Surely He Couldn’t Be That Retarded?

Xi Zhimo checked out of his room, and the hotel owner personally drove him to the hotel Ye Si was staying at.

The man looked at his watch. "Why don't we just leave the luggage behind? We're running out of time."

"How can I do that? My identity card is still upstairs."

Xi Zhimo frowned slightly. "Then I'll go up with you so that you won't waste time."

Ye Si ignored him and got out of the car by herself.

The two of them went upstairs. After Ye Si finished packing her luggage, she said, "I'll go to the other side and inform Number Nine."

"What are you talking about! Why is there a need to tell him?" Xi Zhimo grabbed Ye Si's hand and walked out. "We are pressed for time. I just knew you had this bad habit of procrastinating!"

Ye Si was utterly speechless.

What the heck did he know?

There was something seriously wrong with his brain!

"I can walk on my own!" She flung his hand away without any courtesy.

The man strode into the elevator and growled, "Since you can walk on your own, hurry up and come in!"

Just as Ye Si was about to fly into a rage, she was yanked into the elevator by that man. The elevator door closed immediately after that.

Ye Si was dragging the suitcase in her hand. When the elevator started moving, she lost her balance and fell into Xi Zhimo's arms. The man's unique chilly fragrance wafted over.

In that instant, she felt the man's heart thumping furiously.

She quickly pushed herself away from him, dragged her suitcase over, and stood in the corner.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

After getting into the car, Ye Si took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Chengsheng. She told him she would go and get the Mystic Pearl Herb for him and asked him to go back by himself.

Lu Chengsheng replied very quickly, asking if she had rekindled her feelings for Xi Zhimo.

Ye Si stared at the phone screen in disbelief, and then at the man sitting next to her with his eyes closed. She shook her head and messaged back, "Rekindle my ass!"

She turned off her phone and ignored it, choosing to close her eyes as well.

However, she did not know that not long after she closed her eyes, Xi Zhimo opened his eyes gently and observed her closely with his dark, obsidian eyes.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at the airport. The hotel owner bowed respectfully and watched the two leave.

After she went inside the airport and obtained her ticket, Ye Si realized that there were still more than two hours before boarding time.

She raised her head and questioned Xi Zhimo, "Didn't you say you were in a hurry?"

The man raised his delicate eyebrows. "I don't like to be late. Go and get me a cup of coffee. Americano without sugar."

Ye Si glared at him furiously. "Who are you ordering around? Don't you have hands?"

After she finished speaking, she stalked off on her own and found a place to sit down.

Xi Zhimo's face turned stony as he dragged his luggage to her side. "Then help me keep an eye on my luggage. What would you like to drink?"

"I'm not drinking." Ye Si kept her eyes closed and didn't even look at him.

The man's expression turned even more unpleasant. He glared at her and turned to leave.

After about half an hour, he still did not return.

Ye Si opened her eyes and scanned the surroundings. He was an undisputed authority in the business world. Surely he couldn't be that retarded, could he?

He was already in his twenties. He should be capable of buying a cup of coffee by himself, shouldn't he?

After another ten minutes or so, Xi Zhimo still had not returned.

Ye Si thought to herself, "Could he have lost his way?"

She hesitated for a moment and then dragged the two suitcases and walked off.

Not long after she left, Xi Zhimo returned with a cup of coffee in his hand, but a group of shop assistants followed closely behind him. The shop assistants were holding a variety of milk tea beverages in their hands.

However, when he looked from a distance, Ye Si seemed to have disappeared!

His initially leisurely pace quickened, and when he reached the place where Ye Si sat previously, he panicked instantly.

He quickly took out his phone to call her, only to find that he was on her blacklist of blocked numbers.

Xi Zhimo swore under his breath, shoved the coffee in his hand to another shop assistant, and rushed off in a hurry.
