As they walked, Di Chenxiao introduced the surrounding scenery and buildings to Shi Xi, "To the left is the back garden, over there is where Di Wen and the others live, over there is the torture chamber you visited last time, and over there is the back mountain..."
He didn't tell Shi Xi about directions, because people who are directionally challenged can't distinguish directions, they can only distinguish left and right. If he told Shi Xi about directions, she would probably throw a tantrum.
Upon hearing about the back mountain, Shi Xi asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, what's in the back mountain? Are there any ferocious animals like lions or tigers?"
She used to read novels where the male protagonists liked to keep fierce animals as pets. Di Chenxiao had a mountain, and she wondered what kind of creatures he kept on the entire back mountain! Just thinking about it made her excited.
Di Chenxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, we don't keep those animals in the back mountain."
"Ah—, I thought you'd like to keep some animals or something. What's on your back hill?"
"This is where the bodyguards are trained. However, it's only a small part of the training; the vast majority of the bodyguards are trained elsewhere."
Shi Xi: ...
Di Chenxiao had absolutely no guard up, so easily revealing the location of the secret guards' training camp. Wasn't he afraid she would betray him?
"I'll take you to see it." Di Chenxiao took Shi Xi's hand and headed towards the back mountain.
"No, no, no, I'm not going, I don't want to go, I'm not interested," Shi Xi said hurriedly.
Di Chenxiao stopped and looked at Shi Xi. "Where do you want to go?"
"I, I want to go to your study. Is your study very big? I really wanted to go to your study when we video chatted the other day."
"good."
Then, Di Chenxiao took Shi Xi back to the main house, went up to the second floor, and entered the study.
Shi Xi looked at the study before her and indeed saw many books. Rows of bookshelves were filled with books, and a large desk was placed on the right, presumably where Di Chenxiao usually worked. Neatly arranged documents and a computer were on the desk. Two chairs were placed in front of the desk.
Have you read all of these books?
"I've read most of them, and I read some when I have free time."
Di Chenxiao asked Shi Xi to sit in a chair, and he half-squatted beside her.
"Xiao Xiao, why are there two chairs in your study? One is for you, and the other is for someone else?" Logically speaking, there should only be one chair in Di Chenxiao's study, a proper office chair. But the one she's sitting on is a light green recliner, which doesn't seem like Di Chenxiao's style.
"This is yours."
"Mine? You're so confident! Do you think I can't escape your grasp, so you prepared a chair? Waiting for me to come to your study."
Shi Xi believed that Di Chenxiao was certain she would agree to be his girlfriend, which was why she prepared the chair. Little did she know, the chair had been prepared long ago, just waiting for her, the mistress of the house.
"You can feel my sincerity. Sincerity will be reciprocated, and you will agree sooner or later."
"Okay! You really do say sweet nothings whenever you get the chance, making people blush."
Di Chenxiao smiled and ruffled her hair, "Silly girl."
Shi Xi wandered around the study for a while, but finding nothing interesting, she left.
There was a locked door on the second floor. Shi Xi asked, "What's in this room? Why is it locked? Could it be something important? But isn't something important in the study?"
“Some old items, nothing special.” Di Chenxiao lowered his eyes.
"Oh!" Shi Xi saw that Di Chenxiao didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask.
