"You...... Didn't you say you'd be waiting for me downstairs? How long have you been up? ”

was suddenly heard by the words of the young man in her ear, and her pretty face changed instantly, Tang Yating came back to her senses in a trance, raised her head and stared at Yun Xiao in front of her, and asked in surprise.

"Why do you have such an expression? Don't worry, I didn't eavesdrop on anything, I just walked upstairs when you came out. ”

After staring at Tang Yating's vigilant gaze for a moment, Yun Xiao finally shook his head helplessly and looked away, then raised his eyebrows and pursed the corners of his mouth, not hiding the depression in his heart and clarifying.

"Oh."

Seeing Yun Xiao's confused and helpless expression, Tang Yating relieved herself, after all, she had promised Nalan Yanfeng before, and the agreement between the two must not let Yun Xiao know, so after seeing that Yun Xiao didn't hear anything, she responded lightly.

"You're all right, are you? Is my dad having trouble for you? ”

Yun Xiao looked around Tang Yating, and saw that she had not changed, but she still asked with some unease.

"No, I had a good conversation with your dad. Uh-huh, it's not getting early, I have to go back to school......"

"I'll send you."

However, looking at the relieved expression on the girl's face, before she could finish the words she was about to speak, Nalan Yunxiao had already snatched the words and hurriedly answered.

Tang Yating raised her hand lightly, brushed the few scattered broken bangs in front of her forehead, her eyes were full of waves, and she suddenly looked at the young man in front of her with a strange gaze: "Nalan Yunxiao, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh?" Yun Xiao seemed to be slightly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Tang Yating to suddenly say something like this, but he didn't hesitate much, so he nodded straight and agreed, "What's the problem?" ”

"Why do you want to be so nice to me? I used to be so hostile to you, and I even caused you to be punished by the teacher......"

After asking this sentence, Tang Yating rarely showed a flush on her fair face. After all, she is inevitably a little embarrassed when she talks about such a question. What's more, at this moment, there are two different emotions in her heart, anger and regret, which are silently breeding and suppressing.

"I should have answered you a long time ago, right? It's just that at that time, you rejected me in one bite, and said that I was thinking of some idea to fix you. ”

Yun Xiao smiled faintly, moved slightly, and began to walk slowly downstairs, looking at Tang Yating, who was looking at him in place, and called softly: "Let's go, witch, I'm sending you back to school." ”

Seeing Nalan Yunxiao's handsome figure gradually become lower, and finally disappeared on the floor level of the corridor, Tang Yating trembled her slender eyelashes lightly, and hurriedly chased after her, her face was slightly eager.

"Hey, wait, I have something to say to you!"

When Tang Yating quickly caught up with Nalan Yunxiao, the two had already walked out of the brightly lit villa hall, followed the bluestone path, and came to the side of the parking road outside the iron gate.

Leaning slightly against the door in front of the driver's seat of the sports car, the corners of Yun Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, and his handsome face was a little smiling, as if he was waiting for Tang Yating's arrival. Seeing that the latter hurried in front of him, he slowly propped himself up, leaned down and poked his head into the window.

"What are you doing?" Tang Yating looked at him like this, put aside the words in her heart, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Wait a minute, I have something to give back to you."

Yun Xiao immediately stretched out his right hand and pounded near the driver's seat, as if he was looking for something.

"Well, here's it."

"It's ......"

After Nalan Yunxiao suddenly stood up, looked back and handed a hairband that suddenly appeared in his palm to Tang Yating, and said in a solemn tone, Tang Yating's beautiful eyes immediately stared directly at Yun Xiao's palm. When she could see the familiar crystal inlaid headband, her pretty face instantly changed color.

"How did you get it back? I'm not already—"

Tang Yating was full of surprise and vaguely hidden a trace of anger in the middle of her words, and in a hurry, a figure of a young man in white flashed in her mind, her expression was slightly stunned, and the answer she was about to blurt out stopped abruptly.

"Already, what?"

As if guessing that Tang Yating would have such a reaction, Yun Xiao surprisingly did not have much emotional change, and only quietly looked at the girl in front of her who was breathing rapidly, her eyes were deep and bright.

However, in the face of Yun Xiao's gaze and questioning, Tang Yating obviously didn't mean to answer, and after looking away, she said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

"Nothing? Then you tell me, this is obviously a hairpin I gave you, why did it end up in Qingyi's hands? ”

Yun Xiao saw that Tang Yating was obviously a little weak-hearted in her answer, and even though she couldn't bear to sneer, she relaxed her body again and leaned back to the car door.

"Huh? What are you talking about. ”

Before she knew that Mo Qingfeng had given the hairpin to Liu Qingyi, Tang Yating was naturally quite surprised that Yun Xiaohui would question herself so much, so she almost blurted out her vocal cords.

"Do you need to play fool with me? Didn't I let Tong Beibei tell you that this hairpin was given to you. Even if you don't like it, you can't give it to someone else! ”

"But this is ...... with Qing"

Suddenly turning her gaze back to staring at Yun Xiao, Tang Yating saw his look that was also slightly angry, and just about to question again, she opened her mouth and paused instantly, and then her tone changed suddenly, and she turned to Yun Xiao.

"That's right, I gave this card to Qingyi, so what? I'm an ordinary person, I can't afford something as precious and delicate as you, who wants you to give it to me? You can take it back, I just want my own card back. ”

"Your-" was made irritable by Tang Yating's sudden and direct confession, and Yun Xiao, who was full of depression in his heart, couldn't help but want to refute it sharply, but as soon as he said it, he instantly wilted.

"It's not that I didn't give you back your hairpin, but that when I wanted to clean it up later, I don't know why it disappeared."

"So you mean, you lied to me on the phone before, and it wasn't broken?"

Tang Yating's pretty face, which was still full of resentment just now, disappeared in the blink of an eye at this moment, and she just blinked her big eyes and stared at Yun Xiao firmly.

"Uh, that, that, you can rest assured, I have glass glue at home, as long as I can find it, I will help you re-glue it."

"You! You-"

Listening to Nalan Yunxiao's obvious confession that she had broken the hairpin, Tang Yating's delicate body trembled slightly, her chest couldn't help but rise and fall, she raised her jade finger and pointed at Yun Xiao angrily, her face was slightly flushed, but she stuck in her throat for a long time, not knowing what to say.

If it was before she came here, maybe she would really go straight away, scold Nalan Yunxiao, and then leave behind the cruel words that she would never get along with each other from now on. But after meeting Nalan Yanfeng just now and agreeing on those cooperation matters with him, she was no longer able to fall out with Nalan Yunxiao at this time.

"Forget it, give it to me, I'll take it. But you have to promise me that you will help me get my own hairpin back! ”

Tang Yating frowned tightly, her pretty face changed for a long time, and finally she had to sigh helplessly, looking extremely reluctant, she took the crystal headband from Yun Xiao's hand, and then raised her head sharply, staring at him solemnly and pleading.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find it, and I'll put it back to you. I remember I didn't lose it, so it should still be in my house. Maybe I was in too much of a hurry at the time and forgot where it was for a while. ”

Quite nervously defended himself, Nalan Yunxiao returned to his normal demeanor, opened his mouth and exhaled a little breath, pursed his lips to look at the twilight that was gradually darkening outside the sky, and whispered: "Let's go, I'll send you back to the public academy." ”

"Hmm." Tang Yating nodded slightly, but she didn't say anything to refuse, but then when she turned around, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, her mind seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes were staring at the headband in her hand, and she didn't speak again for a long time.

The smooth engine of the sports car gradually sounded, accompanied by a light breeze, and the white Lamborghini parked in the lane outside the iron gate of the villa also sped away, and soon disappeared at the end of the road on the Tianhai line.

Santa Fe Coastal Modern City South Region, Liujia Villa Garden Community.

"Uh-huh-"

In a study at the end of the corridor on the second floor, there was a short, sharp grinding sound, but it was quickly stopped.

In the corner of the wall by the window in the study, Liu Qingyi, who was wearing a light green shirt and sweatpants, was slowly getting up with her hair in her hands. The sound came from beside her, because she didn't pay attention for a while, causing the frame to be accidentally rubbed on the ground for a moment when she dragged it.

Liu Qingyi exhaled lightly, her cheeks puffed out slightly and swept her gaze to the door, Qiong'er stood up and listened for a long time, and no footsteps came close, so she gradually put her mind at ease, got up and shook the crumbs on her legs.

"Hey, what is this?"

Liu Qingyi, who was about to turn around and tidy up the rest of the counter room, looked around, but inadvertently swept to the black bulge under the corner of the table, which was covered by a large stack of books.

Slowly squatting down again, Liu Qingyi poked out his bare hand, and after removing everything that covered it, he saw clearly what was exposed under it - a prismatic card with considerable thickness.

"It's not supposed to be Mommy's, and besides, this card is too thick, right?"

Picking up the black card that fell on the ground, Liu Qingyi's crystal eyes couldn't help but look at it, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her mouth was still whispering suspiciously. However, although I don't know what it is, if I guess correctly, it should be left by the thief who came out of nowhere.
