Chapter 161 162 Tenderness, found (Update 1)

The lights were dim, and only the shadow of the sycamore tree from the next yard was swaying on the wall.

Jiang Fuli lowered his head slightly, and the end of his voice still carried his usual coolness.

The breeze brushed lightly through the treetops, and from this point, the sound of whispers from the yard not far away could occasionally be heard.

He gently pulled Bai Shi over and gave her a very light hug.

His eyes swept across the ends of her black hair, the wooden hairpin shining slightly in the light, and her slender white neck, but this time he placed his chin on Bai Shi's shoulder.

He rubbed it gently.

The alley was filled with the faint cool mint floating in the air, and the atmosphere was quiet yet inexplicably restless.

"Okay," he let go of her hand, took a step back, looked at her for a while, his beautiful eyes slightly curved, "Good night."

In the yard.

Ji Heng sat on the stone table, drawing a design. Next to him, Jiang He was holding half an apple in one hand and a puzzle piece in the other, slowly putting the puzzle together.

The light next to them made the two figures look very long.

Bai Di opened the door and came in. Her voice was calm: "Grandpa, I'm back."

She would say this to Ji Heng every day when she came back, and would also say this to Ji Heng when she went out. Ji Heng would wait for her no matter how late it was.

"There are still dumplings in the rice cooker." Ji Heng lowered his head, and looked carefully on the paper for a long time before he made a stroke.

Bai Di put her schoolbag in the room, and while eating a bowl of dumplings, she took out her cell phone.

Xu Wenyao's message: [I asked a friend to find a new question bank]

Xu Wenyao: [[Pictures]]

They are all biology and chemistry. Because of what Director Huang said, he knows Baishen's weak subjects very well. These data are not easy to find.

Xu Wenyao: [Send it to your school? ]

Xu Wenyao has been to Xiangcheng and knows that Baishen is in Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Baishen: [I will have someone go to your place to get it tomorrow]

Yan Lu's scenes in Xiangcheng have been filmed, and they will go to Jiangjing to shoot the last part. It should take more than a month to complete all the filming.

Xuechun and Xiaowu went to Jiangjing these two days, one to send the contract to Yan Lu, and the other to inquire about the traditional Chinese medicine market in Jiangjing.

Now that traditional Chinese medicine is declining, Xiaoqi is very ambitious.

As he said, Baishen turned to Xuechun's WeChat again and asked her to find Xu Wenyao tomorrow.

She ate dumplings while looking at her phone. Ji Heng looked at her for a while, put down his pen, took out his cigarette holder, and said, "Don't study when you eat. Combine work and rest."

Bai Mi drank a sip of soup and looked up, "Grandpa, what does wave-particle duality of light mean?"

Ji Heng: "..."

He lowered his head and picked out a piece of the puzzle that Jiang He had just put together, and said seriously, "You made a mistake here."

Jiang He still had a bite of apple in his mouth, and watched Ji Heng pick out a piece of the puzzle he had put together, and then forced it into a place where it didn't belong.

Jiang He: "..."

Saturday.

Xu Wenyao found some free time to come to Xu's.

On the way, he happened to meet Mr. Wang who had hurried back from abroad. When Mr. Wang saw Xu Wenyao, his face was full of wrinkles, "Wenyao."

"Mr. Wang." Xu Wenyao was very polite to him, but also very distant. He

went straight into the elevator, leaving Mr. Wang at the elevator door with a "Puh". He had a business deal to discuss abroad, and after hearing the news from Master Chen, he hurried back.

As a result, the Xu family kept silent about this matter, and even Mrs. Xu couldn't get anything out of her mouth.

Ding -

the elevator door opened, and a middle-aged woman came out.

"Hey, Mr. Wang," the woman followed by her secretary, looking energetic and capable, "you are back from vacation. Let's have a drink together sometime. I still have to report to our master."

Mr. Wang's face was gloomy. He naturally recognized her. This woman was from the Ma family. He had robbed a case from her before. Unexpectedly, this wedding banquet gave her an opportunity to get to know Shen Min.

He looked at the back of the middle-aged woman with a very twisted smile. Who knew that Xu En's second marriage, and the person he married was someone who came from nowhere, could actually invite Shen Min and the Chen family?

Upstairs.

Xu Wenyao talked to Xu En about the situation in the school laboratory.

Ji Mulan followed Xu En. She studied design, but she was also trying to get close to the Xu family. She could understand a little bit of what Xu Wenyao said.

Outside the door, Old Lady Xu came in with a cane.

She knew Xu Wenyao would come to Xu's today, so she came directly to the door, "Wenyao, what's going on between you and Shuyun recently?"

"I've explained it to her clearly," Xu Wenyao didn't want to mention this to Old Lady Xu. He pressed his brows and stood up, "Grandma, I still have to deliver college entrance examination data to A-Xi's friend, so I'll go downstairs first."

He went out directly.

Xu En didn't talk to Ji Mulan. Ji Mulan couldn't control Xu Wenyao's affairs. Xu En never restricted Xu Wenyao, which gave Old Lady Xu a headache.

The Qi family was the most suitable one among the people she had chosen.

"Bai Ti is also taking the college entrance examination this year, right?" Old Mrs. Xu mentioned Bai Ti, she looked at Xu En, "I heard from the Qi family that they said they could arrange for Bai Ti to study at the affiliated middle school."

The affiliated middle school is not something you can go to whenever you want, and the Qi family will have to spend a lot of effort to send Bai Ti in.

Hearing what Old Mrs. Xu said, Ji Mulan clenched her hands, very excited, she quickly looked at Xu En .

Xu En pondered for a moment, "I'll ask Auntie."

Bai Ti didn't have classes today, and she replied to the message very quickly. Xu En was not surprised to see this answer, "Mom, tell the Qi family not to bother."

"She's not coming?" Mrs. Xu was very surprised.

However, she didn't care whether Bai Zhi would come or not, and didn't ask any more questions. She just looked at Xu En and said, "There are not many days left before the college entrance examination. Zhiyue, you two should take good care of her."

Xu Zhiyue was the old lady's hope, and her grades were even better than Xu Wenyao's.

"She will definitely be in the top three." Butler Xu spoke at the right time.

"May our ancestors bless you," Old Lady Xu put down her cane and clasped her hands together, "I will try to get the second place in the national exam."

Ji Mulan didn't know much about the affiliated middle school, and she smiled more when she mentioned Xu Zhiyue: "What if I get the first place?"

When she mentioned this, Old Lady Xu glanced at Ji Mulan, picked up the teacup and took a sip, without saying anything.

"It's not that easy to get the first place in the national exam. The first place in North City is only around 50th in the country, and the second place is also a score that the Xu family has never had. The highest place in our Xu family was Young Master Wen Yao, who was 12th at that time." Butler Xu smiled, "This year's first place will definitely be the one from the Liang family. The betting pool is 82% for the Liang family."

So the first place in North City is so worthless here?

And the Liang family?

Betting pool?

What is this? Ji Mulan lowered her eyes, it was something she had never heard of before.

**

Downstairs.

Xu Wenyao took out his cell phone, sent someone a location, and waited on the sidewalk.

He was wearing a black woolen coat with a white sweater inside. He had a gentle complexion, was tall and had long legs. He also had a black scarf around his neck, and his eyes were searching in the crowd. He

had met Bai Xi's friends before. Ning Xiao and Tang Ming both had the aura of academic masters, and this one should be the same.

Soon, a woman wearing black boots, leather pants, a tight sweater on the upper body, and a long cotton jacket on the outside appeared in his sight. The zipper was not zipped up, and there was a cigarette between her snow-white fingertips. She had wavy curly hair and flaming red lips. She was a kind of decadent beauty.

It was obviously a kind of flamboyant and dazzling beauty, but it made people feel as if it would break with the slightest touch.

Next to her was a red-haired spirited boy.

Xu Wenyao hadn't yet connected these two people to Bai Di's friends.

Until the woman stopped in front of him, looked him up and down, then took out her phone to compare, and curled her lips at him, "Friends who want to bring something for Miss Bai?"

Xu Wenyao glanced at her, then nodded: "Yes, Xu Wenyao."

He stretched out his hand and politely wanted to shake hands.

Xue Chun looked at the logo of Jiangjing University printed on his ziplock bag, then looked at his clean hands, smiled, and didn't raise his hands.

Beside her, Hongmao hurriedly shook Xu Wenyao's hands with both hands: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, right? Hello, hello, just give me my sister's things."

He took Bai Di's things.

Bai Di's two friends are really strange. Xu Wenyao watched them leave.

"Swish--"

A red sports car stopped in front of him, Qi Shuyun got out of the driver's seat, she took off her sunglasses, "Xu Wenyao, you want to break up with me just because of that woman?!"

Xu Wenyao came back to his senses, he looked at Qi Shuyun, "Shuyun,"

Xiangcheng.

At noon, there were not many people in the coffee shop on the first floor of the library.

When Ming Dongheng came in, Bai Di was rarely sleeping on the table. He lowered his footsteps, stood two meters away from the table, and looked at Jiang Fuli hesitantly.

Jiang Fuli sat next to Bai Di and looked down at her.

After seeing Ming Dongheng, he gently moved the chair away and walked towards Ming Dongheng.

Ming Dongheng held the phone and tried to keep his voice down, "Master Xu has arrived in North City, and the housekeeper said you should not go to the experimental base in the next few days."

Jiang Fuli stood by the door, looking in the direction of Bai Shi. From

this angle, you can see her profile exposed. The coffee shop is inside, and the light is not strong. Her skin is too fair, and her long eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on her eyelids.

It can be seen that she did not sleep well, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

I wonder if she sleeps like this at night.

Jiang Fuli thought quietly.

"What kind of fragrance does housekeeper Jiang always use?" Jiang Fuli looked at Ming Dongheng.

Ming Dongheng: "......?"

The topic changed too quickly. Before Jiang Fuli could reply, he brought up a new topic. Ming Dongheng looked up blankly, "May I ask?"

"Yes." Jiang Fuli stood up and sat back down next to Bai Ti.

Ming Dongheng looked at Bai Ti curiously. This was the first time he saw Bai Ti sleeping outside. Bai Ti looked lazy and didn't seem to care about anything, but she was very strict with etiquette in her bones. He

must have been staring at her for too long.

Ming Dongheng felt a cold gaze. He raised his head abruptly and met Jiang Fuli's indifferent but extremely dangerous eyes. He reacted with a start. He

turned around quickly and fled away.

Why was he staring at Miss Bai for no reason?

"Mr. Xiao Ming," Tang Ming just came over with two cups of milk tea, and was confused when he saw Ming Dongheng like this, "Do you... do you need to call a doctor?"

Ming Dongheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said expressionlessly: "No need."

Tang Ming shrugged, and when he turned around, he imitated Ming Dongheng and said "No need", and then muttered softly: "How cool."

He went in, saw that Bai was still sleeping, and carefully placed the two cups of milk tea next to Jiang Fuli.

Bai Di was still asleep. She had hardly had a good sleep since her father and brother died. Her dreams were of bloody hands crawling out of the yellow sand, her father and brother's faces with eyes wide open, and the Bai family army who were helpless and died on the battlefield...

Since she met Ji Mulan, she dreamed of her mother the most.

She tried to reproduce these scenes over and over in her dreams.

Ji Heng always thought that she was a young person with vigorous energy and didn't need to sleep.

Bai Xi moved her hands and slowly opened her eyes. Jiang Fuli placed his slender fingers on the book and looked down at her, frowning. He said in a low voice, "Did I wake you up by turning the pages?"

Her eyes were blurry for only a second before she regained consciousness. She sat up straight with her hands on the table, rubbing her wrists slowly, "No, I was a light sleeper."

Her voice was as lazy as ever.

Jiang Fuli tore open the plastic bag on the straw of the milk tea with one hand, stuck the straw into the lid of the milk tea, and elegantly pushed the milk tea to Bai Xi's hand, "Wake up."

**

At the same time.

Qingshui Street, Ji Heng's yard, the door was open.

Ji Heng was drawing. Next to him, a woman in her thirties was embroidering. She was embroidering the patterns for the skirts of the girls in Class 15. The amount was large, and Ji Heng was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the children's work schedule, so he specially asked Ms. Liu next door.

There were two or three knocks on the door. "Hello."

Ji Heng looked up and saw two strangers standing at the door. He put down his pen and stood up. "Who are you looking for?"

The older person on the left looked up and smiled. "Young Master, long time no see."
