In the middle of the night, Ji Cao slowly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the sleeping Ji Xi, and then carefully removed the other's hand on her waist.
"Shushi—" Ji Xi turned around and pulled the quilt, Ji Cao was so shocked that he didn't dare to move.
When the sound of breathing calmed down again, Ji Cao carefully got out of bed. Worried about making a noise, she didn't even put on her shoes, and tiptoed to the door.
"Put on your shoes," a helpless voice sounded behind her, and then a faint light was turned on, "It's very cold on the ground, don't catch a cold."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ji Cao turned around stiffly, with an awkward yet polite smile on her face, "Xiao Xi, why are you awake?"
Ji Xi looked at her angrily, "What do you think?"
Ji Xi had already guessed that Ji Cao would steal food in the middle of the night, and Ji Cao was impatient, so she took her arm away shortly after she fell asleep. It was really a problem that she would not be woken up.
Hearing this, Ji Cao touched her nose in embarrassment, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, how could Ji Xi scold her harshly, yawned, and said, "It's okay." It's just that she was not sleepy after being teased by Ji Cao. Lifted the quilt and got up. It's winter, if the heating is not turned on at home, she really doesn't want to leave the range of the bed.
Ji Cao looked at the other party's movements suspiciously, "Huh? What are you doing up?"
"I'm hungry." Ji Xi raised his eyebrows, "Or do you plan to eat all the cake by yourself?"
"I don't have any, I just plan to eat a small piece." Ji Cao retorted subconsciously, and then remembered that her words revealed the purpose of getting up, and quickly changed her words, "I don't want to eat, I just got up to go to the bathroom."
Ji Xi asked: "Really?"
Ji Cao nodded, then turned around timidly and walked towards the bathroom, "I'll go right now."
When Ji Xi saw that she had really entered the bathroom, a smile appeared in his eyes, but instead he put on his coat and left the room.
Ji Cao thought that Ji Xi would still go back to sleep, and spent a long time in the bathroom before coming out. But when she came out to take a look, why was Ji Xi still in the room
"Xiao Xi." Ji Cao yelled as she walked out, when she suddenly moved her nose and smelled the sweet smell of cake.
Following the smell to the kitchen, Ji Cao saw Ji Xi who was cutting the cake, and hurried over, "Xiao Xi, you actually ate it secretly."
"What stealing food?" Ji Xi knocked on her forehead, "Didn't I just say that I was hungry, it's normal to eat now."
Ji Cao stuck out her tongue, reached out and took a plate and handed it to Ji Xi, the purpose was very obvious.
"Didn't you just say that you got up to go to the bathroom and not eat cake? Why don't you go back to sleep after going to the bathroom now." Ji Xi teased her, but still took it and cut a piece of cake on top.
"I want to eat strawberries." Ji Cao stared at the bright red strawberries and swallowed. Now this season is no longer the season to eat strawberries, and there is a rare strawberry cake, she really doesn't want to miss it.
Ji Xi glanced at her, and picked up two strawberries with a knife to Ji Cao.
"By the way, can we grow strawberries ourselves?" Ji Cao suddenly thought of this question while eating the cake. As long as you can grow it, you can eat it when you want to eat it.
"Yes, but it's more troublesome." Ji Xi rejected her thoughts, "If you eat it every day, you will get tired of eating it for ten days and a half. It's better to eat less, so that you can maintain your love for her. .”
"I won't get tired of it." Ji Cao snorted softly, and finished the cake in her hand with big mouthfuls. Seeing that Ji Xi was still eating in small bites, she quietly reached out with her right hand to pick up the plastic knife.
Ji Xi said, "I can't eat any more, it's hard to sleep when I'm full."
Seeing her serious expression, Ji Cao had no choice but to put down the plastic knife and help put the cake away and put it back in the refrigerator.
Ji Xi also finished eating, threw the rubbish into the trash can, and took Ji Cao back to the room to sleep.
"Dong dong dong—" Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door again.
Ji Xi pressed his head to get up, and asked Ji Cao who was also woken up, "Did you ask that Gu Qingyu to come over again?"
"No." Ji Cao shook her head.
"Who would that be?"
If it's the parents, they have the key and there's no need to knock at all. If it was Guan Wanwan's group, they would have let them know in advance when they came. Ji Xi couldn't figure out who it was, so he yawned, lifted the quilt and went out to open the door.
"Dong dong dong—" The knock on the door continued.
"Wait a minute, it's coming." Ji Xi looked through the cat's eyes and found a group of men he didn't know, and subconsciously stopped opening the door.
Ji Xi buckled the anti-theft lock, and then asked aloud, "Who are you looking for?"
"Miss Ji Xi, right? We have something to talk to you about." From the cat's eyes, Ji Xi could see people outside looking around, and took out a sign and held it in front of the cat.
—Cao Leyu, captain of the second team of the Monster Management Bureau
After Ji Xi saw those words clearly, his first intuition was that Ji Cao's identity had been exposed. Thinking of this, she turned around quickly, but before she could tell Ji Cao to leave, the door lock suddenly solidified, and then shattered into ice slag with a click, and then the group of people outside the door rushed in in an instant.
And one of them had ice mist in his hand. Ji Xi's eyes flickered, he didn't expect the supernatural beings in the TV series to actually exist. However, grass can become a spirit, and it seems that it is not a big deal to have people with supernatural powers and practitioners.
"Excuse me, Ms. Ji, this is our search warrant." The leader, Cao Leyu, took out the search warrant and showed it to Ji Xi, and then asked the four team members behind him to search the house.
"Officer Cao, right?" Although Ji Xi was worried about Ji Cao in the bedroom, his face remained calm, "I don't know what I did that needs to be searched?"
"Miss Ji Xi should know better than us, right?" Cao Leyu looked at the room, "This room smells very strong."
smell? Ji Xi's nose moved, but he didn't smell anything.
"Miss Ji Xi can't smell the smell of monsters." Cao Leyu laughed.
Ji Xi's heart sank, but he still asked with doubts on his face: "What monster? Officer Cao, I'm afraid you have obtained false evidence. Do you know that the words you said can easily cause panic."
Cao Le asked pointedly: "But is Miss Ji panicking now?"
"Officer Cao was joking." Ji Xi sat down on one side of the sofa with a natural expression, "I have a clear conscience, why panic."
Before Cao Leyu came, he had investigated Ji Xi's background. He came from a wealthy family, and he was a girl of heaven since he was a child. He thought this kind of women were generally so proud, but now it seems that Ji Xi is calmer than he imagined. Unfortunately, in his opinion, this kind of calmness was misplaced.
Probably because of his admiration for Ji Xi, he kindly persuaded him: "Miss Ji, we wouldn't have come here if we didn't have definite evidence, why do you pretend to be confused. And you have to know that monsters have different ways to make monsters behave like No matter how harmless humans and animals are, they are cruel by nature, as long as they are a little unhappy, they will reveal their nature."
Ji Xi looked at Cao Leyu with strange eyes, "You have already said that monsters have different routes, how can those monsters still approach humans? Besides, I think Officer Cao is a little naive."
Cao Leyu was the first time someone said he was naive, so he subconsciously asked, "How naive."
"Compared to monsters, the human heart is more terrifying." Ji Xi leaned on the sofa, his eyes sparkling, "There are good and evil in people, and monsters naturally also have them. Compared with those good monsters, I hate those with sinister hearts even more. I have seen a lot of people who sold their friends for money and power, but I haven’t seen any monsters who sold their friends for money and power.”
Cao Leyu didn't expect Ji Xi to be so sharp-tongued, but he could tell that Ji Xi didn't want to expose the monster, so he had to give up communicating.
Ji Xi glanced at him, went back to the bedroom, picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Ji Cao sensed something was wrong the moment they broke in, and ran away in an instant. But because he was worried about Ji Xi's safety, he didn't dare to run far, and just hid near the community, while his spiritual sense kept observing everyone's situation.
Therefore, the people from the Monster Management Bureau searched around, and found many things that Ji Cao had used, but they couldn't find Ji Cao's figure.
"Can't you find it?" Cao Leyu asked again, and after getting affirmative answers from a few subordinates, he looked at Ji Xi's calm and composed expression and figured out something. No wonder they were so calm, it turned out that they knew that they would definitely not find anyone, so they were confident.
"Miss Ji, we'll take away these monster-like things first." Cao Leyu motioned for several people to bring the monster-like things with them, intending to close the team.
"Wait a minute." Ji Xi stretched out his hand to stop them, "I don't know what evil spirit is, but I paid for these clothes, you must give me a normal reason if you want to take them away. Also, I have never heard of them. There is some monster processing bureau, so please wait a moment, my personal lawyer will come over later to confirm the identity of the few and whether they can reasonably take away the clothes I bought."
"Also," Ji Xi turned and pointed at the broken door, "You guys broke my door, shouldn't you install it for me? Or is it that the current policemen break into the door like this, and then take away other people's doors?" Don't care about things?"
Cao Leyu and the others looked at the shattered slag and looked at each other.
In the end, they went to buy a door lock and install it, and at this time Ji Xi's personal lawyer also arrived, and it was a team.
Cao Leyu felt a deep pain in the head when he looked at the people who were full of energy and knew the elites at a glance. To say that what he is most afraid of is not the criminals, but those lawyers who can speak well and completely distort the facts.
Usually one of them is a headache, but now there is a team of eight lawyers.
The eight lawyers had already listened to Ji Xi’s explanation on the way. Although they were a little surprised, they had prepared their speeches on the way. After the meeting, they asked Cao Leyu directly one by one. In the end, they were sure that the search warrant was genuine, but they didn’t There is a way to prove whether the existence of this monster processing bureau is true or not. Cao Leyu needs to provide a certificate of the country that this processing bureau belongs to in order to take these ordinary clothes away.
After all, not to mention that a few of them are materialists, and they didn't smell anything from these clothes, even if they randomly pulled someone over and said that these clothes were stained with evil spirits, no one would believe it.
It is not difficult to prove, the problem is that it takes time, how can it be changed in a short time? Cao Leyu didn't expect Ji Xi to be so difficult to deal with, but facing the eight lawyers who would sue for taking away the citizens' clothes without showing evidence, he could only lead the team to leave with a stern face.
"Walk slowly." Ji Xi sent them away, and then calmly talked to the lawyer team before letting them pull away.
Looking at the messy room, Ji Xi sighed, and suddenly felt something in the next second, and hurried into the bedroom.
As soon as Ji Cao returned to the bedroom, she asked Ji Xi to come in, and before she could speak, she was hugged tightly by the other party.
"Xiao, Xiaoxi?" Ji Cao looked at Ji Xi in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I was scared to death just now." Feeling the real touch, Ji Xi was really relieved.
"I'm sorry." Ji Cao felt Ji Xi's accelerated heartbeat, and patted the other person's back guiltily, "That group of people are not my opponents, so you don't have to worry." Although she ate, drank and didn't practice much, she brought that After the relic, the demon power has increased almost day by day, and now the strength is no longer what those people can grasp.
"That being said, there are too many people, as long as you think of a way, you will always be caught." Ji Xi didn't know that there was such a monster management bureau before, so he didn't let Ji Cao hide. Thinking about it, it's not uncommon to be discovered.
"Then I'll keep hiding." Ji Cao didn't take it seriously, but when she thought of something later, her expression suddenly became sluggish.
Ji Xi came back to his senses, seeing her like this, he quickly asked what was wrong.
"In that case, I won't be able to stay with Xiaoxi, and I won't be able to go back to the company." Ji Cao has watched a lot of TV dramas, and knows that the police like to follow them. Xi, Ji Xi might be implicated by then.
Ji Xi was thinking about this just now, and seeing her say it, his heart warmed up, and he patted the top of Ji Cao's hair, "Can't you teleport? It would be nice if you come over when I'm alone .”
Ji Cao thought about it, this is also a solution, she nodded in response, but her expression was still gloomy. At the thought of not being able to be with Ji Xi, she felt her heart constricted and she couldn't breathe.
"There's nothing that can't be solved." Ji Xi pinched Ji Cao's chubby cheeks, and when she saw that her eyes were a little moist and she looked like she was about to cry, she coaxed distressedly, "Speaking of which, we haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you just have strawberry cake for breakfast?"
"Okay." Ji Cao nodded, threw herself into Ji Xi's arms, and said with a sob, "I don't want to leave Xiao Xi."
Seeing her like this, Ji Xi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and patted Ji Cao on the back, "Okay, okay, shall we be together all the time?"
Ji Cao nodded, but her heart was still very uncomfortable. Thinking of the group of culprits who prevented them from being together, a red light flashed in her eyes, and then she held Ji Xi's hand even harder.
"Okay." After hugging for a while, Ji Xi pulled Ji Cao away, "Let's wash up and eat cake, and tidy up the house, shall we?"
"En." Ji Cao nodded, showing a shallow smile, and the dimples around her mouth also appeared.
Ji Xi raised his hand to pinch her cheek, and then pamperingly dragged her to the bathroom to wash up.
