Chapter 502 Return safely
Seeing Fang Li, Xu Fangye's frown immediately relaxed, and he quickly walked over to her: "Where have you been? I called you but you didn't answer, I thought something had happened."
"The phone is on silent."
"What took you so long?" Xu Fangye leaned over to look towards the back alley.
Fang Li raised her hands to cover her ears, then quickly took his hand and pulled him back.
His tone was calm as he said, "I was just walking around after using the restroom and ran into someone I knew. We chatted for a bit."
"An acquaintance? Who?"
Fang Li: "You don't know him. He's a high school classmate I haven't been in touch with for a long time. I almost didn't recognize him."
She avoided Xu Fangye's inquiring gaze and walked sideways to the restaurant, "Didn't we agree to have dinner? If we don't go now, the food will get cold."
Xu Fangye looked at her calm profile and always felt that there was something hidden in her eyes, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow her in silence.
"What else are you eating? The wontons have all turned into noodle soup. I'll order something else if you want to eat later."
"OK."
The two of them went back to the wonton shop. After all, this was the most famous shop in the old street, and the taste was really amazing.
During the meal, Fang Li didn't say much, occasionally picking up some food, and her eyes fell out the window with a barely noticeable sense of emptiness.
Xu Fangye tried to speak several times, but she always changed the subject lightly.
It was not until the two of them walked out of the restaurant that the sharp sound of sirens suddenly came from the back alley, piercing the tranquility of the night.
Xu Fangye subconsciously looked back, and Fang Li also glanced in the direction of the voice. They could vaguely see red and blue police lights flashing alternately in the direction of the alley.
Xu Fangye frowned: "What's going on?"
"Who knows?"
Fang Li only glanced at him once before looking away, her tone normal: "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go home."
Xu Fangye opened his mouth, but finally raised his eyebrows and ignored it.
The two men left the old street, got in the car and drove towards the old house.
When the car was about to reach the old house, Fang Li's phone vibrated.
She clicked on the pushed news, and the headline was eye-catching: "Bad artist Song Yuchen clashed with others in Haicheng Old Street, injured others and was taken away by the police."
In the accompanying picture, Song Yuchen was dragged out by two policemen holding his arms, with his head buried very low. There was a brown stain on his exposed neck, and a scarlet wound at the corner of his eye was particularly eye-catching. His clothes were wrinkled like a piece of waste paper. He was completely different from the man who was plotting a few hours ago.
The video was even more chaotic. Passersby were pointing and talking at him. Someone threw a mineral water bottle at him. Curses mixed with the sound of sirens exploded: "This kind of liar should be arrested!"
"I used to be his fan, how blind I was!"
Fang Li's fingertips paused on the screen, and she turned off the phone a second before Xu Fangye looked at her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just some gossip."
Xu Fangye glanced at her. Although he didn't say anything, the suspicion in his eyes showed that he obviously didn't believe what she said.
But as an older brother, he understands his sister.
There are some things that she can't get if she doesn't want to ask.
Xu Fangye didn't ask any more questions and turned back to concentrate on driving up the mountain road.
The car quickly entered the yard of the old house and parked. As Fang Li stepped into the gate of the old house, Wen Yang called.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Yang's voice came over, her tone full of joy: "Lizi! Have you seen the news? Song Yuchen was arrested! It's so satisfying! He deserves this!"
"I see."
Fang Li walked to the corridor, the evening breeze lifting her hair. "Just watch the show, don't get involved."
"I won't get involved, I just feel relieved!"
Wen Yang chuckled on the other end, "Are you looking for me today..."
"Well, it's done."
Fang Li glanced at Xu Fangye who was standing not far away and interrupted her, her voice lighter, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After sending Fang Li back safely, Xu Fangye sat for less than five minutes before getting up and leaving in a hurry.
Looking at his leaving back, Fang Li suddenly curled her lips meaningfully.
The two of them had lunch outside. It was still early for dinner, so after sitting with Fang Yun and Cheng Xian for a while, Fang Li found an excuse to go upstairs.
Upstairs room.
The sunlight from outside the window filtered through the gauze curtains. Fang Li took out the checkup form from her bag and looked at the words "early pregnancy" on it. The corners of her mouth curved up involuntarily.
I didn’t expect it to be true!
Ever since she lied to her grandfather that she was pregnant, the two of them deliberately did not take any precautions for a while, but there was no reaction in their stomachs.
I didn’t expect that the baby I had been looking forward to would come at this time as the year was coming to an end.
pity......
Fang Li really wanted to tell Han Xi the good news immediately, but when she realized what was happening, her fingertips were already hovering over the dial button, and she was about to press it when she suddenly stopped.
He's probably very busy over there, so why distract him?
As he was hesitating, his phone suddenly lit up and Han Xi's name popped up on the screen.
Fang Li's eyes lit up and she immediately picked up the video call.
But when she saw the person on the screen clearly, the smile on her face froze instantly and her heart skipped a beat.
In the video, Han Xi is wearing a black windbreaker with the collar standing up. A black baseball cap pulled down low covers most of his face, leaving only his taut jaw exposed. The background seems to be in a shaking carriage with dim light.
"What's wrong?"
Han Xi noticed something was wrong with her, and softened his voice, a soothing look in his eyes, "Why are you so pale?"
"nothing."
Fang Li gripped the phone tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, and tried to make her tone sound natural. "It's just... why are you dressed like this? Where are you?"
"Just got in the car."
Han Xi leaned back to avoid the shaking background in the camera. "We're leaving for Mamba tonight. The helicopter is ready. Let's go to the airport now."
He paused, his eyes falling on her face, studying her carefully. "How's it going over there? I saw today's news. Did Song Yuchen cause you any trouble?"
"No."
Fang Li lowered her eyes, hiding the worry in them, and forced a smile, "He's busy taking care of himself, and now he's been taken away by the police. He has no ability to cause trouble for me."
She spoke deliberately in a light-hearted manner, like a bystander watching a play, not caring at all.
"That's good."
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to rub his brow. There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes under the brim of his hat, but he hid it well. "Don't worry about me, it will be done soon. I'll go back to accompany you after I'm done."
Fang Li looked at his deliberately relaxed expression, and felt like something was tugging at her heart.
She knew that what he called "something" would definitely not be simple, but since he didn't say it, she didn't ask.
Just like she was holding the checklist, but she didn't say it out loud in the end.
"Um."
Fang Li couldn't help but sniff, her voice softening. "Be careful, don't be stubborn, eat on time, and..."
She paused, looking at his blurred features on the screen, "You must come back safely."
"good."
Han Xi's voice came through the receiver, with a firm and gentle tone, "When I come back, I have good news to tell you."
Fang Li's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard a vague sound from his side.
