After the boxes of things were carried into the yard, Ji Huaizhi asked Li Yang, "Why don't you open them and see what's been given to you?"

Li Yang only felt that the air pressure around him was very low, so how could he have the leisure to open it and take a look?

Besides, one should not accept gifts without doing anything. She accepted the things Gao Xinchen gave her today, but she will have to return them in other ways in the future.

She didn't know how to explain Gao Xinchen's gift-giving behavior to Ji Huaizhi. Saying that she was completely unaware of it, or emphasizing the innocence between her and Gao Xinchen, both seemed to make things worse.

Li Yang could only smile and say, "No, there's nothing to see."

Ji Huaizhi didn't force it. He looked around and said, "The house is too small. There's no place to put these things."

Li Yang could only agree: "It's not small at all, I think it's just right."

Ji Huaizhi glanced at the little girl standing in the yard. After changing into new clothes, she looked pretty, and her originally slightly sunken cheeks became plump and had a faint blush. He thought that such a little girl was like a flower bud about to bloom, and anyone who saw her would be happy.

His eyes darkened and he came in front of her.

Li Yang was startled: "What's wrong?"

Ji Huaizhi only heard: "What kind of person is Gao Xinchen?"

This was the first time that Ji Huaizhi asked Gao Xinchen directly.

Li Yang didn't know what Ji Huaizhi meant by this, but after some thought, he decided to tell the truth: "He's just that kind of... rich boy, a bit temperamental, not arrogant, but overall he's pretty good."

This is all she knows about Gao Xinchen.

As for whether Gao Xinchen's inner self is really as she saw, it is really hard to say. After all, a child who grew up in such a family cannot be without any disguise.

Ji Huaizhi's eyelashes trembled: "Is he good to you?"

Li Yang began to feel that this sentence was not right: "It's... it's okay."

She had seen Gao Xinchen scolding his subordinates who had made mistakes, and she had also seen him kicking down his drinking buddies who had angered him, but since they had known each other, he had always been polite to her, so she thought he was still a good person.

Hearing this, Ji Huaizhi's eyes became darker, as if covered by a layer of mist, and his emotions could not be seen clearly.

He took a breath and said, "Li Yang, wait for me, okay?"

"Huh?" Li Yang was confused by the sudden words. "Waiting for you?"

Do you wait for him to come back for dinner? Or do you wait for him to come back from working outside?

Ji Huaizhi sighed and rubbed the top of her head: "It's nothing, it's fine like this."

He turned around, bent down and picked up the things on the ground: "Where do you want to put it? I'll help you."

Li Yang was still unsure if Ji Huaizhi would just let it go: "Do you really want to move back home?"

Ji Huaizhi glanced at her and said, "Haven't you already received them?" He took the things and walked into the inner room. "After the New Year, make an appointment with this Mr. Gao and we can meet together."

Li Yang, who had just relaxed, said: "..."

Sure enough, Ji Huaizhi still hasn't forgotten about this.

As the lights come on, the alleys of the hunting village are filled with the aroma of food and the smell of fireworks after firecrackers are set off.

While Li Yang was cooking, Ji Huaizhi was helping her. They took advantage of the break to do a thorough cleaning of the house, put up couplets and door gods, and hung up the red lanterns that Li Yang and Sister Qian had bought today. From a distance, the simple courtyard was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Li Yang brought the food to the main hall and said to Ji Huaizhi, "It's time to eat. Go and call Miss Bai to come and eat."

In the past few days, Bai Li basically came over before dinner time, or sat at the door reading, or watched her busy in the yard. Today, she still hadn't come over at dinner time. Li Yang knew that she must be sulking because of what happened during the day.

Ji Huaizhi nodded: "I'll go call her."

Ji Huaizhi came to Sister Qian's house and they were preparing to eat.

Yao Yunxiang took her brother to greet Ji Huaizhi. Ji Huaizhi took out two prepared red envelopes and gave them to the siblings.

When Sister Qian saw this, she pretended to be angry and said, "You kid, just come over here, why are you giving them red envelopes?"

Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "Let's make the children happy during the New Year."

Yao Yunxiang accepted the red envelope, thanked him, and lowered her voice to ask, "Are you here to call Miss Bai?" She nodded in the direction of Bai Li's room and said, "She's been staying inside since she came back today. She's angry."

Sister Qian patted her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Hurry up and take your brother to the kitchen to help your dad."

Seeing Yao Yunxiang and her son walk away, Sister Qian said, "I think she's hiding in the house crying because she felt wronged by what happened during the day."

During this time, she called Bai Li several times and heard sobbing. Bai Li also spoke with a nasal tone. Later, Bai Li simply ignored her.

She only cared about Bai Li living here, and as an outsider, she didn't say much about other things.

Ji Huaizhi nodded: "I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Sister Qian said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a matter of providing a room." She pointed to Bai Li's room and said, "I think something is amiss today. Say something nice to both sides. It's New Year's Day, don't argue."

Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Well, I saved it."

He came to Bai Li's door and knocked: "Bai Li, are you in there?"

When Ji Huaizhi came to Sister Qian's house, she knew it was Yao Yunxiang and her brother just by the voices of them, but she didn't go out immediately. She just waited for Ji Huaizhi to come and coax her.

Therefore, after Ji Huaizhi knocked on the door for a while, she slowly responded, "What's the matter?"
