Just liking is not enough

With a calm face, it took a long time before he moved back to his position.

When school was over, Stein drove to pick him up himself.

"Master Sifa?"

Seeing that the face of the person who came up was obviously not good-looking, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Did something happen?"

"No." Sifa shook his head and helped himself to fasten his seat belt.

Stein was about to start the car, but found that among the group of students standing at the school gate, some of them looked at him with complicated expressions.

Stein rolled his eyes, "Those seem to be friends of Master Sifa."

He had already put all the information in his mind.

Xifa was silent for a while, and said with difficulty, "Once a friend."

Stein raised his eyebrows, probably understanding, while starting the car, turned around and left.

The black SUV galloped on the road, the surrounding scenery kept flying back, and there was silence in the car.

After a while, Xifa asked suddenly, "If your friend asked you to tell your secret, otherwise you can't be friends, what would you do?"

Stein stopped at a red light and looked at him, "It depends on how important the secret is."

Xifa raised his eyebrows, and he heard Stein continue, "If this secret is more important than a friend, then we must stick to the secret no matter what."

Xifa sighed, "That's right."

Stein observed his side face for a while, then suddenly asked, "Master Xifa's friend wants to know your identity?"

Sifa nodded.

"Perhaps it can be said."

When the light came on green, Stein started the car and stepped on the accelerator.

Sifa looked back at him, "It can be said? But... if they know that I am a mafia..."

Maybe it will only get further away from him.

Starn remained calm, "You think they will stay away from you, but maybe it's not the case. How do you know if you haven't done some things?"

Xifa was a little moved by what he said.

In fact, before Mi Xiu's incident, he had a good relationship with them, maybe... maybe he should trust them.

Trust their camaraderie.

"That's right." Xifa's mood suddenly brightened, "Stan, you are really a good person, much better than Mixiu!"

Stein smiled slightly, "You are too much."

Xifa pursed her lips and nodded, "That's it, I'm going to invite them to my house this weekend."

Stein said lightly, "Good idea."

"I'll leave this matter to you!" Xifa laughed, revealing the dimples at the corners of his mouth.

The corners of Starn's mouth curled up slowly, forming a strange arc, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, Master Sifa."

The author has something to say: Since yesterday, JJ’s comments have been twitching TAT, and my reply is also a blank TAT... (Kneel down and hit the floor)! ! !

68. Chapter 4 ([-])...

Sure enough, Stein managed the weekend party properly.

Seefa looked at the colorful balloons hanging in the hall and all kinds of dim sum feasts on the dining table, thinking that he would be able to be with his friends again in a while, and finally he felt better.

The agreed time was 2 p.m., and Xifa was sitting nervously on the sofa in the living room. Stein said that before the time came, he would definitely bring Lilia and the others, so he just had to wait.

What excuse would he use to invite them?You won't tell the truth directly, will you?This matter should be said by himself.

Thinking about things in a daze, Xifa even called the housekeeper in his ear a few times, but he didn't notice.

"Master Xifa!" The butler finally raised his voice helplessly after shouting three times.

Surprised, Xifa turned around, "Are they here?"

"No..." the butler sighed, "It's an hour before 2 o'clock..."

"Then what's your name?" Xifa frowned displeasedly, and slowly leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

"I see that you have been in a daze, young master." The butler was aggrieved, "I want to divert the young master's attention."

Xifa didn't lift his eyelids, "Thank you so much."

The housekeeper looked at Xifa's face for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you really decided not to contact Mixiu?"

Since Stein's arrival, Sifer seems to have been deliberately ignoring this topic.

Only then did Xifa slowly open his eyes, a complex look flashed across his face.

"Why should I contact him?"

"Maybe you can invite him to join us..." the housekeeper suggested, "If we can reconcile, let Mixiu come back..."

"He won't come back." Xifa interrupted the butler, paused, and added, "I didn't want him to come back either."

The housekeeper frowned slowly. He originally thought that the two of them were just arguing more than before, but it seemed that he had misunderstood something.

"Master." The butler's face became serious, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, but Stein is not as good as Mixiu."

Although he took care of everything in an orderly manner, judging from his experience in judging people at a young age, this Stein always gave people a bad feeling.

A sense of disobedience that was completely opposite to his upright face.

Xifa pursed his lips, "Get along with him for a while, and you will know that he is a very good person."

At least in terms of helping himself, Stein is more willing to spend his time than Mi Xiu, rather than denying it directly.

——No need for that kind of superfluous emotion!

Mixiu's cold words seemed to be still on the tip of his heart, and Xifa bit the root.

The way to go in the future is his own choice. No matter what Mixiu, Leo and Kai have encountered, no matter how rough the past of Mr. Goethe and Feng is, it doesn't mean that he will fall into the same abyss as them inside.

It's not that he doesn't remember what Brother Kai said.

When my 14-year-old self was kidnapped to Hong Kong, Kai said to his crying self, "If you cherish them, you should stay away from them."

This sentence was like a nightmare, which troubled him for two whole years. Since Star of the Rancio family started to fight against O'Millie, he, the heir of the fourth family, was thrown aside and kept a low profile for two years. Nothing happened. Whatever happened, he grew up safely. Kai's previous reminder was like the breeze when dreaming back at midnight, blowing past his ears, and was quickly forgotten by himself.

The current era is different from the past, Xifa comforted himself in this way, the previous group fighting methods, or assassination, have disappeared for a long time. When O'Milly was in charge of the entire Roman Mafia, everything began to move towards the direction of the sun. Go, at least on the surface, at least it seems to be the case in general.

Many things have changed. Even Kai, who used to have no idea about "excessive" feelings, has the huge weakness of being far away. Why can't he make himself more integrated into ordinary life?

After so many repetitions, Xifa gradually convinced himself, and began to yearn for friendship and vague love.

But Mi Xiu used those words that had no room for him, as if he had poured cold water on him head-on.

This makes him who has worked so hard for so long, how can he not be angry?

I did nothing wrong.

Sifa clenched his fists.

……

An hour passed quickly, although in Xifa's eyes, it seemed longer than a year.

There was a doorbell ringing at the door, and the sound of a car horn.

The butler went out to have a look, then turned to Sifa and said, "Stan is back."

Xifa stood up abruptly, only to realize that his palms were covered with sweat.

Stein's car did not stop directly at the gate of the compound, but when passing by, he gestured to the butler, and the car drove back.

The butler turned to Sifa and said, "Stan seems to have taken your friend to the backyard."

Xifa frowned, "What are you doing in the backyard?"

Decorate the hall so fancy, but leave it alone?

"Maybe he thinks it's better for you to speak clearly first." The butler thought for a while and said, "Maybe the backyard is quieter."

Xifa raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth into a silent "oh", then nodded, and headed towards the backyard.

The butler followed closely behind, but Xifa suddenly turned around and waved his hands.

"You stay ahead."

"But..." The housekeeper felt faintly uneasy.

"I can't bring a lot of people to explain to them." Xifa smiled, "It's fine for Starn to stay over there."

The butler sighed and nodded.

Hurrying through the corridor at the back door, passing a row of small two-story bungalows where servants lived, in the farthest and quietest empty courtyard of the entire Lal family, a black SUV was parked at the door.

Standing in a low building that had been abandoned for a long time and was used as a warehouse, Stein stretched out his hand, "Your friend is waiting for you inside."

Xifa frowned displeased, "How did you find such a place?"

"It's quiet here, and no one disturbs you." Stein smiled. "If they don't listen to your explanation and want to leave, it will take at least 10 minutes from here to leave."

Xifa raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "You counted the time really well."

Stein still stretched out his hands and bowed respectfully, "I sincerely wish you a successful conversation, Master Sifa."

Xifa took a deep breath before striding in.

The door behind him slammed shut, and the lights in the warehouse were dim, except for a transom above the head, revealing some pale light.

A strong musty smell floated in the room. After taking a few steps, Sifa stumbled over a broken broom handle.

"Lilia?" Sifa wondered, looked around, but only saw piles of cardboard boxes.

"Uh...uh..." There was a muffled voice coming from behind the cardboard box, Xifa quickly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to open the cardboard box, but was stunned——

Several friends, including Lilia, were tied up like rice dumplings, and their mouths were taped.

"This..." Xifa was stunned.

Seeing Xifa, several people were visibly excited, and the voices of "huh huh"
