It seemed like they hadn't been in touch for five days. During these days, he kept his phone with him all the time. He would always take it out to check his phone out of habit, looking forward to her call every moment.
At this moment, Wen Xinya's voice reached his ears through the mobile phone signal. The soft and tender voice, with a hint of coquettishness, made Si Yiyan's heart soften.
I heard her say: "Si Yiyan, I miss you so much!"
The soft and gentle tone, carrying with it her dependence and longing for him, was like a huge rock thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples in an instant and disturbing the water. Suddenly, a desire to see her surged in his heart, churning in his mind.
The two of them whispered to each other, sharing their sweet feelings.
"Oh, my phone is out of battery." Wen Xinya heard the battery indicator on the phone, and her delicate voice was filled with annoyance. The phone had been given to Li Lang since she came to Milan, and it didn't have much battery to begin with. After getting the phone, she called Si Yiyan the first thing she did, and didn't pay attention to how much battery was left.
"Since there's no battery, hang up. You've been busy participating in competitions all day, so go to bed early." Si Yiyan felt a little regretful. He looked at the call time and it was a full hour and a half, but it always felt like they only talked for a while, and it also felt like they didn't say anything.
Wen Xinya was somewhat reluctant: "This is the only way!"
It seemed like we had said a lot before, but when I was about to hang up the phone, it felt like I hadn’t said anything.
Si Yiyan said softly: "You hang up first!"
"No, you hang up first!" Wen Xinya refused in a soft voice without even thinking.
"Be good and listen to me!" Si Yiyan coaxed.
"No, you hang up first!" Wen Xinya acted coquettishly!
The two of them lingered like this, reluctant to leave, and neither of them wanted to hang up first. In a blink of an eye, more than ten minutes of talk time had passed.
Until Wen Xinya's voice "beeped", the screen instantly went black, it was the phone that ran out of battery and turned off automatically. She stared at the phone in annoyance and said, "Hate it, why are you so useless? You can't even hold on for a little while. I haven't said goodbye to Si Yiyan yet!"
After saying that, she angrily threw her phone on the bed.
Si Yiyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the "ding ding ding" sound of hang-up coming from his phone. He could almost imagine how annoyed his little baby's face was at this moment, and he didn't know how he would even throw a tantrum at the phone.
"One hour, forty-two minutes and fifty-three seconds." Gu Yuexi raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. He was not wearing glasses. His dark eyes were like obsidian in the sun, emitting an icy and cold light, which gave his gaze a frosted sharpness.
This kind of sharpness carries a sense of danger, which makes people who see these eyes feel threatened, and thus become defensive and vigilant towards the owner of these eyes, which is not conducive to disguise, so he always wears glasses.
He rarely took off his glasses in front of anyone except Rex.
My sister-in-law had been curious about what he looked like without glasses more than once before, but he always rejected her without leaving a trace.
Si Yiyan's calm and composed expression was a little strange, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Yuexi smiled what he thought was a graceful, gentle and harmless smile. However, this gentle and beautiful smile, like that of a prince charming, looked extremely strange when set against his pair of dark, piercing, dangerous and sharp eyes. “You have always been better than me, but I have been here for a full hour and fifty minutes, and you didn’t even notice my presence.”
He had been there for so long. In the first five minutes, he stared at Wen Xinya on the TV screen who was participating in a jewelry design competition. In the next hour and forty-five minutes, he was on the phone with Wen Xinya. Such meaningless topics as "Have you eaten?", "What did you eat?", "Have you adjusted to the time difference?", and "Are you used to it over there?" occupied the entire call time.
It is said that the IQ of men and women will drop significantly when they are in love. Now he finally believes it. Even someone as strong as Rex is not immune to this.
Si Yiyan's face darkened: "What do you want to say?"
He really hadn't noticed Gu Yuexi's existence.
Gu Yuexi's dark eyes, sharp and piercing, instantly pierced into Si Yiyan's eyes: "You are most proud of your sharpness and vigilance, but in this situation, it is actually useless. This is a very dangerous thing for you as the highest decision-maker of Lucifer. Rex, has your sweet life made you lose even the most basic vigilance?"
He finally understood the true meaning of the four words "chatting on the phone for a long time". Such a long call time could be enough to cook several pots of porridge. It was also hard to imagine that in his mind, the man who was so powerful and made him surrender could actually have such tenderness.
It is said that the people in power in every generation of the Xia Si family would rather be alone than be with someone they do not like, and they are extremely proud and infatuated. No matter in terms of emotions, body, or spirit, they are outrageously picky. Now he finally believes it.
Si Yiyan looked at Gu Yuexi with a sharp warning in his eyes: "You don't need to care about my business."
Gu Yuexi said calmly: "I don't mean to interfere in your affairs, but as your subordinate, I have the responsibility to remind you not to blindly immerse yourself in ***** and lose your minions. I hope you can learn from this."
Si Yiyan withdrew his gaze calmly: "What do you want from me?"
Immersing himself in the ***** will not make him lose his claws, it will only make his claws sharper. Of course, there is no need for him to tell Gu Yuexi this.
Gu Yuexi said: "There is movement from the Zhou family!"
He came to the capital to assist Rex and perfect Plan S to deal with the HZ International Alliance Organization.
Si Yiyan was not surprised by this: "Don't worry about the Zhou family for now, just leave them alone for now."
Plan S is a matter of great importance and cannot afford to make any mistakes. The Zhou family is a famous family in the capital. They cannot ignore the family's honor and disgrace, rise and fall, and a century-old reputation. Otherwise, the Zhou family would not have been deeply involved in the conspiracy of the HZ International Alliance for more than a decade, so he would not trust the Zhou family easily.
People will only make a real and thorough choice when they are desperate and have no other way out. What he needs is not the tentative caution of the Zhou family at this time, but the determination of the entire Zhou family to deal with the HZ International Alliance Organization.
Gu Yuexi did not comment: "I understand. I will continue to keep an eye on the Zhou family."
Si Yiyan said in a cold voice: "If there is nothing else, you can go. Also, book me a flight to Milan for the day after tomorrow."
Gu Yuexi looked at him seriously. It seemed that what he had just reminded her of was just nonsense. Rex knew his identity better than anyone else, and he knew what he was going to do better than anyone else.
