"I'm sorry, you've been waiting for a long time."
Li Xiu smiled at Zhuo Man and bowed his head to introduce her to Shi Ji.
"Xiao Ji, this is Zhuoman, who is... my colleague."
Zhuoman's original bright smile stiffened.
But she restrained the change in time, looked at Shi Ji kindly, and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, Xiao Ji."
Shi Ji didn't look at Zhuo Man, but looked up at Li Xiu, "I want to go home."
Zhuoman's outstretched hand froze in mid-air awkwardly.
Li Xiu didn't see it, and all his attention was on the teenager in front of him. Seeing him open his mouth, his expression softened in an instant.
"Okay, let's go home now."
After reaching out and rubbing Shi Ji's head, Li Xiu naturally bent down.
One arm was bent under Shi Ji's legs, and the other hand put his arms around Shi Ji's armpits. With little effort, he steadily picked him up from the wheelchair.
He was very proficient in the movements, and it was seen at a glance that he has done it countless times.
Zhuoman deliberately wanted to make a good impression on Shi Ji and quickly stepped forward to give him a hand.
Unexpectedly, before she touched Shi Ji, a cold look swept over her.
Obviously, he was only a 17-year-old child, but Zhuoman couldn't help shivering, and her stretched hand retreated like it touched an electric shock.
Li Xiu took Shi Ji to the co-pilot seat and fastened his seat belt for him.
Zhuoman next to him looked at the gentle look on his face carefully. She bit the corners of her lips and her chest was bitter.
When she first came, she wanted to take the co-pilot seat, but she was stopped by Li Xiu.
At that time, she thought it was Li Xiu who didn't like others to sit next to him when driving. It was not until now that she realized this seat was exclusive to Shi Ji.
Li Xiu... He must love Shi Muyun very much, right?
That's all. Why do you have to care about the dead? She finally caught up with Li Xiu, and naturally wanted to tolerate everything about him.
Zhuoman took a deep breath and opened the rear door.
As soon as she sat in, her face hurt.
Looking at the tissue box thrown at her face, Zhuoman looked up to Shi Ji, the culprit. She finally reluctantly suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Xiao Ji, what are you doing?"
Shi Ji threw another tissue box blankly, and his voice was so cold that there was barely any temperature.
"You are not allowed to call me Xiao Ji, and you are not allowed to take my car."
Zhuoman screamed and dodged the tissue box and had to get out of the car.
Seeing Li Xiu outside the car, she walked up with red eyes and said aggrievedly, "Brother Xiu, why doesn't Xiao Ji like me?"
Anyway, she is also Li Xiu's girlfriend.
Moreover, Li Xiu also saw what happened just now. It was Shi Ji who was rude and brazenly bullied her.
It's reasonable that Li Xiu should help her.
However, Li Xiu just looked at Zhuoman apologetically.
"Manman, I'm sorry. Xiao Ji is more sensitive and doesn't like to get along with outsiders. Why don't you go home by yourself? Xiao Ji never lets anyone else drive with him."
Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji...
He is just Shi Muyun's younger brother, not your brother. Why are you so kind to him? You have no obligation to take care of him!
Zhuoman shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it and barely made a smile.
"It doesn't matter. I understand."
As she saw Li Xiu get into the car and leave, Zhuoman's smile gradually collapsed.
