Li Yin knew that this was a coaxing move, so she tried her best to please him and said a lot of nice things to make Xiang Sixia admit that he knew her.

"You haven't contacted me much since you went abroad, and you haven't replied to my messages much either."

"Also, you didn't tell me that you had a baby, and I was angry."

Li Yin looked at her friend's pretending angry face and felt bitter.

"It happened so suddenly, I don't know how to tell you. I was wrong, I will tell you if there is anything next time."

Xiang Sixia looked at Li Yin's flattering face and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time."

Xiang Sixia was curious again.

"But is he a mixed-race baby? French? Show me a picture!"

Li Yin shook his head.

"Not a half-blood."

I hesitated for a moment, thinking it would be too weird if I didn't show it to him.

Li Yin opened the photo album on her phone, pulled out the photo of Li Muan, and carefully observed her friend's expression.

"Your son is so cute."

"what?"

Seeing Xiang Sixia's puzzled expression, Li Yin's heart was instantly in suspense.

You recognized it right away, didn't you?

"Why do you look so familiar? Have I seen you somewhere?"

Si Xia looked at Li Yin in confusion, then tilted his head and looked at the photo carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Li Yin said evasively, "All children look similar."

"...maybe."

Li Yin thought about it again. Although she was mentally prepared for the child and Xiang Siyuan to have some interactions, she didn't want that day to come too soon. "Xia Xia, can you keep the fact that I have a child a secret for me?"

Xiang Sixia didn't understand the twists and turns, and thought his friend had other concerns. "No problem, if you don't mention it, I will never take the initiative to say it."

Li Yin looked at the innocent Xia Xia and felt a little guilty.

In true friendship, a few laughs and jokes seemed to make up for the gap of not seeing each other for several years, and a beef hotpot meal made the two people feel like they had never been apart.

Li Yin was very satisfied with the meal. In foreign countries, not only is the price of Chinese food several times higher than that in China, but the beef in foreign countries also has a strong smell that is not found in domestic beef.

Li Yin picked up a piece of perfectly cooked dragon for her friend, and then she heard her friend mention,

"Yinyin, did you see my brother the next day after drinking that time?"

Li Yin paused and thought, more than just seeing it, your brother's and my children are both in kindergarten, but there was no way he could say this.

Xiang Sixia did not wait for Li Yin to respond and continued,

"That night Wang Kelu was heartbroken, so I couldn't leave. But I went back at noon the next day, and I was shocked to see my brother."

"But there's something strange..."

Li Yin's heart was hanging in the air.

"what?"

"My brother didn't even say anything about my drinking, nor did he blame me for taking his wine. He just asked me about my plans after graduation."

In fact, Li Yin didn’t remember much about what happened the next day. When she woke up that day, she felt sore all over and extremely flustered. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

When she left the room, she met the man from last night. He claimed to be Xiang Sixia's brother Xiang Siyuan and wanted to compensate her. Li Yin refused and asked him not to tell anyone about it, then fled in a hurry.

Li Yin put the beef into the seasoning dish and pressed it, deliberately changing the subject.

"So what did you do after graduation? I kind of forgot what you told me last time."

Speaking of this, and thinking of the project that had just been completed two days ago, Xiang Sixia began to talk nonstop.

"My brother runs an Internet technology company, so I went in and worked as an illustrator. You don't even know..."

Internet technology company?

The company being connected this time is Xingle Media, a company that specializes in internet celebrities, so the Manager Xiang should not be him.

Li Yin felt relieved and enjoyed the food at ease, and picked up a large piece of perfectly cooked beef for her friend.

However, Li Yin never expected that she was too relieved too early. The person she had just mentioned was actually seen in just half a meal time.

-

After eating hot pot, Xiang Sixia learned that Li Yin had just returned to China and had not bought a car yet, so he decided to send her back.

But what Li Yin didn't expect was that the gift was not given by her, but by Xiang Siyuan.

Li Yin was stunned when she saw the strange face in the lowered car window, which looked exactly like her son. The man seemed to recognize Li Yin, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, but he remembered it in two seconds, and a look of slight surprise flashed across his face.

Li Yin saw him nod to her gently, and in a trance, she heard him say,

"Get in the car."

Li Yin's mind was a mess. The shock of seeing each other again, the panic of being afraid that the child would be discovered, the suppression of pretending to be calm, all these mixed feelings made Li Yin like a wooden man. He let his friend manipulate him and got on the back seat before he reacted.

"I'll go back by myself. It's very convenient to take a taxi."

Li Yin was sitting diagonally behind the driver's seat. Her hand had already touched the door handle, but the person in the driver's seat had already locked it.

Xiang Sixia, who had no idea what was going on, hugged Li Yin's arm.

"It's okay, my brother will take us back. It's a rare opportunity for him to be free and he happens to be nearby."

As if remembering something, Xiang Sixia glanced back and forth between the two of them.

"Brother, Li Yin, you have met before, right? Five years ago, in Luocheng, when we were drinking at my house."

Xiang Siyuan started the car and turned the steering wheel, looking as if he was concentrating on driving. Li Yin accidentally met Xiang Siyuan's eyes in the rearview mirror, and then immediately looked away.

Xiang Siyuan broke the silence,

"Have."

Then he changed the subject again.

"Drinking again tonight?"

Although he didn't mention any names, Li Yin inexplicably felt that Xiang Siyuan was asking her a question, but they were not familiar enough to ask this question.

Li Yin couldn't help but laugh again. They already had a child, but they were not familiar with each other.

Xiang Sixia was not convinced.

"What do you mean by again? You make me sound like an alcoholic. We just had a few sips for fun, less than two bottles of beer."

Xiang Siyuan saw Li Yin smile in the rearview mirror, and he also felt relieved and wanted to laugh, but he perfunctorily replied to his sister's words.

"is it?"

Xiang Siyuan drove steadily on the road and spoke calmly,

"I see your friend's face is quite red."

Upon hearing this, Li Yin immediately raised her hands and pressed her face. It wasn't hot, but it might have been really red. Her face would easily turn red when she drank.

Xiang Sixia also came close to Li Yin and took a closer look.

"Yinyin, are you drunk? I remember you drank a lot that time. We..."

Li Yin interrupted quickly, hoping Xiang Sixia would not bring the topic back to that chaotic night.

"A little bit, I can't drink much. Xia Xia, where do you live now?"

"I live in Qingzhou International, in the same building as my brother but on a different floor. Where do you live, Yinyin? We'll take you back first."

There was no need to be shy anymore, so Li Yin told her home address.

Fuller Apartments?

Not far away, about 30 minutes’ drive from Qingzhou International.

Xiang Siyuan unconsciously calculated the distance between the two addresses, and suddenly came to his senses about what he was doing. He pretended nothing had happened, turned the steering wheel, and the black car merged into the long traffic flow.

Xiang Sixia kept talking after getting in the car, talking about his work in recent years and asking Li Yin if she had settled down in China and would not return to Milan.

Milan?

Have you been abroad? And Milan? Xiang Siyuan remembered that the twins mentioned that the kid named "An An" was from Milan.
