"What do you want me to do?" Xia Youyou walked up to him and asked curiously, tilting her head. Her big watery eyes looked straight at Qi Siling.

"What are you doing here this time?" Qi Siling rarely shifted her gaze, not daring to meet her innocent eyes.

Xia Youyou lowered her head and stroked her pigtail, feeling a bit bored. "My brother experimented with vegetable greenhouses, and his superiors asked him to come to Beijing to give a detailed report. I wanted to come along and play, so I came here. I just got off the train."

Thinking about not meeting Xiao Meili when I went to pick her up just now, I felt a little regretful. "We just came back from the train station too."

The topic became a little cold at this point. Qi Siling was not good at talking, and seeing the little girl looking bored, he kept thinking about what to say.

It was Xia Youyou who spoke first. "What do you do here?" His woolen coat looked quite valuable. Why did he have to exchange yellow goods for grain? He even said he had no money.

"I'm just a temporary worker on Xiao Hai's transport team." His background wasn't good, so no matter how talented he was, he couldn't get a regular job. Xiao Hai guaranteed him and taught him how to drive, which allowed him to land this temporary job. The two of them traveled extensively, seeing so much, that they carved out a niche. A chance encounter led them to explore the trade of reselling goods, which helped them find a better life.

"Oh~ Then where have you been? Was it fun?" Xia Youyou didn't care about anything else, she only cared about whether it was fun and whether she could have fun. She wanted to go too!

Qi Siling was originally immersed in inferiority, but when he heard that she only cared about having fun, he could no longer hold back his laughter.

The young man's smile seemed to heal, making you laugh along. It wasn't the kind of smile that warmed people's hearts, but rather a mischievous yet deeply moving one. His large double-lidded eyes rivaled Xia Youyou's, and his lips curled up like a crescent moon, revealing perfectly white teeth. The contrast was stark compared to his expressionless face.

Xia Youyou was a little stunned. He looked so handsome when he smiled!

Qi Siling realized that he had lost his composure, so he put away the smile on his face. Seeing the stunned look on the little girl's face, he raised his hand helplessly and waved it in front of her eyes.

"It's not fun outside at all, it's very dangerous. Just follow your brother and don't think about running outside." She looked so innocent, I was afraid that she would be kidnapped by others.

Xia Youyou saw his white, slender, bony hands waving before her eyes. When she came to her senses, her attention was diverted by his hands again. Damn it, even his hands looked so pretty! Looking down at her own hands, they looked like chicken claws. They were whiter, but not pretty at all! Her thoughts drifted away, and she didn't hear what he said at all.

"Xia Youyou!"

"Huh?" Finally coming to her senses, Xia Youyou looked at him puzzledly, "What do you want me to do?"

Qi Siling held his forehead helplessly. Why was he so stupid? "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." She felt a little guilty. She couldn't say your hands are more beautiful than mine, could she? "What did you just say?"

"I told you it's not fun outside, just follow your brother."

"How can it not be fun! You lied to me!" Xia Youyou looked incredulous.

"I'm not kidding, it's very dangerous out there." Qi Siling had fought with people more than once. Those people often did things like highway robbery. If it weren't for his good fighting skills, he would have died at least a hundred times. "Be good, okay? Your brother can protect you. He can't do anything outside." Although Cao An was a public security officer, he was only in the local area and his influence was limited.

"I understand." He emphasized again with a bit of impatience. She had read books and knew that there were indeed great insecurities in this era. There was no rush to go out and play. She also wanted to travel around the world when her life settled down.

Qi Siling raised his hand to touch her little head, but when he thought of her resistance just now, his hand froze in mid-air and he clenched his fist and retracted it to the side of his leg.

"How many days will you stay here?"

"I don't know. My brother has to go to the Grain Bureau to make a report this afternoon. I'll stay in the guesthouse alone and wait for him to come back. I won't run around!" She emphasized that she wouldn't run around, obviously disliking his nagging just now.

Her words made Qi Siling laugh, and the little girl was actually angry with herself.

"Would you like to go out with me?"

Xia Youyou looked at him warily, "My brother won't agree." She didn't want to go with him either.

Qi Siling's lips curled slightly, unlike the cheerfulness just now, "I won't sell you out. Want to go out and play? I'll talk to your brother."

Suspicion washed over her face. She wanted to agree directly, but remembering Cao An's strict instructions forbidding her to act alone before arriving, she felt she couldn't possibly convince him. "Then..." She hesitated, looking at her brother, who was still boasting to Huang Run. "You go talk to him?"

Seeing Qi Siling move slightly and about to go over, she grabbed his clothes again and said, "Wait a minute, let's wait until he finishes eating. I'm afraid he'll be so angry that he won't be able to eat. He will be very irritable when he is very hungry!"

"Is he mean to you?" Qi Siling always looked at Cao An with an indulgent look on his face every time she looked at him. It turns out he could be quite violent in private?

"No, he is very nice to me and even braids my hair. He just gets irritable when he is hungry, but he is not mean to me." Seeing that he misunderstood, I quickly explained.

"Please sit down. We'll wait here for him to finish eating." He gestured for her to sit at a table not far away and raised his hand to ask the waiter to pour some tea.

Xiao Meili had been paying attention to Qi Siling. Seeing that the two had finished talking and sat down to drink tea, she could no longer hold back and wanted to get up and go over.

Xiao Hai held his sister back and said, "Don't bother Brother Qi. He never treats you well."

"Are you my brother?"

"I hope not. You can ask Mom if you were picked up." He and his sister had been at odds since they were little. She was like a spoiled daughter, always wanting to grab everything. Unfortunately, she had the fate of a maid and the illness of a young lady.

"You!" Xiao Meili was so angry that she sat aside and started crying.

"If you want to cry, don't cry here. I'm embarrassed!" Why are other people's sisters so well-behaved and cute? Why is my own sister so annoying? Since she was a child, she has loved to get close to Brother Qi and even like to smash his things to get his attention. Every time I went to deliver something to Grandpa Qi on his orders, she stopped me and smashed it. Over time, Grandpa also disliked her, and every time he asked me to deliver something, he would go secretly.

Xia Youyou watched the lawsuit between the brother and sister not far away, and approached Qi Siling with a gossipy look on her face, "Aren't they brother and sister?"

He glanced over there, turned around to look at the little head that came over, and resisted the urge to rub it, "The relationship is not good. What happened to you on the train?" It can't be a good thing!

She looked disgusted and said, "She called me a bumpkin on the train." Isn't it just that she hasn't seen the outside world? What's wrong with being excited?

A cold flash flashed across Qi Siling's dark eyes, and he put his hand on her head, as if soothing a livid cat. "Don't be angry, that's just her temper. We all don't like to pay attention to her."

Xia Youyou was caught off guard and glared at him fiercely. "Why are you touching my head again!"
