Li Yuzhen woke up from a daze and fell into Akaxilia's smoky purple eyes. There was a deep concern in them, as if there were three thousand weak waters, which was particularly eye-catching: "Miss Akaxilia, I'm sorry. You are a guest, but I asked you to take care of me."
Akashilia shook her head slightly. "Mr. Li, you're too polite. You've done me a favor. Even if I had to go through fire and water for you, I wouldn't hesitate." She paused for a moment, then asked, "Am I speaking the Xia dialect correctly?"
Li Yuzhen slowly stood up. "Ms. Acllia's words are already better than most of our foreign friends, and her vocabulary is also correct. But... forgive my poor memory, I don't know how I have ever done you a favor?"
Akashilia folded her hands on her knees, pursed her lips, and spoke hesitantly: "It seems that for Mr. Li, that is not a memory you are willing to recall, so I dare not say anything more. It doesn't matter if Mr. Li doesn't remember it, as long as I remember it."
The room was silent for a moment. Li Yuzhen held his forehead with his palm and opened his mouth several times before uttering, "Am I very heavy?"
After all, Akashilia looked like an elegant and weak young lady. I don't know how she managed to get me into bed after I passed out.
"Not heavy." Akasiliya smiled and covered her lips. "Mr. Li has a perfect figure, not too fat or too thin."
How did the topic turn to my figure?
Li Yuzhen didn't think about it too much. "Have you eaten dinner yet?" He threw back the quilt and stood up. "Excuse me, Miss Acllia. Since you're here, please stay for dinner before you leave."
Akasiliya also stood up. "How can this be so embarrassing? Mr. Li, there's no need to be so polite."
Li Yuzhen waved his hand. "No matter what happened in the past, now that you are a guest from afar, I should do my best to be a good host." He made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Acllia, please move to the living room and wait a moment. There is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom that it is disrespectful to refuse."
"In that case, I'd better obey your command." Akashilia sat down on the sofa in the living room, her eyes falling on Li Yuzhen's back.
The young man tied his apron skillfully, opened the refrigerator and looked at the remaining ingredients. After a brief thought, he began to process the ingredients.
Akashilia's eyes were always on Li Yuzhen, eager and sincere, but it was a pity that the latter was too dull and didn't notice anything.
"Miss Acllia, are you used to eating Xiaguo food? Can you handle spicy food?"
"I'm fine with anything." Akasiliya held up her face, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. "Mr. Li, you've always lived alone, right?"
"Well, my parents died when I was little." Li Yuzhen's emotions had long since faded as he spoke of this. After all, this was the general trend, and there was nothing to regret. Perhaps in his youthful fervor, he might have dreamed of killing all the star beasts for revenge, but now he couldn't bring himself to say such childish things. At most, he'd just trick the students.
People always have to learn to grow up, don't they?
"I see." Akasilia took a sip of the now-cold water. "Won't you be lonely then?"
"I'm used to it. Besides, having a noisy neighbor these past few years is not bad." Miss Ni Jin didn't mean that she was really noisy, but the two of them always had arguments when they didn't agree with each other, and Miss Ni Jin happened to be happy to talk to him.
Li Yuzhen really doesn't understand women's thoughts.
"Well, it's better to play with someone than alone." Akashilia lowered her eyes to look at the water in the cup, her black nails scratching the wall of the cup, and the words she wanted to blurt out were swallowed back into her stomach.
After the two of them had dinner, Li Yuzhen offered to see Akashilia off, but Akashilia politely declined, took her hat and left, forgetting even to leave her contact information.
After Li Yuzhen watched Akasiliya enter the elevator, he felt that this woman who suddenly appeared was very strange. However, she had no ill intentions at all, so he was slow to notice.
What happened four years ago? Why doesn't he remember it?
When Li Yuzhen thought about this problem, he felt a swelling and pain in his brain and almost fainted again.
Ni Jin stomped her high heels on the ground twice, then said unhappily, "Hey, what are you doing blocking the elevator door?"
Li Yuzhen moved away: "Sorry."
Ni Jin snorted softly, "Can't bear to part with a beautiful woman?"
"Huh? What are you thinking?"
"Then what are you daydreaming about?" Ni Jin sighed and pressed the elevator button. "That's the director and CEO of Angel Group. Don't you recognize him?"
Li Yuzhen raised an eyebrow: "Angel's CEO? Why did she come to see me?"
Ni Jin crossed her arms, raised her eyes slightly, and stared at the ceiling. "Who knows? Maybe they're using you as research material. You better be more careful."
"I'm strong, don't worry."
Ni Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Who can really tell the truth about something like this?"
"She means me no harm."
Ni Jin fell silent and stopped talking.
There was no point for Li Yuzhen to just stand there, so he went back into the house.
When the elevator door opened, Ni Jin frowned at the lone woman in black inside. "Why haven't you left yet?"
Akashilia rested her right hand on the crook of her left arm, holding a perfectly good cigarette between her legs. Her red lips curled up. "Of course, I have something to discuss with Miss Ni, which is why I came back. I never thought Miss Ni and I would be destined to meet. I wonder where Miss Ni is going? Would you be free to sit down and have a cup of coffee with me?"
Ni Jin lifted her red skirt slightly and entered the elevator: "I don't like coffee, let's drink wine."
"Okay, let's drink."
"Any more cigarettes?"
"Do you mind the one in my hand?" Akashilia turned her wrist and handed it to Ni Jin.
Ni Jin looked away calmly: "I do mind."
"Okay." Akashilia took out an opened pack of cigarettes from her chest with her other hand and shook out a half-smoked cigarette. "Please."
The two women each held a cigarette between their fingers, and silence fell in the elevator.
It wasn't until they reached the first floor that Ni Jin spoke, "Let's go." She looked at Akasiliya again, "Fire."
Akashilia personally lit the fire for Ni Jin, and then lit it for herself.
Ni Jin held Akasiliya's wrist, and others might think that the two were close sisters.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching Li Yuzhen?" Ni Jin approached Akasiliya with an ambiguous smile.
"Miss Ni cares so much about Mr. Li that I might have thought you two were a couple?" Akashilia chuckled.
Ni Jin snorted. "As long as you have no ill will towards Li Yuzhen and aren't using his body for experiments, I don't care what you do to him. We're colleagues, and I'm just worried about his health." Ni Jin took a deep breath. "Old Li, he can't take it anymore."
Akaxilia took in Ni Jin's expression. She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a much softer voice, "To use the words of you Xia people, I'm attracted to him."
