Yi Sisi's smile silently froze on the corners of her lips, she was stunned for half a second, and her eyes silently met Xu Xiangxuan's shocked and worried eyes.
"You guys know each other? What a coincidence. Xiuping, this little girl is Yi Sisi, a classmate of theirs. I happened to meet her just now, and I came here by her ride."
I see. Yi Sisi should have guessed that the two brothers were both studying in Lincoln, the eldest was studying for a Ph. D., and the second was studying for a bachelor's degree. They are in the construction industry. Who else would Mr. "Xu" be if he wasn't his father? Yi Sisi suddenly understood, and instantly understood Mr. Xu's strange moment in the car just now. After Xu Xiangyang returned to the country, he must have been unable to control his mouth, and made public the unclear relationship between himself and Xu Xiangxuan.
Yi Sisi felt that her facial muscles were a little tense, and she really wanted to run away, but she couldn't do it, because at this time, another gaze shot over.
The mother of the two Xu Xiangxuan brothers is dressed in homely clothes, not showing off her beauty, but her elegant demeanor is aggressive. She made no secret of her sizing up of Yi Sisi, and Yi Sisi felt that her eyes were covering her whole body, not letting go of a blind spot.
Yi Sisi knew that her plain sportswear must be a bit shabby, so she didn't want to lose her momentum, so she forced herself to raise her head confidently and look into the other person's eyes.
Yi Sisi waited for the other party to finish looking and say hello. Unexpectedly, she looked at it for a while, and her eyes shifted indifferently, as if she was looking at the air just now. Yi Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable, but dared not attack.
"It's so late, and I don't answer the phone, so come and sit down." Xu's mother blamed Xu's father angrily, her tone was very cold.
Xu's mother turned around and handed the menu to a quiet and dignified girl, her voice became a little enthusiastic: "Yaoyao, just order whatever you like."
Yi Sisi finally noticed the girl sitting beside Xu Xiangxuan who was fidgeting. She took the menu with a smile, showing her ladylike demeanor. She flicked the menu with her bare hands and looked through it gracefully.
Xu's father obviously didn't expect Xu's mother's reaction, his face flashed with displeasure, he took a step closer to Yi Sisi, and whispered in her ear: "Since we all know each other, come over and eat together."
Yi Sisi still wanted to refuse, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xu's father's irresistible expression. The aura of the senior elder made Yi Sisi shrink her head and nodded in response.
Xu Xiangyang seemed both happy and embarrassed, stood up, and pulled up his chair: "Sister Sisi, come and sit here."
Yi Sisi didn't miss the disdain in Xu's mother's eyes, because she didn't seem to bother to hide it at all. Yi Sisi bit the bullet and sat down beside Xu Xiangxuan. Xu Xiangxuan didn't greet her, there was pain and relief in his eyes.
During the dinner, Yi Sisi said very little, chewing hard on the familiar taste of fried beef with scallions, but couldn't swallow it. Xu's father complained that the meals here were simply for beggars. Xu Xiangyang responded repeatedly, expressing that he had a hard time in the United States, and hoped to return to China to serve his parents, eat some big fish and meat by the way, and be ashamed of the jade plate, and never come to such a ghostly place as the "big countryside" in the United States.
The girl named "Yaoyao" also occasionally said a few words politely. Yi Sisi gradually understood that "Yaoyao" was the childhood sweetheart neighbor of Xu Xiangxuan's brother, and was about to go to a prestigious school on the east coast to study finance, and came to the United States with Xu's family, and took a look at "Brother Xiangxuan" whom he had admired for a long time. How could Yi Sisi fail to recognize that this girl was the blind date arranged by Xu's mother for Xu Xiangxuan. She is as young and beautiful as herself, but after all, she has an extra confidence that she doesn't have, and a calmness that is not troubled by money. For the first time, Yi Sisi felt that she couldn't hold her head up in front of others.
The waiter brought a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, and Xu's mother sighed again, and said to Xu Xiangxuan helplessly, "You just refuse to go to the east coast school. It's difficult to even order food in such a crappy place. You can only order such a tacky dish to try."
Yi Sisi suddenly saw that there were a lot of peanuts in the Kung Pao Chicken, and felt impatient. He reached under the table and pinched Xu Xiangxuan's thigh, then looked at him and shook his head. Xu Xiangxuan understood and nodded tacitly.
Xu's mother seemed to have noticed the silent communication between the two. She took a spoonful of Kung Pao Chicken with a public spoon and added it to Xu Xiangxuan's bowl. , Xu's mother's expression was kind, even a little flattering.
Xu Xiangxuan was also shocked by his mother's sudden care, with a long-lost warmth in his heart, he involuntarily picked up the chopsticks and put the diced chicken in his mouth.
Yi Sisi stood up suddenly, swung her hand in the direction of Xu Xiangxuan, and just knocked over his bowl with a "bang".
Everyone was shocked, Xu Xiangyang suddenly found the peanuts in the leftovers on the table, and instantly understood Yi Sisi's intentions, just about to explain to her, Yi Sisi said: "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to peanuts. I was a little scared, so I accidentally knocked over his bowl. It was meReckless, sorry. "
Xu's father didn't expect Yi Sisi to behave inappropriately. Although he was a little disappointed, he expressed his understanding of his peanut allergy, so he said with relief: "It's okay, I'm really sorry, I ordered something you can't eat, so I will take it down."
Yi Sisi quickly said: "No, no, I have to pick up my roommate from get off work. I'm already full. Thank you for your hospitality."
Xu's mother cast her contemptuous gaze again, and Yi Sisi felt that he couldn't stay for a moment, so he thanked her a few more times and fled in despair.
Xu Xiangxuan wanted to grab her hand and let her stay, but it was too late. The waiter came to clean up the mess, and the family continued to eat while looking at each other. Xu Xiangxuan's thoughts had already flown outside the restaurant, full of guilt, emotion and anxiety.
Yi Sisi was in a panic, not only because of Xu's mother's disapproval, but also because of Xu Xiangxuan's inaction. If he could solemnly introduce himself in front of his family, even if it was just a simple sentence: "This is my friend Yi Sisi." Or if he saw her off when she was about to leave, she would feel better .
But he is Xu Xiangxuan, a man with slow emotions. A man who never takes the initiative to meet, only creates "coincidences" on campus and on the way home, and only silently solves various difficulties for her, but never expresses his feelings in words.
Yi Sisi suddenly realized that he was too proactive these days, and all the small opportunities he created intentionally or unintentionally were wasted by him, and in the end he seemed shameless instead.
This is not the best version of Yi Sisi's favorite self, she needs someone who understands her pride (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
