What's wrong with me?

The girl was looking around, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, with a slightly frown on her face, as if she had encountered something that troubled her.

Under normal circumstances, seeing someone who might need help, Qi Xia would probably go up and ask what was wrong. But at this moment, Qi Xia felt as if the soles of his feet were rooted and he couldn't move at all. He even had an urge to turn around and run away immediately, because the girl in front of him was so familiar to him. She was the last straw that made Qi Xia break up with his girlfriend. She was his girlfriend's best friend, and the girl who made Qi Xia feel complicated all the time, the girl he liked but didn't like, Xu Zijin.

Fate is really something that is hard to understand. Even in Qi Xia's eyes, his fate with Xu Zijin can only be called a bad fate, but even if it is a bad fate, it is still fate.

I thought I would never see this proud girl again in my life, but on a sunny morning, I unexpectedly met her in a city thousands of miles away from Annan.

When Qi Xia saw Xu Zijin's face clearly, he was so moved that he felt like the blood in his body had frozen for a moment.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not have imagined that he would actually see Xu Zijin, the girl who always picked on him, near his home. When he confirmed again and again that he was not seeing things, the girl in front of him was no different from the Xu Zijin in his memory, except that she was younger and a little more immature. Qi Xia felt surprised and surprised, and of course, a little scared.

Qi Xia knew that before he met his girlfriend, Xu Zijin and Yue Ran were already inseparable best friends. If he met Xu Zijin in Nanshan, then it was very likely that Yue Ran had also come to Nanshan with him.

Thinking about Yue Ran's face, and what kind of expression he would show if he really saw Yue Ran here, Qi Xia wanted to turn around and leave quickly. No matter what purpose Xu Zijin had in coming to Nanshan, no matter what, no matter what, he should not do anything that could be related to Yue Ran.

But Qi Xia's reaction was still a step slow. Perhaps because there was no one else around except Qi Xia, Xu Zijin waved at Qi Xia and walked towards him.

"Excuse me, handsome guy, can I bother you for a moment? I accidentally got lost and I didn't bring my phone with me, so I wanted to ask you for directions."

Xu Zijin's voice was still the same as he remembered, youthful and lively, full of her unique vigor, but Qi Xia, who did not run away, was frightened when he heard her words. He subconsciously thought that Xu Zijin recognized him, but fortunately, the other party did not make any other moves. It seemed that she was just asking for directions from a stranger like him.

"Where are you going?"

Qi Xia turned around and tried to make himself look calmer, but he was so surprised to see Xu Zijin that his voice was still trembling. He just hoped that Yue Ran was not with her now, otherwise he would probably have a heart attack if he saw Yue Ran again.

"Ah... I want to go..." Xu Zijin came over. She came out alone. She wanted to take a walk and relax before the big Buddha at home came to find her for something. But she accidentally got lost in this strange city.

Because she didn't expect to get lost, she didn't bring her cell phone when she came out. She was thinking about going back to the milk tea shop to ask the clerk how to get back. Coincidentally, a boy about her age was walking towards her on the side of the road, so she stopped him without saying a word and wanted to ask him for directions.

But she didn't expect that this boy suddenly turned around and wanted to leave when he saw her. This made her a little confused. Although she was not as beautiful as Yue Ran, she was still a very young and beautiful girl, right? Not to mention, when she saw this boy, she had an impulse to call him and never let him go.

The boy in front of her stopped hesitantly and reluctantly, but when he turned around and let her see his face clearly, Xu Zijin suddenly held his breath.

The boy in front of her was not a question of whether he was good-looking or not. Just looking at him would give people a strange feeling. At first glance, he was just an ordinary boy with a very good-looking appearance, but when she looked at his pair of black and bright eyes, and his thin nose and lips, her gaze seemed to be attracted and could not be moved away.

She couldn't describe the feeling. She just felt that looking at those eyes, she wanted to indulge in them forever. His eyes were flickering, with a bright halo, but they clearly revealed a charm that made people feel ecstatic. He squinted his eyes, and his black feather eyelashes revealed a hint of anger, just like a cosmos that has not yet fully bloomed, hiding the youthfulness and tenderness that make people's hearts beat.

When she came to her senses again, Xu Zijin felt her throat was dry and even hoarse. She pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful. She had always believed that Yue Ran's love was just an illusion brought about by the beauty of the past. Although she had always supported her, she had never really understood her. But at this moment, she actually felt as if she could empathize with Yue Ran, just because of the boy in front of her who she had just met.

"West Lake Garden, I live here now. Brother, do you know how to get there? If possible, can you show me the way? Oh, yes, can you let me add your WeChat? Actually, I came here with my friend during the National Day holiday. We are not familiar with this place, so I wanted to find someone who knows this place to be our guide. Of course, I will not let you go empty-handed. My friend is very rich, and she will definitely give you enough compensation..."

Chapter 152 Destiny

Even if Qi Xia had the courage, she would never have dared to agree to Xu Zijin's proposal, so in the end Qi Xia could only reluctantly send this former enemy, now a stranger, to the gate of West Lake Jingyuan where she was temporarily staying.

Although Xu Zijin kept saying that her friend would reward him, Qi Xia was not stupid. With a little thought, she could figure out who the friend she was talking about was. Although Xu Zijin was popular wherever she went, the only one who could truly be called her friend was Qi Xia's ex-girlfriend, Yue Ran.

The place where Xu Zijin lives is not too far from the residential area where Qi Xia lives, and it is also a well-known "rich area" in the city. The houses for sale there are all gorgeous and exquisite villas.

The security guards in front of the park were well-equipped and looked very professional. Qi Xia stood at the gate of the park and looked inside. He could see a clean little lake and rows of beautiful villas. He couldn't understand how Xu Zijin could have the money to live in such a villa area, but he didn't want to think too much about it and create unnecessary trouble. He just wanted to say hello to her and leave quickly.

Although this sudden reunion was just an unexpected encounter, and Xu Zijin did not have the memories of those things that happened in the "future" like him, and he and she were just complete strangers now, Qi Xia still felt nervous and scared. It was a feeling of powerlessness as if things were out of control. After all, in Qi Xia's memory, Xu Zijin and Yue Ran had never come to Nanshan for tourism, and even if they came to Nanshan, they came with Qi Xia.

"Just send it here. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Oh? Are you leaving now? Are you really not going to consider my suggestion? If not, you can just leave me your WeChat ID."

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave. Xu Zijin seemed to want to keep him. Qi Xia was stunned by her attitude of retaining him. Xu Zijin, who always opposed him and disliked him, actually spoke to him in such an atmosphere. He felt particularly uncomfortable.

But Qi Xia still left. In order to avoid any more trouble and to avoid meeting that proud girl again, he said that he had something urgent to deal with and left without leaving WeChat. Qi Xia left in a hurry...

Xu Zijin, who was still standing in front of the park gate, narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy's back getting farther and farther away, with an intriguing light flowing in the depths of his eyes.

Although she was sure that this was the first time she had seen such a handsome boy, the more she looked at him, at his pupils that were like dewy petals and his eyelashes that fluttered like fans, the more she felt familiar and nostalgic, as well as a faint sense of sadness in her heart.

She didn't understand why she felt this way. It was as if that strange feeling had been hidden in her heart for a long time and was only exposed now.

She had an urge to understand him and wanted to find out why she had such strange feelings for a boy she met for the first time, but when he said he wanted to go back, she did not try too hard to keep him.

Because when this boy, whose name she didn't even know, took her back to where she lived, and looked at the villa where she and Yue Ran were temporarily staying, she suddenly felt a strong sense of resistance. It was as if a voice in her heart kept telling her that she must not let Yue Ran see this boy, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Xu Zijin was not a person who believed in fate. Although she always joked with Yue Ran that it was fate that she met the man she mentioned, she herself did not believe in such superstitious things. However, when she really met this boy whom she met for the first time and had such a strange feeling about him, she really felt that this was fate.

Watching his figure gradually disappear, Xu Zijin's heart also calmed down. That strange feeling was like the breeze blowing through the treetops, as if it had never existed, and made her feel a strong sense of disappointment.

"What a strange boy, but he's so handsome. I don't know if I can meet him again in the future."

Xu Zijin shook her head and murmured, she came back to her senses, put all this behind her for the time being, and slowly walked back to her residence. She had not forgotten that she still had to go to see the school with Yue Ran today.

"Ms. Xu, welcome back. She is waiting for you in the yard. She asked me to let you go to her as soon as I saw you come back."

In the front hall of the villa, a maid was diligently wiping the glass on the cupboard. Seeing Xu Zijin walking in from outside, she spoke to Xu Zijin, who was still a little absent-minded.

Xu Zijin nodded when she heard that, threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can, and then came to the courtyard of the villa.

In the sunny courtyard, there is a huge white flower trellis, covered with purple vine waterfalls. In the bright sunshine, a girl in a white dress is sitting under a parasol, reading a book quietly. Coupled with the girl's gentle temperament, people can't help but be swayed.

Xu Zijin walked over, and her footsteps seemed to have attracted the girl's attention. The girl put down the book in her hand and looked at her with her black pupils that were a little mysterious. While the girl was looking at her, Xu Zijin glanced at the books that the girl had placed at hand, and found that they seemed to be some books related to psychology, such as "Cold Reading", "Stockholm Syndrome", "Pavlov Conditioned Reflex" and so on. Anyway, they were some books that she would not deliberately touch at ordinary times.

"What's wrong, Yue Ran, what do you want to talk to me about? Didn't we agree to go check on the school today?"

The girl looked at her and narrowed her eyes. Then she said, "You don't need to worry about school anymore. I have already chosen a school for both of us. We just need to go there after the National Day holiday."

"Ah? No, so soon? Yue Ran, didn't you say before that you would think about it? You said it would be best if we could go to the same school, but we don't even know which school he is in now, right?"

But after hearing her words, the girl just smiled slightly, her white fingertips lightly stroked the white pages of the book in her hand, and lifted the soft hair by her ear. That beautiful smile was like a pure and flawless angel, and she stood up.

"Of course I already knew where he was, so I made the decision. Money is a very useful tool. As long as I donate some money to them, they will obediently hand over the school's student list to me. After all, I just asked them to help me find someone. It's not an excessive request..."

Chapter 153 Guess

From time to time, a few patients hurriedly walked through the corridor of the hospital, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant that was a bit pungent.

Tang Wanxia was holding a cell phone. She was wearing a gentle and elegant sweater. She looked at the message on her cell phone and walked forward. Then she came to the door of a department. She looked at the house number and made sure that she was not in the wrong place. Then she raised her hand and knocked gently on the door.

"The door is not locked, just come in."

A female voice came from inside the door. Tang Wanxia pushed the door open and walked in. The window in the room was open, so it was bright. There was an office desk and several bookcases full of books in the room. At this time, behind the desk, a woman in a white coat was looking at Tang Wanxia who was walking in with a smile.

"Long time no see, Wanxia."

The woman was wearing a white coat with an identity badge on her chest. Her appearance was not outstanding, but she gave people a very intellectual feeling. It was impossible to tell her specific age from her face, but if you estimate, she should be a little over 30 years old.

"Well, long time no see, Senior Sister Wang."

Tang Wanxia smiled gently, then walked in and sat down on the sofa in the room. The woman in front of her was Tang Wanxia's senior in college, a few years older than Tang Wanxia, ​​named Wang Li. The main reason Tang Wanxia came out today was to find this senior who worked in the hospital and ask her to help her do some tests whose results she was eager to know.

"Yeah, it's been a long time. It's been several years since we graduated. I heard that you opened a dance studio nearby after graduation. How is it going? How is it going? At the beginning, many companies wanted you to go, but you didn't go. When I knew that you finally chose to open a dance studio at home, I felt sorry for you for a long time."

"The situation is okay. Although I can't say I make a lot of money, it's enough to live on." Tang Wanxia pursed her lips and chatted with Wang Li. She became familiar with Wang Li because she helped her in college. Although she hadn't met her in all these years, they kept exchanging information, so they were still good friends.

"Is that so? To be honest, I really feel sorry for you, Wanxia. You didn't take so many good jobs. If you had gone, your income would definitely be much better than what you have now."

Listening to Wang Li's words, Tang Wanxia did not respond, but just smiled gently, with an inexplicable light in the corners of her eyes. She did not expect others to understand her. After all, she did everything for her Xiaoxia. What mattered if the pay of those jobs was high? In order to be able to spend more time with Xiaoxia, she was willing to give up any high pay.

"By the way, how is Xiao Xia? He is still the same as before. Xiao Xia is also a senior this year. How are his grades? Are you confident?"

"Xiao Xia is doing well, his grades are still the same as before, and he should be studying at home now. In fact, the reason I came to see you this time is precisely because of Xiao Xia's matter, you should have known about it."

Seeing Tang Wanxia talking about serious matters, Wang Li's expression also became serious.

One night more than a month ago, she suddenly received a message from her junior schoolmate in college, asking her to help investigate her birth information. She didn't say much at the time, just that there were some things she wanted to find out. She did help and investigated for her, but the result was that she did not find any information about her birth in the hospital that her junior schoolmate mentioned.

At this point, Wang Li understood. It might be that her junior schoolmate accidentally discovered something at home and had some suspicions, so she asked her to investigate. The result of the matter was probably as she had guessed, and it turned out to be a bad result.

Until the night before yesterday, she received another message from Wanxia, ​​telling her that she wanted her help with a paternity test. However, Wanxia's voice sounded a little strange at the time, as if she was suppressing something, so she did not ask much. She just told Wanxia the procedures for the paternity test and what was needed. After listening, she did not say much, but said that she would come to her in two days to discuss these things with her face to face.

"I think I understand everything. Wanxia, ​​you suspect that you are not your biological child. I understand, but if you want to do a blood relationship test, you will need some tissue samples from your relatives, your parents, or your sister. Give them to me, and I will probably be able to get the results in half a month."

She answered cautiously, but who would have thought that after hearing her words, this girl who was the undisputed campus belle in their college days just shook her head slightly. She looked at her, her slightly narrowed eyes carrying a somewhat enchanting and inexplicable light, the desire and urgency in them were like spreading vines, constantly taking root and sprouting.

She said, "Senior, can you provide Xiao Xia's sample for kinship testing?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and looking at the inexplicable halo in Tang Wanxia's eyes, she subconsciously frowned.

"Of course you can, but that result is not very useful. It only proves that you and Xiao Xia have no blood relationship, but it doesn't mean..."

"That's enough." Before Wang Li finished her words, the woman in front of her laughed. She had a bright and brilliant smile on her face, like a peony that suddenly bloomed, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Although I have known this schoolmate for so many years, this is the first time I see her smile so beautifully. Wang Li felt her throat a little dry.

When she heard her words at this moment, and thought of Wanxia's unconditional doting on her nephew, and her expression as if her long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, she suddenly had some unorthodox speculations in her mind. Why did Wanxia love Qixia so much, and why did she suddenly ask her to help with the blood relationship test? Could it be...

"Wanxia, ​​could it be that you..."

"Senior, there are some things you don't have to say out loud even if you know them. Just keep them in your heart. I don't expect you to understand me, so I just hope you won't get in my way."

"Since Senior Sister said it's okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'll give you the sample you mentioned later. I'll be waiting for your good news. I'll treat you to a meal later. By the way, if Senior Sister doesn't need me for anything else, I'll go back first. If I'm out for too long, I'm afraid Xiao Xia will be waiting anxiously at home alone. I don't know if Xiao Xia had a good lunch..."

Chapter 154 Surprise

"Brother Xia, goodbye~"

"Well, goodbye. You must practice and use the things I taught you today, Xiaowan. If there is anything you don't know, just come and ask me. I'll be leaving now."

Qi Xia waved to the girl in front of him who was smiling at him. Qi Xia had promised Grandma Zhang that he would tutor her granddaughter in the afternoon. After eating the lunch prepared by his aunt, he arrived at Grandma Zhang's house on time in the afternoon.

Unlike the time when he was ostracized by others in his memory, Qi Xia is still very popular in the community. He declined Grandma Zhang's invitation to stay for dinner. After helping his neighbor's granddaughter, Sun Wan, who was six years younger than him, with homework for an afternoon, Qi Xia felt a little tired, so he said goodbye to Grandma Zhang and Sun Wan.

Looking at the brilliant smile of the girl in front of him, Qi Xia curled his lips. He had helped many children in the community with their lessons because he never refused others. Among these children, Grandma Zhang's granddaughter Sun Wan was the one Qi Xia remembered most vividly and was also his favorite one.

Sun Wan is a very smart girl. Although she is a little naughty, her academic performance is always erratic. However, whenever Qi Xia is asked by Grandma Zhang to give her extra lessons, she is always able to learn what Qi Xia teaches her very quickly.

Sun Wan is six years younger than Qi Xia and has just entered the first grade of junior high school. In Qi Xia's memory, not long after he graduated from university, Sun Wan was admitted to Annan University just like him. She majored in finance, so after graduation she went to work at the Annan Stock Exchange.

At that time, Qi Xia had the honor of meeting Sun Wan when she grew up. Like most girls Qi Xia knew, Sun Wan had a successful career and had become an outstanding girl that Qi Xia couldn't help but admire.

After growing up, Sun Wan always kept shoulder-length hair. When Qi Xia saw her, she still called him Brother Qi Xia affectionately as Qi Xia remembered. However, her duck egg-like face, long eyelashes, and two crystal clear eyes like crystal grapes no longer had the mischievous spirit she had now. When Qi Xia saw her, he thought he had recognized the wrong person for a moment.

However, these were not what made Qi Xia remember the girl next door so deeply. After all, when he first met Sun Wan in Annan, not long after, she left Annan due to work arrangements, which made Qi Xia lose the only person who could talk to Qi Xia besides Yue Ran at that time.

What really made Qi Xia remember her vividly was that Sun Wan actually found him on the night after Qi Xia finished the college entrance examination. When he was found by this sister who was six years younger than him, Qi Xia was curious about what she wanted to say to him. But before he could even open his mouth to ask, Sun Wan, whose face was already flushed, confessed her love to the former Qi Xia.

Now Qi Xia can't remember how he felt at that time, but he was extremely surprised. After all, he was confessed by a little girl who was only in the first grade of junior high school, and the other party was the sister of the neighbor. What's more, the other party looked serious and said that she liked him.

Qi Xia did not reject Sun Wan's confession at that time, but he did not accept it either. After all, Sun Wan was still in the first grade of junior high school like she is now. The age of 12 is when one would have a vague affection for the opposite sex, but because she was too young, she could not truly recognize her own heart.

If Sun Wan was a little older, or if she was not six years younger than Qi Xia, Qi Xia might have responded to her seriously. But Sun Wan was still young at the time, so Qi Xia's approach was naturally the same as most people's. He just told Sun Wan to wait until she graduated from high school. If she had not given up, he would accept her then.

Qi Xia still remembered that Sun Wan just nodded at that time, and looked at him with a stubborn look that surprised Qi Xia, and then left without saying a word. After that, there was no follow-up to this matter. Perhaps Sun Wan finally realized that he and she were not suitable after growing up, but in any case, there was no follow-up until many years later, when Qi Xia met her again...

In the future, Sun Wan will be an excellent and beautiful woman, but now, Sun Wan is just a pretty little girl. After saying goodbye to this lovely girl next door, Qi Xia returned to his and his aunt's home alone.

It was almost evening, but my aunt still hadn't come back. Looking at the empty living room, I felt that I couldn't calm down until I saw that figure who was always so beautiful and generous. Qi Xia sat in the living room and turned on the TV to watch it for a while.

Looking at the flashing screen in front of him, Qi Xia couldn't help but think of what happened when he met Xu Zijin in the morning. Although he learned from Xu Zijin that the other party was just taking advantage of the holiday to travel to Nanshan, which made Qi Xia feel slightly relieved, but thinking that she and Yue Ran were not far away from him in this city where he had lived for so many years, Qi Xia couldn't help but become a little suspicious.

His rebirth brought about many butterfly effects, so many things happened that had never happened in the future he knew, just like now, Yue Ran came to Nanshan. Even though he was still a stranger to Yue Ran, under the guidance of the unpredictable fate, he could not guarantee that he would never see Yue Ran again and would stay away from Yue Ran.

When he thought that his girlfriend who once loved him so much was not far away from him, Qi Xia felt even more complicated. He wanted to take a look at Yue Ran now and see what she looked like, but he was afraid to get close to her and thus get involved with her in a way that shouldn't have happened.

Qi Xia sat on the sofa for a while. He didn't remember anything that was shown on TV. Instead, he lay on his back on the sofa, covering his face with his arms and became dazed. Although his aunt had only been gone for half a day, in just such a short time, Qi Xia felt that he missed her a little. Only when his aunt was around would Qi Xia not think so much and would not be as suspicious as he is now because of Yue Ran's affairs.

He patted his cheeks and sat up, thinking that his aunt might be back later, so he might as well eat something for dinner. Just as he was about to get up, he heard a noise at the entrance. Thinking it was his aunt who came back, he hurried to open the door for her. However, when he opened the door, he did not see his aunt. Instead, it was his childhood sweetheart standing in front of the door with a big smile on her face, looking at him tenderly.

"Ding ding dong! Big surprise! Hehe, Xiaoxia, I'm back. You haven't seen me these past two days. Did you miss me?"

Chapter 155 Agreement

When Qi Xia opened the door, he saw his childhood sweetheart standing at the door with a bright smile on her face.

When she saw Qi Xia opening the door for her, it was like a puppy that had waited a whole day for its owner to finally come home. A pink and tender peach blossom immediately blossomed on her pretty cheek, and there was a captivating little charm in her sparkling eyes.

"Xiao Xia, did you miss me? Hehe~"

The girl leaned forward with her beautiful figure, and when she saw Qi Xia, her delicate skin that looked like petals immediately turned red as if water was about to ooze out of it. Her clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist of excitement and joy, making her look particularly cute and a little seductive.

Seeing his childhood sweetheart's rosy face, Qi Xia was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xinyao would come back to see him so late. Seeing that his childhood sweetheart was still wearing loose trousers for climbing and hadn't had time to change into her favorite little white dress, it seemed that she had probably just arrived home not long ago.

"Xinyao? When did you come back?"

"Hehe, I just got home, and as soon as I got off the car, I ran non-stop to see Xiao Xia. Without further ado, ding ding ding ding! Hehe, I brought you a gift, Xiao Xia, open it and have a look~"

The girl blinked her eyes, and her lovely brows revealed the tender affection unique to a girl in love. She looked at Qi Xia's cheek, her long eyelashes fluttering. As she spoke, she suddenly took out a gift box wrapped in a ribbon from behind her back and handed it to Qi Xia with a smile.

Qi Xia looked at the girl and met her sparkling eyes. Seeing her expectant gaze, some indescribable emotions arose in his heart. Qi Xia took the box from his childhood sweetheart and opened it.

The gift was beautifully wrapped and it looked like it took a lot of effort to make. After opening the box, Qi Xia discovered that it contained a pair of Sennheiser headphones.

"Hey, didn't Xiaoxia say on social media that the headphones you were using were about to break, so I bought you new ones. I don't know much about headphones, so I just bought you a random pair based on recommendations online. If you don't like them, you can return them for a replacement."
