After hearing this, Mu Liusu finally had some expression on his face, and helplessly stretched out his hand to drag Cai Xiaotang in.
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows at her in a funny way.
"You see, with her curiosity, it's hard not to get into trouble. Fortunately, she just overheard the two of us talking..."
Li Xiao said this to Mu Liusu.
When Mu Liusu heard this, he rubbed Cai Xiaotang's head angrily.
"Didn't I ask you to go back and rest?"
he asked with a frown.
"I……"
Cai Xiaotang hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly answered with wisdom: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you! So I wanted to come over and say a few more words to you!"
"Miss me? Then you spend so much time every day, but I don't see you going to the company to see me."
Mu Liusu exposed her lies without hesitation.
Cai Xiaotang was speechless by him, so she could only look at Li Xiao standing aside with a look of help.
This guy has something to say!
I ran up here because I was worried about him getting scolded!
After receiving her "distress signal", Li Xiao hurriedly coughed and asked, "Did you hear what we just said?"
"Um……"
Cai Xiaotang nodded, glanced cautiously at Mu Liusu next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother... so... you are also a black man?"
"Underworld?"
Mu Liusu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked at Li Xiao, with some doubts in his eyes, as if to say, "What on earth were you talking nonsense to Xiaotang?"
Seeing this, Li Xiao suppressed his laughter even more and hurriedly explained: "Xiaotang, we are not a gangster. Didn't I already tell you?"
"Oh oh oh! That's right! It's not the underworld! It's that...Interpol organization!"
Cai Xiaotang smiled flatteringly at her elder brother.
"Brother... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your secrets, and... only after I know the seriousness of the matter can I know how to protect myself better, and Li Xiao has been teaching me self-defense skills during this time. . Just so that I can run faster when I encounter danger! So I don’t blame him for what happened this time..."
Her last sentence finally hit the point, and Mu Liusu snorted in disbelief.
"I didn't say anything, but you started to protect your shortcomings? How long have you been married, and your elbows are turned outward like this..."
Mu Liusu deliberately complained.
Cai Xiaotang paused after hearing this, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed on her face.
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment. Looking at Cai Xiaotang's expression, an unnatural look flashed across his face.
"I was just talking about the matter...I didn't mean to talk to anyone..." Cai Xiaotang defended palely.
Mu Liusu didn't pursue the matter any further, but worriedly warned: "Now that you already know, I have nothing to hide from you. Li Xiao and I belong to the same organization, and we are on the same level. We are both undercover. The leader of the sect is just in charge of two different groups of people. No one in the Mu family knows about this, so..."
"So I will definitely keep the secret for you! Don't say a word to anyone!"
Before Mu Liusu could finish his words, Cai Xiaotang instantly understood what he meant.
Mu Liusu nodded: "It's good to know. Now that your curiosity is satisfied, can you go back and rest? Li Xiao and I still have something to say."
"Okay! Then I'll go and you guys can talk!"
Knowing that the two of them might have to talk about some secrets, Cai Xiaotang simply turned around and left.
As soon as I closed the door, I suddenly remembered something.
No wonder I felt familiar when I saw Li Xiao's small iron piece with carved patterns before!
My brother seems to have one too!
I saw it accidentally when I went to his study!
That should be something like a sign for a secret door, right?
Cai Xiaotang didn't think much and went back to her room.
As soon as he entered the room, he threw himself directly on the bed.
It was getting dark outside, so she hurriedly turned on the light, and then she felt more at ease.
The room was very quiet, and she couldn't help but think about what happened today.
The memory of the moment I fell into the water is already a little blurry.
At that time, I just felt cold all over, my body was sinking rapidly, and I was almost certain to die.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xiao's anxious face at a glance.
It was he who rescued himself...
I have never felt that surviving is such a happy thing...
It was also the first time I discovered that when it was a matter of life and death, it suddenly occurred to me that there were still so many regrets that had not been completed.
For example, what I want to eat...
What you want to accomplish...
Also, those who didn’t have time to confess.
Fortunately, it's not too late now.
If I suddenly confess my love now, I'm afraid it will scare Li Xiao...
That guy who is straight at one moment and crazy and flirtatious at the other, when should you choose the right moment to express your feelings to him...
Cai Xiaotang was thinking about all kinds of things in his mind, and it didn't take long before he fell into a deep sleep.
In the study -
Li Xiao and Mu Liusu spent another two hours before finally ending their conversation.
After learning that Cai Xiaotang had gone back to the room to rest, Mu Liusu left with peace of mind.
Li Xiao sent the person outside and looked upstairs with some hesitation.
Do you want to go up and see her...
After being so frightened today, she must not be as calm as she appears...
Li Xiao pondered for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly and went to the direction of Cai Xiaotang's room.
"Knock knock knock——"
He stood outside the door and knocked tentatively.
There was no sound in the room.
"Candy?"
Li Xiao shouted again.
The room was still quiet and there was no response.
"are you asleep……"
Li Xiao frowned slightly, looked at the light coming from under the door, and tentatively turned the handle.
There was a "click" sound, and the door was not locked.
He walked in smoothly and immediately saw a figure curled up on the bed.
Cai Xiaotang almost huddled together, her face flushed abnormally, but the quilt was kicked aside by her.
"Candy!"
Seeing something was wrong with her, Li Xiao hurriedly walked over and reached out to test the temperature of her forehead.
It was indeed piping hot.
"Cai Xiaotang? Xiaotang?"
Li Xiao tentatively called Cai Xiaotang a few more times.
However, Cai Xiaotang kept her eyes closed, her lips pursed tightly, and her chest kept rising and falling.
In her dream, she was surrounded by endless sea water.
She tried hard to breathe, but it was all in vain. Her chest felt uncomfortable and tight, and everything she could see was blue, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Help……
Who will save her...
Cai Xiaotang closed her mouth tightly, fearing that if she opened a small gap, she would be choked to death.
The next second——
She suddenly felt her wrist being pulled upwards.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Cai Xiaotang grabbed the warmth that was within reach...
