22: 22, covered in mud specks 22: 22, covered in mud specks That day, when An Xiaoyu hurried to the restaurant where she had agreed to meet Qin Zixiao, she was already twenty minutes late.
“Sorry, Brother Zixiao, something came up last minute, so I’m a bit late!”
Qin Zixiao looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Are things taken care of?”
She wasn’t sure if it was really taken care of, but after she said those words to Chu Mucheng, his face turned even uglier.
However, he didn’t continue to give her a hard time and instead left her with a cold remark: “Even if it’s a mistake, I want it to go on being a mistake!
Also, a reminder, Qin Zixiao is getting engaged soon!”
After saying that, Chu Mucheng turned and left.
An Xiaoyu felt that this guy was incredibly unpredictable and somewhat baffling.
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore!
This was a western restaurant located on the fifth floor of a mall, with a very elegant ambiance.
They were sitting at a window seat, where a twist of the head allowed them to see the neon lights on the street, resembling a mottled and splendid river stretching endlessly as if there was no end.
Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
An Xiaoyu looked at Qin Zixiao in front of her; he seemed the same as ever, but Xiaoyu keenly felt that they could never go back to the way things were before.
Perhaps, today was their farewell dinner!
He would soon be engaged, then married!
Afterward, Brother Zixiao would no longer be her own Brother Zixiao, and she could no longer cling to him like she did in their childhood!
“Brother Zixiao, I haven’t met your future sister-in-law yet, she must be very beautiful, right?
Do you have a photo of her on your phone?
Come on, let me see!”
An Xiaoyu reached out her hand, asking for Qin Zixiao’s phone.
Qin Zixiao shook his head.
“I don’t have her photo on my phone.
You’ll meet her on the engagement day…”
An Xiaoyu withdrew her hand and started eating.
Qin Zixiao watched her quiet and obedient demeanor, feeling somewhat bittersweet inside.
He was reminded of times long past.
It was over a decade ago, on the way home from school during summer, he saw a black Mercedes driving ahead of his family’s car.
It was the Chu Family’s car, used specially to pick up and drop off Chu Mucheng for school.
But halfway through the journey, the car suddenly stopped, and a little girl suddenly got out, her manner of exiting…
looked like she was pushed out.
It was raining outside, the girl had no umbrella, and amidst the curtain of rain, alone and determined, she walked forward without looking back.
The Mercedes lingered for a moment and then sped off, splashing her with mud.
That instant, Qin Zixiao frowned.
“Uncle Liu, who is that girl?” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
“That’s the Chu Family’s stepdaughter, seems her name is An Xiaoyu.
But from the looks of it, this girl isn’t favored at the Chu Family!
He rolled down the window, watching the girl walk in the rain, even humming a song.
His home was located in the same villa complex as the Chu Family, and there was no direct bus service there, so when Chu Mucheng had abandoned her on the roadside, she had to walk back by herself, yet the road was still very long!
“Uncle Liu, drive slower!”
As the car passed by, he got a clear view of the girl’s face.
She was a pretty girl, especially her eyes, clear and bright, full of spirit, and her small face was also filled with defiance.
At that moment, his heart was slightly touched.
“Uncle Liu, let her ride with us back home!”
“Alright, Young Master!”
So, the driver stopped the car, claiming to be a neighbor from the same complex as the Chu Family, offering her a ride, but she politely refused.
“Thank you, uncle, but my clothes are already dirty, I will dirty your car!
I’ll be home in a little while if I walk!”
After saying that, she continued on her way alone.
At that time, An Xiaoyu didn’t know that he was sitting in the back seat of the car watching her.
when she ran away from home after being falsely accused by Chu Mucheng of being a thief, thinking it was her first time meeting him, in reality, he had already been paying attention to her for a long time.
