C57

Shen Ming Xi's heart, instantly tensed up again, "You're back?"

Si Tu Ye knew that she was still not home?

Si Tu Ye didn't answer and asked again, "How much longer more do we have to wait?"

How could she have forgotten? Shen Ming Xi pursed her lips and laughed bitterly: "We're almost there, we're already at the door."

The next second, a long string of cold busy tones came out of the phone.

Shen Ming Xi took a deep breath, then pinched a corner of her skirt, and wiped her cheeks that had been crying.

When he thought that Si Tu Ye might be at home, Shen Ming Xi felt an unspeakable panic in the bottom of his heart.

Would he be able to tell that something was wrong with her, given the man's sharp eyes?

Shen Ming Xi did not have time to think about it as she had just reached the entrance of the villa and installed the automatic system outside. She opened it from the inside.

The gate was empty, but at the end of the concrete road, the villa was brightly lit.

Even if he did not want to face it, he would have to face it eventually. Shen Ming Xi did not hesitate, looking at the brightly lit villa, she walked in quickly.

"Miss Shen is back!" In the living room, when the servant saw Shen Ming Xi, it was rare for him to take the initiative to greet her.

Shen Ming Xi nodded, seeing that there was no one on the sofa in the living room, she knew that Si Tu Ye was probably upstairs, so she turned and went up without hesitation.

The thin body wearing flat shoes did not make too much noise, she walked through the long and beautiful corridor, and stopped in front of the door to Si Tu Ye's study.

"I'm back."

The study room was very quiet, and it was a rare sight. Si Tu Ye who was dressed in a black T-shirt was sitting behind his desk, writing something on a piece of paper.

Hearing Shen Ming Xi's voice, Si Tu Ye raised his head from the document.

After a few seconds, he lowered his head again. His hands did not stop moving. A light voice came out from between his lips, "Go and change your clothes!"

Si Tu Ye's voice remained ice-cold at all times, so Shen Ming Xi did not care. It was only when she was standing in front of the mirror in the cloakroom and saw her wrinkled skirt that she finally understood the look in Si Tu Ye's eyes.

Shen Ming Xi quickly gave herself a bath, but she had not completely calmed down either. She did not return to Si Tu Ye's study room, and instead, rolled up the blanket and sat down on the bed.

After a while, a servant knocked on the door: "Miss Shen, supper is ready. Young Master wants you to go down for supper!"

Midnight snack?

Shen Ming Xi who was already lying on the comfortable bed and did not want to move anymore, really did not want to get down. She had just eaten a steak in the cafeteria.

But when Si Tu Ye called for the servant, even if she didn't want to go, a minute later, wearing his fully wrapped up pajamas, Shen Ming Xi still went downstairs.

Si Tu Ye was already seated on the dining chair, he raised his head and saw her, pointing towards the opposite side, "There!"

Shen Ming Xi knew that Si Tu Ye wanted her to sit there. She couldn't eat it, but a man's order couldn't be disobeyed. Without hesitation, Shen Ming Xi and Si Tu Ye sat down on a chair a few steps away from each other.

The chefs in the manor were all Star rank chefs. Any random dish could be cooked very delicious.

Even if it was just a simple midnight snack, the huge dining table was still filled with all sorts of dishes.

Shen Ming Xi held onto the chopsticks and did not do anything, but when Si Tu Ye saw this, his handsome face darkened: "Are you full tonight?"

Shen Ming Xi silently nodded, "Mn!"

If he was not full before, and could barely eat a little bit, then after what happened with Shen Dong Zhe, Shen Ming Xi would really be unable to eat anymore.

Even though she had been back for so long, the moment she saw Si Tu Ye, she couldn't help but immerse herself in fear.

If Si Tu Ye knew, what would she do?

Shen Ming Xi didn't know that it was precisely her that caused such boundless fear to appear in Si Tu Ye's eyes. Only then did he suddenly sense that something was wrong with her mood.

"What happened?" He lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of soup. The man did not have the habit of eating supper, but when he saw that Shen Ming Xi did not move his chopsticks, he had already finished his noodles and wiped his mouth gracefully.

Shen Ming Xi's entire body shivered, the matter that she had wanted to hide just now, suddenly seemed to have been exposed.

She quickly shook her head, her thin face somewhat unnatural. "Nothing!"

"Are you still having fun with your classmate's birthday party?" When he asked this question, Si Tu Ye's tone had already begun to turn serious.

For some reason, when he saw Shen Ming Xi's downcast expression, his thoughts seemed to become downcast as well.

He really did not like this kind of feeling, or it could be said that worrying about gain and loss, this sort of feeling simply shouldn't belong to him, Si Tu Ye!

"Not bad!"

As Si Tu Ye continued to be questioned, Shen Ming Xi didn't dare guarantee that he wouldn't be exposed. Before Si Tu Ye could ask again, his pale face had already revealed a smile, "It's just that they played too hard tonight, I'm a little tired."

Si Tu Ye frowned slightly. His pitch-black eyes made it difficult for others to know what he was thinking. A moment later, the tall figure got up and left, leaving Shen Ming Xi alone in the dining hall, stunned.

As he was not hungry, he took a look at the cold dishes and followed her upstairs.

In the study on the second floor.

The moment the computer on the desk was switched on, the silence in the room filled with a faint sense of vitality.

The door to the study was tightly shut. Si Tu Ye's slender arms were propped up on the desk.

Just now, when he saw the smile that Shen Ming Xi's pale face was trying to pull out, he actually had an impulse to let her be happy quickly!

The current Shen Ming Xi no longer seemed to be the Shen Ming Xi in his memories.

Her bright smile lessened, although he hated Shen Ming Xi's smile to the core at one point in time.

And the choice she made each time, or her words and actions, had long since shattered the terrible impression Si Tu Ye had of her. Instead, it caused him to be unable to resist the urge to pay attention to her!

He didn't want to further investigate why Shen Yue Ran had such an evaluation of Shen Ming Xi. Everything that happened in the past, along with Shen Yue Ran's death, had already become a thing of the past. And the people in real life, for the first time, made Si Tu Ye want to keep them!

The computer had been switched on for a long time. The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer, but they didn't reach the door of the study like they did just now. They should have stopped in the bedroom next door.

Soon after, the door was opened, and the silence returned.

The man's bony fingers were finally placed on the black keyboard.

With a crackling sound, a line of black characters appeared in the rectangular frame on the computer table.
