Soon after, many people wearing white coats came to the house and carried my mother away.
He waited in the room for his mother to come back, but she never returned.
He saw his nominal father return carrying a black box. The man said that his mother had gone to a faraway place and would never come back.
He cried his heart out, but no one cared about his feelings. Everything seemed to have changed gradually with his mother's disappearance.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in the house, holding a child in her arms. The man told him that this was his younger brother.
Younger brother? Heh...
He finally understood why his mother cried hysterically in her room every day. Haha~
How ridiculous!
He Ji wore a disdainful smile, his thoughts suddenly returning to reality.
Li Baobei: "Manager He, may I treat you to dinner? Thank you for your help last time."
The coldness on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of humanity. He raised his long, slender fingers and said, "Okay."
"Yay! I'm so happy!" Li Baobei jumped off the bed, her joy beyond words.
He continued, "He Ji, do you like hot pot?"
He Ji: "Okay."
Li Baobei: "See you at 8 PM on XXX Pedestrian Street."
He Ji: "Hmm."
She quickly ran to the wardrobe and started picking out clothes. She picked up a white dress, then thought for a moment, "I can't wear white for hot pot, otherwise..."
She recalled the last time she ate hot pot with Lu Yao, because she was wearing a white T-shirt that was covered in oil.
"Let's change to something else~"
Suddenly, I spotted a black zippered knit dress in the corner.
She reached out and picked it up. "This one will do!"
After finishing her makeup, Li Baobei realized it was already 7:40 PM. "I'm going to be late!"
I rushed downstairs and quickly hailed a taxi to head to the pedestrian street.
Stuck in traffic halfway there, Li Baobei felt extremely anxious. Looking at the time, it was already 7:55 PM. "Driver, could you go a little faster?" she cried.
The driver glanced at Li Baobei in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Young lady, don't be so impatient!"
"But I'm going to be late!" she said anxiously.
She thought to herself, "It's all my fault for being so slow at applying makeup. I should have learned how to do makeup properly when I was in school."
The driver noticed her nervousness and continued, "Are you going on a date, young lady?"
"No, it was just having dinner with colleagues." Her eyes dimmed slightly as she turned to look at the scenery outside the window and remained silent.
It was already eight o'clock. She opened the interface and sent a message to He Ji: "Sorry, I might be late."
He Ji, dressed in a casual black trench coat, stood at the entrance of the pedestrian street, looking like a male lead who had stepped out of a TV series. Passersby couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
Wow~ Look how handsome that guy is!
"where?"
"Wow! He's really handsome, I need to get his contact information."
After saying that, the woman left her best friend and walked towards He Ji, stammering, "Handsome, can I... give you my contact information?"
He Ji's face remained expressionless as he replied calmly, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend!"
"ah?"
"Oh, sorry to bother you." After saying that, the woman walked back to her original spot, pulled her best friend along, and jogged away.
He Ji looked at the message Li Baobei had sent on his phone, a faint smile appearing on his face, and replied, "Mm."
