Li Bu Huo asked Chen Yiting a few probing questions, but her answers didn't sound like she was lying. Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her, Li Bu Huo left the top floor. He also had work to do in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so he had to go back to the branch office to work overtime.
As soon as I got into the car after leaving the hotel, the rearview mirror reflected the crowds coming in and out of the hotel entrance.
Suddenly, Li Bu Huo saw a tall, thin figure.
The boy, carrying a black bag, got into the taxi behind Li Bu Huo's car with his back to him.
That's not...
Li Bu Huo leaned out of the car window to look, only to see that the taxi had already driven away.
The image of the boy's profile, wearing glasses, flashed through his mind.
Wasn't that boy Shi Youxi's classmate, Guan Yi's son Guan Shiyan? What's he doing in Shenzhen and Hong Kong?
...
It takes two hours to fly from Shenzhen and Hong Kong to Beijing. As soon as the plane landed on the tarmac, Shi Youxi called. It was as if he was timing it perfectly, calling Mu Yiran repeatedly as soon as the plane arrived.
"Sister, come out. I'm at Exit 7."
Are you at the airport?
"Yes! Come out quickly, sister."
"....."
Mu Yiran thought that Shi Youxi would definitely not listen to her and wait for her at home, but she didn't expect that the boy would come over directly.
Mu Yiran had no choice but to walk towards Gate 7. She and Ai Ni had just stepped out of the automatic door when Guan Shiyan came out of the waiting area.
"Hey, I skipped class and traveled thousands of miles to bring warmth to your sister for you. You have to come and pick me up, right?"
"I'm busy."
Guan Shiyan angrily retorted, "What the hell could you possibly have that's more important than picking me up?!"
"Yes, I need to pick up my sister."
"........"
Guan Shiyan was truly exasperated with this bastard. He gritted his teeth and said, "What's the difference! I'm at the same airport too!"
Guan Shiyan didn't know why Shi Youxi was being so secretive, not wanting Cheng Ran to know that they both knew about Cheng Ran's coma.
Is this some kind of new type of erotic device?
So he was part of the scheme between Shi Youxi and Cheng Ran!
tui!
"I made a phone call for you, shouldn't you take me home now?"
"Now you turn around and go pick up another woman, leaving me here, Shi Youxi, you scumbag!"
The boy stood at Exit 2 and roared, while an uncle smoking next to a trash can glanced at him.
He likes men. He was on the same flight as Guan Shiyan and was captivated by the boy's handsome and gentle face the whole way. Now that he had witnessed Guan Shiyan being cheated on, he was secretly pleased. He clicked his tongue and raised his chin at Guan Shiyan, "Little brother, don't date a scumbag. Do you want your big brother to give you a ride?"
Guan Shiyan turned around and glanced at him when he heard the sound. The uncle gasped when he saw that glance. Guan Shiyan hung up the phone and walked towards him.
The middle-aged man's lips curled up, and he was about to put his arm around the other man's shoulder when Guan Shiyan turned around and got into a minivan behind him.
This was what Shi Youxi called him after she had a change of heart.
Just kidding, how could a prince from an official family not even have a car to pick him up from the airport? He just wanted to go crazy with Shi Youxi.
Guan Shiyan got into the car and coldly said to the man outside who raised an eyebrow through the car door, "I just love scumbags, I adore scumbags, I can't live without scumbags!"
Guan Shiyan, aloof and cold, said: "You're too normal. I don't like you. Goodbye."
"........"
Damn... these days, anything normal is considered wrong?!
The middle-aged man was so shocked that he bit off the end of his cigarette. Before he could say anything, the black minivan sped away.
Meanwhile, Shi Youxi, the scumbag who was madly in love with Guan Shiyan, stood outside the car. When he saw the woman in the fitted coat, he walked up to her in a few steps. The woman with the tattooed arm in the driver's seat felt extremely awkward when she saw him eagerly approaching Cheng Ran.
He pursed his lips, growing increasingly unhappy as he watched the two of them behave, feeling as if his own cabbage had been stolen.
If it weren't for the young master insisting on picking him up from the airport, the tattooed man wouldn't have acted as the driver. He waited in the parking lot all night, still unable to understand why Cheng Ran was worth the young master's efforts.
Tsk, the young master's attitude towards Cheng Ran is really strange.
Could it be that the young master actually started treating Cheng Ran like his own mother just because he argued with his wife...?
As soon as Mu Yiran got into the car, she met the resentful gaze of the tattooed man in the rearview mirror.
"?"
"Long time no see, Brother Arm."
"....."
But she calls me brother!
"Ahem, it's been a long time, Miss Cheng."
Mu Yiran smiled and was about to say something when the partition in the middle rose up, separating the tattooed woman and Ai Ni in front of her.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Youxi turned to look at her without saying a word. The car lights were on, shining on the woman's face, and Shi Youxi could see even the fine hairs on her face clearly.
The boy's gaze swept over her face inch by inch, finally stopping at her chin. As if burned by fire, Mu Yiran licked her dry lips uncomfortably.
Shi Youxi's narrow phoenix eyes darkened instantly. He lowered his head and leaned closer, only to have his face pinched by Mu Yiran the next second.
"Has your hair grown long? Your bangs are covering your eyes. How can you study like that?"
Shi Youxi relaxed his neck and rested his head on her hand. "I'll cut it off tomorrow."
Mu Yiran pushed his face away and picked out some snacks from the small refrigerator. There were some soft and chewy snacks that Uncle Lin had put in. She ate them and said, "Do you have some secret to tell me? You even put a shelf on it."
Shi Youxi snatched the snacks from her hand, tore open the packaging, and handed them over. "Sister, you haven't seen me for so many days. Don't you miss me? Don't you want to talk to me more?"
"It's only been a few days. What will you do when you go to college?"
Shi Youxi frowned. "Of course, my sister has to come with me."
Mu Yiran laughed, "Who brings their parents to college? How can you be independent like this? Besides, my contract with your father is only for a few months. I won't have the right to follow you after that, and I have my own things to do..."
“Then let’s change our identity,” Shi Youxi said, looking directly into her eyes.
"Sister, I know you don't like working, and you don't need to work. I'll support you."
"......."
Mu Yiran didn't reply. She had already planned to find an opportunity to talk to Shi Youxi and say goodbye properly after he got into university.
Perhaps when she can buy that kind of medicine herself and wear it back occasionally, or maybe they will meet again in 2023.
But given Shi Youxi's current situation, she couldn't say anything.
"You don't need to worry about whether I need to work or not. Your most important thing right now is to focus on your studies. We can talk about other things after the exams."
Shi Youxi was unhappy with her changing the subject, but Shi Youxi had already made up her mind. Her father had said before that if he passed the Lu Keli exam, half of Liguo's industries would be given to him. The Cheng family also had companies in Liguo. At that time, as long as she used some means, she could get Cheng Ran transferred abroad.
Maybe his sister thinks he can't do it, but he will. When he gets his acceptance letter in August, he will tell his sister the surprise on his birthday.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about these things anymore, Shi Youxi lowered his eyes and took the woman's hand that was resting on her lap.
"So, sister, you still haven't told me, do you miss me?"
"......"
Well, the topic has come full circle. As expected, they keep pressing for an answer they don't want. Mu Yiran said helplessly, "Let me think about it."
Looking at the satisfied expression on the boy's face, Mu Yiran's thoughts shifted. "But you, you said you'd video chat every day, why didn't you call for a few days? Have you been under more academic pressure lately?"
"..."
Shi Youxi stroked the back of her hand, lowered his eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, lifted her hand and rubbed it against his head, smiling gently, "Because I know that you have to do your own thing, so I won't disturb you."
"........"
Mu Yiran stared into his eyes, unable to tell whether she was nervous or relieved, but she was now certain that Shi Youxi knew she was not Cheng Ran and that he knew she was the maid from five years ago.
As for what else he knows... Mu Yiran won't ask now, nor does she intend to say.
Maintaining the status quo is fine.
A slight smile played on her lips. "Our young master is so sensible? Then why did he get beaten up today, and several times at that?"
"Because I couldn't help it."
"I miss my sister so much."
Shi Youxi chuckled and held her palm, then bent down and lay down, resting her head on Mu Yiran's lap.
Mu Yiran raised her leg to nudge his head, "What are you doing? Get up..."
"I'm so tired, sister, let me lie down for a while."
"..." Mu Yiran stiffened. From her angle, Shi Youxi's eyes had faint dark circles, or perhaps they were projections.
but...
"Go to sleep, I'll wake you when we get there."
Shi Youxi rubbed his nose against her leg, surrounded by her scent. He buried his face in the woman's soft belly, and after not sleeping for three days, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
