The quilt fluttered back to Bailixia, and Mu Xiaojiu turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window without looking back.
When Bailixia wrapped himself in the quilt and looked up, his tall figure was no longer in the room.
The smell of cigarettes still wafted strongly, but the others had already walked away.
It's finally gone, maybe, it's better to be gone.
What is the use of staying, leaving a room of confrontation and harm?
She tightened the quilt, but the tears in the corners of her eyes never fell.
I thought that the two hearts were very close, but I didn't expect that a child's problem immediately revealed their relationship.
Everything, in fact, what has changed? Isn't it just a date, isn't it just a little gentle with her?
In fact, it's really the same as before......
โฆโฆ
Early in the morning, before it was time for breakfast, Bai Lixia was woken up by the sound of an internal phone.
Grandpa wants to see her...... I don't know if it's a weak heart or what, but when I heard the maid's words, I suddenly sobered up.
When I lifted the quilt, I found that I was unfazed.
Last night, I hugged the quilt and felt uncomfortable, so I fell asleep like this, and even forgot to wear clothes.
If someone comes in halfway, I don't know what to do.
Fortunately, there was no wind or waves all night.
Pack yourself up and change into a light dress.
After putting away the clothes that were torn by the fourth uncle yesterday, she hurried downstairs and knocked on the old man's door.
The old man has been up for a long time, and the old man just gets up early.
I also took a short walk around the backyard early in the morning, and this would, not long after I came back.
Seeing Bailixia enter the door, he waved his hand and motioned for her to close the door.
When she closed the door and walked to him, he looked at her and asked straight to the point, "Did Ah Jiu go to your room last night?" โ
Bailixia's heart was shocked, and her breathing was almost chaotic.
"Yes, yes, the fourth uncle has been here, but he just stayed for a while." The little hand was clenched tightly, and he was really panicked, "Master...... Master, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? โ
The old man just bowed lightly and shook his head again: "It's nothing, when I came in yesterday, there was still a smell of cigarettes in the room." โ
"This time, I have to talk about Ah Jiu well, don't let him smoke in your room, second-hand smoke, it's not good for girls."
Originally...... Because of this, Bailixia breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to hide her nervousness, she stepped aside, pulled a chair, and sat down in front of the old man again.
"Grandpa, is there anything wrong with looking for me so early?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't talked to you for a long time, I want to hear you talk about how you've been doing lately, are you still used to it in the Mu family?"
The old man looked at her with a kind face, full of pity.
He was genuinely good to her, which Bailixia could definitely see.
She nodded, smiled and replied, "I'm used to it, everyone is very good to me." โ
"I know they are very good to you, especially Ah Jiu, who takes special care of you."
Bailixia didn't speak, just held the five fingers of the chair handle, and couldn't help but tighten a little.
The fourth uncle takes good care of her, and he does take care of her, but grandpa doesn't know what kind of care it is.
Not everyone can afford that kind of care, and perhaps, it's better not to take special care.
However, the old man clearly still has something to say, and his speech is a bit slurred.
After glancing at Bailixia again, he said slowly: "Although Ah Jiu is your fourth uncle, he is a young man after all, and he is ...... with strong blood."
