She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Just after six o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them came out after finishing their meal.

When Zhou Yufan's friends learned that he had returned to China, they drove to pick him up and arranged two events for him.

"Junior, I'll be going now." Zhou Yufan smiled at Fang Li, his tone revealing that he had thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Fang Li smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road, and remember not to be late tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I still have that much professional ethics," Zhou Yufan said with a smile.

Just then, his friend's car pulled up in front of him, and he waved to Yu Tian beside him: "Goodbye, Lao Yu."

After just one meal, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Zhou Yufan seems to have such charm that he can find topics to talk about, even with someone like Yu Tian who is not good at socializing.

Yu Tian nodded: "See you tomorrow."

Zhou Yufan opened the car door, got in, and rolled down the window to wave to the two of them again.

Fang Li waved to him, and the car slowly drove off, soon merging into the traffic.

Watching the car drive away, Fang Li turned her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yu Tian, ​​"Let's go, let's go back too."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get the car."

......

It took more than forty minutes to get back to the villa from the university town, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I got home.

Fang Li didn't seem to have done anything today, but she inexplicably felt exhausted. When she got home, she took her phone into the bathroom, intending to take a bath and then go to sleep.

She filled the bathtub with water, added a few drops of essential oil and scattered a few flower petals. Just as she was about to take off her clothes and get in, her phone, which was on the sink next to her, suddenly vibrated.

Fang Li paused, her hands gripping her collar, and turned to look in that direction.

Who could it be at this point?

She let go of his hand with suspicion, turned around and walked over, picking up her phone.

When her gaze fell on the phone screen, two bright characters made her, whose mind had calmed down a bit, suddenly stir, and she couldn't help but frown.

Fang Li held her breath and looked at herself in the mirror with her long hair casually tied up. Her face was pale and delicate, with faint dark circles showing through her foundation.

Thinking of those photos, her fingers tightened and her brow furrowed.

The phone in her hand went silent, but just as she was about to pretend she hadn't seen it, it suddenly vibrated and lit up again.

Fang Li took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart. She calmed herself down and opened her eyes before answering the call just as the phone was about to go dark.

"Sleep?"

A deep, resonant voice came from the man.

Fang Li pursed her lips and truthfully replied, "...No."

"How was your day? Are you tired?"

"It's alright." Seemingly realizing that her consistently brief answers weren't ideal, she changed her mind and asked, "What about you? Isn't it boring to be in meetings all day?"

"Yes."

Fang Li was taken aback.

Then the man said in a low, hoarse voice, "I want to go home right now."

The word "home" floated out like a feather and landed on Fang Li's heart.

He teased her until she felt both itchy and uncomfortable.

Thinking about the girl he met at the restaurant during the day, so... is the reason he wants to go home because that girl is back?

Fang Li moved her lips, almost asking the question, but ultimately held back.

She didn't seem to have the right to ask about his private affairs.

Just then, Han Xi's voice came through the receiver again: "Aunt Rong said you went out to eat with your colleagues tonight. What did you eat?"

"I ate at a Sichuan restaurant recommended by someone else."

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

"It's alright, there are quite a lot of people eating here," Fang Li said.

Han Xi: "Really? Then let's go again when I get back."

Fang Li remained silent: "Let's talk about it when you get back."

The topic ended there, and neither side spoke. A slightly tense atmosphere was conveyed through the receiver.

"You seem unhappy, what's wrong?"

To be honest, this man's keen perception always leaves no room for escape; even over the phone, he was still able to detect her unusual behavior.

"Nothing much," Fang Li replied almost without thinking. "I'm just a little tired and want to take a shower... and go to bed early." Unfortunately, she didn't get to finish the sentence.

"Have you missed me?" he suddenly interrupted her, asking this question.

"..." Fang Li suddenly stopped breathing, her heart pounding in her throat. "I..."

"I miss you."

"...Hiccup~~!"

"......"

"belch!"

After a moment of silence, a low, hoarse laugh came from the other end of the receiver.

Since they met, Fang Li had never heard him laugh like this before. This was also the first time she had heard a man's laughter sound so beautiful, like the bewitching sound of a bell, deep and resonant.

Fang Li's cheeks turned red without her noticing.

She covered her mouth in annoyance, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest through her skin and clothes.

This feeling made her both ashamed and embarrassed, and along with her embarrassment came a bit of anger!

Why!

How could he so easily win her heart?

Why should a few photos keep her up all night and make her feel uneasy all day, and then a few ambiguous words make her heart race and lose her composure?

"I'm hanging up now, I'm not talking to you anymore."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

The man's deep, hoarse laughter was cut off. Fang Li reached up and covered her cheek, pinching it angrily. "Spineless! Stupid!"

...Haicheng, top floor of H Hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Han Xi's smile deepened.

----Boss, someone took photos of you and Ms. Yang last night. It seems your wife knows about it. Today at the airport, she saw me picking up Ms. Yang, and then she followed us all the way to the restaurant at Peking University.

Han Xi raised an eyebrow, glanced at the message Jiang Bei had sent in the chat box on his phone, turned to look out the window at the flashing neon lights, his gaze deep and shimmering with starlight.

-

The next day.

Fang Li suffered from insomnia for the first half of the night, and only managed to drift off to sleep in the second half.

She had just fallen asleep around 7 a.m. when a sudden commotion outside woke her up.

Fang Li was irritable when she woke up because she hadn't had enough sleep and had been woken up by noise.

He rolled around on the bed twice, holding his head, and only after confirming that he couldn't block out the noise and fall asleep again did he sit up, his face dark, throw off the covers, get out of bed, and go into the bathroom.

After quickly washing up and getting dressed, she went out and headed downstairs.

however.

She had just opened the door and hadn't even stepped out when a dark figure pounced on her. She instinctively closed her eyes and was tackled to the ground before she could react.

“Woof woof!!!”

"Benny!"

"careful!"

A colossal, jet-black creature stepped directly onto Fang Li. Fang Li only had time to cover her face with her hands before a sharp, piercing pain shot through her wrists as the danger approached and pressed down on her.

"Oh my god! Madam!!!"
