Chapter 40 He is My Brother (1)

  I didn't notice myself, but when my self-awareness shifted from pessimism to optimism, a faint smile was drawn at the corner of my mouth, with a hint of danger. I blinked, took a deep breath, and was about to step into the house when I met Xia Mu's stunned gaze. His eyes were bright and spirited, and when he saw me looking at him, he smiled shyly and quickly looked away. This unusual reaction made me think of my own actions just now - could it be because of the smile on my face?

  I lowered my head, secretly sticking out my tongue at myself. I'm really a person who can't hide emotions. When I encounter intense emotional fluctuations, my temper will develop in an extreme direction. My smile just now... well, maybe it was a bit evil. Xia Mu Cheng looked around the surrounding scenery and then refocused his gaze on me. I smiled warmly at him with a gentle, warm smile. He was taken aback for a moment, hesitated, and then returned my warm smile. Then he reached out his hand to me.

  "Thank you." Just like the first time we met, I took off my shoes and tiptoed towards him with my hand extended. The brief friction between our palms brought a faint warmth. Before I could exclaim in surprise, I was already standing on the steps, bending down to reach for the shoes far away, my fingertips brushing against the toe of the shoe.

  I want to try again, and just as I was about to make a move, Xia Mu Cheng, who was originally standing beside me, suddenly said in my ear, "I'll do it."

  The tall person quickly succeeded in getting the shoes, I insisted on grabbing my own leather shoes, putting the toe outward and arranging them at the side of the door, and when standing up again, said another sentence, "Thank you."

  Xia Mu Tong glared at me with wide eyes and puffed out his chest, saying "I'm your older brother!"

  It's true, a family of four saying thank you at the same time is indeed a bit strange. I made a knowing gesture, like a spoiled younger sister teasing her older brother. Xia Mu Cheng reached out to put his hand on my head, with the usual habit of wanting to mess up my hair, but was immediately withdrawn due to the sudden sound that broke in.

  I didn't have time to react, the scholar hastily took a few steps inside, following behind him, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Auntie Cheng standing at the other end looking over here.

  "Tangerine, why are you just coming back now? Hurry up and come in!" Auntie Cheng's anxious voice made me think of the text message my father sent. Had something serious happened at home? I also quickened my pace, and as I walked through the corridor, I met Auntie Cheng's gaze. She looked at me with a rare smile and said, "Weiwei, you're back! Hurry up and go in, your dad is waiting for you in the hall."
