Chapter 183 Solitude

"Achoo!" As soon as Hai Mingyue opened the car door, a cool night breeze blew in, and goosebumps immediately rose on one of her feet as she got out of the car. She couldn't help but sneeze.

"Sigh... I still caught a cold..." Li Jia shook her head gently and pulled Hai Mingyue into the car. "I'll take you in!" After saying that, she started the car and drove into the Bayi Apartment.

They soon arrived at Hai Mingyue's place. Li Jia draped her coat over Hai Mingyue and helped her upstairs. As soon as they entered the house, Hai Mingyue started sneezing one after another, which made Li Jia a little flustered. With Hai Mingyue's guidance, she found some cold medicine and poured a cup of hot water, which she then brought to Hai Mingyue.

"Take your medicine and get some rest afterward," Li Jia said calmly, sitting on the sofa and watching Hai Mingyue finish her medicine.

"Could you sit with me for a while? My favorite TV show has started, and it's so boring watching it alone." Hai Mingyue said, standing up from the sofa, walking into her bedroom, bringing out a beige quilt, then placing herself on the sofa, wrapping herself in the quilt, and reaching for the remote to turn on the TV.

"Li Jia...can I borrow your thigh? I'm out of pillows!" Hai Mingyue looked up at Li Jia, who was sitting not far from her, and said casually, fueled by alcohol.

Li Jia looked at Hai Mingyue's flushed face and her watery eyes staring at her, and immediately nodded. Then she sat down in front of Hai Mingyue, who rested her head on Li Jia's lap and comfortably watched TV on the sofa.

At some point, Li Jia could no longer hear Hai Mingyue's occasional chuckles. Looking down, she saw that Hai Mingyue was fast asleep, but her hands were wrapped around her legs, and she kept adjusting her head to find a more comfortable position.

Li Jia didn't leave; she just sat quietly on the sofa until dawn...

When Hai Mingyue woke up in the morning, she found herself not resting her head on Li Jia's lap, but on a thick, soft pillow. On the coffee table in front of her, there was a familiar glass of milk and a card that made Hai Mingyue smile with satisfaction. "Here we go again!"

Hai Mingyue got up from the sofa, picked up the still-warm milk and took a sip. Then she picked up the card on the coffee table and glanced at it. The handwriting on the card was almost identical to the last time: "A glass of milk in the morning will make your skin very good."

Hai Mingyue smiled, picked up the card, and went into her bedroom. On the bedside table was a note that read, "Drink some milk in the morning; it's good for your skin. Cheer up; nothing is truly unforgettable."

Hai Mingyue stuck the two sticky notes side by side together and walked out of the bedroom satisfied…

Li Jia had already brought Li Xiaoqing and the others to the dry cleaners. Li Xiaoqing's place was too small, and it was inconvenient for so many people to do anything, so Li Jia simply brought them all to the dry cleaners.

At this moment, several little girls were playing cards on the sofa, while Xiaolong sat in the first-floor lounge reading the newspaper. Meng Yao, as usual, was taking on the role of cook, having breakfast at home for the first time. Good times always pass quickly. A few days later, when Li Jia had just returned from attending Canglang's wedding banquet, Xiaoyue approached him with a somewhat complicated expression. "Big brother, there's something I want to tell you."

Seeing Ai Xiaoyue's expression, Li Jia keenly sensed that something might have happened, so she immediately nodded and said, "Come on, let's go to the study to talk." After saying that, she led Ai Xiaoyue into the study and closed the door behind her.

"What happened? Tell Big Brother." Li Jia asked Ai Xiaoyue as soon as she sat down. After Ai Xiaoyue told Li Jia everything, Li Jia fell into deep thought. After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Alright then, in that case, let's do as he wishes!"
