Chapter 40

After pouring a big mouthful of water, Chi Yu told the story in a casual manner

Xue Dehui must have told you about our background

My hometown is in Jinghe

My grandfather came to Jinghe during the war to avoid disaster, met my grandmother, and finally settled there.

Taking advantage of Chi Yu's pause, Xue Xue asked: Have you known Xue Dehui was investigating you for a long time?

Chi Yu did not deny it, Xue Xue was silent

The man's background seemed to be more unusual than she thought. The control that seemed to hold everything in her hands was like the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha. No matter how capable Sun Wukong was, he thought he had reached the end, but in fact he just jumped a few times in his palm and couldn't roll out anything.

But she quickly put aside the unspeakable feeling in her heart, cheered up and focused on Chi Yu's next words

My father had four brothers and sisters, but he was the only one who survived due to various artificial accidents in the end because of the only one who survived.

He told me since he was a child that he had to be strong enough to have enough ability to protect the people he wanted to protect

Perhaps because of the mention of parents, Chi Yu's facial expression was like a misty morning, a forest with thin sunshine, soft and warm

My parents are all very good people, at least for me, they are the best parents

The composition I wrote in elementary school, about dreams, is to become a superman who can protect his family like a father.

At this time, Chi Yu was in a very rare state

Xue Xue has seen the happy Chi Yu, the gentle Chi Yu acting cute Chi Yu, the angry Chi Yu, the out-of-control Chi Yu, and the uneasy Chi Yu...

As a lover and a cohabitation person, she can be said to have seen many faces of each other, including what they usually show and are not often revealed in front of others.

But now Chi Yu's side makes her very unfamiliar

It seems like I am missing something, but it seems like I am sad about why

Contradictory emotions made Chi Yu fall into a situation that only he could understand.

Xue Xue didn't want to break it out loud, but just put her palm on his hands that were clenched into fists, silently giving encouragement and comfort.

I had a happy childhood

I think...it should be very happy

The last few words Chi Yu said very lightly, like a breeze that left no trace. If it weren't for the quiet environment at this time, Xue Xue was listening to Chi Yu's speech very attentively, and he might not have been able to tell what he said.

It looks like my lips are just moving

Why is it supposed to be?

Why? Chi Yu laughed because it was too far

Um?

Childhood, happiness, mom and dad... These are all too far away from me. Chi Yu's eyes are deep and far away. It's like a thing in his previous life.

Hearing this, Xue Xue was stunned

Chi Yu is just a young and middle-aged man now. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is at a great age with both depth and vitality in his life. However, if you just listen to his tone, you will be like an old man in his twilight years looking back at the past when the deadline is approaching, full of sighs of ruthless time

Although I already knew from Xue Dehui what Chi Yu might have experienced in the past without her participation, when the words spoken from Chi Yu, the impact on Xue Xue was even stronger.

And this is just the beginning

Xue Xue subconsciously used force to hold Chi Yu, not knowing whether she wanted to calm his heart or her own.

Chi Yu lowered his eyelids and his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them. With a backhand, he wrapped Xue Xue's small hand into a circle formed by his big hand.

Maybe everything will turn out to be the worst. When I was ten years old, they had an accident and left.

I was very sad at that time, so sad that even on a sunny day, I felt that the sky was gray.

Chi Yu paused

For a while, everyone was busy dealing with their parents' funerals and couldn't control me at all. I didn't want to see those adults who only talked about inheritance. So I just locked myself in the room and didn't come out. I just relied on a little snack and drink in the cabinet to fill my stomach.

With Chi Yu's description, Xue Xue outlined a picture in her mind

A child with delicate eyebrows and eyes, beautiful and quiet eyes, staying alone in the room without seeing the sun, with his eyes blank and crying silently while holding his knees

Xue Xue just felt that his heart was tightened all of a sudden

Identifying the woman's loving eyes, Chi Yu lifted up his eyelids, his peach blossom eyes were dizzy, pink and a little misty, and his charm was very charming.

He suddenly laughed

He grabbed Xue Xue's elbow and pulled the person into his arms with force.

Xue Xue blinked

The muscles pressed down below are firm and tight, and even through two layers of fabric, you can feel the undulating lines.

Only then did Xue Xue realize that Chi Yu's mood was far more uneasy than what he showed.

Perhaps, this is a matter of revealing his own scars for him

Xue Xue felt distressed, but she knew that if the roots rot, they had to be digged out, otherwise they would be dragged and corrupted together.

Finally, Chi Yu spoke. Xue Xue couldn't let Chi Yu shrink himself back into the shell because of his own discomfort and continued the attitude of ignoring it before, which was ignored.

Adhering to this idea, Xue Xue just curled up in the man's arms and adjusted a comfortable position to listen to the next story

Little did she know that her slow movements seemed to Chi Yu as if a domestically raised little white cat was looking for her.

Very cute
