He Liyu never expected that the first thing A Yue said to him that morning would be asking about another man.
He paused for a few seconds before asking, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Shen Linyue thought for a moment and replied, "I had a dream about A-Xiao. I dreamt that he beat up Jiang Zhixing, and I also heard Jiang Zhixing say that his father had died."
She looked at him: "So I wanted to ask."
He Liyu understood and pondered for a moment before saying, "Jiang Yanxin's husband was in poor health and died in the hospital the year after A Yue disappeared."
"So Jiang Zhixing took Jiang Yanxin's surname?" Shen Linyue asked.
He Liyu nodded: "Yes, Jiang Yanxin's husband's surname is Xie."
As for why Jiang Zhixing took Jiang Yanxin's surname, he didn't know; after all, it was a matter between the couple.
Shen Linyue understood, and a smile returned to her face as she sincerely asked, "Oh, if A-Xiao and I disappeared together, would you choose Jiang Yanxin?"
Congratulatory gifts: ?
He felt that something was off about the girl, asking such a question so early in the morning.
"Is it also related to your dream?" he asked cautiously.
Shen Linyue nodded and then shook her head, her eyes full of curiosity: "It's just curiosity."
He Liyu smiled helplessly, stepped forward and pinched her cheek, then lowered his hand with a reserved air: "No, I will find out the murderer first, and then I will go to accompany you."
He's doing well now because Ah Xiao is his last lifeline.
Shen Linyue paused for a moment, met He Liyu's calm gaze, and after a long while said hesitantly, "Oh, I didn't realize that President He was such a love-struck person?"
He Liyu smiled and said, "Perhaps."
Shen Linyue's heart pounded uncontrollably at this moment, staring blankly at the man in front of her.
The next moment, Assistant Ji's voice came from outside the door.
"Boss, it's almost 6:30, we should get going."
He Liyu looked at the little girl in front of him and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. I'll bring you a gift next time I come back. Goodbye."
"Can Uncle Liu still pick us up and drop us off at school?" Now that the weather is getting colder and it looks like it's going to snow, she doesn't want He Xiao to ride his motorcycle.
But every weekend he would secretly ride his motorcycle out to have some fun.
He Liyu paused slightly, and because they were some distance apart, she couldn't see his expression, but she saw him nod and say, "Okay."
...
The weekend went by faster than usual.
On Sunday, Li Yanxi taught them for two hours as usual.
Shen Linyue and Li Yanxi were practically friends. Every time he finished a class, the two would chat for a while. The only thing that hadn't changed was He Xiao's hostility towards Li Yanxi.
Just like an older brother who is picky about his younger siblings, finding fault with everything they do, feeling that his precious little flower has been stuck in cow dung.
"I won't stop you from dating, but you can't date a gigolo!" He Xiao muttered to her with exasperation.
Shen Linyue: ...
She shoved her phone, now in camera mode, into He Xiao's hand, too lazy to explain, and said bluntly, "Take a picture for me, take a good one, and don't throw a tantrum."
He Xiao: ? ? ?
Why did he lose his temper like that? He was clearly advising her to open her eyes!
Besides, why should she let him take pictures of her and this pretty boy? Damn it! He'll be furious.
Also, why is she taking these photos? Is she going to share them with her girlfriends?
He Xiao, who seemed to understand everything, looked at Li Yanxi with even more anger.
Li Yanxi, who inadvertently met He Xiao's fiery gaze: ? Is there something you need, He Xiao?
"Teacher Li, could you explain this problem to me again?" The girl's clear voice rang out, and Li Yanxi's gaze was instantly drawn to it.
He smiled gently and said, "Okay, let me take a look."
Shen Linyue then frantically winked at He Xiao.
“This problem can be solved using a formula, it’s very simple…” Li Yanxi didn’t see the interaction between the two and was focused on solving the problem on the draft paper.
He Xiao: ...
With a sour look on his face as if he was owed millions, he reluctantly took a bunch of pictures of Li Yanxi.
Only after Li Yanxi left did He Xiao coldly shove the phone back into Shen Linyue's arms.
"Here you go. If you make me do this kind of pointless thing again, don't blame me for being ruthless," He Xiao said coldly.
Shen Linyue looked down at the photo album and then saw herself, as if her eyes were twitching, appearing in a ridiculously ugly photo taken by He Xiao.
Some even had their faces distorted.
Shen Linyue: !!!
"He Xiao! I told you to take pictures, not me! Look what you've done to me! Huh?!" the girl screamed in despair.
...
Inside the internet cafe.
Gu Yi'an was summoned by He Xiao's phone call and found He Xiao sitting in a private room, coldly killing everyone in the game.
"Brother Xiao, is there something you need?" Gu Yi'an glanced at his battle record and swallowed hard.
How terrifying! He could even feel the killing intent emanating from Brother Xiao.
Who has angered the devil again?!
The game ended quickly under He Xiao's leadership, but He Xiao was still not satisfied. He took off his headphones and his cold eyes swept over Gu Yi'an.
"What did you say?"
"...Haha, I'll play a couple of games with you then." Gu Yi'an gave an awkward laugh.
He Xiao didn't move, and asked in a sinister tone, "How do you say someone can disappear without anyone noticing?"
Gu Yi'an, who was rummaging through the chair, almost stumbled and fell to the ground, his smile looking more like a grimace than a cry.
"Brother Xiao, I'm innocent."
He Xiao gave him a disdainful look, then turned his gaze back to the screen: "Log in."
Gu Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Brother Xiao, are you going to the Jiang family's birthday banquet?"
"What am I supposed to do there? Attend a treacherous banquet?" He Xiao asked, displeased.
"But I heard your grandfather will be going too?"
He Xiao: "?!"
...
Classes start on Monday.
He Xiao then cornered Jiang Zhixing.
"Are all members of your Jiang family mentally ill? Why did your mother call my maternal grandfather on her birthday?! Don't you know he's in poor health and can't handle long journeys?" He Xiao slammed his fist on the tile, seemingly feeling no pain.
Jiang Zhixing glanced at the wall before his cold gaze landed on He Xiao's angry face.
“I have no right to question my mother’s decision.” He curled his lip. “The Jiang family will naturally take care of him. By the way, you can also take him back. He might be very happy to see Lin Yue.”
He Xiao frowned even more: "What does this have to do with Lin Yue?"
"How would I know? Go ask her," Jiang Zhixing scoffed, walking past him and leaving.
He Xiao was left alone, staring at Jiang Zhixing's retreating figure with an unreadable expression.
When He Xiao returned, Shen Linyue and Su Xiao were sitting together discussing homework.
Seeing He Xiao's gloomy demeanor, Shen Linyue gave him a cold look, feeling pained as she thought of the only ugly photo of herself in the world.
I used to not understand why guys looked so bad in photos online, but now I understand after experiencing it myself.
Seeing that He Xiao's expression was off, Su Xiao whispered something to Shen Linyue, then left with the notebook.
In the last row, only the mother and son remained.
"Do you know my maternal grandfather?" He Xiao asked bluntly after sitting down.
