"Ugh …" Ziyu realized that her words weren't very realistic- it didn't make sense. She should be doing what Chen Xi said, going back to school or the infirmary first. Why would she go home? School wasn't even over yet! But Ziyu's brain was quick- she thought of a plan right away. "Yes, it's Grandpa Zhu. He was scavenging near the school, so I called him over to help. The two of us carried you back!"
"I see!" Chen Xi nodded, believing Ziyu's words. After all, Boss Zhu often scavenged near the school, and Chen Xi knew about it. "Then I'll have to go thank Grandpa Zhu personally."
With that, Chen Xi got up to go find Boss Zhu. She was a very polite girl, and since Boss Zhu helped carry her back, she naturally wouldn't act like she didn't know.
"Ah? Don't … Don't go! " Ziyu jumped. Boss Zhu was talking to Lin Yi downstairs, where was Chen Xi supposed to go find Boss Zhu?
"What's wrong? Ziyu sis? "Chen Xi said, startled by Ziyu's reaction.
"Um … Grandpa Zhu has a guest …" Ziyu said.
"A guest?" Chen Xi was even more curious. She'd known Boss Zhu for so many years, and she never knew that he had any friends. The only guests in his house were her and her mom, right? So Chen Xi subconsciously thought that her mom was at Boss Zhu's house. "It's fine, having a guest doesn't stop me from saying thanks! Ziyu sis, I'll be going first! "
Ziyu saw that Chen Xi was leaving and quickly pulled her back. "Don't go, don't go, Grandpa Zhu isn't home. He's talking to Lin Yi downstairs … Wha?"
In her panic, Ziyu spilled the beans and brought up Lin Yi's name …
"Lin Yi bro's here? Downstairs? "Chen Xi paused and turned to Ziyu.
"No, no, I mean, Grandpa Zhu is scavenging in the forest downstairs!" Ziyu quickly changed her words, but the pronunciation was quite similar.
"Grandpa Zhu is scavenging in the forest downstairs?" Chen Xi's eyes widened. "There's … a forest downstairs? There are no forests in our district, right? "
"Ha, that's my mistake. I meant the little garden in the district," Ziyu explained.
"Little garden?" Chen Xi was even more puzzled: "There are people from the property management company cleaning the small garden every day, where is there anything to pick up?"
Chen Xi often went scavenging with Boss Zhu, and she knew very well whether or not they could find anything in the little garden. Ziyu's words were very strange to her.
"This … I don't know either!" Ziyu was getting a headache, not expecting Chen Xi to be this gullible. She wouldn't have kept it a secret if she'd known earlier. She could've just said that Lin Yi was here too, and he helped her beat Chen Xiaoba away. But Ziyu didn't think about it before. She wanted to keep things simple and cover up the violence, but the lies were getting harder and harder to cover up. She had to tell ten lies to cover up, and it was really troublesome. Ziyu couldn't cover up her own lies anymore, so she stopped.
"Ziyu sis, are you hiding something from me?" Chen Xi was starting to get suspicious. She stood up and walked out of the room, "I'll go to the balcony and see what Grandpa Zhu is doing."
"Alright, alright, Xi! Don't go, I'll tell you the truth! "Ziyu saw that Chen Xi was going to the balcony, and she knew that things were going to be exposed! Lin Yi's jeep was parked downstairs, and Chen Xi would definitely recognize it. Ziyu might as well just say it instead of letting Chen Xi see through it herself.
"Ziyu sis? You're hiding something from me? "Chen Xi was a bit surprised- she didn't expect Ziyu to really lie to her.
"Man, I'll tell you the truth. Lin Yi bro saved us, he beat Chen Xiaoba and the others away. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to beat that many people!" Ziyu explained, "But Lin Yi bro seemed to be looking for Grandpa Zhu, so he went to his car to talk. I was afraid that you'd be disappointed if Lin Yi bro came, so I didn't tell you …"
"Ah, is that so …" Chen Xi lowered her eyes, disappointed, "He … doesn't like talking to me …"
"No, Xi, what are you thinking?" Ziyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "See, I told you not to tell you, you'd be disappointed if I did! Actually, Lin Yi bro didn't let me wake you up on purpose. He saw that you've been lacking sleep lately, so he told me to let you sleep a bit more, until you wake up naturally! He really cares about you! "
"Really?" Chen Xi had been going out with Zhu Lao a lot these days, and she had to do her homework when she came back, so it was true that she wasn't getting enough sleep. Lin Yi was a doctor, too, and it wasn't hard for him to see that.
"Of course it's true!" Ziyu nodded, "Plus, you don't know this whole way, but Lin Yi bro was always carrying you carefully, afraid that you'd wake up. He didn't even let us touch you. Being carried by Lin Yi bro, I'm so jealous!"
"Ah??" Chen Xi's face blushed, and all the disappointment was gone. She became happy again, "Then why didn't you tell me, Ziyu sis? I … I'm pretty happy …"
"Hehehe, Lil 'Xi's heart's moved!" Ziyu teased as she looked at Chen Xi's shy face, "But since you're awake, and Lin Yi bro hasn't left yet, why don't you call him and ask him to come up?"
"Ah? Ask Lin Yi bro to come up? Call me? " Chen Xi was a bit tempted, but she still said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Lin Yi bro's already gone, and if I call him back …"
"He's still here, isn't he? He left before because you weren't awake, and he didn't know how long you were going to sleep for, so he left first. But it's different now, you're awake! "Ziyu said.
"That … isn't too good, right?" Chen Xi was a bit embarrassed, "I … I'm embarrassed …"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Ziyu frowned, "Lil 'Xi, I'm telling you, Lin Yi bro has a lot of beauties around him. If you don't work hard, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! I'll be blunt, but do you want to be alone like aunty for the rest of your life? "
