Chapter 12 How did he get here?

Before the door even opened, she could already hear her silly husband shouting happily inside, as excited as could be.

Yu Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Please don't let me pee on someone else's floor in the middle of the night!" It was one thing if it were her own house, but what if it was a difficult neighbor...? She really didn't want to be crawling on someone else's floor in the middle of the night wiping up their poop and pee.

And even if you wipe it clean, to be honest, the smell won't easily disappear.

Not everyone can accept it. It's fine if people like dogs, but what if they encounter someone who's a clean freak and has a bad temper...?

Yu Yue simply couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

Fortunately, the people inside didn't make her wait long.

The door was opened from the inside the next moment.

The person who opened the door was very tall; for a moment, Yu Yue could only see a broad chest and a casually open black shirt.

That was a young man; that was her first reaction.

Her skin was so white, and her legs were so long—that was my second reaction.

Yu Yue even subconsciously swallowed, looking up at the person who had come, about to prepare her words. Then... she froze.

"You..." Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she took a large step back in fright. "What are you doing here?!"

The entire hallway was filled with her screams. Luckily, there were only two households on this floor, otherwise they would most likely have been complained about for disturbing the peace.

"Why can't I be here?" Xin Qi raised an eyebrow, looking down at her.

"I mean... how did you end up living here?!" Yu Yue was caught off guard and was still stunned by this sudden surprise.

Good heavens, someone tell her why that nasty Xin Xiaoqi lives here!

It's like a persistent ghost!

Ever since I edited photos of the other person last month, my surroundings have been filled with various elements related to them.

Either her best friend has broken up with her boyfriend and started idolizing celebrities, or she posts his handsome pictures in the group chat. Even when she's online, the data system remembers her and keeps recommending him to her. Not only that, but she's even forced to look at Xin Xiaoqi's face while eating potato chips.

In the end, Yu Yue simply unpacked all the potato chips Lin Shiya had bought, put them in a food bag, and ate them.

Then I tore the packaging bag to shreds and threw it in the trash can, and that felt good.

But these are all minor issues; now this is a major blow to her!

"Why can't I live here?" Xin Qi lowered his eyes, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, his face cold and disdainful.

It was that same arrogant tone again, that annoying rhetorical question. Yu Yue felt an itch to bite him as soon as she heard him speak.

"Sorry to bother you." Yu Yue closed the door and ran away. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her fists would harden and she would want to punch that person in the face.

Unfortunately, things are not like they were in junior high school anymore. The difference in physical strength and height between boys and girls is huge. If they were to fight, she would only lose. It's not like before, when at least the odds were even 40/60.

She has four, and the other party has six.

That's right, that's why she hates the other person—because she loses more fights than she wins! Even though the other person provokes her first, she always ends up getting the short end of the stick, and she even gets her parents called in by the teacher because... she always bullies male classmates and gets into fights.

Seriously...it infuriates her.

Everyone says they have a good temper, so why do they break down when they meet that guy?

Yu Yue was so angry her head was spinning. When she got home, she realized that Yu Meili was still there! How did she end up back like this?!

So she could only dejectedly return to Xinqi's door and knock.

The door opened quickly this time; clearly, the other person had been waiting at the door for her to return.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a face looking at her with a leisurely and mocking expression.

"Ahem..." Yu Yue cleared her throat tactically, "Well..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Comrade Yu Meili seemed to hear her voice and called out even more enthusiastically, completely drowning out her mosquito-like voice.

Yu Yue almost cried. Her silly dog ​​was still grinning like an idiot. Did she know how hard it was for it?!

Xin Qi seemed to have received a signal from the beagle puppy, and turned to the side, suddenly realizing, "Is this silly dog ​​yours?"

Yu Yue really wanted to retort, "You're the stupid dog," but for Xiao Bi's sake, she held back.

"Little one is much smarter than it!"

I don't believe it.

Yu Yue: ? ?

Does he really need to keep arguing with her?!

"Unless you prove it to me." Xin Qi said, then turned and went into the room. He went to the sliding door of the French windows that connected to the yard and pointed to the dogs running around outside.

How can you prove it?

“Call its name and give it some simple commands.” Xin Qi crossed her arms, leaning against the wall, her long legs naturally crossed, exuding an indescribable sexy (and slightly shameless) charm. “Otherwise, how would I know this is your dog?”

Yu Yue: ……!

Although she has been training Little Bi with online videos for a week, she hasn't even mastered the toilet training yet, let alone trained him to use the toilet at the designated spot!

Aside from sitting down and standing up, she did teach her a few simple things, but unfortunately, I don't know if Xiao Bi was too young to learn or if she deliberately didn't want to learn. In any case, she succeeded three out of ten times, which is considered quite successful.

As for calling Xiao Bi's name, it will indeed react, but...

She couldn't bring herself to say the name Yu Meili!

Yu Yue was a little frustrated. It was all Lin Shiya's fault for giving her such a shameful name.

“I’m not in a hurry, you can take your time to prepare.” Just then, Xin Qi spoke up leisurely, adding fuel to the fire.

Left with no other choice, Yu Yue could only grit her teeth, squat down, and whisper to her little one, "Yu... beautiful."

The first word was emphasized, but the next two were uttered so quickly that no one except Yu Yue could hear them clearly.

"Speak louder, who can hear you at such a low volume?" someone urged again. "Hurry up, I want to sleep."

"What time is it?! You're already going to sleep?"

"Mind your own business," Xin Qi casually made up an excuse. "I'm jet-lagged."

Pshaw, so what if a big star flies around everywhere?

Yu Yue pouted, suppressing her embarrassment, and shouted loudly, "Comrade Yu Meili, come here."

"Hiss."

Instead of a response from Xiao Bi, she received a soft snort.

"What are you laughing at?" Yu Yue said to him, hands on her hips, having given up all hope.

"It's nothing, just a casual laugh." Xin Qi smiled slightly. "Yu Meili."

Yu Yue's teeth were itchy again. Fortunately, after she called out "Yu Meili" again, Comrade Meili finally gave up playing with her good friend, the Border Collie, and came over to rub against her feet in a coaxing manner.

Of course, it was actually more interested in Yu Yue's slippers.

"Okay, this proves that it's my dog, right?" Yu Yue squatted down and picked up Xiao Bi.

Perhaps feeling a little guilty, Comrade Yu Meili was unusually well-behaved today, lying quietly in Yu Yue's arms without making a sound.

Xin Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't seem to mind. She squeezed out an "um" in response.

Yu Yue rolled her eyes at him and was about to leave when she saw a large bag of dog treats in his room—the same kind she hadn't been willing to buy at first.

"Why do you still have dog food in your house?" She was slightly puzzled. She glanced around his house but didn't see anything else that belonged to a dog. Whether someone has a dog or not is actually obvious just by looking at it and smelling it.

Xin Qi straightened up, somewhat awkwardly, and said, "I was just about to adopt this stray dog."

He can't be found out that he's using food to lure a Border Collie into doing something for him.

Seeing the skeptical look in Yu Yue's eyes, Xin Qi immediately went over and squatted down, putting his arms around the Border Collie's back as if he were her buddy.

"Right? Happy?"

The Border Collie glanced at him, then at her, tilting its head as if contemplating its canine existence.

"Yes, its name is Xin Kaixin."

The Border Collie tilted its head and bared its teeth, its dark eyes seeming to be questioning.

"I just got it, do you like it? Are you happy?" Xin Qi asked, glancing in a certain direction out of the corner of her eye.

There was a big bag of fragrant sausages.

Xin Kaixin swallowed hard and responded to the name affectionately.

"You're really smart." Xin Qi patted Kaixin's head as a reward and stood up. "Not like a stupid dog."

Yu Yue snorted and turned to walk towards the door.

If she stayed any longer, her blood pressure would really spike.

However, just as she hurried to the entrance and was about to open the door, a hand blocked the door in advance.

Xin Qi had appeared behind her without her noticing, blocking her path from behind.

"What are you doing?" Yu Yue hugged the little guy tightly and turned to look at him warily.

The two were only an arm's length apart, and the 30-centimeter height difference made her feel a sense of oppression coming from the front.

She instinctively wanted to back away, but found a door behind her, leaving her nowhere to escape.

She didn't know what the other person wanted to do, and couldn't help but swallow nervously, looking up at them.

The other person's face was no longer relaxed and casual; instead, they stared at her expressionlessly.

"You're just going to leave like this?" A low voice came from above, flat and emotionless, yet also full of emotion. "Isn't there anything you want to say to me?"

Yu Yue was slightly taken aback, unsure of his meaning, and could only guiltily guess, "You mean the picture I photoshopped for you that day?"

Xin Qi lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting shadows beneath them, concealing all her emotions.

After a long pause, he raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

So Yu Yue assumed she had guessed correctly and immediately explained, "My colleague accidentally put that picture in. I took sick leave that day, and she submitted the picture for me. I didn't expect... it would be sent to the client and published without passing the review. I'm really sorry, this wasn't what I intended."

Yu Yue was courageous and responsible, even though apologizing to the other party made her feel embarrassed and ashamed.

"Was it really an accident?" Xin Qi released her hand from the door and took a half step back, as if accepting her explanation.

"How would I know?" Yu Yue was still a little resentful when she thought about it. She muttered to herself, "I clearly saved it as a new file on my desktop and even changed the name, just in case it got mixed up."

"Oh, what name did you change to?" Someone seemed to have grasped the key point precisely.

Yu Yue felt awkward and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She just stared at the open chest of his shirt, looking at the white pectoral muscles, and explained in a low but calm voice, "I originally wanted to call you 'Idiot,' but I felt it wasn't very good, a bit impolite, so I changed it."

Xin Qi raised her eyelids slightly: "Oh, you're actually embarrassed... what did you change?"

Yu Yue was silent for a moment before speaking: "You big idiot."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Yu Yue felt the air was thinner up above. The pressure from the other side seemed even stronger…

When Xin Qi doesn't speak, she exudes aggression.

Finally, the other party sneered and was about to say something when a stream of fresh liquid suddenly gushed out without warning.

The impact point was precisely on someone's waist and abdomen...

The black shirt, which looked very expensive, was instantly stained with a suspicious patch of water.

Xin Qi: "..."

The silence was deafening.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere just now that made Comrade Yu Meili feel uneasy, and she couldn't hold it in and urinated.

Yu Yue: ……

Oh no, we're doomed! Just what I feared most has happened!!
