After all, he was his only relative, and thinking about it made Xu Shi feel quite emotional.
Lost in thought, he lost track of where he had wandered off to, when at that very moment, he heard the melodious sound of a piano.
oh?
Xu Shi came to his senses and noticed that in the room next door, a woman was playing music with great enthusiasm.
With her long, flowing hair, pale yellow floral dress, and perfect figure, the sunlight made her look like a beautiful oil painting.
After recognizing who the other person was, Xu Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Why?
...Isn't this He Yuxia, He Laosan's second sister?
He really didn't expect to run into her in a place like this.
The other person seemed to have noticed his presence. He Yuxia stopped playing, looked him over a few times, and then seemed to recognize who he was. She then quickly came over and opened the window.
"Young Master Xu?"
Miss He said with a smile.
"It's me."
The other party greeted him first, and Xu Shi politely responded, "Miss He is here too?"
“I often come to visit your teacher, your maternal grandfather, Mr. Wen.”
He Yuxia smiled and nodded, "On the contrary, this is the first time I've seen you, Young Master Xu."
Um?
Did my grandfather and she have this kind of relationship?
Xu Shi blinked, recalling that Su Lin had mentioned it to him when he was investigating her before.
Moreover, given her artistic and artistic nature, it's quite reasonable for her to appear here—the 19th ward is known for its rich cultural atmosphere, and "Feather Pen" is no exception.
Not to mention that besides being a skilled fighter, Wen Shengkui was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You could say they were master and disciple, which makes sense.
"I haven't visited my grandfather before."
Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi felt relieved and smiled as he extended his hand politely, "I'd like to trouble Miss He to take care of him for me."
"Young Master Xu is a very busy man."
He Yuxia seemed oblivious, simply covering her face and chuckling, "Even someone like me who's been hiding here has been hearing your name a lot lately."
"...Ms. He, you flatter me."
Xu Shi waved his hand and casually joked, "But isn't using the word 'hide' a bit too strong?"
“I’ve been estranged from my family for a long time. I had no choice but to take a sinecure at the company before.”
He Yuxia shook her head. "But even so, people still come to me and talk about things I don't understand and am not interested in. Even now that we've separated from the family, there are still quite a few people outside asking about my whereabouts."
"Now that you think about it, doesn't Young Master Xu agree that this word was used perfectly?"
"……really."
Xu Shi remained noncommittal, saying that he himself had investigated the other party, let alone others...
"I don't know how many times I have to tell them before they realize I'm no longer a member of 'Shark Tooth'."
Miss He sighed and complained to him as if pouring out her grievances, "Young Master Xu, you and my third brother have a good relationship, he should have mentioned these things to you, right?"
He rarely mentions you to me.
Xu Shi shook his head and told the truth.
"That's why I'm not familiar with them."
He Yuxia was not surprised, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "There is no place for me in that house, but this place is more suitable for me."
That's true. Xu Shi peeked into the room and realized that this might be her bedroom. Not only was there a piano, but there were also various documents on the desk, and a drawing board with an unfinished work standing next to it.
They've completely made this place their home.
The helplessness in the other person's words also gave them a somewhat pitiful feeling.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to find a place that suits you."
This touched Xu Shi somewhat, so he offered a word of comfort.
"Yes, so I'm very satisfied."
He Yuxia smiled and said, "Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Xu."
"Stop calling me Young Master Xu..." Xu Shi twitched the corner of his mouth. Few people would address him like that. It felt like he had wandered into the set of a fantasy drama next door.
However, chatting with her is a very interesting thing in itself. "Shark Tooth" stirred up the waters himself. He just dealt with He Laosan not long ago, and he was also the one who did the boss's things... Now he's standing here chatting with her in a relaxed manner. It's really funny to think about it.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before finally leaving.
Meeting He Yuxia was an accident, but after a conversation, Xu Shi could tell that her previous actions were not a pretense of retreating to advance.
If it's really an act, then her acting skills are too good... After all, even "Evil Entropy Increase" can't detect anything deceptive about her, only her unconcealable disappointment with her family of origin.
It's very natural, and it fits her persona perfectly.
so.
"Keep a close eye on her."
As soon as he got into the car and left, Xu Shi instructed Su Lin, "Report to me immediately about everything, big or small, any situation that arises."
That's just how he is. Just because you're fine doesn't mean he can completely trust you. It's true that He Yuxia is a marginal character in the original story, but who can be sure what she's like outside of their own knowledge? He doesn't even know what her special ability is.
Moreover, to be fair...
Is behaving too normally actually abnormal in a sense?
"This is really turning me into a paranoid person..." He chuckled to himself inwardly.
Forget it, let's just take it as the villain's malicious speculation.
There is no best, but if there is, it's an unexpected bonus, and you can't go wrong no matter how you look at it.
Of course, this was just a minor incident.
