"Buzz ......"

The water was boiling, and when Jian Xiaoqi was about to pour the water, the mobile phone on the edge of the table rang. The strong vibration startled her, and her hand shook, and the boiling water spilled on her hand.

"Ahh

Jian Xiaoqi exclaimed, and almost threw the hot water kettle in his hand. After enduring the huge pain, he reluctantly put the kettle aside and quickly retracted the burned hand.

"Whew, whew—"

A hot burning sensation made Jian Xiaoqi's eyes instantly full of crystals, and began to blow violently on the scalded hands.

It's a pity that this level of wind is a drop in the bucket for this kind of burn on her hand!

After a while, the entire back of Jian Xiaoqi's hand was red and swollen, and it hurt hotly.

"Shhhh

couldn't help it, so she gasped in pain, but she still glanced at the mobile phone that kept flashing, and a tangled flickered in her big eyes.

Si Yan's phone, do you want to answer it?

"Meow, meow......"

The bamboo pole squatted at Jian Xiaoqi's feet, and after hearing her exclaim, the mobile phone kept vibrating on the desktop, looking chaotic.

I don't know why, but the call is even happier.

However, Jian Xiaoqi didn't have time to pay attention to it, and after hesitating for a while, he took his mobile phone to the bathroom while blowing his scalded hand vigorously......

"Whoa......

The faucet turned on, the tap water slipped out, Jian Xiaoqi hurriedly stretched out the scalded hand under the cool water stream and washed it, and picked up the phone with the other hand.

"Hey—"

"Xiao Qi, you're not at home? Why did it take so long to pick up? ”

On the other side of the phone, Si Yan waited for a long time before being connected, and he unconsciously followed suit. After all, this girl really can't let him worry!

As everyone knows, this time he himself is the culprit!

Jian Xiaoqi just felt that the burning sensation in his hand had just receded, but when he heard Si Yan's voice, his eyes stopped on his hand for a moment, and his eyes were slightly red.

But she still endured it, pretending to be casual and said, "Oh, I took something just now, and I didn't hear it." ”

Si Yan didn't hear the grievances in her voice, but instead heard the sound of water that seemed to be nothing, listened intently for a while, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, what are you doing now?" ”

It's okay that he didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, Jian Xiaoqi felt that the back of his hand hurt hotly again.

The injured hand trembled under the water.

Then, she said lightly: "If you don't do anything, you're washing fruit." ”

As she spoke, she shook her hand vigorously under the faucet, making a little noise, as if she were really washing fruit.

Sure enough, Si Yan on the other end believed it, and immediately sketched her appearance at the moment in his brain, and the corners of his lips raised a trace of arc wantonly......

It's just that Jian Xiaoqi didn't pay attention, and the movement in his hand was too big, and as a result, the water droplets splashed out with the action of shaking his hand. happened to be squatting on the bamboo pole on the ground, and if he was not careful, he was thrown all over his body and his head was covered with water droplets......

"Meow-"

The bamboo pole with a confused face almost became a soup cat, and the voice was poignant, as if accusing the owner of the scourge!

Jian Xiaoqi was stunned by the pair of aggrieved cat's eyes, but the call of the bamboo pole broke Si Yan's suspicions. There is a cat meow, it should be unintentional at home!

Si Yan put his mind at ease, listening to the noise on the other end, imagining the scene of a man and a cat facing each other in the kitchen, Si Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and a low lazy laugh poured out of the phone.

"Hehe......"

A low, lazy laugh came, breaking the previous dull breath at once.

There is another very important reason why Si Yan is happy, that is, the matter here is almost over. Because of his sabotage, he successfully forced the remnants of the Chu family to be defeated, and now they are desperate and have begun to do whatever it takes.

It can be said that those people in the Chu family will not be able to jump for long anymore!

So what Si Yan is most concerned about now is how she is doing at home!

Jian Xiaoqi walked out with his burned hand, and as soon as he left the water, the back of his hand became hot again, and there was a feeling of swelling, as if the skin on it was about to be stretched open at any time.

Jian Xiaoqi was taken aback, so he had to go back again and put a little water in the pool. This time, for convenience, she directly put her hand into the pool and soaked......

Much better!

His hand didn't hurt anymore, and Jian Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she could hear the tiredness in Si Yan's voice, as if she hadn't slept a few days ago!

"You ......"

Jian Xiaoqi originally planned to ask the ninja, but by the time she remembered, the words had already blurted out, "Don't sleep so late?" It's tiring to listen to your voice, are you busy these days? ”

She forgot that when it was ten o'clock here, it was only nine o'clock on his side.

How could he have gone to bed so early?

In fact, Jian Xiaoqi also knew that he rarely went to bed early, and the reason why he asked this was just because he was curious: if she asked, would he tell himself what he was doing now?

This thought came up more than once, especially after returning from the Si family today, seeing the attitude of Si Father and Si Grandpa, she was even more curious about what he was doing in T country.

However, to her disappointment, Si Yan didn't say anything.

Si Yan still had that relaxed tone, "Well, it's been a bit busy these days. But you don't have to worry, things are almost settled, I just want to hear your voice, so I called you so late......"

I have to say that even if his voice is haggard, it still sounds seductive.

It's just that if you answer the question like this, is it to avoid her question?

Sure enough, Jian Xiaoqi's eyes instantly dimmed.

"Oh......"

Jian Xiaoqi bit her lip, secretly annoyed that she was not productive, and her voice sounded like she was out of energy.

Si Yan didn't pay attention, according to his previous thinking, he felt that she should at least ask him when he would go back, so that he could tell her by the way.

But after waiting for a while, there was no such question from the other end. On the contrary, today's little wife is uncharacteristically much quieter.

However, he is in a really good mood now, and getting things done means that he can go back to see her, wouldn't it be better to ask her directly about anything at that time?

The mistakes made Jian Xiaoqi misunderstand even more.

Si Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he was eager to share his joy with her, but his tone was still lazy and casual, "Why don't you ask me, when will I go back?" ”

Hearing this, Jian Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then had to ask, "Then, when will you come back?" ”

Such a mechanical repetition, but Si Yan didn't seem to hear it, and smiled happily after Jian Xiaoqi's question, "Soon, the matter here has been almost dealt with, and in three days at most, I can go back!" ”

Three days was enough for him to wipe out the remnants of the Chu family!

He was too happy and didn't notice that Jian Xiaoqi's enthusiasm was not high from the beginning. Or rather, when he deliberately avoided the content of what he was doing when he spoke, it made her feel a little pimple in her heart.

“……”

Originally, Jian Xiaoqi wanted to muster up the courage to ask directly, to see if he was willing to tell himself. But it's so unreasonable, and what if he still doesn't want to say it?

Jian Xiaoqi didn't want to tear their faces because of this now. Or rather, he hadn't figured out what to do yet, so after sighing inwardly, she finally backed down.

Forget it, it's useless to ask!

"Oh, I see."

Jian Xiaoqi replied nonchalantly, as if he was not at all excited by the news that Si Yan was about to return. In just one day, the attitude has changed dramatically.

Si Yan finally realized that something was wrong with his little wife, "You ......"

Just wanted to ask, but was preempted by Jian Xiaoqi, "Oh, by the way, you should be very busy over there, right?" I won't bother you, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll go and rest first! ”

After speaking, as if escaping, he hung up the phone before Si Yan could react.

"Little ......"

As soon as Si Yan spit out a word, the phone was hung up.

The sound of "beep, beep, ......" was particularly harsh in his ears, cutting off his enthusiasm. The most important thing is that he doesn't know why!

What's going on? Could it be that something happened again?

Si Yan's brows furrowed tightly, his thin lips pursed tightly, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and a cold light that made people palpitate bloomed in his deep gaze.

It's that he's angry, and he just doesn't know who's going to be unlucky!

After Jian Xiaoqi hung up the phone, he stood there for a while before he remembered to take his hand out of the water. It doesn't matter if you look at it, there is a tendency for blisters on the back of your hands!

So serious?

Jian Xiaoqi panicked, didn't care about his steamy eyes, and ran back to the room to find the ointment. She remembered that Si Yan had prepared a small medicine bag for her before, which contained small ointments for the treatment of burns.

As soon as he thought of Si Yan, that inexplicable sadness came up again.

I found the ointment, and as soon as I unscrewed the lid, a faint scent of herbs came to my nose. Jian Xiaoqi's brain was sober for a while, and then he found a terrible problem:

I don't know when she became more and more cranky!

Hurriedly patted his face with the hand that had been soaked in water, and comforted himself: "No, you can't guess so much anymore, Jian Xiaoqi, cheer up!" ”

Jian Xiaoqi finished cheering himself up, and it took a while before he gradually cleaned up his mood and began to carefully administer medicine to himself.

"Shhhh

When the cold ointment is applied to the hand, a cool sensation wells up on the back of the hand, as if the skin gasps. Jian Xiaoqi saw that there were no bubbles in his hand, and finally put his heart down.

As for Si Yan's return? Don't worry, aren't there three more days?

Jian Xiaoqi didn't understand where the grievances in her heart came from this time, after all, in the first twenty years of her life, didn't she live well under the protection of her parents and brother? Could it really be that as Momoko said, she has begun to become greedy?

However, if she has been so ignorant, won't she never grow up?

Thinking about it like this, the balance in my heart seems to be tilted again......

(The cold got worse again, and I kept coughing, hey, my whole body was like falling apart~)
