She actually felt that the cufflinks were hot again!

And it was even worse than the time Shen Huan was injured before!

Not only that, along with this burning sensation, her heart felt like it was being violently tugged by something at that moment, making it impossible for her to regain her composure.

She thought for a moment and quickly threw the cufflinks into the water glass. She could even hear a faint "puff" sound, like a hot stone being thrown into ice water.

Could it be that Shen Huan...

"Xuxu, Xiaodai, haven't you eaten yet? I've packed up rice rolls and come back, come and eat them while they're hot!"

Jianying is back.

When Qi Xu walked out of the room, Qi Dai was already sitting at the dining table, looking at her carefully, which made her feel a little funny.

In front of her family, she is really not good at pretending. This little guy must have noticed at noon that her mood was very unstable today.

"Xuxu, what are you doing standing still? Come and sit down quickly!"

Jianying had long noticed that something was wrong between the siblings, but she still pretended to be too concerned and didn't ask. She just called Qixu over to sit down and eat.

"This is your favorite rice roll with shrimp, and Xiaodai's favorite rice roll with peanut butter..."

"Xu Ji's?"

Qixu actually recognized the familiar aroma as soon as he smelled it, and when he took a bite, it was indeed the smell of the most famous snack bar in Wangshi.

"Yes, I originally went to have afternoon tea with a few students, but we sat there until the evening. Xiao Dai said that you hadn't eaten yet, so he packed a few portions for you and came back!"

Qi Xu followed the words and looked at Qi Dai, only to see him chewing rice rolls with his cheeks puffed out. She was touched by the little guy's thoughtfulness, but also felt a little ashamed. She was so busy venting her anger with Shen Huan that she almost made the little guy starve. , her sister is really incompetent!

"Xiao Dai, don't just eat peanut butter flavor. It's not easy to digest. Eat something with other flavors..."

Qi Xu hurriedly gave him a piece of shrimp rice roll to hide his emotions.

After finally finishing dinner, Qi Dai went back to his room to do his own business. Jian Ying asked Qi Xu tentatively while tidying up with Qi Xu.

"Xuxu, I see that you don't have a good appetite this afternoon. Did something happen?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter, it's nothing..."

Qi Xu said, putting the washed chopsticks into the chopstick holder and replied as if nothing happened.

"Is it really okay?"

Jian Ying did not intend to let her go and continued.

"By the way, Xiao Shen has been on a business trip for a week, and he hasn't come back yet. Are you still in contact?"

Qi Xu's scalp tightened. She just tried to put Shen Huan's matter aside when Jianying brought it up again.

"By the way, I heard from Xiaodai that you are going to have dinner with your friends at noon today. Are you a boy or a girl?"

"Mom, can you stop being such a gossip..."

Qi Xu has a headache. She hasn't said anything yet. Does her mother care about so many things?

"This isn't called gossip. Doesn't mom care about you? Tell me, is it a boy or a girl?"

Jian Ying's eyes were full of curiosity and a narrow sense of good deeds.

Qi Xu knew that he couldn't escape this time, but he was still thinking about the warm cufflinks just now, so he had to "process" his words a little.

"It's a man, but he only came to me because of official duties. Mom, you also know that I have gained some popularity on the Internet recently because I acted on impulse. It is inevitable that some organizations will notice me and want to find me. I went to help them with publicity and stuff. I'm not a celebrity, so I didn't agree in person, and then I came back after lunch..."

"That's right, that's right. My daughter is now the 'Xuxu Heroine.' Hehe, I told my students at noon that they are my daughters. Some of them are still your fans. If not

Mom said you are not a celebrity, and you don’t want to attract too much attention. They even came directly to meet you, take photos with you and ask for your autograph!”

Jian Ying said enthusiastically, with a proud look on her face. This is her daughter, how powerful she is!

Qi Xu held her forehead helplessly. Fortunately, Jian Ying was not one of those star-chasers. Otherwise, with her enthusiasm, even a daughter like her might not be able to bear it.

"What, what did you decide? Mom respects you, but mom really thinks that Xiao Shen is pretty good... If he comes back from a business trip and lets him come to the house for dinner, mom will cook!"

To prevent Jian Ying from talking too much, Qi Xu quickly interrupted her.

"That... let's talk about it later. Mom, you have been out for a long day and are tired. Go to bed early. I will go back to the room first..."

"Eh……"

Jianying wanted to say something else, but when she saw Qixu running back to her room, she had no choice but to give up. She just took out her cell phone and sent a text message.

"Your daughter seems to be in a bad state. Is the guy named Shen reliable?"

There was no reply to the text message, so she sighed and went to do her own thing.

After returning to the room, Zhan Xu waited for a while and then took a shower, intending to sober himself up. However, when he returned to the room, he couldn't help but take out the cufflinks again——

It's still warm!

I soaked the cufflinks in a glass of water before, and when I took them out, they had returned to normal temperature. Why now...

She felt her heartbeat speeding up abnormally.

If Shen Huan just went out for a run, he should be back by now, right?

By the way, her hawthorn cheese hasn’t been sent out yet!

No, no, no, she told Shen Huan that she would only be treated as an ordinary colleague from now on. How could she go back on her word and go find him first?

However, this cufflink tonight is too abnormal. Should I go or not...

"Sister, are you hungry again?"

Qi Dai's voice suddenly woke her up, and she realized that she was standing in front of the refrigerator and staring at the refrigerator door in a daze.

She really didn't eat much in the afternoon. Even the little kid Qi Dai ate four rolls of rice rolls, but she only ate three, but she kept drinking water——

It was precisely because of this that Jian Ying discovered that something was wrong with her today. Whenever she had something on her mind, she would involuntarily pick up the cup and drink sip after sip. Jian Ying knew this.

"Uh...no..."

She was just thinking about how to explain to Qi Dai that she was staring at the refrigerator in a daze, when she saw him holding a spoon in his hand and waving it at her.

"Sister, I happen to be hungry. While you are here, help me get the hawthorn cheese you made during the day. I want to eat it!"

An idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Okay, no problem, but it's impolite to have it all to yourself. Let's go ask mom if she wants to eat..."

The little guy nodded obediently and trotted towards Jian Ying's room, but quickly turned back.

"Mom has to sort out some things, so I won't eat. Sister, will you eat?"

"I, I won't eat..."

"Brother Shen, do you want to eat?"

Qixu was immediately moved to tears. Is this child a roundworm in her stomach?

She was just thinking about how to say this!

"I don't know, why don't you ask him?"

"Oh, sister, please come with me. It's not safe for me to go out alone..."

When she heard Qi Dai's words, she almost stumbled and fell against the refrigerator door.

Just upstairs and downstairs, isn’t it safe?

"Xiao Dai, you are a little man, you can do it alone!"

She tried her best to encourage with a smile.

"Then why don't you, sister, follow me and not show up?"

The little guy said pitifully.

"You really want me to follow you?"

Qi Xu thought that the little guy had only practiced with Qi Yue twice, so he must have understood the gap between himself and adults, so he was so unconfident, so although she asked this, she had actually decided to follow him.

"Well, sister, let's go!"

"good."

She took it out of the refrigerator and made it at noon

The sealed jar didn't weigh too much, so Qi Dai wouldn't feel any pressure when holding it by herself, but the process of handing it over to Qi Dai made her feel extremely difficult.

If Shen Huan is at home, he should be fine. If not...

"Sister, let's go!"

Qixu had no choice but to follow the instructions.

Shen Huan lived downstairs, so they didn't need to take the elevator and just walked downstairs.

She was standing in the stairwell on the sixth floor, watching Qi Dai ring the doorbell of Shen Huan's house through a door stop.

"Brother Shen, are you at home?"

"Brother Shen, I have something delicious to share with you. My sister asked me to bring it to you!"
