Chapter 48 of Volume 1: There is always a tacit understanding between people

  "Our ordinary family really can't withstand such storms, just like a house on the verge of collapse after a violent storm, desperately repairing itself every day, but still leaking rain, until one day a gentle breeze will shatter it into pieces, and this home will truly be destroyed." Qier said in a low voice, her eyes swelling up with tears again. Mo Xiao Xi's heart ached as she hugged Su Qier tightly.

  "Mo Xiao, why didn't you drive and yet you're so late?"

  "Oh, I had a falling out with my dad and now I don't have money for the bus."

  "What's going to happen now?"

  "It's okay, after all I'm still his son."

  "Mo Xiao is really sorry, we found you as a brother, but always have to ask for your help in solving our financial problems."

  "Beggar, don't take it to heart. Money can solve everything that's not a big deal. Actually, apart from money, I really have nothing else. I'm happy to be able to help you guys. Money is cold, but the hearts you've given me are warm."

  "Nothing to say..."

  "Let's not say anything more, we are brothers." Mo Xiao stretched out one hand and Su Qi'er tightly grasped it. An Junli and Xi Zuo also leaned in, the four people's hands firmly clasped together.

  "Although your family has money, we can't all let you take it. Meng Wei went to Beijing for art class a few days ago, so let's not tell him about it. Da Zi's grandma is not feeling well lately and he can't leave, plus he usually fixes cars to make money on his own, so I didn't notify him either. How about you and Xi Zhu split the cost in half? I'll cover Xi Zhu's share." An Junli called out Mo Xiao while Su Qi'er was asleep.

  "It's not easy for you either, An Junli," Mo Xiao interrupted.

  "I'm just without family, you don't have to sympathize with me financially too. Besides, my mom will be back soon." An Junli said calmly.

  It was late in the day, and Mo Xiao accompanied Su Qi'er to sleep before returning home. Xi Zao stayed behind to accompany Su Qi'er.

  "Junli, the next match is about to start, how's Du Ruo's preparation going?"

  "Well, will her preparation affect the outcome? Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, it's just that some things can't be changed, and how much are you willing to pay for this?"

  "I'll try my best to help, but as for my dad's side, I'm really powerless." Mo Xiao hung his head low, his clothes covered in sweat marks. "Jun Li..."

  "Really?"

  "Do you think Fang Li likes me?"

  "You like it, or else why would we be together?" An Junli hid the light in his eyes in the darkness, afraid that if he raised his head, he would collide with Mo Xiao's judging gaze.

  "But if I were to ask her to resist a family with me, would she still be willing to be with me? Would she be willing to share the joys and sorrows with me, to never leave my side?" Mo Xiao's voice was getting weaker. But An Junli didn't notice any of this, his heart started racing wildly, if Mo Xiao knew that Fang Li had once liked him, it would definitely cause an unavoidable misunderstanding.

  "I don't know." An Junli didn't know how to respond to Mo Xiao, and in his heart, he felt a sense of betrayal towards his brother. For every word that Mo Xiao said next, An Junli only felt dizzy and couldn't hear the waves.

  An Junli hadn't heard the name Fang Li so clearly for a long time, and today when he heard it, his heart still skipped a beat, so strongly.

  But why are there so many things in this world that go wrong, and they have their own misunderstandings that separate the love that should be.

  There is always a kind of tacit understanding between people in this world, which is constantly missing each other.

  An Junli and Fang Li are like this, Su Xia and Meng Xi are like this, and later Meng Xi and Dan Qing may also be like this. In the end, there is a kind of fate that we cannot control, nor can we escape.

  Su Xia said, the Buddha said that in the past five hundred times of looking back, it was exchanged for a brush with shoulders in this life. We must have been too tired from such encounters in our previous lives, so we are destined to miss each other in this life.

  "Su Xia, you haven't missed out, as long as you're willing, Wei Mingyuan will always love you." Fang Li said firmly.

  "But I don't want to place my happiness in fragile love, maybe he loves me now, but neither of us knows what reality will change us into in the near future, and who knows if there won't be something that fascinates us more than love, just like money and power always give us reasons beyond our control."

  "Su Xia, you're hurt too deeply because of your parents' matters, but you have to believe that there are still people in this world who would love you unconditionally, just like us." Du Ruo held Su Xia's hand, with a bright light shining through her eyes. Du Ruo could comfort Su Xia with beautiful words. But how could she herself believe in so much kindness when some people had to pay the price for their good intentions and others paid the bill with their own strength, which was the reality she lived in.

  "I hope so, but I don't dare to easily believe anyone anymore. If even my own father and mother can deceive me for so long, how can I trust a man?"

  "Egg whites aren't good?" Meng Xi said with a happy face.

  "Yes, after all, you are still the luckiest." Fang Li said with envy.

  But the more beautiful the food in front of us, the more confusing it is. No one knows who will laugh last. In the end, no one would have thought that Meng Xi was actually the most miserable one.

  "Hey, Yueyue I have something to ask you." Mo Xiao answered the phone and directly stated his purpose.

  "Your father is like joining hands with our family, maybe we will be together in the future." Yue Yu said calmly, without any hint of impropriety.

  "What do you mean? I have to know what's going on!" Mo Xiao's voice was as cold as a block of ice, his dissatisfaction directly transmitted through the phone to Yue Yue.

  "What's going on? You don't know yet? Then you're really pitiful, your father actually didn't even tell you that he had arranged a marriage for you." Yueyue coldly laughed, both at Mo Xiao and herself.

  "What? You're saying this is you, but what about you and Wei Mingyuan, you... How could you agree to it?"

  "Sorry, Mo Xiao, I have no choice. Wei Mingyuan and I have already broken up, you should break up with Fang Lei too, otherwise I'll tell your dad about it, you know he won't let you off, nor will he let her off." Yue Yue regained her usual arrogant tone in daily life, speaking to Mo Xiao without any politeness.

  Yue Yue certainly liked Wei Mingyuan, and she had also fought for a love without regard for anything. But now, in order to take care of her father, she had no choice but to drag Mo Xiao along with her. He didn't want to burden others either, but in front of his family, he couldn't choose love unconditionally.
