With the car engine off, the interior lights came on. Ji Tong looked at the man in the orange light and laughed, "If you don't have a cat that can do backflips, then I won't go."
"Okay, you can tell your aunt that the movie was boring and she left early."
Miyanoko did not refuse.
Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Dr. Gong, I'm starting to wonder if you've seen through the illusions of the world and are ready to become a monk at any moment?"
"……Why?"
"I thought if I said that, you would say you'd consider getting a cat or something, but I didn't expect you to agree so easily?"
Miyahiko explained, "I'm too busy with work to take care of small animals, so I won't consider getting a cat."
Ji Tong originally had no intention of going to Gong Yanli's house.
They were, after all, just pretending to be a couple, and it always felt a bit strange for a man and a woman to be alone together in a room.
However, after discovering that Gong Yanli was a block of ice, Ji Tong changed her mind. "Alright, then I'll reluctantly go to your house to play for a while, and leave after I've had enough movie time."
"good."
Miyazaki agreed.
Not a single word more.
Ji Tong parked the car in a parking space before going upstairs with him.
She had assumed that Gong Yanli, as the owner of Shenghe Hospital, would live in a super luxurious manor villa. It would be one thing for him to live in a high-end neighborhood like this, but when she entered the house, she found that the room didn't seem very big.
The living room is just very spacious.
It's more accurate to call it a study-style living room than a living room. Several towering bookshelves are filled with books, there's a large desk in the middle, and several different kinds of comfortable chairs around it, but they're all single chairs.
The kitchen next door is also open-plan.
"Your house is so big!"
Ji Tong couldn't help but sigh.
This living room alone is much bigger than hers.
“What you see is almost all of my house,” Gong Yanli said. “This house is about 140 square meters. I demolished the non-load-bearing walls of several rooms to make up this large living room. I only kept one bedroom and one bathroom.”
Ji Tong looked around. "You took everything down? So all you do at home is read and sleep?"
“Yes, I don’t go home very often,” Gong Yanli said.
Ji Tong walked a few steps to the bookshelf, looked at the thick books, and randomly picked one out. The weight surprised her.
Once opened, it was filled with English text.
Ji Tong felt a little dizzy. As she put the books back, she asked, "Have you read all of these books?"
“I’ve seen most of them.” Gong Yanli bent down and picked up a blanket from a sofa. “Please sit wherever you like. Although I rarely stay here, someone comes to clean every day, so it’s very clean.”
Ji Tong went back to the study, found a comfortable-looking soft sofa to sit on, and then carefully looked around the whole house.
To be honest, if it weren't for the bookshelves full of books, the whole house would look like it had never been lived in. There was only a computer on the desk, no plants or decorations, it looked like a brand new house that had just been furnished.
"Miyahiko, what do you do in your daily life?"
“Work, meetings, reading,” Gong Yanli thought carefully and added, “Eating, sleeping, socializing.”
Ji Tong pouted: "Isn't your life too boring?"
Gong Yanli said, "But the hospital is operating very well and is very profitable."
The man's words left Ji Tong speechless.
She pulled over another sofa. "Come here, shall I teach you how to play games?"
Gong Yanli instinctively refused, "I've never played games, so I wouldn't be a good student."
"If I can teach you well, wouldn't that mean I'm a good teacher? And I'm really good at it, I'll show you how to play." Ji Tong held out his hand, "Give me your phone, I'll download the game for you first."
It was hard to refuse such hospitality.
Gong Yanli took his cell phone out of his pants pocket and handed it to Ji Tong.
"password."
"No."
Ji Tong was stunned. She took the phone and checked it, and found that the man's phone really didn't have a password.
"Your phone doesn't have a password, aren't you afraid that if you lose it, someone else will just look at all the information on it?"
For ordinary people, it's fine if their phones don't have passwords.
Someone with Gong Yanli's status must have a lot of confidential information on their phone. Without a password, it's like running naked—it's extremely unsafe.
“I have them send important information to my email address, and you need a password to log in to my email on your phone,” Gong Yanli said.
Ji Tongzhen never expected that her casual question would elicit such a serious explanation from the man.
Ji Tong patted the sofa next to him, "Sit down, I'll download the game for you first, and then I'll teach you how to play."
The man had just sat down next to her when her phone received a call from an unknown number.
Ji Tong naturally handed the phone to Gong Yanli.
She thought the man would walk away to answer the phone, but to her surprise, he just sat down next to her and answered the call.
The call had barely connected when a woman's voice came through before Gong Yanli could speak: "Yanli, it's me..."
Even though it had been many years since she last heard from him, and even though the voice on the phone was barely audible, Ji Tong immediately recognized that the person on the phone was Miao Miao.
Without a second thought, she got up to leave.
The next second, her wrist was grabbed by the man.
