"After coming back from Fanli Town, they both resigned at the same time." Zheng Shuang's voice was very low. "The deterioration of their relationship should have started at that time."
Li Qing frowned, suddenly raised her head and stared straight at the enigmatic girl in front of her: "do you have such doubts about the disappearance of the Dean..."
"Dinner is ready." Yang Xi Xi's cry came from the kitchen. "Xiao Shuang, come and help me drag out the table."
"Ah, it's coming." Zheng Shuang answered and immediately glanced at Li Qing. "Don't tell others, especially don't regret that I told you this."
"Don't worry, I understand." Li Qing stretched out his hand and covered his mouth.
"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Zheng Shuang smiled at Li Qinglu's teeth and turned to the kitchen to help Yang Xixi.
Yang Xixi's cooking skills are really extraordinary. When Li Qing faced the exquisite dishes on the table, he couldn't help exclaiming: "it's really good. It's full of color, smell and fragrance."
"You haven't eaten yet. Don't be busy praising me." Yang Xixi handed the dishes and chopsticks to Li Qing. "Are you hungry?"
Li Qing said with a smile, "I wasn't hungry at first, but now I'm really hungry."
"Forget it, you are the owner of the Li family. You are a high-ranking person. You don't know how much you have eaten. You can still see my four dishes and one soup?" Yang Xi turned his eyes. "Cushion your stomach. This is my highest level."
"I praise you sincerely. Don't belittle yourself."
The three people talked and laughed, and the meal was quite harmonious.
After dinner, Li Qing took the initiative to brush the dishes.
"True or false?" Yang Xi Xi stared round her beautiful eyes and stared at Li Qing in disbelief. "Can you still brush the dishes?"
"Are you kidding? You don't look down on people like that." Li Qing slightly disdained and glanced. "It's natural that you cook and I wash the dishes."
Zheng Shuang hugged Yang Xixi and shook: "Hey, it's natural for me to eat for nothing."
"Don't be shy." Yang Xixi stretched out his jade finger and poked Zheng Shuang's small nose.
Li Qing set up the table in the corner and waved to the two people: "go and have a rest. Give me the kitchen."
"You're welcome, Master Li works hard." Zheng Shuang waved to Li Qing, then took Yang Xixi and ran into the living room. The two girls sat on the sofa and chattered like two lively sparrows.
"Alas, there's still a topic for women to talk about." Li Qing glanced out of the kitchen, took back her eyes and dipped the plate into the pool
When Li Qing finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, Zheng Shuang had stood up, picked up his bag and was ready to go out.
"Are you leaving now?" Li Qing asked.
"Yes, it's too much to eat and drink for nothing. I'm sorry to bother you both all the time." Zheng Shuang joked with a smile, "and I still have a manuscript that hasn't been proofread. I'll hand it in next week."
Yang Xixi stretched out his hand and pulled at Zheng Shuang's waist: "you are busy with work. Where can you find some messy and annoying excuses..."
"It's true to be busy with work, and it's also true not to disturb you two..." Zheng Shuang turned his head and winked meaningfully at Yang Xixi.
"You really hate it." Yang Xixi smiled and got up to chase Zheng Shuang. The latter had already run to the door and waved to Li Qing and Yang Xixi, "goodbye."
Li Qing said, "let me see you off. It's not safe recently."
"Oh, yes." Yang Xi nodded again and again. "You should be more careful when a girl walks at night."
"Don't worry, you'd better care about yourself." Zheng Shuang turned a big white eye, and then gently nodded at Li Qing, "that's troublesome for you."
"It doesn't matter." Li Qing smiled, waved his hand and followed Zheng Shuang out of the door.
"Wait for me to come back." after giving an explanation, Li Qing took the door, and Yang Xi's pretty cheeks flashed through the gradually closed door.
"Ah, it's a blessing to be escorted all the way by Master Li." Zheng Shuang walked down the stairs and opened his hands. "I'm so full tonight. I have to get fat again."
Li Qing followed him silently and raised her head when she heard Zheng Shuang's words: "are girls afraid of getting fat?"
"Of course." Zheng Shuang replied quite simply, "do you men like a fat girl these years?"
"I don't know." Li Qing gently shook his head, "but when you say so, the girls I like seem to be very thin and pitifully thin. Sometimes I really wish they could be a little fat."
"Tut tut." Zheng Shuang turned his head to look at Li Qing, raised his hand and made a shooting gesture, "I've decided that the hero in the next book is based on you, which is an ideal gentle president. Er... But in my book, the last to hold the beauty back are domineering men, and most of your gentleness are spare tires..."
Li Qing shook his head, feeling that he could brush three views again when chatting with the girl in front of him.
"What you told me tonight..."
"I know so much," Zheng Shuang replied quickly, "and I just heard that I can't guarantee the authenticity."
"Oh." Li Qing nodded and didn't say anything more.
He took Zheng Shuang downstairs, and the two walked along the street.
Zheng Shuang raised his hand to hit a taxi and waved to Li Qing: "I'm leaving. Go back."
"Wait, let me see the license plate number." Li Qing went around to the front of the car and wrote down the license plate number of the taxi. Then he nodded at Zheng Shuang, "let's go. Bye."
"How careful." Zheng Shuang stares at Li Qing, "I like you more and more."
She opened the door, got into the taxi and left.
Li Qingmu sent her away. Then he put his hands in his pockets and bowed his head and walked back silently. He went downstairs and suddenly looked up at the opposite building.
"The fourth floor, the fifth floor, the sixth floor..." Li Qing murmured, facing the window of Yang Xi's house, it was still dark.
His eyes sank slightly, and Li Qing turned and went upstairs.
He walked four floors all the way, but he suddenly had a meal under his feet. At this time, Li Qing heard another sound of footsteps besides himself.
Li Qing listened carefully. The real footsteps suddenly disappeared after he stopped.
With her palm gently on the handrail, Li Qing tried to slow down and walked upstairs quietly.
He went up to the fifth floor and looked up. At the corner of the stairs, a seven or eight year old boy was standing there quietly, looking at himself without blinking. The dim yellow light cast a small shadow under him, which looked very strange in the narrow corridor.
Li Qing was slightly stunned and immediately recognized that the little boy lived in No. 601 and had seen him not long ago. According to his mother, it was this little guy who first found the blood fingerprints on Yang Xixi's door.
"Little friend?" Li Qing called tentatively, "little brother, will your uncle ask you some questions?"
The little boy didn't speak. He just stared at Li Qing and blinked slightly.
The two men looked at each other for a while. Li Qing found that the little guy's eyes calmed down a lot, and he was not as scared as when he first met him. He felt that the relationship between the two people should have eased, so he took a slight step upward: "don't be afraid, uncle is a good man and won't hurt you..."
The little boy suddenly trembled, suddenly turned around and ran upstairs. After a while, there was a loud sound of closing the door.
It's easy for Li Qing to catch him at such a short distance, but he can't shoot a frightened child.
"Alas." reluctantly shook his head. Li Qingzhi got up and sighed gently. If the child had to treat himself as a bad person, Li Qing would have nothing to do.
Li Qing slowly went upstairs and stood in front of Yang Xixi's house. She heard a woman's angry scolding from Room 601.
"Little bastard, have you finished your homework? Just run out and play!"
"Every time I sneak out when I'm not paying attention. Next time I'll break your leg! Get out and do your homework!"
"Violent parents." Li Qing sighed and knocked on Yang Xixi's door.
After waiting for a while, the door was slowly opened. Yang Xixi, with a white face, appeared at the door: "Xiao Shuang is gone?"
"Well, I just saw you off. Don't worry." Li Qing flashed into the room and changed a pair of slippers at the door.
Yang Xixi went back to the sofa and sat down, sipping his small mouth and said, "it's all my fault. Such a big person is always causing trouble. Xiao Shuang is actually very busy these days. If her book can't be submitted on time, it's estimated that she won't be able to catch up with the publication. She really doesn't trust me today, so she took the time to catch up..."
"It's really lucky to have such a good friend." Li Qing sat down next to Yang Xixi. "Is that man still calling you?"
Yang Xixi picked up the mobile phone on the tea table and shook it in front of Li Qing: "I have opened the blacklist, but he hasn't called again until now. He called when I was waiting for you in the car this afternoon."
"You didn't answer?"
"No answer."
"This guy is really persistent. You haven't answered so many calls, but you still keep playing tirelessly. His character should belong to the kind of paranoid."
"But he hasn't called again for hours."
"Strange." Li Qing frowned gently, reached out and rubbed his chin. "Does he know I'm at your house, so he won't call?"
Yang Xi hesitated for a moment before carefully opening his mouth: "then you say... Will we have angered him?"
"It's entirely possible." Li Qing nodded. "If this person is really as paranoid as I imagined, he should always do something extraordinary. Come on."
