Shi Xi thought she had misheard and tilted her ear to ask, "What did you just say?"
Helian Yi chuckled and repeated what he had just said.
"Are you kidding me? How old are you? You... how old are you? Your family is forcing you to get married. What are they thinking?" She wanted to drink some wine... no, some coffee to calm her nerves.
“In my family, people can get married and have children at the age of eighteen, which is different from the custom here.”
She looked at his baby face and asked, "Are you over eighteen? You seem younger than me."
"I'm older than the young lady."
Having a baby face is great; it makes you look young. Unlike her, she looks old.
"I can't agree to that, not even if it's just an act."
Baby face: "Why?"
“I have a boyfriend who loves me very much. I often cause him trouble and get into trouble, but he has never said anything to me. There is nothing I can do for him. The only thing I can give him in return is my heart.”
Shi Xi thought of Di Chenxiao's face and smiled happily, "If I agree to be your girlfriend, where will I put Di Chenxiao? He's the kind of person who gets jealous easily, and when he's angry, he doesn't show it; he just keeps it inside. I don't want him to be angry about this."
"I feel sorry for him."
"I promised to stay with you for a month, and I won't break my promise. Once I've sorted things out here, I will definitely come to find you."
The lengthy speech was enough to demonstrate Shi Xi's determination to refuse.
Helian Yi lowered his eyes to conceal his emotions, "Since Miss doesn't agree, I won't force her."
"Helian, thank you. Now that you've come to my territory, I'll definitely be a good tour guide and take you sightseeing and to eat. Oh, by the way, do you have a place to stay? Why don't you stay at my house for a few days? My family is very hospitable, and they'll definitely welcome you."
Thirteen:"……"
The young lady is inviting a wolf into the house!
Helian Yi's disappointment at being rejected by Shi Xi quickly turned into joy. "I have nowhere to stay, can I really go to your house, Miss?"
"Of course. Come on, let's skip the coffee and go to my house for a meal. I have plenty of houses; even your bodyguards can stay there."
"They don't need to go, I can go alone and stay with the young lady for a few days."
Thirteen watched as Shi Xi kindly led Helian Yi to the Shi family home, and excitedly introduced Helian Yi to the local attractions.
Is it not a joy to have friends coming from afar?
Shi Xi is always generous to her friends, and it's no problem for them to stay at her house for a few days.
Anyway, she has many spare rooms in her house, and they're just sitting empty anyway, so she might as well let Helian Yi live there!
When Shi Xi returned home, her parents had just come back from outside.
Shi's mother looked at Shi Xi, who was all smiles, with a kind expression. "Little Xi, is this also your friend? He's very cute."
"Mom, Dad, this is Helian Yi, my friend. He came to the capital alone, and I thought we had a spare room at home, so I brought him home."
“Helian Yi, these are my mom and dad. I also have two older brothers. One is at work and hasn’t come back yet, and the other is at school and hasn’t come back yet. I’ll introduce them to you when they come back.”
Helian Yi, looking like a well-behaved child, said, "Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Helian Yi. I'm sorry to bother you in the future."
Looking at the adorable Helian Yi, Shi's mother was overwhelmed with maternal love. She took Helian Yi's hand and led him into the house. "Xiao Yi, you are such a good boy. Make yourself at home and don't be shy. It is my Xiao Xi's honor to have such a lovely friend as you."
Shi Xi: "..."
