004
Yan Xingzhi moved out of the house very early and lived alone.
The car drove past the road that Bai Xiaoxi had ambushed that day, and was planted with phoenix trees, and soon arrived at his residence.
There were still people awake in the room, the auntie who was taking care of him when he was young. After he moved out, Sister Lin followed him and continued to take care of his life.
Yan Xingzhi brought Bai Xiaoxi into the door, took off his coat and said, "Sister Lin, please tidy up a guest room."
He had a bit of work temporarily, so he just turned his head and nodded to Bai Xiaoxi, "I still have a bit of work to do. I'll discuss your affairs in detail tomorrow. You need to tell Mrs. Lin what you need. Don't be restrained. Go to bed early and good night."
When he was done he went upstairs.
Sister Lin couldn't tell whether it was surprise or joy, and stared blankly at Bai Xiaoxi.
Bai Xiaoxi also stared at her blankly. When she remembered that she had to say hello, she said shyly, "Hello, auntie, my name is Bai Xiaoxi, the stream of the stream. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Sister Lin suddenly came back to her senses, and greeted people with a smile on her face: "Don't disturb, don't disturb, come and sit, Xiaoxi's name is really nice."
Bai Xiaoxi also likes her name, which her mother gave her.
It is said that when the mother entrusted her to the master, it was a snowy day, the sky and the earth were white, the birds and beasts returned to their nests, the sun and the moon were hidden, and all sounds were silent. Only the stream at the foot of Mingshan Mountain was still in the ice. Underneath it flowed forward happily, ding ding dong dong, ding ding dong dong, they were always laughing and carefree.
The mother said to the master, "This child should be called Xiaoxi."
She was young at the time and didn't remember anything. It was Weiwei who told her.
"What would Xiaoxi like to drink? There are fresh oranges and strawberries in the refrigerator. How about aunty squeeze a glass of juice for you? Are you hungry? Would you like a late-night snack? The shrimp dumplings just made in the afternoon are fresh." Mrs. Lin greeted she.
She spoke a little fast, like pouring beans, Bai Xiaoxi said dumbly: "Orange juice..."
"Hey! The orange juice is coming soon!" Sister Lin placed her on the sofa and rushed to the kitchen.
"...Thank you, Auntie." Bai Xiaoxi spit out the second half of the sentence into the air.
Sister Lin quickly brought out a glass of orange juice, as well as a fruit plate of strawberries and cherries, and said, "The water is already boiling. You can eat some fruit first. I'll go to the guest room to have a look."
The guest room is cleaned frequently, and the bedding and pillows are readily available. She confirmed that nothing was missed, and went to the kitchen to see the fire.
A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxi sat at the dining table eating dumplings, and politely stopped Sister Lin from continuing to move food out of the refrigerator.
Although she loves to eat, she really can't eat that much.
Yan Xingzhi didn't like to be lively, and there were very few guests at home, let alone the night, that's why Sister Lin was so enthusiastic.
Moreover, she has been taking care of Yan Xing for so long, and she has long since regarded him as her own junior. Seeing that he has been alone all these years, she is also secretly anxious, and suddenly she has brought a little girl back, isn't she overexcited.
If it wasn't for the worry that it was late and that she would disturb the rest of the guests, she would definitely have a good talk with them.
Bai Xiaoxi asked Sister Lin to feed her a belly of food before being taken to the guest room to rest.
She sank into the soft quilt, touched her belly, and sighed contentedly.
"Baby, are you there?"
"Yes," the system replied quickly, scanned the surrounding environment, and expressed surprise at the progress, "You have settled in the target's home? Not bad, well done, as expected of coming out of Mingshan."
Bai Xiaoxi was embarrassed to praise him, "Actually, I didn't do anything..." Not only did he not do it, he also ate someone's cake.
"Just do nothing." The system is decisive, isn't it the most deadly to be invisible and provocative
He opened his mouth to make a fool of himself: "You haven't watched those martial arts dramas. The real masters, the martial arts masters, have no tricks to win. That's amazing! In short, you continue to maintain, let's strive for the next step to settle in the target's heart."
"Okay." Bai Xiaoxi seemed to understand, but she was sleepy and couldn't think of such a complicated problem. She rubbed her head against the pillow and yawned, "Good night, eighty-eight."
She slept well. She woke up early the next day and washed up in the room. When she went out, she found that Mrs. Lin was earlier than her.
In addition to Sister Lin, there were several other people in the room, all busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner.
"Xiaoxi is awake? Are you hungry? Breakfast is hot, let's see what you want to eat."
When Yan Xingzhi went downstairs, while still on the stairs, she heard Sister Lin's overly enthusiastic voice.
"Xiaoxi, how about this custard bun? The custard filling is made at home."
"Would you like to have some porridge? Porridge for breakfast is good for digestion."
"Do you eat shumai? And crab meat ravioli."
Seeing him come down, Sister Lin smiled and went to the kitchen to serve his breakfast.
Bai Xiaoxi's cheeks were bulging, he swallowed hard, and greeted him softly, "Good morning."
"Morning." Yan Xingzhi nodded, the room was warm, he was not wearing a suit jacket, only a smoky gray shirt, tucked into the suit pants, more and more broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and straight, "I slept last night. How about it?"
Bai Xiaoxi nodded, "Very good, the bed is soft and the quilt is very warm."
After a pause, he asked politely, "Are you going to bed late?"
She remembered that it was late when she came back yesterday, and he still had work to do.
"It's not too late." Yan Xingzhi walked to the main seat and sat down.
Sister Lin brought his breakfast. This time, she didn't stop. She just smiled at Bai Xiaoxi and continued to work.
Bai Xiaoxi found that although Yan Xingzhi looked very gentle, as soon as he appeared, the people in the room did not dare to talk or laugh at will, and they seemed to be a little afraid of him.
In this way, it is normal for her to be timid about him occasionally. Everyone is like this. She just follows the trend, not because of timidity.
Yan Xingzhi took a sip of warm water, saw her round eyes, and wondered what she was thinking.
"About last night's proposal, let's go to the study and talk after breakfast."
"All right."
After breakfast, Bai Xiaoxi followed Yan Xingzhi upstairs to his study.
Yan Xingzhi asked her to sit across from the desk, took out a document from a drawer that had been prepared at an unknown time, and said, "I will hire you as my personal assistant. You can take a look at the work first."
Bai Xiaoxi took it over and read it carefully. Although she had already recognized all the words, she couldn't understand the meaning of some nouns immediately, so it was a little slow to read. Fortunately, there was a system that could help her check.
In short, this is a labor contract, and Yan Xingzhi asked her to be a fake partner in order to cope with the elders in the family, and at the same time pay her the corresponding remuneration.
In the car last night, he had an idea in his heart: Maybe Gong Yifei's idea was not a bad idea.
Since he didn't feel bored, it wasn't unacceptable to follow the trend. Maybe she could really help him solve some minor troubles.
After Bai Xiaoxi read it, in her opinion, the contract was that Yan Xingzhi would give her a place to live, food, and money.
There is no one better than him!
She had no objection and immediately signed her name.
Yan Xingzhi also signed and said, "If you have time, you can think about how to respond to possible inquiries from the elders. Another point is that this contract is a secret and cannot be disclosed to others."
Bai Xiaoxi nodded again and again.
After signing the contract, she went downstairs to inspect the garden. This is her future work place.
The garden of Yan Xingzhi is not small. The iron fence circles a large area. The walls are full of roses. They climb up the wall along the iron fence.
In addition, there are many other flower species, and even in winter, many flowers are in bloom.
When Yan Xingzhi went out, Mrs. Lin was looking at the garden through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and said to him with a smile, "That child in Xiaoxi understands health well, so he went for a walk after breakfast."
Yan Xingzhi glanced at it, and the figure in the garden appeared and disappeared between the flowers and trees.
After Bai Xiaoxi patrolled the garden and returned to the house, Sister Lin discussed today's recipe with the chef in the kitchen.
Seeing her come in, Sister Lin came over and said with a smile, "Xingzhi won't go home at noon. We decide what to eat for lunch. Does Xiaoxi want to eat?"
Bai Xiaoxi said, "I eat everything."
She is very well cared for.
"Eat everything well, not picky eaters can be healthy." Sister Lin took her to the balcony, where refreshments were already placed on the balcony table.
Sister Lin had been holding back the words last night, but today she finally had the opportunity to ask, "Xiaoxi, how did you and Xingzhi know each other?"
When Bai Xiaoxi heard this, she thought that she had to start working now. She thought about it and said, "I met when I was working part-time."
She took a part-time job and applied for a waitress, and then Gong Yifei introduced her to work for Yanxingzhi.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with doing part-time jobs → getting to know Yan Xingzhi.
"Part-time job..." Sister Lin took pity on her, "You're a student, so why do you still need to work part-time?"
"It's good to work part-time." If you work part-time, you can buy milk tea.
She took a sip of fruit tea and added, "Yanxingzhiren is also very good. When we first met, he let me eat the cake he liked."
Xingzhi likes to eat cake
Sister Lin blinked and thought to herself, I have taken care of him for decades, why didn't he know he had this hobby
Is it some way to coax a little girl
In the afternoon, Bai Xiaoxi cat is watching TV on the sofa.
Yan Xingzhi said that she asked her to think about how to deal with the elders' questioning. She discussed with the system, but it was nothing more than fabricating the process of their acquaintance and love, as well as her personal situation.
Bai Xiaoxi racked his brains, but didn't make up any decent love content.
However, although she can't, she is eager to learn.
So I turned on the TV and watched the idol drama, and put a notebook beside me, ready to study hard.
She has always been serious about her work.
When she came back from the evening banquet, she had already written down a page full of notes.
Sister Lin took Yan Xingzhi's coat and whispered, "Xiaoxi took a notebook to scribble and write in the afternoon. I don't know if he is doing his homework, but he is serious."
She didn't even dare to call her to eat.
Yan Xingzhi looked up, only to see her side face with a little baby fat, lips pursed, cheeks slightly bulging, eyes fixed on the screen, very serious and focused.
He followed her line of sight to the TV, as if he was afraid of disturbing others. She turned the volume down very low, and only saw an actor holding the shoulder of the actress and saying something hoarse because he couldn't hear it. The voice seemed a little funny.
Yan Xingzhi walked behind the sofa and glanced down at her. Sure enough, she saw that she was holding a pen in her hand. Her words were delicate and small, and she was neatly written all over the paper.
Bai Xiaoxi finally realized that there was someone behind him, and when he saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "You're back."
Yan Xingzhi nodded gently and asked, "A winter vacation task assigned by the school?"
"I'm studying." Bai Xiaoxi showed him his notes as if offering a treasure. After making sure that Sister Lin was not around, he whispered, "Didn't you make me think about it, but I can't figure out how the two fell in love? , I had to learn from the people on TV."
Yan Xingzhi stared at it carefully, and what was densely remembered in the notebook was really the story of the hero pursuing the heroine, or the passage of two people getting along. Even Bai Xiaoxi was very considerate, and changed the names of the male and female protagonists to theirs.
So he saw something like this:
"Yan Xingzhi sent 9,999 roses to Bai Xiaoxi and said to her: 'I want to let the whole city know that today's roses were contracted by you.'"
"Yan Xingzhi took Bai Xiaoxi to a movie, packed the whole audience, and asked her: 'Do you like what you saw?'"
"Yan Xingzhi set off fireworks for Bai Xiaoxi by the river, and confessed affectionately: 'The stars are in your eyes, and you are in my heart.'"
"Yan Xingzhi and Bai Xiaoxi..."
"..." The banquet ended.
Yan Xingzhi's forehead throbbed, and for the first time he realized that maintaining a decent expression was such a difficult thing that he almost couldn't recognize his own name.
