Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 426: Longing for Love (40)

The next morning, Xuan came to the West District alone and knocked on the edge of the barrier. It was like a modern doorbell and the sound could be heard from inside.

This was exactly the time when Xiaoyao usually got up. She yawned and came to the edge of the barrier.

"Who is it? What are you doing here so early in the morning? My parents are not at home these days."

"It's me, Xuan." Xuan responded in a low voice, and he even touched the fox tail in his sleeve a little nervously.

When Xiaoyao heard the name of Xixuan, she instantly woke up and all her sleepiness disappeared. "Brother Xixuan?"

"Well, it's me."

Xiaoyao walked out of the barrier and looked at him calmly, "Brother Xuan, why are you here?"

Xuan looked at Xiaoyao and said, "I'm here to pick you up."

"I am living a good life here now. I have parents and friends..."

"I'm sorry. I clearly said that I would go to Yushan to pick you up. However, not long after you left, I was sent to Haoling as a hostage. Later, I learned that you were missing after escaping Yushan, so I have been looking for you. This is the last place I came to. During this time, I was also chased by people sent by Uncle Wang, so I found you only now."

"Brother Xuan, are you okay?" Xiao Yao asked nervously, pulling his sleeve.

"I'm fine, Xiaoyao. Over the years, I have developed some power, but it is still not enough to compete with Uncle Wang and the others. Now that I have found you, I don't have to run around anymore. Since you like it here, let's live here!" Xuan looked at Xiaoyao and said seriously.

Xiaoyao bit her lip, feeling a little conflicted. She knew she was a little indecisive, and she didn't know what they should do, after all, they had been separated for so many years.

Xiaoyao looked up at Xuan, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"Brother Xuan, I don't know if I can still trust you like before... After all, we have been separated for so long."

Xuan sighed softly, he understood Xiaoyao's concerns.

"Xiaoyao, I know this will take time. But I am still your brother Xuan, and I will live here for a long time. I live across from the Rabbit Spirit now."

Xiaoyao felt a little relieved after hearing what Dixuan said. She nodded, "Okay, Brother Dixuan, now, you go back first! I should go back to do my morning lessons now."

Xuan agreed to Xiaoyao's request with a smile. He reached out and ruffled Xiaoyao's hair. "Well, then you go in! I'll leave first. Come find me when you have time."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao responded and turned back.

After watching Xiaoyao's back disappear into the barrier, Xuan turned and left.

Xiao Yao returned to the room and sat at the desk. Thinking about what had just happened, she couldn't help feeling a little upset.

She really wanted to believe everything Xuan said, but her reason told her not to.

Brother Xuan already has someone by his side, and he no longer needs her company. The two siblings have not seen each other for hundreds of years, and they no longer have the familiarity and intimacy they once had with each other.

However, for a period of time afterwards, Xiaoyao deliberately forgot about Xuan's existence and did not look for him.

Even when she went out, she went to Jishidiang most often.

"Xiaobei, here I come."

"Come if you want! And don't call me Xiaobei. You can call me by my name or call me Doctor Fangfeng."

"I won't. I'll just call, Xiaobei, Xiaobei..."

Xiao Yao screamed as she retreated backwards, and then bumped into the man who came out of the house.

Xiaoyao turned around and apologized without even looking up: "Um, I'm sorry, I bumped into you, are you hurt?"

"It's ok."

"Huh~that's good." Xiao Yao let out a long breath and patted his chest with a look of relief.

Seeing her confused look, Fang Fengbei rolled his eyes in his heart, "The person you bumped into is the one you brought back some time ago."

"Ah~Oh." Xiao Yao then looked up at the man and discovered that he was quite tall and a good-looking guy.

"Hello, young lady! Thank you for rescuing me that day. I am very grateful." Tu Shanjing bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. Besides, it wasn't me who saved you. I just brought you to the clinic." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Then she ignored Tu Shanjing and said, "I'm not here to see him. I'm just bored at home and came to chat with you. Let him pay for his medical expenses himself."

"I didn't ask you to pay for him. Besides, he paid for the medical expenses after he woke up."

"Then why does he still live here?"

"Why do you care? He pays a lot of money!"

"Oh, what's for lunch today?"

"How would I know? You have nothing to do, so why don't you go see the patient yourself? I have a patient here, go have some fun!"

Having said that, Fang Fengbei stopped paying attention to her.

Xiao Yao turned and walked towards the backyard. As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of food floating in the air.
