Night.

Xia Li carefully read the "dog raising guide" that Xie Yin sent to him.

Because she couldn't appear in Tingyuan anytime and anywhere, she took Coconut Coconut home with her.

Coconut is very well-behaved, and at the moment it is sleeping in the nest that Xia Li has temporarily built for it, and if you listen closely, you can hear its subtle snoring.

There was suddenly such a little guy in the family, and Xia Li was really a little uncomfortable.

Xia Li carefully read this "dog guide", and did not forget to sit up from the bed and look at the coconut lying on the wall.

Seeing that it was sleeping soundly, she was relieved.

Yi Xiaoli: [Mr. Xie, I'm done. You can rest assured, I will take care of the coconut in strict accordance with the documents. 】

The person on the other end of the phone quickly replied with a five-second voice message.

Xia Li clicked on the voice note, and the man's deep voice came out softly through the earpiece of the mobile phone.

"Well, don't forget to take care of yourself."

In the dim room, Xia Li only left a dim bedside lamp, and the man's rich and low-alcohol voice sounded in the quiet room.

She only felt as if her heart was violently hooked by an invisible hook, and the fingertips holding the phone were slightly numb.

Xia Li swallowed his saliva quietly, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Xie Yin's gaze fell on the girl's reply, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

He put his mobile phone in his pocket, stood up and took the suit jacket hanging on the hanger next to him and put it on, and when he walked out of the study, he said softly to Ji Cheng who was standing outside the door:

"Back to Port City."

Not long after exiting the chat box with Xie Yin, Chu Shishi's voice call popped up at the top of the mobile phone screen.

Xia Li didn't even think about it, and directly pressed the answer button.

"Li Li, do you have a dog? I see that Samoyed posted on your circle of friends is so cute. ”

I took several photos of coconut coconut in Tingyuan before, and she thought it was cute and didn't think much about it, so she directly posted it to Moments.

Then in the dim light, Xia Li glanced at the coconut who was sleeping soundly in the nest:

"I didn't raise it, it was Xie Yin."

"Huh?"

Chu Shishi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a second, as if she was surprised and wondered if her ears were hallucinating.

"Who do you say raised it? Xie Yin? ”

Xia Li didn't take Chu Shishi's surprise seriously:

"Well, he said he's going on a business trip for the next two days, so let me help take care of his dog."

"You told me that this cute Samoyed in the photo was raised by Xie Yin?"

Chu Shishi suspiciously opened Xia Li's circle of friends, and carefully enlarged the coconut that was having fun in the photo.

Such a cute puppy, you told her that it was the dog raised by the ruthless Gangcheng President Xie?

She Chu Shishi absolutely didn't believe it.

No matter how you look at it, people like Xie Yin at least have to raise some dogs like Doberman, who are cool and handsome at first glance, and raising such a cute Samoyed is completely inconsistent with the aura of the head of his Xie family.

Hearing the surprise in Chu Shishi's words, Xia Li told Chu Shishi the ins and outs of the matter.

After speaking, Xia Li did not forget to make a summary:

"I feel that Mr. Xie is quite kind."

Obviously not a dog lover, but he will choose to bring home a dying puppy on a rainy night.

Chu Shishi on the other end of the phone twitched the corners of her mouth twice for Xia Li's final summary.

Kindness?

Who?

Who is said to be kind?

Xie Yin?

She heard her right, right?

"Li Li, do you have any misunderstanding about Mr. Xie?"

Although she was not familiar with Xie Yin, she had heard some things about him before.

Although the Xia family is defeated now, the Xia family definitely knows what kind of person Xie Yin is.

How can a man who is so ruthless that he can even do it to his relatives who are related by blood, how can he have a good heart?

Xia Li, who was lying on the bed, turned over and yawned softly:

"No, after contact with Mr. Xie, it doesn't seem to be as scary as everyone says."

Chu Shishi sighed lightly: "I hope, but Li Li, you must not offend him." ”

Although Xia Li said that Xie Yin was very good, Chu Shishi was still a little worried about Xia Li in her heart.

"Got it."

Chu Shishi pursed her lower lip and changed the topic: "By the way, Li Li, are you free tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow? I'm going to school tomorrow morning to do another exhibition. ”

The start time of the graduation exhibition is just around the corner, and in order to be able to enter the top three, she has to face it with a spirit of 12 points.

"Let's have a meal together at noon?" Chu Shishi said, "My brother said that the three of us haven't been together for a long time, so let's get together together." ”

"Okay."

-

The next day, Xia Li got up early in the morning, put a chain on the coconut and went downstairs for a walk.

It was the first time since she went to college that she had woken up so early for morning exercise.

The condition of the coconut is very good, so that many uncles and aunts in the community who exercise in the morning can't help but praise a few cute words after seeing the coconut.

After walking around the community, Xia Li took Coconut to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community and bought two steamed buns.

After returning home and washing up briefly, Xia Li poured some dog food and water for Ye Ye, and did not forget to rub Ye Ye's head before going out.

There is still less than a week before the graduation exhibition begins, and the exhibitions of the surrounding students are slowly approaching completion.

Xia Li came to the exhibition hall very early and pushed the door of the hall, and it was pitch black inside.

She stretched out her arm and fumbled for the switch on the wall, turned on the lights in the exhibition hall, and walked straight to her booth.

Xia Li stood in front of the booth and carefully observed his work, and then devoted himself to revising the details of the exhibition.

Chu Shishi and Chu Wang came to the temporary exhibition hall near noon.

"Li Li!" As soon as she entered the door of the exhibition hall, Chu Shishi couldn't wait to run to Xia Li's side.

Xia Li put down the things in his hand, turned his head to look at Chu Shishi, who was running towards him, and slowly stood up.

"Li Li Baby!"

As soon as they met, Chu Shishi hugged Xia Li with a full hug.

Xia Li's gaze inadvertently fell on the man who was slowly pacing towards them.

Chu Wang stopped in front of the two girls and looked at Xia Li with a gentle smile in his eyes.

The man's voice was like warm boiled water:

"Long time no see, Li Li."

Xia Li was slightly stunned: "It's been a long time, Brother Chu Wang." ”

Chu Wang is two years older than Chu Shishi and Xia Li.

When they were young, the two children liked to pull Chu Wang to play with them.

Sometimes when he gets into trouble, he will put the pot on Chu Wang's body.

So much so that from childhood to adulthood, Chu Wang has been scolded so much that he can't count it.

Later, when they were in their second year of high school, Chu Wang decided to study abroad.

This walk has been gone for more than six years.

When we meet again after six years, the people who were familiar in the past only feel strange when standing in front of them at the moment.

The corners of Chu Wang's mouth hooked a gentle smile:

"I haven't seen it in all these years, but it's still so beautiful."

Xia Li pursed his lower lip slightly: "Thank you." ”

There was a hint of embarrassment in the atmosphere, as if to alleviate the embarrassment, Chu Wang raised his hand and glanced at the watch he was wearing on his wrist.

Xia Li's gaze inadvertently fell on the watch that Chu Wang was wearing, and found that the watch was the same style she had bought for Xie Yin.

Chu Wang coughed lightly and spoke out to relieve the embarrassment:

"It's not early, we're ..... Going to eat first? ”

"Okay!" As soon as she heard the word "eat", Chu Shishi's eyes lit up.

She leaned into Xia Li's ear and whispered:

"My brother finally came back, and we slaughtered him!"

The voice of the voice was not loud, but in the quiet temporary exhibition hall, it still came into the ears of Chu Wang on the side.

Chu Wang pulled the collar behind Chu Shishi's clothes and "pulled" her away from Xia Li's body:

"Chu Shishi, what bad idea are you beating your brother again?"

"Where, where is there ....."

Chu Shishi smiled at Chu Wang weakly:

"How could I have a bad idea?"

It's just that I want to slaughter it.

What's the bad idea?

During the meal, Chu Wang ordered a table of dishes that Xia Li used to like to eat.

Chu Wang sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Xia Li:

"Li Li, your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs before, try it?"

"Brother Chu Wang." Xia Li looked at the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl, and looked at Chu Wang with some embarrassment.

"I don't like sweet and sour pork ribs anymore."

In the past, she really liked to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, especially those made by Chu Wang.

But as she grew older, she had to admit that she was tired of the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Chu Wang's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and even the smile on his face stiffened a little, but soon the corners of his mouth pulled out a very faint smile.

"Ah, that's it....."

On the way to eat, Xia Li's mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate.

She picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Xie Yin.

She glanced at Chu Shishi and Chu Wang beside her, hesitated in her heart and pressed the hang up button.

In the next second, the man's message popped up from the screen.

X: [Huh? 】

Xia Li lowered his head and replied to the message: [Mr. Xie, it is inconvenient for me to answer the phone outside. 】

Chu Wang watched Xia Li's every move in his eyes, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip:

"Replying to your boyfriend's message?"

As soon as the gentle voice fell, Xie Yin's message popped up on the screen of the mobile phone in his hand.

Xia Li shook his head and denied: "No, I don't have a boyfriend yet." Just an ordinary friend. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head to look at the message sent by Xie Yin.

X: [Call me when you're ready.] 】

Xia Li's fingertips trembled slightly, and then closed the phone and put it aside.

"Haven't talked about a boyfriend yet?" Seeing Xia Li put down his phone, Chu Wang asked.

Xia Li nodded: "Brother Chu Wang, what about you?" Got a target? ”

Chu Wang smiled and shook his head:

"I haven't yet."

Because he was worried about things in his heart and had eaten, Xia Li did not return to the exhibition hall but chose to go home directly.

"Brother Chu Wang, just stop at the gate of the community."

Chu Wang raised his eyes and looked at Xia Li who was sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror: "I don't need to send you in?" ”

"No," said Xia Li, "I just happened to be tired and wanted to take a walk." ”

Chu Wang responded with a little disappointment.

As soon as he opened the door, Ye Ye wagged his tail and looked at Xia Li who walked in the door.

Xia Li bent down and rubbed Coconut Coco's head, and then changed his shoes and entered the house.

She sat down on the sofa, looking at the coconut who was sticking to her lap and wagging her tail, she wanted to call Xie Yin directly back, but she was worried that Xie Yin was busy, so she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Yin.

Yi Xiaoli: [Mr. Xie, are you busy? I'm empty now. 】

The next second the message was sent, Xie Yin bounced a video call.

Looking at the video call page that the man bounced over, Xia Li's hand holding the phone tightened a little.

In my ears was the ringtone of the incoming call from the mobile phone, and Miriam Yang's singing voice sounded softly in the living room.

Coconut is rubbing her legs and coquettish at her.

Xia Li had an indescribable sense of nervousness and anticipation in her heart, and she tried to adjust her breathing, trying to calm her disordered heartbeat.

Her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and her fingertips trembled lightly as she pressed the answer button.
