But at tis like this, he could still get closer, observing carefully every change in her expression.
——I’m not talking to you anymore! Bye-bye!
Su Xiaong also knew that Yin Shixiu was probably just teasing her, but today she felt particularly sensitive.
Even a small tease would lead her to overthink.
After sending the text, she exhaled a breath, feeling a bit blocked—not at Yin Shixiu’s words.
She just thought of how angry Grandpa looked today, it wasn’t hard to imagine the reaction from the Yin Family elders...
It wouldn’t be much better than Grandpa’s.
How should she act to make both the Yin Family elders and Grandpa happy? How could she be truly accepted...
Why does it feel like problems are never-ending, and the troubles keep getting bigger instead?
——So Madam is angry now?
The phone buzzed again, Su Xiaong raised her brows high, looking disdainfully at the ssage that popped up.
Then, the high coldness lasted for only half a minute, and her little face couldn’t hold back a smile.
——Yes, I’m angry!
——What should I do? I was planning to sleep, but now that you’re angry, perhaps I shouldn’t be thinking about sleeping...
——Madam, could you instruct on how to comfort you?
Su Xiaong pursed her lips, holding her phone to her chest, looking at the stars above, thinking of how to tease Yin Shixiu, then squinted her eyes!
Started typing "clack clack"...
Yin Shixiu had been standing under the lamp for more than half an hour. Even though he was wearing a coat and a scarf, his body, barely moving, was cold and stiff.
He inhaled a breath of cold air, looking at the illuminated window...
He lit a cigarette, perhaps the only way to keep warm at the mont.
With a cigarette between his lips, he received a text ssage from Su Xiaong!
——I’m not asking too much. I’m on the third floor of the villa. Run over from where you are and apologize to now!
Yin Shixiu raised his brows.
——Okay.
He replied with just one word.
Su Xiaong was stunned for a mont, thought about it, feeling a bit uneasy, not knowing whether he would really co or, like her, he was just joking.
Hmm...
——You’re not really coming, are you?
——How could I not fulfill a request from Madam?
Su Xiaong pursed her lips, hearing Yin Shixiu call her "Madam" over and over again that night, she was quite pleased.
She giggled silently, feeling very satisfied.
No matter if Yin Shixiu was joking, she carefully replied to the ssage.
——I was kidding, it’s freezing outside, I can’t bear for you to freeze! Hee hee, aren’t I good? (Blinking eyes).
Yin Shixiu smiled.
——Since you said so, then I won’t co.
——I knew you were comforting !
Su Xiaong thought, he agreed so breezily, he must’ve calculated she wouldn’t bear for him to co so late in such cold.
——Otherwise, should I co over?
——Then let’s forget it...
Su Xiaong dropped her gaze mournfully, feeling so useless!
Whether he cos or not, it’s all her choice.
Yin Shixiu on the other side must be feeling quite smug!
——ng ng, today... do you have sothing you didn’t tell ?
Yin Shixiu’s expression darkened slightly, he took a puff of his cigarette and let it out slowly.
Su Xiaong blinked again...
Sothing she didn’t tell him?
——Why didn’t you tell you almost got hit by a car?
Su Xiaong looked at the text, biting her lip.
She was actually quite worried, and originally didn’t want to let him know, especially after seeing Grandpa and Mom so scared.
But then Grandpa went to the Yin Family, and Su Xiaong thought Yin Shixiu should definitely find out...
Yet, all night long, he never ntioned it, she even thought... he seed unaware!
Clearly, it wasn’t that he didn’t know; he just waited for her to bring it up...
——Grandpa went over, thought you knew! But now, I’m perfectly fine and there’s nothing to worry about, why specifically ntion it?
Yin Shixiu looked at those few words...
Sighed lightly.
——Just felt you should tell .
Tell him how scared she was at that mont.
——Co on, it’s in the past now, no use bringing it up! By the way, who were those two today, Grandpa didn’t say, are they close to you?
——Big brother’s son and daughter-in-law.
Su Xiaong thought, just feeling the Yin Family was so prosperous...
There are Yin Family mbers everywhere.
——Technically, they should call you Aunt.
Su Xiaong saw the text from Yin Shixiu, and she laughed right away!
——Aunt?!
——Yes, tomorrow they should co with Mom and Dad to apologize to you and Grandpa. As an elder, if you want to make things difficult, you can think about it tonight.
——I think just the fact that they have to call Little Aunt is difficult enough for them! Hahaha! (Mad laugh).
Yin Shixiu shook his head.
Just a little girl’s mind, no cure.
Su Xiaong thought of those overbearing and arrogant couples having to call her Little Aunt, feeling more and more comfortable inside.
Stretching lazily, feeling a bit sleepy, outside the living room, mom and grandpa still hadn’t quieted down!
She gave in!
Maybe she was into chatting with her husband and felt the room was a bit warm, so she half-opened the window...
The cool air rushed into the room, making it much more comfortable.
Su Xiaong looked around this mountaintop evening, casually gazing, about to pull her head back and close the window again...
Across the outside wall, beneath the streetlight by the side door, a wisp of smoke rose in rings...
So clear under the bright yellow light, yet quickly dissipated.
Following that wisp of smoke, she saw part of a tall figure leaning slightly by the streetlight...
Is it possible...
Su Xiaong’s entire body suddenly felt like blood rushing into her heart!
Staring intently at that figure, her fingers trembled slightly as she dialed soone’s number.
Yin Shixiu was just lowering his head, and then saw Su Xiaong’s call coming in.
Answered...
"Uncle, you... where are you?"
Her voice asking was extrely unnatural...
Yin Shixiu instinctively looked up, only to see that the window was half-open, a little head was poking out, neck stretched long.
He chuckled lightly, raised his hand slightly, and waved at her.
Su Xiaong’s eyes imdiately ward, filled with water droplets.
"Uncle, are you an idiot?"
Her voice ca out hoarse, from a mont of choked-up emotion.
"Uh..."
Yin Shixiu was a bit speechless, then laughed softly, "If I’m an idiot, what would you be?"
"...idiot wife..."
Su Xiaong pouted, mumbled reluctantly.
Over there, Yin Shixiu’s cheerful and unrestrained voice imdiately ca through the phone.
Su Xiaong withdrew her head, closed the window, and grabbed her down jacket, rushing outside.
"Xiaong? Where are you going?"
Over here, Bai Fengmao was actually a bit sleepy too, preparing to head back to his room to rest.
Then he saw the little girl sprinting out of the room! Looking so eager.
Over there, Bai Sixian also looked puzzled.
Su Xiaong didn’t care about anything, just before heading out of the room, she said to them, "Grandpa, Mom, go to sleep first, don’t worry about , I have a date!"
Su Xiaong said and left, leaving behind Bai Fengmao with a confused elderly look.
"It’s so late, what did she just say she was going to do?"
Bai Sixian thought for a mont, glanced at the bedroom, and then walked to the window in the bedroom, looking outside.
Yin Shixiu’s position wasn’t actually conspicuous, Bai Sixian looked once and didn’t see him, only saw his figure on the second gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Bai Sixian turned back to Bai Fengmao and said, "Don’t worry, you get to sleep early."
Hearing Bai Sixian say this, Bai Fengmao understood...
His voice turned cold, "Is it Yin Shixiu?"
"Besides Yin Shixiu, who else could make your granddaughter rush like a mad rabbit?"
Bai Fengmao let out a snort from his nose.
Bai Sixian soothed her father’s back, hugging him back to his own room.
Returning, she took a shower, just lay down, and her phone rang at the right ti.
Bai Sixian picked up the phone, seeing the caller ID, her brows and eyes gently curved, answered—
"Hello."
"Wife... I miss you..."
Su Xiaong ran downstairs while slipping on the down jacket she picked up.
This wasn’t even the black thin down jacket she wore earlier today that got torn, but her grandpa’s large-sized dark blue down jacket.
Putting it on herself, she looked sowhat like a giant Russian nesting doll.
Jogging to the side door of the yard, the annoying thing was that this door was locked from the inside...
Who locks a door from the inside?
Su Xiaong scratched her hair, contemplating whether to find a servant from the servant’s room to unlock the door, her eyes glanced and saw a large pine tree planted by the wall.
The large pine tree was planted in a huge earthen jar with a diater of about two ters.
Su Xiaong’s eyes lit up as she walked over, after climbing the earthen jar, her head was already over the wall.
Yin Shixiu was puzzled about why Su Xiaong suddenly hung up and went back inside, then heard sounds getting closer and very familiar.
"Uncle... Uncle... over here!"
Su Xiaong waved at him.
Yin Shixiu looked towards the sound, stunned for a mont, without having ti to say anything, saw Su Xiaong use the cut-off knobs on the pine tree trunk, climbed onto the wall in a few quick moves!
For a mont, Yin Shixiu felt his heart leap.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xiaong panted heavily, "That, that door is locked from the inside. Calling a servant is too troubleso!"
"So... climbing over the wall?!"
Yin Shixiu really couldn’t keep up with Su Xiaong’s logic.
"It’s okay, not that high, there’s a big earthen jar below, didn’t you see?"
Su Xiaong, afraid he’d worry, quickly explained, and then her eyes glanced around as if looking for a spot to land...
"Uncle, I’m jumping down, catch !"
Su Xiaong’s two legs were already over, but looking down from the two-ter high wall was still a bit scary.
Yin Shixiu hadn’t realized Su Xiaong was soone who acted so decisively before, he hadn’t had ti to express any objections, saw Su Xiaong take two deep breaths, closed her eyes, and jumped down...
