After settling the car, Bai Xi went out to look for food.

When she came back from dinner and just entered the yard, she heard someone calling her.

"Bai Xi! Bai Xi?"

Bai Xi looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Lan clinging to the wall and calling her.

She hurried over and looked up at her, "How did you get up here? It's so dangerous, get down quickly."

Fang Lan laughed, "Look how scared you are. It's okay, I'm standing on a ladder. I just want to tell you, come and visit me when you have time, I'll take you around Beijing..."

"Okay, okay. Go down quickly."

Fang Lan was not afraid at all. She climbed a few more steps and sat on the wall. "Why should I be afraid? I used to climb trees when I was a kid, but now my dad won't let me. Bai Xi, you have never climbed a tree, have you?"

Indeed, he has never climbed anything. Bai Xi has been a quiet person since he was young, and he has never climbed a tree or a wall.

Seeing this, Fang Lan clicked her tongue twice and laughed at her, "Your childhood was not very complete!" No climbing trees, no climbing over walls, no catching cicadas, no going to the river... Such a childhood...

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed and turned back, "Sorry, I was just joking. I just came up to say hello to you, bye-bye."

"Bye." Fang Lan jumped down as soon as Bai Xi finished speaking.

Bai Xi patted his chest and said, "Just jump down like that? This wall is more than two meters high."

She quickly asked, "Are you okay?"

Fang Lan's voice came from the other side, "It's okay, don't worry." Hearing this, Bai Xi also smiled. He was indeed a very enthusiastic neighbor.

On the second morning after living in the courtyard, Bai Xi just woke up and heard the constant sound of WeChat notifications. She looked and saw it was Chen Manning.

She turned on the sound system and heard Chen Manning's voice: "Bai Xi, where are you? I came back from playing outside for a week, how come you are gone?"

After a while, seeing that there was no reply, he started sending messages one after another: "Where is he?"

Later she said: "We came back from our trip, I brought you a gift, and went directly to your house to find you, wanting to give you a surprise, but you ran away."

"You don't know, when I knocked on the door, only your uncle was at home, and I was embarrassed to leave right away. But what could I say to my uncle? We were just sitting face to face, and we had no topic to talk about. It was so awkward."

"It's all your fault!!!" she concluded angrily.

When Bai Xi heard her say that, he disagreed, "How can you blame me? Who told you not to call me before you left!" Surprises can easily turn into frights, okay?

"Bai Xi, you are still quibbling! You didn't even call me when you went to Yanjing, you are too much! Are you still not my best friend?"

"Chen Manning, do you feel guilty? You and Jiang Tao are traveling all over the world, how dare I disturb you? If I didn't call you, you wouldn't even remember who I am, right? Now you're biting back?"

She was having so much fun that she didn't want to leave. She was that Shu.

Humph.

After being scolded by Bai Xi, Chen Manning couldn't hold back any longer. "No, sister, can't you give me some face?"

"Besides, I really just wanted to give you a surprise..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Let's put this topic aside and stop blaming each other. Hey, by the way, why did you come back so soon this time? Could it be... that I'm going to be an aunt?"

Bai Xi lowered her voice...

As soon as she sent the voice message, the phone rang.

Bai Xi picked up the phone, and Chen Manning's voice came over, "Bai Xi, I find that you are becoming more and more outspoken."

"Uh-huh." So what!

"Okay, I know you're curious. But I'm sorry to disappoint you, Jiang Tao and I are just innocent, sleeping together in each other's arms."

"After all, you don't have a boyfriend, so you don't know that hugging a man is different from hugging a woman."

"Especially someone like me with a cold body needs a man's passionate embrace." She also lowered her voice and chuckled a few times after she finished speaking.

……

Bai Xi couldn't help but hold the phone farther away. An idea kept turning around in her mind, but in the end she didn't say it.

In order to maintain her image as a pure little girl, she didn't want to discuss with her bestie whether her boyfriend had a hidden disease...

She quickly changed the subject, "Chen Manning, considering your dark history, the gift will have to be doubled."

"Double it, then double it." Chen Manning agreed nonchalantly, "Let me tell you, our outings were all planned by Jiang Tao, and he arranged them very well. If you don't go with us, you'll lose a lot..." Quietly, look, they're showing off their affection again...

"Unfortunately, I had my period...and my stomach ached, so I just came back. We planned to wait a few days before leaving."

Oh……

Why does it feel like their journey is so discontinuous, walk...back...walk...back...walk...

Nanshi is like a transit station!

After Chen Manning finished her endless chatter, Bai Xi could reply, "I'm in Yanjing. I'll give you an address. Please send the gift by express delivery."

After saying that, she sent the address to Chen Manning and ended the call.

She stretched, got up from the bed, and went out to eat some breakfast. After returning home, she bought more books online, opened the stock trading software, and began to learn while operating.

Bai Xi read for a whole day and finished two finance textbooks.

I have a deeper understanding of what I learned from the book.

Even from stock trading, I made a little money, although not much.

Time passed little by little. In the evening, Bai Xi was thinking about where to go for dinner when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. She was a little confused. Who would come to see her in Yanjing, a place she was not familiar with?

With doubts, Bai Xi went to the door to take a look.

Fang Lan?

She opened the door, "It's you. I was wondering who would come to see me?"

Fang Lan didn't come in either, and asked at the door, "Hey, have you eaten?"

Bai Xi shook her head. "Not yet. What about you?"

Fang Lan smiled, "I guess you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you come eat with me? My grandpa and my parents are out, and I don't want to go to a restaurant alone."

Okay...

It just so happens that our two families are neighbors, so it would be good to get to know each other. Besides, I don’t want to go out to eat alone.

She asked, “Where are we going to eat?”

"How about having hotpot? There's one nearby." Fang Lan suggested.

OK, Bai Xi nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the bag."

Back in the house, Bai Xi stuffed her phone and wallet into her Dior Princess Diana bag, then locked the door and asked Fang Lan, "Is it far?"

"It's not far, just a few minutes' walk. What do you avoid eating?"

"Well... I don't want to eat large intestines and brains, but everything else is fine."

"That's easy, just don't order it." Fang Lan smiled, "I don't eat coriander and celery."

? ? Coriander and celery are so delicious!

Fang Lan then asked curiously, "I see you don't look very old, are you an adult?"

"I'm an adult now. I just graduated from high school and came to college."

"You live alone?"

Bai Xi nodded.

"That's so cool!" Fang Lan said with envy, "My grandfather and my parents take turns to wake me up at 7 o'clock every day."

"I want to sleep in!!!" She punched the air a few times angrily.

"Is it 7 o'clock during summer vacation?"

"Yes, it's extremely painful." She put on a mask of pain.

Bai Xi was silent, feeling a little sorry for her. Although after three years of high school, her biological clock was very accurate and she woke up around seven o'clock, it was still okay for her to stay in bed after waking up.

If I can’t stay in bed… then life will be a lot less happy, right?

At this time, Fang Lan leaned over mysteriously and said, "Hey, do you know what the best thing about our alley is?"

Clean? Tidy? Bai Xi shook his head in confusion.

"I'm telling you a secret. There are several wealthy people living in our alley, and there's also a mysterious boss." She pointed her finger upwards.

"They should be from the military. Every time they go out, they are picked up by military vehicles."

"So, our alley is super safe, you don't have to worry about living there by yourself."

"really?"

"Yeah." Fang Lan nodded vigorously.

No wonder, Bai Xi saw police cars on duty at the entrances of the alleys on both sides several times.

That is to say, the safety of this alley is guaranteed and one can live there with peace of mind.

She had previously worried about the safety of living alone and had considered hiring a bodyguard, but now it seemed there was no need to rush.
