Chapter 280 Is It Good To Stop Being Under Mental Pressure?

He didn't respond, just took out a pack of napkins from the side pocket of his backpack, pulled out one with his hand, and frowned to dispose of the dead cockroach on the paper.

Xi Xiao could tell that this person might be a bit of a clean freak.

But this is also normal, after all, cockroaches are very ugly.

"Your movements are really fast. If I didn't know you were doing the problem, I would have thought you were staring at my toast all the time." She joked.

Xu Yan's knuckles were slightly sluggish, but he continued to clean up the mess, "I'm not hungry."

"I know you're not hungry." Xi Xiao was a little helpless, but this guy's brain circuit was very clear, "Okay, let's go on."

Another half an hour later, Mother Xi suddenly came in with a plate of fruit.

"Come on, Xiaoyan, it's hard work to make up lessons at night, so let's eat some fruit."

Xu Yan rolled up the paper wrapping the dead cockroach and threw it into the trash can beside him, "Thank you, auntie, for your concern, but my hands are dirty."

"Neng." Then two scallion-white fingers picked up a piece of cantaloupe and brought it to his mouth, "My hands are not dirty."

A trace of darkness quickly passed under his half-opened eyelids, and he didn't move for a while.

Xi Xiao practiced kung fu for a while, and felt a little embarrassed, so she decided to accept it: "My hands may not be very clean, or—"

Before he finished speaking, his hands were empty.

He took it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, his lips were tightly closed, but his cheeks were bulging.

"Xiaoyan is still so cute." Xi's mother smiled happily, and was a little emotional, "I think when you were young, Xiaoxiao liked to pinch your cheeks and kept praising you for being so cute. I remember once I said that you will grow up sooner or later. In the end, she cried and clamored that she didn't want you to grow up."

Xi Xiao raised her forehead silently: I dare to love myself because of this cuteness.

Xu Yan stopped chewing for a moment, and his expression seemed a little ugly.

She quickly slapped her hands, trying to ease the embarrassment: "Hey, you are young and ignorant, Xu Yan, don't mind."

"What's the matter?" Mother Xi didn't take it seriously at all, "Your taste hasn't changed since you were a child, so isn't it just right that Xiao Yan hasn't changed?"

Lying in a groove.

Xi Xiao hurriedly got up and invited the unrestrained mother out.

Then smooth things over: "Don't listen to my mother's nonsense, she—"

"Do you like my appearance?" He said nothing, staring at her, his question was very clear, and there was an echo like an iron object knocking against the wall.

She plucked her hair: "Everyone has their own aesthetics, right?"

"So you like it?"

Xi Xiao gave up struggling: "Yes, I have always liked your appearance, but I forgot it started with you."

Xu Yan's face seemed to be even uglier. After a long while, he covered the pen case, sorted out the mock rolls, and then threw them all into the backpack.

She was speechless: "Wait, are you leaving now? But I still have a question—"

"My foundation is poor." He got up, looked down at her with a gloomy expression, "need to take it slowly."

Xi Xiao:? ? ?
What the hell, there is only one month left, so take your time? !
No, she likes his appearance, isn't she also praising his appearance in disguise, and is she still mad at him?

Grass, is this person poisonous? !
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, are you going to the hospital for a reexamination tomorrow?" Mother Xi's voice came from the living room.

Xu Yan stopped at once, and tightened his hand holding the backpack: "Is it the sequelae of the previous car accident?"

"It's not a physical illness." Xi Xiao opened the door of the room for him, and smiled as if nothing happened. "Have you heard of manic depression? I relapsed, but the problem is not serious. It will be fine if I don't suffer from mental pressure."

He raised his eyes suddenly, stared at her, and his clear voice slid to the depths, "Manic depression?"

"Haven't you heard of it?" She twisted the doorknob and shrugged. "People don't pay much attention to this disease. It's normal if you don't know."

On the back of Xu Yan's cold and white hands, blue veins twitched slightly.

"So, is it good to stop being under mental pressure?"

"I have experienced some very painful things before," Xi Xiao touched her earlobe, "so now my ability to withstand stress is much better, don't worry, tutoring you will definitely not be a problem."

She described a mental illness so lightly.

Xu Yan's Adam's apple rolled heavily, his eyelids closed and raised again, "Go for reexamination."

Xi Xiao leaned against the door and smiled, "It's really all right, but I will go for the reexamination."

"Well, see you tomorrow." He quickly walked to the shoe cabinet and bent over to change his shoes.

"Xiaoxiao, is it coming soon on your body? But the brown sugar at home is gone, do you want to buy a pack later?"

Mother Xi was knitting a sweater on the sofa in the living room, and she didn't avoid suspicion at all to Xu Yan.

Xi Xiao came out with the toast bag and put it back in the refrigerator, "I'll take a shower first."

"Well, Xiaoyan is leaving? See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Auntie." The curve of his lips moved slightly.

Xi Xiao quickly took a shower, wrapped her wet hair, opened the door and was about to run to the small supermarket in the community.

Don't want to meet Xu Yan who came back, he stopped turning the key and looked back at her.

She smiled back: "Have you been to the supermarket?"

"Well," he lifted the plastic bag in his hand, which contained two packs of brown sugar, "we're going to make brown sugar ribs at home."

"Oh, delicious." Xi Xiao was about to close the door and press the elevator.

"Here's a pack for you," he said suddenly, "I bought too much. I wanted to keep it, but I didn't think it was necessary. It's not good to eat too much candy."

Xi Xiao shied away: "How embarrassing is this, I have only been a neighbor for a few days."

"When you were young, you were very kind to me." Xu Yan's eyes were rippling, and his tone was flat, making it difficult for people to understand the true meaning of these words.

She had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient, and took it over, "How much?"

"Send you off." He unlocked the lock, then went in, and closed the door without any hesitation.

"Why did you buy a bag of brown sugar?" Xu's mother came out of the toilet and asked, shaking the water from her hands.

Xu Yan put the brown sugar on the shoe cabinet and said concisely, "Eat."

"Eat?" She looked up, as if thinking.

He changed into his slippers and was about to go back to the bedroom.

"Hey, I've got it. Mom will make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for you tomorrow morning!" Xu's mother turned half a circle happily, "You loved it the most when you were young!"

He stopped at the door immediately, his lips darkened, "What if I don't like it now?"

"Don't like it anymore?" She patted him on the back and pushed him to sleep, "It's okay, just tell mom what you want to eat, anyway, as long as you behave well, mom will cook for you."

"As long as I'm good?" He mumbled, "As long as I'm good?"

"Have you become stupid in reading recently, kid?" She laughed, "Mom also said that verbally, no matter how bad you are, I will still feed you and clothe you, and treat you as a treasure. "

Xu Yan's expression relaxed, and he finally turned around. Looking at the woman who was many heads shorter than him, his tone became gentle, "Go to bed early. Mom."
