Chapter Nineteenth: Flying thousands of miles just to see you

  "Come on, come on, I'm still afraid you won't make it? Hmm, just right, haven't exercised in a long time, feeling a bit itchy. Zhan Doudou thought Xia Feichan was calling him to hurry back home and didn't think of anything else, continuing to eat, send, and shiver."

  "Is Xia Fei Han also your classmate?" An Zhi Jie looked at Zhan Yu's complacent expression, then glanced at An Ran's sulky face, and suddenly understood. Could this kid be unhappy because a rival in love has appeared?

  Was the confession last time not entirely a joke? I remember when they were young, sometimes they really liked each other but couldn't bring themselves to admit it. An Ran is still a bit like me in this regard.

  "Oh, Fei Han is a family friend, the kids grew up together since they were young, and they're very close." Jiang Xin Yue explained softly. She also really enjoyed the current atmosphere, for the first time discovering that one's mood could indeed affect their taste buds, although it was still Waru Waru's cooking, but today it tasted especially delicious.

  "Oh, childhood friends." An Zhijie used a more suitable relationship positioning: "What's up, want to go out tonight?" His son didn't dare ask, so his father asked for him. This generation of parents is already quite open-minded, although Anran still seems a bit young, but he has already reached an age where he can understand love.

  "Hah! He dared to challenge me to a fight tonight, what a pity, if the mountains weren't high and the emperor far away, I wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson. " Zhan Dandan shook her head regretfully, waving her small fist. After Xia Feichan left, she really felt like an invincible hand that had fought its way across the land, and was even thinking of changing her name to Du Gu Dandan."

  An Ran had also heard about the Xia brothers going abroad, but it was just a text message... An Ran suddenly became vigilant, what did Wanzai and Xia Feihan's text messages have to do with her?

  Why did he just have an urge to dig deeper?

  Zhan Zhan picked up the wine glass, just wanting to have a good time, but his phone suddenly beeped with an incoming text message, and music started playing. Zhan Zhan helplessly rolled his eyes and answered: "Hey, Xia Bu Leng, what's your hurry?"

  Hurry up... Someone suddenly thought crookedly, this is generally used more often at a certain time.

  "Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..." But instead, a cold and gloomy countdown echoed in the midst of this grand Mid-Autumn Festival, which was extremely out of tune.

  Suddenly, Zhan felt something was off. She opened her phone and took a closer look at the screen. Yeah, it was Xia Fei Han, no mistake, but... why was it a domestic number?

  She stored his overseas phone number under the same name, so she naturally thought he was calling her from abroad. If it's domestic, then... Xia Fei Han jumped up: "Xia Fei Han! You're back in the country?"

  "Eighteen, seventeen, sixteen..." The response was a mechanical countdown.

  Zhan Zhan's brush stood up, almost knocking over the chair, fortunately, An Ran was beside him and helped to steady it. Ignoring everyone's gaze, Zhan Zhan quickly ran out of the house: "Xia Fei Han, where are you?"

  "Ten, nine, eight..."

  The warbler didn't even have time to answer the phone, and rushed out of the yard quickly. Tens of meters away, on the plank bridge outside the gate, a car was parked with its headlights on. Through the bright moonlight, a familiar figure could be seen beside the car, exuding an air of laziness and coolness that seemed to dominate the world. Who else but Xia Feichan?

  "It's not summer yet!" Zhang Dandan shouted with joy, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart. Just a moment ago, she had looked down on him and wanted to fight with him, but when he appeared before her, she found herself feeling incredibly happy.

  She sprinted and dashed, the three-meter-high iron gate was nothing to her. There was no need to unlock the door, she directly climbed up like a spirit monkey, and when she reached the top, Xia Fei Han had already left the car and stood under the gate.

  "Xia Fei Han!" Zhan Er shouted again, leaping down and opening her arms to hug Xia Fei Han, who spun around to dissipate the impact.

  The empty arms were suddenly filled, and the real existence made Xia Fei a little dizzy. He was even more afraid that all of this was just a dream. Holding her in his arms, he didn't realize he had used a bit more strength.

  That day, after watching the video online with Zhan Yu, he felt suffocated by her artificial breathing and couldn't breathe. Zhan Yu still had a defiant look on his face and deliberately said some provocative words to stimulate him. Didn't she know that in their battles, he was always one spark away from exploding? The result of extreme anger was that he immediately went online and bought an air ticket.

  After the war ended, he regained his sanity and could only stare blankly.

  If I just came back like this, what does it represent?

  Xia didn't dare to think deeply about this issue. After repeated consideration in her heart, she finally made up her mind that since the tickets were already bought, then so be it.

  Anyway, Xia Zhi is not around for the time being, right? It just so happens to be Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't it? As a filial and loving child, he takes advantage of the holiday to return home, what's the big deal about that?

  Nor is it for her that he came back...

  The hug lasted only for a moment, Xia Fei Han looked at the three figures coming out of the gate in the distance, her mind cleared, took another deep breath, smelled all the scents on her body, and then coolly let go of her - um, threw her off.

  "Xia Fei isn't cold, how did you come back? Where's Xia Zhi Gege?" After War Doudou's surprise and delight passed, she began to worry about another person. She naturally thought that since the two brothers went out together, they should have returned together.

  As expected... Xia Fei's face, which had just slightly relaxed, instantly froze again. She was always able to completely reverse his emotions with just one or two sentences. "How is it that I'm not enough trouble for you by coming back alone? You've made progress, huh? It's only been a little over a month since Xia Zhi left, and you're already running to other people's homes to reunite?"

  In the past, every Mid-Autumn Festival, there would always be a meal at Xia's house, and it was always lively and joyful because everyone in their hearts treated her like one of their own family members. Is she now treating herself as one of An Jia's family members? He didn't know about the progress between Xiao Yi and An Zhi Jie, but looking at it, her progress with An Ran seemed to be going very quickly.

  I really underestimated An Ran that kid, it seems that the words spoken at the graduation ceremony were not in vain, he really has talent.

  "Cut, you little chicken intestines, I also went to visit my uncle and aunt today, as well as grandpa... " He cautiously glanced back, confirming that the three people at the entrance couldn't hear his voice: "Isn't this creating an opportunity for Little Aunt?"

  "Isn't it creating opportunities for yourself?" Xia Feihan's tone was sour to the extreme.

  Zhan punched Xia Fei's chest with a fist and said in a low voice: "Xia Bucuo! Your IQ has been eaten away by American imperialism, hasn't it? I warn you again, don't! doubt! my! loyalty! to! Xia! Zhi! Ge! Ge!"

  "Don't underestimate my determination to replace Xia Zhi and supervise you!" Xia Fei Han finally found a stance that could explain why he was so: "I'm telling you, War, everything you do normally will be recorded, if I catch even a little bit of evidence, you'll never set foot in the Xia family's door again!"

  "Cut it out, I'm really scared of you." Zhan Zhu Zhu said, but in her heart, she still had a small doubt. What if one day something was said to Xia Zhi Gege and he believed Xia Fei Han instead of herself? What if one day she and Xia Fei Han became irreconcilable and it came down to choosing between them, who would Xia Zhi Gege choose then?

  The answer is obvious, and the answer is also tragic. According to Xia Zhige's personality, brotherly love is innate and unchangeable, while romantic love is acquired and controllable, which is obviously extremely unfavorable to himself.

  It's not cold in the dead of summer, but he's holding a chicken feather as if it were an imperial edict. Why does he always have to be so self-contradictory? Why is he always nitpicking and finding fault with himself? It's ironic that she was still feeling happy when she saw him just now.

  "It's good that you're afraid, be careful and restrain your own behavior." Xia Fei Han coolly threw down a threatening sentence, then looked at the three people in the distance, furrowed his brow: "Are you full?"

  "I'm not full from eating, but I'm full of anger because of you." Zhan Zhu Zhu muttered to herself, comforting her own heart. Forget it, considering he came back from so far away, don't be too calculating with him... Does it matter if someone is supervising or not? As long as the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, isn't that right? As long as I don't foolishly report to him again, everything will be fine.

  Woe is me, it seems that all of this is still my own doing. When there's nothing to do, some people talk about artificial respiration, but certain individuals have a warped worldview and fundamentally don't have the possibility of communication, can't exchange ideas at all.

  "Get on." Xia Fei Han gave a two-word command and then got on the car by himself, he didn't want to be treated like a monkey here.

  ...others eat half of their meal...... Zhan Doudou hummed, looking at his back, with an urge to rush in and knead the dough, but calm down, calm down. Taking a deep breath, Zhan Doudou turned around and leaned against the gate, waving his hand through the iron door: "Uncle An, Auntie, Xiong Anan, you eat slowly, I have something to do and will leave first! Oh, Uncle An, Auntie can't drink much, so please pay attention when driving later!"

  A person with a sense of justice and responsibility, even if they leave, should create opportunities for their teammates. Comrade Xiao Yi only drank one can of beer, which is nothing compared to the Jiang family's heroic drinking capacity, but I just hope that Xiao Yi can understand my hint, be gentle, and give men a chance to show off.

  Yuè from afar waved her hand in greeting towards Cháo.

  Zhan ran up to the car and sat in the passenger seat, then glared at Xia Fei Han: "You're really rude."

  He was like that from the start, did you expect him to loudly greet An Ran? The only sound above forty decibels he makes is yelling at her.

  Xia Hancheng let out a cold hum, stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly retreated backwards, scaring Zhan Yu into hastily fastening his seatbelt.

  "Be careful! It's so dark and narrow, slow down or you'll fall into the water!"

  Xia Fei turned his head and looked at her, a cold smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you good at saving people? Let me see how you do CPR."

  The object of artificial respiration was Xiong An'an, and Zhan Zhu really didn't think about anything else at that time. The starting point was indeed the intention to save people. But now, suddenly thinking of artificial respiration, the object is still Xia Fei Han... Zhan Zhu lost his mind and looked at Xia Fei Han's evil smile and slightly hooked mouth corners, his face suddenly turned a little red in the dark, and he cleared his throat: "Pfft! You're going to fall into the water, I'll definitely kick you two feet down, drown you, you big bad guy."

  Xia Fei's face lengthened, leaning against the wall. "Don't worry, who will be kicked is still uncertain." Don't think that it's still like when they were young, he couldn't beat her in any sport. After feeling ashamed and then becoming brave, with age growing, he has surpassed her in many aspects.

  She didn't know, it was just because he still habitually gave in to her.

  The car was quiet for a while, but Zhan Yu couldn't help it anymore. He threw away his earlier annoyance and sat cross-legged in the front seat, turning to face him: "Hey, Xia Fei Han, how did you come back? Isn't China's National Day over in the US? What about your classes? Why didn't Xia Zhi Gege come back with you?"

  "Shut up!" Xia Fei Han impatiently shifted her head to the side, she was too close and affecting his mood, vision, and judgment: "I'm filial so I came back for Mid-Autumn Festival, unlike some people who like to stay out; although America doesn't celebrate China's National Day, there are normally holidays on weekends; such trivial matters as classes should be what someone with your brainpower worries about, you don't need to concern yourself with it; Xia Zhi spent the weekend following his teacher Quzhou Fei, and temporarily didn't have time to come back."

  Every question has been answered, although the tone is not very good and there are mocking elements in it, but Zhan Yu has already gotten used to it. Has he ever said anything nice to him?

  It's nothing, so it's fair this way.

  "When did you get home? Why didn't you notify me earlier?" Zhan Tuan was a bit annoyed, now Xia Fei Han, no matter what, could be classified as "having friends come from afar is also a joy".

  "Are you kidding me? Are you going to roll out a red carpet and bring flowers to pick me up at the airport?" Xia Fei Han sneered.

  "...I'll make an anonymous call to the airline and tell them there's a bomb on board, so they have to turn back. That way, you won't pollute our great nation's soil!" Warlord Wartime suddenly felt that speaking like this was really refreshing, since Xia Fei had left, he hadn't had anywhere to use his eloquence.

  Chess is fun when you meet a worthy opponent. Boya met Ziqi... and so on, she thought this way, was she acknowledging that Xia Feihan is her soulmate?

  Pfft pfft pfft, they belong to another category, a familiar and formidable enemy who has won a hundred battles.

  "Don't you know that rumormongers will be arrested? Not reading newspapers or going online, but every day talking about the party and country with their mouths, yet not caring about national affairs at all?" Xia Fei Han is not Xiong An An. When dealing with Zhan Yu Yu, he was at a loss for what to do. In defeating Zhan Yu Yu, he had many painful experiences, but also many successful precedents.

  "I'm still a minor, I don't have the right to vote or stand for election, what's it got to do with me?! My task now is to study hard and accumulate knowledge for the scientific development of our country, you understand nothing!" Xia Feichuan was furious. It seemed that his own skills had become rusty from lack of practice, while Xia Fei was making rapid progress.

  She didn't know that more than three months was enough for many things to happen. In the past, Xia Fei's cold face when facing her was even more repressed and controlled, but from the start of tutoring, everything seemed to have changed a bit, little by little falling into a trap, little by little getting closer, until now, he couldn't help himself when facing her.

  "Oh, are you still third from the bottom? Have you made progress to second from the bottom?" Xia Fei Han was very familiar with her situation. Don't think that only she would write emails to Xia Zhi, he also had a clever and lively little sister who, although she disliked electronic products, still maintained a weekly report email.

  "It's not cold in summer!" The warthog's hair stood on end.

  This indicates that in this paragraph, he won.

  Xia Fei's gentle smile lit up the bright moonlight.

  His stern face suddenly softened, and the fleeting brilliance that flashed there made two idioms instantly appear in his mind: One smile could conquer a city, another could conquer a country.

  Monster... On Mid-Autumn Night when the moon is full... Who will capture the monster?

  This sudden distraction interrupted the anger process that had just started, and automatically triggered another process. The good thing about having a coarse nerve is that it has a wide channel, and emotions come and go quickly.

  "Hey, you haven't told me when you're arriving home and when you're leaving?"

  "The plane arrives at twelve, and I'll be home by one. The plane leaves again tomorrow morning at nine." Xia Fei Han is in a good mood now, so he doesn't plan to take advantage of the situation and responds briefly to her words.

  "Wow, you're in such a hurry, aren't you tired?" Zhan knew that this flight would take over 18 hours, crossing tens of thousands of miles and flying across half the globe: "You said just come back for such a short event, video is fine."

  "Mind your own business." Watching videos, how can it be so realistic as if we were meeting in person?

  "Cut, I'm helping Uncle and Aunt to save money, do you think flying back and forth doesn't cost anything?" Zhan Liuliang abruptly put away the little tenderness he had just shown, for Xia Feihan, these emotions were all superfluous.

  "I've been spending my own money since high school, unlike some people." Xia Fei Han was quite confident. As a highly intelligent child prodigy, there were many ways to make money, weren't there? Especially with his interests in car modification and computer programming.

  "... I, I also have bonuses," Waru Waru was a bit guilty, the martial arts competition prize money was really pitiful, it was practically a consolation prize: "Uh, I don't even pay tuition fees when I'm in school, and during holidays I do hard labor under my old man..." She was actually very independent, but people were just envious of her.

  "Isn't it enough for you to eat, Big Stomach King?" Xia Fei Han was naturally clear about the situation with Zhan Zhu Zhu.

  "Cut it out, yeah, my stomach's huge, what's up, I'm telling you, just now I ate half a meal and still wasn't full, you're gonna have to compensate me." Zhan Dandan was straightforward and didn't care about appearances in front of him.

  Xia Fei slowed down a bit and then reached back to grab a box from the back seat, tossing it into her lap.

  "What is it?" Warmed by the exquisite packaging, Xiāo Liǎng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately turned to Mǎ Pì Qiáng: "A gift for me? Wow, Brother Fēi, you're doing great this time!"

  Xia Fei Han rarely didn't answer, humming a low tone in his nose to cover up his emotions. He brought gifts, so he could use the excuse of giving gifts to see her openly and justifiably, couldn't he?

  The war has already been demolished, oh my, purely English can't be understood, it's too high-end and atmospheric: "Ah, chocolate!" Although I don't quite understand what good chocolate is, Xia Fei Han chose it, so it must be the best.

  Zhan Zhan picked one up without hesitation and popped it into his mouth. What was that advertisement saying? Silky smooth, melts in your mouth? Zhan Zhan's eyes narrowed in delight as he asked Xia Fei Han, "Brother Fei Han, do you want some?"

  As soon as she shouted, although it was a bit uncomfortable, her whole body felt very relaxed. Xia Feihan looked at her slender fingers pinching the chocolate and hesitated for a moment before taking a bite.

  I want to eat you.

  Digression

  Is there a very artistic name? Haha, the fan is an artistic young woman! Has she been moved by the little brother? …… That, of course, if the little brother can be less arrogant and less hard-mouthed, it would be even better. The fan really wishes he wouldn't come back anymore.

  Cough cough, this wasn't in the original outline, was it? It's because many girls missed Xiao Ge so much that they added it temporarily. Is there any praise for me?
