In the bedroom, Lu Xi sat next to the guzheng, looking at the yellowed music score by candlelight, which was her mother's favorite play during her lifetime.

At this time, Li Sihan's video call came over, and Lu Xi picked up, "Why are you calling me so late?"

"I checked the weather forecast and there's heavy rain over there."

Lu Xi put the phone aside and concentrated on studying the yellowed sheet of music, "Well, it's raining heavily. What's wrong?"

"Are you scared now?" Li Sihan said firmly.

Lu Xi thought of Bai Shaoyu's ghost story, coupled with Ji Yanchen's unmistakable knock on the door, it still had a frightening aftertaste.

"Little one, how about I go over and accompany you?"

"Aren't you very busy? You're so busy that you don't have any spare time."

"I'm not busy now and want to see you."

Lu Xi's tone was sweet and sweet, as if he was coquettishly speaking, "No, you promised me, you can't keep your word."

After saying that, he added, "I like boyfriends who are obedient. If you weren't obedient, I would really be with Gu Nancheng."

Li Sihan was obviously unhappy, "Threaten me?"

Lu Xi smiled and said, "It can't be said to be a threat, because I have never loved you. Now I try to love you, but you don't even behave, so I won't choose to try."

"I'm good, I'm not good enough!" He said the most cowardly words in a tough tone.

After a few seconds of silence.

Li Sihan said, "Xixi, do you miss me?"

Lu Xi smiled and said, "I don't really want to, we will meet again in a while."

"Not at all?"

"A little bit..."

Li Sihan smiled, "I feel it, you don't need to emphasize it."

"By the way, how is Li Ruoya doing now? Is the injury getting better?"

"I didn't notice. Do you care about her?"

"No, I just asked casually. She sent someone to follow me before, but now she is unconscious in the hospital bed and she must be powerless."

Li Sihan's tone darkened, "Why is she targeting you?"

"Because she likes Gu Nancheng and is afraid that I will pose a threat to her, so she really wants to discredit me and make the Gu family dislike me."

The corners of Li Sihan's mouth curled up in a cold and terrifying arc, "Can I get rid of her for you?"

"Don't get involved in this matter. I've said it many times. It would be bad if Li Yinghuai doesn't find out. His methods are very cruel." Lu Xi has always been afraid of this.

Li Sihan felt a warmth in his chest, "Are you so worried about me?"

"Since I'm so worried about you, could you please stay out of it?"

He said word by word, "Okay, I'll listen to you and won't get involved."

Lu Xi's eyes turned slyly, "I'll tell you a story."

Li Sihan said with great interest, "What story?"

Lu Xi repeated what Bai Shaoyu said:

"There used to be a girl in this alley named Hongyou. In her arms she always held a black cat with its eyes gouged out. It was bloody."

"Every night, she would come out to dance wearing embroidered shoes. Her eyes were empty and she said dully, I don't want to dance anymore, I'm so tired."

"Later, one night when it was pouring rain, the girl danced to a house and stopped strangely. She knocked on the door in a dull manner..."

At this point, Lu Xi said in an angry voice, "Then the family opened the door and took a look. Guess what you saw?"

"What did you see?"

"I saw Ji Yanchen's face covered in blood!!!"

Li Sihan listened very seriously, thinking about countless dirty things, and even thought about the little girl telling him ghost stories to scare him, but...

He couldn't help but laugh, "Why is your face covered in blood?"

"You told Ji Yanchen the address, otherwise he wouldn't have found it, so you should go and ask him in person why his face is covered in blood, right?"

"Unless you say that you caused the blood on his face, I will ask."

"why?"

"Ask him what he did to make my Jia Xixi unhappy, and I'll help you get some more blood."

Lu Xi was speechless for a moment, only thinking that Ji Yanchen was so miserable!

Li Sihan noticed her dim room, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"power cut."

"Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, not afraid at all." If he said he was afraid, he probably wanted to come again, so he had to be more cautious in special times.

Li Sihan raised his thin lips, this little thing was so afraid that he would go.

.......

next day

After a night of heavy rain, the air was filled with a cold earthy fragrance.

There was a faint aroma of rice floating in the room.

"Let me go, what is it? It smells so good." Bai Shaoyu came down from upstairs.

When he saw Ji Yanchen cooking in an apron, he couldn't help but joked, "Turns out he is a good family man. My sister Rao is lucky."

Ji Yanchen put the food he cooked on the table and smiled, "I forgot to bring out your portion."

"No." Bai Shaoyu hurriedly sat at the dining table, "How can such a rich meal be without me?"

At this time, Lu Xi and Chu Rao came down, and Lu Xi said, "You can also cook!"

Li Sihan can also cook, but he can only fry eggs.

Chu Rao looked at such a sumptuous breakfast and raised the corners of her lips, "Did you come all this way to be a free nanny for us?"

"Now that we're here, we must do something." Ji Yanchen said, "What you ate yesterday was really unhealthy."

Everyone sat down to have breakfast.

Ji Yanchen thoughtfully served Chu Rao some food, and Bai Shaoyu smiled and said, "I started feeding dog food early in the morning. It seems that you two reconciled last night."

"Did you peek?" Chu Rao thought for a while. She was pestered and hugged by Ji Yanchen for a long time last night.

"I don't have a habit of peeping." Bai Shaoyu explained, "You went to deliver the quilt last night. I lay in the study for two whole hours and didn't hear you coming up."

"You're free enough."

Ji Yanchen seemed to have remembered something and looked at Lu Xi and said, "When I came here last night, I saw someone shining a flashlight on the yard. The detective was alert and saw me coming, so he left."

Lu Xi's heart skipped a beat, "What does that person look like?"

"Wearing a black rainproof suit and wrapped tightly, I couldn't see clearly what he looked like." Ji Yanchen said, "The distance was too far and it was raining, so I couldn't see clearly."

The fragrant dishes tasted like chewing wax in Lu Xi's mouth, which was scarier than the ghost story he heard last night.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Bai Shaoyu suddenly became serious.

"It's okay, let's eat." Lu Xi said with a smile, "You send people to ambush in this alley, and arrest anyone who is suspicious."

"Well, I understand." Bai Shaoyu said.
