Chapter 8 Chapter 8

The rain was pouring.

Xu Yiyi's heartbeat suddenly became very fast, like raindrops falling on an umbrella: tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-

her heart: plop-plop-plop-plop-plop-

perfect with this rainy night Dance together.

She has always been a person who is very good at focusing on key points, otherwise it would not have been so easy for her to pluck Si Qingyu, the flower of the high mountain.

He talks too little, and most of what he says is to the point, the kind that listeners don't like to hear. Xu Yiyi relied on her keen sense of smell to accurately detect Si Qingyu's hidden attention and concern for her, and successfully made Si Qingyu her boyfriend in half a month.

Therefore, when Si Qingyu said "The umbrella fell on the car", she immediately thought of the incident when she pretended not to have an umbrella and used it to rub against his umbrella.

What's more, Si Qingyu has always been rigorous in doing things, and the word "careless" has nothing to do with him.

What his purpose is is self-evident.

It's the same rainy night, the same scene, but this time, the people under the umbrella and the people outside the umbrella have exchanged identities.

Under the drizzle, Si Qingyu tried his best to avoid the things in his hands getting soaked by the rain. He nodded slightly to Butler Wu and said hello, then lowered his eyes and stared at Xu Yiyi, patiently waiting for her reaction.

Butler Wu, who originally planned to give his umbrella to the guest, sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two in front of him and consciously did not interrupt, letting them handle it by themselves.

Chen Jin on the other side opened his mouth even more. It was obvious that he had a lot to say and wanted to ask his good sister for clarification. However, he was also very discerning and did not come forward to disturb her at this time. He also grabbed her by the way and wanted to say hello. Chu Zhiwei.

The air was so quiet for a while that the only sound was the sound of rain.

Xu Yiyi tightened her hand on the handle of the umbrella, and smiled under the calm eyes of the person in front of her, "Brother Qing Yu, why are you here?"

He was talking, but the umbrella in his hand did not move toward him at all. shift.

The little devil in Xu Yiyi's heart is so bad: Let's get wet, bitch man!

Her thoughts were written all over her face, and Si Qingyu naturally noticed her fake smile, which made her look angry.

Still angry...

As soon as the smile flashed in his eyes, Si Qingyu felt a little happy.

He said calmly: "Come to visit Mr. Chu."

Xu Yiyi didn't understand.

Butler Wu explained in due course, "Hengsheng and Si Zheng Law Firm just signed a contract yesterday, and Lawyer Si is now Hengsheng's attorney." Butler Wu did not forget to praise Lawyer Si not only for his appearance, but also for being young and promising.

Si Qingyu said politely: "You are too kind."

The two of them were going back and forth, and Xu Yiyi also understood.

Si Qingyu must have been busy signing a contract with Grandpa Chu's company these days, but no matter how busy he is on a business trip, he always has time to send a WeChat message, right? She didn't believe it, he didn't open WeChat 24 hours a day!

Forget it, she could just pretend that what happened that night didn't exist. She didn't think he paid much attention to it anyway.

Thinking about it, Xu Yiyi snorted.

Her voice was very small, but Si Qingyu caught it keenly.

His eyes fell back on her, and he saw the person in front of him with an angry face. His right foot was stepping on the umbrella and falling to the ground, forming a shallow pool of rain.

He was close to her, and the rainwater she stepped on would always splash onto his trousers with precision.

When he lowered his head to look, most of his trousers were already wet.

Si Qingyu laughed.

I knew she was angry, but I didn't expect her to be quite angry.

Facts have proved that Xu Yiyi not only has a bad temper, she also holds a grudge!

Faced with Si Qingyu's almost straightforward hint, she turned around and said to Chu Zhiwei behind her: "Weizi, hold an umbrella with Brother Qingyu." After

pushing the person out, she didn't forget to come over and show concern for the person being treated. The person she lost said, "Brother Qingyu, please be careful and don't catch a cold."

Si Qingyu didn't say anything else.

Chu Zhiwei, on the other hand, came happily holding an umbrella and calling Brother Yu.

Butler Wu also came up to help take the gifts that Si Qingyu brought to Mr. Chu, and asked everyone to come in quickly.

Xu Yiyi and Chen Jin took the lead in rushing ahead.

The two of them were muttering something in front, and from time to time they heard two crisp laughs.

Si Qingyu and Chu Zhiwei followed three steps behind them.

Chu Zhiwei talked a lot and was chatting with Si Qingyu. Si Qingyu occasionally responded, but most of his mind was on the person walking in front of him.

The raindrops fell on the shoulder, and that area was completely soaked. The night wind blew, and it was biting cold.

Knowing that she was angry, Si Qingyu still felt a little uncomfortable after being treated coldly.

This feeling was just like how she disappeared from his life without saying a word after notifying him of the breakup via WeChat.

That was the first time in his life that he felt that he was being teased by someone, and it was by a girl who was nearly ten years younger than him.

When she came, the sun was as warm as fire.

When he left, he was cold and emotionless.

He was fooled by her...

but he didn't expect to meet her again so soon, let alone in such an identity.

The moral shackles restrained him, and he knew that he should not continue. The path ahead was an abyss, and if he was not careful, he would be shattered into pieces.

So, he took some time to accept it all calmly, and was prepared to have another quirky sister in his life.

However, before all this happened, he was still able to easily break through his defenses.

He thought: Since it can't be done, there is no need to force it.

At this time, the two people walking in front secretly turned back. When he discovered them, they quickly turned around and pushed each other.

Si Qingyu's expression was indifferent, but his light-colored phoenix eyes had become a little darker -

one day, when she really became herself...

it shouldn't matter.

She was like a bird that could fly away at any moment.

What he should consider now is: if you don't lock up the bird more forcefully, if you're not careful, she will leave you behind and fly away without a trace.

——So, Xu Yiyi, are you still willing to return to my cage?

.The

rain gradually became lighter.

A large group of people went to see Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu just celebrated his 70th birthday last year, and he seemed to be in high spirits. The three grandchildren he loves most are here today, and the old man is radiant, as if he has suddenly become more than ten years younger.

Xu Yiyi can please her elders, not just the elders, but with her eloquent mouth, she can make anyone happy as long as she is willing.

Si Qingyu is one of the "victims".

After the old man finished reminiscing with his three grandsons, he took a closer look at the young man in front of him who had been silent since he greeted him politely.

The Xu family and the Chu family are family friends, and the old man also knows a little about the origins of the Xu and Qin families.

As for the fact that Qin Wan took his son to live in the Xu family, the old man only heard about it two days ago.

The old man trusted the character of the Qin family, but he was also afraid that Xu's father and Xu Yiyi would have some misunderstandings because of the mother and son, and that Xu Yiyi would be wronged at home. After all, the friendship between the previous generation would not allow the younger generations to get involved. Fortunately, Xu Yiyi has always been smart and considerate, so he will not be estranged from his father because of this matter.

The old man, Qin Wan's son, had never met him before. He only heard from Xu's father that the boy was trying his best and opened his own law firm.

The old man has long since delegated his authority and the group will deal with the affairs. Unless necessary, he will basically not interfere.

This cooperation between Hengsheng and Sizheng was finalized by his son. His son also mentioned the partner this time. The old man had an impression and knew that the child who came to discuss cooperation this time was the child who temporarily lived in the Xu family.

Yesterday, the old man heard his son praise the child very much.

When I saw him today, he seemed to be a decent man and knew etiquette. He was a good person.

The old man has been in the group for many years, and he has become much kinder. He is no longer scrutinizing the young people, but more tolerant.

The children are all so outstanding, and the old man is very pleased.

At this time, Butler Wu came to inform that dinner was ready.

The old man smiled kindly and said to Si Qingyu, "I don't know what your kid likes to eat, so I asked the chef to make some home-cooked food."

Si Qingyu said, "It was my sudden visit that disturbed you."

Chu Zhiwei Da Lielie, "Brother Yu, you will come more often from now on. If you come more often, Brother Wang will definitely remember what you eat, just like Yiyi and Chen Jin."

Brother Wang, Master Wang, is the chef of the Chu family.

Si Qingyu nodded politely.

With Xu Yiyi and three pistachios there, I had a very pleasant dinner.

After dinner, the old man asked someone to set up the mahjong table. It happened that all three children were here today, and they had someone to accompany him for entertainment.

Among the three, Xu Yiyi was the best at playing mahjong. She had a quick mind and good luck. After a few rounds, she won a lot of money.

Si Qingyu sat at the tea table a few steps away and drank tea from beginning to end.

When Xu Yiyi was playing mahjong, she would occasionally glance over at him.

She didn't know if he was looking at her all the time or what, but every time she glanced over, she would catch his eye.

She turned her head back in panic again, only to be confused and play the wrong card.

The old man laughed heartily: "Hey, what a fool!"

Xu Yiyi: "..."

She angrily turned around and glared at the culprit who caused her to lose!

The culprit was picking up the teacup and sipping the tea slowly.

Seeing her looking over again, Si Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her in confusion.

However, if you remove the tea cup from your lips, you can see the faint smile hiding on his lips.

Xu Yiyi: So angry!

But soon, Xu Yiyi's eyes rolled and she had an idea.

She expected that a person like Si Qingyu, who had nothing but work to do, would definitely not play mahjong for fun, maybe not at all! Even if he knew it, she was very confident in her poker skills, so he definitely couldn't beat her!

Since he caused her to lose at the poker table, it would be fine if she had a great time killing him at the poker table, right?

So, Xu Yiyi, who had made up her mind, immediately smiled and said sweetly: "Brother Qing Yu, let's come over and play together. Drinking tea alone is so boring." When

she gave a cue, even the old man began to notice that he was always there. Quiet young man.

The old man: "Xiao Si, come here to play a little bit?"

Si Qingyu, who noticed that someone had ulterior motives, said: "..."

After a pause, he put down the tea cup in his hand under her proud look, stood up and tidied it up. , rolled up the cuffs of his shirt twice, revealing the lines of his strong forearms, walked over, and said calmly: "I haven't played for a long time, maybe I'm a little rusty."

Xu Yiyi hummed in her heart: What I want is that you are rusty! I'll kill, kill, kill! Si

Qingyu came over, Chen Jin consciously sat down next to Xu Yiyi, and made room for Si Qingyu with a smile, "Brother Yu, come on, Yiyi is very powerful!"

After sitting down on the right side of Yiyi,

he looked over with a cold expression, "I'll try my best." Xu Yiyi raised his chin at him arrogantly, and before he even started, it was as if he had already won, but his words Modesty: "Oh, it's not as exaggerated as Jin Jin said, so it's okay! Let's start quickly!"

She couldn't wait to crush this bitch man!

Just as Si Qingyu said, he was indeed quite rusty after not playing for a long time.

After two rounds, Xu Yiyi was fooled.

Xu Yiyi didn't bully others, but only picked on him.

After finishing the trick, he still pretended that it was not intentional: "I'm sorry, Brother Qingyu, I just happened to get this in your hand."

Si Qingyu didn't react much and still looked indifferent.

But just when Xu Yiyi was playing cards and wanted to continue to kill him to vent her anger, Si Qingyu suddenly called her -

"Yiyi."

The cards in Xu Yiyi's hand fell back to the table, and she quickly stabilized them. Live your mind.

Thinking that Si Qingyu finally couldn't bear to expose her little trick, she looked at him pretending to be innocent: "What's wrong?"

Her eyes wandered as she felt guilty.

Si Qingyu stared at her for a few seconds and leaned slightly toward her.

Xu Yiyi saw him leaning over, her body's instinctive reaction was faster than her brain's, and she immediately leaned closer.

Si Qingyu silently tugged at the corners of his lips and stopped within a punch of her ear, his voice steady and low.

"Brother Rang Rang," he said.
