Chapter 177 She seems to want to see herself
Ye Xi was a little dazed as she looked at what she was holding in her hand. When a familiar smell wafted out, she came to her senses and pushed Liu He away.
"Why did you think of buying this for me?"
Liu He surprisingly did not answer her this time. She was silent for a few seconds before putting the things on the table. Then she turned around and smiled, but said nothing.
How should I answer you?
The reason I bought it for you is because I thought that since Ye Lang bought it for you, you would be sad because of him, so if I buy it for you, would you also be sad because of me?
Or...if I have made it obvious enough and you know that I am not your sister-in-law, will you think of me when you see Furong Su next time?
She couldn't say these words, so she simply stopped talking.
Ye Xi opened the package, took out a piece and put it in her mouth. Perhaps it was because of the name change, it tasted much crispier.
"Is it delicious?" Liu He suddenly asked.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the half piece in his hand and nodded: "It's delicious, you can try it."
After all, I bought so much.
Liu He seemed to be thinking about something. He walked up to her, lifted one side of her hair, looked at Ye Xi tentatively, and then ate the half piece that she was holding between her fingertips.
The soft lips brushed against his fingertips, and Ye Xi suddenly felt a burning sensation.
It's like touching a red-hot kettle. The momentary burning sensation isn't painful, just a little itchy.
"That's what I ate." Ye Xi said this with difficulty, trying to let Liu He know what ridiculous thing she had just done.
But Liu He stood up and smiled with great satisfaction, because Ye Xi was not angry because of her bold behavior.
"It's delicious." She replied with a smile.
Ye Xi didn’t feel annoyed, she just felt a little...uncomfortable, or embarrassed?
Anyway, it was a very unfamiliar emotion, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
Liu He looked at her with a gentle smile, and thoughts popped up in his mind one after another.
Ye Xi has such a good temper that she wasn't even angry when I did this.
No, she is not angry because I am the one who did this, or she will not be angry no matter who does this?
If others behaved recklessly in the same way in the future, would she not realize it?
Liu He's face gradually became gloomy, leaving Ye Xi confused.
He was smiling just now, what happened? What does it mean that he suddenly frowned?
"Why aren't you angry?" Liu Hezhu asked without understanding.
Ye Xi couldn't follow her train of thought at all, and subconsciously asked back: "Why should I... be angry?"
Liu He frowned: "If that's the case, then no matter who eats the half just now, you won't be angry?"
Ye Xi looked at his empty palms slowly: "You...if we are acquaintances, there is no..."
Liu He was very unhappy. This question made her angry.
"No one else is allowed." She interrupted Ye Xi for the first time, and her tone was unusually strong towards her: "No one else is allowed to eat the half you have eaten." She even repeated it.
Ye Xi didn't react much, but her mind suddenly became more active: "Who can eat this half?"
Liu He pointed at himself: "Me."
Ye Xi was amused by her: "You? Why are you different from others?"
Liu He was speechless. Her speechless expression remained for a long time under Ye Xi's playful gaze before she could barely come up with a suitable reason.
"I'm your sister-in-law, so our relationship is naturally better than others."
She took the initiative to talk about this matter, and Ye Xi took the initiative. The teasing in his eyes increased instead of decreasing, and he moved closer step by step.
The guilty person stepped back unconsciously, and when she suddenly sat on the couch, she looked up at Ye Xi: "Am I wrong?"
Ye Xi bent down with his hands behind his back and looked at her, his dark gray pupils obviously evasive.
"Are you my sister-in-law?"
Liu He was startled, unable to describe her feelings. While she felt joy at finally being discovered after deliberately revealing her flaws for so long, she was also panicked by the fact that her true identity had been exposed. She was conflicted, unsure of what to do, and could only bite the bullet and agree.
"……yes."
Ye Xi raised a meaningful smile on her lips, and without further questioning, she took a step back: "Okay, then from now on, I will be very close to you. Closer than anyone else."
Ye Xi wanted to use this sentence to serve as a warning to Liu He, implying that she would pay more attention to her in the future and remind her not to show her true colors.
Because she could see it all, it was only a matter of time before the meticulous mother would notice the clues. If this person wanted to pretend, he had to pretend more convincingly so that he could stay longer.
But Liu He didn't have time to think about this, because the first thing she thought of was -
Ye Xi may not have discovered her identity yet, she still thinks of herself as Liu Tao.
If that's the case, then when Liu Tao comes back in the future, won't Ye Xi be very close to her?
"no!"
Her resolute refusal made Ye Xi stunned: "Why not?"
Liu He scratched his ears, hesitating on how to say this. Finally, in order to prevent others from doing so, he simply blocked his own path as well:
"No one can do such a reckless thing to you. If anyone doesn't know how to live or die, you should teach him a lesson!"
Ye Xi was very confused by her attitude and behavior: "You were the one who said we were close, and now you are saying this again, so should I teach you a lesson?"
Liu He was speechless. She found that she seemed to be very good at shooting herself in the foot in front of Ye Xi.
"...It's late, you should go to bed."
Ye Xi raised his eyebrows slightly - OK, so you start chasing people away just because you can't win the argument?
She nodded, turned around and walked out. The moment the sound of the door closing was heard, Liu He's nerves relaxed.
"Ye Xi... I'm afraid I'll never be able to clearly become your most exceptional person."
The door was suddenly pushed open. Liu He was startled. When he saw it was Ye Xi, he became even more nervous.
Ye Xi lowered her head and quickly walked to the table, grabbed the lotus pastry in her hand, and left again without even looking at her.
"Hmph, I can't let you get away with it. I'll take it back and eat it slowly!"
Liu He stared at her back in a daze, and it took him a long time before he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Before closing the door, Ye Xi couldn't help but take a look inside, but almost couldn't take this step.
Her eyes were filled with worry and reluctance. She was clearly smiling, but her smile was extremely helpless. Although the light in the room was not dim, it was not bright either.
The corners of the lips are raised, the eyebrows are helpless, and the eyes are full of sadness and reluctance.
This made Ye Xi feel that she was the one who left her alone in the house and abandoned her.
She returned to the next room with a heavy heart, carrying the Hibiscus Pastry. Suddenly, she remembered the murmurs that had unconsciously flowed from her lips when she slept with this man for the first time.
What does it mean to finally see yourself?
It sounded like she had been looking forward to it for a long time, as if... she was very eager to see him.
Have they seen it before? Why don't they have any impression of it?
She... who is she?
