Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng stretched out his hand with a smile, gently placed it on Chen Xi's soft hair, and gently stroked it.

However, unlike in the past, Chen Xi, who had never paid much attention to such actions, seemed to be frightened this time. He suddenly tilted his head to one side and successfully avoided Chen Feng's big hand.

Just when Chen Feng was stunned by his daughter's sudden reaction, a voice with a hint of anger came into his ears.

"Oh! Dad! Can you please stop touching it? It's almost messed up my hair! I spent a lot of effort to style it today!"

Chen Xi frowned and complained, while quickly tidying up the hair that had been touched by his father.

Chen Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw his daughter like this. He muttered to himself: I didn't expect that this little girl would start to appreciate beauty and dress herself up.

As he thought about it, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that my precious daughter has really grown up!

Just as Chen Feng was immersed in thinking about his daughter's growth and changes, Chen Xi's clear voice rang out again.

"Dad, have you bought all the furniture? Mom, godmother and I worked so hard to clean the house thoroughly. We are just waiting for you to buy new furniture and put it in!"

Hearing Chen Xi's anxious question, Chen Feng quickly replied with a smile: "Haha, of course I bought it! My dear daughter, look over there, there are several large trucks loaded with new furniture for our family!"

After saying that, Chen Feng raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the trucks parked at the door, motioning Chen Xi to go and take a look.

"And, these furnitures are really varied and varied! Their styles are simply bizarre, and each piece is unique."

"Go and take a look and see if there is anything here that catches your eye. If there is one that really appeals to you, then just replace all the old furniture in your house!"

Seeing Chen Feng introducing so enthusiastically, Chen Xi shook his head gently and responded with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I am already very satisfied with the existing furniture styles in my room, there is no need to change them at all!"

"As for what type of person my godmother likes, I really can't guess for the time being. Um...but it doesn't matter, I'll go in right away and call everyone out so they can choose!"

After saying this, Chen Xi turned around and walked quickly towards the yard.

Seeing Chen Xi being so proactive, Chen Feng couldn't help but nod happily and said, "Okay, then you better hurry up and call everyone out to choose furniture!"

Hearing his father's urging, Chen Xi quickly turned around and replied crisply: "I know, Dad! Please wait here for a moment, I promise to bring them all here as quickly as possible!"

Before she finished her words, she had already run into the yard like a happy little deer.

Looking at his daughter's receding back, Chen Feng sighed with amusement and helplessness, and said to himself: "Oh, this little girl, she is always so impetuous and clumsy when doing things, when will she become more steady!"

However, despite saying this, the doting smile on his face did not diminish at all.

But after Chen Xi trotted back to the central courtyard, he was still a long way from the east wing of the central courtyard when he started shouting at the top of his voice towards the room.

"Xiao Yue, godmother, please come out quickly! My dad bought a lot of furniture of different styles and types, and he is placing them at the door now!"

Chen Xi's voice was so sharp and bright that it seemed to shake the entire yard.

"Everyone, hurry up and go to the door to choose the furniture you like! If you go too late, the good stuff will be snatched away by others!"

Chen Xi shouted and waved his hands excitedly, his face full of unconcealable joy.

At this time, the people who were cleaning in the room of Chen Xu and his brother heard Chen Xi's shouting, stopped their work and looked at each other.

When Jin Ling, who was in the room, heard her daughter screaming like that, she frowned and her face instantly darkened.

She angrily put down the broom in her hand, walked quickly to the door of the east wing, and scolded Chen Xi.

"Chen Xi, Chen Xi, you are a grown-up girl, can you be more stable and quiet? You are so impetuous and noisy all day long, how can you be so disgraceful!"

Jin Ling's angry shout was like a bolt from the blue. Chen Xi was so frightened that he stood there in a daze, not daring to move. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of grievance with his head down.

Lou Xiao'e, who was following closely behind Jin Ling, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and gently grabbed Jin Ling's arm, and persuaded her softly.

"Sister Jin Ling, calm down first. Let's go over and take a look at the furniture. As for Chen Xi's matter, it won't be too late to talk to her slowly later!"

After hearing Lou Xiao'e's persuasion, Jin Ling glared at Chen Xi fiercely, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

Then, she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "Hmph, just wait and see how I'll deal with you later!"

After saying this, she grabbed Lou Xiao'e's hand and hurried towards the front yard.

Lou Xiao'e was dragged forward by Jin Ling, and she stopped when she passed by Chen Xi.

She raised her right hand and gently tapped Chen Xi's head. Her movement was so gentle that it seemed like she was stroking a cute little animal.

At the same time, she was still whispering: "Oh, you, you are such a naughty ghost!"

Chen Xi felt Lou Xiao'e's fingers falling on his head and couldn't help but look up.

The moment her eyes met Lou Xiao'e's, an extremely bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, as warm as the spring sun.

This smile was so pure and innocent that it warmed Lou Xiao'e's heart.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Jin Ling who was walking in front.

Seeing that her daughter was so heartless and could smile so happily in the face of the impending punishment, Jin Ling was so angry that she almost passed out.

She turned around again, gave Chen Xi a fierce look, then shook her head, quickened her pace, and walked out with Lou Xiao'e without looking back.

After Jin Ling and Lou Xiao'e walked some distance away, Chen Xi withdrew his gaze and turned to look at his brothers and sisters who had just filed out of the east wing and were staring at him intently.

Seeing this, she waved her hands proudly and shouted, "Hey, what are you all doing standing there like idiots? Go pick out some furniture!"

"My house is already fully furnished, there's no need to replace it. But your house is still empty, there's nothing in it!"

When Chen Xi finished speaking, Chen Yue, who had just met her, walked towards Chen Xi without hesitation and gently took Chen Xi's slightly slender hand.

Then, Chen Yue said softly with a concerned look on her face, "Sister Chen Xi, is it really okay for Auntie to scold you so mercilessly?"

As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, Chen Xi, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was stunned. She opened her beautiful and lively eyes wide and stared at Chen Yue, as if she didn't understand what the other party meant for a moment.

Chen Xi blinked as if waking up from a dream, and asked in confusion: "Problem? What kind of problem?"

However, the next moment, Chen Xi seemed to suddenly understand what Chen Yue meant.

She first shook her head slightly, then waved her hand casually, with an indifferent expression on her face, and spoke carelessly.

"Oh, what's the problem with that? It's just a few scoldings, I'm used to it!"

After that, Chen Xi grabbed Chen Yue's hand without saying anything, turned around and walked out the door. At the same time, she walked briskly and muttered excitedly.

"Xiao Yue, let's go! I'll take you to pick out furniture. Don't worry, I promise that I'll pick out the best for you!"

Just like that, the ignorant Chen Yue was like a docile little lamb, held tightly by her sister Chen Xi's hand, and walked slowly towards the antique gate of the courtyard. The sunlight shone on them, casting two slender shadows.

Chen Xiao, who was standing at the back, opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in astonishment.

After a long while, he came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream. He turned around and asked Chen Xing beside him cautiously, "Brother, has our sister always been so impetuous and decisive?"

Hearing Chen Xiao's question, Chen Xing nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then responded in a nonchalant tone: "You saw it with your own eyes, why are you still asking me?"

Chen Xiao scratched his head, not seeming particularly satisfied with the answer, but he continued to ask, "Then will the aunt really punish our sister later?"

There was a hint of worry and concern in his words.

Facing Chen Xiao's concerns, Chen Xing seemed particularly calm. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and answered calmly.

"Don't worry, there won't be any big problems. My mom will at most scold my sister, and besides, our dad is here, he will definitely protect my sister!"

After saying this, Chen Xing seemed to remember something, reached out and gently straightened the slightly wrinkled corners of his clothes, then turned to look at Chen Xiao, patted his shoulder, and spoke gently.

"Okay, don't worry about my sister's affairs. Let's go to the front door and choose a set of furniture you like!"

As he said that, he took the lead and walked forward. Seeing this, Chen Xiao had to suppress his doubts and followed Chen Xing out.
