

But this is human nature.

I don't know how long it has passed, but at dawn, there was a sudden sound of closing the door, followed by Moore's cry in the yard, and Xia Xiao woke up suddenly.

She turned over and sat up, and found that Fang Sheng's clothes were covering her body.

Xia Xiao immediately got up and chased him out. In the yard, he saw Fang Sheng had gone a long way. He was walking very fast. Xia Xiao called him, but he didn't look back.

Moore rushed out from a distance, no one could hold her back, and ran towards the door, when a servant came to remind her: "The lobby master's car has already driven into Lanfang."

Knowing that Ye Jingxuan was back, Xia Xiao stopped making trouble and followed them obediently. Along the way, she saw that the peach blossoms in the courtyard had all fallen, leaving only a few scattered leaves on the branches.

There is still a fragrance of flowers in the wind, and I don't know where it came from. There are thousands of ways to live on this street. Fang Sheng can only put one piece of clothing on her forever, and she can only lie on the side of the cliff forever.

Xia Xiao tidied herself up, her behavior was really cute and charming, she loved Ye Jingxuan, and she had to love him, because she couldn't be beaten back to her original shape and continue to be poor, she didn't want to betray herself to live.

She knew what Fang Sheng meant, even if she was just a fake that could be smashed at any time, she was still his third brother's woman.

A few cars were parked at the door, and Fang Sheng went over to greet him. He was always more thoughtful than others, and he took the lead in saying, "I have someone prepare a wheelchair."

Ye Jingxuan said "hmm", and went to the other side to hug Ruan Wei. Her left leg was almost immobile. He half hugged and half supported her, and finally let her get out of the car, and asked Fang Sheng to push the wheelchair over.

Ruan Wei shook her head as soon as she saw it: "I won't sit."

Ye Jingxuan knew that she was very strong in this matter, and usually he would not insist, but now that Ruan Wei's old and new injuries are together, and her complexion is not good, he is really worried, and persuades her: "The yard is too big, there is still a while to go." Go into the house. Be obedient, sit down, and I will push you."

She refused, and he didn't say anything anymore, he reached out to hug her and sit on it.Ruan Wei was in a hurry, jumped to the side, and hopped forward on one leg: "I'm not disabled, I don't use a wheelchair."

Fang Sheng wanted to persuade her, and explained: "Sister Wei, that's not what it means. There are still several thresholds inside, it's not easy to walk, it's just a transition."

Ruan Wei refused to give in on this matter: "I can go."

Ye Jingxuan shook his head as a signal to forget it, and went to take her hand to support him: "Then follow me, slow down."

She moved forward bit by bit, gritted her teeth and walked slowly.Lanfang is a traditional building left over from the past. The Xiaoqiang porch is quite satisfactory, with three entrances and three exits.When she came here before, she didn't feel the distance was too far, but now that she was injured, she realized that it was not easy to walk in.

Ye Jingxuan knew from the strength with which she grasped her that her leg hurts, obviously Ruan Wei had listened to him since she was a child, but even he couldn't persuade him on this matter.Ye Jingxuan had no choice but to see her trembling halfway through the walk, and finally couldn't help it, and went over to hug her up.

In the clear sky, Ruan Wei naturally didn't want to do this, she struggled and refused, and said she could walk.

The two of them just stopped in front of the steps, and Ye Jingxuan couldn't explain it to her, so he hugged her angrily, and slapped her on the back to threaten: "You're still in a cold sweat? If you make trouble again, I'll just let go, so you don't bother me!" He said After that, he frowned and still coughed.

Ruan Wei knew that he was ill, so she dared not move immediately, and wrapped her arms around his neck, but her heart was not at ease.

She thought that Ye Jingxuan only slept for a short while last night and guarded her all night. Although she was thin, she was still a big living person. It was too hard for him to hold her like this.So the two took two steps, and Ruan Wei pressed against his neck to persuade him: "I'm in a wheelchair, you can push me, it's too tiring."

He smiled, turned his head to look over, just happened to rub against her face, Ruan Wei was obviously sad when she pressed against his face, her tone softened, she whispered: "As long as you don't have anything else."

Ye Jingxuan gently put her on the ground, ready to carry her inside.

The servants on both sides were startled, Fang Sheng immediately bowed his head and came over to stop him: "Third brother, this won't work, let me do it."

Ruan Wei didn't dare, seeing him about to speak again, Ye Jingxuan got annoyed, stretched out his hand and said to her, "Hurry up!"

She didn't want to make him angry, so she walked towards the bedroom with his back on her back. Everyone in the whole yard lowered their heads, and no one dared to make a sound.

In the past in the Ye family, the old man used to be fond of his son. He said clearly that there was only one boy in the family, and he was not allowed to talk to the third brother about any etiquette. He wished he could pay homage to his elders just like his ancestors. .But Ye Jingxuan is not even allowed to lower his head, let alone now that he is asked to carry someone, this matter is about to happen, and the whole family will be punished together.

Moore just rushed out from the yard, shouting all the way, excitedly rubbing against Ye Jingxuan's leg, and followed them forward.

Ruan Wei reached out and hugged his neck tightly, and pressed against his back quietly, and suddenly called out: "Third brother."

Ye Jingxuan knew what she was thinking, and said softly to her: "Ah Ruan, I won't allow you to be wronged, not at all, if you don't want to use a wheelchair, don't sit in it, no one can force you."

She hugged her even tighter, but it happened that he was talking about bitterness.

Ye Jingxuan smiled helplessly, and looked down at her wrist. Ruan Wei hadn't worn rubber bands these days, and the scars were almost healed. He said, "Don't hurt yourself anymore, only these are the things no one can do." Suffer for you, even I can't hurt for you, Ruan... I'm not that great, all I can do is not let you be wronged."

Such a fine weather, just like Nan Province, she only had him in front of her eyes, and they kept walking forward, in a trance like returning to the old days.

Ruan Wei turned her head to look at Shilu, only the green of the treetops remained in the courtyard, and for a moment, more than ten years passed like this.

She thought she was satisfied, at least for this journey, even their shadows were together.

Unfortunately, no matter how long the road is, it has an end.

Ruan Wei saw someone waiting in the distance of the corridor, she only saw the outline of a long hair, probably knew it was Xia Xiao, so she didn't speak any more.

There are so many right and wrong, but Ruan Wei couldn't bear to speak for this moment of tenderness.

Xia Xiao hurriedly chased after her. She waited for a day and a night, but finally waited until Ye Jingxuan came back with someone on his back.She stopped at the moment in surprise, just blocking the way, he didn't look at her at all, someone in front had already asked her to get out of the way.

She never thought that one day Ye Jingxuan would be able to lower his head and carry a woman willingly.

Not to mention his temper... What's more, he is now in Jinglanhui, no one except the president dares to say "no" to him, but he just walked over step by step with Ruan Wei on his back.

Xia Xiao looked at them, forgetting what she wanted to say to Ye Jingxuan.

She stood in the corridor watching, and all the servants followed Ye Jingxuan. She saw him take Ruan Wei back to the bedroom. He didn't go back all day and night. After a long time, fingerprint protection was activated on the door lock. Let Ruan Wei go for the fingerprints.

The woman was ordinary, so pale that she couldn't even see the light. She obviously hesitated, so he coaxed her. Finally, Ruan Wei stretched out her hand suspiciously, and the door really opened.

The only hope left in Xia Xiao's heart was completely shattered. From the day she followed Ye Jingxuan, she knew the rules in this yard. Ye Jingxuan's bedroom was a big house facing north and no one else was allowed to enter. Fang Sheng and him had a past. The brother who is destined for life, and often has confidential matters to deal with, so he is the only one who can go in and out. The rest of the members want to see the hall master, even if the president is here, they can only invite them to the east.

Not only Xia Xiao was surprised, even Ruan Wei asked him strangely: "Why are there my fingerprints here?"

"You have been here before, and there are scan records." Ye Jingxuan put her down and helped her in, "My room is the safest, so it is convenient for you to come in and out."

Xia Xiao was still standing at the corner of the corridor, she hadn't paid attention to it before, but this time they were right in front of her, Xia Xiao looked all the way over and understood everything.

It turned out that her voice was very similar to Ruan Wei's.

Xia Xiao suddenly remembered an old saying, always saying to cherish the person in front of him, but she was in front of his eyes, but not in his heart.

Xia Xiao saw them entering the room, and Moore happily followed.Ruan Wei walked slowly, Moore was anxious, Ye Jingxuan turned around and patted it on the head, warning it to be more honest, Ruan Wei smiled, bent down to hug Moore, and scratched its chin comfortingly, Moore really started to pretend to be cute.

"You just get used to it. It's lawless. It was only turned off for a few hours last time. It gnawed the whole room into a mess."

Xia Xiao was still watching from the sidelines. When Ruan Wei was around, Ye Jingxuan gave in even when he was angry.

When they are together, the chill and indifferent courtyard of Lanfang can feel like a home.

Xia Xiao backed away slowly. She always felt that Ye Jingxuan's occasional kindness to her was not as good as his casual words.His emotions were too difficult to guess, the more deliberately he made Xia Xiao feel uneasy, but she realized today that it's not that he can't be gentle, but that he can't give her alms.

It turns out that if you love someone, you will unconsciously be cautious about her.

He would never be willing to throw Ruan Wei on the street, he would not be willing to let her kneel in the corner, he would not be willing to leave her alone in the room and wait overnight.

As usual, Fang Sheng came over to send Xia Xiao out, but she didn't hesitate or force her to stay, and finally turned around to take a look.

There are only two kinds of people, relying on fate or relying on oneself.

Ever since Xia Xiao got on that dirty cruise ship back then, she knew very well that she could only do the latter in this life.

Fang Sheng seemed to see that her expression was wrong, and said, "Third brother ordered, unless someone picks you up, don't come to Lanfang without authorization in the future."

"As soon as Ruan Wei comes back, of course he doesn't want me to show up." Xia Xiao walked outside the yard, took a long breath, showed no expression, just leaned against the wall and waited for the car to come, she looked into the distance and said, "Actually, yesterday was It's my birthday, so I want to come to him."

Fang Sheng didn't speak. After a while, the car had already arrived, and he suddenly threw out three words: "Wait a minute."

Xia Xiao didn't pay attention, got into the car by herself, and waited for 5 minutes before seeing Fang Sheng coming out with a small box of things in his hand.

Xia Xiao looked at him strangely, Fang Sheng sat in the passenger seat normally, turned around and handed over the box.

The contents inside are simple, just a piece of ordinary sponge cake, not even cream color.

After Fang Sheng gave it to her, he remained silent, sat back upright, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Everyone in Lanfang knew how to measure, the driver drove conscientiously, and Fang Sheng's actions didn't care at all.

It was eerily quiet in the car.

Xia Xiao hugged the palm-sized box and was speechless for a long time. She sat quietly by the car window for a while, and asked him sentence by sentence: "Fang Sheng, you like to eat sponge cake, don't you? I remember your room There are a lot of empty boxes like this in there."

"What else do you like?"

"Fang Sheng?"

He didn't seem to hear what she said.

When getting off the car, Xia Xiao said to him, "This is the first time I have received a birthday cake."

Fang Sheng nodded politely and politely, and finally replied to her: "I didn't mean it, but Third Brother asked me to bring it to you."

It turns out that lying is a human instinct, and even people like Fang Sheng can't learn it by themselves.

So in the end Xia Xiao smiled, and said softly and considerately: "Then thank him for me."
