Give her pleasure

Chapter 25: Ah Li, I'm scared to death

"Sister!" Lu Ziyang stepped forward with a bright smile on his face.

The boy wore a black hooded sweatshirt, blue wide-leg pants, and white trendy sneakers today. He looked sunny and handsome, attracting a lot of attention.

When his eyes fell on the dog next to Jiang Li, they lit up instantly, "Mango, it's so cute."

As the boy spoke, he squatted down and stroked Mango's head with a very friendly attitude.

"Mango, hello, I'm Lu Ziyang, I want to be friends with you, is that okay?"

"Hmm." Mango responded, rubbing his big head lightly against his hand, being so well-behaved.

Lu Ziyang was extremely excited and looked up at Jiang Li, "Sister, did it agree?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, Mango doesn't usually get close to strangers, which shows that it likes you very much."

Hearing this, Lu Ziyang became even happier and turned to look for Xie Huaichu. "Brother! Hey? Where's my brother?"

Jiang Li held back her laughter and pointed at the Maybach, "Get in the car."

When Xie Huaichu saw Jiang Li coming back, he originally wanted to go up and hold her hand, but after seeing Mango beside her, he decisively chose to run away.

"Brother, what are you doing? Come down quickly." Lu Ziyang obviously forgot that his brother was afraid of dogs, and started yelling.

Xie Huaichu glanced at him and said in a very cold voice, "Get the dog away."

After hearing this, Lu Ziyang suddenly realized and turned to Jiang Li and made a face, "Look at my memory, he is afraid of dogs."

Jiang Li smiled, raised her eyes and glanced at him, feeling inexplicably good, "Come on, let's go in and let him stay there."

After saying that, he took Lu Ziyang's wrist and walked into the courtyard.

The abandoned Xie Huaichu: "..."

The two of them came to the living room in the backyard. Jiang Li poured him some juice and took some fruit snacks: "Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?"

Lu Ziyang picked up an apple and ate it with relish. "I have a game tomorrow and I'm going to Yuncheng. I wanted to come over and ask if my sister is willing to go with me."

"Competition?" Hearing this, Jiang Li was quite curious.

"The robot selection competition mainly evaluates its performance, materials, and safety hazards."

“The winner will not only receive a generous bonus, but will also be able to apply for a patent for the robot.”

Lu Ziyang was talking to Jiang Li excitedly, and his energetic look was truly enviable.

"That sounds impressive." Jiang Li gave him a thumbs up and praised him. "So is the robot you're participating in the competition the Doubao No. 2 that you mentioned last time?"

Lu Ziyang nodded, "Yes, the professionals my brother assigned to me are very active and they made Doubao No. 2 within a month."

"I tested all its functions and felt it was very good, so I represented my school in the competition this time, and my teacher also supported me."

Jiang Li looked at the boy's confident and bright appearance and was sincerely happy for him, "Our Yangzi is awesome. But why did you think of asking me to go with you?"

Hearing this, Lu Ziyang's smile faded a little. "My parents are very busy and don't even have time to come back to see me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed at my grandpa's house all this time."

"Grandpa is old, he definitely can't go with me. My brother, you know me, I can't even hide in time, so..."

Having said that, Lu Ziyang looked at her expectantly, "Sister, do you have time? If you really can't spare the time, I can do it myself -"

"I have time." Jiang Li expressed her attitude before he finished speaking.

Many times, she would see her former self in Lu Ziyang, so she would always reluctantly refuse the boy's request.

"I'll pick you up at the old house at a certain time tomorrow."

"tomorrow--"

"I'll take you there at nine o'clock tomorrow." Xie Huaichu's cold voice sounded at the door of the living room.

He walked in slowly, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

Hearing this, Lu Ziyang opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Brother, are you sending us? Are you sure?"

"Why not?" Xie Huaichu glanced at him calmly and sat down next to Jiang Li. "I've been studying in Yuncheng recently, so I'm just on my way."

Jiang Li tilted her head to look at him, full of doubts about his words.

Is it really such a coincidence? She didn't believe it.

Lu Ziyang's face fell, and he was obviously uncomfortable.

My eyes inadvertently swept to his forehead, and seeing him sweating profusely, I couldn't help but speak.

"Brother, are you okay? Why are you sweating so much in such a cold day?"

Jiang Li also looked over when she heard this, frowning slightly.

Xie Huaichu raised his hand and pinched his nose unnaturally, and coughed twice from his throat, "I was cold, so I exercised a little."

God knows how devastated he felt when he saw the two of them chatting and laughing and then leaving him behind.

He made countless psychological hints before he timidly got out of the car and stepped into the yard cautiously.

When he came here before, it was not very early and Mango had already been locked in a cage by Grandma Lin, so he was fearless.

It was still early today, and Mango was strolling leisurely in the yard. As soon as he stepped in, it noticed him.

Xie Huaichu felt as if his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't move at all, but he still forced himself to walk into the yard bit by bit.

Mango probably didn't pay much attention to him at first and just glanced at him casually.

Slowly, after noticing his abnormality, Mango slowly walked towards him. Xie Huaichu's heart was in his throat.

He was so nervous that his tongue was talking and he didn't even dare to look at the furry creature.

Every step he took felt like he was treading on a mountain of knives, and fear filled his entire being.

"Woof!" Mango felt more and more that something was wrong with him, and suddenly shouted at him.

Xie Huaichu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and stood still, not daring to make any more rash moves.

Fortunately, a savior appeared at this time. Grandma Lin came from outside and looked at this scene with curiosity. "Xiao Xie, why don't you go in?"

"Grandma, help me." Xie Huaichu squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his face was frighteningly pale.

Lin Guifang understood and hurriedly drove Mango into the cage. Xie Huaichu then felt as if he had been pardoned.

"Exercise?" Lu Ziyang raised his eyebrows, and after exchanging glances with Jiang Li, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Brother, it's not shameful for you to admit that you were scared by the dog."

Xie Huaichu: "..."

Can he throw this kid out?

Jiang Li stood up and handed him a cup of tea, lowering her eyes to glance at him, "Hey, drink some to calm your nerves."

Xie Huaichu raised his hand to take it, looking at the little girl standing in front of him, his eyes full of grievance.

He put his arms around the little girl's waist, his voice full of accusations, "Ali, you scared me to death. You can't leave me again next time, okay?"

Lu Ziyang: “…”

Is his brother acting like a spoiled brat? Oh my god, this is so weird.

Jiang Li twitched her lips: "..."

After a long while, she raised her hand and patted his back, perfunctorily comforting him, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I won't do it again next time."

***
The next morning, Xie Huaichu appeared at the door of Bishuihuai Study on time.

In the back seat, Lu Ziyang rubbed his sleepy eyes and said in a daze.

"Brother, do you have any humanity at all? We can leave at nine o'clock. You pulled me out of bed at six o'clock. You are still my brother."
