There seemed to be a strange aura between the three people.
Cai Xiaotang looked at Li Xiao, but found that his eyes seemed to be looking at Liu Qingze next to her. He coughed hurriedly and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I happened to be nearby. I thought you should be finished soon, so I waited for a short while."
When Li Xiao heard this, he withdrew his gaze and smiled at Cai Xiaotang.
Cai Xiaotang did not believe what he said.
Even if you happen to be nearby, how do you know you are eating here?
Someone must have checked his whereabouts again...
She complained in her mind, then looked at Liu Qingze beside her and said, "Then I'll go back first. You should go home early. Do you need me to call a car for you?"
"Need not."
Liu Qingze refused without thinking.
"Well, be safe on the road."
Cai Xiaotang didn't say anything more, and didn't want to show that she was different from Li Xiao in front of others, so she walked down the steps.
After taking just two steps, he stopped again and turned back sharply.
"By the way, remember not to tell anyone what happened today."
Cai Xiaotang warned worriedly.
Liu Qingze was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was probably talking about marriage, and his expression changed slightly.
"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of gossiping behind other people's backs. Let's go."
He dropped a word and simply turned around and left in the opposite direction.
Li Xiao's eyebrows frowned.
Do not tell anyone?
What secret is there between the two of them?
He took a deep breath and felt that familiar sourness in his heart again.
Just now he saw a large number of people going out after a dinner party, but he didn't see Cai Xiaotang, so he decided to wait a little longer and go in to look for them.
But he didn't expect to see her and Liu Qingze coming out together.
"Hello."
Cai Xiaotang's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Li Xiao back from his thoughts.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
He responded subconsciously.
Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't speak.
Her eyes passed over the roof of the car, a question stuck on her lips, and she was a little confused whether to ask or not.
Li Xiao just said that he only waited for a short while?
But the snow on the roof of the car... must have been there for at least an hour, right?
Is he just waiting for me here?
Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, feeling awkward beyond words.
"It's okay, just get in the car and remember to ask someone to drive my car back."
After all, she didn't say anything, opened the door and got in the passenger seat.
never mind……
No matter how long he waited, Mr. Li must have asked him to pick him up. Otherwise, it was snowing and he was indifferent to her, which would arouse suspicion.
right!
That's it!
Cai Xiaotang quickly found a suitable reason in her heart and didn't think about it any more.
The snow on the road was a bit slippery, and it took some time before the car finally arrived at the old house.
Li Xiao kept a straight face the whole time, not knowing what he was thinking. Cai Xiaotang didn't speak at all, just lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.
After returning to the room, she washed up and, as before, used pillows to build a "fortress" between the two of them to prevent her from getting too close to someone in the middle of the night.
Cai Xiaotang was hiding in bed, counting on her fingers.
The two of them have been sleeping in the same bed like this for three or four days.
Except for waking up in someone's arms on the first day and holding him on the second day, the normal distance was maintained for the next two days.
"I've slept very soundly for two days. It shouldn't be anything bad tomorrow..."
Cai Xiaotang muttered quietly, but she didn't know that someone really didn't want to take a cold bath in the middle of the night every day, so he let her go.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xiao opened the door and walked in.
He seemed to have washed up in another bathroom. He was wearing dark home clothes and his hair looked slightly damp.
Different from usually combing his hair up, his hair was hanging down naturally at this moment, covering his forehead. He seemed to be a bit younger inexplicably, and he looked about the same age as Cai Xiaotang.
Cai Xiaotang glanced quickly, and even though it was not the first time she saw it, she quickly looked away.
Tsk…
Although she doesn't want to admit it, her liking for Li Xiao is indeed partly due to her appearance...
Although a certain old man is actually thirty-two years old, it seems that it would not be inappropriate to say that he is just over twenty-five...
Cai Xiaotang was thinking when she suddenly felt the bed on the other side collapse slightly.
Li Xiao leaned against the bed, his eyes drifting in the direction of Cai Xiaotang.
Cai Xiaotang noticed his gaze, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
She pretended to be calm and spoke.
Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment. Thinking of what he had just asked to investigate, the jealousy that had been boiling in his heart all night had reached its peak.
"Why are you and Liu Qingze together tonight?"
He asked pretending not to know anything.
"Because of work, he is the person in charge of our project docking."
Cai Xiaotang answered truthfully.
Hearing her obediently telling the truth, Li Xiao suddenly felt better.
not bad……
She didn't let herself mind her business...
"That's what you're asking?"
Cai Xiaotang added another sentence.
"Um."
Li Xiao nodded.
Cai Xiaotang glanced at him inquiringly, always feeling that something was strange.
Is it an illusion?
Li Xiao seems to be particularly concerned about Liu Qingze?
Is it because you are worried that you will get too close to him and accidentally reveal Li Xiao's identity?
Cai Xiaotang thought about it and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I am very strict with my words and will not expose your identity to others casually."
"Of course I believe you."
Seeing her seriousness, Li Xiao couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.
Cai Xiaotang felt numb all over and immediately slapped his hand away angrily.
here we go again!
Can't this guy stop teasing himself?
Intentional teasing is deliberate seduction, and unconscious teasing is causing people to commit crimes!
"Don't touch me! If you touch my hair again, I will bite you!"
Cai Xiaotang grinned and warned, deliberately looking "fierce".
Li Xiao hadn't seen her like this for a few days, and he felt even better. He curled his lips and asked, "How do you want to bite her?"
"I……"
Cai Xiaotang was choked by him, and when she met the other person's smiling eyes, she always felt that a good sentence suddenly became ambiguous.
"I'm too lazy to care about you! Go to sleep!"
She had nothing to say, so she simply pulled the quilt and turned around.
However, Li Xiao continued to tease her and said, "I noticed that you have been sleeping well these past two days. What's wrong? You don't want to take advantage of me?"
"Who wants to take advantage of an old man like you!"
Cai Xiaotang replied without thinking. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sudden silence behind her.
The smile on Li Xiao's face suddenly faded, and he suddenly felt as if he had been hit by an arrow.
Old man?
This is not the first time she has said this.
Does she really like younger people?
For example, that Liu Qingze...
His mood plummeted in an instant. Li Xiao took a deep look at Cai Xiaotang's back, turned off the light and lay down, but he didn't feel any sleepiness. For the first time, he felt a sense of crisis because of his age.
In her mind, is he really that "old"?
