Lin Zhiyi caught a glimpse of the movements of his hands from the corner of her eye, raised her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
Only then did Xiao Ci realize that he was lovelorn. He relaxed the tight lines on his face and said, "It's okay."
"Aren't you curious about my brother?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"I've seen it online." Xiao Ci said lightly.
"Then don't be scared. Although he looks very serious and is not good at words, he is actually a very nice person. The most important thing is that he loves me." When Lin Zhiyan was mentioned, Lin Zhiyi's face showed a happy expression unconsciously.
.
It was full of admiration and respect, but it was very dazzling in Xiao Ci's eyes.
"Do you have a good relationship?" Xiao Ci asked.
"Of course, he is my brother." Isn't his question strange?
Xiao Ci said nothing.
"What about you? Who is there at home? It seems that except for Tang Xingxu, I have never heard of you mentioning it." Lin Zhiyi did not notice his abnormality and continued to ask, taking the opportunity to know more about Xiao Ci.
"No more." Xiao Ci said.
"What?" Lin Zhiyi didn't react for a moment, or thought he understood it wrong.
"My parents died when I was a teenager, and my grandmother passed away later." No one knew how much self-control Xiao Ci used to make his words sound so calm.
"Then-" Lin Zhiyi wanted to ask something else.
He said, "There is only one aunt in Nancheng, and she is Tang Xingxu's mother."
This last sentence is a bit urgent, with a little bit of betrayed emotion.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, and even though she was not aware of it, she still felt something was wrong with Xiao Ci.
"Lin Zhiyi, let's not talk about this, okay?" Xiao Ci looked at her.
Not only was it annoying for him to mention Lin Zhiyan and the Lin family, but it was also annoying for her to mention her own family, as if they were the only ones in such an environment.
"Okay." Lin Zhiyi only thought that he was sad because of the death of his family and didn't think much about it.
The rest of the meal was a bit depressing because Xiao Ci had been silent and Lin Zhiyi wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.
While Xiao Ci was cleaning up in the kitchen, Lin Zhiyan called.
Lin Zhiyi intuitively felt that it would affect Xiao Xi's mood even more, so he hung up, and then sent him a WeChat message, lying that he was accompanying a client.
Lin Zhiyan probably thought that it was not appropriate for her to chat with him when she was accompanying her client, so he just told her to drink less, ask her family driver to pick her up after the meeting, and pay attention to safety.
Lin Zhiyi agreed one by one.
After hanging up the phone, he went to the kitchen, where Xiao Ci was still washing dishes.
She hugged his waist from behind, rested her head on his broad back, and said, "I'm sorry."
She didn't expect that his life experience would be like this. No wonder he was so kind to Tang Xingxu. She thought he must have suffered a lot of grievances since childhood. Therefore, the happier she appeared, the more irritated he would be.
It took Xiao Ci a while to control his emotions, wiped his hands and turned around, saying, "Fool, you didn't do anything wrong."
This is actually true. Lin Zhiyi did nothing wrong. The only mistake was that she was from the Lin family.
Of course, he would never say this.
"You don't have to envy others. I will be with you in everything from now on. Although I can't cook, I won't let you be alone." Lin Zhiyi thought that he should need such warmth.
"Yeah." Xiao Ci responded and couldn't help but kiss her.
Lin Zhiyi hid: "You have a fever, don't infect it to me——"
But his lips still fell on hers, and he kissed her for a long time. When he let her go, Lin Zhiyi's legs were weak and she was leaning against his arms.
Xiao Ci's voice came from above his head, saying: "I can't help it."
She blushed until she noticed that it was late, then she pushed him away and said, "I'm going home."
"Didn't you just say you wanted to accompany me?"
"But it's too late. My brother will call to check on her." Every time she has entertainment, even if he is out of town, he will check on her at 11 o'clock to see if she has arrived home safely.
Xiao Ci looked at the woman in his arms and really wanted to just sleep with her and then send it to him on his own initiative without Lin Zhiyan checking the post.
But reason told Xiao Ci that now was not the time.
He had no choice but to let go of Lin Zhiyi and said, "Okay, I'll see you off."
"No, you're still sick. I can drive back by myself." Lin Zhiyi declined.
"Can I at least take you to the car?" Xiao Cique said.
In order to fit his personality, he rented this dilapidated community with almost no security factor.
Before he takes revenge, he naturally can't let anything happen to Lin Zhiyi.
"Okay." Lin Zhiyi had no choice but to agree.
The two of them went downstairs and reluctantly talked for a while before Lin Zhiyi got in the car.
Xiao Ci stood there, watching her car disappear from sight. Instead of leaving in a hurry, he took a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.
The night swallowed up his entire face, and it was not difficult to see his emotions clearly, only the starry red twinkling.
It wasn't until he finished smoking the entire cigarette that he threw away the cigarette butt and turned around, only to see a young girl standing behind him. She seemed to have been looking at him silently for a long time.
Wearing a long white dress with very light makeup on her face, she looked like a blooming orchid in the night.
