Chapter 451 Night Chat

After the meal, Xu Changping looked up at the two sisters who were full, and said with a smile: "There is digestive tea on the tea table. Drink some later and digest it before going to rest."

"Okay." Yang Xiaoyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and nodded gently.

She carried Xiao Mi to the sofa, settled her down, poured her a cup of digestive tea, and then turned around to help clean up the dining table and the kitchen.

When Xu Changping looked up and saw Yang Xiaoyue offering to help, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just secretly quickened the pace of cleaning the dishes in his hands.

With the two of them working together, the dining table and kitchen were soon tidy.

However, when they finished all the cleaning work and returned to the main room, they found that Xiao Mi had fallen asleep on the sofa without them knowing it.

The little guy curled up quietly, looking very adorable.

Looking at the sleeping Xiao Mi, Xu Changping said softly to Yang Xiaoyue: "Since Xiao Mi is already asleep, you should also go to bed early."

In fact, Xu Changping wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Yang Xiaoyue about the recent incident where someone was secretly sabotaging someone.

But he looked up at the clock on the wall and found that it was already very late. Thinking that Yang Xiaoyue must be very tired after a night of classes, he swallowed the words back.

However, what Xu Changping did not expect was that Yang Xiaoyue seemed to see his hesitation and actually took the initiative to speak:

"Brother Xu, let me send Xiao Mi home first and come back to see you later." After saying that, Yang Xiaoyue bent down without hesitation and prepared to carry Xiao Mi home.

"Let me do it." Before Xu Changping finished his words, and before Yang Xiaoyue could react, he reached out and hugged her in his arms and walked towards the door.

However, after taking two steps, Xu Changping found that Yang Xiaoyue was still standing there blankly without moving.

He couldn't help but stop and turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at her lovingly and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go open the door!"

"Ah! Ah! Okay...Okay, I'll go right away." Hearing Xu Changping's urging voice, Yang Xiaoyue came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.

She looked at Xu Changping with a complicated look, then quickly walked past him and walked out of the room.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Yang's house. After Yang Xiaoyue opened the door, Xu Xu Changping did not let Yang Xiaoyue fight back, but gently put Xiao Mi on the bed and turned to walk out.

Yang Xiaoyue walked silently to the bed, first gently took off Xiao Mi's shoes and coat, and then carefully covered her with a quilt.

After doing all this, she stared at the sleeping Xiao Mi quietly for a while, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and then she slowly got up and left the room.

Outside the house, the bright moonlight poured down like mercury, covering the entire yard.

Bathed in this silver light, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but recall Xu Changping's series of natural and extremely skillful movements just now. An indescribable emotion suddenly surged in her heart, and her eyes instantly became moist.

After many years and many vicissitudes of life, she felt as if at that moment, the two sisters had finally found a harbor they could rely on. The sense of security and belonging was so real and strong.

Although Xu Changping treated them very well before, that kind of kindness without any reason made Yang Xiaoyue's heart still feel adrift and helpless.

Until today, when Xu Changping made that unintentional action, it was like a flash of lightning that streaked across the night sky, instantly shattering the heavy shackles that bound Yang Xiaoyue's heart.

At that moment, she finally felt that the man in front of her was trustworthy and reliable.

Just as Yang Xiaoyue was immersed in this hard-earned feeling of being touched, Xu Changping's sudden voice suddenly disrupted her thoughts: "What are you doing standing at the door? Is there gold growing on the ground?"

"Silver has grown." Yang Xiaoyue retorted angrily. This guy is so annoying. The touch she just felt disappeared in an instant.

"Hehe, come into the house quickly, the northwest wind is not pleasant." Facing Yang Xiaoyue's anger, Xu Changping was not annoyed. Instead, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out his hand and gently pulled Yang Xiaoyue into the house.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xiaoyue tried to break free from Xu Changping's hand, but the strength difference was too great. She gave up resisting after a slight struggle and let him pull her to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you something." Xu Changping had a gentle smile on his face and looked at Yang Xiaoyue intently.

The mysterious black shadow that appeared at the entrance of the alley has been lingering in his mind. While Xiao Mi has fallen asleep, he thinks it is the right time to get to the bottom of it.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Yang Xiaoyue casually glanced at the cup full of digestive tea in front of her, then turned her gaze to Xu Changping, and at the same time reached out to pick up the teacup, took a sip and slowly swallowed it.

Xu Changping hesitated for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, and then he asked carefully, "Um... is there anyone in your night school who wants to make progress together with you?"

While speaking, he would glance at Yang Xiaoyue from time to time, observing her reaction.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue answered without any hesitation, "Not now."

In fact, before this, there were indeed people pursuing her, but after she said that she had a fiancé and that even this precious night school place was secured by her fiancé, those suitors gave up one after another.

After hearing Yang Xiaoyue's answer, Xu Changping's already tense expression not only did not show any signs of relaxing, but instead became even more solemn.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again with a serious expression: "Did anything strange happen to you at school today?"

When Yang Xiaoyue heard his words, she slowly put down the teacup in her hand, sat up straight and asked, "What is considered a special thing?"

Xu Changping frowned, thought for a moment and explained: "It's something different from usual, like someone inviting you to dinner, or actively lending you something you don't need."

Yang Xiaoyue fell into a brief contemplation after hearing this. After a long while, she shook her head and replied, "I didn't find anything strange! Tell me what happened."

Xu Changping held Yang Xiaoyue's hand and told her about the infirmary and what was dug out in the backyard today.

Finally, he said seriously, "This group of people has great power. Be careful when you are in school and don't let them frame you."
