Zhou Yili was still hesitating whether to hang up the video call just like that, or wait for Dai Shutao to come back and say hello to her before hanging up.
Just as Zhou Yi was hesitating, he heard a woman scream.
"Sister Taozi?"
Zhou Yili immediately stood up and stared at the computer screen nervously, but he didn't see the woman again. He called a few more times, but no one answered. Only then did he realize what was going on and call Dai Shutao.
The phone was in the living room, and the ringing sound could be heard clearly even in the Book of Changes, so there was no reason why the woman couldn't hear it.
Could something really have happened?
Zhou Yili's heart tightened, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He hurriedly dialed another number.
…
Dai Shutao looked expressionlessly at Qin Yinchu, who was smiling brightly across from him. It was New Year's Day, why was he not at home running here? Wasn't he afraid of the shock Qin Guican would bring to him?
Subconsciously looking up at the opposite side, Dai Shutao realized that she had never seen Qin Guican since that day, and she had not even seen the lights on in the villa opposite at night.
It seemed that not only was he avoiding Qin Guican, but the other party was also subconsciously keeping a distance from him.
This feeling... is quite strange.
However, the appearance of Qin Yinchu happened to confirm one thing, that is, Qin Guican was very likely not living in this villa during this period. This allowed Qin Yinchu to find an opportunity after squatting for a few days.
"Happy New Year, Taozi! Are you still alone this year? How about we celebrate the New Year together?"
Dai Shutao's mouth twitched. This Qin Yinchu was really good at talking. He knew that her original body was an orphan and had no one to accompany her except herself.
Seeing Qin Yinchu about to walk towards the door, Dai Shutao took a step forward, pushed Qin Yinchu forward, and pulled up his coat.
"I don't want to celebrate the New Year with you. Why are you coming to me instead of going home to your own parents? What's going on?"
"Taozi." Qin Yinchu looked at Dai Shutao with grievance, a little listless. "You also know that I don't like that kind of crowded environment. I want to be with you more than to squeeze with them. Even if it's just to watch the Spring Festival Gala and make dumplings, that's fine!"
Who wants to watch the Spring Festival Gala and make dumplings with him? I plan to sleep for seven days and seven nights!
Dai Shutao frowned and took a look. Qin Yinchu should have made all the preparations. He even brought a suitcase with him. There was even a pile of New Year's goods of all sizes on the ground. He didn't know how the security guard at the door let him bring in all these things.
And the huge lunch box in his hand. After looking at the gold-plated logo on the lunch box, Dai Shutao realized that he was holding a ticket from a very famous local private restaurant.
It is said that the chef of this restaurant has a strange temper and it is difficult to get a meal. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is estimated that the meals cooked by him should be even harder to get. I don’t know what method Qin Yinchu used.
"Taozi, just let me in." Qin Yinchu flicked the dead leaves hanging on his body when he was squatting at the door. "It's so cold outside. I've been waiting here for a long time. I just saw you and others on the video without interrupting you."
"You've disturbed us." Dai Shutao interrupted. This is the disadvantage of the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows. Whatever is happening inside can be seen clearly from outside.
No, she would have to put up an anti-peeping sticker someday, and she didn’t know if the landlord would agree.
"peach."
Qin Yinchu pointed around and said, "Look, they have already started eating. I'm so hungry too. Please let me go in and have a meal first."
Facing Qin Yinchu's repeated entanglement, Dai Shutao was determined and refused to agree. When Qin Yinchu lowered his head, Dai Shutao turned around and walked directly into the door, not forgetting to say: "Go home early, why are you hanging around outside during the New Year's Day?"
Without giving Qin Yinchu a chance to speak, Dai Shutao closed the door directly, glanced at Qin Yinchu who was still wandering around, and simply pulled the curtains.
Without Qin Yinchu's chattering beside her ear, Dai Shutao rubbed her ears and walked to the computer screen, only to find that Zhou Yili had already cut off the video call.
"Really? This kid didn't even wait for me to come back..." After muttering twice, Dai Shutao recalled the lunch box Qin Yinchu had just held in his hand, sighed lightly, stood up resignedly, and looked for the few boxes of instant noodles she had stockpiled before the New Year.
As for the messages from Qin Yinchu begging for mercy that came from time to time on the phone, the general idea was that they asked Dai Shutao to let him in. Dai Shutao would never do such a thing as inviting a wolf into the house.
When she was about to wash the pot after dinner, Dai Shutao suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from the door. Dai Shutao, who was still a little hesitant, could only roll her eyes and walk to the door to see what was going on when she thought of Qin Yinchu's background.
Unexpectedly, when he pushed the door open, he met the eyes of a policeman in uniform.
"Are you... Dai Shutao?"
The police officer called out Dai Shutao's name hesitantly. As for the other police officers, they had already subdued Qin Yinchu.
Dai Shutao was completely confused by the scene before her and nodded blankly, "I am."
Just as he was about to ask Qin Yinchu what he had done wrong, Dai Shutao heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from far away, followed by Zhou Yili's voice full of relief.
"Sister Taozi, it turns out you're okay!"
Seeing Zhou Yili suddenly appear in front of him, Dai Shutao was stunned for a long time.
"Why are you here? And what's going on?"
"It's like this." The police explained the whole story. Dai Shutao looked at the people in front of him, his mind a little confused.
"I'm sorry, it was all a misunderstanding." Dai Shutao hurriedly explained after realizing what was happening. Even Zhou Yili apologized, saying that he was too nervous and accidentally made a fool of himself.
"It's okay, as long as everyone is okay. We were just worried about accidents happening during the New Year. As long as everything is fine, that's all!" The police officer laughed. "In that case, we'd have to trouble you all to go back to the police station with us to take statements."
Dai Shutao naturally had no choice but to go back to the house to get her cell phone, put on a thick coat, and left with them.
Qin Guican, who got the news, drove hurriedly over with a cold face. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw three people coming out of the door.
Qin Yinchu was a little dejected, as was Dai Shutao who was talking to Zhou Yili.
Maybe it was because he hadn't seen a woman for too long, Qin Guican hesitated in his steps. Until Dai Shutao's gaze turned in his direction, he shifted his gaze somewhat embarrassedly, and when he saw Qin Yinchu, he became even more furious.
"You are quite capable."
Qin Yinchu shuddered and saw his brother looking at him with a sinister look on his face, a smile on his face, and he took a step back.
If he said now that everything was a misunderstanding, he wondered if Qin Guican would believe it.
Seeing Qin Guican stand up and wave at him, Qin Yinchu looked at Dai Shutao for help, but found that she was also looking at her brother. He unconsciously clenched his fist and suddenly said, "Taozi, I'm going home with my brother. Remember to take the things left at your door in, don't let the security guard take them away."
