Because of work, Qiao Yixuan had left home early in the morning. Every time Qiao Yixuan left, Li Yinuo would wake up inexplicably and stand by the bed silently watching Qiao Yixuan leave. Every time this happened, Li Yinuo would always have the urge to cry. For some reason, he was afraid that Qiao Yixuan would leave.
Auntie Li was the first to wake up every day. She had already started cleaning the villa before five o'clock. Then, she went to pick the freshest vegetables and fruits and started preparing breakfast. Aunt Li had always been very attentive to Qiao Yixuan and Li Yinuo's diet. She hoped that these two children could grow up healthily and without any illness. They would not die of food poisoning like her son.
Every day at seven o'clock sharp, Aunt Li would wake Li Yinuo up for breakfast. It was Qiao Yixuan's arrangement. Qiao Yixuan rarely slept in. In fact, Qiao Yixuan also hoped that Li Yinuo could sleep a little longer, but he knew that the air was the best at this time of the morning. As long as it was good for Li Yinuo, it didn't matter even if it was a little cruel. However, Li Yinuo had never had the habit of sleeping in. Sometimes, when Aunt Li woke up, Li Yinuo would wake up as well. He would also often help Aunt Li clean the room. Otherwise, Li Yinuo would really be bored to death.
"Auntie Li, why don't you prepare some snacks and food? I still prefer to eat Aunt Li's cooking. "Li Yinuo smiled sweetly at Aunt Li, which made her very happy. Hearing Li Yinuo praise her for cooking is something worth being happy about. Actually, Aunt Li was really afraid that Li Yinuo would be seduced by the little boy that day. However, when they arrived at the gathering point together, Huang Yu did not show any dissatisfaction or unhappiness when he saw that Aunt Li was not unhappy. Aunt Li felt relieved. It seemed that there was really nothing between Li Yinuo and Huang Yu.
The place that Huang Yu brought Li Yinuo to was actually not a mysterious place. It was just a large amusement park. However, in order to increase the number of visitors, the amusement park had built a Haunted House in a relatively lively central area. All the insides of this Haunted House were very realistic. Be it the sound or the characters, coupled with the most advanced technology, they were all extremely lifelike. It gave many people who had the desire to explore a very interesting feeling.
"Huang Yu, I'm scared. What should I do?”Li Yinuo opened her big eyes and looked at Huang Yu pitifully. When Huang Yu saw Li Yinuo's pitiful appearance, he quickly came over to comfort Li Yinuo." It's okay, Yinuo. I'm here. I'll definitely protect you.”Aunt Li blushed when she saw the conversation between the two children. Why were the young people nowadays so mushy?
"Auntie Li, you should come too." Li Yinuo held Auntie Li's hand and pleaded. Auntie Li looked at the scary haunted house and could not even move her feet, let alone enter and be scared.
"Miss Yinuo, I'm already so old, and I'm not like you young people. If I go in and get scared, there won't be anyone to take care of you and Young Master Yixuan in the future.”Aunt Li tried her best to persuade Li Yinuo.
"Who is Young Master Yixuan?”Huang Yu looked at Li Yinuo. He was actually very curious. Could this Yixuan be Yinuo's brother?
Li Yinuo did not know how to answer this question. After a while, she said," Yixuan is the closest person to me. He's even closer than my family.”
Huang Yu could not help but feel a little disappointed when he heard that. However, he still persuaded himself that Young Master Yixuan might just be Li Yinuo's brother.
In the end, Aunt Li still did not dare to go in, so Huang Yu brought Li Yinuo along. The two of them gave the tickets and slowly followed the crowd in. In the beginning, he could still see the things around him. However, the deeper he went, the darker it became. That terrifying and strange voice kept ringing in Li Yinuo's ears, scaring her so much that she kept screaming. As he screamed, he would get closer to Huang Yu. Huang Yu was naturally afraid, but when he saw Li Yinuo huddling beside him, Huang Yu felt that he should take on the responsibility of protecting Li Yinuo like a man.
When Li Yinuo's breathing became more and more chaotic, she finally walked out of the haunted house. Li Yinuo's face was pale, and her lips were trembling non-stop. The fine beads of sweat on her forehead showed that Li Yinuo had really been frightened.
After leaving the haunted house, Li Yinuo told Huang Yu that he was not feeling well and wanted to go back. Aunt Li saw that Li Yinuo was not feeling well, so she left with Li Yinuo, leaving Huang Yu alone. Huang Yu suddenly blamed himself. Li Yinuo was a weak girl after all. He definitely would not like scary things like haunted houses. He was really too stupid.
Aunt Li noticed that something was wrong with Li Yinuo's condition. Her expression looked like she was really suffering.
"Miss Yinuo, are you alright?" Aunt Li looked at Li Yinuo.
"It's okay, Auntie Li." Actually, only Li Yinuo knew that she was really frightened. She felt that her breathing was getting harder and harder, and her forehead was starting to heat up. Ever since she was young, she had only played on the swing at most. She had never played such an intense and exciting game, so Li Yinuo was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
When they reached home, Aunt Li touched Li Yinuo's forehead and was shocked. Li Yinuo's forehead was burning.
Aunt Li carried Li Yinuo to the bed and laid her down. She quickly took out some medicine from the emergency kit and fed it to Li Yinuo. Li Yinuo seemed to be very tired. After taking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, Qiao Yixuan was sitting on the side of her bed, looking at her with an extremely gentle expression.
Yixuan, you're back." Li Yinuo struggled to sit up, but Qiao Yixuan stopped her." You should sleep more."”
Li Yinuo felt that Qiao Yixuan's words were like magic. She really lay down obediently. She looked at Qiao Yixuan and saw that his face was clearly tired.
"Why did you suddenly fall sick? I'll be very worried if you do this.”Qiao Yixuan frowned. His bright and sorrowful expression made him look perfect and impeccable at this moment.
Li Yinuo shook her head." It's fine. Yixuan, my body is fine, so don't worry about me.”Li Yinuo was an understanding girl. If he really was Qiao Yixuan, he would definitely find time to come back and visit her. He did not want to tell Qiao Yixuan that he had fallen sick because he had gone to the Haunted House with Huang Yu. That would be too embarrassing.
Qiao Yixuan was relieved to see that Li Yinuo was fine.
"Yixuan, are you still leaving later?”Li Yinuo looked at Qiao Yixuan pitifully. She did not want Qiao Yixuan to leave. She hoped that Qiao Yixuan could stay and accompany her. She always felt safe with Qiao Yixuan around.
"Yinuo, I'm sorry. I've been too busy recently, so I can't take good care of you. However, in another week, I'll go to your school to accompany you for a period of time.”Qiao Yixuan's words made Li Yinuo excited.
"Yixuan, do you mean you'll come to our school?”Li Yinuo could not believe her ears. Qiao Yixuan, who was like a god, actually said that he would come to school to accompany her for a period of time.
"Yes. So before I go to accompany you, you must recuperate your holy body and be healthy every day, understand?”Qiao Yixuan seemed to be ordering Li Yinuo, and Li Yinuo agreed sweetly.
When Qiao Yixuan left, Li Yinuo couldn't bear to see him leave, so she covered her head with the blanket and didn't want to see Qiao Yixuan leave. Qiao Yixuan only smiled. He felt that although Li Yinuo's actions were a little childish, he felt a lot of warmth in his heart. Li Yinuo really couldn't bear to part with herself.
Qiao Yixuan and Aunt Li left after giving a few instructions. Aunt Li saw that Qiao Yixuan had left and immediately ran to Li Yinuo's room. Aunt Li did not tell Qiao Yixuan that Li Yinuo had fallen ill because he had gone to the haunted house with Huang Yu. She was afraid that if Li Yinuo told Qiao Yixuan, it would be difficult.
"Miss Yinuo, Young Master Yixuan didn't say anything, right?”Aunt Li looked nervously at Li Yinuo's face, which was gradually turning red.
"No, Auntie Li, but I didn't dare to tell Yixuan that I was scared out of my wits. Auntie Li, you didn't tell him either, right?”Seeing that Li Yinuo's expression was equally nervous, Aunt Li burst out laughing." Miss Yinuo, we really have a telepathic connection. It seems like you're starting to understand Young Master Yixuan now."”Aunt Li raised her eyebrows as she spoke. She looked like a young girl who liked to joke. Li Yinuo had always felt that even though Aunt Li was old, she was still very cute and not inflexible at all. Furthermore, Li Yinuo especially admired Aunt Li's culinary skills and had always followed behind her to learn how to cook. However, she had never improved.
Li Yinuo chuckled as she yawned.
"Your classmate Huang Yu called just now. Did you give him Miss Yinuo's number?”Aunt Li suddenly remembered that Huang Yu seemed to have called.
"Yeah, can you give him Auntie Li's home number?”When Li Yinuo saw Aunt Li's expression, she knew that she couldn't give this number to Huang Yu.
Aunt Li said helplessly," Young Master hates strangers calling in the most. So, Miss Yinuo, you should tell your classmate Huang Yu not to call in the future. If Young Master Yixuan finds out, he will definitely be angry.”
Li Yinuo rubbed her soft hair as she tilted her head and asked curiously," Why would you be angry?”
Aunt Li didn't know how to explain it to Li Yinuo. She wasn't sure if Li Yinuo knew anything about relationships at her age. Li Yinuo's situation was completely the standard of an ancient child bride.
"Young Master Yixuan has such a temper. In short, Miss Yinuo, just remember. Young Master Yixuan is usually so gentle and easy to talk to. If he gets angry, even I will be afraid. Besides, Miss Yinuo, how can you bear to let Young Master Yixuan get angry?”Aunt Li couldn't say it directly, so she could only beat around the bush.
When Li Yinuo heard this, she felt that it made sense. Hence, she comforted Aunt Li instead." Aunt Li, I know. I definitely won't let Yixuan get angry at you.”Li Yinuo yawned again.
Aunt Li saw that Li Yinuo had yawned twice in a row and no longer spoke to Li Yinuo. She covered Li Yinuo with a blanket and left.
Although Li Yinuo said that she was much better, her entire body was sore and weak. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. After a while, she fell asleep.
That night, Aunt Li woke Li Yinuo up for dinner. In order to let Li Yinuo recover quickly, Aunt Li had eaten chicken soup for a long time. Then, the table was filled with light dishes that looked very tempting.
Just as Li Yinuo was enjoying her meal, her phone rang. Aunt Li put down her bowl and chopsticks and went to the sofa to pick up the phone. Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Li looked at Li Yinuo helplessly. Seeing Aunt Li's expression, Li Yinuo guessed that it must be Huang Yu calling. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked over to Aunt Li. Aunt Li passed the phone to Li Yinuo and gave him a look.
"Hello, is this Huang Yu?" Li Yinuo's sweet voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Yinuo, are you alright?" Huang Yu seemed to be really worried about Li Yinuo.
"I'm fine, Huang Yu. I'm eating." Li Yinuo didn't know what to say to Huang Yu.
"Mhm, that's good. That one." Huang Yu stopped halfway through his sentence.
Li Yinuo asked curiously," What's that?”
Huang Yu laughed foolishly. Li Yinuo could even imagine Huang Yu rubbing his head foolishly and giggling." Li Yinuo, I can call you often in the future.”
Li Yinuo felt that it was very difficult to answer Huang Yu. She thought for a long time about how to answer Huang Yu.
"Huang Yu, our phone is a little broken. We might need to get it fixed. Anyway, we can meet at school every day. It's not good to call each other. It's a waste of phone bills, isn't it?”
Huang Yu was not a fool. He naturally understood what Li Yinuo meant. Hence, he only coughed awkwardly." Yes, alright." I understand. You can eat now. I'm hanging up."
"Mhm, goodbye." After Li Yinuo hung up the phone, she clutched her chest. Her heart was beating extremely fast. This was the first time she had lied. That feeling was really strange.
Aunt Li gave her a thumbs up." Miss Yinuo has a bright future ahead of her." Haha."
Li Yinuo felt even more embarrassed when Aunt Li said that. She quickly sat down at the dining table and started eating.
"By the way, Miss Yinuo, what are you going to do tomorrow?”Aunt Li was afraid that Li Yinuo would be bored, so she planned to accompany Li Yinuo out shopping.
"Yeah, I don't know either. Maybe I'll just stay at home and watch a movie.”Li Yinuo shook her head. Her bright red lips looked exceptionally moving.
"Why don't Auntie Li take you out shopping tomorrow? We just happened to be buying some things at home.”Aunt Li asked for Li Yinuo's opinion as she made soup for him.
"Really?" Li Yinuo's big eyes widened as if countless stars had gathered.
Auntie Li handed the soup to Li Yinuo and said gently," When has Auntie Li ever lied to you? It's too boring to watch TV at home every day. Aunt Li understands.”
Li Yinuo happily picked up a drumstick for Aunt Li." Aunt Li, you have to eat more. Only then will you have the energy to go shopping tomorrow.”
Their laughter filled the entire living room. They looked more like a warm mother and daughter.
Li Yinuo did not fall asleep at night. In fact, when Qiao Yixuan first came to the Qiao family's house, he had specially told Aunt Li not to let him go out because he was worried about her.
It had been more than two months since then. If it wasn't for Aunt Li who loved her like her own daughter and secretly took her out occasionally without Qiao Yixuan's knowledge, she would spend most of her time at home watching movies or watching some visual games. This kind of life was very painful for a person who wasn't yet an adult.
The students in school were always discussing where to go shopping on the weekends or where their parents had taken them to play. Every time this happened, Li Yinuo would be very envious. However, Qiao Yixuan had saved her life and given her a stable home. Therefore, Li Yinuo's gentle heart would not allow herself to do anything that would make Qiao Yixuan too sad. Every Saturday and Sunday, Li Yinuo especially hoped that school would start again. The students in school did not want to go to school. When he said that he liked the feeling of being in school, everyone laughed at him. Li Yinuo often comforted herself.
In her daze, she thought about a lot of things. Li Yinuo began to dream again. She dreamed of her father who was chasing her away. She saw her mother who had died due to childbirth. This dream was filled with desolation until Qiao Yixuan's warm face appeared in her dream. All her uneasiness and struggles seemed to have calmed down. Li Yinuo only managed to sleep a little more soundly in the latter half of the night.
When she woke up in the morning, Aunt Li had already prepared breakfast as usual and was waiting for Li Yinuo to come down for breakfast. Every morning, Li Yinuo would feel that the house had become especially clean and tidy again. Aunt Li was like a little bee that tirelessly contributed to the family.
"Good morning, Auntie Li." Li Yinuo was in a particularly good mood when she saw Aunt Li.
"Yes, Miss Yinuo, you should have your breakfast first. After you're done, we'll go out together. Today, Auntie Li will bring you to a bustling area with a lot of people.”Aunt Li smiled as cute as an old lady.
Li Yinuo had always thought that if she could wear a pair of cute glasses on her ideal nose bridge, she could become an anime character.
Thinking of this, Li Yinuo couldn't help but giggle. Every day, Li Yinuo felt very happy when she ate because she could eat the same dishes for almost a month. If Qiao Yixuan hadn't saved her, she probably wouldn't have been treated so well in her entire life.
While thanking Aunt Li, Li Yinuo thanked Qiao Yixuan once again.
Li Yinuo was wearing a cute princess dress with black and white polka dots today. This was specially prepared by Aunt Li. Although Aunt Li was a little older, her taste was definitely not inferior to that of a young person.
Aunt Li dressed Li Yinuo up like a doll every day. When she was free, she liked to give Li Yinuo all kinds of hairstyles that she had learned online.
Li Yinuo was free and let Aunt Li do whatever she wanted.
Aunt Li asked the driver to bring the two of them to the large shopping mall in the city center. This was the place with the most traffic every day. Countless people were like countless ants. The colorful clothes brought a strong impact to Li Yinuo's vision.
Her father had never brought her to a place with so many people. Other than going to school and living a careful life at home, her father had never cared about her. He was always drunk. Then, she had to cook and clean the house by herself. She had to endure her father's indifference silently. At that time, Li Yinuo loved to cry, but she rarely cried in front of her father until her father actually wanted to chase her away.
At the thought of this, Li Yinuo actually started to cry as she stood in the middle of the surging crowd. This frightened Aunt Li. She hugged Li Yinuo and asked nervously," Miss Yinuo, are you not used to so many people? Why don't we go back?"”
Li Yinuo shook her head." No, Aunt Li, I'm just very touched. This is the first time I've come to a place with so many people. I just thought of my past and felt sad.”
Aunt Li wiped away Li Yinuo's tears with great care. She thought to herself that this was a pitiful child, a child who was as heartbreaking as Young Master Yixuan.
Aunt Li held Li Yinuo's hand as if she was afraid that she would lose Li Yinuo. Li Yinuo stopped crying and looked at the bustling city curiously. For the first time, Li Yinuo felt that she had fallen in love with this beautiful city.
The large shopping mall here was divided into the clothing section and the daily necessities section. And according to the level, a corresponding entrance and exit path would be established in different areas. As for the place that Aunt Li went to, no one was allowed to enter without the relevant VIP membership card.
It seemed that Aunt Li was also a frequent visitor here. Everything inside was made of high-quality materials from all over the world.
Although Li Yinuo's family was not poor, Li Yinuo was very surprised when she saw the price list on the item. She did not expect that the food she usually ate and used would be so expensive. One item was enough for an ordinary white-collar worker's salary. Li Yinuo covered her mouth in shock. Aunt Li just smiled and continued to pick things.
As Li Yinuo had accidentally broken a few plates a few days ago, Aunt Li was now strolling around the plates.
This was all because Li Yinuo had pestered Aunt Li to learn how to cook. She had not learned how to cook, but she had broken and wasted a lot of things. Aunt Li was usually a very thrifty person. Even though Qiao Yixuan had told Aunt Li that she did not need to consider the price when buying things, as a woman from an ordinary family, Aunt Li still knew that it was not easy to get money in this world. Although Qiao Yixuan was one of the top bosses in the company, he had to put in more effort than others at a young age. While others were sleeping at home, Qiao Yixuan was gritting his teeth and handling all the company's matters, big and small. He also had to repeatedly review the company's matters. In the early days, Qiao Yixuan was not recognized by everyone. It was all because of his hard work that his intelligence was truly recognized by the company. Who would have thought that this young child had paid a lot to get the reward he had now? Qiao Yixuan gave Aunt Li a very high salary. It was so high that Aunt Li didn't dare to look at the numbers. However, Qiao Yixuan said that Aunt Li deserved it. Aunt Li didn't lack anything in the Qiao family, so Aunt Li saved every salary. She wanted to save it for Qiao Yixuan's wedding gift.
