At night, the cold wind brought the chill of early winter.

In the alley leading to Lezi's house, a clear figure stood in the darkness, his thin eyes looking towards the entrance of the alley from time to time.

He had been waiting for a while, and now the night was getting darker and frost was hanging on the tips of his hair.

A soft voice came from above the head, more like it came from the sky.

"Who are you waiting for here?"

Xu Jingxi was stunned and quickly looked up, only to see Shen Ningning smiling and swaying her little feet, sitting on the highest eaves next to him!

"You...why are you here?" Xu Jingxi was stunned.

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling like stars.

The starry sky behind the little guy is like the hem of her skirt hanging behind her, shining brightly.

"Well, I should be asking you this question. Let me guess, you must be here to remind Liang Yici not to enter the leper's house to avoid falling into Xie Yuanjiu's trap, right?"

Looking at Shen Ningning's smiling face, Xu Jingxi looked away from her guilty eyes and said in a cold tone: "No."

The little guy doesn’t believe it.

Hum.

Just deny it!

Shen Ningning held her chin with her small hands and sat firmly: "I'm not a three-year-old child, you can't deceive me! But why are you so nice to Liang Yici?"

"Could it be..." She deliberately prolonged her tone softly.

Xu Jingxi was inexplicably nervous.

"Do you like her?" The little guy said something shocking. Xu Jingxi suddenly raised her head, her thin eyes filled with surprise.

"No!" He denied quickly, with an unprecedented look on his face.

It seemed that what Shen Ningning said was so ridiculous that even Xu Jingxi, who had always been serious and steady, felt helpless.

Xu Jingxi: "I just wanted to give her a kind reminder for the sake of being a classmate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with her."

"Besides, don't you also hate Xie Yuanjiu? It's not like your temperament to see her succeed in harming others."

Xu Jingxi was really very sharp and intelligent. When he encountered a question that he didn't want to answer, he would change the topic back to Shen Ningning.

However, the little guy was extremely clever, how could he not figure out Xu Jingxi's intention?

She hummed and laughed: "That's my temperament. Anyway, Liang Yici doesn't appreciate it, and I have no intention of reminding her. How Xie Yuanjiu wants to deal with her is their business."

As he said that, the little guy put his arms around his shoulders: "I don't care!"

Xu Jingxi looked up at her with a complicated expression.

It seems that if you are not honest today, you will not be able to pass Shen Ningning's test.

He sighed quietly.

"Come down first and I'll explain it to you properly."

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly.

He was finally willing to tell the truth!

However, the little guy looked back, covered his mouth with his little hands, and exclaimed——

"Oops, the uncle next door took the ladder away!"

In order to catch Xu Jingxi, she came and sat down in the evening.

At that time, the uncle next door was still repairing the roof, and the little guy used his ladder to climb up.

She was afraid that adults would find her climbing the wall and playing, so the little one always used the big trees around her to cover her body.

Unexpectedly, the uncle took the ladder away!

She must have accidentally fallen asleep on the tree just now, damn it!

Shen Ningning looked at the ground, feeling as far away as the starry sky.

She glanced helplessly at her two little feet.

It’s over! It can't be reached even if it is stretched.

Xu Jingxi couldn't help laughing when he saw her helpless look on the eaves of the wall.

"Can't you come down?" His voice was low and pleasant.

Shen Ningning curled her lips and sighed like a little adult: "Hey~"

Xu Jingxi opened her arms: "You jump down, I will catch you."

Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment.

She looked at Xu Jingxi's thin body, and then looked at his right hand that had just recovered.

"Am I going to smash you into a meat pie?" Shen Ningning imagined how she would jump down and collapse Xu Jingxi.

Xu Jingxi's handsome face was filled with a helpless smile.

"Although I am thin, I am by no means weak. You will know after you jump down and give it a try."

Shen Ningning exhaled a breath of milk: "Okay!"

She jumped down suddenly, the wind whistling in her ears. When she reacted again, Xu Jingxi had indeed caught her firmly.

He hugged her gently in a very gentlemanly manner. When the little one was safe, Xu Jingxi put her on the ground.

By the way, his slender fingers picked off a green leaf on the top of her head.

"How long have you been waiting here?"

"It's been almost an hour and a half since evening." Shen Ningning said softly and touched her belly.

Fortunately, she had Wonderland at hand, so she wasn't bored while eating and waiting.

Xu Jingxi looked at her deeply. For a long time, he sighed and lowered his head.

"I want to tell you something, something I've never told anyone else."

"That is, I know that I may be Mr. Xie's son."

Shen Ningning's eyes widened.

Although she had a premonition, she didn't expect that Xu Jingxi already knew about it!

"You, you know he is the second uncle's son, why have you never been to Xie's Mansion, nor have you come to see his second uncle?" The little guy was surprised.

Xu Jingxi held her hand and saw that it was oily, as if she had just eaten chicken legs.

He knelt down and wiped Shen Ningning's little hands with his clean robe.

Like a brother taking care of his sister, he is patient and meticulous.

"I'm different from you, Ning Ning." His voice became a little warm and cold for the first time.

"Before I was three years old, I was actually born in the border area."

Shen Ningning was shocked when she heard this.

"So, you...you are Aunt Qingdai's...son!? Then you and Liang Yici are..."

Xu Jingxi lowered her head with an unpredictable expression: "She and I should be siblings."

Shen Ningning opened her little hand to cover her mouth, her eyes shining with surprise.

No wonder Xu Jingxi always looked at Liang Yici more than once.

No wonder their facial features and eyebrows are somewhat similar.

so!

Fang Qingdai gave birth to two children for her second uncle!

Shen Ningning's little brain couldn't function properly.

Xu Jingxi explained the matter simply.

It turned out that when he left the frontier, he had already remembered the incident.

Xu Jingxi has known since he was a child that the crescent jade pendant on his body was given to him by his father, but this father was not General Liang.

He remembered that when he was three years old, news came from the capital that Mr. Xie suddenly vomited blood and was about to die soon.

As soon as he celebrated his sister's birthday, General Liang handed him over to a wet nurse and asked her to take him back to Beijing so that he could meet his biological father, but he hid this from his mother.

Xu Jingxi didn't understand at that time, so he asked General Liang why his sister didn't go with him.

General Liang only stroked his head and said: "Your mother will not return to Beijing. I keep your sister here to give her a thought."

Xu Jingxi was taken away by her wet nurse. What she never expected was that there was a flash flood on the way. The wet nurse and the accompanying guards all died in the flood.

When he woke up again, he had been picked up by Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu's village was destroyed by a flash flood. Hearing that he was from Lion's Head City on the border, he carried him back to find his relatives.

Unexpectedly, I saw white flags hanging all over the city. After careful questioning, I found out that the eldest son of General Fang and General Liang had died.

Xu Jingxi asked Grandpa Xu to take him to Beijing to find his biological father.

They rushed to the capital after a long and dusty journey. Xu Jingxi went outside the Xie Mansion, wanting to visit Mr. Xie who was seriously ill.

Unexpectedly, I saw Mr. Xie sitting in a wheelchair, with Xie Yuanjiu following him, calling for his father.

He watched helplessly as they boarded the carriage together.

Second Master Xie saw Xu Jingxi, but he did not expect that the dirty little beggar in front of him would be his biological son.

So, Mr. Xie asked the concierge to give Xu Jingxi some silver and then left.

The concierge urged them to leave. Xu Jingxi looked at Mr. Xie Juechen's carriage. At that moment, he seemed to feel abandoned.

News of his death had already spread in his mother's home.

There is no place for him in his father's home.

It turns out that he has no home. (End of chapter)
