Chapter 161 I Won’t Look for Him Again
Seeing this, An Ci laughed.
It’s just helping with homework, is it necessary to act like you’ve seen a ghost?
"Fugui, go home." She turned her head and shouted, and Fugui picked up the last piece of beef jerky with his mouth and hurried to follow.
In this way, An Ci went to the club every few days and did not return to the capital until the day before New Year's Eve.
She only came back once in a long time, and Mr. Song and his group of people surrounded her, asking about her well-being and treating her like a spoiled child.
But An Ci is very sweet-talking and can make everyone in the family smile.
Song Yuan felt jealous watching from the side, and couldn't help but wonder if he was picked up from the trash can by his parents.
Watching An Ci sit down next to him, he said, "Why do I feel like you're more like my parents' biological child?"
An Ci grabbed a pillow and leaned against it, spreading his hands and smiling, "I can't help it, you're not as handsome as me."
Song Yuan snorted and rolled his eyes at her, "You're just a little brat, how can you be handsome?"
Across from her, Old Madam Song said, "Let's talk later. Let's eat first."
An Ci stood up, and suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Song Xiunian and said, "Dad, don't you want Uncle Che to eat with us?"
Song Xiunian said, "He went on a long trip and said he won't be back for the New Year this year."
Hearing this, An Ci was stunned.
"When did Uncle Che leave?"
Could it be that he was trying to avoid her?
Or maybe...
What happened to Shen Mo?
Song Xiunian thought for a moment and said, "A month ago."
An Ci said "Oh" and lowered her long eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"What are you daydreaming about? Wash your hands and go eat." Song Yuan stood up and saw An Ci standing there in a daze, so he patted her shoulder.
An Ci followed him absentmindedly into the dining room.
After dinner, everyone stayed in Villa No. 1 for a while and then dispersed.
Late at night, the cold wind was biting.
After taking a shower, An Ci casually wiped his hair twice, threw the towel over his shoulders, and slowly walked to the desk.
She picked up her cell phone and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window while dialing.
Unlike the heating in the house, the temperature outside the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly dropped, and An Ci sneezed out of the cold.
She rubbed her nose, then found Shi Che's number and dialed it directly.
After a while, the other party answered the phone, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ci, Happy New Year."
An Ci raised the corner of his lips, "Uncle Che, I heard from my dad that you're going on a long trip. Aren't you coming back for the New Year?"
"Yeah, I've made plans with some friends to hang out." Shi Che said, "Don't worry, even if I don't go back, I won't miss your red envelope."
An Ci smiled and looked up to see Villa No. 3, opposite which was Shen Mo's room.
Just like the night, pitch black.
She clenched her phone, "Uncle Che, have you met Shen Mo?"
Shi Che was silent for a while, his tone faintly helpless, "No."
An Ci's eyes darkened and he whispered, "Uncle Che, don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you?" Shi Che sighed, "That guy hasn't contacted me yet."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Xiao Ci, listen to Uncle Che's advice and don't look for him. That guy will show up when he wants to."
An Ci pursed her lips and said nothing. She just wanted to know whether he was doing well and whether he was being bullied somewhere she didn't know about.
But he was so cruel that he disappeared without a word.
She hesitated to speak, and Shi Che's heart was in turmoil. Just as he was about to speak, An Ci's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I know, Uncle Che, I won't look for him again."
Hearing this, Shi Che should have breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't be happy. Instead, he was worried about Shen Mo.
He racked his brains to say a few good words for Shen Mo, but before he could open his mouth, An Ci spoke first, "Uncle Che, I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and turned back to the room.
…
On New Year's Eve, Villa No. 1 was particularly lively.
After helping to paste the window paper-cuts, An Ci lazily sat on the sofa playing with his tablet.
Next to them, Song Yuan and Song Xi were watching TV and chatting, and Song Xi would feed An Ci some snacks from time to time.
At this moment, the mobile phone that was charging on the side suddenly vibrated.
Song Xi noticed it and turned his head to take a look, "Zizi, your phone is ringing."
As she spoke, she unplugged the charging cable and handed her the phone.
An Ci stood up and picked up the call. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she frowned and answered it in confusion, "Hello."
It was a young man's voice. "Mr. Anci, your takeaway has been delivered to the entrance of Jinyuan. Could you please come out and get it?"
takeout?
An Ci was stunned for a few seconds, then suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll be there now."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Song Yuan and the others, "Who ordered takeout?"
Song Xi shook his head, "No."
Song Yuan, "Me neither."
An Ci was puzzled. She picked up her coat and put it on, saying as she walked out, "I'm going to go out for a while."
"I'll go with you." Song Yuan was worried and followed him out with his cell phone.
Villa No. 1 was some distance away from Jinyuan, and walking there was too slow, so Song Yuan took out the small electric scooter he had bought earlier from the yard and asked An Ci to sit in the back.
After half a year, Song Yuan rode an electric scooter again. His riding skills were as steady as ever. When he arrived at the gate of Jinyuan, he saw a delivery boy in a blue uniform standing there waiting.
An Ci got out of the car and walked over. "Hello, where's my takeaway?"
"Are you Mr. An Ci?" The delivery guy looked at An Ci and asked for confirmation.
An Ci nodded, and the delivery guy handed her the takeaway.
Printed on the takeaway bag was the name and logo of a shop that both An Ci and Song Yuan were familiar with. It was the popular milk tea shop near Nanyi High School.
