Xi Yubai looked over and saw Su Si walking towards him with a smile on her face.
Xi Yubai withdrew his gaze indifferently.
"No, I have dinner with friends tonight."
"Ah... that's a shame. This time, we're having dinner together as fellow lab members to celebrate the completion of our research and development efforts. Brother Xi, are you really not coming?"
Susie didn't seem embarrassed at all about being rejected. She just blinked and looked like she felt very sorry.
"Well, no."
After saying this, Xi Yubai turned and left.
Su Si stood there, looking at Xi Yubai's back with a sad face.
Why does Senior Brother Xi always refuse so quickly?
"Sissi, what are you doing standing here?"
A voice as gentle as jade came from behind.
The man had handsome eyebrows and regular features. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looked very gentle.
Susie turned and looked at the person who came.
"Brother He."
"I asked Senior Brother Xi if he wanted to go to the dinner party tonight."
He Yian glanced in the direction Xi Yubai left and pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.
"Normally, he wouldn't go to a party like this. Don't waste your time calling him next time."
He Yian's voice was light, and if you listened carefully you could hear a hint of disdain in it.
What he hated most were people like Xi Yubai who relied on their abilities to act pretentiously noble.
Susie lowered her head in disappointment: "Okay..."
And the Xi Yubai they were talking about was running towards home at this moment.
It's rare for Yangyang to take the initiative to ask me out.
He had to dress up nicely.
Xi Yubai went straight to the bedroom, pursed his lips, and shyly tried on one outfit after another in front of the full-length mirror.
The capital city is much colder than Yuncheng in November and December, but this is only true outdoors. The temperature indoors is almost always around 30 degrees.
So Xi Yubai was troubled for a long time about his clothes that only looked elegant but lacked warmth.
If I wear these outfits, will my intention to dress up be too obvious?
Xi Yubai pursed his lips, his eyes full of confusion.
Before I could come to a conclusion, there was a knock on the door.
Xi Yubai didn't have time to change his clothes and turned around and walked towards the door.
When the door opened, Zhou Chi's face appeared in sight.
Xi Yubai seemed to know what Zhou Chi came for, and was not surprised. He simply said, "You're here. Any progress?"
"Well, Brother Xiaobai, we found it!" Zhou Chi was very excited when he spoke. If he was not afraid, he would have held Xi Yubai up and spun around in two circles.
Xi Yubai walked to the sofa and sat down, slowly pouring a glass of water for Zhou Chi.
Hearing this, he handed the cup of water to Zhou Chi, his brows moving slightly.
"Li Cheng?"
"Yes! Just yesterday, Li Cheng asked Chen Xin for money again. Our people kept a close eye on Chen Xin and, following the clues, they spotted Li Cheng in Xicheng District!"
Zhou Chi became more and more excited as he spoke. After so many years, they finally found the clue!
That's all! Chen Xin can't escape after all! It's worth it for them to have followed her for so many years!
Xi Yubai nodded: "Well, tell the brothers to keep a close eye on him. Don't let Li Cheng escape, and don't alarm Chen Xin. Close the net slowly."
Zhou Chi nodded. "Of course I know. I've already given the order. Judging from the timeline, I estimate that within three months, Li Cheng's money will be gone, and she'll go to Chen Xin for more. Then, we can catch her off guard!"
Hearing this, Xi Yubai glanced at Zhou Chi indifferently.
Zhou Chi was completely confused.
He chuckled with a cheeky face: "What...what's wrong, Brother Xiaobai?"
Xi Yubai retracted his gaze, his eyes smiling: "I didn't expect you to have such a brain."
Zhou Chi felt relieved.
"After all, I've been with Brother Xiaobai for so long, so of course I have some brains!"
Xi Yubai didn't say anything else. He picked up the clothes on the sofa and prepared to go upstairs.
He hasn't picked out his evening clothes yet.
Zhou Chi looked at Xi Yubai holding the clothes and his eyes suddenly widened.
Following Xi Yubai happily.
"No, Brother Xiaobai, did Susie really take you down?"
Xi Yubai heard these words as soon as he walked up the stairs.
He stopped walking up the stairs, turned around, and looked at Zhou Chi with a frown.
Zhou Chi also subconsciously stopped.
"What's wrong, Brother Xiaobai? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Could it be that you are also impressed by my handsomeness today?"
Zhou Chi had a pair of useless eyebrows, which looked a bit funny on his otherwise handsome face.
"Why do you think so?"
Xi Yubai's voice was light.
"Why?" Zhou Chi asked subconsciously.
"Oh, you mean Susie? Hasn't Susie been chasing you for so long? It's time for the iron tree to bloom."
"Besides..." Zhou Chi looked at the clothes in Xi Yubai's hand ambiguously, "Haven't you already started planning what to wear for dinner tonight?"
Zhou Chi's expression clearly said, "Are you still lying to me? I know everything."
"No, I'm not going to dinner with you tonight."
"You guys go by yourselves, I have something else to do."
Zhou Chi was shocked.
"Oh, okay."
Zhou Chi subconsciously walked outside.
Xi Yubai didn't stop him. When Zhou Chi reached the door, he closed it behind him.
It was not until the sound of the door locking was heard that Zhou Chi reacted.
What Xi Yubai said just now was that they should go by themselves, not that he should get out.
So what is he doing?
Zhou Chi looked down at himself, then at Xi Yubai.
