Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9046 None of this is worth it (10)

White mist hung in the air, and in the early morning the mist became thicker.

A layer of fog formed on the car glass, blocking Xiao Mingzhang's sight.

The night gets deeper.

At some point, Xiao seemed to be awakened by a nightmare. She moved her arms and slowly opened her eyes.

She saw Zheng Bao sleeping soundly in her arms, and she didn't know when there was a blanket on her body, which was very warm.

The space inside the car was narrow and warm. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep in the car. The car had already arrived in Xuanzhou.

There was a tall figure in the driver's seat, and the man was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Hearing the soft sound, Xiao Mingzhang opened his eyes and asked hoarsely: "Are you awake?"

Xiao Sisi gently took off the blanket on his body and whispered: "Mr. Xiao, what time is it?"

"Two o'clock."

"Mr. Xiao, today... I'm really troubling you. It's late at night, I'll take Zheng Bao back."

He turned around and his deep eyes fell on her: "I'll take you up."

Xiao Xi seemed to have no objection and nodded.

Opening the car door, a thick white mist floated into the car.

Xiao Mingzhang took Zheng Bao from her arms and helped her hold it. Xiao Mingzhang followed him step by step.

A gust of wind blew past my eyes, blowing away layers of mist.

The streets in the early morning were deserted and completely silent, with only the dim light of the street lamps dimly visible.

Xiao Mingzhang held Zheng Bao and walked into the community.

Xiao Sisi glanced at him. In an instant, the flowers were no longer flowers and the mist was no longer mist. Everything in front of her was like a dream. In a daze, she thought she was not awake yet.

At some point he was already standing at the door of the small apartment, and he recognized where she lived.

In the dark corridor, he lowered his voice and said to her: "The key."

Xiao Xisi took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

She took Zheng Bao from Xiao Mingzhang, placed the little guy on her bed, took off his coat and covered him with a quilt.

The little guy slept deeply and never woke up.

She stared at Zheng Bao's little face, bent down, gently touched Zheng Bao's face with her soft fingers, and kissed him on the forehead again.

After closing the bedroom door, she met Xiao Mingzhang's gaze: "Mr. Xiao, I really want to thank you tonight... If possible, I will treat you to dinner another day."

Their eyes met, and the man was silent for a long time, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his eyes were filled with a cold and solemn light.

He almost stared at her: "Just eating?"

"Or...something else?" She felt a little embarrassed.

Standing in front of Xiao Mingzhang, she could feel his strong aura and... his slightly unhappy tone.

"Owed." He said calmly.

Xiao Sisi nodded.

Then just owe it first!

She will return this favor.

There was heating in the room, and Xiao Mingzhang took off his coat with a tired look on his face.

He rubbed his brows slightly and said calmly: "It's foggy outside and it's too cold. I'll stay here all night."

Xiao Sisi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I'll make a pot of tea for Mr. Xiao."

She was busy, boiling hot water, making tea with the hot water, and lit a sandalwood incense stick that Xiao Mingzhang liked.

The smell of sandalwood and tea lingered inside the house.

Xiao Mingzhang sat on the sofa, took an English book from her coffee table, and flipped through a few pages.

Xiao Sisi took a sip of warm tea, feeling particularly calm at this moment.

Although it was a rented house, for some reason, at this moment, she felt safe for the first time.

She has never experienced this thing called "security" since she was a child. Tonight, she experienced it for the first time.

She couldn't describe this feeling, she just felt at ease.

The heating was very sufficient, and soon her body gradually warmed up and stopped being cold.

Xiao Mingzhang rarely spoke. He flipped through her English book and saw that she had made a lot of notes in it. "How can you read such a difficult foreign language professional book?" he asked suddenly.

“I don’t recognize many terms and words, so let’s take a look at them first.”

"Oh." He said calmly, "What should I do if I don't understand?"

"You can go online to find the answer."

"You can also ask me."

There was a look of surprise in Xiao Sisi's eyes, but then he suppressed it again.

She held the tea cup, feeling strange emotions in her heart.

Seeing a pen on the table, he took it out and helped her correct the wrong notes: "This place is not translated correctly."

He patiently explained the words to her and then helped her read it again.

They were all very professional terms, far beyond the scope of what Xiao Xisi had learned over the years. She listened patiently and occasionally raised her own questions.

Xiao Mingzhang's voice was deep and sexy, and his English was extremely fluent. The words he read jumped into her ears one by one, and Xiao Mingzhang's heart seemed to stop for half a beat.

"Mr. Xiao, you know a lot."

"I just thought you were complimenting me."

"of course."

"Fortunately, I didn't forget these things after the car accident, otherwise I would have been a complete waste."

"Mr. Xiao is always an excellent person."

He curled his lips and didn't say much, still marking the words for her.

In the small apartment late at night, the lights were bright and warm.

Xiao Mingzhang would occasionally take a sip of the tea she brewed. The tea was fragrant and gave him complete peace of mind.

"Mr. Xiao, it's getting late, do you want to take a nap?" she asked him.

"I slept in the car for a while, so I'm not too sleepy."

Only then did Xiao Sisi stop trying to persuade her.

She sat with him and talked with him about biomedicine from time to time. Every time, Xiao Mingzhang's erudition impressed her.

She marveled at his talent. The more she marveled, the more pity she felt.

While chatting, he suddenly changed the topic: "How did Zheng Bao sleep?"

"He... slept soundly."

"How are you going to explain to his parents that such a big thing happened?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet." Xiao Sisi prevaricated, not knowing why Xiao Mingzhang suddenly asked about Zheng Bao.

"He looks cute and good-looking."

"Yes, it is."

Xiao Sisi lowered his head, nervously playing with the tea cup in his hand and looking at the tea swaying in the cup.

The tea was green in color, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became solemn.

After a long while, Xiao Mingzhang asked again: "Why did that Alu call you?"

"Probably I'm the richest... person he knows."

Xiao Mingzhang sneered, showing a mocking tone.

Xiao Sisi's face turned red and white.

She knew that there were many things that she might not be able to hide anymore.

But at this moment, she was not prepared to deal with it.

"Mr. Xiao, the 100,000 yuan will be transferred to you after I go to the police station to get the mobile phone tomorrow. Thank you for standing up at the most important moment."

"In the future, no matter what happens, you should believe that I will show up."

Xiao Xi didn't seem to raise her head, but she felt two blazing eyes falling on her.

At this moment, Xiong seemed to have strange emotions surging in his heart. They were so complicated and intertwined that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

She held the tea cup tightly and nodded slightly, not daring to raise her head to look into his eyes.
