Back to the past to fall in love [system]

It was not an illusion, at this moment, there was not even the sound of breathing in the room.

Xu Ziran looked at her mother's face, and her color changed instantly.

"It's from my book." Xu Ziran immediately added.

However, it is clear that although many daughters are imaged as good girls in their mother's mind, Xu Ziran does not belong to this category. Xu's mother looked at her suspiciously—no, it is not so much doubt as to say that she is absolutely sure. I don't believe it.

Xu Ziran was unavoidably flustered - firstly, because she had no intention of taking the blame, she and Qiu Yurou have been clean and innocent for so many years, and secondly, because the topic she talked about was too sensitive, so she put aside her face and pretended to be coquettish: "Oh my mother, Why do you say this, I am ashamed."

There was still silence.

Obviously, this hypocritical sentence did not move Xu's mother in any way.

After about 3 minutes like this, Xu Ziran felt her mother stand up and walk out of the room silently.

And throughout the following night, Xu Ziran felt to some extent that her mother was out of her mind, and occasionally saw her eyes, which were different from before.

While she was worrying about this matter, Mother Tian asked her insinuatingly if she knew Tian Jiaqi's whereabouts. Although Xu Ziran had already drawn a clear line with Tian Jiaqi in her heart, after all, she had been friends and neighbors for so many years, and it was not easy to break away. Seeing Tian's mother sad, she can only comfort and explain, hoping that the other party can feel better.

Because of these things, when Xu Ziran saw the blessing text message sent by Qiu Yurou, an hour had passed.

She quickly replied and explained it. After clicking send, she felt that it was still not enough, so she simply hid on the balcony and made a call.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Xu Ziran hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see something just now."

Qiu Yurou naturally didn't care: "Is it busy at night?"

"It's not busy..." Xu Ziran hesitated for a moment, and then told about Tian Jiaqi and Xia Qian.

After hearing this, Qiu Yurou was silent for a moment, and said, "This doesn't seem like something Tian Jiaqi would do."

Xu Ziran deeply agreed: "That's why I also feel strange, is there something tricky in it? After all..."

Qiu Yurou knew what Xu Ziran meant. After all, Tian Jiaqi and Liu Yizhen had been in contact, so no one knew what would happen later.

But regarding this matter, Qiu Yurou could give an accurate answer.

"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Liu Yizhen. My mother told me that Liu Yizhen's current situation is not very good."

"What's wrong?" Xu Ziran perked up.

"I didn't say anything specific. It seems that Governor Liu has been slapped with double regulations. Now Liu Yizhen is working on this matter, but I heard that there is little hope."

"That's it." This was expected, Xu Ziran still couldn't help showing a smile, and said at the same time, "Then it should only be a problem between the two of them. On the night of the New Year's Eve, don't say these disappointing things. What did you eat?"

After that, the two chatted nonsense for half an hour, until Qiu Yurou said that her father was looking for her, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Xu Ziran sighed for a while facing the dark night sky, then turned around——

"My mother!" Xu Ziran took a step back in fright because he turned around and saw a vague figure behind the curtain, and leaned against the balcony railing, almost not falling off.

At the same time, she discovered that it was her mother who surprised her.

Xu Ziran pressed his beating heart and said, "Mom, how long have you been standing?" Xu Ziran was worried that if the other party stood there from the beginning of the call, he would think wildly when he heard something.

Mother Xu's eyes were dark - of course, this may be mainly because the balcony was not turned on - the atmosphere seemed a little weird.

After a long time, Mother Xu said, "Call Qiu Yurou."

Xu Ziran's heart skipped a beat, why are they called by their full names?Her mother usually called Qiu Yurou "Rou Rou".

She swallowed and nodded.

"It seems that you are in a good mood? Her parents are at home."

Hearing Xu's mother say this first, Xu Ziran guessed that Xu's mother should not be there when Liu Yi's real story was said earlier, so speaking, she should have only listened to some sweet words later.

Xu Ziran didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more nervous.

After all, her mother hadn't given her any clear response to the incident during the day.

She nodded and said, "Yes, they all will come by chance."

Mother Xu said, "If you don't come back, you plan to live in her house, right?"

Xu Ziran: "..."

Xu Ziran couldn't say anything to explain it, because it was the truth, but the problem is, the reason why she did this must be different from what her mother thought!

Sure enough, seeing Xu Ziran's silence, Xu's mother probably thought it was tacit consent, shook her head, turned and left.

Xu Ziran felt that even if she jumped into the Yellow River this time, she would not be able to wash it off, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to wash it off, anyway... it will be a matter of time anyway.

It's just that her mother's reaction was really unpredictable to her.

She hesitated whether to discuss this matter with Qiu Yurou, after thinking about it, she felt that the outcome of this matter was hard to say, so she decided to wait until everything was settled before talking to Qiu Yurou.

She lived this New Year's Eve with a heavy heart, and she was not even interested in replying to the New Year's greetings she kept receiving on her mobile phone, until she saw a new text message reminder and found it was from Tian Jiaqi.

[Happy New Year, I'm sorry for the previous incident. 】

Xu Ziran hesitated for a moment, then replied——

【what are you thinking? 】She sent this text message not for herself or Tian Jiaqi, but for Aunt Tian and Uncle Tian.

There will be a quick reply——

[Actually, there are not many complicated reasons. In that case, we can only leave first. 】

Xu Ziran looked at this sentence, and moved his fingers on the keyboard for a long time, but finally nothing was sent.

She was thinking all over her head, and she always felt that Tian Jiaqi was selfish in her heart, but in this case, the other party was much more decisive than herself.

Probably because Tian Jiaqi is such a person.

Xu Ziran's head hurts when she thought about these things. Fortunately, the text message sent by the company soon diverted her attention. After replying to the necessary people, she realized that it was already very late. Strange thing, today she There was no impression of the system "coercing" her into going to bed on time.

She quickly dug out the system and checked the message list.

Sure enough, there was no message to remind her to go to bed on time, but there was another sentence—【Happy New Year】

Every year in the past has never been so smart.

Thinking about it, it should have something to do with "Qiu Yurou".

Happy New Year, this was originally a very simple wish, but when Xu Ziran saw it here, he felt mixed feelings.

So she murmured to herself in a low voice: "Although I don't know what to say to you, but——Happy New Year."

……

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Xu Ziran was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

It was still daylight, but she couldn't sleep anymore. The cold she had a few days ago hadn't gotten better, and it was good and bad. This morning, it seemed to be a little more serious, and her nose was completely blocked.

She rubbed her nose and went downstairs to pour water. When she reached the living room downstairs, she found that the living room door was open. After drinking the water, she went out by the way. But at the door, she found her mother squatting in the yard with her head down, not knowing what to do.

She walked over slowly and saw her mother squatting in front of a firecracker, with her arms folded over her chest, as if she was in deep thought.

Xu Ziran was getting closer, the other party probably heard the sound of footsteps, and raised his head quickly, when he raised his head, he wiped his face with his hand.

Xu Ziran was startled all of a sudden, because even though she wiped her face, Xu Ziran could tell that her mother was crying.

All the constructions that Xu Ziran had made in her heart collapsed, she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Her mother stood with her back to her, and said, "Why did you get up so early today? Are the firecrackers too loud?"

Xu Ziran didn't have time to speak, because his nose was itchy, he sneezed first, and directly blew out a snot bubble.

Mother Xu looked back and saw Xu Ziran in such a mess, she sighed and said, "Of course, when will we grow up?"

Xu Ziran feels that she has always been quite mature, and people around her have various evaluations of her, but she has never been "naive", so Xu's mother expresses such emotion, probably because all mothers feel that their children will never grow up.

There was still a teardrop on the tip of Xu's mother's nose, but she probably didn't feel it, so she didn't wipe it, so she took out a roll of tissue from her pocket, handed it to Xu Ziran, and said, "Hurry up and blow your nose."

Xu Ziran took it over and tore off a section, but reached out first to wipe away the tear on the tip of Xu's mother's nose, then clenched the tissue into her fists.

She didn't know what to say, so after a while, she only said in a strong nasal voice: "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, but it will inevitably disappoint you.

Sorry to make you worry so much.

Sorry to put you under so much pressure.

Mother Xu looked at her.

The sky is blue-gray, the morning mist rises from the ground, and the water vapor wets the flowers and plants in the yard, everything looks fresh and lovely.

However, in this space, the atmosphere of the two people is heavy and subtle.

Xu Ziran's voice was slightly hoarse: "I'm sorry, if I choose to live alone in this life, that person must be Qiu Yurou. I like her, not like a friend, but a lover's like, envy, and attachment."

"I couldn't meet all your expectations, sorry."

Xu Ziran raised his hand slightly, wanting to hug his mother, but found it difficult to do so.

She didn't know what kind of reaction her mother would give her next, she could only guess based on previous experience, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be particularly wonderful.

So she could only look down at her feet, waiting for the coming storm.

However, in the icy morning wind, only calm and sighing human voices sounded——

"So, what are you going to do next? Mom doesn't understand you anymore, but it's good to have someone to take care of you."
