He did not leave in a hurry, but walked to a car parked in a remote place.
When he opened the door and sat in, Li Shuhuai was pressing his cell phone anxiously. When he saw him appearing, he was stunned for a moment and called: "Mr. Xiao."
"Yeah." Xiao Ciying.
"Are you injured?" Li Shuhuai noticed the injury at the corner of his lip.
"It's okay." Xiao Ci said calmly.
"Is it Lin Zhiyan?" Li Shuhuai asked.
"Have you seen him?" Xiao Ci then raised his eyes and looked at him.
"Well, when he entered Ms. Lin's apartment area, I called you, but I didn't get through." Li Shuhuai explained.
Xiao Ci frowned, took out his phone and looked at it, and sure enough, the screen was black.
Li Shuhuai wanted to ask what was going on now, but seeing what Xiao Ci was thinking about, he didn't dare to speak out for a while.
Xiao Ci also kept waiting until Lin Zhiyan came down from upstairs soon and watched him drive away.
"After meeting today, he will definitely check on me. Is the school ready?" Xiao Ci asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao." Li Shuhuai replied.
Xiao Ci nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
Li Shuhuai gave the driver a look, and then the car slowly drove away...
--Dividing line--
After Lin Zhiyan went out, Lin Zhiyi was still worried about Xiao Ci, so she quickly changed her clothes and followed him out.
Thinking in his mind that it was his fault for his brother to take action, and he "driven" Xiao Ci out of the house.
Although it was probably to protect him, I don't know if Xiao Ci could understand it.
When he arrived at the door of his rented house, he rang the doorbell for a long time but no one responded.
Was she angry with her brother? Or was she angry with herself? She felt that Xiao Ci should not be such a stingy person.
Is there something else?
Thinking like this, I remembered that I should have called him first after taking so long. I was so busy.
Lin Zhiyi spurned herself and found Xiao Ci's phone number to call, but the other end prompted her to turn off her phone.
Is your phone out of battery?
He spent the night at his own place last night, so it was normal that he didn't have time to recharge, but he didn't have any cash on him. It was a long way from his apartment to here, so how could he get back?
Are you still on the way?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi hurried downstairs and drove the car along the return route to look for it.
The speed of the car was very slow, and she was afraid of missing every figure on the road.
After going back and forth for a while, my eyes were dazzled, but there was still no trace of Xiao Ci.
It’s been so long, it’s time to walk back.
Although he knew it in his heart, it still felt uncomfortable to imagine him with his bare upper body and slippers on his feet, enduring other people's strange looks.
Lin Zhiyi began to regret, regretting driving him out like that.
She should have held Xiao Ci's arm and told her brother firmly that Xiao Ci was the person she recognized, so that his self-esteem might not be frustrated.
The more Lin Zhiyi thought about it, the more angry she became with herself, angry that she couldn't handle her family affairs well, and even more angry that she couldn't find Xiao Ci.
Finally, I lay on the steering wheel in frustration, not knowing what to do. I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly knocked twice on the window.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously raised his face from the steering wheel and saw Xiao Ci's handsome face appearing outside the window.
She quickly unlocked the car, and Xiao Ci opened the door and asked, "How long have you been here -"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyi suddenly hugged his neck.
The strong emotion on her body hadn't dissipated yet, just sticking to him like that made Xiao Ci feel something strange in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ci asked, trying to pull her hand down.
Lin Zhiyi didn't let go or speak, she just buried her face in his shoulder and hugged him like that.
At that moment, Xiao Ci had the feeling that even the "frank meeting" moment last night seemed not as close as she felt to him at this moment.
The unfamiliar feelings made Xiao Ci panic. He calmed himself down and tried to call: "Lin Zhiyi?"
Lin Zhiyi took a while to calm down, then let go of him and asked, "Where have you been?"
Although she didn't cry, her eye circles were still red.
"Walking around." Xiao Ci replied.
"Is the phone battery out of battery?" Lin Zhiyi asked again.
"Yeah." Xiao Ci nodded.
"I thought you -" Lin Zhiyi looked at him and changed his clothes. Apparently, she was scaring herself for what she had just imagined.
After all, he is an adult and can still find ways to solve problems.
Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but start laughing at herself, which was inexplicable.
Xiao Ci realized that she was so excited just now because she was worried about herself...
"Fool." Xiao Ci rubbed her hair, his voice was soft and endearing that he had never noticed.
Lin Zhiyi's thoughts were seen through. Although she felt embarrassed, she still snuggled into his arms and explained: "I really didn't mean to chase you away. I was afraid that you and my brother would fight."
Of course Xiao Ci knew that, since he was not really a poor student without a father or mother, he naturally had no reason to say that his self-esteem was frustrated.
But at this moment he still wanted to ask: "Then if I really fight back, will you side with me or your brother?"
Perhaps he asked too seriously. Lin Zhiyi, who was always smart, forgot to act coquettishly and just looked at him blankly for a long time, unable to say a word.
"Are you on your brother's side?" Xiao Ci already had his own answer.
After all, Lin Zhiyan is Lin Zhiyi's biological brother and has loved her for more than twenty years. It would be overestimating his ability to try to compete with Lin Zhiyan in her heart for just a few days.
But when he realized this, Xiao Ci was still extremely unhappy.
He only thought it was because of the mention of Lin Zhiyan, but did not go into details, or because even so, he still wanted to get some favoritism from her.
"Xiao Ci, I can't encourage you to hit my brother, but if he strikes again next time, I will protect you." Lin Zhiyi said seriously and solemnly.
