Chapter 764 It Was Great to Be Young
After hanging up the call, Fu Qingxuan became obsessed with either deleting or keeping the post on Moments.
In the end, he made up his mind not to delete it since the post was out there now. At least, everybody would know that his little sister called him Brother.
These people would only remember Xixi calling him Brother. No one would be so silly to gossip about whether his little sister addressed him the same in the past. The reveal that Shen Xi was Dr. Jiu Zhou stirred a huge uproar in China, not so much on the international stage though. Shen Xi’s activities were limited within China after all.
The winter vacation was only for a month. With Shen Xi’s identity out of the bag, she kept a low profile and did not even show up at her family’s secondary laboratory in China again.
As for the invitations to engage in various medical events, Shen Xi turned them all down. The medical community with inside information on that matter was disgruntled toward the people who had given Shen Xi nothing but doubt and hostility in the last conference. Had they not acted like a snob, Shen Xi, who was ready to come out of seclusion and actively engage in the medical scene, would not have suddenly gone back into hiatus. It was clearly these people’s fault that Shen Xi was disappointed in China’s medical community.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi was having a blissful and relaxing holiday.
It was not her intention to hang out at the medical scene. Qingli discussed with her about laying the groundwork for their secondary laboratory and playing with the big boys. This was necessary work to make a name in China.
What happened thereafter was right up her alley by chance. She would disappear and not make another appearance.
“What time is your big brother coming?” Gazing at the girl catnapping on his lap, Li Yuan asked.
“I don’t know.” Shen Xi listlessly responded, wrinkling her nose as the wind tickled her hair against her face.
With a doting smile, Li Yuan reached out to curl her hair behind her ears before grazing her little nose. “It’s getting a little windy. Let’s get inside.”
Although the sun was bright in the winter, the weather was still cold. Shen Xi did not do well in the cold, but she insisted on basking in the sunlight.
“Oh.” Shen Xi nodded compliantly while clinging onto his arm like a sloth.
Li Yuan helplessly smiled and slapped her hand. “Move a little to the back.”
Shen Xi was too lazy to move even an inch. Still, she listened to him and moved back a touch to lean on his back. Putting her arms around his neck, she drew her lips next to his ear. “My big brother said that Guoguo and Lil’ Zhen will be coming home with us.”
“What about me?” Li Yuan inquired.
“Oh, you.” Shen Xi paused, letting a hint of cunningness slip past her eyes as she nibbled on his ear and uttered in a muffled tone. “You have to stay back and keep Uncle Li company for the New Year. Uncle Li must be so lonely in the barren Li Mansion.”
“Kun Lun and the rest are there for him,” Li Yuan answered.
“That reminds me. As their boss, you should be spending the New Year with them. You’re staying at Li Mansion this year.” Shen Xi teased him.
“You don’t miss me?” Li Yuan asked whiningly.
“No.” Shen Xi shook her head. Getting the thrill of it, she huffed into his ear between nibbles.
The little game Shen Xi played sparked a flame from his ear to every inch of his body. Swallowing hard, he could not hide the gruff in his voice. “Ingrate.” “I miss you!” Shen Xi chirped, making him go weak in the knees with her sweet voice. “My heart aches the second I can’t see you.”
Li Yuan chuckled heartily. He turned his head and sealed her lips. “Where did you learn all that smooth talk from?”
Shen Xi looked doe-eyed at him as they faced each other. She batted her luscious lashes and cooed lovingly, “You like it?”
Li Yuan licked his lips and murmured in a sultry voice, “I do.” While Shen Xi lost her breath, the man grabbed her by the waist and pulled her forward.
She instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist as he cupped her sweet cheeks. A flush quickly traveled through her bloodstream straight to her face.
It all happened in a flash.
Li Yuan leaned forward and met her lips. With her breath taken away, Shen Xi’s mind went blank. All she remembered along the slow walk home was the air sucked right out of her.
Under the sunlight, the air came to the boiling point along with their passion. Even the cool breeze was stained a sensual shade.
Then came Uncle Li to call them over for lunch. Watching the scene, he immediately covered his eyes and turned around. The smile on his face was content though.
The young master and Ms. Shen were married on paper. It was a wonder when they would have children to bring life and joy into the huge Li Mansion.
However, Uncle Li did not sit around and wait for long as Li Yuan and Shen Xi soon returned hand in hand. The good-looking pair were such eye candies. Uncle Li had to say that it was great to be young
There was a lot that Shen Xi and Li Yuan could do together as a couple. Even if they did nothing, they were filled with love to just quietly lie there together.
Nevertheless, they barely had time to be alone. Other than having to go with Fu Qingxuan to mingle with the crowd for experience, Shen Xi usually had a full schedule.
Sometimes she had to stay at home during her time off. There was no chance for some hanky-panky if she was at home.
She managed to get away today with a bit of time in her hands. Shen Xi dragged Li Yuan to Li Mansion for a moment together.
Alas, the bliss did not last long. Fu Qingli called during lunch and told her to pick Lu Guoguo and Lu Zhen up at the tutoring agency. Fu Qingli had been spending a lot of time with Lu Li lately. Shen Xi believed there was a breakthrough in their relationship, but she stayed out of their business to let nature take its course.
At half-past four, the couple showed up at the tutoring agency on time. It was a music center where the children learned to play the drums.
Many little ones had come out, but the two kids were nowhere in sight.
Afraid something might have happened, Shen Xi pulled Li Yuan along to enter the building and quickly located the classroom for drum lessons.
Although there were not many people left in the classroom, it was a chaotic scene. A woman with a thick cake of makeup on her bitter face had a finger up Lu Zhen’s nose and was yelling at him angrily.
