Chapter 60: He's Weird
Shen Mi accompanied Chen Man to pack up his things for a while, and Xi Lie came downstairs.
"I'll show you something." Xi Lie said, taking her arm and pulling her upstairs again.
"See what?" She asked suspiciously, but he pulled her into a room.
Seeing that huge photo, she remembered that this was the room where Xi Yingyue stayed before, and it was where the second uncle lived before his death.
"Why did you bring me here?" She blinked, asking inexplicably.
"Don't you want to know about the second uncle? I'll tell you anything you want. Xi Lie sighed and said.
She blinked, and it seemed that Lin Meijuan had said something to him again.
"I don't want to know anything...... she said, glancing at him quietly, "I just heard something and wanted to find out." ”
"Just ask."
Xi Lie paced to the desk, picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, his eyes flashing slightly.
"I know that Li Juncheng was the murderer back then, and both times he used money to do things, obviously someone wanted to deal with the Xi family." She sighed and muttered.
"Hmm."
"I was suspicious of that Luo Yanbei before, but after thinking about it, twenty years ago, he was also a child, and it was impossible to do this."
Xi Lie frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at her deeply.
"You're really investigating behind your back?" He asked, but there was no question in his tone, but full of worry.
"No, I just want to save myself, and besides, this matter is closely related to me, and it just so happens that several relevant people seem to have some contact with me, and I only learned about it by chance." Shen Mi shook his head and explained.
"If you think about it carefully, you really don't have any enmity with the Luo family? Or did the second uncle provoke someone back then? ”
Originally, she was still thinking about whether it was because the second uncle offended the Luo family back then, that she was killed, but why did those people attack her frantically after she appeared? Obviously, there is still resentment.
The second uncle has been dead for so many years, and he is still haunted by the events of that year?
"It can't be said that the Luo family did it now." Xi Lie shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"Anyway, I know now that Luo Yanbei kept saying that he had a grudge against the Xi family, and Fang Xue told me in person, it's better to be careful!" As she spoke, she anxiously grabbed Xi Lie's arm.
Xi Lie's eyes sank when he heard this, "You say, Fang Xue? Is it the woman who was with Luo Yanbei some time ago and drugged Xiaoyu's teacup? ”
"Well, it's a long story, anyway, Fang Xue told me that Luo Yanbei might have a big conspiracy, and he also said that he wanted some blood debt and blood repayment."
"However, Luo Yanbei's accident this time is also strange, and some people say that Liu Chenyi did it, I originally thought they were a raccoon dog, but now it's all messed up, and my thinking has been disrupted." Shen Mi sighed heavily and shook his head speechlessly.
"His accident this time is indeed someone who has a heart." Xi Lie nodded knowingly.
"But they are actually embarrassed to ask for help from the Xi family, you say, grandpa, they won't really agree, right?"
"No, it won't." Xi Lie shook his head, "I want to see who chose to pull them at such a time." ”
Looking at his deep eyes, Shen Mi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Are you saying that someone will help Luo Yanbei, and this person is likely to be behind the scenes?"
Xi Lie's big hand patted her head, "You're still not stupid." ”
Shen Mi slapped his big hand away in displeasure.
"So we just have to wait, don't act rashly and be smart." Xi Lie admonished uneasily, staring at her with a pair of warning eyes, staring at her so stupidly that she lowered her head stupidly.
"I know, you say, do you want to ask Liu Chenyi, is it a friendly army?"
Xi Lie was displeased when he heard this.
"No, you don't."
He doesn't know if Liu Chenyi is an ally or not, but he is definitely the first rival in love.
He still hasn't reached the point where he needs to seek an alliance to solve these things, lure the wolf into the house or something, so forget it!
"It's okay, anyway, that person said that the wind is the rain, and I don't know when he went crazy and turned against him again." Shen Mi nodded approvingly, and his gaze fell on the photo in Xi Lie's hand.
"The second uncle was so handsome when he was young, I'm really curious, what that second aunt is like."
Xi Lie sighed, "Only Grandpa knows, only he has seen it." ”
Shen Mi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was keenly caught by Xi Lie.
"Don't you want to go to grandpa and ask, his old man is not like us, he will come by you." He warned in a deep voice.
“…… Got it, just don't ask. I'm just worried about whether that villain will be someone who has something to do with my second aunt. Shen Mi pursed his lips and lowered his head stupidly.
"We've all checked what should be checked, but we can't even find her whereabouts, and now there's no way to talk about everything, the key to you getting drunk now is to protect yourself, don't have an accident, and don't cause trouble." Xi Lie mercilessly niptled her impulsiveness in the bud.
"Then, you went to the military region, what should I do alone?" Shen Mi blinked, and he couldn't hold back his desolate strength.
"Eat and drink, wait for me to come back." Xi Lie said, raised his hand to look at his watch, and patted her shoulder with his big hand, "Let's go, lunch is about to start." ”
Shen Mi went downstairs with him to the restaurant, only to find that the few of them didn't know when they had finished talking, and the people from the Luo family were warmly left by them to eat.
She couldn't help but look at the man a few more times.
looks like he is in his forties, the whole person is lean and lean, not at all like Luo Yanbei, he should be an employee of the company or something, not a person surnamed Luo.
Only then did she remember that Luo Wan'er said that the old man would only go to the hospital to pretend to be sick if he had an accident, and it seemed that when the turmoil was over, the Luo family should not be going back and forth under the eyes of the media.
During the banquet, the man talked with Xi Yingjie from time to time, and it seemed very harmonious, probably because he came to lobby with a heavy responsibility, and his temper seemed to be very good, even Xi Lie, a person outside the business district, did not let go, and toasted several glasses in a row, but Xi Lie refused on the grounds that he wanted to drive.
At the end of the meal, Shen Mi wanted to go back with Xi Lie, but inadvertently saw Xi Chongjin in a daze in the flower garden.
After making a cup of flower tea, she flatteringly stepped forward and poured him a cup.
"Grandpa, drink some tea." She smiled obediently and sat down in a chair beside her.
"Why didn't my daughter-in-law go back? What about Lie'er? Xi Chongjin came back to his senses, smiled at her, and took a sip of the teacup with an appreciative face.
"He's talking to Dad, I'll stay with you!"
Xi Chongjin nodded, a pair of eyes wandered around her, and then he looked at the big tree on the side, and was silent.
"Grandpa looks like he's worried?" She asked cautiously, blinking.
"Troubles are all young people's business, and I am now worried about when I will be able to hold my great-grandson." Xi Chongjin shook his head and sighed.
"......" Shen Mi was so blocked by his words that he couldn't speak, so he had to smile and frown.
"Listen to Lao Yang, you are seriously anemic?" Xi Chongjin coughed and suddenly asked.
She was stunned for a while before she realized that this old Yang was referring to that Uncle Yang.
"I used to be healthy, and I probably didn't pay attention to it later...... But I've been making up for it lately, so it's not a big deal. She smiled, afraid that saying those ovulation words would make the old man sad.
"Well, it's really not good, ask Lie'er to hire a nutritionist for you and raise your body." Xi Chongjin nodded, took out his mobile phone, and began to look through the address book.
"I know a senior nutritionist, you can try food supplements." As he spoke, he found a large number of numbers and sent them to Xi Lie in the form of text messages, and then put away his mobile phone with satisfaction.
"Thank you, grandpa." She smiled deftly and filled his teacup again.
Xi Chongjin shook his head helplessly, "Daughter-in-law Sun, I have high blood sugar." ”
Shen Mi's embarrassed smile condensed at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the teapot in his hand, and withdrew his hand stupidly.
"Okay, let's go back with Lie'er, he's going to leave the day after tomorrow, and the matter of your little couple is important."
She was no longer embarrassed to stay here, so she nodded and left the place slowly.
But I felt a little strange in my heart.
Although Xi Chongjin didn't say anything, his expression was as kind as ever, but his eyes were not as soft and clear as before, and they were shining.
Back in the living room, Xi Lie was already waiting for her.
"Mom and Dad, let's go back first." After saying hello, he hugged Shen Mi with a smile on his face and got into the car.
In the car, Shen Mi frowned and pondered.
"Well, after you're gone, I'll have to live with three big men? Not quite right? ”
"Well, so I called my sister-in-law and asked her to accompany you. Let the three of them move out. ”
Shen Mi was speechless.
It's really going to do everything, and now even my sister-in-law has moved out, and the attitude of worrying about her accident really touched her.
"Will my sister-in-law be unhappy?" She muttered.
"No, it won't." Xi Lie categorically denied it, "The old rule is that you are not allowed to go out drinking with her." ”
"You might as well call Lu Yue over! My sister-in-law is an elder, and I can't be disobedient if I am an elder! She whispered.
"Your friend is pregnant now, it's not appropriate."
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this, "How do you know?" What did she say herself? I still wonder if the child's father is Chen Ming or Shi Yuan! ”
"I'm going to go back this time to find out." Xi Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
"Who do you think is more likely?" She blinked, curiously asking.
Xi Lie pondered for a moment when he heard this, and really thought about it seriously.
"I don't think it's possible." After a long time, he concluded.
"Ugh." She sighed heavily, "Those who want children don't want it, and those who don't want it fall into the soul, God really takes us for fun!" ”
Xi Lie frowned slightly, no longer answered, but silently sent her downstairs.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that he seemed to have something to leave, she couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Song has something to do with me, I don't think I will come back for dinner, let the three of them accompany you to eat outside, and I'll come back later." Xi Lie opened the window of the car and arranged word by word.
Shen Mi nodded, and then slowly went upstairs.
Song Jingxuan looked for him, but he didn't know what it was.
There was always a suffocating feeling of discomfort that made her feel that something was wrong.
Back home, Jason was chatting with the three newcomers.
"Sister-in-law, are you back? What about the big brother? Seeing her come back, he asked with a hippie smile.
"He seems to have gone to Song's house." Tired, she put down her bag, poured herself a large glass of water, and went to the cupboard to find medicine.
"The Song family?" Jason leaned over and looked at her for a while, "Sister-in-law, you don't look happy!" Is it uncomfortable to hear the word Song? ”
Shen Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly when she heard this, "No." ”
"Eh, don't lie, you have a few big words on your face that you are very unhappy." Jason quipped.
"No, I just think it's weird." She put down her glass of water with a clatter, "I'm going to take a nap." ”
Jason put away the hanging boy and stopped teasing her.
She was a little tired, took off her coat and fell asleep.
Until late at night, Xi Lie did not return.
She got up in a daze, and found that the living room was no longer moving, Jason and they seemed to be asleep, and in order to take medicine, she took an apple from the refrigerator and moved it to the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the night view.
Taking out her mobile phone, she called Xi Lie.
Usually she doesn't care so much, but it's already so late at this time, even if Song Jingxuan has something, it's time to finish talking at this time.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Her mind was a little fried, and her heart was in a mess.
Isn't something wrong?
Thinking of this, she dialed again uneasily, but there was still no answer.
Xi Lie rarely doesn't answer the phone, and when it is inconvenient to answer the phone, he will tell her in advance, and he will send her a message.
"Maybe he didn't have his phone with him." She muttered to herself, but the uneasiness in her heart did not subside in the slightest because of self-comfort.
Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore, so she dialed it a third time.
"Hello?" The phone went through.
Listen carefully, but it is not Xi Lie's voice.
"It's Lie'er's wife, right? I'm your Uncle Song, Lie'er drank too much, and he fell asleep now, if you don't want to, I'll order someone to send him back. Song Jingxuan's voice sounded slowly, and she recognized it for a long time before she confirmed it.
A big stone in her heart was put down, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
"He doesn't usually drink so much, or I'll come and pick it up, Uncle Song."
Thinking about it, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart, anyway, there were three bodyguards, and it was a simple matter to carry Xi Lie back.
Song Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then come here, I'll wake up Lie'er." ”
Shen Mi responded, and then went to knock on Ah Chao's door.
The group went to Song's house in a hurry.
Song Jingxuan was wearing a nightgown and a long gown wrapped outside, and the others didn't wake up, probably not expecting her to come over to pick up people in the middle of the night.
"Uncle Song, hasn't he woken up yet?" Shen Mi looked around, but there was no figure of Xi Lie.
"He's not very drunk, why don't you wait for him to wake up?" Song Jingxuan smiled, "I can't even wake him up!" ”
Shen Mi frowned when he heard this, glanced at Ah Chao and Xiao Yan next to him, and said lightly: "It's okay if you don't wake up, I'll just take it back." ”
Song Jingxuan nodded, "Okay, he's upstairs in the guest room, I'll take you over." ”
When the group came to the second floor, the white door was hidden, Shen Mi pushed the door in, and found Xi Lie sleeping soundly on the bed.
His hands and feet were spread widely, and he looked really drunk from this sleeping appearance.
Ah Chao and the others tacitly stepped forward and pulled Xi Lie up from the bed, and Shen Mi could smell the smell of wine on him from afar.
His shirt was a little disheveled, and several shirt buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the red skin on his chest.
"Thank you, Uncle Song, excuse me, let's go back."
Seeing that Ah Chao had already carried the unconscious Xi Lie on her back, she smiled politely, said hello to Song Jingxuan, and took Xi Lie out of the Song family.
Xi Lie slept very deeply, and a group of people tossed like this, but he didn't wake up.
When he got home, a loud noise woke Jason, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and came out, and when he saw that everyone was busy, he was half awake and came to help.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
"Drink too much." Shen Mi gasped and helped Xi Lie change his clothes.
"It's strange, my eldest brother has always been very self-controlled, how can he drink too much, I haven't seen him drunk for so many years." Jason said and ran up to sniff it, then frowned in surprise, "I'll go, this wine smells, it seems that I really drank a lot!" ”
Put Xi Lie on the bed and change into pajamas, and before they went to sleep, Shen Mi went to get some hot water and began to help him wipe his body.
"Oh my God, it's tiring." She let out a long sigh and slapped Xi Lie's buttocks irritably.
She twisted the towel before she stepped forward to wipe his face.
It's still so good-looking starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and wheat-colored healthy skin.
In the blink of an eye, he found that his lips were shining in the light.
She looked closer curiously, and saw that something seemed to be on his full lips.
She turned on the light and looked at it for a long time before she could tell it from the pale red at the corner of his mouth.
It's lip gloss.
There were several rubs on his lips, on his chin, and on his neck.
With a sinking heart, she quickly got out of bed and rummaged through the clothes basket for the clothes he had just woon.
A lip print on the white shirt stinged her eyes fiercely.
Pacing slowly back to the edge of the bed, she stared at his face.
Xi Lie, whom she knows, is by no means the kind of person who is drunk and disorderly, and it is even more impossible to be sober.
Thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and wiped his face and lips clean, and carefully wiped his neck for him.
The hand accidentally touched his skin, and a burning sensation instantly came from her fingertips, startling her.
He was burning all over, and he looked like he had a fever.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand and stroked his forehead, as well as his chest, all like a fire, hot and terrifying.
"Xi Lie, wake up!" She patted him on the face and shouted in a deep voice.
Xi Lie snorted, raised his eyes slightly, and rough breathing overflowed from his lips.
The next second, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the bed.
"You've got a fever! Don't make a fuss! Shen Mi struggled and said sharply.
Xi Lie's strength was so great that he imprisoned her in his arms, and she only felt that he was so hot that her face was red.
"Xi Lie!" She struggled a few times, but to no avail.
Hearing her call, his starry eyes widened, "You're here." ”
"Come on, let go quickly, you have a fever, I'll go find you some medicine."
"No, you don't." Xi Lie gasped, and his big hand had unconsciously climbed onto her waist.
"Oh, don't make a fuss." Shen Mi got goosebumps all over his body because of him, and pinched his waist irritably.
"I don't have a fever, I just drank too much."
He said in a hoarse voice, turning over and pressing her under him, who looked bad.
Looking at his red eyes, she was a little displeased.
It could be seen that his eyebrows were full of lust now, and the spark of desire shone in his eyes, as if it was about to burn her.
"Who made you drink that much? The Song family's wine is so delicious? ”
Thinking of the kiss marks on his face, she couldn't help but be angry.
Xi Lie's eyes darkened, and he leaned over to kiss her, but she quickly dodged her.
He gasped for breath for a long time, and finally got off her top of her and sat up.
"I'm going to take a shower."
After speaking, he quickly got out of bed and shook his hands into the bathroom, and after a while there was the sound of rushing water.
Not long after, he came out in a bathrobe and took a deep look at her.
"I'll go sleep in the living room so that I don't disturb you." With that, he picked up his pillow and went out of the room.
Leaving Shen Mi alone, his heart was in turmoil.
Now it seems that he is so sober that he doesn't look like a drunk person at all, but the whole person exudes a terrible hormonal smell.
Irritably, she put away the towel, turned off the light, and lay on the bed tossing and turning.
He went to Song's house, and he was drunk for the first time, with unknown kiss marks on his body, even if her mind was not bright, she could think of what might have happened at night.
It's just that there are too many doubts, and she won't use such unfounded things to question Xi Lie's personality.
If he really wanted to have something to do with the Song family, he wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble to marry her early in the morning.
After thinking for a long time, she got up, found a blanket in the closet, went out of the room, and sent it to him.
The dim light hit him, and he saw that his eyes were closed, his lips were biting, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was forbearing.
Sighing, she helped him put the quilt on.
glanced at him uneasily, he looked bad, and she finally couldn't care about him.
Finding the medical kit, she found the electronic thermometer in it, measured his cochlea, and found that his body temperature was approaching thirty-nine degrees, so she patted his face in a panic.
"You've got a fever! Are you alright? ”
Since she had known him, she had never seen him sick, not even coughing.
Thinking about it, she remembered that there were still some fever-reducing patches in the cabinet, which Xi Lie had bought after she was sick last time, so she went to look it out and made a gesture to put it on him.
"I'm fine." His voice was hoarse, but it sounded exceptionally calm.
"Then tell me, what are you doing at the Song family?" She frowned, and there was some displeasure in her tone.
"Just drank a little bit and said something." He patiently explained.
Shen Mi was a little angry, he obviously hid something, she really wanted to ask, drinking and talking about things, how did she talk about the woman's lip gloss on her body.
"Are you angry?" Only then did Xi Lie sense that something was wrong with her, and asked with a strong spirit.
"Nope." She threw down the fever patch and got up to leave, but was choked by Xi Lie's big hot hand.
"I'm uncomfortable." He said in a hoarse voice, sitting up from the couch and clasping her waist tightly, the burning breath reaching her back through her pajamas, making her heart sink.
"What the hell is going on with you!" She asked in a low voice.
"Help me." Xi Lie didn't answer, but suddenly got up and picked her up, carried her back to the room with hurried steps, put her on the bed with a roar, and bullied her in the next second!
peace of mind says:
I went and was dismissed for one night...
