Chapter 277: Breakfast Delivery Man 9 (Updated)
Outside the door, Xi Jiu was wearing a black coat, and the cold wind of late autumn was blowing.
The moment he saw the little girl, a soft light flowed in the depths of his slightly cold eyes.
Ruan Qi stared at him blankly, her heart starting to beat uncontrollably again.
Xi Jiu looked at her with messy hair and curled his thin lips.
"I bought breakfast." He lifted the plastic bag in his hand. "Steamed buns from Zhou Ji's."
“…” The little girl swallowed.
Zhouji’s meat buns are super delicious!
There are just too many people buying buns every day, and the quantity is limited, so you may not be able to buy one.
Xi Jiu looked at her, her eyes almost glued to the plastic bag, and breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Fortunately, the little girl didn't reject him.
"Sister, who are you talking to?"
Nie Heng came out after not seeing Ruan Qi enter the room for a long time.
He walked to the entrance in confusion, and when he saw the man standing outside the door, he was so scared that he almost threw away the apron in his hand.
"Master Xi, Master Xi?! Why are you here?!"
"Mr. Nie," Xi Jiu nodded politely and pushed the plastic bag forward, "I'm here to bring you breakfast."
"Zhou Ji's steamed buns?!" Nie Heng couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the logo on the plastic bag. "I went there at this time last time and waited in line for forty minutes before I could buy one! Master Xi, you're amazing!"
Ruan Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
She only knew that many people bought Zhou Ji's buns, but she had never bought them herself and didn't know she had to wait in line for such a long time.
That Mr. Xi...
Only then did the little girl realize that the outer layer of the man's coat seemed a little wet.
It had just fogged in the early morning, and this kind of humidity would only appear on clothes if you stayed outside for a long time.
Xi Jiu personally queued up to buy the buns.
The little girl felt a little complicated.
The Xi family head, who could easily dispatch dozens of people with a single wave of his hand, instead went out on his own to queue up for steamed buns. He didn't even say a word after buying them. If Nie Heng hadn't mentioned it, she might never have known he'd personally bought them.
Ruan Qi bit her lower lip lightly, turned sideways and opened the door.
"Mr. Xi, come in." she whispered.
Xi Jiu, who was standing outside the door, didn't expect the little girl to actually let him in. He was a little surprised, and a little ecstatic.
Nie Heng, who was standing by, glanced at the two of them and frowned in confusion.
Why does the atmosphere between these two people feel different from before?
Why is Senior Sister’s face so red?
What's with Mr. Xi's satisfied expression?
Under the puzzled look of the puppy, the little girl, wearing her little rabbit slippers, led the man into the house.
"Senior Sister, I'll go put the buns on the plate."
Nie Heng carried the buns into the kitchen, leaving only Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu in the living room.
The little girl started to get nervous again.
She secretly glanced at the man's damp coat, tugged at his sleeves in confusion, and stammered, "Would you, would you like to take off your coat?"
Xi Jiu said "hmm" happily and took off his coat.
Ruan Qi reached out to take it, but the man gently pushed her hand away.
"The clothes are cold, I'll hang them up myself."
The little girl said "Oh" and followed him uncontrollably as she watched him walk towards the clothes rack.
As a result, after Xi Jiu hung up the clothes, he turned around and almost knocked her down.
"careful!"
Xi Jiu's expression changed slightly. He stretched out his long arms, put them around her waist, and pulled the little girl towards him.
At this moment, the entrance door opened with a click.
Ruan Munan came in after a morning run and saw this scene.
…
The atmosphere at the table was a little weird.
Ruan Qi sat at the table, her head lowered, almost buried in her rice bowl. In her hand was a steamed bun, its white skin a stark contrast to her red cheeks and ears.
On her left, Ruan Munan had a smile on his face, but the veins on his forehead were bulging.
He held the chopsticks elegantly, and with a flick of his wrist, the chopsticks stabbed into the buns bought by Xi Jiu quickly, accurately and fiercely, as if poking someone's eyeballs.
Xi Jiu, who was sitting on the right side of the little girl, felt calm and even a little happy when he saw this scene.
He glanced at the little girl's earlobe, which was red and about to bleed, curled his lips, and reached out to gently rub her head.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
The little girl's face suddenly turned red, and even the base of her neck turned pink.
Ruan Munan glanced at her and his breath became even heavier.
Nie Heng, who was standing by, was so frightened that he could hardly hold the bowl.
He trembled as he picked up two buns and said, "Um...you guys chat, I'll go to the living room to check on Da Hui and Xiao Hui."
After saying that, he ran away as if escaping.
Ruan Qi and two others were the only ones left in the restaurant.
The little girl lowered her head, and the two men's gazes flashed like lightning above her head.
Barley Baby, who was about to come over to recharge, saw this scene: "..."
Never mind, 1% of the battery can barely last for a while.
…
After breakfast, Shen Wenqian came to pick up Ruan Qi to shoot a commercial.
Seeing that the little girl was about to leave, Xi Jiu naturally would not keep her any longer.
He put on his coat, waited for Ruan Qi to change her clothes, and then went out with her.
When the little girl saw him following out, she hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped.
"Mr. Xi..." She called him softly.
Xi Jiu: “Hmm?”
The man's voice was cold but gentle, and it made the little girl blush even more.
She bit her lower lip and started to pull at her sleeves nervously again.
"Um..." She lowered her head, "Thank you, thank you for breakfast. I, I..."
The little girl hesitated for a long time. She had something to say but was too nervous to speak it out.
At this moment, a big hand fell on her head and rubbed it gently twice.
"Xiao Qi," Xi Jiu said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to reply. I have enough patience to wait for you."
"No, no..." The little girl frowned anxiously, but was a little nervous.
She stamped her foot and angrily said "Hey!" Then she grabbed his hand and put a small pill in it.
"Mr. Xi, don't wait in line to buy buns next time. It's easy to catch a cold in winter, so remember to take this medicine."
After saying that, the little girl turned into a frightened little rabbit again and ran away.
Xi Jiu looked at her back, the man who remained calm even in the face of artillery fire, and was stunned for a full minute.
Until Shen Wenqian's car disappeared from sight, he slowly lowered his head, looked at the small pill in his palm, and let out a low and happy laugh.
——*——*——
Today I'm going to shoot a milk commercial.
"You've been recovering from your injury for several days and haven't posted on Weibo. Post a selfie when you have time." Shen Wenqian instructed while driving. "Also, the crew of 'Fairy Love' will start filming on the 14th. You still have five days of free time. Make good use of it."
Ruan Qi rested her hand on her chin and hummed absentmindedly.
Shen Wenqian glanced at her.
"Ruan Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you? Is your head hurting again?"
