Hearing this, Song Kaicheng couldn't help but look up in their direction.
Mei Yun glared at him, "What are you looking at! Study carefully, list some fun places in country B, and make a travel plan."
Shen Xi felt guilty, her mind went blank for a moment, and she just smiled foolishly twice.
After dinner, Shen Xi accompanied Mei Yun for a walk in the courtyard. When she returned to her room and had just finished showering, Qin Siye called her for a video call.
Shen Xi hesitated for a moment, then answered.
She really wanted to see what that man had done to her home.
Soon, Qin Siye's handsome, smiling face appeared on the screen.
"Xi Xi, this is good. Although you are not by my side, I can still see you and relieve my longing for you."
Shen Xi didn't hear what he was saying. Her gaze swept past his figure to the back, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Qin Siye, why are you sleeping in my bedroom?"
The man's lips curled up slightly, and he replied indifferently, "If I don't sleep in your bedroom, where else can I sleep? With my height of 1.88 meters, you wouldn't want me to sleep in a children's bed, would you?"
Shen Xi glared at him with a hint of anger, "Aren't there guest rooms? You could sleep there."
"The guest room is cold, and there are no bedding. How can I sleep?" Qin Siye frowned slightly, thinking his reason was very valid.
Shen Xi said coldly, "Then why didn't you ask me? There are blankets in the closet, and you could just lay them out."
Qin Siye raised an eyebrow slightly, "I was so tired when I got back last night. If there was a ready bed, why would I have the time to do those things?"
"You..." Shen Xi was so angered by him that she was speechless.
Qin Siye was in a good mood and couldn't help but laugh, "Xi Xi, why do you care so much? Aren't we going to sleep in the same bed sooner or later?
Just consider it me getting used to it in advance.
Sleeping in your bed feels really good, just like you're by my side. I slept very soundly last night."
Shen Xi's face turned red, and she said awkwardly, "That's different. We're not together yet. Doing this is... it's just..."
"It's just what?" Qin Siye asked, hooking his lips on the phone.
Suddenly, there was a knock on Shen Xi's door. She quickly whispered, "In short, hurry up and get out of my bedroom. Someone is here, I can't talk to you anymore."
She quickly hung up the video call and hurried to open the door.
But she saw Mei Yun standing outside the door, looking surprised.
"Auntie, you're not asleep yet?"
Mei Yun glanced around the room perceptively and asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"
Shen Xi blinked and smiled, "Xie Yifei."
"Oh?" Mei Yun looked at her with half-belief, "I thought I heard a man's voice?"
Shen Xi's heart trembled slightly, and she quickly said, "That was Jian Fan. Yifei has already left the TV station and is now working at the pharmaceutical company I newly founded.
They both called me for a video call just now to ask about some work matters."
Hearing her say this, Mei Yun's face slowly showed a smile.
"That's good too. I think Jian Fan and Yifei have a good relationship. Are they dating?"
"Yes, Auntie. They have confirmed their relationship," Shen Xi replied with a smile.
"That's great. I never thought that Jian Fan, who is usually so carefree, would be so quick to chase a girl. But some people..." Mei Yun looked at her meaningfully, hesitating to speak.
She actually wanted to say that Kaicheng was not as good as Jian Fan in this regard, but she swallowed the words back.
She was afraid that if she said it, she would scare Shen Xi away, and all her efforts would be in vain.
Perhaps Jian Fan was different from Kaicheng; he didn't have a formidable rival like "Qin Siye" around him.
Shen Xi immediately understood who she was referring to. For some reason, she was also afraid of her bringing up this topic.
One reason was that she couldn't answer. Another was that she was afraid that if she told the truth, her aunt would get angry and sad again.
But dragging it on like this was not a solution and was too unfair to her and Brother Kaicheng.
She made up her mind that after she cured Mayor Abel's illness, she would have a long talk with Brother Kaicheng and her aunt before returning to China to clarify everything.
She absolutely could not choose after a month as Qin Siye had suggested.
For the next few days, she wanted to happily accompany them here and repay as much of their past kindness as she could.
Just then, Song Kaicheng's voice came from behind them, "What are you guys doing? Why are you standing here chatting?"
