"Xianbai, you're here~"
The girl was not wearing shoes, and her fair, delicate feet were bare on the wooden floor.
Ji Xianbai's frown never relaxed. He bent down to pick up his slippers, walked to Qiao Yu's side, and squatted down to help her put them on.
"Little cat, and a little cat who loves to drink."
Her seaweed-like hair was a little messy but not sloppy, and with the tears on her face that had not yet dried, she looked extremely distressed.
Ji Xianbai has no good feelings towards female alcoholics.
But the woman in front of him made him feel distressed again and again:
"This isn't wine, it's a magical amnesia drug. Xianbai, do you want some too?"
Qiao Yu handed the bottle of wine over, but her hand hung in the air with no one taking it. She was just teasing Ji Xianbai and didn't expect him to say anything.
This time she wasn't as drunk as last time.
Just when he was about to take it back to drink himself, Ji Xianbai snatched the bottle and drank the rest of it.
The alcohol content of this wine was quite high, and even if Ji Xianbai drank it all in one gulp, he still found it a bit overwhelming, and soon his ears turned slightly red.
Seeing this, the girl smiled happily, like a night-blooming cereus that disappeared in an instant:
"What a great guy, come on, let me open another one..."
"Okay, stop drinking. Drinking too much is bad for your health. Just be good, okay?"
Ji Xianbai was afraid that his advice would be useless, so he took out the gift he had prepared earlier and handed it to Qiao Yu:
"Isn't today your birthday? I was watching the pre-sale of this necklace and really liked it. It's not on the market yet, so I asked a friend to buy it for me in advance."
Qiao Yu did say that she wanted this necklace, and it wasn't just a casual remark.
But all the products of M House will be sent to Lin House for her to see before the new products are launched on the market, so Qiao Yu received them a week in advance.
However, she still pretended to be stunned. She didn't expect Ji Xianbai to take her words to heart.
"Birthday... I don't deserve a birthday at all. No, I don't deserve to live. If I wasn't the one who died in the car accident that day, how could Dad be deceived by others..."
"Xiao Yu..."
Qiao Yu was a little crazy, which scared Ji Xianbai. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
That was an experience when he was not with Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu lay on her knees and sobbed softly, her thin body looking extremely frail.
Ji Xianbai gently embraced Qiao Yu and patted her back as if to coax a child:
"I think Auntie has never regretted choosing to protect you. Auntie must also feel very sorry for you now. She certainly doesn't want to see you depressed."
"Thank you Xianbai..."
I don’t know if he was tired of crying, but Xian Bai heard steady and soft breathing in his arms. He looked down and saw that the person in his arms had fallen asleep.
He carefully picked up Qiao Yu and placed her horizontally on the sofa. The sofa was large enough for both of them to lie down.
Then he covered Qiao Yu with a blanket, found a towel, dipped it in water, and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
He tidied the room simply and placed the gift on the table. Looking at the girl's sleeping face, his eyes softened as if a piece of his heart was being rubbed.
He thought he knew Qiao Yu very well, but in fact, there were too many things he didn't understand or care about enough.
Ji Xianbai thought that what happened half a year ago should have eased, but the reality was that the girl quietly buried her wounds, hiding her vulnerable side from others.
Ji Xianbai decided to check Qiao Yu's information. Even if it was disrespectful to her, he didn't want Qiao Yu to hide and cry alone.
The sleeping girl looked more like an angel. He leaned over and placed his thin lips on Qiao Yu's plump forehead, whispering softly:
"Goodnight, my girl."
As soon as the door closed, the pair of pearls in Qiao Yu's black eyes shone brightly. He propped himself up on the sofa and sat up, looking at the note and gift on the table:
From now on, you will not be allowed to hide alone anymore. Happy birthday.
The beautiful font and warm words made Qiao Yu couldn't help but sneer. Ji Xianbai saw that she was always the side of him that he liked to see.
It would be so interesting if he knew the true appearance of his so-called 'close female friend'.
The phone dinged, and Qiao Yu thought it was Ji Xianbai sending something again, but unexpectedly it was from Uncle Lu?
Lu Jinshu: Are you asleep? If not, come with me to a place.
Qiao Yu walked to the window and saw Lu Jinshu's car downstairs through the binoculars on the balcony. He slowly typed on the screen of his mobile phone: No problem.
She didn't ask where they were going, and she readily agreed, which undoubtedly pleased Lu Jinshu. The feeling of being completely trusted was not bad.
It was more than half an hour later that Qiao Yu came out of the gate. She was only wearing a beige V-neck sweater dress, and her beautiful collarbone could be vaguely seen. Her long legs were glowing white.
In the past, Lu Jinshu might have been pleased and even given Qiao Yu some points, but now the only thought in his mind was to wrap Qiao Yu like a mummy.
Lu Jinshu said viciously:
"You made me wait downstairs for half a day and you're wearing this?"
Qiao Yu didn't understand what he meant and thought that he was not dressed well. He looked at her and said:
“It’s pretty good…”
Receiving the gaze that had been fixed on her legs, Qiao Yu stood on tiptoe and hilariously put her arms around Lu Jinshu's neck:
"Uncle Lu, do you dislike my legs... or do you dislike me showing my legs?"
Qiao Yu's words were extremely ambiguous. If Lu Jinshu didn't have something else to do later, he would definitely have done it to her in the car right now.
Perhaps it was because Qiao Yu was too close, the smell of alcohol on her body had not yet completely dissipated, and her brows were furrowed even tighter:
"Drinking?"
Qiao Yu didn't answer him. Instead, as if to divert his attention, she kissed Lu Jinshu's cheek in a flattering manner:
