Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xue Xi stared at Xiang Huai silently for a long time and asked, “Did I promise you this before I lost my memory?”
Xiang Huai paused and said, “This is… Of course not.”
The little kid had long known what the so-called balloon was for, so how could she have agreed? Xiang Huai knew very well that being impatient could not make one eat hot tofu any quicker. He was not anxious about the little kid and would take it slow.
Xue Xi, who was already prepared to attack, slowly lowered her raised hand when she heard this. If this fellow had dared to say yes, she would definitely have hit him.
How could she have agreed to that?
Moreover, she did not even remember agreeing to the first two things. After all, before she got injured or unconscious, how could she have agreed to this guy’s invitation to a date where she’d have to waste an entire day?
However, he kept in mind that his girlfriend was indeed down for the count. She happened to be in need of rest and should not study, so she’d agreed.
As they chatted, they arrived at the Xue family home.
It was the weekend and Xue Xi was going home to stay. If she did not go back, Ye Li would definitely be worried.
When they reached the neighborhood, Xue Xi alighted. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Xiang Huai call her. “Little kid.”
Xue Xi paused and turned around.
Xiang Huai smiled. “Don’t think about studying today.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Xiang Huai added, “Remember to miss me.”
“…”
Xue Xi looked at him seriously.
The man’s deep facial features became even more determined under the street lamp, but his eyes were deep and bright. The stars in the sky seemed to dim in comparison.
This person’s eyes were really bright.
Xue Xi nodded. After she entered the residence, Xiang Huai started the car and left.
However, after Xiang Huai left, Xue Xi walked back out and quietly looked at the back of Xiang Huai’s black car. The mist in her large eyes intensified, and her heart became even more confused.
Xiang Huai knew about the existence of espers, so was he an esper?
However, if he was an esper, why didn’t he work in the special department? If he wasn’t an esper, why would Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi be so polite to him?
Xue Xi could not figure it out and simply picked up her phone to send Omnipotent Boss a WeChat message: “Teacher, do you know Xiang Huai’s ident.i.ty?”
After sending this message, she went upstairs.
She opened the door and happened to see Ye Li preparing dinner. When she saw her, she smiled and said, “Looking at the time, I thought you should be home soon. I’ve made chicken soup for you. Does it smell good?”
Xue Xi took a sniff and detected a fragrance in the air. She nodded. “Smells good.”
“Then go to your room and clean up. Change your clothes, wash your hands, and come out for soup!”
Xue Xi returned to her room and looked at her phone. She realized that Omnipotent Boss had yet to reply, so she changed into her home clothes and washed her hands before leaving.
Just as she left, she heard the door open and Xue Sheng return home.
At this moment, Ye Li also walked out with a small bowl of chicken soup.
Xue Sheng changed out of his shoes and said when he saw Ye Li, “How fragrant! Honey, are you really in such a hurry to make me drink soup?”
After saying that, he reached out to take the bowl from Ye Li.
Ye Li turned around and avoided his hand. She chided, “If you want to drink it, scoop some yourself. This is Xixi’s!”
Xue Sheng: “?”
Although he was already used to it, his wife would really not be able to have eyes for him the moment his daughter returned home. This was too sad!
If he were a petty man, he would feel jealous of his daughter.
Seeing Xue Sheng’s aggrieved expression, Xue Xi said, “Mom, why don’t you give this bowl to Dad?”
Ye Li shot a sharp glance at Xue Sheng.
Xue Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand. “No need. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to digest it!”
Ye Li: “…That’s right. He has hands and legs. Can’t he scoop a bowl for himself?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She silently looked at her own hands and feet and took the soup from Ye Li. Xue Sheng also walked into their room, planning to change and wash his hands.
Just as he reached the door, he heard his wife whisper to his daughter, “Hurry up and drink it. The chicken I bought today is a little small. This bowl of soup contains its essence. I added some more water afterward, but that soup is not as thick.”
Xue Sheng: “…”
Xue Xi watched in amus.e.m.e.nt as Xue Sheng entered the room to change. After taking a sip of the soup, she pa.s.sed it to Ye Li. “Mom, have a sip too.”
Ye Li took a sip and pushed it to her. “Drink it quickly. Mom can drink it at home every day.”
“…Okay.”
Actually, when Xue Xi woke up earlier, her limbs were a little cold. Even her body felt cold, as though she was in an iceberg.
However, after drinking the hot soup that night, her abdomen warmed up and even her mood became warm.
After drinking the soup, she pa.s.sed the bowl to Ye Li. At this moment, her phone rang. She lowered her head and realized that Omnipotent Boss had replied to her message.
