He Liyu noticed that Shen Linyue's gaze was fixed on the top of his head, so he raised his hand and touched it.
I washed up when I came back in the afternoon, and my hair is still soft.
"Why are you staring at me?" He Liyu asked gently.
Shen Linyue snapped out of her daze, took the schoolbag back from He Xiao, obediently sat down next to him, and honestly asked, "What shampoo do you use?"
He Liyu: "?"
He met the girl's sincere eyes and for the first time didn't quite understand what she wanted to do.
After considering for a moment, he said, "The toiletries at home are all purchased by the group. If you need any, I can give you mine."
Shen Linyue waved her hand and got down to business: "Last time I met Jiang Yanxin alone. She didn't reveal anything, but the only thing I'm sure of is that she has no romantic feelings for you. It's all an act."
He Xiao sat down next to Shen Linyue and unpacked the gifts He Liyu had brought back. He didn't really want to see them; he just sat down because he saw the two of them sitting downstairs. He didn't mean anything by it.
Hearing Lin Yue say such a serious sentence again, he couldn't help but look up at Lao He.
Well, he looks like he's in his 30s even though he's 40. No wonder so many women are chasing after him. Isn't he the kind of eligible bachelor people talk about?
So many years have passed, and he no longer expects his mother to remain chaste.
As they were dismantling it, a racing car model suddenly caught their eye, and He Xiao's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at Old He.
"Is this racing car model mine?" he asked excitedly.
He had been waiting for this model for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. The main reason was that this thing was out of print and the official would never sell it to the public again, so it was very difficult to get. Unexpectedly, Lao He actually found it for him!
At this moment, He Xiao decided to pause his resentment towards Lao He for one minute.
He Liyu's gaze shifted to the transparent acrylic box in his hand, swept over his bright and passionate eyes, and smiled slightly: "Yes, I got it through a friend. I'm glad you like it."
He Xiao held the box with great delight, and the father and son were enjoying each other's company for the first time.
Shen Linyue, who was watching from the side, rested her chin on her hands, her eyes gentle.
"The bodyguards said you encountered a madman on the way back?" He Liyu was not interested in how others felt about him.
Shen Linyue turned her gaze back to him, but before she could speak, He Xiao spoke first.
“You have to severely criticize Comrade Lin Yue for this. The situation was so critical, yet she chose to save me first. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like for that knife to pierce her frail body,” He Xiao said, frowning in disapproval.
However, after he finished speaking, two pairs of eyes fell on his face simultaneously, leaving He Xiao feeling both confused and impressed.
Why are you looking at me?
He Liyu frowned, looked at Shen Linyue with concern, and said in a deep voice, "It's because your movements are too slow. I'll enroll you in a few martial arts classes to improve your foundation."
He Xiao: ?!
Huh? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?!
He simply couldn't believe it. Was it his fault? He had seen the bodyguards come out long ago, which was why he hadn't run away!
But he was too lazy to explain and reluctantly said, "Whatever."
When Shen Linyue noticed He Liyu's gaze returning to her, she involuntarily straightened her back and took the initiative to admit her mistake just as he was about to scold her.
"I promise I will never act impulsively again!" she said solemnly.
He Liyu pursed his lips and suddenly smiled: "I don't blame you, but A-Xiao is right. It's okay for him to be thick-skinned, but you can't be."
He Xiao: "..." Did I just pick you up from a trash can?
Shen Linyue almost died laughing at He Xiao's frustrated expression, then put on a serious face and promised, "I will definitely remember the organization's teachings!"
He Liyu smiled helplessly, wondering where she had learned such tricks.
"Old Jiang invited us to his villa this Saturday. Do you want to go?" He Liyu asked calmly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
“His estate is in the mountains, where the temperature is lower but the scenery is beautiful. It has never been open to the public, so I will decline if you are not interested.”
Shen Linyue did not reply immediately. Instead, she and He Xiao exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation and confusion in each other's eyes.
“Now that we know Jiang Jinyu has problems, we’re still getting too close to him. Won’t he turn on us?” Shen Linyue asked.
If they all go, wouldn't they be waiting to be wiped out in one fell swoop?
Shen Linyue was somewhat puzzled by He Liyu's meaning, so she asked directly, "Or do you have some plans?"
"Well, he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack us at the villa. Besides, who told you that only we would be going there?" He Liyu smiled mysteriously, his smile full of meaning and calculation.
Shen Linyue asked in surprise, "There are other people?"
“Some old classmates I got along well with in college,” He Liyu said casually, taking another sip of tea, his eyes full of contentment.
He didn't seem to feel there was anything wrong with his arrangement.
Shen Linyue: "..."
He silently gave He Liyu a thumbs up; if a large group of people went over, he wouldn't even dare to make a move.
If something were to happen to a group of people at his villa, he, the homeowner, would be the first to be summoned.
"Do you know why he invited us?" He Xiao asked.
He and his father used to be frequently invited to his home, and he was used to it. But after learning some truths from Lin Yue, all his romantic feelings towards Jiang Jinyu have vanished.
It was as if every glance he gave him was calculated, and he felt like a piece of meat on the chopping block, making him uncomfortable.
He Liyu glanced at Shen Linyue: "Perhaps they noticed something when you went to see Jiang Yanxin last time."
That's why Jiang Jinyu was so eager to confirm all of this.
Shen Linyue was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise after thinking carefully, "It was the medicine I gave Jiang Yanxin when I left!"
She appeared surprised, but her face showed no sign of regret.
He Liyu knew everything, but he sighed and rubbed his forehead, his eyes full of disapproval: "A-Yue, you were too impulsive."
Shen Linyue smiled slightly and comforted him, "It will be exposed sooner or later. I just chose a shortcut, and with you protecting me, I'm sure I won't encounter any mishaps!"
Her starry eyes looked at him so sincerely that one couldn't help but be captivated by her gaze.
Completely ignored, He Xiao: ? ? ?
Do you want to explain to me what all this is all about?
You two have secrets I don't know about, don't you?!
"What are you talking about?" He Xiao asked quietly, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.
Shen Linyue glanced back at him innocently: "It's part of our plan. You'll find out when the time is right."
He Xiao paused for a moment: "So I'm outside your plans?"
“No, it’s part of the plan, because their next target is likely to be you.” He Liyu suddenly interrupted He Xiao’s questioning: “You need to protect yourself, don’t forget to strengthen your physical training, and remember to go to the martial arts class.”
Old He's words successfully diverted He Xiao's attention. "Are you serious?"
