But Fan Xi certainly wouldn't tell the truth. She laughed and said, "I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot about it!"
"What are you busy with?" Zhao Yilu asked.
"I'm very busy. I have to read and study, and make clothes for people. Oh, and I also took a translation job the other day. I was busy finishing the manuscript when you called..." Fan Xi originally wanted to explain how busy he was, and didn't think about anything else.
Reading, studying, making clothes, translating? Zhao Yilu on the other end of the phone was silent.
Every time Guo Bing spends more time with her, he discovers new surprises. How many things does this girl know?!
After a while, Zhao Yilu asked, "Why did you think of reading? Can you translate?"
Fan Xi belatedly realized that he had said too much, and could only quickly make amends, "I'm just looking around. There's no harm in learning more knowledge! I can translate a little bit, but it's just average. I need to look up the dictionary while translating. I'm doing this purely to earn a little extra money!"
"I pay my allowance on the 15th of every month. I'll send it to you then. Don't overwork yourself!"
Zhao Yilu thought that Fan Xi's life was very difficult, so he had to do so many things every day, and he felt a little sad.
"No, no, I'm rich. Director Xie just gave me 500 yuan yesterday! You just went there and your allowance is not much. Keep it for yourself and don't send it to me!" Fan Xi immediately declined.
Zhao Yilu seemed to have sensed something dangerous, and his expression immediately turned cold, but his tone was still gentle. "Director Xie, why did he give you money? How did you know him?"
At this moment, Fan Qi really wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he get nervous when talking to Zhao Yilu on the phone? When he was nervous, his brain stopped working and he blurted out everything!
She took a breath helplessly and could only truthfully recount to Zhao Yilu how she met Director Xie because she reported the loss of money, how she happened to encounter an enemy spy and helped to capture him...
Zhao Yilu listened silently, but in fact, she was already extremely nervous. Thinking that her slender figure would definitely make her unable to fight against the bad guys, she solemnly warned, "Be more careful when you go out next time. If you lose your money, it's lost. You must not confront the bad guys head-on. Also, you are too thin. Eat more meat from now on. Don't save it. You will have more energy to run if you gain weight!"
Fan Xi was amused by Zhao Yilu's words. She burst out laughing, "You're wrong. Generally, thin people run faster. If you eat too much, you won't be able to run anymore!"
Zhao Yilu also realized that there was something wrong with this statement, but he still insisted: "Boss, you should eat more. Good health is the most important thing!"
Fan Xi could sense that Zhao Yilu was caring about her, and her heart warmed. So she stopped arguing and said obediently, "Okay, I understand. Take good care of yourself in the army. If you need to go on a mission, you must protect yourself. Safety is the most important thing!"
…
The two of them chatted back and forth like this, and before they knew it, they had been talking for nearly half an hour.
"...Okay, Comrade Fan, I'll call you next week. Bye!"
"Well, goodbye, Comrade Zhao!"
After hanging up the phone, Fan Xi happily gave Aunt Sun five cents, thinking that it would be better to answer the phone. No matter how long they talked, it would only cost five cents, which was much more cost-effective than making a phone call!
Aunt Sun took it with a smile, "Li Xi, you and your boyfriend have a really good relationship. You have so many topics to talk about. What does he do? Why haven't I seen him come to see you?"
Fan Xi thought that since he would be talking to Zhao Yilu every week from now on, it was okay for Aunt Sun to misunderstand him. He probably wouldn't believe her even if he explained. So he automatically ignored the first half of Aunt Sun's sentence and said, "He's in the army and can't come out casually."
