The rain pattered outside the car window, and the raindrops slowly slid down the glass, leaving shallow marks on the glass.

At this moment, Cheng Suiran, who was sleeping, was obviously a little uneasy, whispering in a low voice: "Brother, I'm afraid..."

Li Qizhi felt a little depressed for no reason as he listened. He subconsciously gently held the little girl's hand and murmured softly: "Don't be afraid, my brother is here."

Perhaps feeling his warmth, Cheng Suiran's originally uneasy heart slowly calmed down, and he held the big warm hand as a habit.

The light rain continued outside the car window, and the sky gradually became darker.

The night shrouds the city, making it mysterious and confusing.

Li Qizhi looked out through the car window. The street lights were on one after another. The drizzle stopped at some point. There were a few stars hanging in the sky, which looked a little depressed.

The little girl next to him rarely slept peacefully, so he kept the same posture as before, and it never changed in the past few hours.

Cheng Suiran slept in a daze all the way. The car stopped at the door of the apartment for an unknown amount of time until the sound of a metal lighter clicking was heard in his ears.

She woke up slowly. The car was dark, and she was slightly short-sighted. At this moment, she could only vaguely see the blurry outline of Li Qizhi's profile and dots of faint firelight.

Cheng Suiran rubbed his sleepy eyes with one hand, sat up, looked at the night outside the window, and asked in a muffled voice: "Brother, are we here?"

Li Qizhi hung his hand outside the car window, flicked the ashes of his cigarette naturally, his Adam's apple rolled slightly and said "Hmm".

"Brother, did I waste time?" After Cheng Suiran realized something, he whispered with some self-blame.

"Yeah, there was a bit of a delay." Li Qizhi said jokingly with a smile on his face, "But if you don't let go of my brother's hand, my brother's hand will be amputated soon."

The long posture made his arms somewhat numb due to lack of blood flow. At this moment, he could only feel the little hand holding his hand tightly, as if he was worried that he would leave at any time. Thinking like this,

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Cheng Suiran heard this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the two people's tightly interlocked hands. Lin Lu's words came to mind, and his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he forgot how to react.

"Really want my brother to have his leg amputated?" Li Qizhi looked down at the little girl's reaction and laughed softly.

"No……"

Cheng Suiran quickly retracted his hand and explained in a low voice: "I forgot, I didn't hold it on purpose and didn't let go."

But her explanation felt like it was trying to hide something.

Fortunately, Li Qizhi didn't delve into the meaning. He just touched the top of her soft hair, and his deep magnetic voice sounded in the silent carriage: "Let's go home."

"Okay." Cheng Suiran nodded and agreed happily.

After getting off the car, the moist air after the rain hit my face, refreshing my heart and spleen, making me feel a little happier.

Cheng Suiran followed Li Qizhi into the elevator. Just when the elevator door was about to close, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside: "Qizhi, wait a minute!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Qizhi pressed the elevator door button.

Oncoming was a panting white-haired old man.

In the past few months, Cheng Suiran also got to know this old lady, who was Li Qizhi's neighbor, Grandma Wang.

"Hello, Grandma Wang." Cheng Suiran called out politely, but this politeness was mixed with a bit of alienation.

Because through these few months of observation, she found that Grandma Wang was very persistent and keen on letting Li Qizhi become her grandson-in-law, so she gradually lost her good impression of Grandma Wang.

But she didn't dare to express the possessiveness towards Li Qizhi deep in her heart. This hazy feeling made her very confused. She was not sure what kind of emotion it was.

"Of course." Grandma Wang exchanged greetings with her, and then turned her attention to Li Qizhi aside. She became more and more satisfied with it, until she saw the white schoolbag he was holding, and she said with some disapproval.

He opened his mouth and said, "Qi Zhi, I tell you, you can't be too spoiled to your little sister. Of course, you are already a senior in high school. Why do you still need your brother's help to carry your schoolbag?"

As she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the elevator instantly became awkward.

Li Qizhi smiled politely and didn't say much.

But Grandma Wang seemed completely unaware, and said with a smile to herself: "By the way, Qi Zhi, my granddaughter came back today, and she was admitted as a teacher. Tonight you..."

"Brother!" Cheng Suiran interrupted her abruptly. When faced with Li Qizhi's confused eyes, she blinked, her cheeks flushed, and said quickly: "The elevator is here."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Grandma Wang's reaction. She took Li Qizhi and ran out of the elevator, and ran into the house as if she was running away.

Li Qizhi was half-dragged into the house by her, so he looked at her with some confusion and asked warmly: "Of course, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Cheng Suiran's attention was entirely focused on Grandma Wang outside the corridor at the moment. It was not until she confirmed through the peephole that Grandma Wang was home that she felt relieved.

When she turned around, her sight suddenly fell into a pair of dark and deep eyes.

For a moment, her breath was suffocated. At this moment, she felt as if the whole world had stopped.

The distance between the two was now very close, so close that she could easily smell his refreshing fragrance.

"Brother..." Cheng Suiran subconsciously took a small step back, leaning his back against the door. He raised his eyes and stared blankly at the man in front of him, his little heart beating continuously.

Seeing her unusual behavior, Li Qizhi couldn't help but laugh: "What are you panicking about?"

Only then did Cheng Suiran realize his embarrassment and shook his head in panic: "No...it's nothing."

Li Qizhi couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, go take a bath, but don't catch a cold again, otherwise Cheng Siyan will definitely come to me for gossip again."

Cheng Suiran looked at him, hesitating in his eyes, his face was so red that it was almost bleeding, but he still mustered up the courage to shout loudly: "Brother! Grandma Wang said that you should go to her house for dinner, you, you must not go, do you understand?

?”

After she finished speaking, she got into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

"..."

Li Qizhi looked at the closed door and was stunned for a moment. What happened to this little girl today?

But judging from the situation, she probably wasn't having a conflict with him, and judging from her appearance, she seemed a little shy.

As for what he is shy about, that's not clear.

Li Qizhi shook his head. He could never guess the little girl's thoughts, so he simply stopped guessing and then turned around and walked into the kitchen.

At the same time, in the bathroom.

In the steaming mist, Cheng Suiran was banging her head against the tiles on the wall. Whenever she thought of what she had just done, she was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

"Li Qizhi must have noticed it..."

Cheng Suiran murmured in a low voice, struggling with himself for a while, and finally sighed deeply: "It must be over..."
