After Xia Shizhao called the others and sent them Qiu Li's address, he got into Qiu Li's car and went to her house.

It is a traditional courtyard house with a lot of bamboo planted around it. It is located far from the center, so there is basically no one around to disturb you, and there are no neighborly relations or conflicts.

Walking through the corridor, there is also an artificial hill and a fountain.

Xia Shizhao saw many precious flowers, and paused slightly when he saw one of them:

"Wow...so many flowers, and a pot of Juliet roses of excellent quality."

"I bought these while wandering around here recently," Qiu Li said softly, looking at the pots of flower buds swaying in the wind. "Someone very important to me likes them, so I like to linger around these plants and have learned quite a bit about them."

"Wow, that person would be so happy if they saw this."

Xia Shizhao imagined how happy he would jump for joy if he saw these flowers.

After a moment of silence, Qiu Li nodded, "Yeah, I guess so."

He handed Xia Shizhao another card, saying, "This is a universal card. You can wander around my house as you please. Now I'm going to cook."

"Hey, let me help you. It's not good to let you cook all by yourself."

Xia Shizhao scratched his head.

“No need,” Qiu Li said, walking behind the rockery, crouching down slightly, and picking up a small white cat with black markings. “Its name is Qi Qi. It’s still small, so you can hold it and play with it.”

Xia Shizhao took the adorable little white tiger Qiqi, who was only half an arm's length long. The little white tiger was still a cub, with exceptionally soft, snow-white fur, and pink nose, ears, and paw pads.

Its amber eyes looked at her with great curiosity, and it wasn't afraid of people. It gently scratched the back of Xia Shizhao's hand with its barbed tongue.

Seeing the little guy staring blankly, Xia Shizhao snapped out of it and gently scratched Qiqi's chin. Qiqi then half-closed its eyes and purred contentedly.

Even a big cat is still a cat.

Xia Shizhao was overjoyed and began to grope and fondle Qi Qi.

Disoriented from being rubbed, Qiqi jumped out of Xia Shizhao's arms and landed gracefully. Its tail was slightly raised, with the tip curled into a small arc. It walked forward with a cat-like gait for a while, then turned its head and found Xia Shizhao standing still. It ran to her legs and nibbled on her shoes, indicating that Xia Shizhao should follow it.

Looking at the little white tiger, Qingli stood behind her and snorted coldly in displeasure. However, she knew that her sister had no self-control when it came to fluffy things, otherwise she might not have been rescued by Xia Shizhao back then.

Xia Shizhao followed the little white tiger with a puzzled look. When they arrived at the door of a room, the door opened automatically. There was not much furniture inside, but there were many exquisite gems and teething toys.

Qiqi walked up to its precious stone, raised its little head high, stared intently at Xia Shizhao, and stretched out a paw to push its gem mountain in Xia Shizhao's direction.

A gem worth millions rolled down and landed at Xia Shizhao's feet.

Qiqi buried her head in the pile of gems, picked up an exceptionally bright and clear gem from the ground, and placed it at Xia Shizhao's feet.

It stomped its paws on the floor, swung its tail, and looked up at her with expectant eyes.

"Ah..." Xia Shizhao was dumbfounded.

"...Huh?" Qingli was also stunned, and instantly realized what the little white tiger was doing.

Qiu Li, that green tea bitch, steals her own sister, fine, but you little cat, you actually dare to steal my sister too!

Xia Shizhao squatted down blankly and stroked the little white tiger's soft head. He picked up the ruby ​​with one hand and hugged the suddenly shy little white tiger to his chest with the other. "Your toy? Do you want it?"

The little white tiger seemed not to understand what a toy was; it only heard the words given to it and nodded vigorously.

"no!!!!"

Qingli was furious. "Sister, you can't accept this!"

"W-What's wrong?"

Xia Shizhao looked at Qingli, who was startled, and asked in confusion.

"It's...this...that..."

Qingli stammered for a long time without saying a word, then stamped her foot in frustration, "Anyway, anyway, you can't accept it."

Looking at Qiqi, who was in his arms and had tears in her eyes from being startled by Qingli's sudden loud noise, Xia Shizhao could only tap her little nose. "I didn't plan to accept it either. Such a valuable thing will be given to Qiuli later. I feel like Qiqi will cry if I don't accept it."

Suddenly, Qiu Li appeared behind the door, leaning against the door with her arms crossed. "Qi Qi gave this to you, so just keep it."

"This thing is too expensive, or..."

"It's alright, there are still many more Qiqi."

Qiu Li pointed to the pile of gems over there.

Xia Shizhao's lips twitched slightly; indeed, there were many.

"no!"

Qingli firmly objected, but Qiuli glanced at her slightly and said, "You go and pick one too, Qiqi will give it to you."

That's not what I meant!

Qiu Li pointed her index finger at her profile in confusion, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "What does that mean?"

Qingli blushed slightly but still didn't say anything. When she saw Qiuli's deliberate smile, she understood.

This person did it on purpose, and she knows what it means! She's just waiting for her to speak.

At this moment, Xia Shizhao was too busy with Qi Qi's coquettish cries in his arms to pay attention to the two of them.

Anyway, they wouldn't dare to fight.

Putting everything else aside, Qingli could probably knock Qiuli unconscious with a single punch.

Even if both of them faint, Xia Shizhao can save them on his own.

Suddenly, Qingli noticed that Qiuli's cheeks and the area behind her ears had turned slightly red, and she looked embarrassed. She was disgusted and shuddered.

Looking at Xia Shizhao to the side, she saw her acting like a thug, prying apart Xiaobai's legs which were tightly covered by his hands, and saying, "Baby, let your older sister see if you're a little sister or a little brother, don't be shy~"

The little white tiger Qiqi was powerless to struggle. After Xia Shizhao saw it, it lay there like a cat, its soul ascending to heaven.

"…………"

The sky seemed to collapse and the earth cracked. Qingli cried out in disbelief, "Sister... what are you doing?"

"Let's check Qiqi's gender~ We can buy her a cute pink dress to wear."

Xia Shizhao picked up Qiqi, rubbed against her, and kissed her little face.

Qiu Li's expression returned to normal, but her ears were still slightly red. She coughed awkwardly and said, "You guys keep going, I'll go cook now."

There was a feeling of fleeing in panic.

Xia Shizhao looked completely puzzled.

What are you doing? Is a ghost chasing her?

Shaking his head helplessly, he and Qingli strolled around the place and had just reached the living room.

Ding-dong.

"We won't go any further for now. The three kids have eaten and are now asleep. You guys go ahead and eat. Sorry!"

News about Ge Shiyi.

Xia Shizhao, holding the little white tiger, immediately called Qiu Li, "Ge Shiyi and the others can't come because of something, so don't bother making dinner!!!"

"Hmm? Great, that's four dishes and a soup. You can come and eat now."

"Okay, Qingli, let's go eat."

When Qiu Li arrived at the location, she had just taken off her apron. The indoor environment was temperature-controlled, so she changed into a short-sleeved shirt. She seemed a little hot, and the lines on her arms looked particularly beautiful.

Seemingly unaware of Xia Shizhao's furtive glances, Qiu Li even pulled out a chair for Xia Shizhao to sit down, "Give it a try."

Xia Shizhao reached out his chopsticks and ate a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

"tasty."

"If it's delicious, then eat more."

Qiu Li rested her chin on her hand and watched Xia Shizhao eat for a while before starting to eat herself.

Qingli ate while feeling envious.

She can only fight, not cook.

After finishing their meal, Xia Shizhao and Qiu Li chatted for a while and discovered that Qiu Li was a true confidante. Qing Li felt like a third wheel next to her.

On the way home, Xia Shizhao, sitting in the passenger seat next to Qiu Li, turned his head and said, "I'll be going back tomorrow after I finish what I need to do. Qing Li, you and Ling Ying get along well."

After observing Qiu Li for a day, I found that Qiu Li had virtually no flaws and there was nothing to criticize or sow discord among. I nodded somewhat dejectedly in the back seat to indicate that I understood.
