Eric took out the new newspaper from the mailbox, took the fresh milk he ordered, and took the elevator upstairs.

He has a habit, especially after Qiao Xihe leaves Pei Tingyuan, he will give Qiao Xihe a cursory look at all the newspapers and magazines he will see first, and eliminate the things that will make her change her determination to leave Pei Tingyuan.

So, habitually looking at it like this, he soon discovered the problem.

"How can this be......" His eyes were deep, and after stepping out of the elevator, he threw the newspaper into the trash can in the stairwell.

But he understands that even if he loses the newspaper, there will be overwhelming reports on the Internet, and he will definitely let Qiao Xihe know about it.

He took out the key, gently opened the security door, did not enter, and then peeked through the crack in the door first.

Aunt Du had her back to him, busy in the kitchen, and Qiao Xihe was not in the living room dining room.

He crept in and carefully closed the door, the slight movement did not attract Aunt Du's attention at all. She hummed Cantonese opera softly and cut her own side dishes briskly and neatly.

Eric walked over to the TV, glanced at the second bedroom, then leaned down, unplugged the network cable, and after doing a little trick on the line, he came to the bedroom door as if nothing had happened.

"Xihe, it's time for breakfast. He knocked on the door.

Qiao Xihe answered, and half a minute later, he opened the door and said "good morning" to Eric.

Then, the two came to the restaurant together, and Aunt Du served breakfast.

Qiao Xihe looked left and right and asked, "Where is today's newspaper?"

Eric shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't send it, I saw it, the mailbox is empty, I asked the administrator, it was said that the newspaper delivery came, maybe someone played a prank and took our newspaper." ”

"Oh, okay. Qiao Xihe didn't pay attention to it and unlocked the lock screen of his phone.

Eric knows that the frequency of Qiao Xihe's use of mobile phones has greatly increased in the past two days, and recalling the time in the nursing home, mobile phones are like an ornament for Qiao Xihe.

"Xihe, what are you looking at?" he asked knowingly.

Qiao Xihe said: "Just take a look...... Why can't the web page open? No...... I can't connect to the wireless at all, Eric, is there something wrong with the internet at home?"

Eric said, "I'll take a look." He pretended to check it around, and then said with a distressed face: "I don't see any problems, I unplugged the network cable, restarted the router, and everything is done, you see, can I go online?"

Qiao Xihe tried it and shook his head, "It still doesn't work." ”

"It seems that the only way to call someone from the broadband company is to check the repairs. Eric said helplessly.

"That's all there is to it. Qiao Xihe planned to switch to traffic to surf the Internet, but ...... The phone actually stopped.

Eric said: "If I pass by the business hall on my way to work, I will charge you up the phone bill." ”

"That's all there is to it. Qiao Xihe smiled, older people like Aunt Du, as well as people like Eric who had just returned to China, were not very good at paying with online banking, so they could only go to the business hall to recharge.

Eric shoved the hot porridge in front of her, "Alright, now let's concentrate on breakfast." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe replied with a smile, picked up chopsticks, and ate the breakfast carefully prepared by Aunt Du, without doubting him.

After breakfast, Eric went out to work and promised Qiao Xihe that he would contact the broadband company and recharge the phone bill, but he didn't do anything, and came to the company as if nothing happened.

He is not afraid that Aunt Du will call to inquire, this kind of thing is too easy to prevaricate.

Now, he must not let Qiao Xihe see those things.

I have to say that Pei Tingyuan is really a person who is good at seizing the opportunity, and announcing Qiao Minglei's news at this time is the easiest for Qiao Xihe to see and save her heart.

"Heh, Pei Tingyuan, things are not as simple as you think, and naturally they won't be as you wish. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the city where the snow had not completely melted, and said with confidence.

Qiao Xihe didn't know the little abacus in Eric's heart at all, since the network couldn't be used and the mobile phone was down, she didn't feel bored, there was a small bookshelf in the living room of Erik's house, which was full of English versions of classic literature.

She took a random copy and looked at it with relish on the couch.

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Eric returned to the door, but instead of immediately taking out the key to open the door, or ringing the doorbell for Aunt Du to open it, he just stood facing the door, his eyes were deep, and he didn't say a word.

The sound of the elevator coming out again meant that a resident of this floor had arrived, so he took out the key and opened the door.

"Eric, are you back?" As soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, Aunt Du turned her head to look.

"Hmm. Eric agreed perfunctorily, and then quickly searched for Qiao Xihe on the sofa.

She was holding an English book, and she was so engrossed that she didn't even notice that he was back.

Aunt Du said, "Eric, sit down and wash your hands, rest for a while, and you can eat in a while." ”

The voice of her voice finally woke up Qiao Xihe, she raised her head and looked around blankly, "It's going to be night? Eric are you back?" I didn't even notice, so I patronized and read. ”

She nodded embarrassedly at Eric, who didn't take this little thing to heart at all, and said, "Looks like you've been reading a book for a day, so let's rest your eyes for a while." ”

"Well, good. Qiao Xihe obediently put down the book and asked, "By the way, has my mobile phone been recharged?"

"Oops," Eric patted the back of his head lightly, "I'm sorry, I forgot about it because I had too much work today......"

Qiao Xihe shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow, your own affairs are the most important." ”

"I'm sorry, Xihe. Eric said, turning on the TV.

He has contacted people and knows that the TV station will not broadcast Qiao Minglei's affairs so quickly, so this point can be shown to Qiao Xihe with confidence for the time being.

"Then watch TV, relieve your boredom, I'll fix these two things. He said.

"Trouble. Qiao Xihe said, "But what, I don't feel bored at all?" There are so many books to read, and some books, although I have read the Chinese translation, but looking at the original English version, I will also find something interesting quickly. ”

Eric pretended to joke and said, "Then I won't contact the broadband company to fix the network for the time being, and charge you the phone bill to prevent you from becoming an Internet addict girl." ”

Qiao Xihe snorted and laughed with his mouth covered.

Eric looked at her smiling face and hooked the corners of his lips.

Look, Pei Tingyuan, you can't take Qiao Xihe away.
