Chapter 8, He is not Xiao Xi

There is no need to trouble you with the arrangements for picking up and dropping off for school in the future. " The elder brother glanced at Tengxi and said resolutely, "Let's go, we need to head to the academy for class now.

Of course, it's to see which little rascal is trying to abduct our dear little sister said the second brother, lowering his head as he put on his shoes

One, Two, Three

No, perhaps it really is just a prank. Tian Yi Yi, you must not think too much. I shook my head, trying to cast away the unease that was swirling in my mind

I gazed at the stunning youth walking beside me, whose tranquil and gentle pitch-black eyes would glimmer when they looked at me, and I thought to myself that perhaps the best choice was to quietly observe the unfolding situation.

"No, it's just that you resemble a playmate from my childhood." I forced a smile and said, "Class is about to start, let's head back to the classroom." With that, I waved goodbye to Ying Xuexiang and turned to walk towards the classroom.

Alas, to say that I am not sad would be a lie. The most important thing is that my journey in treating male allergies has become increasingly difficult

However, he has never taken a luxurious car to school or returned home, nor has he spent money lavishly like a wealthy young master; instead, he escorts me on foot every day

It's so late, who is calling me? I suspiciously picked up my phone, and it was an unfamiliar number

So I took a bottle of mineral water from the class supplies and then eagerly rushed towards Sakura Yuki. This operation must be swift, decisive, and precise

Then, I recounted to Tengxi Su the matter of receiving the invitation letter last night, hoping that Tengxi Su could understand, after all, my brothers were also concerned about me

I gazed intently at Ying Xuexiang, not letting slip any subtle expression, truly looking forward to his answer aligning with what I had in mind.

In order to avoid crowded places, I circumvented the playground and headed towards the relatively quiet Maple Tree Lane

Thus, I had no choice but to speak up: "In fact, I don't remember very clearly either, I just vaguely recall that I had a lot of fun playing with a little girl at that time, but later I suddenly discovered that she was actually a boy, so... subsequently, I developed an allergy to boys."

"Hi, Sakura Yuki. " I ran up to Sakura Yuki with a smile.

Alright! I understand! I am standing at the door of my house, waving goodbye to Tengxi.

The angelic and charming smile ... and the feather brooch that is never far from her chest.

After school, Tengxi kept saying with a blank expression that I must rest well tonight

I patted my chest, and fortunately, I managed to get through it!

Oh, I'm fine! I lowered my head, feeling a sense of confusion in my heart. He is not Xiao Xi, what should I do now?

Oh? Is it because I brought the threatening package that you are angry?

"Well, that's good." Tengxi Suo pressed her lips together, her gaze shifting suspiciously between me and Yingxue Xiang, her tone revealing no discernible emotion.

I felt so sleepy! So I pulled up the blanket and drowsily drifted into slumber

The next morning, Tengxi accompanied me to the academy as usual

Well, it hasn't been long, actually I am carefully choosing my words

The brothers cast a suspicious glance at me, but unable to contain their curiosity, they said nothing further and picked up the letter opener beside them to cut open the seal

Ah! It is better not to think too much for now

Did we meet when we were young? On the inner side of your right arm, is there a birthmark in the shape of a feather? I pondered for a moment and then asked my conjecture.

Wuwu

I can't help but smile inwardly, wow, this guy is shy again. However, with that beautiful face flushed with a rosy hue, he looks adorable no matter how you see it

Tengxi Inn has been trying to help me recall the situation at that time, but due to the excessive shock I experienced and my subconscious effort to avoid remembering those events, I have forgotten many details, let alone recalling Xiaoxi's contact information

Sakura Yuki was slightly taken aback by my serious expression, and then nodded: "Hmm, alright." There was also a hint of seriousness in her voice

My heart skipped a beat, my brother's subtext was—if it's true, then I must beat Fujinami to death

How frightening! Who sent me such a thing

Heaven, one, one! A cold, icy voice exploded.

I walked into the room, turned on the computer, and a gentle breeze suddenly swept through, as if carrying a barely audible voice: Is that persistent feeling really just overthinking?

Fortunately, Tengxi did not have a dispute with his brothers; it seems that I can only explain things to him properly in the classroom

Why did the corner of Tengxi's mouth twitch for a moment? It must be my illusion...

No, I saw that his clothes were wet, so I suggested that he take them off first. I put on a flattering smile and quickly explained

Soon, the opportunity will arise

Just as I was about to press the answer button, the phone's vibration abruptly ceased

However, for the sake of future peaceful coexistence, it is better to make some concessions to Tengxi Lodge for now

I hope I am just overthinking it

What should I do?

I stared at Tengxi Residence with a fearless resolve, if he makes me eat those strange things again today, I will...! ... run for my life!

A few days passed quietly, and there was no progress in the search for Xiao Xi. The strange anonymous calls and packages had not reappeared. If it were not for the call records on my phone confirming this undeniable fact, it would all seem as if it had never happened.

However, in recent days, I have been inexplicably receiving strange phone calls that ring a few times before hanging up

A few seconds later

Ah! It is certain that Yi Yi's reaction is genuine! Wuwu! How could you abandon your brother like this! Second brother wiped his tears with one hand in sorrow, while the other hand mournfully covered his heart.

I focused my gaze and was surprised to see the words: Sincerely inviting Miss Tian Yiyi and Mr. Teng Xisu to attend the evening party

I hurriedly suggested, "Your clothes are wet, why not take them off first? It must be uncomfortable like this." I pretended to look guilty.

I quickly explained to Tengxi: "Because I am the only girl in the family, my brothers' protective instincts towards me are inevitably stronger. Gradually, as long as they accept you, that will be enough."

No, no, it is merely the concern among classmates; we are all friends. I quickly waved my hand and shook my head like a rattle.

Ah! No, there isn't... Haha! I quickly withdrew my gaze, awkwardly turning my head to look at Tengxi Dormitory, "I saw a butterfly in front, it was so beautiful, so I was lost in thought."

A stealthy figure crouched low, quietly traversing the corridor of the teaching building, attempting to avoid detection by someone who was diligently searching for her

I am sorry, I lied again

Alas, I said how could Tengxi Inn give up so easily, I was indeed too naive

Oh, I see, then that's fine...

Ah!

However, it has been such a long time that I no longer have that little boy's contact information. After thinking for a moment, I immediately lowered my head

Heavens! How could it be a dead bat

At the moment when Tengxi Inn saw my brothers and me going out together, it instantly sensed the unusual atmosphere in the air

I pursed my lips, sat down on the sofa in the living room with the package in hand, and it seems I will have to unpack it myself

This is ... ...

He is not Xiao Xi

Ah, this, haha, this is my elder brother and my second brother! I am laughing.

Xiaoxi, look, these dandelions look like falling feathers

Oh! How did it come to this

I stared at the bat corpse on the ground, a chill running through me; it was truly terrifying

Wuwuwu! Please don't go, how will I see your arms like this? I am silently crying in my heart

"Hmm? What are you doing here?" Ying Xuexiang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looking at me in surprise

What are you doing? Just as the plan was about to succeed, a sudden cold wind swept past from behind.

Moreover, this! The elder brother, fuming with anger, took out a beautifully crafted invitation from the package and handed it to me.

Thinking of this, my heart warmed, and his every word and action often surfaced in my mind, did they not all reflect the cultivation and nobility of a nobleman

I was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to take the exquisite paper from Er Ge's hands. I saw that a line of beautiful cursive script was written on it: "Miss Tian Yi Yi, I have learned about your romantic relationship with the dog through the butler responsible for taking care of it. I hope you can attend the evening party together with the dog."

After two tedious physics classes, it was finally time for the relaxing physical education class. Fujinishi and I excitedly ran towards the playground.

Wait! Anonymous?

Indeed. I nodded and blinked my eyes.

Previously, I had little understanding of the identity of Tengxi, and I did not expect that he was indeed a young nobleman

Hehe, I, I... I chuckled awkwardly as I looked at my brothers, my thoughts swirling, wanting to explain properly

It is terrible, it is terrible! It must be another anonymous threatening package! Even the elder brother and the second brother are frightened!

I understand

I, I... I nervously clutched the package in my hands, feeling somewhat flustered, not knowing how to explain.

"One by one, can you explain it? Quickly tell brother, none of this is true..." Before I could sort out my thoughts, the older brother standing beside me also spoke in a sinister tone.

I was just about to tell him that I suspected Ying Xuexiang might be Xiao Xi, but when I met the dark eyes of Teng Xishu, which could not hide their concern, I swallowed my words instead

But why do I always feel that this peace will reveal unease at any moment, like the calm before a storm

"Come on, let's quickly open it and see what it is, and who sent it?" The older brother also leaned over.

Please do not start fighting as soon as you meet!

However, it has been proven that these peculiar pills not only did not help improve my symptoms of male allergies, but also caused me to have diarrhea for an entire day yesterday

"What is wrong with you?" Tengxi Su seemed to notice that I was not in a good state and asked with a furrowed brow

I looked at Tengxi Inn with deep emotion, feeling that I always brought him trouble, yet he silently tolerated me. First, it was the boy's allergy, and now he is being rejected by his two older brothers, but he always looks at me gently, understanding me

I will explain clearly in the future

"Why are you staring at Ying Xuexiang?" A sinister voice suddenly echoed in my ears

Teng Xijuchong nodded at me, then turned his gaze to my brothers: "Hello, elder brother, second brother"

By the way, there is a feather-shaped birthmark on Xiaoxi's body

After much difficulty, we finally arrived at the academy, and my brothers could only reluctantly part ways with us. However, before leaving, they once again reminded me, "Do not have too much contact with Tengxi. He is a troublesome brat."

I slowly lowered my hand that was covering my eyes and looked over fearfully

"What are you laughing at?" Tengxi looked at me with a puzzled expression, his eyes revealing a sense of helplessness

Upon reaching this point, I immediately entered a state of heightened alertness

As night falls and the stars twinkle in the vast night sky, I am rolling around freely on the large bed in my room

Suddenly, a few dandelions, drifting in from an unknown source, swept past before my eyes, their white fluffy balls gently landing in the palm of my hand like feathers

"Big brother, he is actually very nice to me." I shouldered my backpack, trying to stop my brothers.

"Hmm, Tengxi Inn is right, then I will head back first." Ying Xuexiang smiled slightly, then nodded at me before turning to leave.

I hung my head and resignedly continued to listen

Wuwuwu, I have been discovered.

Oh? He actually said that I should not be blindly given medication? Has heaven finally heard my prayers, allowing Tengxi to recognize his own mistakes?

At this moment, he took off his uniform jacket, wearing only a white shirt and the academy's navy blue uniform trousers. He kept jumping up, throwing the ball in his hand, and then catching it again

However, I still felt apprehensive and did not dare to open it, so I shoved the package into my elder brother's hands and, with my hands clasped together, pleaded, "Elder brother, please help me open it!"

"Hi, good, what a coincidence!" I stood up straight with a mournful expression and turned to look at Tengxi Su, who was lazily leaning against the railing.

Wait! Feather

And unfortunately, the person invited above is truly me—Tian Yi Yi!

Moreover, this package clearly appears to be significantly different from the previous anonymous package, featuring exquisite blue high-end patterned wrapping paper and a neatly rectangular box, which does not seem to resemble a threatening package containing repulsive items in any way

But no one is responding to me, have they not returned yet

Yet there is always a sense of unease in my heart, not knowing whether this is the end or merely the beginning.

Hello

After successfully planning the cultural festival theme event, my interactions with my classmates have noticeably become more harmonious. However, in order to cure my male allergy, Tengxi often mysteriously hands me a large number of pills I have never seen before, and he always insists that I must take them in front of him.

Although this may seem a bit abrupt, it is the best course of action

After speaking, he glanced at Tengxi Su again and said, "What is there to admire about that cold and indifferent appearance"

"No, it's just that I feel very uncomfortable seeing him in wet clothes..." I explained cautiously

The strange phone call has left me with a subtle sense of unease, and I am uncertain whether I should immediately inform my brother and Tengxi Su.

Hmph! Is this what you call good? He is already making you abandon your brother! No, no! Upon hearing this, the elder brother became even angrier, opened the door, and walked out.

A bold hypothesis formed in my mind; no wonder I felt a faint sense of familiarity when I first saw Ying Xuexiang. Perhaps he is Xiao Xi after all

However

The eyes rolled around and then it hit me; wait a moment, I can take the opportunity of delivering water to find him, and then accidentally spill the water on his sleeve. This way, when he takes off his shirt, I will be able to see him

Because I was constantly thinking about how to confirm whether Ying Xuexiang is Xiao Xi, I was distracted during several consecutive classes

Elder brother, second brother? What are you doing... Oh no, we've been discovered

"Well, that's good." Tengxi glanced at me and then waved his hand, "Let's go, it's time to assemble."

On that day after school, I had just returned home and had not yet had the chance to change into my slippers when my second brother bounced out and handed me a light blue package

Let's not tell him for now; if we get it wrong, he will surely be very disappointed. I glanced at Tengxi's dormitory with guilt and silently said to myself: "I'm sorry, I'll let you know after I confirm that Yingxuexiang is indeed Xiaoxi!"

Tengxi and several other boys were assigned by the teacher to borrow sports equipment, which means I can take action now

... ...

I sighed, let's continue tomorrow, we will always find a way, come on!

"In any case, I will absolutely not agree! What is so good about him?" The elder brother placed the French gown on the table and retorted with a sneer.

I covered my eyes, unable to look any further, my heart pounding vigorously, as feelings of unease and terror surged instantly to the forefront of my mind

However, if I do not ask him, I certainly cannot just rush over and pull up his sleeve to confirm

Where? Where?

"I am sorry, I should not have blindly given you those medications. I will never force you again in the future." To my surprise, Tengxi stood still in front of me—apologizing.

The book states that generally, such allergies in boys are caused by certain specific factors in their postnatal environment, and in order to treat them, it is essential to identify the root cause said Tengxi Su seriously

Oh, it's no problem at all," Ying Xuexiang said with a smile, completely unconcerned.

I looked anxiously at the tightly closed door of my elder brother's room, as they were surely inside planning how to "deal with" Tengxi Lodge

Ah! I screamed as I dropped the package in my hand, and a bloodied dead bat rolled out.

My heart sank, and the hope within me was instantly crushed by a merciless hand, as feelings of disappointment surged over me like a tidal wave

Package

Recently, it seems that I have not made any enemies, right? Why would someone send me an anonymous threatening package?

Forget it, let's clean up first; it might just be a prank

I helplessly exchanged a glance with Tengxi, desperately blinking my eyes in the hope that he would refrain from asking so many questions first

I, I would like to ask you something. I said nervously, looking intently at Sakura Yuki, my palms slightly sweating.

I do not know why, but my heart suddenly beats rapidly, thumping uncontrollably.

Haha, Tian Yi Yi, you truly are a genius!

Disconnected? How strange, it must have been a wrong dial.

Indeed! How adorable!

I suddenly recalled the strange calls I have been receiving these past few days. Although they came from different numbers, they all rang a few times before automatically disconnecting

Oh dear, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to, my clothes are wet!" I hurriedly apologized repeatedly, while in my heart I was desperately shouting: Hurry, hurry, quickly take off the clothes!

It is quite perplexing! What exactly should I do

Just as we were practicing gymnastics freely as per the teacher's request, I unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure at the other end of the playground

At the moment when my elder brother took out the items inside, I nervously covered my eyes and took two steps back

We were in physical education class and saw you practicing your shots, so we thought to bring you a bottle of water. I smiled as I twisted open the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it over.

I spent the entire day reminiscing about my childhood, but apart from remembering that his name was Xiao Xi, many details remain vague, let alone finding him

It seems that we will have to wait until tomorrow after arriving at the academy to act according to the circumstances

The next day, after the routine patrol was completed, I specifically went to Sakura Yuki's classroom and called her out.

"Your clothes are wet?" Tengxi glanced at Yingxuexiang and said, "Then hurry back and change your clothes."

It is so cold and biting

Big brother! I quickly spoke well of Tengxi, saying, "He is actually a good person. For my safety, he escorts me to school and back home every day!"

The elder brother nodded heavily and glanced at me: "Of course! Not just anyone is worthy of us!" As he spoke, he pulled the second brother into the room, leaving me in a state of despair.

There is no signature at the end

What does it mean? I also do not know why there would be a threatening package

However, I discovered a book on treating male allergies ... ... '' A gentle voice shattered my emotions in an instant

I released my hand that was covering my eyes, suppressing the urge to flee immediately. I crouched down and once again picked up the package to look inside, only to find a note lying prominently within.

Having mentioned the tension and unease in my throat, I have finally let it go; it seems that I truly cannot lie. Fortunately, Tengxi Su did not overthink it.

Wow! Really!

What should I do? What should I do?

If I cannot discern the displeasure in Tengxi's tone, then I am a fool

They must be stopped, otherwise it will be disastrous

Heaven, one, one! Before I could even think about what to do, my brothers shouted my name in unison

What could it be

Let my brother open it instead; if it truly is something strange, I wouldn't be fainting from fear!

Teng Xishu listened attentively, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He gently shook his head and then said to me seriously: "According to what is stated in the book, to completely cure it, it is best to find the person who initially caused your male allergy. Once the knot in your heart is untied, it should be resolved."

What is there to see now that everyone has gone far away

While I pretended to focus on practicing gymnastics, I secretly observed Sakura Yuki not far away, contemplating how I could get a better look at his arms later.

But now his father unexpectedly invited me to attend the evening party with him What should I do

I also have a feather on me

If it is another anonymous prank, what should I do

I like you, not your background or status, so I do not care about those things. I shook my head and said, I am willing to face all difficulties with you

Uh, no! Haha! I put away my smile and continued practicing gymnastics seriously, making sure he would not discover my plan

My heart trembled, and the note in my hand fell to the ground

Who sent me a dead bat and why

... ...

Thinking of this, I hurriedly cleaned up the bat carcasses on the ground and secretly disposed of them in the trash bin outside the door

After thinking for a while, I shook my head and decided to take a walk outside during the break between classes

Oh, that experience was so embarrassing!

As soon as I stepped outside, I indeed saw that tall figure leaning against a tree outside the door, quietly waiting.

"You seem to care about him a lot..." The voice of Tengxi was deep and magnetic, yet it sounded terrifying to my ears

Moreover, he said that he will no longer force me to take medicine in the future, Tengxi Su, you are too kind

So I shook my head and fabricated a reason: "Well, I'm fine. I ate too much before going to bed last night, so I didn't sleep well."

Could this be yet another terrifying prank

The key point is that the consequence of being discovered is to play the "guinea pig" experiment game, and unfortunately, that "guinea pig" is me

Please, second brother, although you are very handsome, it is truly a case of Dong Shi imitating the frown when a big man like you makes a heart shape with your hands

No, it is related!

I quietly directed a warm smile towards Tengxi Dormitory while my brothers were not paying attention

Should I tell my brothers about this matter? However, given their strong protective instincts towards me, they will surely cause a great uproar once they find out

Just as I was covering myself with the quilt, preparing to play chess and chat with the King of Dreams, my phone, placed beside the pillow, vibrated with a "beep beep beep"

Elder brother... I hurriedly chased after my elder brother's footsteps and rushed out

I was astonished to see my elder brother holding a beautiful French evening gown, while my second brother was clutching a magnificent piece of paper

Anonymous calls and anonymous packages ... ? ... Could these be from the same person?

"Hey, what's up? The recipient on this package is you!" Second Brother said, shoving the parcel into my hands with a strong sense of curiosity.

I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to confess to my brothers about the matter between Tengxi and me, but now everything has been completely disrupted by the invitation to the evening party

"Why are you suddenly asking me this question?" Ying Xuexiang asked in confusion

Two exclamations of surprise echoed through the hall

Throughout the journey, I several times wanted to tell him about the bats, but each time the words reached my lips, I would unconsciously swallow them back down

However, after thinking for a moment, Ying Xuexiang shook his head and said, "We should not have met before. As for the feather-shaped birthmark you mentioned, I indeed do not have one." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and extended his fair arm in front of me

"Huh? Is it not a threatening package?" I observed my brothers' reactions, which became increasingly strange.

Oh? Sakura Snow Flight

I excitedly covered my chest; if he truly is Xiao Xi, then believe me, I am getting closer to the goal of curing boys' allergies.

"Did you not sleep well because you ate too much?" asked Tengxi.

At the moment the letter opener sliced open the package seal, for some reason, I suddenly felt a strange aura emanating from the wrapping paper, and my hand trembled slightly

You quickly explain it to me! The slightly trembling voice of Second Brother contained a deep sense of disbelief

Is it feathers

The image of Xiaoxi having his pants pulled down flashed through my mind once again, and I glanced at Tengxi's dormitory uneasily, only to find him still looking at me with anticipation

Uh, is it really that funny? I looked at Tengxi Su, who was walking towards me with suspicion. Could it be that he intends to forcefully administer drugs? No, please don't!

Before I could even pull open the large door, I heard the sound of rustling footsteps behind me

Hehe ... ... Just when I was fully prepared to escape, I did not expect that Tengxi would gently lift the corners of his mouth and smile

We must thoroughly analyze why you developed an allergy to boys, can you still recall the situation at that time?" Tengxi lowered his head, his dark eyes filled with concentration

As I observed the curious expressions of my elder brother and second brother, my inner unease diminished somewhat; perhaps this time it is not something strange after all

I could not help but relax as I gazed at Tengxi Inn

It seems he is also attending physical education class, but why is he practicing shooting alone there

It feels as though something bad is about to happen

Must explain quickly

I furrowed my brows and tried hard to recall, when suddenly, the exquisite and captivating face of Ying Xuexiang appeared before me

I looked at Tengxi Inn with a heart full of pain; he is truly innocent! It is so unfair for the brothers to treat Tengxi Inn this way!

After listening, Teng Xishu's pupils slightly contracted, his gaze became even deeper, yet a faint blush quietly crept onto his face

"Brother, let's talk nicely!" I smiled obsequiously, trying to alleviate the resentment between my elder brother and second brother.

How did Tengxi Inn return so quickly

Gently stepping on the thick maple leaves, the "crunch crunch" sound instantly sweeps away restlessness and brings one back to tranquility

Tengxi lowered his head to look at me, his gaze filled with warmth, and his voice like a gentle and soothing spring breeze: "Hmm, I understand"

Just as Ying Xuexiang was unbuttoning her clothes and preparing to take them off

Tengxi Inn caught my eye, the corners of his lips slightly raised, silently saying: "It's nothing."

Before me stood a chestnut-haired youth, who was also intently gazing at me. His soft lips formed a slight curve, and his eyes, tinged with a hint of apology, were filled with deep affection, while stray strands of hair lazily fell down.

No, no, absolutely cannot trust Tengxi Inn anymore

The next day, I quietly packed my bag early and opened the door...

My brothers have clearly expressed that they do not want me to be in a relationship. Now they not only know about it, but they also found out in this manner

Once I made up my mind, I no longer deliberately thought about this matter

"What nonsense is this? I'm asking you if what this letter says is true?" Second Brother looked at me with red eyes, tears welling up.

"Do not rush, take your time to recall and see if you can discover any clues," Tengxi Xu comforted me, his eyes filled with determination and persistence. "I will always be by your side!"

Who exactly said he is the cold-faced iceberg man? Rumors are not credible

Great! I have finally gotten rid of my brothers

I walked towards the classroom while pondering.

Boom boom boom

Oh? This is ... ...

He is truly very good-looking

Ah! What a disaster!

It seems that Tengxi Inn has been quite concerned about my interactions with Yingxue Xiang from the very beginning, so it appears that the actions later must be conducted in secrecy

"What! You have all developed to such an extent that you actually send him home every day?" Second Brother pulled Big Brother over and said with a choked voice, "No! Absolutely cannot let that brat succeed!"

"Oh, thank you!" Ying Xuexiang looked at me in surprise, clearly a bit flattered, but still gratefully extended his hand to take the water.

I let out a sigh of relief, having finally managed to get through it. It seems that this method is not very feasible; I might as well take the opportunity to ask Sakura Yukihira directly.

As I was unlocking the door with my keys, I caught a glimpse of a small gray package lying on the ground. I bent down to pick it up, and to my surprise, the recipient was none other than myself. Who could have sent me this package

You! Who are your elder brother and second brother! Hmph, you want to abduct our family member, right? Let me tell you, we will not agree to that!" Upon hearing the greeting from Tengxi, the second brother twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly maintaining a serious expression to clarify his stance.

"Is there something wrong?" Ying Xuexiang slowly walked out, the feather brooch on his chest glimmering in the sunlight

I stared at him intently

Because I want to hold hands with Tengxi, or occasionally receive a warm hug, and date normally like all couples do

A line of four people made me feel quite uncomfortable, as my brothers flanked me on either side, while Tengxi could only silently follow behind us, enduring the frequent dismissive glances thrown at him by my brothers

"Who is Tengxi Inn? I want to kill that little brat!" The elder brother raised his eyebrows, his deep voice like the howling north wind.

The feeling of unease suddenly enveloped me like a thick fog. Trembling, I finally took it out, only to see several cut-out letters pieced together on the white paper: I will never let you have it easy!

It is truly frustrating to have been caught so easily

But how can I find out if there is a feather birthmark on Ying Xuexiang's arm? Moreover, if I just recklessly go and ask him, it would seem very impolite

"What is wrong with you? Are you okay?" came the concerned inquiry from Ying Xuexiang, echoing in my ears

I pouted, stomped my foot in frustration, and as I turned around, my heart immediately felt a chill.

Such a familiar feeling, have I seen it somewhere before

Root? Does it mean I need to start unraveling from my childhood experiences?

I silently recited three numbers in my mind, waited for the right moment, tilted my foot, and my body instantly leaned to one side. The mineral water in my hand spilled out in a great rush due to my body's imbalance, and quite coincidentally, it splashed entirely onto Ying Xuexiang's sleeve.

What letter is this

Then, he turned his head away in a bit of a fluster

I looked at Tengxi Inn with deep emotion, as if warm spring water were pouring over my heart. I nodded heavily, repeatedly telling myself—find Xiaoxi, untie the knot in my heart

"Do not dawdle! Quickly tell your brother that this is not true!" Second Brother said, clutching his chest in deep distress.

However, none of this concerns me; what I like is the person he is. Regardless of his identity, it is merely an inconsequential accessory to me.

By the way, wasn't I supposed to check if there is a birthmark on Ying Xuexiang's arm? This might be a good opportunity

Could he be the little Xi that I am looking for

"Look..." As she spoke, Xiaoxi rolled up her sleeve, revealing a distinctly feather-shaped light brown birthmark on the inner side of her right arm

Just as my eyes were about to cramp from blinking so quickly, Tengxi Xu retracted his gaze. Although a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, he nodded good-naturedly and silently followed alongside us, saying little.

With a heart full of confusion, I pushed open the door while holding the package, and as I kicked off my shoes and changed into slippers, I cheerfully called out: "Elder brother, second brother, I am back"

I listened patiently, perhaps the book that Tengxi Su found this time is not as difficult as I imagined

Could it be the sender's information? What will it say to me

"Hmph! You quickly tell me, when did you all start?" Second Brother sobbed and lamented from the side.

The inner side of the arm is indeed very fair and clean, with no birthmarks present.

Oh my! He was so talkative today

"But aren't you angry? My father had the butler investigate you." Tengxi frowned, and it was evident that he seemed troubled by this.

What is the situation? How could I suddenly be invited to the party?

Is that so

My mind exploded like several thunderous explosions, as this was actually an invitation sent by Tengxi's father, who also personally delivered a custom-made dress from France

I stared wide-eyed at the package in my second brother's hands, not daring to move a muscle
