C59 I like You (1/2)

Lan Xi's words silenced the two men.

Lu Zihao looked awkwardly at Lan Xi, then looked at his boss. He felt that he should disappear by now. However, before he could come to a conclusion, he braced himself and asked Xiao Yunyi the same question, ”Then what about you, boss? What did you eat last night? ”

”Similar to her, but I haven't had any soup.”

When Xiao Yunyi said this, the others immediately felt that something was wrong.

If Xiao Yunyi hadn't tasted that soup, it was likely that Mu Yaran hadn't either. However, this was only their guess, so they couldn't be sure.

With this thought, Lu Zihao directly asked, ”Then, do you remember if Mu Yaran drank this soup?”

Before Xiao Yunyi could say anything, Lan Xi rejected him.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at each other, she continued, ”Last night, Mu Yaran only stayed in the dining room for a short while before returning to her room, because she wasn't feeling well.”

Although she said that for Lu Zihao to hear, Lan Xi's gaze was focused on Xiao Yunyi. The latter felt a little guilty for some reason.

Sensing that the atmosphere between the two was getting weirder and weirder, Lu Zihao nodded his head, indicating that he understood. After that, he greeted Xiao Yunyi and told him that he would continue investigating further. He already had a general idea of what was going on, so he quickly left the room.

After Lu Zihao left, there were only two people left in the room.

Lan Xi was lying on the bed with her back facing Xiao Yunyi. The latter was standing beside the bed, her burning gaze glued to Lan Xi's body.

She couldn't help it for a while, so she turned around and said to him, ”Didn't the doctor tell me to walk around a bit more? Then why don't you help me walk around on the ground.”

Xiao Yunyi nodded and picked her up before placing her on the ground.

After lying down for so long, Lan Xi's legs gave way and she was about to fall down, but Xiao Yunyi held her back. Lan Xi raised her head to look at his serious eyes. For some reason, she felt wronged. She lowered her head to bite her lips as tears fell from her eyes.

”What's wrong? ”Don't cry …” Xiao Yunyi's tone was warm and panicked.

Lan Xi's tears fell even more violently.

Although she had already confessed to Xiao Yunyi, she still felt very depressed in her heart, as well as a faint sense of fear.

She didn't know how kind Xiao Yunyi was to her now, but who would he give his gentleness to in the future? Could it be Mu Yaran? His fiancée.

She was depressed and had nowhere to vent her feelings. She could only express herself with tears. From her silent crying at the beginning to her crying later, it was as if Lan Xi wanted to shed all the tears in her life. At the same time, it was as though she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart.

Xiao Yunyi helped Lan Xi to sit on the bed, while he himself sat on the chair opposite her.

He watched her vent her feelings, silently wiping away her tears.

Lan Xi slowly calmed down. Then, she turned her head when Xiao Yunyi reached out his hand once more, causing his hand to miss its target.
