The tricycle smoothly entered the villa area without any obstruction.
It was already 9 pm when they got home, and the sleepy Little Charcoal was already asleep in Xia Tian's arms.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Qian and Xiao You came out to greet them at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Boss, you're back."
Xia Tian saw that Xiao Qian and the others were still awake, and he felt a little strange.
"Why aren't you two sleeping yet?"
"We were just cleaning up the tricycle food cart and getting ready to go to bed."
Xia Tian looked at Xiao Qian, whose eyes were almost closed, and smiled helplessly. He felt sorry for the two young employees. They clearly weren't used to staying up late, but they insisted on waiting for him to come back.
"Alright, get it done quickly and go to sleep. Xiao Qian, please help me greet the guests. I'll take care of this little guy and get him ready for bed."
"Okay."
Xiao You carried a bucket and went to clean the tricycle, while Xiao Qian followed Xia Tian and Xue Ni, going inside to prepare tea for the guest.
Xue Ni curiously looked around the villa.
She wasn't surprised to see Xiao Qian and Xiao You. It was strange if a villa this big didn't have staff.
She was more curious about Xia Tian. Who would have thought that a street vendor would live in the Tian Shou Ge villa, which even money couldn't buy.
However, thinking about what happened tonight, she filled in the blanks and seemed to understand why Xia Tian could live here.
"Have some hot tea."
Xiao Qian poured green tea with a little clumsiness.
"Thank you."
Xue Ni nodded.
The atmosphere between the two was a little silent, and Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief when Xia Tian came out.
"Boss, I'll go help Xiao You with the work...."
"Wait, lend Xue Ni a set of clothes. She's staying here tonight and doesn't have any changes of clothes." Xia Tian turned to Xue Ni, "Xue Ni, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Xue Ni shook her head. She had already mentioned earlier that her clothes were inevitably stained with blood from the bloody scene, and it felt uncomfortable to wear them.
"There's a washroom on the first floor, on the left side of the stairs."
Not long after,
Xiao Qian and Xiao You finished cleaning up, left a set of clean clothes, and sleepily went upstairs to bed. Only Xia Tian was left in the living room.
Xia Tian watched TV, but his thoughts were inevitably disturbed by the sound of water from the bathroom.
"Xia Tian Ge, I'm done. Where do I put the dirty clothes?"
"The laundry room is on the right side of the stairs."
Xia Tian raised his head and replied. At this moment, the girl who had just come out of the bath was only wrapped in a bath towel. What caught his eye was her small, white feet.
Her skin was rosy, like a sculpted work of art. Her slender ankles were made of tender jade-like skin, and her round, cute little toes were like miniature litchis, making him want to put them in his mouth.
Gulp. Xia Tian strategically took a sip of tea, struggling to move his gaze.
'Xia Tian Ge, where is he looking...' Stared at intently by Xia Tian, Xue Ni blushed like a prawn and dared not look up.
She knew that her legs were her pride, and they often attracted attention at school.
But Xia Tian Ge, he was too bold.
"Okay~"
Xue Ni felt uneasy and embarrassed, not daring to meet Xia Tian's eyes. She lowered her head, holding the clothes basket, and turned to leave.
A dramatic scene happened.
Her feet suddenly slipped, clothes flew in all directions, and Xue Ni's heart sank as she saw the marble stairs getting closer, "Oh no."
"Be careful."
Xia Tian's figure flashed, and he instinctively reached out and pulled her forward, pulling Xue Ni into his arms. Unfortunately, the bath towel somehow got stepped on and fell to the ground...
Xue Ni closed her eyes, lying quietly in Xia Tian's arms, without screaming or getting up.
Even the most dense person would have reacted by now.
"Xue Ni, you've made up your mind."
She stretched out her slender hand and hugged Xia Tian tightly, her voice almost inaudible, "Xia Tian Ge... I'm scared."
#@#
Scared people lack a sense of security, and Xia Tian could only patiently comfort her.
For several hours, he stayed up late to console her, working overtime and tirelessly.
It wasn't until the next morning, when Xue Ni said she wasn't afraid anymore, that he quietly went to the kitchen to make chicken soup.
The clear chirping of birds entered his ears, and the sunlight shone through the window into the living room, falling on Xue Ni's white body, which now had a hint of red.
It seemed that the effect of his comfort was too significant. Her complexion was radiant.
Xue Ni slowly opened her eyes, and a blue, big head came into view.
The little guy opened his big eyes and looked at her curiously.
Why can't Xue Ni Jie wake up and still sleep without clothes on?
"Hmm?"
Xue Ni also noticed the state of her body, and her face turned red instantly, all the way to her neck.
She hurriedly got up, not even bothering to greet Little Charcoal, grabbed the bath towel and rushed to the living room to get Xiao Qian's clothes.
Little Charcoal looked at this scene with a bewildered expression, a small head and a big confusion.
Xia Tian at the kitchen entrance twitched his mouth.
No good, the little guy woke up, and he ran to his room to find him.
"......"
"Little Charcoal is awake, good morning."
"Good morning, Ge Ge."
"Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face? Ge Ge has made breakfast. We'll have chicken soup today."
Xia Tian pretended to be nonchalant as he carried the chicken soup.
"Okay."
Hearing that it was delicious, Little Charcoal forgot everything else and obediently went to brush his teeth.
Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the little guy would ask awkward questions.
