Chapter 22: The Vain Drama Queen (End) You are not her...
"Who else can hit you?" Yan Mi frowned deeply. This time she looked at Chen Lixu's clothes carefully. There were indeed a lot of dirt and blood on them.
Yan Mi felt a slight pain in his heart, and gently touched the bloodstain with his hand. "Who hit you? I'll avenge you!"
"I have already taught those people a lesson. Your kindness is enough for me." Chen Lixu took Yan Mi's hand, and when he saw the blood on her fingers, he felt uncomfortable.
The bloodstains were not his. He was just hit a few times, but not enough to bleed.
"Please help me see where I'm injured. I need your help in places that I can't reach." Chen Lixu took off his coat and exposed his body.
There were many bruises on Chen Lixu's body. Yan Mi's eyes stung, his nose felt sore, and his voice became hoarse.
"It's okay, just apply some medicine and it will be fine in a day." Chen Lixu was the one who was beaten, but now he has to come back to comfort Yan Mi.
The more Yan Mi thought about it, the sadder she became. "I just can't bear to see you get hurt. You must protect yourself from now on, or I'll take Xiaobao and run away from home, so you'll never find us again."
Chen Lixu's heart softened after hearing this. He laughed and hugged Yan Mi tightly, as if wanting to rub Yan Mi into his own flesh and blood. "I understand. I will definitely protect myself for you."
If something really happened to him, wouldn't Yan Mi be alone?
Thinking about what might happen next, Chen Lixu would never allow such a thing to happen.
"You must do it." Yan Mi snorted, burying her head deeply in Chen Lixu's body. She secretly wiped her tears on Chen Lixu's body.
"I will definitely do it." Chen Lixu also felt Yan Mi's actions, but if Yan Mi did this, he would not let Yan Mi leave again.
Yan Mi was dragged to the bathroom. When she came out, Chen Xiaobao had already been coaxed to sleep. Yan Mi also changed her clothes and was carried out by Chen Lixu.
"I'll be angry if you do this again next time." Yan Mi was not very happy. The bathroom was cold and damp, and it was not comfortable at all.
"I understand." Chen Lixu replied with a smile.
Although he said he knew it, he actually didn't care at all. Yan Mi usually had very high requirements for comfort. Today he was finally able to unlock other places, and Chen Lixu was very happy.
But this only happens once. Maybe there will be another chance after I renovate the bathroom better.
Yan Mi closed his eyes, unwilling to look at the smug smile on Chen Lixu's face.
But she still heard the sound of Chen Lixu laughing, and she was so angry that she pinched the soft part of Chen Lixu's wound.
When Yan Mi heard Chen Lixu's cry of pain, he felt a little relieved.
Chen Lixu looked at the person in his arms and sighed in his heart. This ancestor is really not to be messed with.
"I may be back very late, so you and Xiaobao don't have to wait for me." Chen Lixu carried Yan Mi to the bed. He kissed Yan Mi on the forehead and said to her.
Yan Mi nodded, "I understand. If Xiaobao hadn't wanted to wait for you, I wouldn't have waited for you so late."
This sounded like a sharp tongue, but Chen Lixu would not pay any attention to it. He could still recognize when someone said one thing and meant another.
The next day, Chen Lixu still hadn't returned after ten o'clock in the evening.
Xiaobao was so sleepy that he kept dozing off. "Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
"He needs to make money, so he won't be back until very late. Go to sleep first, and you'll see him tomorrow morning."
Yan Mi took Xiaobao to wash up.
During this period, the family also prepared a lot of children's story books, and Xiaobao always went out to play with other children, so his personality has changed a lot.
In fact, the most important thing is Yan Mi's company. Yan Mi gave Xiaobao enough love, so that he no longer worried about gains and losses and was full of confidence.
"Then I'm going to sleep." Xiaobao rubbed his eyes and could hardly walk steadily.
Yan Mi just found it funny to see him walking with his body tilted. It would be great if he had a camera or something to record the funny things that happened when Xiaobao was a child.
"I'll carry you back to sleep." Yan Mi smiled and wanted to hold Xiaobao.
Before he could touch Xiaobao's body, he took a step back and said, "Mom, I can do it myself. I'm grown up now and I don't need you to hold me."
Yan Mi withdrew his hand and chose to respect Chen Xiaobao's choice, "Then go back to sleep."
After saying good night to each other, the house suddenly became quiet.
Yan Mi took out a book and sat aside to read it with great interest.
Two hours passed by unknowingly.
When Yan Mi heard the door open, he threw the book in his hand away, tilted his head, and pretended to be asleep.
Chen Lixu's eyes were fixed on Yan Mi the moment he entered the room, so he did not miss the sight of Yan Mi throwing away the book and pretending to sleep.
He felt amused, and with a smile on his face, he tiptoed over quietly, pretending that he hadn't noticed her pretending to sleep.
"How come you fell asleep while waiting?" Chen Lixu murmured softly, actually saying it on purpose for Yan Mi to hear.
"It is my great fortune to have such a daughter-in-law." Chen Lixu praised Yan Mi and immediately noticed the corners of Yan Mi's mouth that flashed upwards.
Chen Lixu leaned over to Yan Mi, his hot breath hitting her face, making her feel itchy. She wanted to scratch it but was afraid of exposing herself to sleep, so she tried her best to hold it in.
Yan Mi's palms were lightly covering his eyes, his eyeballs were still rolling. Chen Lixu chuckled and leaned over to kiss Yan Mi on the lips.
He picked up Yan Mi and wanted to take her to bed, but halfway there, Yan Mi woke up. She quickly scratched the itchy part of her face. When she saw Chen Lixu, she was slightly surprised and asked, "Why did you come back just now?"
"Something happened at the company, so I came back late." Chen Lixu explained, and then said to Yan Mi: "If you are sleepy, take a nap first."
When Chen Lixu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Yan Mi was already fast asleep.
"Good night." Chen Lixu whispered in Yan Mi's ear.
As time goes by, the construction of Shanghai is getting better and better, and many people are willing to come to Shanghai to develop.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Chen Xiaobao to go to school. After discussing with Chen Lixu, Yan Mi decided to send Chen Xiaobao to school.
At this time, Chen Xiaobao also had his own name, Chen Xiyan.
Chen Lixu has also been promoted continuously and is now the general manager of the Shanghai branch.
They also bought the house they had previously rented.
Now the house belongs to them alone.
Yan Mi changed all the interior decorations to suit her taste.
Someone came outside the door, and Yan Mi hurried to open it.
The people standing outside the door were Yang Chenyao and Chen Jiajia. They were not used to each other when they first met, and now they still look like enemies.
"Come in quickly, why are you standing outside?" Yan Mi called the two in.
"Your house has just been renovated, so I still want to come and celebrate, but why did you invite this person?" The person Chen Jiajia couldn't stand the most was Yang Chenyao.
It's a bad fate to say the least, so let's not talk about it now.
"Mr. Xiao Yang is Chen Lixu's friend, so we asked him to come over for dinner. There are more guests coming later. You should go and help. Auntie and Chen Lixu are too busy." Yan Mi sat on the sofa, bossing Chen Jiajia around.
"You just sit there all the time, you're so lazy!" Chen Jiajia was really pissed off at Yan Mi. Over the years, she had become visibly older and more haggard because of the experiment, and she had also gained weight. On the other hand, Yan Mi seemed to have just started to grow.
She is obviously younger than Yan Mi!
Now it seems that Yan Mi is younger than her.
"I have my husband who loves me. Who told you not to find a husband?" Yan Mi smiled and ate a piece of fruit, and asked Chen Jiajia to go and help quickly.
Yang Chenyao thought about it and went to the kitchen to help.
But he was kicked out not long after. "Mr. Yang, if you have nothing to do, can you help me pick up Xiaobao from school?"
"No problem, I'll pick up Xiaobao from school."
Yan Mi didn't have to do anything, just wait for others to get busy.
Soon someone came to the door again, this time it was Gu Ouqing.
"Are you home alone?" He looked around the house and there seemed to be no one else.
"They are busy, and I am relatively free. Come in quickly."
Thanks to Yan Mi's help, Gu Ouqing has made rapid progress during this period and has made initial progress. He is even proud of himself in front of his parents.
However, few people knew that Yan Mi was helping him behind the scenes, and they all thought that he had found the breakthrough himself.
Every time he wanted to tell everyone the truth, Yan Mi would shut him up.
This became a secret between him and Yan Mi, and no one knew about it.
Chen Lixu came out of the kitchen and saw Gu Ouqing. He nodded to him with a gentle smile.
After he saved Gu Ouqing before, Gu Ouqing knew that she couldn't compete with him, and completely gave up the idea of Yan Mi.
"Hello, Brother Chen." Gu Ouqing called out to Chen Lixu.
"Don't be so polite, please sit down." Chen Lixu would no longer have any opinions about Gu Ouqing.
Yan Mi watched all this with a smile.
When Yang Chenyao picked up Xiaobao, he also brought other guests.
Yan Mi is very popular in the community, so many people come.
"Mom! I'm home from school." The first thing Chen Xiyan did when she came back was to call Yan Mi.
He shared his interesting stories at school with Yan Mi, and Yan Mi would respond.
With him back, Yan Mi had less things to do, and the task of entertaining guests fell on him, so Yan Mi was completely free.
Chen Jiajia looked at Yan Mi and told Chen Lixu that they had spoiled Yan Mi.
"No, I know she won't." Chen Lixu said.
Chen Jiajia has said this more than once, but Chen Lixu always answered her in the same way, so she didn't want to argue with them anymore.
When the group finished their meal and went back home, Yang Chenyao went with Chen Jiajia, while Gu Ouqing took his little nephew home.
It was not Yan Mi's turn to clean the house. Yan Mi sat aside and watched the father and son clean the house with their aunt.
[System prompt: Mission completed. 1. Stay in the world. 2. Leave the world]
Yan Mi chose 1.
…
In her last days in this world, she had accompanied Chen Lixu for more than 70 years.
Yan Mi and Chen Lixu both sensed something, but tacitly agreed not to discuss the matter.
The two of them enjoyed the last bit of time together.
During the countdown prompted by the system, Yan Mi heard Chen Lixu's words clearly.
[Departure countdown, 10…9…3…2…]
Chen Lixu looked at Yan Mi, who was about to close her eyes while lying on the bed, with eyes full of affection. "I know you are not her. I hope I can meet you again in my next life."
Yan Mi's eyes suddenly widened, but the countdown had already begun.
【1……0……】
In the blink of an eye, Yan Mi was already in the familiar room.
There was a cold mechanical sound in my ears, and this voice was not Tong's father's voice.
[Dear host, congratulations on completing the task. Please make your choice...]
[1. Continue the mission. 2. Rest for two days.]
Yan Mi smiled. It seemed that the system had not discovered the bug yet. She chose to continue the task without hesitation.
