Chapter 1,257 Xiaozhe Grows Up

Chapter 1257     Xiaozhe after growing up

"Mom, don't worry about me! I'm so old now!" Shi Ran stood up immediately and took the initiative to hug his mother.

Shi Ran suddenly found that his mother was much shorter than him.

When I was a child, I always felt that my mother was very tall and very capable, as if she could do everything.

When I was a child, I always felt that I was very relieved to have my mother around.

When I was a child, I always felt that no matter what kind of wind and rain, as long as my mother was by my side, everything was fearless.

At this moment, Shi Ran suddenly felt that his mother was really old.

Although she was still well maintained, her thin shoulders could no longer bear too much wind and rain.

Wrinkles began to appear at the corners of her eyes, and her once round face began to sag.

Although Shi Ran didn't want to admit it, the reality was indeed so.

Shi Ran suddenly began to blame himself.

How unfilial he was, making his mother worry about him, not sleeping well and not eating well.

"Mom..." Shi Ran's voice was soft like when he was a child, and he no longer had the high spirits when he was a big shot outside, as if he had returned to his childhood.

Shi Yijin smiled immediately.

She raised her hand and patted the back of her son's hand: "You are so old, and you still act like a spoiled child with your mother."

"Mom, I won't let you down." Shi Ran said in a low voice: "I just want to hold on a little longer and try harder. I don't want to miss the happiness of this life. If Xiaohe really decides to give up on me and choose Joel, I will let go."

"Okay. Mom believes in you. You are so great and outstanding, you will definitely find your own direction." Shi Yijin smiled and said: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Shi Ran slowly let go of Shi Yijin.

Shi Yijin said slowly: "Your brother has to participate in school activities tomorrow, so I won't talk to you. I have to get up early to prepare things for him."

"Yeah, Mom, good night." Shi Ran said with a smile.

"Good night." Shi Yijin smiled and got up and left.

While Shi Yijin was talking to Shi Ran, Xiaozhe sat alone on the cold steps, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

Xiaozhe is now 22 years old.

She was originally a mixed-race beauty from the Three Kingdoms, and she became more beautiful after opening her eyes.

After so many years of training and tempering, Xiaozhe has become a talent who can stand on her own.

She did a lot of things for Shi Ran.

It was late at night, but she couldn't sleep.

Today, Shi Ran's expression was very wrong.

Xiaozhe knew that all the wrong things about Shi Ran were related to Shen He.

Over the years, Xiaozhe has been secretly watching Shen He, watching how the once cute princess transformed into a princess of the empire.

Xiaozhe feels that he has grown up very quickly, but compared with the princess of the empire, there is still a huge gap.

It is reasonable for Shi Ran to like the princess of the empire, right?

But why is my heart so sour?

Why is it so uncomfortable?

Shi Ran dressed so handsomely today, is he going on a date with Shen He?

Is he going to... confess to Shen He?

Is he going to... be with Shen He?

When Xiaozhe thought of this possibility, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Shi Ran has loved Shen He for so long, and he has loved Shi Ran for a long, long time with a smile.

This seems to be a dead knot.

It tied several people together tightly, and no one has the strength to open this dead knot.

So, they can only stay there in melancholy, entangled, and painful.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" A voice came from behind, and Xiaozhe looked back and saw that it was Tom from the team.

Tom is a typical American, with a particularly large frame, and looks big and strong.

"You didn't sleep either?" Xiaozhe straightened his back and looked at Tom: "I can't sleep, so I'll sit here and look at the moon."

Tom sat next to Xiaozhe, looked at the moon in the sky with Xiaozhe, and said: "Are you worried about Shi Ran? Today, when he went out, he did look a little worried. Xiaozhe, there are some things we have been holding back for a long time, and we don't know how to talk to you about this. But after all, we are a team, we are a family, so we can't bear to see you always depressed."

"I know." Xiaozhe lowered his eyes and said: "Tom, do you think Ran will give up on us?"

"No! I believe him!" Tom is a natural optimist, and he is also the most enthusiastic person in the team: "We have been through so many things together No matter how many ups and downs there are, Ran will never abandon any of us. "

Xiaozhe whispered: "But I can't get any response from him."

"Xiaozhe, although it's a bit cruel to say this. But I still want to say, give up. You've liked him for so long, and you can see it clearly. The person Shi Ran likes has always been the princess of the empire. You can't compare with her. If you continue, you will only be bruised and battered. "Tom said bluntly: "How long can you hold on? Aren't you tired?"

"Why not?" Xiaozhe replied: "But I can't let go at all. So many years of living together day and night, so many years of feelings, have long been deep in my bones and soul. How can I give up just like that? Tom, if I give up, I can only leave here. "

Tom stopped talking for a while.

He couldn't let Xiaozhe leave.

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me." Xiaozhe said, "I appreciate your kindness. I won't give up easily. I'm only 22 years old, and I still have a lot of patience."

Tom shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay. I don't know what to persuade. You have always been a very opinionated person. This kind of thing is really not something that others can easily veto. Just protect yourself and don't always hurt yourself."

Xiaozhe nodded.

After Tom left, Xiaozhe continued to look up at the moon in the sky.

There was only a crescent moon left on the moon. I wonder how many people can sit on it...

It seems that many people didn't sleep well this night.

Shi Ran and Xiaozhe both tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so how could Shen He sleep peacefully?

It wasn't until dawn that Shen He fell asleep in a daze.

Maybe everyone in the family knew that Shen He didn't sleep well last night, so no one disturbed her.

The nanny who was cleaning walked lightly, for fear of waking her up.

However, Shen He still woke up.

The biological clock is really a magical species. No matter what, it can't outlast its faithful function.

Shen He woke up at around eight in the morning. She looked at the time and got up.

When Shen He went downstairs, she saw that no one was at home. They probably all went out.

At this time, Gong Ziya came in from outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Shen He: "Xiao He, you are finally awake."

"Huh? Why are you here?" Shen He looked at Gong Ziya in surprise: "Aren't you busy helping Mommy these days?"

"No matter how much you help, you must do your job well!" Gong Ziya handed a file to Shen He: "By the way, Shi Xiaoyan, who you asked me to investigate, did a big thing today."
