Xu Yanfeng glanced at the screen. Even without looking at the photos, he knew which two Xia Xi was talking about. He smiled and asked deliberately, "Which two?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Can't you see?" Xia Xi stretched out his arm and pushed the phone forward. "Is it because I'm old that my eyesight is not good anymore?"

"I really can't see it." Xu Yanfeng said.

“How could it be…”

Xia Xi said this as she put her phone away, turning the screen towards her face. She then realized that the screen had been turned off at some point, and everything was black. Her expression froze, and a trace of embarrassment crept across her face.

She turned on her phone again and showed the photo to Xu Yanfeng.

"You mean these two photos?" Xu Yanfeng said honestly, dragging his voice. "I found a passing tourist to help me take these photos while you weren't paying attention. Otherwise, I was afraid you wouldn't cooperate."

Xia Xi said to himself, it was indeed a secret photo.

Xu Yanfeng asked sincerely: "Any other questions?"

"there is none left."

Xia Xi lowered her head and continued to sort the photos, saving them one by one in the album and sending a copy to her sister Xia Yue, except for those two photos.

In a blink of an eye, February is almost over.

Xu Yanfeng pursued Xia Xi for half a month, and there was some effect, but it was not significant.

Twenty days have been crossed out on the countdown calendar, leaving only eighty days left until the agreed deadline.

After eighty days, Xia Xi would move out of his house. Although he had already made up his mind that even if it took more than a hundred days, he would not follow the previous agreement and draw a clear line with Xia Xi, but chasing her would definitely not be as convenient as when they were living together.

Monday was a busy day as usual, with meetings of all sizes going on for most of the day. Xu Yanfeng finally managed to take a break in the office to deal with the piled up documents. Guan He came to inform him that Mr. Tang from Lingtian Capital was visiting.

Xu Yanfeng was stunned. What was Tang Yizhou doing here?

Not long after Guan He left, Tang Yizhou came in at a leisurely pace, like an old man walking his bird at the village entrance. He stretched his neck and glanced at the desk: "Still busy."

Xu Yanfeng didn't look up, holding the pen and signing the document quickly: "If you have something to say, please say it. If not, please go away."

"You don't know how to appreciate kindness." Tang Yizhou paced around his office with his hands behind his back. "It's been over half a month, and I haven't heard of any new progress in your pursuit of your ex-girlfriend. So, I happened to be doing some errands nearby, so I came up to see you."

Xu Yanfeng didn't want to talk.

"What's going on? Are you two still at loggerheads?" Tang Yizhou looked at him amusedly. He didn't even need to answer. Just by looking at his state, he knew that he hadn't won the girl yet. "I told you that you should listen to me. Your methods are all gentle and slow, and the progress is too slow. To deal with a woman like Xia Xi, you have to use drastic measures."

Xu Yanfeng stopped flipping through the documents and finally gave Tang Yizhou a compassionate look: "Just understand one thing, I'm not going to deal with her, I'm going to pursue her."

"Okay, go after her. I said the wrong thing." Tang Yizhou raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and continued, "Think about the methods Xia Xi used to pursue you. Wasn't it full of tricks and extremes, short of going all out?"

Xu Yanfeng recalled the past and seemed to be persuaded, his expression becoming more serious.

Tang Yizhou continued, "You're busy, and she's busy too. You two live under the same roof, but you still don't interact as much as she does with the neighborhood security guard."

“…”

The description is a bit exaggerated, but it is not completely unreasonable.

On weekdays, he and Xia Xi left home early and returned late every day, spending very little time together. On weekends, Xia Xi would take the children back to Su Jinru's place, and they would have zero contact.

Xu Yanfeng threw down the pen he was signing with, leaned back, and looked directly at the person in front of him: "So, what do you think?"

Tang Yizhou: "You didn't listen to anything I said to you before. Didn't I tell you everything?"

Xu Yanfeng thought about what advice Tang Yizhou had given him.

In a moment, he remembered - the self-torture trick.

Tang Yizhou saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time. As if he had forgotten, he shook his head and sighed, hating his lack of progress: "You should go to the hospital now, put on your hospital gown, lie down on the bed, and leave the rest to me."

Xu Yanfeng disagreed: "Isn't this cheating? It can't be done."

"Cheating in love is not cheating." Teacher Tang tapped the table with his knuckles while teaching him.

"What's that called?"

"It's called seduction."

“…”

Xu Yanfeng didn't understand, but was shocked.

Tang Yizhou clapped his hands together and said anxiously, "Why don't you understand? You're lying in bed, unable to take care of yourself. If Xia Xi still has you in her heart, how could she be indifferent? By then, she will definitely put everything aside to take care of you, feed you, wipe your body, and her feelings will be warmed, right? I've explained it so clearly, you still don't understand, right?"

"I understand, but—" Xu Yanfeng pursed his lips and humbly asked the teacher, "How seriously ill do I have to be to be unable to feed myself or bathe myself? Am I a quadriplegic?"

He thought it was so outrageous that he almost wanted to laugh.

Xia Xi was not in the company in the afternoon. He went to Jingyu Garden to confirm the construction drawings with the supervisor for the final time. The person in charge of Xu's company was also present.

Just as she was about to finish, Xia Xi's cell phone rang. It was Xu Yanfeng calling her.

Xu Yanfeng rarely disturbed her during work hours, so she didn't know what he was up to. Xia Xi apologized to the other two people and went to the side to answer the call: "Xu Yanfeng?"

"Hello, is this Xia Xi? It's me..."

Xia Xi recognized Tang Yizhuo's voice. She had a very bad impression of this man. Her face immediately turned cold. She didn't bother to say a word to him and hung up the phone.
