Rustling for a mont, Xiao Bao pulled a brand-new phone watch from his pocket.
The surprise passed in a flash, Fu Yanci looked up, a smile hidden in his eyes, "So, when you wouldn’t let follow you around the mall yesterday, you two were busy buying this?"
Xiao Bao nodded slowly.
He tapped into the watch’s contacts, where Ye Li was the only entry.
Fu Yanci had just had Xiao Bao save his own number.
Buzz, the watch vibrated lightly, and Ye Li’s avatar lit up with a little red dot.
Seeing that Fu Yanci was staring at him, Xiao Bao opened the chat box and saw the ssage from Ye Li: "Brother Mu, I’m ho now! Let show you my room!"
Buzz.
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The watch kept vibrating, continuously receiving photos.
From the doorway view of the room to a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf filled with comics and novels, to a big bed piled with stuffed toys.
Even though it was just photos, it felt as if he was walking into her bedroom.
Ye Li also made a point to introduce her beloved pet: Da Bai.
Her entire face buried in Da Bai’s neck, Ye Li had taken a blissfully squinting picture, "It’s so soft and feels great, hugging Da Bai can put to sleep instantly! Brother Mu, next ti I’ll take you shopping so you can pick one you like to cuddle."
"By the way, rember to set your watch to vibrate, so your little uncle doesn’t find out!"
Very good.
She had nothing to say to him, she might not send a single ssage for days.
But with a little kid, her sharing urge was off the charts, and she had even bought him a phone watch when he had no ans of communication.
Excellent!
Seeing that Fu Yanci was smiling, but sohow he didn’t seem happy, Xiao Bao quickly snatched the watch back from his hand.
Then, instinctively, he glanced toward the distant Ye Mansion: Ye Li, you seem to be in trouble!
"Achoo..."
Inside the living room of the Ye Mansion, Ye Li rubbed her nose, eting Li Xueqing’s concerned gaze.
"Mum, I’m fine, maybe... soone is thinking of ?"
Making a joke, Ye Li took the invitation card handed to her and put it away.
"Since it’s specially from your professor, it ans this exhibition is very professional. Pay close attention when you go tomorrow..."
Li Xueqing gently advised.
When soothing music began playing from the basket next to the sofa, Li Xueqing’s eyes lit up and she pulled out her phone from a pile of wool.
On the screen was an unfamiliar number.
Ye Li’s heart raced.
She rembered clearly, Fu Yan had said, her mum’s phone could only dial her dad, Aunt Lan, and her own phone and WeChat voice calls; calls from anyone else wouldn’t connect.
Similarly, outsiders couldn’t call in.
So why was there an unknown number coming through?
Before Ye Li could react, Li Xueqing had already answered the call, "Hello... Yanci?"
???
Her first thought was that Fu Yanci had cheated, surely he had the programr add his number to her mum’s phone.
Ye Li’s second reaction was to look at her own phone.
The screen was still on the chat box where she had just ssaged Xiao Bao.
The latest sentence was, indeed, "So your little uncle doesn’t find out."
So, this was the result after being exposed.
Retribution ca as fast as a tornado, Ye Li had never dread that she had dug this hole herself.
Looking up again, across from her, Li Xueqing had hung up the phone, saying cheerfully, "Yanci said his little nephew is over at his place, and with no experience in taking care of kids, and his sister moved to her new place which is a bit far, so he asked if we could help him watch the child. I agreed!"
"Since there are only three of us at ho, having two more will be more lively!"
Laughingly, Li Xueqing stood up and headed for the kitchen, "Aunt Lan, prepare a few dishes that kids love for dinner; we’re having guests over!"
Ye Li: ...
A little over ten minutes later, a car pulled up outside and shut off its engine.
Soon after, the doorbell chid incessantly.
