What's wrong with me?

Qi Xia saw a bench not far away for customers to rest while waiting, so he walked over. A few shelves opposite, a salesgirl was bringing two customers to the underwear counter. Qi Xia wanted to take a break, but when he heard the voices coming from the other side, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Yueran, what style of underwear do you want to buy? How about trying a sexier style? I always think that the style of underwear you wear is too ordinary, and it doesn't match your figure at all!"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. That kind of underwear doesn't suit me. I still prefer a lighter style of clothing."

The voices of the girls' conversation reached Qi Xia's ears through several shelves, but that extremely familiar voice made Qi Xia's originally red cheeks suddenly turn pale. He had always held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xu Zijin might not have come to Nanshan with Yue Ran, but with some other friend, but now everything he saw clearly shattered all his hope.

The elegant voice of his ex-girlfriend was still the same as before, bland yet with a hint of elegance and tranquility, but the tone was a little more immature than the voice he was very familiar with.

Qi Xia didn't dare to look up, or even move the slightest, for he was afraid that his movements would attract the attention of Yue Ran who was not far away, and that he would accidentally enter the life of this outstanding, proud girl who deserved all the good things. But he really wanted to raise his head and look at her, to look at the Yue Ran who was as young and immature as himself before she entered university and met him.

The butterfly's wings were flapping, and the resulting reaction made Qi Xia unable to see his way forward clearly. Just as he could not have predicted that Yue Ran would meet Xu Zijin and come to Nanshan together, he could not have guessed that he would coincidentally run into this girl who had left such a significant mark in his life when he went out with his aunt today.

He still couldn't help but look up, and through the gap between several layers of shelves, he glanced at the two girls not far away.

Qi Xia's heartbeat was accelerating rapidly. Although the current Yue Ran was not the Yue Ran in his memory and there was no way she could recognize him, the damn "heartless man", Qi Xia still felt guilty instinctively and felt that he was sorry for this proud and beautiful girl, even though he was just a stranger to her whom she had never even met.

The girl's face was just as Qi Xia had imagined, like a docile carnation quietly spreading the fragrance and beauty that belonged only to her in the wind. Her slender shoulders and collarbones were exceptionally delicate, and her cold face vaguely revealed a gentleness and charm that only Qi Xia could see. Although she was not the Yue Ran he was familiar with, the Yue Ran now was already the shadow of the Yue Ran he was familiar with in his memory.

"Well, I can't persuade you anyway. School starts tomorrow, so you have to go shopping today. Hey, Yueran, what do you think of this set of underwear? It has lotus leaf lace and so many embellishments. I think it suits your style, Yueran."

"Hmm... it feels a bit too fancy. Let's pick a few more ordinary ones. Underwear is something you can't wear to anyone except your loved one, so it's better to choose something simple and comfortable. I don't think there's a style I like here. Let's go to the shelf over there and take a look."

Qi Xia was stunned for a moment because of the girl, but he didn't realize that while he was stunned, the girl seemed to have failed to find the clothes she liked and was going to look around, so she walked towards where Qi Xia was. When Qi Xia realized this, the girl was almost walking to his side. Obviously, he had lost the best chance to hide.

Chapter 224 Hiding

How could he forget the years of getting along and accompanying each other in just a few days? The girl in front of him had rosy lips that glowed with a crystal light. Under the caress of the breeze, she had a charming luster that fascinated Qi Xia so much that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Qi Xia couldn't help but think of the first time he kissed Yue Ran. He held Yue Ran, who was curled up in his arms, and he was just stupidly letting the soft lips in front of him push the gap between his teeth apart, and he allowed himself to be kissed by his girlfriend.

That was one of Qi Xia's most precious and unforgettable memories. The kiss between a man and a woman in love is often more attractive than a simple union. This is also true for Qi Xia. Physical contact must start with the lips. A passionate and lingering kiss is the true budding of feelings.

"Yue Ran..."

Looking at the beautiful girl in a silk dress not far in front of him, Qi Xia couldn't help but call out the name of his once beloved girlfriend from his throat.

The long skirt covered the girl's jade-like and soft legs, just like she used to show her beauty to him alone. Under the skirt, only a small section of her slender and fair calves were revealed, which were straight and slender, and aroused people's reverie.

She stood straight, her slender waist was pinched by the silk ribbon around her waist, so thin that it could not be grasped with one hand. Even though Qi Xia had not seen that beautiful figure for only a few days, it still touched his heart and made his thoughts sway along with it.

Qi Xia frowned, he thought he had changed a lot, he changed his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, made his relationship with his aunt closer. He thought he could see things more clearly and let go, but when that familiar figure came into his eyes again, he stupidly realized that there were some things he was destined to never forget.

The once passionate feelings and suppressed thoughts were just seeds dormant in the heart. When watered by the spring water, they were destined to sprout and become a towering tree, standing firm in the wind and rain.

The girl was talking to her friends, but looking at that peaceful face, Qi Xia was a little dazed. He couldn't help but think again of the day when he proposed to Yue Ran under the banyan tree. When they were tired from playing and were about to go back to the tent to rest together, Yue Ran suddenly told him that she wanted to help him have a baby.

Yue Ran was very serious when she said those words at that time, and that quiet and gentle expression was similar to the one now, but the difference was that Yue Ran's eyes, which always contained a charming glimmer, were full of determination and seriousness, with some peaceful tenderness, and with longing and expectation for the future.

"Underwear here seems to be a bit more expensive. Hey, Yue Ran, what do you think of this set? It's as comfortable and convenient as you said, right?"

"I want to buy ordinary underwear, not sports bras. Please be serious and stop making trouble for me."

The girl did not notice that she was being spied on by someone who was still a "stranger" to her at this moment. She was still choosing clothes with Xu Zijin. However, as she spoke, she moved a little closer to where the person was.

Because he saw his "former" girlfriend, Qi Xia had too many emotions and thoughts, which made him unable to help but stand there in a daze for a while. However, it was only such a short moment of daze. He was not far away from the girl, and the girl who was choosing clothes was still moving towards him. When Qi Xia came to his senses, the distance between him and Yue Ran had been shortened to a very dangerous distance.

The shelves full of clothes could cover Qi Xia's body, but the shelves were not high, so Qi Xia had to bend over and crouch down to let the shelves cover his figure. But as Yue Ran approached, this became precarious. Qi Xia did not want Yue Ran to find him, even if she did not recognize him now, he did not want to enter her sight again, for fear that his appearance would redirect Yue Ran's fate to the same fate as in the future.

Qi Xia was startled. Seeing that she was only a few shelves away from him, Qi Xia panicked. He couldn't help but want to slap himself. He had so many opportunities to hide. At worst, he could ignore his aunt and sneak out of the clothing store. But now he was so close to Yue Ran, he was afraid that if he made the slightest violent movement, the girl opposite would see it clearly.

He glanced behind him. There was a long corridor behind him without any cover, so he obviously couldn't hide there. If he went forward and to the right, he would take a fork in the road and would be easily discovered by Yue Ran. He found that there was really no particularly good place for him to hide.

"I think those beige sets over there are nice. I wonder if they have the right size. Let's go over and take a look."

The girl in front of him pointed to a set of beige underwear, but when Qi Xia looked at the place his ex-girlfriend pointed, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. The direction the girl pointed was not far in front of Qi Xia. As long as the girl came over, she would definitely see Qi Xia here.

Yue Ran should be wearing a pair of hard-soled sandals today. Qi Xia could hear the rhythmic and beautiful footsteps coming towards him little by little. Every time the light footsteps sounded, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Qi Xia's heart, making Qi Xia's knees a little weak.

Obviously, he could have been less nervous and just pretended to be a stranger who came to the clothing store with his aunt to buy clothes and waited calmly for Yue Ran to pass by him. But he just couldn't do it. Somewhere in his heart he was afraid, as if something bad would happen after he saw Yue Ran. Qi Xia's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of his throat.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Yue Ran was getting closer and closer, but Qi Xia felt like a death row inmate, helplessly waiting for the moment of trial.

Qi Xia's heart was clenched. He exhaled, as if he thought of something. He suddenly looked at the fitting room where his aunt was a few steps behind him. Yue Ran came to his side immediately. He thought quickly and suddenly came up with a way to hide.

Although this method might cause the relationship between him and his aunt to slide further in an unpredictable direction, it was obvious that Qi Xia could not care less now.

Compared to reuniting with Yue Ran, being scolded and blamed by his aunt was obviously more acceptable to him.

He turned around and opened the door of the fitting room. He saw his aunt bending over to take off her stockings. She was surprised by his sudden appearance and her face was slightly red. Just before Yue Ran came to her, she slammed the door of the fitting room and hid inside.

Chapter 225 Discovery

The girl looked at the dazzling array of clothes in the store and absentmindedly chose underwear for herself. Ever since Liu Hong brought her the news from Annan that he had recovered his memories of his past life just like her, the girl has been in a bad mood.

There were many things written in the letter that he buried in the place where he and she were bound together. It contained his love for her and his longing for himself and his future. She was very happy when she saw these things because she could clearly feel from the meaning between the lines how much he loved her.

However, when she saw him say later how guilty he was, how he blamed himself, how he had delayed her and how he was not worthy of her being with him, and how he hoped that in this life even if she had not met him, she could always be such a proud and outstanding girl, the girl felt as if her heart was twisted hard and she felt like she could hardly breathe.

How can a world without you be a paradise for me? Without you by my side, I live every day like a walking corpse. Without you accompanying me to see the scenery of the future, how can your wife, your Yue Ran, be happy and proud?

These past few days, except when Xu Zijin insisted on dragging her out, she had been reflecting on herself at home. She used to think that there was nothing wrong with doing this. She wanted to get everything from him, to have only her in his world and to have him watch over her. What was wrong with that?

But no matter what, she did too much. She made him feel pain, and when she realized his pain, it was too late.

When the pain came back upon herself, she realized it all. Her love for him had made her mad and paranoid. In the end, she couldn't even tell the difference between love and desire. In the past two days, she dreamed of him committing suicide with her every day. His expression and demeanor made her feel as if she had lost her direction in the storm, and could only follow the wind and rain in confusion and numbness.

She knew she had done something wrong, but she did not regret it. No matter the pain or sadness, she did not regret it. Even if time could be reversed countless times, she would still make the same choice, because this was Su Yueran, a woman who had everything but had nothing.

"I think those beige sets over there are nice. I wonder if they have the right size. Let's go over and take a look."

The girl pointed to the shelf on the other side not far away, her expression still as dull as water. He and she were obviously in the same city, and she could feel his presence, but because of these barriers, she had to suppress the desire that tormented her every moment, the desire to fly to him immediately, to look at him, and to love him.

She has always paid attention to her physical health, because only a healthy body can support her to take him back to her side, but at this moment, there is a trace of sickly paleness on her cheeks, which makes her even more loveable and distressing at first glance.

There are many styles of underwear sold in the clothing store, whether bold and sexy or simple and conservative, you can see a lot at a glance. When she was still with him, the girl preferred those clothes that could better show her beauty, because in this way she could see the love and admiration in his handsome eyes.

But now, she doesn't need these. After all, the person who can make her show her beauty is no longer with her, and she doesn't want her beauty to be seen by others.

"Hey, wait for me, Yue Ran."

Xu Zijin followed the girl closely. The girl came to the set of underwear that she liked, picked up the clothes, looked at them, and then put them in front of her chest to gesture. He said that these light and gentle colors are very suitable for him, and they match his gentle and clingy personality, so most of the clothes she chose tend to be in these colors.

The style was very suitable, simple and matched her temperament very well, but she didn't know if there was a suitable size for her. The girl wanted to call the salesgirl to ask if there was a larger size, but suddenly, she smelled a faint scent of sunflowers in the air.

"What's wrong, Yueran?"

The girl suddenly frowned and stopped what she was doing, causing Xu Zijin beside her to ask in confusion. However, the girl did not answer her. Instead, she quickly looked at the aisle beside her, and stood on tiptoes to take a closer look at the surroundings and the customers in the store, which made Xu Zijin, who was following behind her, a little confused.

But the girl had no time to care about others. She would never mistake that smell, just like a carrier pigeon would never lose its home and a ferocious shark would never lose its prey. When she smelled that extremely familiar scent of sunflowers, not only did her heart become tingling, but her body also became a little limp.

She was very sure that he must have been here before. When she first arrived at the lingerie counter, she looked around and noticed that there seemed to be someone here, but he seemed to be bending over, and she could only see a little bit of his hair, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Xu Zijin, did you see someone standing here just now? Where is he now?"

The girl's face was still very calm, but her rapid breathing and slightly red skin revealed that she was definitely not as normal as she looked. She turned her head hurriedly and looked at her companion who had pulled her out of the villa. As if she wanted to confirm something, she asked her in a serious tone.

"Ah? What? Was there anyone here just now? I didn't know, Yue Ran."

"Tsk..."

Looking at Xu Zijin who still didn't understand what was going on, the girl was shocked. However, now was not the time to blame her. Since it was confirmed that he must have been here just now, and there was no trace of him in other places in the store, where was he hiding now?

It was known that this was a women's clothing store, and that the store did not sell men's clothing. Since he came here, he must not have come alone, but with other women, either with his aunt or with some other damned female cousins. If there were any other places to hide in the store, then the only place he could hide should be...

The girl frowned slightly, and a trace of irritation and annoyance flashed in her clear pupils. Holding the underwear in her hand, she walked to the fitting room of the clothing store a few doors away. After thinking for a while, she put her hand on the door handle of the fitting room...

Chapter 226 Space

The fitting room in the clothing store was not very big, with just enough space for one person to change clothes. When Qi Xia thoughtlessly barged into the fitting room where Tang Wanxia was, the cramped space became even more obvious.

The enclosed space was now filled with a pleasant smell, like a tranquil and refreshing floral scent, but it was a little different from the past. The fragrance was like a gardenia that had accidentally blossomed in a sunny flower field, lingering in the nose and making people feel as if they were in a beautiful flower field, and their whole body couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Looking at Xiao Xia who suddenly broke into her fitting room, Tang Wanxia, ​​who was taking off the stockings on her legs, opened her mouth slightly. Her bright and ethereal eyes suddenly revealed countless expressions of shock and surprise. A blush spread from her ears, dyeing her snow-white neck a graceful pink.

Perhaps she did not expect Xiao Xia to run into the fitting room so eagerly. Tang Wanxia was not mentally prepared at all and was at a loss as she held the stockings she had taken off. Large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed in front of Xiao Xia. She looked at Xiao Xia, and her eyes could not help but show a little shyness and uneasiness.

It's not that she hated Xiaoxia's sudden attack. Rather, if Xiaoxia really couldn't help but want to act coquettishly to her because of her teasing and suddenly broke into the fitting room, then she would be so happy that she wouldn't even have time to go shopping. Wouldn't it be great to just go shopping and find a hotel to get married with Xiaoxia right away? But when she took a deep breath and glanced at Xiaoxia's face, she found that Xiaoxia's face was full of panic and confusion. Before she could even have some romantic thoughts, Tang Wanxia's mind was already filled with worry about Xiaoxia.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xia? Why did you come in so suddenly and look so flustered?"

Tang Wanxia patted Qi Xia's back gently, her cheeks still slightly flushed, but her expression was filled with a hint of worry.

She wrinkled her nose, a little worried. It wasn't that she was worried that Xiao Xia would see her naked in her underwear, but after coming in, Xiao Xia had been breathing heavily and his expression was a little uneasy, as if he had encountered something that made him panic or even scared.

Without waiting for Xiaoxia to explain to her, Tang Wanxia had already gently approached Xiaoxia, just as she had done in the past when Xiaoxia was worried or scared. She put her hands on Xiaoxia's waist, one hand supporting Xiaoxia's waist and the other hand patting Xiaoxia's back. Smelling the rich scent of sunflowers on Xiaoxia's hair, Tang Wanxia began to comfort Qi Xia.

"It's okay, don't worry, Auntie is here. Can you tell Auntie what happened?"

Qi Xia was a little flustered, breathing heavily, like a stupid fish that accidentally jumped onto the shore. When he saw Yue Ran was about to come to him, he used the last second to quickly hide in the fitting room where his aunt was. The door of the fitting room separated his sight from Yue Ran, but he was not sure whether Yue Ran had seen his anxious actions just now.

Hearing his aunt asking him what happened, Qi Xia panted and did not answer immediately. Instead, he hurriedly looked out from the gap in the fitting room door. Yue Ran and Xu Zijin had come to where he was just now, but fortunately, Yue Ran did not seem to notice him. Instead, she picked up a beige underwear and tried it on, which made Qi Xia immediately feel a little relieved.

Qi Xia knew very well that he was actually a timid person in terms of feelings. That was why he was so afraid of meeting Yue Ran again. He was afraid that after meeting Yue Ran and looking at the face of his once beloved girlfriend, he would no longer be so courageous, and his determination to leave Yue Ran would be worn out little by little. He was afraid that he would eventually not be able to help but want to re-enter Yue Ran's life.

After confirming that Yue Ran did not discover him and calming down a little, Qi Xia breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Although he was thankful that Yue Ran didn't find him, the consequences of his actions were not over yet. He suddenly broke into his aunt's fitting room and scared her who had already taken off her coat. Feeling apologetic and embarrassed, he needed to explain to his aunt what had happened.

Qi Xia tilted his head awkwardly, his eyes a little evasive. After all, even if it was to avoid Yue Ran, it was indeed a little inappropriate to hide in the fitting room where his aunt was still changing clothes.

He wanted to explain to his aunt, but before he could open his mouth, the rich fragrance and the alluring scent mixed together and enveloped Qi Xia, who was bending over.

A warm feeling filled his presence. He looked up and saw his aunt's concerned and worried eyes. He felt his aunt's fingers gently caressing his back and the back of his head, just like the countless times he had been held in his aunt's arms for comfort before. It was as if he had immediately found his backbone, and Qi Xia's last trace of panic gradually turned into relief and embarrassment.

Qi Xia raised his head, and there was a faint fragrance lingering on his aunt's body. This faint fragrance that he had smelled countless times was like an irresistible poison at this moment, making Qi Xia's head slightly dizzy. He wanted to tell his aunt that he was fine, and then separate from her. After all, in such a small environment, such intimacy was not appropriate. However, he stretched out his hands and placed them on his aunt's waist. With a little force, his hands accidentally slipped, and both Qi Xia and Xiao Xia's faces turned red.

Qi Xia didn't dare to use any more force. Although his relationship with his aunt had become closer and the stone wall had rotted into a hole large enough for one person to pass through, he obviously couldn't adapt to such a change immediately. With a red face, he looked at his aunt's face so close to him and couldn't help sniffing.

The intoxicating fragrance penetrated the clothes, emanated from the white neck, from the deep valley, from the white and crystal armpits, and from various places, making Qi Xia stunned.

His nose accidentally touched his aunt's skin, and he found that her skin was as hot as his own. For some reason, seeing the hot air coming out of her lips, Qi Xia suddenly felt like a stupid sheep that accidentally ran into a tiger's mouth.

"What happened? Can you tell your aunt?"

The aunt asked again, whispering in his ear. Qi Xia felt his body tremble uncontrollably twice, and he nodded obediently.

Chapter 227 Intertwined

Two completely different breathing sounds filled the small fitting room at this moment. One was rapid and heavy. Qi Xia knew that it was his own breathing, while the other was delicate and quiet, belonging to his aunt in front of him, whose soft cheeks were covered with beautiful pink.

The fitting room was filled with a faint fragrance, it was the scent of her aunt that Qi Xia would never get tired of. The soft fragrance kept teasing Qi Xia's nerves, but in this already small environment, Qi Xia felt that he could not withstand the test at hand.

His aunt was looking at him, her eyes as clear and ethereal as a deep pool revealed a gentleness as delicate as flower juice. Her soft body pressed lightly against Qi Xia's, allowing Qi Xia to feel the warmth from his aunt.

Feeling the gentle embrace of his aunt, looking at her cheek which was glowing with a faint crystal light and was so soft that it seemed as if water would drip out at the next moment, Qi Xia turned his face away, feeling that somewhere deep in his heart began to throb uncontrollably like last night.

The warm fragrance of her aunt's body, which complemented her temperament, lingered in Qi Xia's nostrils, making Qi Xia feel as if he was in a hot furnace. Every breath would make his body temperature rise a little more.

Ever since last night, the feeling that had been tormenting Qi Xia had never appeared again, but instead, there was a shyness that made Qi Xia feel a little bit at a loss, the shame of being discovered for something he couldn't say out loud, and a barely perceptible smugness that filled Qi Xia's heart at all times.

His aunt gently stroked his back to comfort him, her sparkling eyes filled with endless indulgence and love for him. But after calming down a little, Qi Xia didn't dare to look at his aunt's face.

His body was slightly stiff, because when he thought about being alone with his aunt in such a small fitting room, and that his aunt had said that she would always love and tolerate him no matter what he did, Qi Xia's thoughts became wild and out of his control.

"Aunt, it's nothing, you can let me go."

Qi Xia said softly, then turned his head away embarrassedly. He wanted to cover himself, but his aunt held him tightly in her arms, and he couldn't break free. He could only bend over with difficulty to maintain a rather strenuous and strange posture.

Of course Tang Wanxia also noticed the changes in Xiaoxia's body, but she pretended not to notice and still held Xiaoxia tightly in her arms. Such a space, such an environment, and such an atmosphere, although due to an accident, were nothing less than an opportunity for Tang Wanxia to bring herself and Xiaoxia closer.

"Really? But when you suddenly ran in just now, Xiao Xia, you looked so panicked that I thought something terrible had happened outside. So, what on earth happened to you, Xiao Xia? Why were you so panicked that you even hid in my fitting room?"

Tang Wanxia narrowed her eyes slightly, and her long, dense eyelashes were slightly curled, revealing an infinite and charming charm and a hint of surprise that was not easily perceived.

The relationship between her and Xiaoxia has come a long way compared to before. The hurdle that was originally so difficult to overcome has now been stepped upon by them. However, compared to herself who has been prepared and can't wait, her Xiaoxia seems to have not yet adapted to this sudden change.

From last night till now, Xiaoxia's performance and behavior have always revealed a sense of confusion and helplessness. Although it is not obvious, Xiaoxia is also trying hard to respond to her feelings and expectations, but Tang Wanxia can still sense that there is still a trace of uneasiness and confusion in Xiaoxia's heart.

This was not something worth being surprised about. After all, Tang Wanxia had anticipated this day a long time ago. Xiaoxia grew up under the influence of her mother and sister. Compared to herself who had held rebellious ideas for a long time, Xiaoxia could undoubtedly be said to be a boy who attached great importance to tradition.

She thought that it would take some time for Xiao Xia to change her mindset and get used to the relationship between her and her, which might even become more intimate in the future. However, when she saw Xiao Xia suddenly go into her fitting room, Tang Wanxia suddenly realized that it didn't take too long to do this. After all, if Xiao Xia didn't trust her and didn't want to cross that line with her, how could Xiao Xia run into the fitting room even though she knew she was changing clothes...

"Ah... I'm sorry, auntie. It's not a big deal. I just ran into a girl from my class outside. I was afraid of being seen by her, so I felt embarrassed and hid inside. I'm sorry, auntie..."

Qi Xia's face turned red, and when his aunt asked him what happened outside, Qi Xia suddenly came back to his senses from the throbbing in his heart. Because he had accidentally mentioned Yue Ran's name in front of his aunt before, Qi Xia didn't dare to tell his aunt who he met. He just said that he accidentally met a female classmate in the class outside, which made him feel embarrassed and wanted to hide.

Qi Xia felt a little guilty about lying to his aunt. He shouldn't have lied to her. But if he really told her everything that happened to him, regardless of whether she would believe him or not, she would probably send him to the hospital immediately, saying that his Xiao Xia was unconscious and talking nonsense, and he would mistake any girl on the street for his girlfriend in his previous life.
