Once certain ideas arise, they can instantly open up directions that have never been considered before.
Li Xiao was startled suddenly, and his eyebrows suddenly knitted together.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what the reason was for his sacrifice, public or private, good or bad, someone should always talk about it, probably just as gossip after dinner.
But after so many years, he seemed to have never heard anyone talk about it or even mention it.
Lao Qi and the others only stayed with him for various reasons after he took over.
Over the years, some have betrayed, some have disappeared, and in the end, only a few of them are left.
As for the other people under their command, some are professional personnel uniformly assigned by "above", and some only joined after he took over.
No one seemed to have anything to do with the previous leader.
It was as if he disappeared out of thin air and never existed at all...
This in itself is already very abnormal.
Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, trying hard to catch the little clue in his mind, but suddenly he felt the person next to him move slightly.
"Um……"
Cai Xiaotang seemed to sense the emotions of the people around her, murmured something softly, hugged Li Xiao's arm tightly, and pressed her face against it.
Li Xiao's thoughts were interrupted for an instant, but he was not unhappy. Instead, he smiled and pinched Cai Xiaotang's cheek. He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her again. The scene on the Ferris wheel suddenly came to mind.
Cai Xiaotang once asked him if he was willing to exit the secret door.
Quitting...he really never thought about it.
He admitted that at first, he didn't take the secret door thing too seriously, just to use their help to find out what was going on behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, I gradually got used to it, and it lasted for so many years.
Probably a man will always have some heroic plot. Anyway, if he doesn't do these things, someone will do it...
However, he seems to have really wavered now.
Because of the person next to me.
He didn't want to see her involved in unknown dangers because of him at some point.
But how can it be so easy to quit?
The only thing that can be done now is to protect her...
Li Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at Cai Xiaotang, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, hugged her tighter, and closed his eyes.
No matter what, he won't let her get hurt again.
…
The next day——
When Cai Xiaotang woke up, she found that her surroundings were empty.
Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a little strange when she thought that someone usually wouldn't get up even if she woke up, but would stick to her like a candy.
It seems that he is finally "sticky" enough to her?
Cai Xiaotang thought about it, so she simply got up and tidied up, walked out of the bedroom calmly, and planned to go to the study upstairs to find someone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, he heard Luo Wanwan's voice coming from inside!
"Li Xiao, this is the coffee I just brewed. Can I leave it here for you?"
She was still gentle and gentle, and her voice was so gentle that it seemed she could squeeze water out of her mouth.
Cai Xiaotang paused and simply stood a few steps away from the study door, waiting to hear what Li Xiao would answer.
I thought Li Xiao could just say thank you coldly.
Unexpectedly, Cai Xiaotang heard-
"No, I slept well last night. I don't need coffee to wake me up. If necessary, I'd rather drink some made with sugar."
Li Xiao actually refused outright!
In the end, he did not forget to pull Cai Xiaotang out and show affection, while emphasizing her position in his heart, as if to remind Luo Wanwan.
There was no sound in the room instantly.
I also knew that Luo Wanwan's expression at this time must not be any better.
"puff……"
Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but laughed softly, and a non-existent tail seemed to be raised high behind her.
Then I heard Luo Wanwan's voice continuing to come from the room.
"Li Xiao... I know that you and Xiaotang have a good relationship. I don't mean anything else. I just know that you are used to drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. Xiaotang is a snoozer and must not be up yet, so..."
"It doesn't matter, I can wait for her to get up."
Li Xiao directly interrupted Luo Wanwan this time, and added: "You are a guest when you live here, not to mention that you are about to move out now. In fact, you don't have to do anything. Just leave it to others."
He was polite, but his tone was extremely distant, deliberately emphasizing the words "guest" and "moving out soon".
Luo Wanwan's fingers holding the tray tightened suddenly, and her chest was so tight that she was about to vomit blood after what Li Xiao said.
Did Li Xiao really want to distance himself from her?
He was obviously not like this when she first came back!
It must be Cai Xiaotang, that talkative woman who was chewing in his ear and said something!
Luo Wanwan stood there unwillingly, hesitating what else he wanted to say.
Outside the room——
Cai Xiaotang was too lazy to continue listening.
She curled her lips, deliberately took two steps forward, and made a lot of noise.
Then he opened the study door directly.
"Didn't I get up now?"
She didn't hide at all that she just heard the two talking.
As he spoke, he walked directly to Li Xiao, sat directly on the armrest of Li Xiao's chair, and then picked up the cup of coffee in front of him.
Li Xiao was startled and realized what she wanted to do. A smile flashed in his eyes, and his hands hurriedly wrapped around her waist to prevent her from falling down.
Immediately afterwards——
"This coffee smells great, can I have a taste?"
Cai Xiaotang looked at Luo Wanwan with a smile.
Luo Wanwan: "..."
This bitch did it on purpose!
"Of course, there's nothing to be polite about."
Even though he had broken his teeth, Luo Wanwan still smiled and replied.
Li Xiao didn't stop him, he just supported his chin with one hand and kept looking at Cai Xiaotang.
No.
It should be said that since Cai Xiaotang came in, his eyes have not looked anywhere else.
Cai Xiaotang calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
The ring on the ring finger also flashed slightly at this moment, with a flash of crystal light.
Luo Wanwan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Li Xiao's fingers almost subconsciously.
Then he saw the one that was similar to the one on Cai Xiaotang's finger. It was obvious that it was a couple's ring, and his heart suddenly tightened.
All the blood in his body seemed to rush into his brain in an instant. He wished he could rush forward and kill Cai Xiaotang with his own hands.
Why...
How come Cai Xiaotang can get everything she wants so easily!
So why did she spend so much effort to get back to Li Xiao?
A joke?
There was a "ding" sound.
The sound of Cai Xiaotang putting the cup back interrupted Luo Wanwan's thoughts.
The next second——
She smiled at Luo Wanwan, a cunning look suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Luo Wanwan has always liked to pretend to be gentle, considerate and considerate in front of Li Xiao.
Not as good as...
