Cai Xiaotang was busy for several days, and even the time to find Li Xiao was reduced a lot.
Li Xiao didn't ask any questions. Seeing that there was just enough distance between the two of them, he let her go.
weekend--
Cai Xiaotang finally finished all the preparations.
The garden here was originally in a state of neglect. She spent a lot of time cleaning up all the weeds. She also followed the online tutorials to carefully create a small piece of land, transplanted some flowers into it, and even bought some special ones. A set of exquisite small tables and chairs are placed aside.
Coupled with the small colored lights like stars that light up regularly at night, it adds a lot of vitality to the entire garden.
"Done!"
Cai Xiaotang stood in the garden, looking at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction. Thinking of tonight's actions, she suddenly couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
How to invite someone?
If I tell Li Xiao directly that I have something to say to him, I don’t know if he will come...
Cai Xiaotang looked up in the direction of the study room upstairs, thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.
She returned to the room, found the small card she had bought a few days ago from the table, and then spread it out on the table, but she had some difficulty picking up the pen.
It would be better to say it in person than to invite directly by card... But how to write it?
Cai Xiaotang propped her chin up, with words in her head so messed up that she couldn't string together a complete sentence.
She thought for a long time, finally decided what to say, and tentatively put pen to paper on the card.
"Opening...invitation..."
Cai Xiaotang murmured quietly and carefully wrote what she wanted to say on the card, for fear of writing a wrong word.
The sun slowly set, coating the room with a golden light.
Cai Xiaotang wrote the last word and just saw a little bit of the sunset.
When it gets darker, the lights in the garden will automatically turn on.
She took a deep breath, carefully put the card into her pajamas pocket, looked at the time again, and waited quietly.
Not long after——
"Knock knock knock——"
As expected, there was a knock on her door.
"Ms. Cai, it's time for dinner."
Someone said outside the door.
Cai Xiaotang hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I understand."
The visitor heard her speak and turned around to leave.
Cai Xiaotang listened to him walking away, then opened the door a little, and sure enough, she heard the man continue upstairs.
Not long after, two footsteps sounded at the same time, one behind the other.
It was Li Xiao and his subordinates who knocked on the door just now.
A flash of joy suddenly flashed across Cai Xiaotang's face.
I also wanted to take the opportunity to deliver food to Li Xiao and hide the card in the tray...
Since he went downstairs by himself, let's take this opportunity to sneak up!
Cai Xiaotang was thinking as she tiptoed out of the door and quickly went to the study room upstairs.
The corridor was quiet. She opened the door carefully, and sure enough, there was no one inside.
"call……"
Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, hurriedly took out the small card from his pocket, and placed it in the center of the desk.
After thinking for a while, he pressed the corner of the cup with a cup on the side, and then left with peace of mind.
Invitations have been sent out!
Next...it's time to wait for someone to make an appointment!
She sneaked back to her room, saying she wasn't hungry now and didn't go downstairs to eat.
Then she quickly dressed up and picked out a nice skirt to put on.
Not long after, footsteps were heard on the stairs again, and it seemed that Li Xiao was returning.
Cai Xiaotang instantly became nervous and hurriedly opened the door and walked out, all the way to the garden behind.
All the small lights there have been turned on, making it appear quiet and elegant against the surrounding flowers and other decorations.
Cai Xiaotang looked at the time and sat down at the small table nearby.
On top of it were a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses that she had left behind.
Cai Xiaotang simply opened the cork, poured herself half a glass of red wine, and took a small sip.
Don't drink too much today... Just drink a little to feel brave!
Cai Xiaotang warned herself in her heart, sipping the red wine in her glass bit by bit, but she heard her heartbeat beating faster and faster in her ears.
Half an hour is too long...
If I had known, I would have written at seven o'clock sharp!
Times are so difficult right now...
…
upstairs.
As soon as Li Xiao entered the study, he saw the extra small card on the table.
He raised his eyebrows and walked over to pick it up.
Is this what Cai Xiaotang put here just now?
He looked at the gadget in his hand with some amusement, turned it over, and saw a line of small words on the back.
"Cai's Garden opens today, and Mr. Li Xiao is specially invited to be the special guest tonight. At 7:30, we will go to the villa garden... I hope you will come on time?"
Li Xiao read out the words on the card and felt a little funny for a moment.
No wonder she has been busy in the garden these past two days. It turns out it was for this...
This card is quite her style.
Li Xiao put down the card and walked directly to the window.
I happened to see the bright lights in the flowers downstairs, but I didn't see Cai Xiaotang's shadow.
Since she had already extended the invitation so sincerely, wouldn't it be a bit too much if she didn't go?
Li Xiao thought for a while and finally decided to go to the appointment and turned around and left the study.
Passing through the living room, you come to the small door leading to the back garden.
Through the glass, Li Xiao saw Cai Xiaotang sitting at the seat arranged under the tree.
He opened the door and walked out.
Hearing the voice, Cai Xiaotang immediately turned around, and her expression became extremely nervous the moment she saw him.
"You...you're here..."
Cai Xiaotang stammered a greeting to him, then pointed to the seat next to her: "Sit down."
Li Xiao nodded, sat down casually, and carefully admired the garden in front of him.
"How's it going? Is the layout pretty good?"
Cai Xiaotang asked as she had nothing to say.
"It's really good, very beautiful. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Xiao praised her, then saw the wine bottle and the obviously used wine glass on the table, and asked with a smile: "Are you still drinking?"
"Um."
Cai Xiaotang's palms were sweating, so she responded, then picked up the wine glass and poured herself some red wine.
When Li Xiao saw this, he simply poured himself a glass.
Neither of them spoke, and looked at the scenery in the garden silently.
Cai Xiaotang held the wine glass and kept looking at the people around her from the corner of her eye. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Cai Xiaotang!
You are too cowardly!
Everyone has already arrived. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time!
Haven't you already thought that extending your head is also a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife?
Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down the tension at the moment.
But the more he wanted to calm down, the more he couldn't calm down.
She pursed her lips, and a flash of determination suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Fight!
Isn't it just a confession?
