Before Pei Yunge could turn around and say anything, she suddenly heard a voice from the door.
“Yunge.”
Pei Yunge looked up and saw Ji Yiqing walking in from the door.
She did not notice Huo Shidu’s expression at that moment.
“Why are you here?” Pei Yunge was a little surprised.
“You forgot to take your things.”
Ji Yiqing handed the book he had brought over to her.
Hearing their conversation, those who didn’t know better would think that these two had a good relationship in private. Pei Yunge could even forget to leave her book with Ji Yiqing.
But at this moment…
Pei Yunge only noticed the thick computing book in Ji Yiqing’s hand and took it instinctively.
She said, “Thank you.”
Ji Yiqing chuckled. “This book’s cover is in a foreign language. There’s no translation.”
After all, it was Pei Yunge’s book, so Ji Yiqing did not flip through it randomly. He only sized up the cover of the book. It was filled with obscure professional terms.
“Mm, I like to flip through them when I can’t sleep.” Pei Yunge nodded.
The two of them seemed to be chatting happily.
However…
The man was being neglected beside them. The man’s handsome eyes were calm, but there was an imperceptible coldness.
His posture was lazy and cold. He unconsciously licked the tip of his teeth and looked at Ji Yiqing with a faint smile.
Soon.
Even Ji Yiqing felt a chill run down his spine and turned to look at Huo Shidu instinctively.
“So Master Du is here too.”
In the beginning, when he was chatting with Pei Yunge, he found out that Pei Yunge had returned to the Qin family’s old mansion. He even thought that Master Du was really planning to turn vegetarian?
However, he never thought that in the blink of an eye, even Master Du would come to someone else’s house to chase after a little girl.
Wasn’t he afraid that the young masters of the Qin family would hold a grudge against him?
He was too daring.
“It looks like Young Master Ji hopes that I’m not here.” The man’s tone was light and his pale-colored pupils were abstruse. However, the corners of his upturned eyes were charming.
However, Ji Yiqing only felt a sense of danger in this gaze.
“Master Du, you must be joking. How can I?”
Ji Yiqing laughed dryly and suddenly had an idea, wanting to tweak the atmosphere. “Isn’t it time to eat?”
The man said slowly, “If Young Master Ji wants to eat, you can go back early.”
Ji Yiqing was speechless.
Sure, it was a very straightforward order to chase him out.
At this moment, how could Ji Yiqing not see that Huo Shidu was finding him an eyesore?
So…
Ji Yiqing looked at Pei Yunge. “Yunge…”
Pei Yunge, who did not notice this, glanced at the two of them. “It’s still early to eat.”
“…”
Ji Yiqing gave a fake smile. “Then you…”
Huo Shidu did not look at Ji Yiqing. Instead, he reached out naturally and tidied Pei Yunge’s slightly messy hair.
He asked nonchalantly, “Do you want to go and train with Older Brother?”
…
Huo Shidu thought that this child was only in her second year of high school, but he had never seen her exercise much. If she was in her third year of high school, her body might not be able to withstand the rigor.
Therefore, after Pei Yunge changed her clothes, he brought her to the garden behind the villa.
However…
What Huo Shidu did not expect was that Ji Yiqing would be so thick-skinned to actually follow them persistently.
“Master Du, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. Why are you so unwilling to see me?”
Ji Yiqing asked with a smile on purpose.
Huo Shidu glanced at the little girl who was running on the other side of the lake and turned around.
He said carelessly, “When did you become so close with my child?”
