Lin Jiu immediately snatched the phone back and said to Huo Shen, "You're being suspicious. It wasn't me who sent you the voice invitation. It was Ye Xiu."
Huo Shen's disdainful voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's him again. He's still using your phone so late. Didn't he tell you to go to bed early?"
Ye Xiu snatched the phone back. "As Xiaojiu's brother, I'm telling you seriously, if you can't take good care of her, I'll find someone else to do it."
"You're really different now. You're talking to me so confidently. It seems I shouldn't have let you go last time at Bincheng Hospital."
"Of course it's different now. Last time, you relied on your large numbers in Bincheng, and I couldn't say anything to you, nor could I force you to leave Xiaojiu. But now it's different. I have the right to decide whether you are worthy of our Xiaojiu."
…
Xicheng, who was standing next to Huo Shen, couldn't stand the two of them bickering with each other, so he quickly yelled at Huo Shen's phone.
"Xiaojiu, please take care of them. Mr. Huo and I just got off the plane after returning from Paris, so we haven't been able to contact you.
Moreover, in order to be able to come back to see you earlier, Mr. Huo has hardly slept these days. He has been dealing with work all the time, and even completed some documents on the plane.
Huo Shao is not what Ye Xiu said. Xiaojiu, you must not blame him wrongly. He is actually..."
Huo Shen pushed Xicheng's head away and said, "When will I call you? Will it be your turn to join in the fun? If you are so free, why not go work in the Middle East?"
Lin Jiu lazily leaned on the chair in front of the laptop, biting her fingers. Although she felt warm in her heart when she heard Xicheng's words, she still pretended to be nonchalant and stood up again to take back her mobile phone.
"Okay, I got it. Stop arguing, both of you. It's getting late. Go to bed early!" Lin Jiu hung up the WeChat voice call and sent three words: "See you tomorrow."
"Xiaojiu..."
"Fourth brother." Ye Xiu wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Lin Jiu, "I'm sleepy. You should go to bed early too. I'm going to sleep."
After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he closed his laptop, turned around and lay down on the big bed, covering himself with the quilt.
"You fell asleep with your coat on... But it's nothing. If you're sleepy, just go to bed early." Ye Xiu turned off the lights for Lin Jiu, placed a box of macarons next to the laptop, which he had prepared for Lin Jiu before coming, and then left the room.
The room fell silent again, with only the chirping of summer insects outside the window.
Lin Jiu looked at the ceiling, not knowing why he was so sleepy before but now he had no desire to sleep at all.
The moonlight shines through the curtains, casting shadows of varying depths on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a sound of branches being stepped on outside the window.
Who is it again? This night is destined to be restless.
Then the window opened and a ball of paper was thrown in, landing on the mottled shadows on the ground.
What era is it now? Still using paper balls to convey information, such a low method.
Lin Jiu guessed it was Ye Yan because he was the most naive.
She didn't want to check the paper ball at all. She tossed and turned in bed for a while, but when she couldn't sleep anymore, she got up and bent down to pick up the paper ball.
[Meet under the camphor tree in the garden]
Sure enough, even the content of the note was so routine, although I had never seen the font before.
Lin Jiu opened the door. The corridor was quiet, with only the shadows of trees swaying.
She didn't want to disturb others, so she didn't leave through the front door, but instead climbed out of the corridor window.
Her movements were very light, but those who were watching her had already noticed her whereabouts.
As soon as Lin Jiu walked into the garden, Ling Jing opened the door and followed Lin Jiu's footsteps.
————
Lin Jiu hid in a corner of the garden. In case the note was a scam, he did not go directly to the camphor tree, but hid beside it and observed.
She walked slowly closer and saw a tall and straight figure standing under the camphor tree.
