Xu Xu Xiangyi

Chapter 43 End

When I woke up in the morning, the room was still a little dark.

Chu Yiyi subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her side, but she didn't find the expected person.She froze for a moment, picked up the mobile phone beside her and glanced at it. It was past eight o'clock.

Chu Yiyi quickly turned over and got up, went to the window and opened the curtains.

The sky outside was gloomy, and it was raining continuously.

She scratched her hair, pulled on her slippers and pushed open the bedroom door.

Xiaoying, who was eating breakfast, looked back at her, showing her well-grown front teeth, "Sister Yiyi woke up!"

Chu Yiyi hummed, walked over to hug Xiaoying and kissed her cheek, "Why didn't you call me?"

"Mom said today is the weekend, I need sister Yiyi to sleep a little longer." Xiaoying was still holding a spoon in her hand, so she couldn't hug Chu Yiyi, so she could only touch her with her arm, "Sister, go wash up! I'll need more later out."

"Going out?" Chu Yiyi yawned, and asked lazily, "What are you doing out on a rainy day?"

Xu Min just came out after washing his hands, and explained, "The school needs to submit ID photos, and they must be recent ones. I want to take Xiaoying to take a new one."

Chu Yiyi stepped faster, "Then I'll clean up and send you there first."

Xu Min hummed, turned slightly to let Chu Yiyi pass, but held her hand before she went in, "Do you have anything else to do today?"

Chu Yiyi shook her head, "What's wrong?"

"Then let's take a photo together." Xu Min smiled, looked at Chu Yiyi and said, "In addition to Xiaoying's ID photo, I also need a family photo."

Chu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Xiaoying who was trying to eat the porridge, then turned back to look at Xu Min, "Is it a family portrait?"

Xu Min nodded.

When they got to Xin Ran's place, Chu Yiyi still couldn't believe it.

After all, the experience of taking a family portrait is too novel. Strictly speaking, this should be the first time she has had the impression of doing such a thing.

When she was a child and didn't remember anything, her parents may have loved each other for a while, but when she could keep clear memories in her mind, there were only disputes and complaints left.

Xin Ran's office is in a chic retro small building. Although there are only two floors, the environment is very good.

Lin Ting was also there, and it was said that the two of them went back to their alma mater to take a photo of their graduation, and then discovered that Xin Ran was actually quite talented in taking pictures of people.

Chu Yiyi didn't care about this, as far as that school was concerned, it was just these two friends who had a complicated relationship but were still friends.

She is more concerned about how to smile without being so stiff when the family portrait is taken next time.

Today Xiaoying wore a white shirt dress with a small pink tie neatly tied in the middle.

She was also a little nervous, but fortunately, her mother and sister Yiyi were by her side, and the person taking the photo was sister Xin Ran, and Aunt Lin was helping her pose. Xiaoying's nervousness quickly dissipated up.

It's just that when she turned her head, she saw that the usual handsome sister Yiyi was a little strange.

She blinked her big eyes and looked at sister Yiyi, then turned her head and pulled her mother's sleeve.

Xu Min followed her gaze, and happened to see Chu Yiyi who was a little stiff.

Probably because this appearance was a little different from her usual appearance, Xu Min looked at her for a long time before reaching out and patting her on the back from behind.

Chu Yiyi suddenly straightened her back.

Xin Ran, who was standing behind the camera, raised his eyebrows, while Lin Ting, who was at the side, was not so reserved, and accidentally laughed out loud.

Chu Yiyi glared at her, then turned to look at her sister, and said aggrievedly, "I'm nervous."

Xu Min responded, took Xiaoying's hand from behind, and said softly, "Actually, I'm also a little nervous."

Chu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, she knew that Xu Min's words were not just to comfort herself, because she could feel the slightly cold feeling of the clasped palms being wet with sweat.

The nervousness was not relieved, but Chu Yiyi's heart became even more agitated.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the hand tightly held by Xu Min, moved slightly closer to Xiaoying, and then turned to the camera.

Xin Ran, who had been staring at the camera, did not hesitate to take a picture of this family of three.

But since everyone is here, it is impossible to just take this picture, even Lin Ting joined in the fun, dragging Xin Ran into the mirror to take a photo of the happy reunion.

At the end of the shoot, Xin Ran was flipping through the photos when Chu Yiyi suddenly said something to her.

Xin Ran paused, looked at Xu Min who was helping Xiaoying adjust her tie, and nodded.

On Monday, Chu Yiyi woke up very early, so early that she even had time to go out and buy breakfast.

The weather is still hot, so don't worry about buying it in advance and it will cool down.Chu Yiyi took out the things and put them on the dinner plate, then stared at the cabinet in the entrance and lost her mind for a while.

Xu Min has always had a good habit these years. She always packs Xiaoying's schoolbag the night before, in case something is missed in the morning.

Just like the passport photo that the teacher asked to bring last week, Xu Min has already put it away, and put it in the schoolbag with other things that need to be handed in.

Chu Yiyi lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, then reached out and opened the drawer under the coffee table, and took out the photo album from Xin Ran yesterday.

After breakfast, Chu Yiyi and Xu Min went to send Xiaoying to school together.At the school gate, Xu Min told Xiaoying to remember to hand things over to the teacher and drink up the water in the cup before watching her enter the school.

Standing behind her, Chu Yiyi looked at Xiaoying bouncing around, opened her mouth to say something, but took it back.

Xu Min looked back at her, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yiyi shook her head and forced a smile, "I haven't even hugged me yet, so I'm anxious to find her new friend."

Xu Min also smiled when he heard the words, "She probably doesn't want to listen to my nagging about drinking water."

The two returned to the car, and Xu Min looked at Chu Yiyi while fastening his seat belt.

Chu Yiyi pursed her lips slightly and looked straight ahead, as if she was driving seriously.

When they arrived at Baiser's parking lot, the two of them didn't speak any more.

Chu Yiyi parked the car and helped Xu Min unbuckle his seat belt, but suddenly heard Xu Min sigh softly.

She paused, and before she could retract her hand, Xu Min grabbed her.

Chu Yiyi looked at her, inexplicably feeling a little guilty, and then looked away.

"When I went out in the morning, I checked Xiaoying's schoolbag." Xu Min looked at the dodgy person in front of him, and reached out to hold her cheek so that she could look at him, "So I saw it."

I saw her replace the photos of three people with two.

Chu Yiyi paused, and opened her mouth to explain, but her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she couldn't speak.

Xu Min looked at her quietly. She didn't move until the phone's notification sounded. She looked at the time and said, "I should go up."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yiyi was inexplicably relieved, she nodded hurriedly, "You go to work first...we'll talk about it when you come back."

Xu Min nodded, opened the car door and went down.

Chu Yiyi sat in the car, watching her slowly walk towards the exit.

But when she reached the exit, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Chu Yiyi.

With just one glance, Chu Yiyi opened the car door and walked quickly towards that person.

Standing there, Xu Min watched Chu Yiyi's footsteps almost running, and subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch the person who rushed over.

Chu Yiyi hugged her, and finally opened her mouth with difficulty, "I can't decide for Xiaoying who is her family."

After all, she is still a child, and she still can't understand how close the so-called family is.

In other words, she is still not sure if there is any difference between herself and Lin Ting and Xin Ran in Xiaoying's heart.

Xu Min looked at her, her eyes suddenly turned a little red, her chin rested on Chu Yiyi's shoulder, and she whispered, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Chu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and slightly distanced herself from Xu Min. Seeing her sad expression, she suddenly realized that this person might have had the same uncertainty.

It's just that she was worried about Chu Yiyi.

Chu Yiyi looked at her steadfastly, and after a long time, she hugged the person in front of her again, and said softly, "I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry I didn't explain my uneasiness to you well, I'm sorry I made you have such worries, Xu Min was stunned for a while, after all, he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and hugged her back.

……

When get out of class was over, Xiaoying was holding the cup and drinking water very hard.

A child panted and took a picture, and said to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, Xiaoying, Teacher Liu asked you to find her."

Xiaoying's eyes widened, she held the cup and asked, "Where are you going?"

"That's right, her office."

Xiaoying looked at the cup in her hand, and finally decided to go to the teacher with it.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the office, Teacher Liu came over and took her hand, and then closed the door of the office.

Xiaoying touched the cup nervously and asked, "Ms. Liu, Xiaoxuan said you were looking for me."

Teacher Liu nodded, and pulled Xiaoying to look at the things on the table, "That's right, the teacher asked every student to bring a family photo last week, right?"

Xiaoying nodded obediently.

"But, there are two photos in Xiaoying's envelope." Teacher Liu touched Xiaoying's head, "I asked Xiaoying's mother, but she hasn't replied yet."

Teacher Liu put the two photos in front of Xiaoying, "So, which of these two is Xiaoying's family portrait?"

Xiaoying poked her head down and looked at the two photos.

One is just me and my mother, and the other one has sister Yiyi.

Holding the water glass, she pointed to one of them, "Teacher, this is Xiaoying's family portrait."

Teacher Liu paused for a moment, then pointed to Xu Min, "So this is Xiaoying's mother, then..." She pointed to another person, "This is?"

Xiaoying blinked her eyes, looked up at the teacher, and said something softly.

To pick Xiaoying up from school at night, Chu Yiyi just arrived at the door when she saw Xiaoying rushing towards him like a small cannonball. She quickly reached out and hugged the little guy, then hugged her up with her arms, and said with a frown : "Why do you run so fast, what if you fall?"

Xiaoying looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Sister Yiyi, I miss you so much."

Chu Yiyi's serious expression immediately turned into a flower, she rubbed Xiaoying's face, "My sister misses Xiaoying so much, you didn't hug me before you entered school in the morning."

After hearing this, Xiaoying laughed out loud, "Then I will definitely remember it tomorrow!"

Chu Yiyi nodded in satisfaction, "That's about the same."

She hugged Xiaoying and nodded to the teacher not far away. Seeing that the other party also smiled back, she turned and left.

Xiaoying was sitting in the back row with her schoolbag in her arms, her little feet turned up and she said, "We have an art class today. I like art class the most!"

Chu Yiyi smiled and replied, "What did Xiaoying draw today?"

Xiaoying blinked her eyes and said, "I drew a family portrait."

Chu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, she looked back at Xiaoying with some unease, and then quickly turned around, "Then, is Xiaoying finished painting?"

Xiaoying nodded vigorously, "I want to go home and watch it with my mother!"

Chu Yiyi nodded and said hello.

After dinner, Xiaoying took her mother to her small desk.

Chu Yiyi also stood aside, looking at the painting she took out, her eyes suddenly became hot.

She bent down and looked at the painting of three people sitting together upright.

Xiaoying has drawn a lot of pictures of three people together before, but this is the first time that she wrote the words "family" on it.

Xu Min reached out and patted Chu Yiyi's back lightly.

Xiaoying raised her face and said to Chu Yiyi, "Our teacher said that a family is someone who is always together. I want to be with my mother all the time, and I want to be with sister Yiyi all the time."

Chu Yiyi's heart trembled, and tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Xiaoying quickly reached out and hugged her, and said softly: "Sister Yiyi will always be with her mother, right?"

Chu Yiyi hummed and hugged Xiaoying tightly.

Xu Min stretched out her hand and hugged one big and one small. She kissed Xiaoying's hair and Chu Yiyi's too.

When the teacher called her in the afternoon, he talked about the family portrait.

Xiaoying pointed to Chu Yiyi in the photo, and told the teacher seriously, "This is the person who loves me like my mother."
