Chapter 7 Chapter 7

After the last class in the afternoon, Chen Jin asked Xu Yiyi to go to dinner, "Brother Zikuo asked us all to go."

Chu Zikuo is Chu Zhiwei's most respected eldest brother. Just mentioning his name, he is "other people" synonymous with "family children".

Chu Zikuo is eight years older than Xu Yiyi and the others. The three of them have loved chasing after Chu Zikuo since they were little. Chu Zikuo has always treated Xu Yiyi and Chen Jin as his own sisters and dotes on them.

On a normal day, when she heard Chu Zikuo's invitation to dinner, Xu Yiyi would definitely take the lead without hesitation, but now she was a little hesitant, "I may have something to do today..."

Xu Yiyi was not good at lying, not only Chen Jinhe Chu Zikuo said this, and even Si Qingyu, who had only known her for only half a month not long ago, also "commented" like this.

At that time, they had not dated yet and were in the stage of "Xu Yiyi's passionate pursuit" -

that day, it rained heavily in Los Angeles. On the way Xu Yiyi took a taxi back to the hotel, he saw someone holding an umbrella from a convenience store near the hotel. Si Qingyu came out.

He was wearing a silver-gray suit, which was what Xu Yiyi was wearing when she first met him. She took a closer look and found that the suit was handmade and custom-made by an Italian designer and was expensive.

Si Qingyu was tall and tall, and his silver-gray look made his temperament even colder. His slender white hand held the handle of an ebony umbrella. The umbrella was black, and the black and white were extremely eye-catching in the dark clouds and rain. What he was carrying in his other hand was a computer bag and a supermarket convenience bag, which should contain his dinner today. He stopped a few steps away from the convenience store, adjusted the headphones in his ears, and continued talking to the person on the other end of the call.

The rainwater beats on the car window and winds down, like a transparent landscape painting naturally formed by nature, while the silver figure is not far away, like a fairy in the painting.

Xu Yiyi made a decision immediately!

After forcing the umbrella into her small bag, Xu Yiyi closed the car door, covered her eyes with her hands, and quickly ran towards the silver figure.

The figure had his back to her, which made it easier for Xu Yiyi to tell a little lie.

But as she got closer, she heard that Si Qingyu's tone was not right, and he seemed to be having an unpleasant conversation with the person on the other end of the phone.

Xu Yiyi did not interrupt and followed him silently.

It was getting dark, and the street lights came on one after another.

Xu Yiyi had fun playing with Si Qingyu's shadow under the streetlight in the heavy rain.

Suddenly, the shadow stopped moving.

Xu Yiyi, who was still humming, was caught off guard and bumped into the person in front of her.

Si Qingyu had already turned around.

She bumped into his hard chest.

She secretly screamed, but when she looked up again, Xu Yiyi smiled brightly, and then showed a pitiful expression.

Si Qingyu's beautiful brows and eyes still showed the unhappiness of the negotiation just now.

Seeing this, his voice was even colder than on a rainy night, but the words he spoke made even him stunned.

He said: "Don't know how to hold an umbrella?"

Xu Yiyi's eyes lit up and he immediately climbed up the pole, "Are you concerned about me?"

Si Qingyu said with a cold face and did not answer.

Xu Yiyi was not discouraged, "I just think you care about me! However, if Lawyer Si could care a little more, really just a little bit-" As she spoke, she compared her thumb with her index finger. She kept a little distance and continued with her eyes bent, "It would be better if I just showed a little more care!"

She was referring to the fact that she could "rent" a piece of land under Si Qingyu's umbrella.

"I forgot to bring my umbrella." When she lied miserably, she did not forget to hide the umbrella in her bag back.

Si Qingyu: "..."

He frowned a little: "The convenience store is nearby -"

Before he could finish his words, "Mao Mao" who was soaked by the rain in front of him interrupted him anxiously, " I forgot to buy an umbrella just because I saw you."

She was obviously the one with the problem, but she felt aggrieved first and blamed Si Qingyu.

Si Qingyu pursed his lips tightly and said no more.

He lowered his eyes and stared at her.

Xu Yiyi met his gaze, but within a few seconds of looking at each other, her eyes began to wander.

There was nothing she could do about it. Si Qingyu was staring at her like this, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if he would see through her at any time.

Xu Yiyi didn't notice that the big black umbrella had already been tilted to the top of her head at some point. The owner of the umbrella had actually shared a piece of territory with her by default.

She only heard Si Qingyu say for a while: "Let's go. Go back."

Xu Yiyi changed from a drowned cat to a happy cat playing in the water in an instant!

It was only five minutes' walk back to the hotel. As he walked, Xu Yiyi asked Si Qingyu if he had gone to see his client today and asked him how his client was and whether he was easy to talk to. He also asked him if this lawsuit would be easy to fight?

Si Qingyu rarely answered her words, only humming occasionally.

Xu Yiyi said: Then aren't you going back to China soon?

Si Qingyu said: It should be.

Xu Yiyi was unhappy: But she still wanted to play here for a while! After finally taking a trip during the summer vacation, she still had many places she had not checked in to.

She began to count the check-in points in detail.

Si Qingyu listened to her chattering in silence.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Although the thunderstorm was so loud, the people around him were even louder than the thunderstorm.

But strangely enough, he began to feel calm in his heart, and those messy affairs and stubborn clients were all temporarily forgotten by him.

Stepping into the hotel lobby, Si Qingyu closed his umbrella.

At this time, Xu Yiyi, who had been talking about how popular those check-in spots were and how delicious the food there was, sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't gone to these places with you yet, you are going back to China." .."

The action of closing the umbrella paused, and Si Qingyu looked at her. There was a faint layer of mist between his brows and eyes. When he looked sideways like this, it made people feel that he was casual and cool.

He said: "Why should I be with you?"

Xu Yiyi was absolutely right!

Brave cats just have to face difficulties!

She blinked, her dark deer eyes were shining, and they only contained him, "Because I want to go. If I catch you, you have to go with me."

Very domineering.

But...

Si Qingyu suddenly smiled.

He had never expressed many expressions and seemed to be born with a lack of emotion. Suddenly he smiled like this, like the ice and snow melting and everything coming to life. In an instant, the entire hotel lobby became dazzling.

Xu Yiyi felt that at this moment, she was like eating strawberry-flavored ice cream for the first time as a child. It was immediately sweet to her heart. Since then, strawberry ice cream has become her favorite.

In the beginning, Si Qingyu, to her, was actually just one of the better ice creams she had ever tasted. She couldn't guarantee whether there would be new ice creams that would attract her attention in the future.

But that day, the first smile Si Qingyu gave her in the hotel lobby was the strawberry-flavored ice cream she had eaten for the first time as a child.

He began to become unique...

Xu Yiyi thought: Although it is summer now, she feels that her spring may have really arrived.

Soon she heard Si Qingyu say -

"Hand out your hands."

Xu Yiyi was still bewitched by the beauty, so she stupidly held out both hands.

Si Qing Yufeng's eyes were beautifully curved. He took a box of cold medicine from the convenience bag and put it in her hand. He said, "Go back and take a hot bath and make a cup of cold medicine before going to bed."

Xu Yiyi nodded obediently.

When the two were separated in the elevator, Si Qingyu suddenly said something very inexplicable.

He said: "Xu Yiyi, do you know that you can't lie?"

Xu Yiyi: "?"

She subconsciously went to hide the umbrella.

Si Qingyu: "The bag is about to burst."

Xu Yiyi: "..."

She murmured, "I'm not chasing you."

Si Qingyu: "Huh?"

Xu Yiyi smiled: "It's nothing Yeah, I mean, I will definitely learn how to lie well next time!"

Si Qingyu: "..."

After more than two months, has Xu Yiyi learned to lie?

The answer is obvious.

Chen Jin narrowed his eyes, "Tell me the truth, which dog are you going to find on your back?"

Xu Yiyi said silently, "No, there is something wrong with the club, and the president asked us to have a meeting."

Chen Jin He held her face and asked her to stare at him, "Bao, you really can't lie. So, what are you going to do?"

Xu Yiyi hesitated, and finally was forced to "extort a confession by torture" from Chen Jin , I had no choice but to confess honestly.

She was actually afraid that Si Qingyu would come to her door again today.

Chen Jin raised a question mark, "Then don't you want to go to dinner with us?"

Xu Yiyi's answer was: "He is very vindictive. Instead of escaping, it is better to confront him head-on."

Chen Jin: "So, Your Excellency, you must head-on . Fighting or facing the chicken?" Xu Yiyi said in hindsight: "??" 

She covered Chen Jin's mouth! 

What the hell! 

If Chen Jin talks like this on a novel website, he will be locked up in a dark room! How on earth did she pass the trial at Nuwa's place when she was born? 

Finally, Xu Yiyi, Chen Jin and Chu Zhiwei went to find Chu Zikuo for dinner. 

Probably because Chen Jin had guessed what he was thinking, she didn't want to run and "take the initiative to attack", making it look like she really cared. 

But she ate absent-mindedly throughout the meal. She would wonder if Si Qingyu had been there today? What did his actions yesterday mean? Did he see through her temptations at a glance? 

My thoughts were racing during the meal, and when I finally got home, it was still dark outside. 

There is nothing downstairs. 

There is no news on WeChat either. 

The subtle expectation in my heart gradually calmed down at this moment. 

In the next few days, Xu Yiyi did not see Si Qingyu again. 

That night they tested each other, and the result after the test was: her heart was in a mess, but Si Qingyu acted as if nothing had happened. There was no WeChat number and he disappeared. 

In fact, Xu Yiyi could have used her Aunt Qin to insinuate what Si Qingyu was doing recently. 

But she just didn't. 

She seemed to be angry: Since you don't contact me, then I won't contact you either. Since you don't care about me, I don't need you. 

So, on the third day when Si Qingyu was nowhere to be seen, Xu Yiyi blocked him on WeChat out of anger. 

Then, when she woke up on the fourth day, she regretted that she should not have been impulsive... 

Thinking about it carefully, she was really mentally disturbed these past few days. They have broken up now, so what is she going crazy about! 

But on WeChat... 

I have already blocked you, so it would be so shameless to add me back again! She doesn't want it! Moreover, he must still not know that he has been blocked by her! 

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyi became unhappy, and the result was—a few punches from Skachu with the explosive hammer! 

But Xu Yiyi is a person whose emotions come and go quickly. 

She is easy to coax, and a little happy thing can make her forget all her worries. 

With Chu Zhiwei and Chen Jin around, Xu Yiyi temporarily left Si Qingyu aside. 

On Friday, Xu Yiyi and the others got on the plane heading to Nancheng. 

Two hours later, the plane landed safely in Nancheng. 

It's hot and humid in Nancheng, and when I get off the plane, the hot flashes hit my face. 

The Chu family's driver had already been waiting outside the airport. 

The sky outside the car window gradually darkened, and the sky, which was still humid and hot during the day, was now cloudy and began to drizzle. 

An hour later, the destination arrived. 

Compared with the European-style villa of the Xu family, the Chu family is much more luxurious. 

The Su-style forest garden is full of ancient charm and has pleasant scenery. 

The car stopped outside the house. There was an umbrella on the car. When Xu Yiyi and the three of them got off, they each had one in hand. 

It was raining outside. As soon as the three of them were in the car, they called Mr. Chu and asked him not to come out and wait. They would be there soon. 

At this moment, the driver and Butler Wu were picking up the luggage. 

The sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella, and the sounds of Xu Yiyi and Chen Jin chatting with Butler Wu, covered up the sound of taxis parked quietly not far from the house in the night. 

From time to time, someone gets out of the car. 

The guest got off the car and the taxi driver drove away. After driving for a while, the driver saw the umbrella that the guest had brought with him when he got in the car on the back seat... 

Here, Xu Yiyi was listening to Butler Wu talk about the garden these days. The grapes in the bag were ripe. Before she could ask Butler Wu how the strawberries she and Chen Jin had grown last year were doing, she saw Butler Wu suddenly smiled and nodded behind her and said, "Lawyer Si is here. It's raining so much." "You're so big, you don't even hold an umbrella." 

Xu Yiyi, who was still smiling, was stunned. 

Immediately afterwards, she heard a familiar cold and deep voice from behind - 

"I forgot to bring it." 

After confirming that she heard correctly, Xu Yiyi turned around suddenly. 

The person who had disappeared for almost a week was standing behind her at this moment. 

The crisp black suit was soaked by the rain, and a few strands of wet hair fell randomly on his eyebrows. He has a noble temperament. Even if he is soaked by the rain, he does not look embarrassed. Instead, he adds a bit of sexiness that is rarely seen in ordinary times. 

He took off his glasses and put them in the suit pocket on his chest. His light-colored phoenix eyes, which were not covered by the lenses, were staring straight at her. For a few seconds, they looked particularly affectionate. 

He just looked at her, and his voice seemed much softer than usual. He said, "I just saw you in the car." Then he said, "The umbrella fell on the car."

This sentence seems to be understood as: I just saw you in the car, so I forgot to bring an umbrella.

Just like she said at the beginning: I forgot to buy an umbrella just because I saw you.

He seemed to have never forgotten every detail between them...
