Chapter 165 Flowers and Drama (Part )
Chi Yu stood in front of the stage, watching Xie Yuchen stand up from the stage, walk briskly to the stage, and meet his eyes.
"I remember that the time we agreed to meet was not this time." Xie Yuchen asked, "Did anything happen on the way?"
Chi Yu did not answer this question, but asked him instead: "Is this the end of the play? It is not a good habit to end it abruptly."
"I just sang that scene to kill time. Since you are here, there is no need to make you wait for a long time in the pursuit of perfection." Xie Yuchen smiled, "But if you like to listen, I can of course continue singing for you."
As he spoke, Xie Yuchen opened the fan embroidered with gold threads again, half covering his face, and gently fanned it. His eyebrows were curved, and his dark eyes shone beautifully under the sunlight, complementing the shining gold threads.
“——Not just The Drunken Concubine.”
Chi Yu's light-colored pupils moved. He lowered his eyes and looked at Li Yuchen for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Singing operas and appreciating flowers are all included. The head of the Jie family really has the leisure time."
Xie Yuchen was slightly stung by these words. It didn't hurt, but his heart was itchy.
He looked at Chi Yu's unmoved look, sighed softly, and put away his folding fan. "No matter how hard I try, the work waiting for me to deal with will never decrease. I have to set aside some private time to relax."
"I don't have many hobbies or friends, but whether it's singing opera, flower appreciation, or something else, as long as I meet the right time and can spend some time with friends, I always feel better."
friend.
Chi Yu repeated these two words in his mind, thinking that this word might not be very appropriate for them.
But perhaps for ordinary people, the beginning of accepting someone is often to transform the other person from other roles around you into a "friend".
So in the past, there were always some "friends" around Chi Yu for unknown reasons.
They bypassed Chi Yu's cold face and eagerly waited for his response. It was just that those people liked nothing more than the beautiful image in their imagination.
They attached labels to Chi Yu that he did not have, and then when he did things that did not match the labels, they looked at him with disappointment, saying things like "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person" and chose to leave.
Looking at the wrong person with the wrong eyes will certainly lead to the wrong result.
Chi Yu considered himself a person with normal likes and dislikes, so he hated dealing with such troublesome matters. He thought that instead of blaming him, those people should reflect on whether there was something wrong with their vision and why they were so presumptuous to treat him as a friend.
As for what a true friend should be like? Actually, Chi Yu still doesn't understand it. He just thinks that if he must say, Black Glasses can be considered one, and Xie Yuchen...
Chi Yu thought for a moment and asked Xie Yuchen, "Will being with me make you feel better?"
Xie Yuchen looked at him, smiled and said nothing.
So Chi Yu also sighed softly, "If you call me next time and I happen to have time, I will come."
"Even if I'm late?" Xie Yuchen asked.
So he couldn't escape this problem in the end, Chi Yu thought.
"Sorry." He looked at Xie Yuchen, "Next time, I will be on time for the appointment."
Xie Yuchen really laughed out loud this time. He put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and then quickly straightened up, saying in a brisk tone, "Accidents are always unavoidable. You can't control everyone's words and actions, so you don't have to take it too seriously."
"As long as you can come, I will wait for you no matter when." Xie Yuchen said, and took Chi Yu to the flower pavilion under the shade of the remaining trees. "The tea I brewed earlier is probably cold. I'll ask someone to prepare a new pot of tea. But the sun is strong now, so we can go sit in the pavilion for a while."
Chi Yu listened quietly, his eyes sweeping over the little girl who had run to the pavilion alone to enjoy the cool air after he arrived, and whose curious eyes would occasionally drift over to him.
"Who is that?"
Xie Yuchen's gaze also followed Chi Yu's. He looked at Huo Xiuxiu, who not only did not leave but was still sitting in the pavilion and looking over here, and sighed for who knows how many times today.
"Her name is Huo Xiuxiu. She is my playmate, the granddaughter of Huo Xiangu, the head of the Nine Gates Huo family, and the next heir to the Huo family."
"She doesn't look like she was groomed as an heir."
Hearing this, Xie Yuchen looked at Chi Yu again and his voice became a little lower: "Why do you say that?"
"Her eyes are very clear, and she has no desire or ambition for power. She is more like a girl next door than an heir to a family." Chi Yu said, "Whether it is for you or for me, it is completely different."
If one were to ask whose eyes in this world could be used for discussion, Chi Yu could only think of Wu Xie.
But if this scope is not limited to this world, then the only more appropriate candidate he can think of is probably...
Chi Yu cut off his overly wandering thoughts.
Huo Xiuxiu on the other side saw that the two people's eyes shifted to where she was, and knew that they must have ended the conversation they had just met, so she smiled and waved to them.
But the young girl couldn't stand loneliness after all. In order not to disturb the two people reminiscing about the past, she had been sitting quietly in the pavilion for a while. Of course, it was impossible for her to continue waiting there.
So she skipped and ran to Xie Yuchen and Chi Yu, with even her hair ends curled up with endless energy.
"Hello, Mr. Chi." Huo Xiuxiu said, "My name is Huo Xiuxiu, you can just call me Xiuxiu."
Chi Yu lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was only half his waist height. After thinking for a while, he took two steps back and said, "Hello, Xiuxiu."
Huo Xiuxiu smiled and looked very cute, especially her eyes. From a distance, they seemed clean, but when you looked closely, you could reveal that there was a vibrant spirit in them. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, which was very beautiful.
"I've heard about your deeds from Brother Xiaohua a long time ago, and now I finally get to see you in person! It's just as Brother Xiaohua said..."
Huo Xiuxiu stretched out her tone, looked at Chi Yu, then looked at Xie Yuchen who was standing aside, and in the end she didn't say the rest of the sentence.
In fact, Chi Yu didn't care what Xie Yuchen said about him in front of Huo Xiuxiu. But seeing Huo Xiuxiu's face full of the expression "What do you think? Do you really want to know what Xie Yuchen said? Come and ask me", he still asked considerately:
"What did he say?"
Huo Xiuxiu blinked: "Brother Xiaohua said that you are the most admired person he has met in such a long time, and you are also pleasing to the eye--"
As she said this, she smiled mischievously, "Brother Xiaohua likes it, and I like it too."
"You are so good, Huo Xiuxiu, now you are plotting against me!"
Xie Yuchen raised the folding fan in his hand and pretended to strike, but this childhood playmate who had been quirky since childhood dodged it easily.
Huo Xiuxiu hid behind Chi Yu, stuck out her tongue at Xie Yuchen, winked at him, and laughed happily, "That's clearly what I meant, it's not a random fabrication. Mr. Chi, look at him, his ears are red."
Xie Yuchen tried to hold back, but couldn't hold back any longer and stomped his feet: "I'm angry! Huo Xiuxiu, come out!"
Looking at the two childish guys, one big and one small, surrounding him, Chi Yu sighed softly, not understanding why the two guys suddenly broke out into a dispute.
As expected, they are still children who have not grown up, Chi Yu thought.
Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu naturally also heard the sigh. They looked at each other and tacitly chose to stop.
Huo Xiuxiu was stared at by Li Yuchen, but she couldn't tease him anymore. She felt that meeting Chi Yu today was worthwhile, so she snorted and said to Chi Yu:
"Mr. Chi, now that you are here, Brother Xiaohua might be thinking about kicking me out, so I won't disturb you and Brother Xiaohua's leisure time here."
"I'm going back to see grandma." Huo Xiuxiu walked away briskly, leaving only the sweet voice of a young girl floating in the wind, "—lest some petty-minded guy come to settle accounts with me later."
Chi Yu and Jie Yuchen stood by the pavilion and watched the little girl skipping away.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Xie Yuchen said, "Xiu Xiu is still young and likes to play around."
Chi Yu shook her head. "It doesn't matter. Children are more likable when they are lively."
Xie Yuchen turned around and said, "So you prefer something more lively?"
"Being quiet or lively, introverted or extroverted, it doesn't really make any difference to me," Chi Yu said. "But I've always heard people say that children are only likable if they're lively."
——"So a quiet child like you will eventually be abandoned by the small building." Someone secretly told him.
Then he was soon scolded and beaten by the people who came and ran away screaming.
"What nonsense! I love our little fish so much, how could I want to throw it away?" One hand gently stroked the top of Chi Yu's head, and he coaxed him in a soft voice, "Little fish, let me sing an opera for you, okay?"
The clear singing voice drifted far away, but even today, it still lingers in Chi Yu's ears.
And now, whose singing is echoing in the mansion?
Huo Xiuxiu walked out of the land belonging to the Jie family. She turned around, looked at the plaque in front of the door, and smiled gently.
The young man was still unaware of sorrow. He took advantage of the beautiful spring scenery, hummed a song, and stepped into the bustling outside world.
