After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

There seemed to be an invisible wall between the two of them, separating their past from their present.

They were once so close, but now they can only stand opposite each other in such awkwardness.

And the root of all this started when she lost the child in her belly.

Ever since that child left their world,

The two people's hearts were like a torn scroll, and could never be pieced back together again.

It was not just the loss of a life, but also the breaking of the emotional bond between them.
Every crack is deep and painful.

Yang Xiaozhi finally mustered up the courage to speak out a complete and heavy sentence:

"That home is too cold. I don't want to go back."

There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, as if every word was loaded with heavy emotion.

Chen Fang heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and that smile contained both bitterness and relief:
“It turns out I’m not the only one who thinks so.”

The air around them froze again, and fell into a suffocating silence.

The two stood face to face, as if time had stopped.

Although we are close to each other, our hearts seem to be thousands of miles apart.

This stalemate made the temperature around them drop a few degrees.

Even the air was filled with an indescribable sense of depression.

The cold wind in the early morning hit me at the right time, with a biting chill that penetrated my clothes.

It blows mercilessly on the two of them.
It seemed to add a touch of desolation to this embarrassing scene.

However, in this cold wind, neither of them flinched.
Just standing quietly, letting the wind blow their thoughts far away,

It also blew away the words that I wanted to say but didn't know where to start.

Time passed quietly in the silent contest. I don't know how long it took.

Finally, Yang Xiaozhi mustered up the courage and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"I... better go first."

His voice was slightly hoarse, but it also revealed an unquestionable determination.

"You should go back and rest early, too. It's not safe for a girl to be out alone so late."

Chen Fang nodded gently when she heard this, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

It seemed like there were thousands of words he wanted to say, but in the end they all turned into a simple "hmm".

Yang Xiaozhi looked at her and opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

He turned around and walked into the night with heavy steps, leaving behind only a lonely figure, which gradually walked away in the cold wind.

Chen Fang stood there, watching him leave until the figure completely disappeared from her sight.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, feeling mixed emotions.

……

At the Xue family, Xue Xing pestered Xue Yang to talk about the problem all night.

Finally, he was forcibly taken back by Ms. Yang Zhaodi in the early morning.

"Xingzai, don't you realize what time it is? You're still pestering your brother to explain the questions. It's time to let your brother have a good rest."

Xue Xing heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed across his face, but then he nodded obediently and turned to Xue Yang, his eyes full of attachment and understanding for his brother:
"Brother, I'll go back first. You and sister-in-law should have a good rest."

Xue Xing had just stepped into the house and hadn't even stood firmly when a sudden cell phone ring broke the silence of the night.

This sudden sound made him a little dazed for a moment.
After all, his cell phone is usually a treasure that is strictly "guarded" by his mother, and it rarely has the chance to ring so freely.

"Did mother forget to take the phone back?"

Xue Xing muttered to himself, then quickly came back to his senses and picked up his phone to check.
The name jumping on the screen made his eyes light up - "Sister Si Wen".

"Happy New Year's Eve!" He answered the phone with joy and sent his blessings, but he did not expect that the emotion coming from the other end of the phone was completely different.

"Unhappy!" There was a hint of sadness in Si Wen's voice that was hard to conceal, which made Xue Xing's heart tighten suddenly.

He immediately put away his smile and asked nervously and concernedly:

"Sister Si Wen, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy?"

On the other end of the phone, Si Wen's voice swayed gently.

Like the softest whisper in the night, with a hint of imperceptible fragility and loneliness:
"Oh, nothing. It's just that this New Year's Eve is too quiet and I feel a little bored, so I thought of calling you to relieve my boredom. I didn't expect you to actually answer the phone."

Xue Xing felt relieved after hearing this. He smiled softly, his tone full of relief and comfort:

"I see. I'm glad you're alright. If you need someone to talk to, you can always find me. I'll always be here."

Si Wen said happily: "Let's play a game."

Xue Xing readily agreed, with a hint of joking and determination in his tone:
"On such a special night as New Year's Eve, of course I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman, oh no, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a beautiful woman."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Xing couldn't wait to tap his fingertips and quickly woke up the colorful world of King's game on the phone screen.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, his face was reflected with both concentration and excitement.

It was as if the energy of the entire night was concentrated in this moment.

He operated the screen flexibly.

Carefully debug the game settings to ensure every detail is perfect;

At the same time, he extended an invitation to Si Wen on the other end of the phone in a relaxed and cheerful tone:
"Sister Siwen, which hero do you want to play?"

Si Wen was concentrating on the game interface, her fingers jumping quickly on the screen, adjusting her equipment and skills.

The two quickly entered the world of the game, with light and shadow interweaving on the screen.

It’s as if it brings them into another dimension full of challenges and fun.

She, as Luban No.7, with her accurate shooting and quick reaction,

Move flexibly on the battlefield and continuously launch deadly attacks on the enemy.

Xue Xing, on the other hand, transformed himself into Yao and followed her closely, providing her with a solid shield and timely support.

In the game, they cooperated seamlessly, as if they had been partners for many years.

Whenever she was in danger, Xue Xing would always release his skills in time.
Pull her back from the brink of death; and she uses her high burst damage to
Open up paths to victory for the team.

Their tacit understanding is not only reflected in the connection of skills,
It is more about accurately predicting each other's intentions and having a keen insight into the battlefield situation.

As the game progressed, they gradually became the focus of the whole audience.

Teammates looked at them with admiration, while enemies were wary of them.

In the exciting team battle, they worked hand in hand.
Together they resisted the enemy's fierce offensive, and eventually, through victory after victory, they forced the other side into a desperate situation.

The moment the game ended, the word "Victory" popped up on the screen, announcing their victory.

She looked at the results on the screen with a satisfied smile on her face. She turned to look at Xue Xing, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and joy. (End of this chapter)
