at night.
Xia Li carefully read the "Dog Raising Guide" sent to him by Xie Yin.
Because she couldn't appear in Tingyuan anytime and anywhere, she took Ye Ye home with her.
Yeye is very well-behaved and is currently sleeping in the temporary nest built by Xia Li. If you listen closely, you can hear its subtle snoring.
Xia Li was really uncomfortable with the sudden addition of such a little guy to the family.
Xia Li carefully read through the "Guide to Raising Dogs" and did not forget to sit up from the bed and take a look at Coco, who was lying next to the wall.
Seeing that it was sleeping soundly, she felt relieved.
A little Li: [Mr. Xie, I’ve finished reading. Don't worry, I will take care of Ye Ye in strict accordance with the documents. 】
The person on the other end of the phone quickly responded with a five-second voice message.
Xia Li clicked on the voice bar, and the man's deep voice came out gently through the phone receiver.
"Well, don't forget to take care of yourself."
In the dark room, Xia Li only left a dim bedside lamp, and the man's rich and mellow voice sounded in the quiet room.
She felt as if her heart was suddenly lifted by an invisible hook, and her fingertips holding the phone felt slightly numb.
Xia Li swallowed quietly and replied with trembling fingertips.
Xie Yin's eyes fell on the girl's reply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He put his phone in his pocket, stood up, took the suit jacket hanging on the hanger and put it on. When he walked out of the study, he said softly to Ji Cheng who was standing outside the door:
"Go back to Hong Kong City."
Not long after exiting the chat box with Xie Yin, a voice call from Chu Shishi popped up at the top of the phone screen.
Xia Li pressed the answer button without thinking.
"Li Li, do you have a dog? I think the Samoyed you posted on your WeChat account is so cute."
She had taken several photos of Coconut in Tingyuan before. She thought they were cute and posted them directly on WeChat Moments without thinking too much.
Then under the dim light, Xia Li glanced at Ye Ye, who was sleeping soundly in his den:
"I didn't raise him, he was raised by Xie Yin."
"ah?"
Chu Shishi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a second, as if she was surprised or wondering if her ears were hallucinating.
"Who do you think raised him? Xie Yin?"
Xia Li didn't take Chu Shishi's surprise seriously:
"Well, he said he was going on a business trip these two days, so he asked me to help take care of his dog."
"You told me that the cute Samoyed in the photo was raised by Xie Yin?"
Chu Shishi opened Xia Li's circle of friends suspiciously and carefully enlarged the picture of Ye Ye having fun.
Such a cute puppy, did you tell her that it was the dog raised by the ruthless Mr. Xie from Hong Kong City?
She, Chu Shishi, absolutely didn't believe it.
No matter how you look at it, people like Xie Yin should at least raise some cool and handsome dogs such as Dobermans. Raising such cute Samoyeds is completely inconsistent with the aura of the head of the Xie family.
Hearing the surprise in Chu Shishi's words, Xia Li told Chu Shishi the whole story.
After finishing speaking, Xia Li did not forget to conclude:
"I feel that Mr. Xie is quite kind."
He is obviously not a dog lover, but he would choose to take a dying puppy home on a rainy night.
Chu Shishi on the other end of the phone twitched the corners of her mouth twice when she made the final summary of Xia Li.
Kind?
who?
Who is being said to be kind?
Xie Yin?
Did she hear it correctly?
"Li Li, do you have any misunderstanding about Mr. Xie?"
Although she was not familiar with Xie Yin, she had heard some things about him before.
Although the Xia family is defeated now, the Xia family definitely knows what kind of person Xie Yin is.
How could a man who was so ruthless that he could even kill blood relatives have such a kind heart?
Xia Li, who was lying on the bed, turned over and yawned softly:
"No, after meeting Mr. Xie, it doesn't seem to be as scary as everyone said."
Chu Shishi sighed softly: "I hope so, but Li Li, you must not offend him."
Although Xia Li said that Xie Yin was a nice person, Chu Shishi was still a little worried about Xia Li.
"Know it."
Chu Shishi pursed her lower lip and changed the topic: "By the way, Li Li, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? I have to go to school tomorrow morning to work on the exhibition."
The start time of the graduation exhibition was approaching, and in order to be in the top three, she had to face it with great energy.
"How about having dinner together at noon?" Chu Shishi said, "My brother said that the three of us haven't gotten together for a long time, so let's get together."
"OK."
-
The next day Xia Li got up early, put a chain on Ye Ye and went for a walk downstairs.
This was the first time since she entered college that she had gotten up so early to do morning exercises.
The appearance of the coconut coconut is so good that many adults and mothers who do morning exercises in the community can't help but praise the cuteness after seeing the coconut coconut.
After walking around the community, Xia Li took Ye Ye to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community and bought two buns.
After returning home and briefly washing up, Xia Li poured some dog food and water for Ye Ye and rubbed Ye Ye’s head before going out.
There is less than a week left until the graduation exhibition begins, and the exhibitions of the surrounding students are slowly approaching completion.
Xia Li arrived at the exhibition hall very early and pushed open the door of the exhibition hall. It was dark inside.
She stretched out her arm to find a switch on the wall in the dark, turned on the lights in the exhibition hall, and walked straight to her booth.
Xia Li stood in front of the booth and observed his work carefully, and then devoted himself to modifying the details of the exhibition.
Chu Shishi and Chu Wang came to the exhibition hall near noon.
"Li Li!" As soon as she entered the door of the exhibition hall, Chu Shishi couldn't wait to run to Xia Li's side.
Xia Li put down the things in his hands, turned his head and looked at Chu Shishi who was running towards him, and slowly stood up.
"Baby Li Li!"
As soon as they met, Chu Shishi hugged Xia Li.
Xia Li's eyes inadvertently fell on the man who was slowly walking towards them.
Chu Wang stopped in front of the two girls and looked at Xia Li with a gentle smile.
The man's voice was like lukewarm boiled water:
"Long time no see, Li Li."
Xia Li was slightly startled: "It's been a long time indeed, brother Chu Wang."
Chu Wang is two years older than Chu Shishi and Xia Li.
When they were young, the two children liked to pull Chu Wang to play with them.
Sometimes when he gets into trouble, Chu Wang will be blamed.
As a result, Chu Wang had been scolded so many times that he could not count.
Later, when they were in their second year of high school, Chu Wang decided to study abroad.
It's been more than six years since I left.
We meet again after six years. People we were familiar with in the past are standing in front of us now, but they feel strange.
Chu Wang's lips curved into a gentle smile:
"I haven't seen her in these years, but she's still so beautiful."
Xia Li pursed her lower lip slightly: "Thank you."
There was a hint of embarrassment in the atmosphere. As if to relieve the embarrassment, Chu Wang raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
Xia Li's eyes accidentally fell on the watch Chu Wang was wearing, and she discovered that the watch was the same style as the one she bought for Xie Yin.
Chu Wang coughed lightly and spoke to relieve the embarrassment:
"It's getting late, let's... go have dinner first?"
"Okay!" Chu Shishi's eyes lit up when she heard the word "eat".
She leaned into Xia Li's ear and whispered:
"My brother finally came back, let's kill him hard!"
The voice was not loud, but in the quiet exhibition hall, every word was still transmitted to the ears of Chu Wang.
Chu Wang tugged on the collar of Chu Shishi's clothes and "teared" her away from Xia Li:
"Chu Shishi, what bad ideas are you planning against your brother again?"
"W-where is there..."
Chu Shishi smiled guiltily at Chu Wang:
"How could I have a bad idea?"
I just want to kill him.
What bad intentions are there?
While eating, Chu Wang ordered a table of dishes that Xia Li used to like.
Chu Wang gave Xia Li a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs:
"Li Li, your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs before, do you want to try it?"
"Brother Chu Wang." Xia Li looked at the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl and looked at Chu Wang with some embarrassment.
"I don't like eating sweet and sour pork ribs anymore."
She used to really like sweet and sour pork ribs, especially those made by Chu Wang.
But as she grew older, she had to admit that she was tired of the sweet and sour pork ribs dish.
Chu Wang's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, that's it..."
While eating, Xia Li's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Xie Yin.
She glanced at Chu Shishi and Chu Wang beside her, hesitated for a moment before pressing the hang up button.
The next second, the man's message popped up on the screen.
X: [Huh? 】
Xia Li lowered his head and replied to the message: [Mr. Xie, it’s not convenient for me to answer the phone outside. 】
Chu Wang watched Xia Li's every move, picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip:
"Replying to your boyfriend's message?"
As soon as the gentle voice fell, Xie Yin's message popped up on the screen of the mobile phone in his hand.
Xia Li shook his head and denied, "No, I don't have a boyfriend yet. I'm just an ordinary friend."
After saying that, he lowered his head to read the message sent by Xie Yin.
X: [Call me when it’s convenient. 】
Xia Li replied with trembling fingers, then closed the phone and put it aside.
"You haven't talked about a boyfriend yet?" Chu Wang asked when Xia Li put down his phone.
Xia Li nodded: "Brother Chu Wang, what about you? Do you have a partner?"
Chu Wang smiled and shook his head:
"Neither have I."
Because he had something on his mind, after dinner, Xia Li did not go back to the exhibition hall but chose to go home directly.
"Brother Chu Wang, just stop at the gate of the community."
Chu Wang raised his eyes and looked through the rearview mirror at Xia Li, who was sitting in the back seat: "Don't I need to send you in?"
"No need," Xia Li said, "I just happened to be full and wanted to take a walk."
Chu Wang said hello with some disappointment.
As soon as she opened the door, Yeye waggled her tail and looked longingly at Xia Li who walked in.
Xia Li bent down and rubbed Coconut's head before changing his shoes and entering the house.
She sat down on the sofa and looked at Ye Ye who was clinging to her legs and wagging her tail. She originally wanted to call Xie Yin directly, but she was worried that Xie Yin was busy, so she took out her mobile phone and sent Xie Yin a video. message.
A little Li: [Mr. Xie, are you busy? I'm empty now. 】
The next second the message was sent, Xie Yin made a video call.
Looking at the video call page that the man popped up, Xia Li tightened her grip on the phone.
There was an incoming call ringtone coming from the mobile phone, and Miriam Yang's singing sounded softly in the living room.
Ye Ye was rubbing her legs and acting coquettishly at her.
Xia Li felt an inexplicable sense of tension and expectation in her heart. She tried hard to adjust her breathing, trying to calm her disordered heartbeat.
Her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and she pressed the answer button with trembling fingertips.
