i loved you so much

Chapter 20 You are always in my heart (1)
At the end of the month, He Bixi came back from vacation, and An Xiaoduo asked her to resign.He Bixi persuaded her to stay, and seeing that she had already made up her mind, she no longer forced her to do anything difficult.

An Xiaoduo returned to Pearl Villa and saw Aunt Cen busy in the kitchen. She walked over to help, but Aunt Cen said no and pushed her out to watch TV: "Xiao Fei will come over later, I will prepare some of her favorite snacks for you." she."

Tang Yufei?An Xiaoduo was slightly taken aback: "Didn't she go abroad to study?"

"Well, I came back yesterday."

Tang Yufei was Madam Tang's daughter when she was 40 years old. The age difference between her elder brother Tang Junnian and Tang Junnian was more than ten years. The two never played or talked together.Although Tang Junnian dotes on his younger sister, he is not as patient as Li Xiaoan, so she prefers to cling to Li Xiaoan, the second brother.She just came back from Vienna yesterday, and before the jet lag was over, she called and said she would come over today.

An Xiaoduo watched TV for a while and felt that it was boring, so she went upstairs to find her sister to play.

Tang Yufei arrived around noon, and Aunt Cen prepared her favorite caramel milk tea, as well as mango pancakes and cranberry cookies for her.

Tang Yufei took a mango slice with a small silver fork and ate it, with a sweet smile on her face: "Auntie, you are so kind to me, you even remember what I liked to eat when I was young."

Aunt Cen looked at Tang Yufei, who had grown into a big girl, and felt quite emotional. Ever since Tang Yufei was sent to study in Vienna by Mrs. Tang, she could see some changes every time she came back.It hasn't been too long since she came back last time, but Tang Yufei seems to be more beautiful. She is not a thin and skinny beauty, her body and face are a little plump, but her skin can be broken, rosy, With exquisite facial features and quirky personality, no one in the Tang family dislikes her.

"Where's brother? Is he better?" Tang Yufei only knew that Li Xiaoan was in poor health recently, but no one disclosed the specific situation to her.

Aunt Cen naturally felt inconvenient to say more, she just pointed to the second floor: "It's much better, he didn't go out today, he was reading in the garden on the second floor."

"I'll go see him." Tang Yufei took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and ran upstairs.

The open-air garden on the second floor is not big. When she opened the glass door, she saw Li Xiaoan sitting on the sofa reading a book. She became nervous and crept around behind him, covering his eyes with her hands, "Brother, guess who I am?" ?”

Li Xiao'an laughed, and held those soft and boneless hands, "The troublemaker is back."

Tang Yufei liked to play this game with Li Xiaoan since she was a child. Every time she didn't even disguise her voice, she would always call her brother when she opened her mouth. Apart from that cute meowing little sister, she was the only sister of Li Xiaoan.

Tang Yufei smiled and threw herself on him. When she got closer, she saw that Li Xiaoan's expression was not very good. She couldn't help but worry and said, "Brother, I heard that you are sick? What is it?"

"It's just a cold, it's gone."

"But you don't look well."

"I was too tired from work some time ago and didn't have a good rest."

"Then I have to rest enough this time, and make up for it all!"

Li Xiao'an scratched her nose with his fingers: "Our third miss of the Tang family has learned to care about people now, she really has grown up."

Tang Yufei wrinkled her nose and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I'm already 20 years old."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoan remembered something and said, "It will be your birthday in two days, how do you want to spend it?"

"My mother said that she would hold a birthday party for me. I haven't shown my face in public since my mother sent me to Vienna that year. It is said that some relatives who are far away keep asking about me. My mother said to take this opportunity to meet elder."

"Seeing that the elders are trivial, she wants you to pick out the young talents from the elder's family."

"I don't want to pick, I'm not interested in any of those people."

"I haven't seen it yet, so I made a conclusion so early."

"I wouldn't like it anyway, I know that."

"Do you have someone in mind?" Li Xiaoan asked suddenly.

Tang Yufei smiled and said, "No, no."

Li Xiaoan wanted to say something else, but Tang Yufei said again: "By the way, brother, have you got a new girlfriend yet?"

"No."

"Really? I've heard that there was a little model who was chasing after you very closely. What does it look like?"

"Don't listen to nonsense, they're just ordinary friends." Li Xiaoan said lightly, closed the book on his lap, and put it aside.

"Don't look for people from the entertainment industry. My eldest brother likes to provoke women like that, but none of them have good results." Tang Yufei said old-fashionedly, and suddenly saw her sister wandering outside the glass door, she ran over happily and opened the glass The door leaned over and picked it up.

She straightened up and met An Xiaoduo who was chasing her sister.

Tang Yufei showed a surprised expression: "An Xiaoduo, why are you here?"

An Xiaoduo was actually not very willing to deal with Tang Yufei. From the first time she saw Tang Yufei pestering Li Xiaoan to tell bedtime stories, she knew that Tang Yufei had a serious brother-in-law complex.The fact is also the same, Tang Yufei has never liked her very much, and always felt that she stole Li Xiaoan.

Tang Yufei has a princess temper, jealousy is scarier than anything else.The birthdays of Tang Yufei and An Xiaoduo were only one day apart. One year, Li Xiaoan bought two different gifts and gave them to them respectively. Tang Yufei later saw An Xiaoduo's gift, which was a platinum gift left by her deceased aunt. The ring, so she accused Li Xiaoan of partiality, he gave such a precious thing as he said, but what he gave himself was a Chanel chain bag, it was just perfunctory for her!

"Go away, you are not welcome here, get out immediately!" Tang Yufei unceremoniously gave the order to evict the guest.

An Xiaoduo looked at her: "Miss Tang, this is not the Tang family mansion."

"You..." Tang Yufei turned her head to look at the person on the sofa, "Brother, why did you allow her to be here? Have you forgotten how she treated you?"

"Feifei, Aunt Cen is about to prepare lunch. Tell her what you want to eat."

Tang Yufei is not stupid, she naturally knew that her brother was going to send her away, she still wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes and saw her brother's cold expression, it made people feel intimidated, she didn't dare to disobey him, so she could only stare at the instigator with hatred, holding My sister went downstairs.

An Xiaoduo walked up to Li Xiaoan, and saw boiled water and a medicine box on the coffee table next to him. Since the poisoning incident, his body had been agitated from time to time. After An Xiaoduo recovered from his illness, it was his turn to have a low-grade fever, which lasted for a long time. For several days, the fever did not subside until yesterday.

She reached out her hand to touch the body of the cup, and the water had already cooled down. She was about to go downstairs to change a glass of warm water, but he stopped her: "No need to change it."

Before she could react, he had already thrown the medicine in the medicine box into her mouth, so she had to pass the water over and watch him swallow with his head up.

"I'll take you to Feifei's birthday party this weekend."

She looked at him: "Why?"

"No reason."

He responded lightly, lowered his head and continued to read, suppressing all emotions in his eyes.

During the meal, Tang Yufei sat next to Li Xiaoan, and An Xiaoduo sat on the other side, Tang Yufei was annoyed, she was very confused about the current situation, when did this woman appear in her brother's life again?

Thinking back to when this woman suddenly left without saying goodbye, although her brother didn't say anything, she could clearly see the pain in her eyes.

Tang Yufei thought, it is unforgivable to do something wrong and leave the mess behind.She wanted to teach this person a lesson, to embarrass him, but after thinking about it, she could only come up with some innocuous pranks, and her long-term good family education prevented her from doing anything out of the ordinary.

She ate depressingly, and had nothing to say: "Brother, what birthday gift are you going to give me? Let me state that I don't want any clothes, shoes, or bags."

Li Xiaoan smiled: "Then what do you want?"

"If you don't have a gift that you say you want, then there will be no surprises."

After An Xiaoduo finished drinking the soup, she wiped her mouth with a napkin: "I'm done eating, you guys take your time."

Tang Yufei turned her head to look at the back of her going upstairs, and whispered, "Brother, are you reconciled with her?"

Li Xiaoan didn't say a word: "Eat quickly, children don't care about adults' business."

"Don't always treat me like a child, I'm already an adult!" Tang Yufei said angrily.

"Okay, you are an older child, eat and be good."

Tang Yufei was speechless.

After eating, taking advantage of Li Xiaoan's lunch break, Tang Yufei followed An Xiaoduo into the cloakroom, An Xiaoduo was arranging the clothes to dry with a folding board, while Tang Yufei looked at her from the side.

Tang Yufei said: "You are really thick-skinned, why did you come back after you left? Do you know how sad my brother was at that time?"

"You don't know anything about me and him."

Tang Yufei said angrily: "I don't understand, you all think I don't understand, in fact, I know that brother loves you very much, I have never seen him treat a woman so hard. Yuan Yuan was killed when you took him out, Who knows if you are an accomplice? My mother once wanted to throw you into prison, but my brother begged my mother to let you go. My brother has never disobeyed my mother. That was the first time!"

Tang Yufei clearly remembered that the typhoon landed in Wucheng that night, the wind was howling outside, the rain was pouring, and the potted plants in the garden downstairs were swept up and down.She closed the doors and windows tightly, and hid in the room to listen to the music. The voice of the dispute came into her ears faintly. At first, she didn't pay attention to it. After a while, the voice became louder, and she suddenly realized that it was her brother who came. , He seemed to be arguing with his mother.She turned down the volume of the music, opened the door and went out, hiding by the railing of the stairs on the second floor, eavesdropping on the conversation between her brother and mother.

"Li Xiao'an, are you fascinated by the fox spirit?" Mom said sharply, she usually called her elder brother Xiao'an, and only when she was very angry would she call him by his first and last name.

"None of her business."

"Why is it none of her business? Who brought An Zhengran into your house? It was An Xiaoduo! It was she who gave An Zhengran a chance, and she sent Yuan Yuan to the tiger's mouth. How dare you say that it has nothing to do with her?" What happened? Are you worthy of your son? He is only five years old!" Mom was so angry that she slapped him backhand.

She almost cried out, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.My mother has always loved my brother, and she is reluctant to scold him on weekdays, let alone hit him, this is the first time.

She couldn't bear to see her brother, but she couldn't help it.Under the crystal lamp, my brother's face was pale, his left cheek was swollen, and a four to five centimeter long bloodstain was drawn from the corner of his eye to the bottom of his cheekbone. scratched.

That night her elder brother drove away in a violent storm. She chased after him and didn't want to let him go, but she was still a step too late, and could only watch his car disappear into the rainy night.Mom was so angry that although she didn't say anything, she knew that her mother stayed up all night. It wasn't until Wu Lixuan called early the next morning to find his brother that the two of them were in a state of turmoil. in situ.

Every time Tang Yufei recalled her downcast appearance that night, she felt so distressed that she wanted to cry, and felt that An Xiaoduo was unforgivable.

An Xiaoduo sighed: "Feifei, I love him as much as your brother loves me, do you understand?"

Tang Yufei shook her head: "If you really love your brother, you shouldn't break his heart."

An Xiaoduo didn't say anything, her eyes fell on the clothes in her hand again, and she began to fold them meticulously again.

Tang Yufei waited for a while, seeing that she was no longer paying attention to her, she gave her a hateful look, then slammed the door and left.

An Xiaoduo paused her hands, then continued to straighten her clothes as if nothing had happened.

Li Xiaoan woke up to take a nap, heard the sound of laughter outside, he went out - An Xiaoduo was sitting in the garden feeding the cat, while her younger sister was eating the snacks in her hand, while staring at the fish tank in her arms. There was a koi swimming, and she smiled and said to her sister, "No way, don't play tricks on it."

"Where did it come from?"

An Xiaoduo turned her head and saw him, her apricot-core eyes shone with shrewd light, she pointed out with a smile: "I caught it in the lotus pond, this stupid one is the best trick."

With the mist in the morning and the breeze blowing, Li Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, as if returning to their first time, how much he loves her, even he himself doesn't know.At that time, the sunrise and sunset were full of poetry, and the breeze and drizzle were full of tenderness. He could kiss her, hug her, and pet her at any time.At that time, her smile was bright and pure, like a mountain stream after a new rain in the empty mountain. He loved her so much for her delicacy and childishness.If he could go back to the past and love her unscrupulously and frankly like before, even if it was only for one day, he would be willing to die.

"what happened to you?"

The girl in front of him opened her eyes and looked at him. He came back to his senses and turned his face away like a cover-up: "It's nothing, why did you want to catch her?"

She smiled: "I am teasing my sister, it goes to the side to stare at it every day, and it can't go away even if it barks."

The slender white hand stroked the younger sister's head, and the younger sister grunted comfortably, lying sprawled on the ground.

"Do you remember what it was like when your sister first arrived?" she said.

"Remember, it's not ugly at all."

The younger sister is a stray cat that An Xiaoduo picked up on the road. It was only about a month old when she picked it up. I don’t know how long it has been wandering. The fur on its body is so dirty that its original color cannot be seen. , it couldn't see, it hid beside the dustbin and shivered, meowing incessantly.An Xiaoduo sent it to the pet hospital for eye treatment, and took good care of it for more than half a month. Its eyes were healed, but it was still skinny. It was looking for someone to adopt, but people looked at the photos and thought it was ugly and not easy to feed.In a fit of anger, An Xiaoduo decided to raise her by herself, and named it Meimei. Although she became a younger sister by calling her, she lived up to An Xiaoduo's wishes and became more beautiful every day.

"Our sister is an ugly duckling turned into a swan." She put the fish tank on the stone table under the shade of the tree, "Do you think the people who disliked my sister at the beginning will regret it to death if they see the current sister?"

"It's best to regret to die." Li Xiaoan scratched his sister's chin.

An Xiaoduo laughed, her eyes were like crescent moons: "I was pretty ugly when I was a child, not at all like my parents. At that time, my grandmother was still alive, so I asked my mother if the hospital gave me the wrong hug. Fortunately, I I grew up like them, have you never seen my mother? She was a great beauty when she was young, my eyebrows and eyes resemble hers, and my father resembles everything else."

She spoke happily, as if she didn't see Li Xiaoan's face cooling down little by little.

An Xiaoduo looked up at the sky, it was clear and clear in autumn.

"Let's go for a walk."

Li Xiao'an was sick for a few days and felt a little bored in the room, so he agreed.

An Xiaoduo cheered, let go of her sister, and came over to hug his arm. He felt that she was abnormal today, so he stared at her for a while.

She didn't know it, she just kept urging him.

"Brother, where are you going?" Tang Yufei lay on the balcony on the second floor and looked at them.

"Going on an outing, you are not allowed to follow." An Xiaoduo said.

"Why don't you allow it?" Tang Yufei retorted angrily.

"Do you want to be a light bulb?"

Tang Yufei choked.

An Xiaoduo took the opportunity to pull Li Xiaoan out, the private car was parked at the door, An Xiaoduo got into the driver's seat first, and said to Li Xiaoan, "Today I will be the driver."

Li Xiaoan silently sat on the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt with one hand.

"where to?"

An Xiaoduo thought for a while: "Let's go to Shuiyuan Mountain, the air is good there, and it's not far from the national highway."

Li Xiaoan didn't say a word, An Xiaoduo took the car as his acquiescence, drove the car out, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of Pearl Villa.

Two hours later they arrived at the destination, parked the car in the parking lot, the two got out of the car, An Xiaoduo held Li Xiaoan's arm affectionately, unsuspecting tourists thought they were either a couple in love or newlyweds young couple.

There is a famous staircase in Shuiyuan Mountain, called Qingyun Ladder. It is said that there are hundreds of stone steps leading directly to the top of the mountain, which is a major landscape of Shuiyuan Mountain.Looking from the bottom up, the stone steps seem to meet the blue sky and go straight to the sky.The two followed a tour group to the foot of the mountain. An Xiaoduo raised her head and sighed, "It's so high..."

She felt powerless. Mountaineering had never been her strong point. She was dragged by Chu Kui to climb the mountain before. She persisted until halfway at most, and then sat on the ground to rest endlessly, and finally let Chu Kui drag her like a puppy. go up.

"Let's not go up, the Buddhist temples are over there, let's go in and have a look." Seeing Li Xiaoan moving forward, An Xiaoduo hurriedly pulled him back.

Pedestrians in twos and threes walked past them, and one of them, an old man in his 60s and [-]s, said to them, "Little girl, is this your first time here? You must go up the Qingyun Ladder. There is a Daxiong Palace on the top of the mountain, which is very spectacular." , It’s a pity if you don’t look at it! Besides, the more difficult the road is, the more you show your sincerity. Before this ladder was built, believers would go up the mountain road with three kowtows and nine obeisances.”

An Xiaoduo said "Aha": "The Buddha still values ​​this?"

"Of course!" The uncle straightened his back and went up with a smile.

"Can't you make it?" Li Xiao'an said with an indifferent attitude.

An Xiaoduo gritted her teeth: "Go."

Just after walking a few stone steps, she asked Li Xiaoan: "Can you bear it physically?"
