Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9014 Gentleman behaves (8)

As usual, the car stopped outside the community where I seemed to live.

A clear moonlight fell on the car window, and the transparent glass reflected Xiao Mingzhang's facial features and edges in the driver's seat. He parked the car and turned on the lights.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm going to get something from the trunk."

"Can you mention it?"

"Then Mr. Xiao, wait for me. I'll come and get it in two trips."

"It is ungentlemanly for a man to sit in a car and let a girl lift heavy objects."

He said quietly and opened the car door.

Xiao Sisi also got out of the car with him.

Opening the trunk, Xiang seemed to try to lift a handbag, but it was too heavy.

Suddenly, her thin shoulders hurt a little.

Xiao Mingzhang took the handbag in her hand and picked up the things in the trunk: "Lead the way."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Xisi walked in front, bypassing the winding green belt and walking along the road in the community to the floor where she lived.

There are no street lights in the community, so the light is dim, but the lights of thousands of houses are bright and warm.

The moonlight fell on the similar figure in front of her. The little girl's black hair was blown by the evening breeze, and the corners of her coat were dyed with a layer of white moonlight, making her look like a dream.

Xiao Xisi turned on the light in the hallway and went up the stairs.

"Mr. Xiao, slow down, thank you for your hard work."

"Is this place safe?"

“Safe and nice neighbors.”

Xiao Mingzhang didn't say anything, and the dull sound of footsteps hit the cement floor.

Stopping in front of a door, Xiao seemed to take out the key.

After a soft knock, the door of the small apartment opened, revealing a very simple one-bedroom apartment.

"Meow..." Huahua ran over as soon as she heard the sound.

Xiao Sisi squatted down and picked up the kitten from the ground with a smile: "Huahua, do you miss your sister? My sister misses you so much."

She held Huahua in front of Xiao Mingzhang: "Mr. Xiao, look here, are you a little fatter?"

Xiao Mingzhang raised his injured paw and took a closer look. The injury was already healed.

"It's well maintained."

"Then Mr. Xiao, please hold him for a while, and I'll give him some cat food."

She said and threw Huahua into his arms.

Xiao Mingzhang was caught off guard, frowned, and then hugged the cat tightly.

The kitten was very small, and when I held it in my arms, a strange feeling spread from my heart.

Huahua seemed to be familiar with Xiao Mingzhang's aura, and actually called out "meow" and "meow" twice like a baby...

Xiao Mingzhang looked around this small apartment. It was simple and plain, but there were many healthy green plants on the balcony, some of which were blooming, and the whole house was filled with the scent of flowers and herbs.

Looking around, there are girls' belongings everywhere, nothing special.

"Mr. Xiao, our house is a bit small. If you don't mind it, just sit down for a while and I'll make you tea."

"I have many kinds of tea here. I guarantee that Mr. Xiao has never drank any of them."

The man neither refused nor responded, but sat down on the small brown sofa with Huahua in his arms.

Xiao Sisi made him a pot of tea. When he turned his head, he happened to see the man sitting on the sofa holding Huahua. His brows were relaxed, and his whole body exuded the elegant and noble aura of a noble prince. He was flipping through a book on the coffee table. This biology magazine has his head lowered, his long eyelashes drooped, he is calm and restrained.

He sat quietly on the sofa, looking much more relaxed than usual.

Xiao Si couldn't bear to break this beautiful scene. After a while, she took the teapot over and poured him a cup of tea.

Xiao Mingzhang took a bite and found that the taste was slightly sour and the aftertaste was long and sweet.

Xiao Sisi said: "I bring some wild tea from the mountains every year when I go to Liangshan. I also add some wild hawthorn, but it's just dried hawthorn, so it's a bit sour."

She also told him about the endless treasures in the mountains, and how difficult it was to find wild tea. There were only a few scattered places hidden among the weeds in the mountains. No one usually paid attention to it, but she was very familiar with it.

The conversation started, and Xiao seemed to have a lot to say to him. Xiao Mingzhang would listen to her carefully most of the time and drink the tea she made while listening.

The room was not big, but it was filled with her lively and energetic voice.

Huahua leaned on Xiao Mingzhang's solid chest, feeling very comfortable and unwilling to leave.

After drinking half the pot of tea, Xiao Sisi remembered that Xiao Mingzhang still had to go home!

However, he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

At this time, Xiao Xisi's cell phone rang, and the name "Zheng Bao" was on the screen.

Xiao seemed to want to answer but couldn't, so he had to press hang up.

"I remember that the salary in the R&D department is not low. Don't you plan to change to a better apartment?"

"It's okay to live here. As for my salary, I plan to save it first."

"Is there any other use for saving it?"

She didn't speak for a while, paused, and then smiled: "There is a saying that 'just in case of a rainy day', save some money and don't panic."

"Do you plan to stay in the R&D department, or leave Xuanzhou after gaining experience?"

Xiao Si seemed not sure why he suddenly asked this question.

She didn't intend to say what was on her mind, so she just said a few perfunctory words: "Mr. Xiao, I didn't think about it that much."

"Really." He flipped through the magazines on the coffee table and the English textbooks on the bookshelf nearby, "I thought you were going abroad."

"Mr. Xiao is joking, I don't have the conditions to go abroad."

"Yeah." He didn't ask any more and drank the tea she made.

"Mr. Xiao, I have an unkind request. Can you do me a favor?"

"What."

"As you know, I grew up in Langshan Welfare Institution. I recently wanted to find a file from the past. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can..."

"Want to enter the archives room of Langshan Welfare Institute?"

"Yes." Xiao nodded, "I want to find a copy of my past study files."

"Besides." Xiao Mingzhang never likes to meddle in other people's business, "Watch my time."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Mingzhang put down Huahua, stood up, straightened his coat, and turned to leave.

"Mr. Xiao, let me see you off."

"No, I know the way."

"Then slow down."

"Ah."

He strode out of the apartment and helped her close the door to the apartment before leaving.

The man stood in the dark corridor and lit a cigarette. The red light of the cigarette butt flickered in the darkness.

Climbing the stairs, he left the community.

The archives room of Langshan Welfare Institution...what archives was she looking for?

Xiao Mingzhang took a puff of cigarette and disappeared around the corner.

……

One cloudy day, Xiao Sisi followed Xiao Mingzhang to Liangshan again.

The weather was gloomy and cold, and the cold wind kept blowing on the car glass, making a lot of noise.

As the car drove up the winding mountain road, the entire mountain was shrouded in dark clouds, and a layer of yellow leaves fell on the ground.

The heating was on in the car, and it wasn't cold. Xiao seemed to be holding a hot water bottle and looking at the road ahead.

The atmosphere was too quiet, so Xiao Mingzhang turned on the radio in the car.

The weather forecast was broadcast on the radio. The forecast said that there may be light to moderate snow in Xuanzhou today and tomorrow.

The weather forecast is followed by lengthy local news in Xuanzhou, as well as some bland economic reports.
