Li Hanyan believed it and didn't think much about it, "Xingxing, is your second uncle back?"
"… I'm back. I just got home." When she mentioned him, Song Zhixing felt even more guilty. As if she was afraid that the other party would notice something was wrong, she added, "Um, auntie, are you looking for your second uncle? He's not asleep yet. How about I ask him to answer the phone?"
Li Hanyan laughed, "Okay, it's so late now. If I want to find him, can I still call you? Your second uncle doesn't like people who are too proactive. You have to give me some face."
"Oh." Song Zhixing discovered that, in fact, his aunt knew his second uncle better than he did.
Does he not like people who are too proactive? This was the first time she knew this. However, in all these years, she had never seen Tang Yu bring any woman home, so she really had no idea what kind of woman he liked.
"There is one more thing—" Li Hanyan continued, her voice always gentle, "I know you want to bring me and your second uncle together, but things like today, where you use our names to send gifts to each other, are too lame. You can't even hide it from me, do you think you can hide it from your second uncle? Next time, don't bother us."
"Well, I won't do it next time."
"Be good. You're going to take the exam soon, so just worry about your own business. Leave your second uncle to me. I'll work hard to make him your uncle, how about that?"
Song Zhixing hugged the pillow tightly in his arms.
Uncle...
Second uncle
"Why are you not talking?" Li Hanyan asked again when she didn't hear an answer.
Song Zhixing suddenly came back to his senses and twitched his lips, "Of course, auntie, then you have to work hard, I... I'm still waiting to change my words."
After that, Song Zhixing had forgotten what the two talked about, and her heart was in a mess. After hanging up the phone, she thought of Tang Yu and Li Hanyan.
Yes, my second uncle belongs to my aunt, and sooner or later he will become her uncle-in-law.
So what was she doing tonight? Why didn't she reject him or even hate his touch? This was totally wrong!
A strong sense of self-blame weighed on her heart like a huge rock, making her toss and turn in sleep.

The next day.
When Song Zhixing woke up, it was already completely light.
She couldn't fall asleep last night, and when she finally fell asleep, it was already two or three in the middle of the night. So, she woke up a little later today.
After she finished washing up, she yawned lazily, opened the door, and was about to go downstairs for breakfast.
Just as she walked out, the door of the master bedroom opposite was suddenly opened from the inside. Song Zhixing was stunned. The passion and shyness that could melt people last night continued to this moment. She subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late.
Tang Yu came out in a formal suit, holding documents in his hand. In contrast, she, who was still in her pajamas, looked very embarrassed.
Besides, he had already seen her.
"Awake?" Tang Yu spoke first, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Song Zhixing was very uncomfortable, with her head down, her hands pinching the edge of her nightgown, and she only uttered "hmm". For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Tang Yu's eyes lingered over her, his smile faded, and his voice became deeper, "Go change your clothes and then go downstairs to eat!"
Song Zhixing lowered her head and glanced at her clothes, suddenly remembering what he said last night about her seducing him. Her face immediately turned red, and she turned around and walked back stiffly. Every step was stiff, and she looked like a little puppet.
Tang Yu found it quite funny to see her shy and embarrassed look.
ten minutes later.
When Tang Yu was flipping through documents in the hall, Song Zhixing had already appeared downstairs, neatly dressed.
"Miss, are you awake?" Sister Li greeted her.
"… Yeah." Song Zhixing just lowered his head and walked towards the restaurant, treating him as a transparent person. While talking to Sister Li, "It's so late. Sister Li, why didn't you wake me up?"
"The Second Master said that you must not have slept well last night and he didn't want us to disturb you. So, I didn't call you."
When Song Zhixing mentioned that person, she subconsciously glanced back at him. At this moment, Tang Yu was still sitting in the hall, concentrating on the documents. Fortunately, he did not notice her gaze.
She quickly looked away like a thief.
What he said was absolutely correct, she did not sleep well. Moreover, she slept very badly!
But, can she sleep well? The two of them did something outrageous last night. If she hadn't called a halt, she didn't dare to think about how far it would have gone.
But looking at him, he seemed to be in good spirits and it was obvious that he had slept very well.
I'm afraid she was the only one who suffered from all kinds of psychological torture last night!
He was probably very familiar with this kind of thing. Maybe he didn't take it to heart at all.
Song Zhixing was speculating, but ended up getting angry at the result of his own speculation.
—
Because it was long past breakfast time and Tang Yu had already eaten, Song Zhixing sat alone in the restaurant to eat.
From time to time, she would look into the hall.
He didn't leave and was still sitting on the sofa.
"Miss, where do you see the Second Master? His neck almost looks like a giraffe." Sister Li joked with a smile.
"I didn't look at him." Song Zhixing felt inexplicably guilty and denied it. He quickly retracted his gaze.
Sister Li just smiled and didn't expose her.
Song Zhixing lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of porridge. He couldn't help but said, "Sister Li, isn't my second uncle going to the company today? Why is he still sitting at home?"
"I don't know about that. You know, I don't dare to ask about the Second Master's affairs. But do you want him to go to the company, or not?"
"Of course I am..."
"Second Master!" Before she finished her words, Sister Li had already greeted him respectfully at the door. Song Zhixing looked up and saw that the person they were talking about just now appeared at the door of the restaurant.
"What are you talking about?" He held the water cup, his eyes swept across Song Zhixing's face, but the question was directed at Sister Li.
"The young lady just asked me if the Second Master is not going to the company today." Before Song Zhixing could stop her, Sister Li had already answered honestly.
Tang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Zhixing, and asked in a low voice: "Why? Are you concerned about my whereabouts?"
Song Zhixing was embarrassed. Sister Li was talking too fast!
"How could I have that?" She said stubbornly, "I... I'm just curious, just asking casually."
Tang Yu didn't dwell on this topic with her, but just said, "After eating, come to the study."
"... Study?" Song Zhixing was so shocked that he emphasized these two words.
He looked at her reaction with amusement. There was something meaningful in her eyes. "What's that expression on your face? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
Song Zhixing was drinking soup, and his words made her cough violently. He... He actually said such ambiguous words in front of Sister Li! And he was so calm!
