Become a star to protect you

Chapter 17 You Haven't Forgotten Me, And You Still Care About Me (2)
"I'm sorry for interrupting your sweet time." An Yichen sneered, and instead of looking at Xia Xiaoxi who was on the side, he just said to Gong Haoyu, "Then, congratulations. Gong, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Yi, why do you say that about Xiaoxi? Hey, Yi, you just came..."

But he didn't look back, just turned around and left, leaving them with a haughty back.

Xia Xiaoxi looked at his back as he went away, she couldn't describe her mood at the moment, she just felt like a dream.She tried her best to calm herself down, but the anger surging in her chest almost burst her chest.

She couldn't believe those words came from An Yichen's mouth.

She doesn't believe it!

"An Yichen!"

With a loud shout, Gong Haoyu trembled in shock, and raised his head to look at her in astonishment.

"An Yichen, stop for me!"

She pushed away the person in front of her, Gong Haoyu's exclamation came from behind her, and then the sound of something falling to the ground.

But at this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, she didn't believe that An Yichen would treat her like this.She had to ask clearly, she couldn't even wait a minute.Tears were about to flow out of her eyes, she could only widen her eyes, forcing herself to force those tears back.

She quickly caught up with An Yichen and grabbed his hand.

An Yichen's body froze immediately.

"Why? Tell me why!" Seeing that An Yichen lowered her head and refused to look at her, she held his face in her hands and forced him to look at her. With tears in her eyes, she asked unwillingly, "Yi, you Don’t you know me? What’s wrong with you? I’m Xiaoxi, I’m Xia Xiaoxi! Why don’t you know me anymore? Why haven’t you heard from me this year?”

An Yichen frowned, clenched his fist quietly, but still did not answer.

"Yi, have you forgotten? You said you would definitely come back to me, no matter who you are or what your status is, you will come to me! I am Xiaoxi, Yi, what's wrong with you?" Xia Xiaoxi looked up. I looked at him without blinking my eyes, and every time I said a word, my pale lips trembled violently, "Yi, do you know how much I have missed you this year? I miss you so much...I miss you so much." you……"

Suddenly, she pounced on An Yichen and hugged him tightly.

The tears that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, and she cried loudly.She thought of her parents passing away one after another, she remembered that she became an orphan overnight, and she remembered that even An Yichen had become a stranger.In the past year, she has experienced so much, but she has never cried so loudly.

The heart that had nothing to rely on finally collapsed at this moment.

The person she misses day and night is standing in front of her eyes, but he turns a blind eye to her. He is the only hope in her life. How can he treat her like this?

He used to love her so much, why did he become like this now?

An Yichen clenched his teeth, as if trying to endure something, his body trembled.

When Xia Xiaoxi burst into tears, he finally stopped being tough and let her hug him, the warmth that he had been lusting after for a long time came into his heart unexpectedly.

However, he still said in a cold tone: "What? Now you have changed your target again? Could it be because you found out that my family is richer than the Gong family?"

Xia Xiaoxi's heart became cold little by little, she slowly let go of her hand, and looked at the boy in front of her in disbelief, the familiar face turned strange at this moment.

"How can you say that about me?" She shook her head slightly and took a step back.

There was a trace of pain and annoyance in An Yichen's dark eyes. He forced a smile and said, "Then what should I say? Since you miss me so much, what do I see? Xia Xiaoxi, do you really miss me that much?" Why? Why do I see you and Miyagi inseparable? Don't you think it's funny when you say you miss me?"

"I……"

Xia Xiaoxi was about to refute, but the words she was about to say suddenly stuck in her throat.

She blinked her eyes, looked at the boy opposite, and couldn't make up her mind, what did he mean just now?
When she finally understood what he meant, she looked at An Yichen's face in disbelief. Was he jealous?Did he misunderstand because he saw himself with Gong Haoyu?

An Yichen was startled for a moment, but after realizing what he said, he became very embarrassed.He opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, a suspicious blush appeared on his face.

Xia Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, she asked: "Do you think I'm with Gong Haoyu, that's why you pretend you don't know me?"

"No!" He turned his head to the side, looking a little flustered.

However, a faint smile appeared in Xia Xiaoxi's eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the smile on her face became stronger and stronger.

"Is that why you pretended you didn't know me and said those ugly things to me coldly? You haven't forgotten me, and you still care about me, right? You are still the same Yi who loved and doted on me before, yes Isn't it?" Xia Xiaoxi's smile became brighter and brighter.

An Yichen pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Xia Xiaoxi smiled and laughed, but tears kept falling down.She cried and laughed, clenched her fist and beat his chest hard, crying, "Damn Yi! You are a villain, you are a big villain! Do you know, I thought you had an accident, I thought you Amnesia, otherwise why would you not know me? You are good or bad, do you know how much I have missed you this year... Yi...you are back, you are finally back..."

As she murmured his name, her strength gradually decreased, but her tears became more violent.

An Yichen finally couldn't control himself, he stretched out his hand suddenly, hugged her into his arms, and wiped away her tears distressedly.

Yeah, she was right, he was a badass.

How could he make Xiaoxi, who was always laughing, cry?

Still in such a familiar embrace, Xia Xiaoxi felt like she was dreaming, but she was afraid that she was really dreaming.Her Yi is back, and she is finally no longer alone!
How she wished that time would stop at this moment forever, leaning in his arms like this forever, never to be separated again...

Although he didn't speak anymore, she felt it. He hugged her so hard that he almost rubbed her into his body.She felt the deep yearning in his heart, felt his joy, and also felt...

The arrival of love.

Yes, it is love!

Thinking of this word, the smile in Xia Xiaoxi's eyes deepened, and a sweetness welled up in her heart.

Isn't what Yi said just now just jealous?If he only regarded her as his younger sister, how could he be jealous because of her getting close to Gong Haoyu?Jealousy is a lover's privilege!
lover...

Thinking of this word, Xia Xiaoxi only felt that happiness came suddenly, without warning, leaving her unprepared.But at this moment, she was really happy!
She had never been so truly happy this year.

"So, you guys have known each other for a long time?" Gong Haoyu's voice was scattered by the wind and fell into the ears of the two.

The bodies of the two hugging stiffened at the same time.

"So, not only have you known each other for a long time, but you have also been dating for a long time?"

It seemed that even the air was stained with that thick sadness, and they couldn't believe that such a sad voice was made by that sunny boy.

The two turned their heads at the same time——

Behind them, Gong Haoyu stood facing the wind holding the broken crystal necklace, his wet hair was already dried by the wind, and the strands of hair were messy covering his eyes, looking like a puppet without a soul.

Xia Xiaoxi left An Yichen's embrace, unable to bear to see Gong Haoyu's expression.

He was so sad, his eyes were filled with grief and astonishment, he stood there in a daze, watching them embrace each other in disbelief.

Betrayal, anger, sadness, all kinds of emotions flashed in his eyes one by one.

"It turns out that he is the one in your heart... I'm so stupid, no wonder you know what music Xiaoxi likes to listen to, no wonder you were so weird when you met last time. An Yichen, what do you think of me? I'm the one to make fun of Are you a fool? Are you happy to see my meticulous preparation these days, seeing me nervous? Then why did you pretend that you didn't know each other before? Is it fun to play me like this?"

At the end, he almost roared.

He clenched his fists tightly, a burst of pain spread from his palm to his heart, and a glaring stream of blood flowed out from his palm, staining the crystal necklace red.

"Gong Haoyu, your hand..." Xia Xiaoxi exclaimed, and ran to grab his arm, but he threw it away forcefully.

Xia Xiaoxi's heart throbbed.

She didn't want to hurt Gong Haoyu, and at this moment he was hurt not only because of her, but also because Gong Haoyu had always regarded An Yichen as his best friend, but he was kept in the dark.

"It's okay, Xiaoxi, let me explain." An Yichen walked over and patted Xia Xiaoxi's head lightly, his eyes were full of warmth, not as cold as when they first met.

After appeasing her, he turned to Gong Haoyu.

"What else is there to explain? Continue to make up a set of lies to deceive me? Or continue to pretend to be innocent to see me make a fool of myself? An Yichen, thanks to my brother, you treat me like this... Gong Haoyu sneered and took a step back, looking coldly at the two people in front of him.

"Our brother for so long, don't you believe me?"

"Heh... how do you make me believe you?" Gong Haoyu shook his head, looking at him like a stranger.

"Now it's up to me to introduce you. This is Xia Xiaoxi. Before returning to An's house, I lived in her house. I mentioned it to you, you know." An Yichen said quietly, with sincere eyes , without a trace of lying, "Think carefully about whether I have told you about her."

"I know?" Gong Haoyu calmed down after hearing this.He frowned, trying to think about something.

"Remember when you first met me? I told you some stories, and the protagonist of that story was me."

Gong Haoyu's body trembled, he suddenly raised his head and said, "You mean..."

"Gong, think about it, have I lied to you?" An Yichen said with a smile, then turned to look at Xia Xiaoxi, "We haven't seen each other for a year. There was a reason why I pretended I didn't know her before." Said At this point, he hesitated for a moment, but did not continue.

God knows, after a year of separation, when he saw Xia Xiaoxi again, how much he wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.But he didn't do that, because he saw that there were other people around her, and he didn't know whether her happiness still needed to be given by him.More importantly, now he can't even control his own destiny...

Gong Haoyu took a breath, looking a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the girl An Yichen was talking about was actually Xia Xiaoxi.

By the way, he remembered that An Yichen's story mentioned that the family name he lived in was Xia, and because he needed money, he "sold" him to the An family.He suddenly woke up and understood why An Yichen was so indifferent that day.

But if that story is true...

The extinguished light in his eyes lit up again, and he said with a hint of doubt: "So, Xiaoxi is your sister! That's why you are so special to her. Yi, are you a brother? Let me make it clear, I was shocked just now!"

He stepped forward and thumped An Yichen's shoulder hard.

"Sister?" Xia Xiaoxi murmured, turning her head to look at An Yichen.

What did he say to Gong Haoyu?How could Gong Haoyu say such a thing?Could it be that in his heart, he just regards himself as a younger sister?So what was his performance just now?No one would be jealous of his own sister!
He lied!
How can he lie?

An Yichen avoided her eyes, struggling a bit.

"So, you have always regarded me as your younger sister?" Xia Xiaoxi took a step closer, looking at him fixedly, hoping that he would deny it.

An Yichen didn't look up, until Xia Xiaoxi grabbed his arms forcefully, forcing him to look into her eyes, and he couldn't avoid looking at her.Her eyes were as clear and agile as a pool of lake water, leaving nowhere to hide the thoughts in his heart.

After a long silence, he clenched his fists and finally nodded: "Yes, I have always regarded you as my relative."

Xia Xiaoxi let go of her hand feebly.

After a while, she smiled: "Dear family?"

An Yichen was silent, but his heart was suffering.How much he wanted to tell her that was not the case, that he liked her, had always liked her, and from the past to the present, his heart had never changed.But, can he really give her happiness?He has long since dared not hope for a bright future.

"Sister, relative? Do you really think so?" Xia Xiaoxi asked with trembling lips.

"Xiao Xi..."

"An Yichen, what kind of sister am I? Are you my mother? Why should I be your sister? I'm not your sister!" Xia Xiaoxi yelled sadly, turned around and was about to run, just took a step , was caught by An Yichen.

The smile on Gong Haoyu's face slowly froze, his expression became more and more ugly, and there was a layer of mist in his dark eyes.

A drop of bright red blood dripped from his fingertips, leaving a rose-like color on the ground.

Xia Xiaoxi turned her head and saw An Yichen holding her arm tightly, slowly raised her head, her eyes met his with questioning and sadness.She saw pain and reluctance in An Yichen's eyes. He grabbed her so hard, but she broke his fingers one by one.

All along, she always thought that he somewhat liked her.Doesn't the expression he revealed inadvertently also prove this point?

It turned out not to be.

From the beginning to the end, she was self-indulgent, and they just regarded her as a family member, how ridiculous!

"Xiaoxi, you... the important person you mentioned is Yi?" Gong Haoyu chased after him and asked unwillingly.

"Gong, I'm sorry, I can't promise you." Xia Xiaoxi didn't answer his words, but said firmly with a trace of determination, "I know what you think about me, but I can't accept you. What I say may hurt you, But I can't lie to you. Gong, I like you, but I like you as a friend. I am very grateful for your care for me, and for the happiness and warmth you have brought me these days, but I can't be your girlfriend. Feel sorry!"

After finishing speaking, she struggled to break away from An Yichen's hand, and left without looking back.

She knew that behind her, those two teenagers who seemed to have stepped out of a cartoon were quietly watching her back, and her heart ached so much that it was even difficult to breathe.

Tears slid down his cheeks and were quickly blown into the air by the wind.

The sky, which was still bright just now, seemed to feel her sadness, and suddenly became cloudy, with dark clouds blocking the sun.

The breath of grief lingered in the wind for a long time...
