Chapter 203 Xie Jincheng, You're Doomed to Lose This Time
In early autumn, the Xie family's old house was shrouded in silence at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.
The old house looked a little weird and mysterious under the moonlight, with long mottled shadows projected on the courtyard wall.
Xie Tianyi sat alone in front of the computer desk in his bedroom. He was surrounded by darkness, with only a dim desk lamp emitting a faint light.
This little bit of light seemed particularly lonely in the spacious room and could hardly fully illuminate his gloomy face.
In the dim light, his face was like a black and white picture, cut into pieces of varying depths, making his originally round face look unusually strange and gloomy.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with cruelty and determination.
The messy hair was slightly greasy, and a few strands of willow-like hair gently hung on the forehead, making the outline look more rounded in the semi-dark light.
He was wearing a loose cartoon-patterned T-shirt with a faded image of Hatsune Miku printed on it, and the hem of his shirt protruded slightly from his plump waistline.
With a click of his mouse, he sent an encrypted email to a person codenamed "M".
Xie Tianyi murmured in a low voice: "Xie Jincheng, this time, you are doomed to lose."
In the silent room, the door slowly opened without making a sound.
At the same time, the light at the door was gently pressed, illuminating the entire room.
Li Xiujin walked in carefully carrying a bowl of steaming noodles, a look of concern on her face.
She walked to Xie Tianyi and said gently, "Tianyi, you didn't eat much tonight, so Mom asked the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. Come and eat."
Xie Tianyi quickly switched the computer screen to the game interface, then smiled and said to Li Xiujin: "Mom, how did you know I wanted to eat noodles?"
Li Xiujin put the noodles on the coffee table, smiled and waved to Xie Tianyi to come over: "Come here quickly, the noodles will not taste good if they clump together."
Xie Tianyi put down the mouse in his hand, stood up and walked to the sofa. After sitting down, he picked up the bowl of fragrant spicy shredded chicken noodles and began to slurp it impatiently.
Li Xiujin sat beside him, watching her son wolfing down his food, her eyes full of smiles: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
With his mouth full of food, Xie Tianyi replied vaguely, “Well, OK!”
Li Xiujin glanced at his messy hair and sighed softly.
Xie Tianyi is 33 years old this year, but ever since that incident, he has locked himself in his old house and has not gone out at all.
Apart from eating and sleeping, he plays games day and night.
She also tried to persuade her son to come out of the shadow, but failed every time.
Li Xiujing thought about what had happened over the years and walked over to the sofa next to Xie Tianyi and sat down.
"Son, next time you play games at night, remember to turn on the lights, otherwise it's bad for your eyes."
Xie Tianyi was eating noodles in big mouthfuls. When he heard his mother's words, he just said "hmm" and continued to slurp the noodles.
"Your aunt..."
Li Xiujing looked at her son, feeling extremely conflicted, not knowing whether she should say what she was going to say next.
It turned out that Xie Tianyi's aunt Xie Xian, seeing that Wei Yan and her son were useless and unable to help her realize her ambitions, began to have evil thoughts and set her sights on her nephew Xie Tianyi.
She attempted to achieve her goal by arranging a marriage with a prominent lady in the capital.
In this way, we can not only strengthen our own power, but also rely on external forces to reverse the current unfavorable situation and achieve a turnaround.
Although Xie Tianyi has become depressed and decadent now, he is still the eldest grandson of the Xie family.
Once Mr. Xie passes away in the future, according to family tradition, he will definitely receive a considerable inheritance.
It is precisely based on this point that even though the entire capital city knows that Xie Tianyi is just a useless fat otaku, there are still many people willing to send their daughters to the Xie family.
Xie Tianyi seemed to see through his mother's thoughts. He took a sip of the hot soup, then put down the spoon, looked at his mother calmly, and spoke first:
"Mom, did my aunt introduce me to another girl for a blind date?"
Li Xiujin looked at her son in surprise. She didn't expect him to ask about this topic on his own initiative.
She nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, Tianyi, you are already an adult. Your father only has you as his son. You can't let our Xie family die."
After saying this, Li Xiujing fell silent, her eyes filled with helplessness and pain.
For Xie Tianyi, every time he heard his mother Li Xiujing say this, his heart would be hurt, but this time, he did not choose to escape or refuse politely as he did in the past.
Instead, he silently finished the food in the bowl, then slowly raised his head, looked at his mother, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"The blind date is Mr. Li's niece, right? Have we set a time to meet?"
Li Xiujin was slightly stunned. She didn't expect her son to accept this arrangement so calmly.
She had prepared a lot of words of persuasion, but now they were all stuck in her throat.
She opened her eyes wide, filled with surprise and emotion.
"Not yet, Tianyi, your aunt just asked me to ask you what you think first. If you think it's okay, I will discuss the specific meeting time with your aunt."
Li Xiujin's voice trembled with excitement.
"Don't bother, Mom. Just ask your aunt to give me her contact information. I want to talk to her first."
"Hey! Okay, okay!"
Li Xiujin nodded excitedly, her eyes moist and tears almost burst out.
After so many years, her son finally let go of his worries and moved on.
"Then I'll go tell your aunt right now!"
......
It was a dark night, and the moonlight shone into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.
Silvery-white light and darkness interweave, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The interior of the room is warmly decorated, with wedding photos of Shi Yue and He Yang hanging on the wall.
Shi Yue was sleeping soundly, but her brows were furrowed from time to time.
Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Suddenly, she didn't know what she was dreaming about, her eyes opened instantly, and her pupils were full of fear.
Her face was pale and her chest heaving violently.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the bed sheets, and her rapid breathing was particularly abrupt in the silent room.
Looking around, as her consciousness gradually returned from the nightmare, she realized that it was just a dream.
However, that inexplicable feeling of fear still lingered, making it difficult for her to calm down.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm and comforted herself: "It's just a dream, just a dream..."
She tried to calm herself down, took a few deep breaths, and finally relaxed a little.
Shi Yue reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table, and fumbled to find a small music box.
This was given to her by He Yang when she was in the southwestern border.
My fingers gently turned the music box, and the melodious melody gradually filled the room.
With the accompaniment of music, Shi Yue lay down again and pulled the soft quilt to wrap her body.
She closed her eyes and subconsciously touched her abdomen with one hand.
"He Yang, you must come back safely. My baby and I are waiting for you to come home."
