She is lonely

Chapter 647 A Red Bean, Wants to Single Out This Universe 328
But unfortunately, just as Mai Lian and Xu Jia came out of the room and went downstairs, they bumped into Zhou Taifu and... Xun Siyuan who were laughing and talking downstairs in the inn.

Mai Lian was stunned.

She thought she would meet Xun Siyuan, but she didn't expect to meet him so soon.

Since the night of New Year's Eve, Mai Lian hadn't seen Xun Siyuan for several days, and seeing Xun Siyuan now, his heart skipped a beat.

The person stood still for a while, until Xu Jia also saw the Taifu standing there, Xu Jia didn't think much, and pulled Mai Lian over to say hello to the two Taifus.

Taifu Zhou saw that two of his students were coming, and the posture of the two clearly meant to go out, so Taifu Zhou asked casually: "It's getting late, where are you going?"

Before Mai Lian could say anything, Xu Jia replied, "The student wants to go shopping."

Zhou Taifu frowned, but he didn't refuse, he just ordered, "Come back early, we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Xu Jia nodded in response, "The students know."

After getting permission, Xu Jia hurriedly dragged Mai Lian away.

But Mai Lian was in a daze for a long time, and finally regained his composure after leaving the inn.

"Jiajia..." Mai Lian followed Xu Jia for a while, and couldn't help tugging at Xu Jia's sleeve and asked, "Just now... did Taifu Xun say anything?"

"No, weren't you there just now?"

"I... I was in a daze." Mai Lian lowered his head and touched his nose, talking absent-mindedly, "Jiajia, why don't we go back first?"

Xu Jia glanced at her in surprise, "Didn't you say it well just now?"

Mai Lian realized that she was a little timid. She was afraid that Xu Jia would see the clue again, so she clumsily smiled and said to Xu Jia, "You're just kidding, let's go."

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows, and also laughed: "The little princess has learned how to joke."

"Stop it."

Xu Jia felt a little embarrassed seeing Mai Lian, so naturally she stopped teasing her.

They didn't go out for too long, just like Xu Jia said, they bought some gadgets from their daughter's family in the market, and found a small stall to eat something, about an hour later, They went back.

On the way back, they were chatting and laughing, but when they returned to the inn, Mai Lian did not expect to meet Xun Siyuan again downstairs in the inn.

The inn was quite deserted at night, the dining table was lit with lamps, and Xun Siyuan was sitting in front of the table with a calm expression, drinking tea unhurriedly.

Mai Lian was dumbfounded watching this scene, and even wondered if Xun Siyuan had been sitting here without moving since she left?
When she was surrounded, Xu Jia felt self-conscious, and pulled Mai Lian over to say hello, planning to go upstairs with Mai Lian to the room.

But when the two were about to turn around and leave, Xun Siyuan suddenly called out to Mai Lian calmly: "Mailian, you stay here."

Mai Lian thought that Xun Siyuan would avoid the relationship between them no matter what. After all, when he was in Taiyuan Academy, Xun Siyuan didn't like others to know that he had a family relationship with Mai Lian's father. But since Xun Siyuan explained in front of Xu Jia and the others years ago that Mai Lian was still his nominal niece, Mai Lian felt inexplicably embarrassed.
