The Round Table and the Twelve Knights (13)



It seemed that Si Jiu was rushing to send the person out with a secret in mind.

It was a five-minute walk at most, but it took me nearly half an hour to send her there, and then I saw her come in with a dejected look on her face.

The few men still waiting in the living room suddenly felt a little anxious.

As soon as Si Jiu entered, he caught the gazes of several people and felt a little guilty for some reason.

Fortunately, they didn't ask her anything, but just asked her to go to bed early. They said good night to each other and then went back to their rooms.

Sijiu was a very generous person. Although she had been nervous and embarrassed many times when interacting with Mr. Shen before, after a while, she put all those emotions behind her. After washing up, she rolled onto the bed, played with her mobile phone for a while, and fell asleep in a short while.

The next morning, I was woken up by the incessant ringing of my cell phone.

Sijiu was really unable to sleep, even though the cell phone was ringing very loudly. It did not have any effect except for making her wrap her head with the quilt and bury herself deeper into the soft mattress.

But the other party was really persistent. Even if no one answered, he called again and again, as if he was determined to call until Sijiu answered the phone.

Si Jiu kicked the quilt in anger, closed his eyes and stretched out a hand to grope around on the bed. After touching his phone, he didn't even look to see who it was. He answered the call first, turned over to sleep on his side, put the phone to his ear, and said with a strong sense of sleepiness and irritability, "Hello?"

"Don't sleep anymore, it's time to work."

The sleepiness disappeared completely at this sentence.

Si Jiu quickly threw back the quilt and sat up, grabbed the phone that had slipped down as she moved, and put it back to her ear. When she spoke, she habitually lowered her voice and glanced around. After confirming that she was in her bedroom and there was no one else, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you calling... No, didn't we agree that I would have a week off?"

"Auntie, can you see how many messages I've sent to your email? What will happen if I don't call? Holidays are worthless when it comes to matters of life and death.

Ah, I won't argue with you any more, just come here quickly, it's urgent."

The other party's voice did sound urgent. Si Jiu put away his casualness and quickly got out of bed while saying, "I'm here at Luyin Yayuan. I can't get to the bureau for a while. If it's so urgent, tell me the mission location and I'll go there directly."

"I know you'll definitely go home during the holidays, so I drove here. It's not far from your house. Just find an excuse to come out."

Sijiu responded, stopped talking nonsense, quickly washed and dressed, then ran downstairs.

It's still early, but as expected, the eldest and second brothers have already gotten up. One of them is sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and the other is drinking coffee. As for Yu, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have gone for a morning run.

They were a little surprised to see Sijiu.

"Xiaojiu, you're up so early." Cheng Ze was stunned for a moment, put down the toast he had taken a bite of and stood up. "I made you some wontons this morning. I'll go make you a bowl right away."

"Ah, thank you, second brother, but no, it's too late..." She rushed over and saw the other half of the toast on Cheng Ze's plate that had not been touched. She grabbed it and put it in her mouth, saying hurriedly, "The magazine suddenly has a very urgent manuscript for me to revise. I have to go there. Ah, don't wait for me to come back for lunch. Dinner... I will call in advance to ask if you want to come back for dinner."

As he spoke, he walked up to Lin Su, lowered his head and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Brother, drink less coffee in the morning. It's not good for your health."

After saying this hurriedly, he ran outside, "Goodbye, big brother and second brother, tell A Yu and A Yuan for me."

"Run slower, I'll drive you."

Lin Su has already stood up.

I'm afraid you'll send me off. Si Jiu said secretly, his pace increased, he put on his shoes in a few seconds and rushed out, "No need, my colleague will pick me up on the way, bye brother..."

Bang

She had slammed the door shut.
