Jiang Zhirou twitched the corners of her mouth and quickly pulled the curtains shut.
Chi Yu, who was downstairs, saw this and a smile spread across his face.
"Xiao Chi?"
The Lu couple had the habit of morning exercises. Just as they walked outside the villa, they saw Chi Yu leaning against the car door at a glance.
Fu Huiyi looked up along his line of sight, and an understanding smile instantly appeared on her face.
Hearing the voice, Chi Yu turned his head, stood up straight, and politely greeted the old couple, "Aunt Lu, Uncle Lu."
"Here to see Qingmian, right?" Fu Huiyi said with a smile on her face. "You're already at the door. Come in and sit for a while."
Chi Yu glanced at the time on his wrist. He had to be at the company at 8:30 and needed to send Qingmian to the training ground before 8.
"Aunt Lu, I won't sit in today. I still have something to do later. I'll come and visit another day."
Chi Yu said to the two elders politely with a smiling face.
Just as the three were talking, the villa door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Zhirou walked out.
When she saw the two elders, her steps paused involuntarily. Then she greeted them obediently, "Aunt Fu, Uncle Lu, good morning."
Seeing her coming, Fu Huiyi didn't insist anymore. She smiled and teased them, "Being in love is really sweet. Waiting downstairs early in the morning. You're like a 'husband-watching rock'."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Aunt Lu, the girl is shy. Don't tease her anymore."
"Okay, okay. I won't say anymore." Fu Huiyi waved her hand with a smile. "Go and do what you need to do quickly."
"Goodbye, Aunt Fu."
Jiang Zhirou blushed as she said goodbye and quickly got into the car.
The two watched the car leave.
It wasn't until the car disappeared from sight that Fu Huiyi retracted her gaze. "Qingmian is still the same as before. She's shy and easily embarrassed."
Hearing this, Lu Zhengli beside her flashed a look in his eyes. Looking in the direction where the car disappeared, he said meaningfully, "I don't think so."
Fu Huiyi gave him a sidelong glance and snorted. "What do you men know."
Then she pulled him and turned to walk into the house.
...
...
Inside the black Maybach.
"You should call me before you come next time. Don't show up so suddenly."
Jiang Zhirou in the passenger seat suddenly spoke.
She didn't like such sudden "surprises". She preferred well - planned actions, not a sudden attack like today.
Hearing her words, Chi Yu chuckled, thinking he had interrupted her sweet dream. "Yes, ma'am."
After saying that, he glanced at the woman beside him out of the corner of his eye and continued, "But... Are you sure I didn't call you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou took out her phone from her bag. Seeing the missed call on the phone, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"I might have accidentally turned on silent mode last night when I was sleeping, so I didn't hear it."
"Next time you tell me one night in advance."
Jiang Zhirou was assertive even though she wasn't in the right.
Chi Yu deliberately let out an "oh" with a rising tone, obviously not believing her excuse.
Jiang Zhirou was about to argue something, but Chi Yu's voice rang out before her.
"Have something to eat to fill your stomach."
Somehow, Chi Yu suddenly took out a bagel and handed it to her.
Jiang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, took the bagel, and said softly, "Thank you..."
She felt a little guilty for her slightly bad attitude towards Chi Yu just now.
After thinking for a while, she divided the bagel in her hand into two parts and handed one part to Chi Yu. "Here. You came to pick me up so early. You probably haven't eaten yet."
Just then, the car happened to encounter a red light.
Chi Yu gently stepped on the brake, and the car slowly stopped.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and took the food from Jiang Zhirou's hand with the other, then stuffed it into his mouth.
"Food touched by baby is so delicious."
Chi Yu said with a smile while eating.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou twitched the corners of her mouth, forced a smile, and started to flatter him. "It's mainly because you bought it well."
"If you hadn't gotten up so early, could I have eaten such good food?"
"Thank you, Professor Chi, for the breakfast. I'll eat it all up!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhirou picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth. She finished it quickly.
Chi Yu was a little surprised to see her like this. Before he could react, the person beside him suddenly coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough!!"
He quickly picked up the water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Jiang Zhirou. With his other hand, he gently patted her on the back.
"Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
His voice was full of obvious concern.
It took Jiang Zhirou a long time to catch her breath. Her face was flushed red from the coughing.
She looked at him seriously and replied, "Isn't it that eating fast can show my sincerity?"
Hearing her words, Chi Yu was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and his hand suddenly stopped moving.
It took him a while to say, "When did you become so good at talking?"
"I've always been good at talking, okay!"
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Jiang Zhirou's expression suddenly froze.
She had unconsciously been herself again.
She stole a glance at Chi Yu beside her out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that there wasn't much change in his expression, she then continued, "How much longer until we get there?"
Chi Yu's attention was diverted by her. "Soon. After this traffic light, it'll take about ten minutes."
Jiang Zhirou nodded and didn't say anything else. The more she said, the more mistakes she might make. It was better not to say anything.
Before long, the car quickly arrived at the destination.
As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Zhirou pushed the door open and got out.
She looked up at the building in front of her. It was a single - family villa.
This didn't look like a training ground. It was more like... someone's home?
Jiang Zhirou looked at the house in front of her and silently murmured in her heart.
"What is this...?"
"Let's go."
Chi Yu didn't answer her question and led her inside.
The two walked through the long porch and then took the elevator down two floors.
As soon as they got out of the elevator and turned a corner, a spacious training ground came into view.
When she saw what was placed in the venue clearly, Jiang Zhirou's steps paused, and she subconsciously looked at Chi Yu beside her.
"Why are there guns here?"
"These aren't real guns. They're just for shooting training."
As soon as Chi Yu finished speaking, a look of disappointment clearly flashed across Jiang Zhirou's face.
It would be great if they were real guns.
With a gun, her self - defense ability would be improved by a large margin. Anyway, it was much better than hand - to - hand combat.
Chi Yu beside her clearly saw the little emotion that flashed across her face.
He hesitated for a while and then continued, "Do you want a gun?"
"Is it okay?"
As soon as Chi Yu asked the question, Jiang Zhirou answered without thinking.
