Finally, he took a new pair of chopsticks and started feeding himself.

Xiaoyu didn't notice anything unusual and continued to eat her meal. Jiang Chuchu, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied. She tilted her head and thought blankly for a moment, then left the table with her small bowl in her hand.

Then she crawled into Xia Xiu's arms. Jiang Chuchu was so small that Xia Xiu could hold her in his arms when he put his legs together. She opened her mouth like a hungry baby bird, waiting for him to feed her.

Xia Xiu had no choice but to feed the food into the little cutie in his arms mouthful by mouthful from time to time, using his own chopsticks.

It doesn't affect anything anyway, so just feed it. The child doesn't make any strange noises, so the child is very cooperative with him in this regard.

Hearing the sound, Xiaoyu looked up and looked around blankly, but since she couldn't see anything, she didn't see anything, so she lowered her head blankly again.

Jiang Chuchu's mind was blank, looking at the girl who was eating with her head down, she thought of another bad idea, picked up some food with her chopsticks and put it to the girl's mouth. Feeling more food coming to her mouth, she opened her mouth obediently, waiting for Xia Xiu to feed her. Jiang Chuchu put the food into her mouth, and then opened her mouth to eat a piece of beef that Xia Xiu fed her.

Smacking her lips, Baisi's calves were shaking on the table and floor. She seemed to be in a very good mood, and her expression when she looked at Xiaoyu seemed somewhat smug.

Xia Xiu tapped Jiang Chuchu's little head again, warning her not to go too far, but he did not stop her behavior. It was normal for little girls to fight and play.

After finishing the dinner happily, Xiaoyu seemed to have become much more sensible. She didn't make a fuss the whole time and her expression was soft, like an unguarded kitten.

After dinner, Xia Xiu put Xiaoyu in her room to rest. Although he knew it would be boring for Xiaoyu to sleep at this time, he wondered if there were any extra activities for her to do. She couldn't watch TV, play on the computer, and her cell phone had become a piece of scrap metal.

Before leaving, the girl pitifully grabbed Xia Xiu's little hand and asked softly.

"Can we sleep together tonight?"

Xia Xiu thought about it and finally agreed. Ignoring Jiang Chuchu's resentful and creepy look, he lay on the same bed with Xiaoyu.

Finally, Xiaoyu fell asleep sweetly in Xia Xiu's arms.

Only then did Xia Xiu free his hands to open his phone. Looking at the full series of messages on it, he sighed with a headache.

Chapter 231: Empathy

QQ is filled with a lot of messages, including from the teacher, Lu Ziang, and Su Yuhan. As for Jiang Yuyan, she seemed to have disappeared in recent times.

The first one to be affected was the message from Fan Yanke, who kept sending a "Are you there?" message every five minutes, which made Xia Xiu feel quite stressed. That was why he did not reply to her message immediately.

Keep the principle of delaying as long as possible, but whoever needs to face it will have to face it eventually. Escaping can make you happy, but it cannot solve the problem.

Xia Xiu first replied to the messages of others one by one. They were all simple replies out of courtesy. After knowing that Xia Xiu was fine, they felt relieved. Only Su Yuhan sent a few more teasing words, as if she knew something from the news.

After fooling around, he then clicked on Fan Yanke's chat box and typed a few lines, but deleted them after thinking about it, thinking about what words would be more appropriate.

But the words "The other party is typing..." above the chat box exposed Xia Xiu's current state.

Then the chat box started bombarding with messages. Xia Xiu touched his forehead awkwardly, feeling that something was familiar.

Then a video call came in, and Xia Xiu hung up without thinking. He had already turned his phone to silent mode, and if he spoke, it would wake up Xiaoyu who was already sleeping.

Xia Xiu slightly changed his posture and pulled out his hand that had been pressed to the point of numbness. But even after changing his posture, Xiaoyu's soft body still pressed down on him. The bouncy and soft touch made Xia Xiu feel a little uncomfortable. His hand holding the phone was shaking a little, and his heart was a little weak.

"Actually, something happened at home recently. My brother Zixuan died in an accident, and I was also injured these few days. I went to the mountains to eat Zixuan's feast. You know, there is no signal in the mountains."

I just hope this silly girl doesn’t watch the news recently, otherwise the excuses he made up will be exposed in an instant.

However, Xia Xiu has not yet told Xiaoyu that Brother Zixuan is dead. Even the body is still in the hospital morgue and has not been taken away. Xia Xiu plans to keep it secret for a while and tell others that Brother Zixuan is in jail again. The only thing he can do is not get to eat at the other party's table.

"Is that so? Then, Xia Xiu, are you okay? Are you seriously injured? Are you missing any limbs?"

Xia Xiu curled his lips speechlessly. Why did it seem like she would be happy if he became disabled? Wouldn't it be her who would support him after he became disabled?

In the real world, what are the prerequisites for the so-called words in novels about supporting a child for life after being disabled? It is that one can earn enough money to support two people.

Can Fan Yanke make money with her silly and naive personality? It's good enough that she doesn't get cheated and counts money. Maybe when she grows up, she will have to pay the company first before she goes to work.

"It's okay. I can still jump around. It just hurts a little to walk. I can't run around."

"That's it..."

There was no further news for a long time after the ellipsis. Xia Xiu stared at his phone in a daze, while the girl on the other side stared blankly at the dark wall.

"It's okay... He must have encountered something serious that's why he ignored me. It's okay... It's not that I hate myself..."

She murmured to herself. The room was in ruins, as if it had just experienced a turmoil or a war. Even the pictures on the wall had lost their stickiness and fell weakly to the ground.

"He may be in great pain right now, lying on an empty bed, the miserable moonlight makes him feel lonely, and the injury on his leg is also irritating him so much that he can't sleep late at night. Well... I have to learn to be tolerant of others... A child who can think from others' perspective is a good child."

She thought so, then picked up her cell phone, her whole body bathed in the dim light, like a lifeless puppet.

"How have you been these past two days? Have you listened to me and studied hard?"

Xia Xiu rarely took the initiative to start a conversation.

"I studied ≥﹏≤, and I studied every day. I didn't behave like a bad student like escaping to the rockery to read comics or novels."

Xia Xiu held his chin up. It seemed that she had been like this for the past few days. Sure enough, she would not study hard if he did not urge her. But the problem was that he had to take a leave of absence to accompany Xiaoyu in the next few weeks, so he would definitely not be able to go to school. In this case, wouldn't this silly girl fly to the sky? You know, in a month or two, there will be the liberal arts and science class division test, which is related to the life of high school for more than two years.

Xia Xiu was mainly worried because they couldn't be assigned to the same class.

He hugged Xiaoyu's soft body and changed his position. Xiaoyu's restless legs always liked to wrap around his waist. From time to time, she liked to do some strange movements, and her sleeping posture was not very stable.

Fortunately, Xia Xiu was experienced and used to Xiaoyu's sleeping position.

"You want to drop out of school?!"

After telling Fan Yanke about this decision, she seemed very surprised and kept sending out several exclamation marks, seeming very excited.

"Yes, I have to take a break from school because I have to take care of Xiaoyu. But even if I take a break from school, you can't be lazy and you have to study hard!"

"Then I'll drop out of school with you!"

Xia Xiu frowned. Is it possible to take a leave of absence from school and still take a leave of absence together?

"Can't!"

"Why? You can take a leave of absence from school and play at home every day, so why can't I?"

"I can study at home, can you?"

"Yes, yes, I love learning the most (?>?

The girl said this in a coquettish tone, but Xia Xiu didn't believe it at all.

"No means no, just study hard, I'll be back in class in a few weeks."

"But studying in school is not as effective as you teaching me. Why don't you just come and teach me? You're too bored to stay at home anyway, hehe (?﹃?)"

"If I were so capable, wouldn't I have been a teacher long ago? Why would I come here to study?"

"It's not impossible. Hello, Teacher Xia (?▽?)"

Xia Xiu was impressed by the girl's shamelessness. It seemed that the silly girl had become more and more shameless recently. This was not a good development.

"Anyway, I don't care. I'll skip class tomorrow and come to your house to play. This isn't a discussion, it's a notification!"

Later, a series of smooth operations including blocking him, do not disturb him with messages, and exiting the background unilaterally announced the end of the chat with him.

Xia Xiu looked at the gray portrait, stared blankly in the darkness for a while, and finally closed his eyes.

Late at night, it slowly falls.

Chapter 232 Heartache

Xia Xiu had a sound sleep. Xiaoyu seemed to be more comfortable to hug than Chuchu, after all, because of its size.

In the past, before the falling out, Xia Xiu could only carefully maintain a stiff posture and stay still to avoid noticing anything unusual, so he naturally didn't sleep very well.

Of course, there is no such worry nowadays.

He was awake with his eyes open, looking at the slightly pale sky outside the window in a daze. It seemed to be getting late. Those who should go to school or work seemed to have already left. Only his family was still asleep. Xia Xiu had just woken up, but Xiaoyu showed no sign of waking up. She turned over in his arms, changed her posture and continued to sleep sweetly, with a slight smile on her lips, as if she had a good dream.

A day's plan begins in the morning, but Xia Xiu and his companions seemed a little lazy.

Xia Xiu gently pulled his body out of the warm quilt. The girl, who had lost her guarantee, subconsciously grumbled in dissatisfaction, but still did not wake up.

When she opened the door, she found Jiang Chuchu sleeping on the sofa, with the blanket half on the ground, curled up and looking very pitiful. After all, the look in her eyes last night was a little resentful, like a loli who saw her husband cheating but dared not say anything.

He tapped the head of Jiang Chuchu who was still dozing on the sofa. He remembered clearly what happened last night. The child clearly slept in his room at night. This morning, she quietly ran to the sofa and put on a pitiful look. Everyone knew her purpose.

The girl, whose little trick was discovered, half-covered herself with a blanket. She was a little afraid of Xia Xiu's punishment, so she only dared to show half of her eyes to secretly look at his expression. When she noticed that Xia Xiu didn't seem to mind, she became complacent again and raised her little hand as if wanting a hug.

Xia Xiu sighed helplessly. To be honest, she was indeed adorable when she acted like a spoiled child. He seemed to have no reason to refuse. He held her small body with both hands and helped her get up from her lying position to sitting.

"Put on your socks. The weather is starting to get cooler. Don't catch a cold."

Jiang Chuchu nodded and threw the socks into his hands, her eyes shining, as if she was expecting him to put them on her.

"You are already adults... this won't happen again."

Xia Xiu tapped her head, which felt very good, and then squatted down. It was a pair of white pantyhose. The white silk color seemed to match Jiang Chuchu's small and thin legs. He grabbed her little feet and put the pantyhose on them little by little.

The girl's calves were very smooth, and it didn't take much effort to slide up, and then Xia Xiu's hand reached into her skirt.

Don't get me wrong, Xia Xiu is not a pervert who wants to take advantage of others. Pantyhose are like this, they are worn all the way through. After fiddling with the little skirt for a few times, Xia Xiu's expression did not change, but Jiang Chuchu's face turned a little red, as if even she herself felt that such an action was a bit bold.

"Come on, lift your butt."

The girl nodded lightly, stood up obediently, and put on her socks successfully. Then the shy girl ran away with a red face.

Looking at Jiang Chuchu running away, Xia Xiu curled up his lips, waiting to see if the child would joke around in the future.

Then I got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Although it was already ten o'clock in the morning, I still had to eat something for breakfast, otherwise I would get stomach problems.

He glanced at his phone. At five in the morning, Fan Yanke sent him a message saying she was coming to see him, but there has been no news since then. Could it be that she has a change of heart and decided to study harder?

Anyway, he didn't hear any knock on the door, so there was no way he could get the news. Besides, he knew that the girl had the key, so he couldn't just wait outside like an idiot, right?

Xia Xiu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that with that silly girl's personality, could she really do that?

So Xia Xiu put down the work in his hands and walked towards the entrance. When he opened the door, he did not see a pair of eyes staring at the crack of the door like in horror movies, and he did not find any strange figure at a glance.

I walked out of the room and came to the gate of the yard. I saw a girl in a white dress sitting on a pillar by the road. She was holding a mobile phone with her head down, and I didn't know what she was doing.

Xia Xiu was very familiar with that figure, so he opened his phone and found the message interface of Fan Yanke.

"Didn't you say you were coming to my house? Or did you go to school honestly?"

"No, I was just planning to skip class and come to your house to play. I'll be there soon≥﹏≤"

Almost instantly.

Xia Xiu looked at the figure sitting on the stone pier with a complicated expression.

He sighed and did not take the initiative to expose the other party. Instead, he took a small path and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.

I'm too lazy to make breakfast, so I'll just make lunch... I don't know what this silly girl Fan Yanke likes to eat?

The girl sitting on the stone pier seemed to turn her head to look in the direction where Xia Xiu left, then continued to lower her head, looking lonely and silent.

Xia Xiu casually bought some common dishes, then returned the same way he came. At the intersection, he "coincidentally" bumped into the girl sitting on a stone pier.

"Hey, Fan Yanke, why are you staying here?"

Seeing Xia Xiu, the girl skipped over to him.

"I just skipped class and came to your door. I knocked on the door but no one opened it, so I can only wait here."

Xia Xiu knocked the girl on the head.

"Skipping classes again! Those who skip classes every day are not good students."

The tiredness in the corners of the girl's eyes made him feel a little distressed. It's not like he didn't know you had the key, so why did you have to stay outside in the wind for so long? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold...

Xia Xiu grumbled but didn't say any words of concern. He continued to play dumb and said that when it came to caring for people, he had a different way of doing things than most people.

"Don't just stand there, go in quickly."

He casually put his coat on the girl. The wind outside was very strange tonight, which was the unique weather in this small town. The girl was not wearing a school uniform, but a very eye-catching and cute white skirt. She was still eye-catching among the crowd. It was just that Xia Xiu was not used to this white color.

"Okay, okay. I'm determined to stay at your house for lunch today."

Looking at the handbag which was mostly filled with her favorite foods, the excitement in her heart became even greater, and the girl herself began to jump around, wandering around the world like a dancing elf.

But the faint smell of perfume on her body made Xia Xiu's eyes dim slightly. Normally, this girl doesn't wear perfume.

Xia Xiu opened the door and welcomed the girl in. Xiu the dog, who was wagging his tail at the door, lowered his head and rubbed the girl's calf, feeling happy that a normal person finally came into the house.
