The hoarse voice was wrapped in the laziness of waking up in the morning. Li Susu then remembered that he had repeatedly held her hand last night, and the tip of her ears instantly turned red.
Obviously, nothing inappropriate happened, but the remaining warmth in her palm and those restrained yet hot kisses turned into a fine electric current, running up to the tip of his heart along his numb wrist.
"Who... who made you do that yesterday..." She turned her face away, her voice muffled by the pillow.
Bo Junyi chuckled and held her in his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of her head.
The morning light filtered into the bedroom through the gauze curtains, and the two of them woke up laughing.
While I was packing, Aunt Lin called and said that breakfast was ready.
Li Susu washed up quickly and dialed Tang Yixin's number, wanting to ask her to come down for dinner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, the voice that came was Ye Beichen's.
"No need, breakfast is ready." The sudden voice startled her and made her hand tremble, and she almost dropped the phone.
"What's wrong?" Bo Junyi keenly noticed her abnormality.
"Ye Beichen is at Xinxin's place upstairs. I don't know when he left." Li Susu frowned, her tone full of worry.
Bo Junyi comforted him, "Don't worry, your friend is not someone you can easily bully."
She said "I know", but Li Susu couldn't really feel at ease. She took advantage of the time when Bo Junyi turned around and tiptoed upstairs.
I pushed open the door to the living room and found the room was empty.
The faint sound of laughter drifted from the residents across the street, and the familiar voices made her heart tighten.
She turned around, tentatively pushed open the half-closed door, and half of her body leaned in. She saw Tang Yixin and Ye Beichen sitting around the dining table eating breakfast.
The table was filled with steaming spicy hotpot and boiled fish.
What surprised her even more was that Ye Beichen was wearing a floral apron and had obviously just come out of the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to eat something together?" Ye Beichen looked up and greeted her with a smile.
Tang Yixin blinked at her awkwardly with her mouth full of food.
Just as Li Susu was about to step in, she felt something suddenly tighten around her waist and was lifted into the air.
Bo Junyi had caught up with her at some point, and with a long arm he took her away from the scene, closing the door with a "click".
"Why does Ye Beichen live opposite Xinxin?" Li Susu asked while struggling.
Bo Junyi hugged her tighter, and kept walking: "He bought this place."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, they are all adults now, they know what they are doing."
Li Susu gradually calmed down and muttered softly: "Alas, I just don't want her to be involved with Ye Beichen. I feel that he is not worthy of Xinxin."
Bo Junyi's lips curled up into a smile: "Then what kind of person do you think is worthy of your precious best friend?"
"Just like you." Li Susu looked up at him and smiled sweetly.
Bo Junyi raised his eyebrows, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, "This standard is a bit difficult for me."
Li Susu's eyebrows curved: "I think so too."
In the evening, Bo Junyi wanted to spend some time alone with Li Susu, but Wen Nianshu kept calling him to urge him to go back, so he had to reluctantly take Li Susu to the old house.
Bo Siyu brought Mianmian back, and the old house was especially lively because of the presence of the children.
In the living room, Bo Siyu was playing with toys with Mianmian. When she heard the voices outside, the little girl's black eyes lit up instantly.
"Uncle and aunt are here!" Mianmian jumped out of the living room to greet them.
From then on, he followed Li Susu and Bo Junyi like a little tail.
It was soon dinner time.
As soon as the steaming dishes were placed on the mahogany dining table, the servant came over to report: "Young Master Qin is here."
Bo Siyu's hand holding the soup spoon suddenly tightened, her eyebrows twitching, and Mianmian had already swept through the crowd like a gust of wind and threw herself accurately into the arms of Qin Zhao who had just walked into the living room.
"Uncle, you're finally here. Mom and I have been waiting anxiously!"
Everyone looked over there. Qin Zhao greeted everyone with grace and grace, but Bo Siyu blushed because of what her daughter said.
She forced a smile and explained, "The kids were just joking."
But Mianmian insisted on ruining the show, "Mom, you're lying! I clearly heard you calling Qin Zhao your boyfriend when I was sleeping! Why are you suddenly denying your debt again?"
Before she finished speaking, Bo Siyu's ears felt burning and she wished she could cover her daughter's chattering mouth immediately.
Unexpectedly, Mianmian became more and more excited as she spoke, her sparkling eyes full of longing: "Mom, Uncle Qin Zhao is young and handsome. If my grandparents knew that you two were together, they would definitely be very happy."
"Mianmian, stop talking nonsense!" Bo Siyu's scolding was soft and had no deterrent power at all, but Qin Zhao opposite her raised the corner of his mouth with an imperceptible arc.
In the ambiguous atmosphere, Bo Siyu suddenly put down the spoon, cleared her throat, and explained seriously.
"Qin Zhao and I are just an employer-employee relationship. I paid three million to rent him as my boyfriend for six months."
Wen Nianshu's hand holding the chopsticks was suspended in mid-air, and Bo Mingxiu also looked shocked.
The two elders really liked Qin Zhao, and their hearts were originally sweet, but now they felt like they were poured with a basin of cold water, feeling cold from head to toe.
Bo Junyi had a speechless expression.
"Sister, how old are you? Why are you playing this kind of house game? Why not just find a partner and get married?"
Bo Siyu sneered, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the wall of the cup: "How can it be so easy for a middle-aged woman like me with a burden to bear to marry?"
As soon as the words fell, Mianmian beside him suddenly clenched the corner of her clothes, tears welling in her eyes: "If mom thinks I'm a burden, I can live with my uncle and aunt..."
Bo Siyu snapped back to her senses. Before she could say anything to make amends, Qin Zhao had already squatted down and gently wiped away Mianmian's tears with her slender fingers: "Mianmian, Mommy is just teasing you. Uncle not only wants to marry Mommy, but also wants to see Mianmian grow up."
His tone was so natural as if he was stating an established fact, but his eyes were fixed on the red tips of Bo Siyu's ears.
Wen Nianshu's eyes showed fine lines as she smiled, Bo Mingxiu glanced at Qin Zhao meaningfully, but Bo Junyi sneered and stared at Qin Zhao.
"She can't possibly marry you!"
Qin Zhao looked over with a guilty conscience.
After being good brothers for so many years, it is really hard to accept that he suddenly starts to care about someone else's sister.
In his opinion, Bo Junyi's current reaction is good.
"She had long planned to do IVF and remain single. She had no plans to get married!"
Before Bo Junyi finished speaking, Qin Zhao suddenly chuckled.
"Test tubes are quite painful." He raised his eyes and met Bo Siyu's panicked gaze. "I actually like children too. How about considering me, sister?"
