Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a chilly spring day. Xue Li held his arm tightly and said with concern, “Young Master, why don’t we go back first?”
Guan Lei looked at the gift box in his hand and handed it to Xue Li saying, “Give this to auntie and let auntie deliver it.’
Xue Li took the gift box from Guan Lei and walked toward the other side of the villa.
Shen Hui and Lu De had just entered when Shen Xi asked curiously, “Grandpa, Grandpa, who was that knocking on the door just now? You’re back from a walk so soon?”
Shen Hui and Lu De looked at each other and said, “A man who was selling goat milk. We sent him away and went for a walk. He came back when he was
a little cold.’
Just as Shen Xi nodded, the doorbell rang again.
Shen Hui thought that Guan Lei had returned, so he turned around angrily and walked out of the door.
Shen Xi could no longer suppress his curiosity. She wanted to get up but was held down by Lu Shan.
“Here, have some fruit to relieve your boredom,” said Lu Shan with a smile.”
Lu Shan would never allow Shen Xi and Guan Lei to meet. She was Shen Xi’s mother, and she knew very well how Shen Xi felt about Guan Lei. Therefore, it was best for the two of them not to meet.
Hence, when Shen Hui and Lu De signalled her to look out the window, she got up and pulled the curtains. She did not want Shen Xi to see Guan Lei standing outside the door.
Shen Xi frowned. She had a feeling that her family didn’t want her to open the door, or rather, they didn’t want her to see the person who knocked on the door.
Shen Xi did not know why she had such an illusion, but she was obviously not the type to be kept in the dark like this.
Shen Xi stood up and said to Lu Shan, “Mom, I’ll go out and take a look.”
Shen Xi slipped away from Lu Shan’s hands like a loach.
In an instant, Shen Xi’s parents, grandmother, and even the confused Chen Yu stood up in a daze.
The group of people went out and saw a middle-aged woman standing by the iron door. When she handed the gift box to Shen Hui, they were slightly stunned.
Shen Hui had seen this gift box in Guan Lei’s hands earlier. He was about to reject it when he was pulled aside by Lu De.
“Xi is looking at it, so you should take it first. Otherwise, it will look strange.” Lu De said.
Shen Hui felt that it made sense and quickly put on a smile. Then, he took the gift box with both hands and thanked her with a smile, “Thank you, you’re too kind. Let’s keep in touch in the future.”
The auntie looked at the two old men who had changed their faces in surprise and muttered in her heart. Just now, the two of them had even blown their moustaches and glared at her, asking her to go back and warn her Young Master not to send anything over again.
However, in the next second, the two of them suddenly became enthusiastic.
This made her a little at a loss. She could only nod and say, “Alright.”
After sending off the auntie opposite them, Shen Hui and Shen Xi turned around with the gift box. They looked at Shen Xi and said, “It’s the neighbour next door. She said she was giving us a gift and greeting us.”
Shen Xi raised her head and looked into the distance. She still felt that something was wrong.
Her family first refused to let her see the person who rang the doorbell, and then they spoke in a strange tone.
Shen Hui was afraid that Shen Xi would think too much, so he directly placed the gift box in his hand into Shen Xi’s hand and said, “Here, a gift box for my precious Xi.”
Shen Xi looked at the gift box in her hand and thought that maybe she was really overthinking.
Shen Xi placed the gift box in Chen Yu’s hands and said, “Here you go.” Then, she turned around and returned to the house.
The family sat down at the table again.
Chen Yu curiously looked at the gift box in his hand. After opening it, he realized that there was candy inside. Moreover, this candy seemed a little familiar.
Oh right, it was the candy from that Western restaurant. Chen Yu smiled and said, “I’ve never seen this candy before. I’ve seen it twice recently. Could it be a new brand?”
Shen Xi gently turned her head and glanced at the candy in Chen Yu’s hand. The next second, she reached out and snatched the candy from Chen Yu t s hand. She asked in confusion, “Grandpa, is this candy from the neighbour? Is it our neighbour across the street?”
“Yes, that lady just now, our new neighbour.” Shen Hui nodded.
Shen Xi raised her eyes and stared at Shen Hui for a few times. Then, her gaze turned to her family who had been acting strangely just now. She suddenly caught the key point.
“Grandfather, Grandpa, you two saw Guan Lei just now, right?” She asked with certainty.. “The person who knocked on the door just now was Guan Lei, right? The new neighbour is Guan Lei, right?”
