The boss always wants to smack me

Hearing this, Mu Liusu finally had some expression on his face, and helplessly stretched out his hand to drag Cai Xiaotang in.

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows at her amusedly.

"You see, with her curiosity, it's hard not to get into trouble. Fortunately, she just eavesdropped on the two of us..."

Li Xiao said this to Mu Liusu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Liusu rubbed Cai Xiaotang's head angrily.

"Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?"

he asked with a frown.

"I……"

Cai Xiaotang faltered for a moment, and then suddenly answered wisely: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you! That's why I want to come over and have a word with you!"

"Miss me? Then you spend so much time every day, and you haven't seen me go to the company to see me."

Mu Liusu exposed her lie without hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang was so blocked by him that he had nothing to say, so he could only look at Li Xiao who was begging for help.

This guy is talking!

I ran up because I was worried that he would be scolded!

After receiving her "distress signal", Li Xiao hastily coughed lightly, and asked, "Did you hear what we just said?"

"Um……"

Cai Xiaotang nodded, carefully glanced at Mu Liusu next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother...so...you are also black and shy?"

"Dark society?"

Mu Liusu was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Li Xiao, with some doubts in his eyes, as if to say, "You are talking nonsense with Xiaotang, what did you say?"

Seeing this, Li Xiao suppressed his smile even more, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaotang, we are not a gangster, didn't I already tell you?"

"Oh! Yes! It's not the underworld! It's that...Interpol organization!"

Cai Xiaotang smiled flatteringly at her elder brother.

"Brother... I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your secrets, and... I know the seriousness of the matter, so I can understand better self-protection, and Li Xiao has been teaching me self-defense all this time. .It is to make me run faster when I encounter danger! So this time it is not his fault..."

She finally got to the point in the last sentence, and Mu Liusu snorted uncompromisingly.

"I didn't say anything, but you started to protect your shortcomings? It's only been a long time since you married, and your elbows are turning outward like this..."

Mu Liusu deliberately complained.

Cai Xiaotang paused when he heard the words, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Li Xiao was taken aback, looking at Cai Xiaotang's expression, an unnatural look flashed across his face for a moment.

"I'm just talking about the facts... I didn't deliberately talk to anyone..." Cai Xiaotang defended palely.

Mu Liusu didn't pursue it any further, but said worriedly: "Since you already know, I don't have anything to hide from you. Li Xiao and I belong to the same organization, and we are at the same level. The leader of the sect is only in charge of two different groups of people. No one in the Mu family knows about this, so..."

"So I will definitely keep the secret for you! I won't say a word!"

Before Mu Liusu finished speaking, Cai Xiaotang instantly understood what he meant.

Mu Liusu nodded: "It's good to know, now that curiosity is satisfied, can you go back to rest? Li Xiao and I still have something to talk about."

"Okay! Then I'm leaving, you guys talk!"

Knowing that the two of them might have to chat about some secrets, Cai Xiaotang simply turned around and left.

As soon as he closed the door, he suddenly remembered something.

No wonder I felt familiar when I saw Li Xiao's little iron piece carved with patterns before!

My brother seems to have one too!

I accidentally saw it when I went to his study!

That should be something like the sign of the secret door, right?

Cai Xiaotang didn't think much, and went back to her room.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself on the bed.

It was getting dark outside, she hastily turned on the light, and then she felt relieved.

The room was so quiet that she couldn't help but recall what happened today.

The memory of the moment of falling into the water is already a little blurred.

At that time, I only felt that my whole body was icy cold, and my body was sinking rapidly, almost certain death.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xiao's anxious face at a glance.

He was the one who saved himself...

I never thought that surviving was such a happy thing...

It was also the first time I discovered that when life and death were at stake, I would suddenly realize that there are still so many regrets that have not been completed.

like something to eat...

The goal I want to accomplish...

Also, those who didn't have time to confess.

Fortunately, it's not too late now.

It's just that if I suddenly confess now, I'm afraid it will scare Li Xiao...

That guy who is straight at one moment and crazy at the other, at what time should he choose to express his feelings to him...

Cai Xiaotang was thinking about all kinds of things in a mess, and fell asleep after a while.

In the study—

It took another two hours for Li Xiao and Mu Liusu to finish their conversation.

Knowing that Cai Xiaotang had returned to the room to rest, Mu Liusu left in peace.

Li Xiao sent the person outside the door, and looked upstairs hesitantly.

Do you want to go up and see her...

After being so frightened today, she must not be as calm as she appears...

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, finally sighed helplessly, and went in the direction of Cai Xiaotang's room.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

He stood outside the door and knocked tentatively.

There was no sound in the room.

"Little sugar?"

Li Xiao yelled again.

The room was still silent and there was no reaction.

"are you asleep……"

Li Xiao frowned slightly, looked at the light shining through the crack of the door, and tentatively twisted the handle a little worriedly.

With a "click", the door was not locked.

He walked in smoothly, and immediately saw a figure curled up on the bed.

Cai Xiaotang almost huddled together, her face flushed abnormally, but she kicked the quilt aside.

"Little sugar!"

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Li Xiao quickly walked over and reached out to test the temperature of her forehead.

It was really hot.

"Cai Xiaotang? Xiaotang?"

Li Xiao tentatively called Cai Xiaotang a few more times.

Cai Xiaotang kept his eyes closed, his lips tightly pressed, and his chest heaved continuously.

In her dream, she was surrounded by endless sea water.

She tried hard to breathe, but it was all in vain. She felt that her chest was tight and uncomfortable, and all she could see was blue, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Help……

Who will save her...

Cai Xiaotang tightly closed her mouth, afraid that if she opened a small gap, she would be choked to death.

The next second—

She suddenly felt her wrist being pulled and pulled upwards continuously.

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Cai Xiaotang grabbed the temperature within reach...
