The news of Bai Sha's arrival had been lingering in Li Weixi's ears, but there had been no news. Over the past two days, she had let her guard down a lot.
On this day, when it was time for Chi Zhihan to visit the villa, Li Weixi sat in the living room and waited for her. She even chased Lin Yi out to buy things.
When Chi Zhihan arrived, she stuck her head out of the door uneasily and asked, "Will Lin Yi be unhappy to see me?"
"No." Li Weixi pulled her in. "I chased Lin Yi out. He's not here."
"I see." Chi Zhihan immediately heaved a sigh of relief and walked in. "It's finally his day off. How can you chase him out like this?"
Li Weixi said disapprovingly, "He has been very free recently. He even skipped work at home yesterday. It's fine. Come in and have a seat."
"Okay." Chi Zhihan sat on the sofa.
Aunt Lin had brought them some snacks. Knowing that they were going to talk, she went outside to water the flowers.
Chi Zhihan spoke absent-mindedly as she ate the snacks.
Li Weixi saw that there was no one around, so she asked directly, "What did you mean in the text message a few days ago?"
Chi Zhihan was stunned. Her hand that was holding the snacks paused and she sighed. "Actually, I don't know what to say. I just don't want to let my imagination run wild."
Li Weixi took out her cell phone, opened the text message and placed it in front of Chi Zhihan. It was a text message sent by Chi Zhihan two days ago. It said, "The Thirteenth Master might be getting married."
When Chi Zhihan saw the words in the text message, she felt that it was particularly irritating. She threw the snacks back onto the plate in a fit of pique.
Li Weixi asked, "What's going on? How did you know? Did he tell you? "
"No." Chi Zhihan shook her head slowly. "I overheard it."
"Overheard it?"
"Yes, it's also a coincidence."
Chi Zhihan smiled bitterly. "That day, I went to eat with my colleagues and happened to see The Thirteenth Master and another person ordering food. I don't know why, but I didn't dare to greet them at that time. I secretly sat next to them and eavesdropped on them through a screen."
Li Weixi could more or less guess what he was feeling. He was afraid that Chi Zhihan was upset because of what had happened at Christmas.
After Chi Zhihan finished speaking, he fell silent and had no intention of continuing.
Li Weixi had no choice but to take the initiative to ask, "What did you overhear?"
Chi Zhihan was in a daze, as if he hadn't heard her. After a long time, he sighed. "After I sat down, I heard The Thirteenth Master call that woman 'sister'. At that time, I was quite happy. At least he wasn't dating another woman. However, what he said next made me even sadder."
As he spoke, he sighed again. In just a few short sentences, he couldn't help but sigh several times. Li Weixi couldn't help but sigh.
Chi Zhihan paused before she continued. "I heard his sister ask him if he had a girlfriend. He denied it and said that he was just fooling around. After that, his sister said that his family had set their eyes on a woman. If he didn't like anyone, he would marry that woman."
"The Thirteenth Master, he … agreed …"
Agreed? How could a person like the Thirteenth Master agree to his family's arrangement?
Li Weixi found it a little strange and couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't seem like something The Thirteenth Master would do."
"I think so too." Chi Zhihan said, "If someone else told me this, I definitely wouldn't believe it. However, this time, I heard it with my own ears. The Thirteenth Master also agreed very easily. Why wouldn't I believe it?"
At the end of her sentence, her tone became a little higher, as if she was a little agitated.
Li Weixi quickly comforted her. "Don't be anxious. Why don't you ask him?"
"Don't bother." Chi Zhihan shook her head and said, "I've been calling him for the past two days, but he didn't get through. He obviously doesn't want to talk to me."
He didn't answer the phone?
Li Weixi's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that he deliberately let you hear it?"
"That's what I thought at first." Chi Zhihan said slowly, "But now it seems that I was overthinking. It was all my wishful thinking. Even if he did it on purpose, would his sister cooperate with him? Besides, I've asked around and it's true. "
Li Weixi fell silent.
Chi Zhihan took a sip of fruit juice. Her eyes were a little empty. "I know you're doing this for my own good, but you don't have to go through so much trouble. I just feel a little uncomfortable alone, so I want to find someone to accompany me. As for The Thirteenth Master … I think it's better to forget about it."
Li Weixi looked at her silently. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
At noon, Chi Zhihan stayed for lunch. Aunt Lin's cooking was so good that even a sad person like her couldn't help but praise her after eating.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Miss Chi, if you like it, you can come here often in the future. In the past, The Thirteenth Master often came here to eat. Now that there's one more person, it's even more lively."
Upon hearing the words "The Thirteenth Master", Chi Zhihan's face darkened. Li Weixi hurriedly gave Aunt Lin a look.
Although she didn't know the details, Aunt Lin was smart and more or less guessed something. She walked out of the dining room quietly and stopped appearing in front of Chi Zhihan.
After lunch, the two of them sat in the living room and watched a movie. Every time Li Weixi discussed the plot with her, Chi Zhihan would just nod and sound absent-minded.
After the movie ended, Li Weixi couldn't help but stand up and pull Chi Zhihan up. "Stop watching. If you really care about him so much, you can just ask him in person. If you can't get through to him on the phone, you can't possibly lose him, right?"
Chi Zhihan was shocked and hurriedly pulled Li Weixi. "No, I don't want to see him, Sissi."
"Then are you going to be upset all day? If he really gets married, you will definitely be upset. "Li Weixi pulled her to the door forcefully." I will go with you. Don't be afraid. "
Chi Zhihan still shook her head. Li Weixi didn't give her a chance to regret. He asked Aunt Lin to bring her clothes downstairs and pulled her directly out of the door and into the car.
"Sissi …" Chi Zhihan looked at Li Weixi in a pleading tone. "Can you not go?"
"No," Li Weixi said with a stiff face and instructed the driver to go to The Thirteenth Master's restaurant.
Seeing Li Weixi's determined face, Chi Zhihan didn't say anything else. However, she was still nervous. She rubbed her hands anxiously and kept thinking about how to tell the Thirteenth Master when she met him later. Unconsciously, her sadness faded a lot.
Li Weixi kept stealing glances at her. Seeing that she was gradually accepting this matter, he held her hand and comforted her. "Don't be afraid. I will be there later. You don't have to say anything. If you really can't, I will take you away. It's okay."
