Chapter 83
She kept running slowly behind He Yan at a constant speed, thus avoiding awkward conversations.
The environment in the community is elegant, and there is a long maple leaf road in front of it. At this time, the cleaning workers have not yet swept here. Wen Xi stepped on the thick stack of red and yellow maple leaves and ran forward slowly.
Rows of maple trees swayed in the wind, and golden leaves flew down. She was a person who loved beautiful scenery, and seeing these things would make her feel good.
So, she walked slower and looked up at the falling leaves.
By the time she ran across that stretch of road, it was already two minutes later.
Looking forward, there was no one in front except the golden light of the morning sun.
She thought that He Yan must have run away.
So she didn't pay much attention, but breathed a sigh of relief and continued running forward. The scenery along the way was good. She didn't run too fast and always maintained a slow pace.
When she almost ran to the door of her house, she broke out in a thin sweat, so she slowed down and walked over, grabbing a towel to wipe her sweat.
Unexpectedly, when I touched my shoulder, there was no sign of towel at all.
She was stunned, and then looked back. The road was empty, and there was no shadow of her towel.
"Looking for a towel?"
Wen Xi suddenly turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from - the door of her house.
He Yan walked a few steps from the door and looked at her quietly, holding a white dry towel in his raised hand.
"Why is it there with you?"
"Found it."
"But aren't you running ahead of me?"
She clearly saw that he didn't have any extra towels on him at that time.
He Yan did not answer this sentence, but walked towards her and wiped the sweat on her forehead with a towel, "Do you have an appointment today?"
The sudden question made Wen Xi a little nervous. She took the towel over and took a small step back, "I don't have an appointment, but I have to go to the audition and I'm not free."
The man lowered his eyes and let out a meaningful "hmm" in his throat.
Wen Xi felt a little regretful, why was he so honest? Why would he just say that we had an appointment? Why tell him everything.
"Then I'll go back first, bye."
"Wait a minute."
He Yan put the bag in her hand and said, "Remember to have breakfast."
Wen Xi looked down and saw that the bag contained breakfast for several people, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and rice porridge.
"Buy some more and eat with your grandparents." He Yan said.
Wen Xi raised her eyes and looked at him, "They went on a trip and were not at home."
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you the only one at home?"
"Um."
He lowered his eyes and suddenly walked towards the door, opened it, and looked back at her, "It's not good to waste, let's eat together."
The bright morning light fell on his face, showing a backlit whiteness.
Staring at him, Wen Xi was in a daze for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, the man had already walked into the yard.
He put his hands casually in his pockets, glanced around the courtyard wall a few times, and said bluntly, "Although this place is elegant and quiet, the courtyard wall is too low and the security is too low."
"Well, so I'm thinking about whether to hire someone to come back, but my grandparents don't like outsiders around."
"Most of the bodyguards are men and outsiders, so it's not necessarily very safe."
Wen Xi thought for a while and said, "How about I raise a few dogs, which can protect the family and relieve boredom."
“Pet dogs are not very good at protecting the home and are basically useless.”
He turned to look at her and said warmly, "Leave this matter to me."
Good night.
