The Xu family searched almost all over the capital until dark, but to no avail.

Xu Xiuyi accompanied Zhong Yaqin. Xu Zhong cried several times during the day and did not eat lunch or dinner. Xu Xiuyi might be worried and anxious, and did not have the appetite to eat.

By midnight, Zhong Yaqin was finally exhausted and fell asleep with one hand on the table. Xu Xiuyi asked the maid to carefully put Zhong Yaqin on the bed, sighed deeply, and left Zhong Yaqin's room.

When something like this happened to the Xu family, Xu Xiuyi naturally couldn't just go back to the Su family. During the day, she had already sent someone home to tell her that she would spend the night at her parents' house.

Now that midnight has passed, there is still no message from Xu Lanqing.

The Xu family has strict tutoring, so even if Xu Lanqing wanted to spend the night outside, she should have sent someone back to say something.

Xu Xiuyi felt slightly uneasy.

When she was returning to her room, she passed by her father's study and saw that the lamp was still lit inside. Thinking that her father was still awake, she knocked on the door and went in.

In the room, under the dim candlelight, Xu Wan's face looked very heavy. He seemed to have aged several years overnight, with a tired look on his face.

Xu Xiuyi stepped forward and gently rubbed his temples.

"Why isn't daddy still asleep?"

"There is no news about your brother yet, how can your father sleep well?"

Poor love for parents in the world, Xu Xiuyi's eyes turned red when she thought of her mother who threatened her with death because the teacher wouldn't let her into the exam room because she was late for the college entrance examination.

"Dad, please take a rest. News will come soon. Didn't you send someone out of the city? Maybe my brother is out of the city."

"I just hope nothing happens to your brother, otherwise I won't be able to face your dead mother. You married an inhumane man and you became a widow at a young age. If your brother has his shortcomings, how can I live?"

There is also a lot of pain in the heart of making a wish, at least he never talks about it lightly. Today Xu Lanqing has not returned home for two nights and does not know where he is going. He is frightened and his heart is very fragile now.

Xu Xiuyi comforted: "My brother is good at martial arts. Dad, don't worry too much. He may have been tied up by something somewhere."

"Hey, where is your sister-in-law, has she gone to bed?"

Xu Xiuyi responded: "Go to sleep."

"You should go to sleep too, you have been tired for a long day."

Xu Xiuyi nodded, but did not worry about making a wish: "Let's make a cup of ginseng tea for Daddy. Daddy will have a rest after drinking it. Maybe there will be news about my brother tomorrow."

Xu wish nodded and sighed deeply: "We have found all the places where we should go. The only one who doesn't know is your brother's friend An Chengshao's family. When it gets dark tomorrow, I will ask people to ask around to make sure he knows."

Where is your brother? Someone in the market saw your brother and Mr. An Cheng meeting each other at the door of the theater."

"Yeah?"

Xu Xiuyi was slightly startled, and soon fell into entanglement.

Should she go to An Chengshao to ask?

She was not willing to see that person again.

Looking at Xu Yuan's heavy face, she finally made a decision.

*

Xu Xiuyi came out of the wish-making room, asked her servants to prepare a sedan, and headed towards the east of the city.

The bustling streets and alleys during the day were completely silent in such a lonely midnight, except for the sound of a sedan and a few methodical footsteps heading east of the city.

After turning two corners and walking for a while, they arrived at the east part of the city. Xu Xiuyi asked the sedan to stop near Anzhai. Without anyone accompanying him, she turned into an alley familiarly.

Standing in front of the door, she had mixed feelings. She stretched out her hand and patted the door gently, but she suddenly realized why she had to come in person. She could have told her address to her servants and asked them to come and ask.

After thinking about it, she turned around. She really didn't want to meet Mr. An Cheng.

However, just as she was about to leave, the door opened and she turned her head. Under the soft moonlight, the man's handsome face broke into her sight.

He had just gotten up. His clothes were loosely worn on his body. His long hair was like ink. A few strands slipped over his shoulders and fell lazily on his chest. When he saw her, he was undoubtedly surprised. There was more joy in his eyes.

.

"Xiu'er."

He blurted out, thinking that she had forgotten her old love after all, but when he saw Xu Xiuyi's cold and frosty face, his heart ached. That kind of face was not the face of lovesickness. It was so distant and cold, and it would make him angry with just one look.

Pushed him thousands of miles away.

"Have you seen my brother? Do you know where my brother is?"

Her tone was cold. Sure enough, he was overthinking it. She came to him at midnight just for Xu Lanqing.

Xu Lanqing disappeared, but he was not surprised at all. He could probably guess who Xu Lanqing was with now. Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell Xu Xiuyi.

He only replied: "I don't know."

After coming here in vain, Xu Xiuyi said indifferently: "If you see my brother, tell him that the family is looking for him and ask him to go home quickly and see you again."

A cold tone without too much emotion.

After saying that, she turned around and left, completely ignoring the man in the door. There was deep sadness and pain in her eyes.

In just a few days, the long-lasting feelings became a fleeting smoke.

An Chengshao didn't believe it no matter what, how could he be willing to do so.

"Stop!" he said. His tone was suppressed as much as possible to prevent his pain and anger from showing at all.

Xu Xiuyi stopped, but did not look back. She said coldly: "What else is there?"

"You really don't care about me at all?"

"kindness!"

The sadness and pain between An Chengshao's brows would make anyone feel distressed if they saw it. Xu Xiuyi could only turn her back to him, her attitude indifferent to the end.

She even felt it was ironic, who was sorry and who was online? Did he really think that after sleeping with him once or twice, she would belong to him from body to heart?

"Is that person that good?"

he asked through gritted teeth.

Xu Xiuyi said lightly: "Yes."

"Then have you ever loved me?"

Xu Xiuyi sneered and replied simply: "No!"

These were just two words, but they were also two sharp blades. They poked a huge bloody hole in An Chengshao's heart. The blood rushed out, bursting out of the embankment, and his internal organs were twitching in pain.

In the end, he could no longer speak. He just said three words in a low voice: "Let's go."

Xu Xiuyi raised her head and took a deep breath. The atmosphere in the alley made her feel depressed. She only managed to keep herself from losing control by holding her clothes in an indifferent manner.

Hearing him say "Let's go," she strode out without looking back, wanting to escape from this alley that made her depressed. However, before she had taken two steps, her arm was suddenly pulled, and she was caught off guard.

Then she fell down and ran into his arms.

She raised her eyes and glared at Mr. An Cheng.

"What are you doing? You'd better let go, or I'll call someone."

An Chengshao's eyes were full of pain, a pain so intense that it couldn't be healed: "Xu Xiuyi, how can you be so cruel?"

Cruelty, who was cruel first, who was ruthless to whom first, who had a new love, who left without saying goodbye.

She was so angry. Why did he dare to pretend like this in front of her?

Well, since he wanted to pretend, she would tear his disguise apart and let him know who owed whom in this relationship.

"Young Master An Cheng, please let me go. I am cruel. When you and Qin Yan were happy, have you ever thought about who was cruel and cruel to whom? Or Young Master An Cheng, you have been holding three wives and four wives from the beginning.

If you think of me as your favorite concubine, then I will tell you that you are dreaming."

An Chengshao was obviously stunned in the distance. It took a long time before he uttered a few words: "You said Qin Yan and I were happy."

"Huh, Mr. An Cheng, why bother pretending anymore? After all, I don't care anymore. You can do whatever you want."

Xu Xiuyi said and withdrew her hand.

His hand that was pulling the cart was extremely heavy and had been injured during the day. The pain was severe. She rubbed her hand and looked up at An Chengshao coldly: "Between you and me, this is just a dream.

To me, it's a nightmare. If you think it's a sweet dream, it's time to wake up now. Goodbye."

"Xiu Yi!" An Chengshao blocked her way with a stride. The wind blew by, blowing bursts of lotus fragrance. His hair, with the gentle breeze, swept onto Xu Xiu Yi's cheek, like that

He is as gentle as he used to be.

Perhaps because the wind had blinded her eyes, Xu Xiuyi felt her eyes were slightly wet.

What else does he want? Hasn't he hurt her enough?

Now, are you unwilling to leave even the last bit of dignity to her?

"Step aside."

"Xiu'er..."

Why did he call her like that? He didn't know. This originally sweet call now made her sick.

"Would you please get out of the way?"

She raised her eyes and her eyes turned bright.
