Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 66:

Yan Xi meditated on the sofa for a while, and decided to take a look. An Zhi’s door was not closed, Yan Xi knocked, “Tao Tao?”

It took a few seconds in the room before a muffled “um” sounded.

Yan Xi pushed open the door and went in. An Zhi had already cleaned up the table and washed it, and was sitting on the bed in her pajamas.

“Are you going to sleep?” Yan Xi asked with a smile.

“Yeah.” An Zhi replied in a low voice. She was wearing long-sleeved cotton pajamas. Because of her height recently, the trousers of the old pajamas were a little shorter, revealing her snow-white ankles.

Yan Xi walked over and sat beside her bed, “Would you sleep without socks?”

“No need to wear it.” An Zhi hugged her knees and didn’t look at her.

Yan Xi frowned slightly, feeling that An Zhi had obvious emotional problems, probably because he confessed to her yesterday.

Yan Xi was thinking about how to start the topic, she tried to ask: “I said just now that I did not do well on the English paper? Or…”

Before Yan Xi finished speaking, An Zhi glanced at her sideways, and continued to hold her knees with her head lowered. Yan Xi paused, feeling that she was surrounded by a black hole of communication again. Yan Xi shook his head helplessly, and found another time to talk to her.

“Then go to bed early.” Yan Xi stood up and prepared to go out.

The moment she stood up, An Zhi hurriedly fixed her gaze on her, “Auntie…”

Yan Xi looked back at her, and An Zhi hesitated: “I, what I told you last night… I mean…”

She stammered, her eyes timid, and her face a little frightened.

Yan Xi’s heart softened. After all, she was still young. When she sat back, she had to make a statement.

“Tao Tao, I know what you said yesterday. I’m very touched by your trust in me, but don’t tell anyone else before you are an adult, just treat it as a secret between us, how about it?”

Yan Xi spoke softly, and An Zhi sat curled up. She looked like when she was a child. She didn’t know how to talk when she was unhappy. She hid in the corner like a little rabbit, didn’t speak, and only cried herself.

Yan Xi subconsciously wanted to carry her over and sit on her knees, but he felt a little uncomfortable with his hands on her shoulders. She approached An Zhi and stroked her shoulder, her tone as gentle as possible.

“Secret?” An Zhi looked at her.

Yan Xi said: “You young people may feel that you don’t have to hide yourself, and you need to be happy in your youth. But Tao Tao, our social environment is very complicated. After all, not everyone can accept it openly. I’m afraid you will be slandered by others. ,”

She paused and said tentatively, “Or have you already told someone?”

An Zhi shook her head, “No, I just told you…” She quietly moved her flushed face away.

Yan Xi let out a sigh of relief and ruled out that possibility.

She is not forbidding her to fall in love, that Xu Jiaer is older than An Zhi, although An Zhi got along with her older companions during her studies, but An Zhi is only 14 years old, which is still too young.

Well, it is too young to fall in love. But when she wanted to talk, Yan Xi felt that she couldn’t do anything about it, but fortunately, she tested An Zhi just now and was not in a relationship.

Yan Xi felt that she was about to faint, pressed her forehead, and she concluded, “That’s good, let’s treat it as our secret, okay? Auntie won’t tell anyone.”

“Yeah.” An Zhi nodded obediently, and she asked uneasily, “Auntie, do you think I’m… strange?”

Yan Xi thought to himself: Come on, this question needs to be answered properly.

Can’t let An Zhi find out that she is still in the aftershock.

She must also be reassured. An Zhi must be uneasy now and desperately needs her comfort.

“No.” Yan Xi shook her head, she rubbed An Zhi’s hair, “I don’t think so, I’ve said it before, liking boys and girls is a normal thing, I won’t be prejudiced .”

She was still a little shocked, Yan Xi secretly added in her heart.

Yan Xi’s voice was still so gentle and calm, soothing all her unease. An Zhi’s heart waved slightly and leaned his head against her shoulder.

Yan Xi raised his hand and touched her head, motionless. The two enjoyed the moment of intimacy silently.

An Zhi had just taken a shower, and Kai’s gardenia fragrance, which they were all familiar with, came out from her neck.

But it was a little different. Yan Xi was a little dazed. In addition to the scent of gardenias, there was also a light and clean…slightly sweet scent.

This is the breath of Anzhi.

It smells good.

An Zhi’s pink cheeks rested on her shoulders, and her long and tender eyelashes blinked, and Yan Xi’s heart suddenly became extremely soft.

Yan Xi spoke slowly, “Tao Tao, do you remember I told you about a poet I like very much? Robert Frost, he wrote a poem “The Road Not Taken”.”

Listen quietly.

“Two paths divide in the yellow woods,

It’s a pity I can’t get involved at the same time,

I stood there for a long time at the intersection,

I stared at a road,

until it disappeared deep into the jungle,

But I chose another path,”

…

An Zhi likes Yan Xi’s voice when she reads books, especially when she reads poems, her accent is more accurate, she doesn’t have a serious recitation style, and her ability to interpret words and sentences is very strong, and her hosting skills for so many years are added, clear and quiet.

She faintly felt that Yan Xi was going to tell her something.

Yan Xi suddenly stopped reading, she smiled softly, and said to An Zhi, “Tao Tao, do you know how old my aunt is?”

Huh? An Zhi was a little puzzled, she quickly calculated in her heart, Yan Xi was 15 years older than her, but she hadn’t had her birthday yet, so she was still 28 years old. An Zhi felt that girls in this age group had a bit of a sense of urgency for time. In the past two years, Aunt Liu was very emotional at this age group.

An Zhi felt that he understood, and hurriedly said: “I don’t know, I don’t think my aunt has changed!”

Yan Xi was amused by her, wanted to say something, but couldn’t help but laugh. There seemed to be countless stars circulating in his eyes, and a little bit flew into An Zhi’s heart.

Her heart was muttering: “It really hasn’t changed, and it’s getting better and better and more beautiful.”

Yan Xi pursed her lips, and there was an undisturbed smile on her face, which made her look particularly gentle, “At my age, many girls have families, or couples, or are still waiting for love, or I have to accept blind dates one after another. I receive messages like this every day, asking me to go on a blind date, to fall in love quickly, and to have a baby while I’m young.

It’s as if I’m standing at a fork now, and I haven’t decided how to go, and there’s a steady stream of voices telling me that I have to go where there’s a lot of people. Because ‘everyone goes that way’, because ‘I’m getting old’…” Yan Xi said slowly, no unpleasant expression, but a slightly tired tone.

An Zhi stared at her without interrupting. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Yan Xi had spoken to her about her troubles.

Yan Xi sighed slightly and stroked An Zhi’s hair, “The choice of life is like two different paths in front of you, some people choose the one with more people, some people choose the one with few people, just like this poem says Yes. But no one can say you’re wrong, weird, for your choices, as long as you don’t hurt anyone else.

But once we choose, we have to stick to our choice and take responsibility for all the consequences. ”

Yan Qi gently stroked An Zhi’s temples and smiled at her.

“Auntie will always support you.”

An Zhi’s eyes were a little astringent, he leaned against her shoulder and arched, and whimpered a little: “Yeah!”

Yan Xi smiled and rubbed her head, “You’re just afraid that I think you’re weird, so you did three reading questions wrong?”

“Three Dao, isn’t it a lot for you?” Yan Xi teased.

An Zhi bit her lip, her cheeks suddenly hot.

Of course, one score is 1.5 points, and three wrong ones are almost five points, and they may be pulled down by others.

Also, Yan Xi didn’t call her after school today, and didn’t tell her when she got home, especially after last night.

She was restless all night tonight, expecting Yanxi’s reaction and panicking her reaction. In the tangle, she even thought to herself that if she knew this was the case, she might as well say it all at once.

No, no way! Yan Xi obviously treats her like a child. But what to do, what Yan Xi said is not wrong. At her age, there are voices everywhere forcing her to get married. Although the elders of the Yan family are very tolerant to her, will Yan Xi be single for a few more years?

In fact, she is such an excellent person, who can still be single for so many years and accompany her for so many years.

An Zhi knew that he couldn’t cause her any more trouble.

You must not let her know that you like her.

But, but…

Yan Xi didn’t notice An Zhi’s complicated and chaotic thoughts, smiled and said to her, “Okay, can you rest assured to sleep now?”

She stood up, not giving up, and asked, “Auntie, are you dating now?”

Yan Xi smiled and looked down at her: “I go home so early every day, and I don’t go out much on weekends. I’m calling you too when I call. Do you think I’m dating?”

An Zhi was stunned for a while, although Yan Xi didn’t mean that, but her face turned red all of a sudden.

Yes, dating her, that’s fine.

“Not yet.” Yan Xi decided to satisfy the child’s curiosity. She just walked a few steps, and An Zhi asked again, almost exhausting her courage, “Well, then you said before that you like gentle and sincere people, you didn’t say that it was only for boys, did you mean that girls are also with you? within the scope of consideration…”

“Pfft!…” Yan Xi almost tripped over this sentence, obviously there was nothing on the ground. She coughed a few times and turned to look at An Zhi, “Ah?… This”

An Zhi stared at her nervously. In Yan Xi’s opinion, does she think that An Zhi is still very uneasy, so she is seeking the existence of “companions” and ‘same-sex” people?

“Well… I haven’t considered this issue.” Yan Xi’s forehead was already sweating.

An Zhi was about to say, “Then consider it now!”

She couldn’t say that, so she quickly changed her question: “Auntie, isn’t there a girl to confess to you? Look, many people on the Internet now call you little sister and say they want to marry you!”

Yan Xi was almost stunned by this series of questions, she said a little embarrassedly: “I did have it when I was studying, but I… um, I didn’t think about it that way, um… it’s too late, I’m sleepy…”

“Go to bed early. Don’t play with your phone for too long.” Yan Xi fled away.

When the door closed, An Zhicai slumped on the bed angrily and sighed.

Is it too embarrassing?

But she hopes to see her aunt on the way she chooses! To have Yanxi by her side!
