Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 268 The Lost Scarf

The most precious time for something is often the moment when people have lost it.

Even if it is the most inconspicuous gadget that you don't care about in daily life, you will feel a little sad when you lose it.

Not to mention the treasure that was already treasured, if one day you suddenly find that you have lost it, and there seems to be no way to get it back anyway.

The feeling of heartache overflowed throughout my body, as if I was ill, with pain all over my limbs.

Xu Niannian leaned against the door panel of his bedroom and slowly slid down to the ground. This was how he felt at the moment.

I heard the crisp sound of broken glass falling to the ground, maybe this was the illusion of heartbreak.

But……

She was obviously the one who came first...

He and Yan Chijuan had only known each other for more than half a year, so why did they suddenly reach this point?

Xu Niannian has never hated her identity as a sister as much as she does at this moment.

If there was no obstruction from this layer of identity, wouldn't he be able to be with Xu Xing a long time ago?

If she had been braver when she was a child and took the initiative to show off with her parents, Xu Xing would have known the fact that she was adopted earlier.

Then in the days to come, will it no longer have anything to do with Yan Chi vinegar?

Xu Niannian didn't know.

But facing the current situation, what else can she do besides regretting it?

Just like what she said to Xu Xing just now, Juju is also a good girl and deserves to be loved well.

If you are a boy yourself, it may be difficult to resist the charm of jealousy.

Everything is a mistake.

Perhaps from the moment she was adopted as a child, she was destined to have a close relationship with Xu Xing.

Xu Niannian slumped on the ground leaning against the door panel, clenching and unclenching his hands, his shoulders twitching from time to time, trying hard to hold back his sobs.

She raised her hand and carefully touched her still moist lips.

The smell of Xu Xing still lingers on it.

If possible, I really want the kiss just now to last forever and never be separated again.

pity.

My brother is no longer my own.

He has another woman outside and no longer needs her as a sister.

Thinking of this, Xu Niannian choked and twitched more violently, and he covered his mouth hard to barely make a loud sound.

She didn't know how to face these things, and everything was developing in the direction she least wanted to see.

If she could do it over again, she would openly reveal all the truth during the summer vacation after Xu Xing's college entrance examination.

It’s just that there are no ifs in this world, and no matter how you assume, it will never come true.

Now that it has reached this point, it seems that there is no room for recovery.

At least facing a girl like Juju, Xu Niannian really didn't have the confidence and cruel determination to snatch Xu Xing from Juju's hands.

But even if he gave up, Xu Niannian knew that it would be difficult for him to fall in love with other men in his life.

Perhaps silently watching Xu Xing continue to grow would be an option.

Xu Niannian tried hard to find an angle to comfort himself, and his ears could already hear the sound of the door opening and footsteps of Xu Xing walking out of the room.

Then the footsteps got closer and closer, finally stopping at the door of her bedroom.

There was a door panel between the two of them, and Xu Xing knocked.

Toot toot.

Xu Xing knocked on the door very softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

"Sister Nian Nian?"

Xu Xing tried softly outside the door. He was obviously a little worried about Xu Niannian's condition.

Hearing Xu Xing's voice, Xu Niannian subconsciously wanted to speak.

But when he opened his mouth, he choked up and almost cried.

Fortunately, she quickly covered her mouth again, pursed her lips, supported the ground with one hand, and tried to get up from the ground.

You can't talk near the door... Xu Niannian thought so in his mind, he reluctantly stood up from the ground, and when he walked to the bed, he stumbled and fell on the bed.

"Sister Nian Nian, are you okay?" Xu Xing was a little worried and tried pressing the door handle, but found that the bedroom door had been locked, "Don't scare me."

"I'm fine." Xu Niannian shrank into his bed. His trembling body, which was originally cold, seemed to have finally gained some warmth. After suppressing his crying, there was a slight tremor left in his tone, "I

Go to bed first, you can go and have some rest too."

"Is everything okay?" Xu Xing frowned outside the door, still a little worried, "Open the door, let me take a look."

"What are you looking at? I'm naked." Xu Niannian said angrily, "Come in if you can, and I'll eat you up and wipe you clean, making you cry with jealousy."

"...Stop joking."

"Then shut up."

Xu Xing opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more about going in.

"Then I'm going to bed too, good night."

"Go, go, go!"

Listening to Xu Xing's footsteps leaving the door, Xu Niannian lay on his side on the bed and heard it very clearly.

Every step seemed to strike on her heartstrings, playing the parting melancholy.

Tears flowed quietly and horizontally on her cheeks in the direction of gravity.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the wall. There was no projection, but the scenes of her past interactions were replayed like a slideshow, with scenes flashing by and disappearing.

The shining eyes couldn't see these scenes, but even after closing them tightly, they couldn't stop the brain from recalling. Instead, the tears became more and more violent, completely blurring the vision.

…

In Xu Xing's bedroom separated by a wall.

After returning from Xu Niannian's bedroom door, he calmed down and Xu Xing had time to pick up the mobile phone placed by the bedside and click on it to read the messages on it.

High school and college classmates all sent New Year greetings, and employees in the company also sent New Year greetings.

After Xu Xing saw it, he sent a group message of Happy New Year. Unfortunately, WeChat has not yet implemented the WeChat red envelope function. It is really a bit itchy to send red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

Afterwards, Xu Xing clicked on Yan Chijiu's WeChat chat interface and took a look.

I found out that she had sent a message around five o'clock in the evening.

[Vinegar]: Look at the dumplings I made, they are ready!

At that time, the family was worshiping ancestors, and after finishing cleaning up, dinner was served, and Xu Xing didn't pay attention to his cell phone.

[Vinegar]: Are you having New Year’s Eve dinner? Isn’t it very sumptuous?

This was sent around half past six.

[Jinjiang]: The Spring Festival Gala has begun! Sister Yuanyuan and I watched it together.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Xing was already drunk by Xu Jian, and was helped upstairs by Xu Niannian. He just drank the honey water and fell asleep, and he had no chance to reply to her.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Chijuan called me.

However, he must have been sleeping the most deeply at that time, and he was not woken up by the sound of cell phone calls at all.

[Jiujiu]: Are you not with your cell phone? Remember to reply to me when you see the message later.

It wasn't until around eleven o'clock that Yan Chijuan sent another message.

[Jinjiang]: Remember to check my circle of friends. I went downstairs to set off fireworks with Sister Yuanyuan. I will take photos!

When it was almost early in the morning, Yan Chijuan called again.

Xu Xing was probably still sleeping at that time. It wasn't until he was woken up by the fireworks outside the window that he realized that he had been secretly kissed by Xu Niannian.

[Vinegar]: Happy New Year!

【Vinegar】: Remember to reply when you see the message!

[Vinegar]: I miss you so much.

[Vinegar]: It would be great if the New Year fireworks could be set off with you.

This is a message from Yan Chijiu on New Year's Eve.

Hmm... Xu Xing is probably being secretly kissed by Xu Niannian right now.

Later, when Xu Xing was confessing the truth to Xu Niannian, Yan Chijiu called again.

【Xu Xing】: Come back with me during the Chinese New Year next year.

[Vinegar]: Huh? Didn't you sleep?

【Xu Xing】: I miss you so much that I can’t sleep.

[Vinegar]: I can’t sleep either.

[Xu Xing]: What do you think of my proposal?

【Jinju】: Let’s talk about this next year~ I don’t even know what my uncle and aunt will think about it.

[Xu Xing]: I took my girlfriend home to meet her parents. It’s not like you haven’t seen them before if they have any opinions.

【Jinju】: Oh~ but there are still your grandparents.

[Xu Xing]: Then there should be no objection. My grandparents got married before they were twenty.

[Jiujiu]: What are you thinking about? We haven’t graduated yet.

[Xu Xing]: I didn’t think about anything. It’s obvious that you are overthinking it.

Yan Chijiu was a little shy because of what he said, and rolled around on Yao Yuanyuan's bed.

"Hey, hey, can you calm down a little bit?" Yao Yuanyuan was lying on the bed chatting with someone on WeChat. Seeing Yan Chijue's appearance, he could guess who this girl was chatting with, "Just calm down and be reserved.

."

"Oh." Yan Chiju was a little embarrassed. He retracted under the covers and held his cell phone, trying to keep quiet. Then he couldn't hold it back anymore and whispered, "Xu Xing wants me to go home with him for the New Year next year."

"Stop showing off to me, can you just say a few words?" Yao Yuanyuan was speechless, "You always show off your dog food at my house, and my mother will urge me to find a partner again."

"Aren't there many people in the company who are interested in you?" Yan Chijie asked, blinking his big eyes.

"Do you think I am you? The person you want to fall in love with is directly the boss of the company." Yao Yuanyuan couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "I don't want to fall in love with my colleagues, it will easily affect my work."

The two of them were chatting, and Yan Chijiu received another message from Xu Xing.

[Xu Xing]: I haven’t asked yet. You went to your dad’s house for dinner yesterday. What exactly happened?

【Vinegar】This...

Seeing Xu Xing asking about this news, Yan Chijuan's face darkened obviously, but she quickly cheered up, took a deep breath, and continued to reply to him.

【Vinegar】: Actually, it’s nothing, I just learned about some things that happened that year.

【Xu Xing】: That’s it, I understand.

Xu Xing did not directly ask what it was.

This kind of thing is obviously a very private matter. If Yan Chijiu doesn't want to talk about it, Xu Xing doesn't need to force himself to find out.

But Yan Chijiu still said.

【Jieju】: When will you come back? There are some things that I want to tell you in person, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.

【Xu Xing】:Okay, I'll try to go back as soon as possible.

【Xu Xing】: In the past few days, I should follow my parents to visit relatives’ houses nearby. After all the visits, I won’t stay here for a long time.

[Vinegar]: Okay~

[Jealous]: Sister Yuanyuan and the others have no relatives to visit, and Aunt Pei will have to go to work tomorrow, so Sister Yuanyuan and I plan to return to the company tomorrow.

[Jiujiu]: If you have anything to give me, you can tell me directly.

[Xu Xing]: Well, you are indeed my little secretary, very capable.

[Vinegar]: Hehe.

I kept chatting with Yan Chijuan until two or three o'clock in the night.

People downstairs gradually went upstairs to sleep.

Soon, the fireworks outside the window gradually faded, and the new year arrived. Yan Chijue fell asleep while chatting.

Xu Xing was awake from eight o'clock in the evening until early morning because he was drunk before, but now he is awake and not sleepy.

Just when he confirmed that Yan Chijuan was asleep, he heard the sound of the door of the bedroom next door being opened.

A familiar footstep sounded, and there was an obvious pause as he passed by his door.

When Xu Xing realized that it was Xu Niannian outside the door, he didn't know what he was expecting, so he closed his eyes by mistake and stuffed his phone under the pillow.

Soon, the bedroom door was opened.

But Xu Xing didn't hear the sound of footsteps entering the bedroom.

Xu Niannian just stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at Xu Xing who was sleeping soundly on the bed from a distance. He looked like this for a long time, but did not go in to do anything.

After a long time, she closed the bedroom door again.

Xu Xing opened his eyes and heard the sound of Xu Niannian's footsteps leaving the bedroom door.

But the direction the footsteps were leaving was neither back to the bedroom next door nor to the bathroom opposite, but towards the stairs.

Xu Xing got up from the bed, walked to the bedroom door and listened, and could hear Xu Niannian's footsteps coming downstairs.

Maybe you're thirsty?

Xu Xing thought this and wanted to follow him downstairs to see how Xu Niannian was doing now.

He walked back to the bed, took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, put on the clothes and pants that Xu Niannian had taken off before, and stood by the window to change them.

But just when he was about to go out, he saw a figure walking out of the window and into the yard downstairs.

Xu Xing looked intently and saw Xu Niannian, wearing a down jacket, walking out of the gate on the first floor. Stepping on the snow in the yard, he found an open space and squatted down. He took out a lighter and lit a fairy stick in his hand.

Stand by the window and look down.

The tall sister squatted on the snow, like a helpless child, looking at the fairy wand that continued to burn and emit tiny sparks in her hand.

She raised the fairy wand and made gestures in mid-air before it went out.

Although the angle was different, Xu Xing could easily see that she wrote "Xu" and then "Xing".

Then, she took out another fairy stick, lit it, and wrote the words "Xu Niannian" in the same position in mid-air.

It seemed that this was the only way to give her some comfort.

Xu Xing, who was standing on the second floor, pursed his lips and watched this scene. Then he turned around and went to the suitcase he brought back and took out something from it.

…

In the courtyard on the first floor.

After Xu Niannian wrote the names of two people with a fairy stick, he squatted on the ground again, holding the extinguished fairy stick in his hand, and wrote the names of Xu Xing and Xu Niannian on the snow, and then connected the two people with a heart.

pack.

She looked at the scene on the snow, smiled stupidly, and poked "Xu Xing"'s name with the fairy stick, as if she was letting off steam.

But in the next second, when Xu Niannian was still immersed in this scene, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Afterwards, Xu Niannian felt warm on his neck and head.

A scarf fell down and covered her head.

"Is it fun to secretly play with fireworks alone? You don't know how to call me."
