The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 262

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Xie Weiyu walked over leisurely, supporting her mother. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was soft but firm:

"If you don't mind, my benefactor, I am willing to serve you in return for saving my life."

Xie Weiyu's father's words were shocking enough to Qiao Xi, but she didn't expect that Xie Weiyu herself had such thoughts.

Is she attracted to Xu Yi?

But this is not repaying a favor at all. This family is probably repaying kindness with enmity.

Putting aside whether Xu Yi is willing to marry her or not, Xie Weiyu's parents haven't even confirmed whether their daughter is still innocent, yet they want her to marry Xu Yi?

Even though his own world didn't care much about innocence, it was still very important to this world.

What if she really lost her innocence? They just saved her by chance. Why should Xu Yi suffer this injustice?

Also, with Xu Yi's current status, if he wants to act as a matchmaker, he can find a very good girl.

The key point is that Xu Yi doesn't like her.

Thinking of "like", Qiao Xi suddenly became uncertain.

She subconsciously looked at Xu Yi, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

Xu Yi was slightly stunned, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He was about to refuse, but Qiao Xi took the lead.

"We need to think this through carefully." Qiao Xi's voice was cold and firm, as if carrying a hint of unquestionable strength. "Miss Xie has just escaped danger. I'm sure she was quite frightened and has some injuries. You should rest well first."

After saying that, she gently pulled Xu Yi's sleeve, signaling him to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing this, Xie Weiyu and her family felt that it was indeed inappropriate to talk about this matter now, so they quickly stopped the topic, thanked them again and again, and watched the two of them leave.

As I walked out of Xie Weiyu's house, the morning breeze blew on my face, bringing a hint of fresh air.

Gradually, pedestrians appeared on the street, and occasionally there were shouts from the morning market.

Xu Yi and Qiao Xi walked side by side, neither of them spoke, as if they were waiting for the other to break the silence.

After a long while, Qiao Xi asked softly, "What... do you think?"

Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid to disturb the tranquility of the early morning, but there was also a hint of nervousness that was hard to conceal.

Xu Yi stopped and turned to look at her.

The morning light shone on his profile, outlining his angular features.

His eyes were full of tenderness, as if there were stars twinkling in them.

Because they were outside, Xu Yi didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He quietly hooked Qiao Xi's little finger and whispered:

"In fact, there is already someone in my heart, and no one else is worthy of my attention."

Hearing this, and thinking of his previous overly intimate behavior towards her, Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

She lowered her head and said "hmm" softly. The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but she felt sweet in her heart.

Seeing this, Xu Yi raised a smile.

He gently tugged at her hand and whispered, "You've been busy all night, you must be tired. Let's go home."

The two smiled at each other and walked towards the rising sun side by side.

The morning light shines on them, lengthening their shadows, as if silently telling their story.

But there was a dark cloud that was a little tactless and was slowly approaching the shining morning sun.

The streets gradually became lively, but the two figures in the distance did not stop at all and continued to move forward. It seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world, quiet and beautiful.

……

When they got home, Xu Yi and Qiao Xi had a clear division of labor, and the two seemed to have returned to their old way of getting along.

It seemed as if the thrilling experience of catching the bad guys and saving people last night was just a vague dream, leaving no trace in life, except for the sudden increase in the amount of money in the bank.

However, subtle changes quietly grew between the two.

They were obviously much closer to each other than before. The tacit understanding in their words and the concern in their eyes were like the spring sun, warm and gentle.

As dusk fell, the copper bells on the eaves rang softly in the evening breeze.

Xu Yi put the last pile of books in order and looked up to see Qiao Xi pushing the door open with a bamboo basket.

There were a few petals of osmanthus on her temples, and her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her skin, which was tinted honey by the setting sun.

I don’t know if it was due to the setting sun, but two red clouds slowly appeared on Xu Yi’s cheeks.

"Some fishermen caught some river saury at the market today, and I picked a fat one."

Although her mother-in-law and her family have not eaten meat for a long time, Qiao Xi thinks that she can just stay awake for a few months because Xu Yi needs nutrition for his studies. Besides, if her mother-in-law knew about this, she probably wouldn't mind.

She put the fish into the ceramic basin, and water droplets splashed on the blue bricks, leaving dark marks.

Xu Yi looked at the happy fish flopping in the pottery basin, then looked at Qiao Xi beside him, pursed his lips, and sighed softly:

"It's better not to eat this fish. It's not long until the one-year deadline. Can you be patient for a while?"

After hearing this, Qiao Xi's desire to eat meat instantly disappeared.

She wanted to persuade him again, but when she looked up, she saw Xu Yi with an embarrassed look on his face, so she had to give up.

In order to dispel Xu Yi's embarrassment quickly, Qiao Xi laughed twice, patted Xu Yi's shoulder, and said in a light voice:

"I was just kidding. I bought this fish because it was too lively when I was shopping for vegetables. I thought it would be a shame if someone else ate it. There's no other living creatures in our house except you and me, so this fish is just right. It brings some life to the house."

She pushed the basket forward and said, "Here, this is what we're going to eat today!"

Seeing Xu Yi looking down at the basket in her hand, Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel lucky that she had made two preparations when buying vegetables, otherwise she would have to go to the vegetable market again.

But the most important thing is not whether to run away or not, but what to do if Xu Yi thinks she is greedy again because of this. Although she has not eaten fresh fish for a long time, she is really greedy.

Three days later, the sudden rain stopped and a layer of water shimmered on the bluestone slabs.

The knock on the door startled the birds taking shelter under the eaves, and three people were standing outside the door.

Qiao Xi and Xu Yi were cleaning the yard after the rain. When they heard a knock on the door, Qiao Xi was the first to open it.

When she opened the door, she saw Xie Weiyu, whom they had rescued a few days ago, and her parents standing outside.

The Xie family members were all smiling, holding a wide variety of gifts in their hands, and their words were full of gratitude.

Especially Xie Weiyu on the side. Ever since Qiao Xi opened the door, her eyes have never left Xu Yi for a moment since she saw him.

Xie Weiyu was taught by her mother since she was a child that women should not stare at other men for a long time, otherwise it would be too rude and frivolous.

But her eyes seemed to have their own consciousness. She knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't look away.

The first time she saw Xu Yi that night, she felt that he was different from ordinary people, and he was handsome, something she had never seen before. Or she dared to say that there was probably no such handsome man in the entire Lingxiao City.

And he was her savior.

After hearing the news her father asked someone to bring her yesterday, she realized that Xu Yi was indeed not an ordinary person.

He was not a native of Lingxiao City, but was temporarily living here for the purpose of studying.

It turned out that he was a scholar who was devoted to learning and preparing to take part in the provincial examination.

For a scholar, being able to take part in the provincial examination is already a great achievement.

If he passes the provincial examination, the next step will be the metropolitan examination, and then the palace examination.

After the palace examination, no matter how big or small the position is, you will definitely be an official.

Thinking of this, a different light flashed in Xie Weiyu's eyes. The girl's thoughts quietly sprouted at this moment, and she became more and more convinced that the scholar in front of her was the man she would entrust her life to.
