After Shen Xi finished her meal, she rested for over ten minutes, arranged for the children, and then went to Villa No. 1 with her medicine box.
It was already 8:30 PM after she finished acupuncture for Xu Zhilan.
As she was packing up, Qin Si Ye opened the door and walked in.
Seeing him in casual wear, a black baseball cap on his head, walking towards her, Shen Xi almost burst out laughing.
"Si Ye, you're back just in time. Hurry and see Xi Xi out," Xu Zhilan said, her face lighting up as soon as she saw Qin Si Ye.
"Okay." Qin Si Ye exchanged a meaningful glance with her.
Shen Xi bid farewell to Xu Zhilan, and the two walked out the door one after the other.
The man suddenly stopped and loudly asked Shen Xi, "Why did you laugh when you saw me just now?"
"Ah?" Shen Xi exclaimed.
She hadn't expected her slight change in expression to be so keenly noticed.
And they were quite far apart at the time.
Could this man have 20/20 vision?
"I rarely see you wearing a hat, so I was a bit surprised."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye was about to take off his hat, but then he adjusted it and asked with a smile, "Do you think I look good in a hat?"
Shen Xi hadn't expected him to ask that.
But she had to admit that if this person was good-looking, no matter what he wore or whether he wore a hat, it couldn't hide the nobility and handsomeness radiating from him.
Qin Si Ye was precisely that kind of person.
"You look good," Shen Xi blurted out frankly.
Qin Si Ye withdrew his hand. "If you think it looks good, then I'll keep wearing it."
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Shen Xi rolled her eyes at him, stood on her tiptoes, and quickly took off his hat.
"Even if it looks good, you can't wear it 24 hours a day. There's no one else here. Keeping the wound covered like this isn't conducive to recovery."
"Alright. Whatever you say goes, I'll listen to everything you say." Qin Si Ye looked at her with affection and grasped her other hand.
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she gently struggled. "Let go quickly. Didn't you forget what I said? No touching."
Qin Si Ye completely ignored her. Instead, he pulled her forcefully towards him and argued, whispering in her ear, "You touched me first. This is called an eye for an eye."
"Qin Si Ye, you..." Shen Xi was so angered by him that she was about to push back with all her might, but the man took her small hand and walked towards the car.
"I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are we going so late?" Shen Xi was surprised and looked at him sideways with surprise.
"You'll know when we get there." Qin Si Ye said, already ushering her into the passenger seat.
Before Shen Xi could react, he quickly fastened her seatbelt.
"Qin Si Ye, isn't this too overbearing? You're taking me away without even telling me where we're going!" Shen Xi glared at the man who had just gotten into the car, her eyes filled with slight anger.
Qin Si Ye glanced at her, the corner of his lips curling into a handsome arc, and said with a half-joking tone, "Don't worry, I won't sell you. Besides, I wouldn't be able to bear it.
Just come with me. I want to give you a surprise."
Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn't help but curiously ask, "What surprise?"
"Since it's a surprise, I can't tell you. You'll know when we get there." Qin Si Ye glanced at her and immediately started the car, driving out of the community.
The car soon reached the main road, and Qin Si Ye turned his head to ask, "Was the hospital very busy today? You were working overtime in the morning and evening."
"Ah?" Shen Xi was stunned by his question, then replied, "It was quite busy. I saw patients in the outpatient building in the morning, and my godmother had a car accident at noon. The overtime in the evening was also because of her."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's heart skipped a beat. No wonder when he and Gu Lin finished dinner quickly, he didn't see her and Song Kai Cheng.
"Who is your godmother?"
"Yi Fei's mother," Shen Xi replied softly.
"Oh." Qin Si Ye asked with concern, "How is she now?"
"She's alright. She fractured her lower leg and it's already been splinted," Shen Xi replied.
She had mentioned the morning, noon, and evening, but not the dinner with Song Kai Cheng. It seemed she wasn't being entirely honest with him.
Thinking of this, a hint of sadness crept into Qin Si Ye's eyes.
The next second, Shen Xi said, "Brother Kai Cheng suddenly returned today. At noon, when you called me to have dinner, I was in my aunt's room. Just now, under her arrangement, I agreed to welcome Brother Kai Cheng back."
