Xia's mother told Li Si some stories about Old Xia before his death.
The main point is to intentionally or unintentionally mention the reason for his death.
She was afraid that the young man didn't know yet and would overthink things, which would affect his relationship with his daughter.
Li Si already knew the whole story, but he still listened quietly while Xia's mother spoke.
Finally, Xia's mother steered the conversation toward Lu Yibei.
"We have to thank Attorney Lu for this, Yi Bei..."
Attorney Lu is Lu Chaoxi.
Lu Yibei's mother.
Lu Yibei, however, disagreed: "Go ahead and thank her, I didn't do anything..."
Then, he changed the subject:
"Besides, this is how my mom makes a living. It's not like she didn't take your money."
Hearing the boy's carefree words, Xia's mother smiled happily:
"It's been two or three years since we last met... You haven't changed at all."
If she had to describe him, Xia's mother felt that Lu Yibei was the kind of boy next door who was always there for her.
His speech and actions exude a sense of casualness.
But it is precisely this casualness that makes people feel warm and without barriers—even after several years apart.
Lu Yibei smiled:
"Xia Li hasn't changed either."
Xia Li chuckled again. Was Brother Bei referring to her sincere personality and childlike heart...?
"For example, height..."
"Brother Bei, you son of a bitch—"
Xia Li was about to make her move.
Xia's mother interrupted the spellcasting:
"You all sit down and chat. I'll go check on the chicken soup—it's a bit small, don't mind."
It refers to the living room.
Actually, Xia Li's house isn't small; in fact, it's quite large.
However, with the duplex structure, after the downstairs is used as a shop, the upstairs also needs to be used to build a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, making the layout seem a bit cramped.
The mother and daughter usually live a fine life, but it's a bit crowded today with so many guests.
Even after everyone squeezed onto a small sofa, Li Si still couldn't find a seat.
Xia Li asked him to bring a stool to sit next to her.
Generally speaking, children raised in families like Xia Li's tend to be more sensitive and have a delicate mind, and are prone to low self-esteem.
but--
"Where is the small size! Do you know how much housing prices are in Hangzhou now? If you think it's too small, go buy one yourself—"
Good news, Xia Li isn't slender.
Bad news, Xia Li is thick-skinned.
Xia's mother could only smile helplessly.
After she went to the kitchen, Ji, who was usually tongue-tied in front of her elders, finally spoke.
Moreover, his opening remarks were heavyweight.
"Senior..."
"ah?"
Where is your room?
“There,” Xia Li pointed.
"Can I watch it?" Ji Qingqian asked.
"--sure."
Fortunately, Xia Li's thick-skinned nature was no joke. She slapped her thigh, just as she was wondering what to do: "Ta-da! Next up is the highly anticipated 'Xia Li's boudoir reveal'—"
Ji Qingqian was shocked: "It's actually the revelation segment!"
Lu Yibei was horrified: "They actually called it a boudoir!"
Xia Li was dissatisfied, mainly directed at Lu Yibei: "What's wrong? Aren't girls' rooms supposed to be their private rooms?!"
Lu Yibei paused for a moment:
"Brother Pear, be a little more normal. I really can't stand your sissy behavior."
Xia Li snapped, "Get out! If you have a problem with it, then don't watch!"
Li Si replied, "I have no objection."
Xia Li's room?
Heh, that's interesting.
Xia Li glanced at Li Si, then at Ji Qingqian and Lu Yibei.
Then, with a snap, the door was opened.
Bang!
Then I closed it again.
Li Si glanced at the door and then at the empty living room.
Are you not letting me in?
…Heh, that's interesting.
He showed no sadness, joy, anger, or happiness, and without any expression, he picked up the tea and took a small sip.
Just then, Xia's mother returned to the living room from the kitchen and saw Li Si all alone.
He thought to himself, "What a handsome young man."
If Yi Bei represents the pinnacle of the boy next door, then this guy is the epitome of a future elite.
How fortunate I am that this is my own daughter's boyfriend!
but.
"Where are they?" Xia's mother asked.
"Xia Li's room." Li Si calmly blew on a disposable cup.
"--you?"
Xia Li won't let me in.
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother immediately raised her eyebrows and began banging on the door.
"Xia Li! What's wrong with you!?"
"How did you leave someone outside?"
"Don't you have any manners?!"
Xia Li shouted from inside, "Don't let him in! Don't let him in!"
Xia's mother said a few more words, but she could only get this answer again.
"What's wrong with this child..."
Xia's mother quickly came over to explain to Li Si, "She wouldn't have done that."
Now, Xia's mother considers this future son-in-law a treasure.
Her daughter missed this opportunity; she'll never find another boy with such poor eyesight.
Fortunately, the boy showed no signs of anger; he chuckled softly.
"I know."
Xia's mother wanted to say something more to defend her daughter.
Despite racking my brains, I still couldn't come up with a coherent sentence.
Instead, Li Si spoke up for Xia Li:
"The girl is shy."
Xia Li's biological mother was stunned upon hearing this: "Her? Xia Li? Shy!?"
Even my own mother has never seen anything like this.
Judging from the son-in-law's confident demeanor, Xia's mother was certain.
—He had seen it.
“Xia Li really likes you…” Xia’s mother said.
