Chapter 40 was passed down, and Gu Huaizhou pestered Li Xi all night.
But Li Xi couldn't bear to refuse, "Thank you for your trouble, housekeeper."
Gu Han said politely, "Oh, it's all part of my job, no trouble at all."
Gu Huaizhou lived in a remote location; he had to walk to the lakeside road to find a car.
On the way, Gu Han asked Li Xi about his preference for accommodations. He said, "There are quite a few guests tonight. The East District Guest House is quieter, and it's mostly older guests staying there."
"The lakeside villas across the street are more lively. They are mostly inhabited by young people who hold barbecue parties and dances in the evenings."
"There are plenty of rooms available for you to choose from on both sides."
After thinking for a moment, Li Xi said, "Then let's stay at the lakeside villa."
Young people hang out with other young people.
"Ok."
Gu Han led Li Xi to Villa No. 5 in the lakeside area. The villas in this area are used to take care of guests. The villa is quite large, with only two guests arranged on each floor.
Li Xi lived on the third floor, and the girl who lived on the first floor with her was about seven or eight years old.
She wore a striped cashmere thermal suit, and her natural chestnut-colored curly hair made her look like a little doll. Her oval face had mixed-race features.
The little girl was holding a small Pomeranian in her arms, standing in the corridor, looking at Li Xi with a mixture of curiosity and timidity.
Upon seeing the little girl, Gu Han bent down and asked, "Lili, what are you doing here?"
Lili put down the puppy she was holding and gestured to Gu Han.
A look of astonishment flashed across Li Xi's eyes.
Can't this child talk?
Gu Han understood the little girl's gesture. He took Lili's hand and said, "Grandpa Gu will tell you a story tonight."
Gu Han led Lili towards the room on the east side of the corridor. He told Li Xi, "The little girl's name is Ying Li, and her nickname is Lili. She is a child that Dr. Ying adopted from abroad. She suffered a trauma when she was young and cannot speak."
"Dr. Ying?" Who is that?
“Oh.” Gu Han remembered that Li Xi did not know Dr. Ying, so he patiently explained, “Dr. Ying is Mr. Huai Zhou’s best friend. He works at St. Anne’s Hospital. He is a surgeon and has a lot of experience in treating neurological diseases and neurosurgery.”
Li Xi suddenly realized, "You mean Ying Chengfeng, the number one master surgeon in Sheng'an?"
"Miss Li Xi has also heard of him?"
"Dr. Ying is the living advertisement of St. Anne's Hospital. Every patient in Dongzhou City who has been to St. Anne's Hospital knows him, right?"
Li Xi knew him because her adoptive mother, Zhang Xiang, had developed migraines a couple of years ago and ran into Ying Chengfeng when she went to see a doctor at Sheng'an Hospital.
Zhang Xiang and Xie Mingzong each pursued their own interests outside the marriage. Xie Mingzong preferred flashy and slutty women, while Zhang Xiang favored innocent male college graduates and handsome, aloof mature men.
Coincidentally, Ying Chengfeng is the latter one.
Zhang Xiang fell in love with Ying Chengfeng at first sight in the hospital, and did some shameful things because of it.
Later, even Xie Xingyun and his sister couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Zhang Xiang in front of the whole family, which made her restrain herself.
Although Li Xi had never met Ying Chengfeng, she knew he was a high-quality single man.
He must be quite handsome.
"Miss Li Xi, you can stay in this room. Lili will stay in the room at the end of the corridor. I'll take her back to rest." Gu Han gave some more details and then led Ying Li to another room.
The Gu family is very hospitable, providing guests with bath towels and brand-new pajamas.
After Li Xi finished her bath and put away her dress, she was wondering what to wear the next morning when Butler Zhou arrived with brand new clothes.
She not only prepared outerwear for Li Xi, but also underwear.
Being a woman, Li Xi wasn't shy in front of Butler Zhou. She picked up the bra to check the size...
32C.
This is indeed her bra size.
Li Xi has a slender waist but a full bust. In her previous life, when she attended events with female celebrities, she was noticed by the chief planner of a lingerie brand, who wanted to hire her as a lingerie advertising model.
But Li Xizhi had no interest in this and refused outright.
Seeing that Li Xi seemed hesitant to speak, Butler Zhou guessed what was going on in her little head.
Butler Zhou explained, "I picked out all these clothes for you. I noticed you have a slim waist and a full figure, so I guessed this size would fit you..."
“It fits perfectly, this size is just right for me.” Li Xi praised Butler Zhou: “Butler Zhou has a good eye.”
Butler Zhou was somewhat envious of Li Xi's good figure. "Miss Li Xi has a really good figure. When I was your age, my thinnest waist was still two feet."
Touching the butler's uniform with its fitted waist, Butler Zhou sighed nostalgically, "I have to wear a 2.3-foot waist now."
As she got older and had given birth, Butler Zhou's figure was naturally not as slender as it had been in her youth.
Li Xi smiled and thanked Butler Zhou again.
After seeing Butler Zhou off, Li Xi was just about to go to sleep when she heard the sound of a ball bouncing outside.
Hearing the sound of a ball bouncing late at night gave one the feeling of being in a horror movie. Unable to sleep because of the noise, Li Xi had no choice but to open the door.
Ying Li picked up the ball, looked up, and silently gazed at Li Xi.
The little girl didn't say anything, but her eyes were clearly pleading.
Li Xi squatted down to look Ying Li in the eye and asked, "Can't you sleep, Li Li?"
Lili was not born deaf and mute; she cannot speak because she has a psycholinguistic disorder.
Understanding Li Xi's question, Ying Li gestured with her hands. Li Xi couldn't understand anything else, but she understood the gestures for 'sleep' and 'with you'.
She asked in surprise, "You want to sleep with me?"
The raccoon nodded.
She suddenly raised her arms and mimicked a graceful movement in the corridor.
Li Xi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You're afraid of ghosts, and you want to sleep with me?"
Ying Li nodded vigorously.
Oh no, she's run into a little mute who's afraid of ghosts and can't speak. Li Xi really doesn't know how to coax a child like that.
After much deliberation, Li Xi still ruthlessly rejected Ying Li, "No, Li Li, didn't your father tell you that you can't sleep with strangers?"
"What if my sister is a bad person, or a pervert?"
Ying Li looked sad.
But Li Xi is a person of principle, and she will not be soft-hearted towards Ying Li just because she is a girl.
"Come on, I'll take you back."
After sending Ying Li back, Li Xi quickly ran back to her room.
In the middle of the night, Li Xi was fast asleep when she suddenly heard the sound of fingernails scratching at the door again...
Li Xi woke up with a start, feeling a chill run down her spine.
She was in a daze for a moment before realizing that it was probably that little brat Ying Li causing trouble outside. Li Xi had no choice but to open the door again.
As Li Xi opened the door, just as she was about to lecture Ying Li, she noticed that Li Xi's eyes were closed.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Lili!"
Lili walked into the room with her eyes closed, and said in a strange voice, "I want to sleep with Sister Lixi. Sister Lixi, please don't send me away."
Li Xi was taken aback. "You can talk?"
Lili walked into the bedroom, lay down on the chaise lounge, curled up like a baby, and said to herself, "Sister Lixi smells so good, I want to sleep with Sister Lixi."
Li Xi realized that Lili was sleepwalking.
She suddenly remembered a report she had read before, about an elderly woman with sleepwalking disorder who, while in a wheelchair due to a fracture, would sleepwalk in the middle of the night, forgetting her illness and moving around as freely as a normal person.
So Ying Li was sleepwalking, and in her dream she didn't remember that she was mute, so she could speak?
Li Xi found it unbelievable.
She brought a blanket to cover Ying Li, then climbed back into bed, but couldn't sleep well for the rest of the night.
Just as dawn was breaking, the little guy on the sofa suddenly woke up.
She woke up, looked around, rubbed her eyes, and realized she was sleeping in Li Xi's room. She tiptoed out like a thief.
Li Xi opened her eyes, staring at the little girl's retreating figure, feeling both like laughing and crying.
*
In the morning, all the guests gathered in the restaurant for breakfast. The hosts were not there; only the two housekeepers, Du Yusheng and Gu Han, were there to entertain the guests.
Butler Zhou prepared a simple autumn-style outfit for Li Xi: a light beige turtleneck sweater, white jeans, and a well-tailored brown coat.
It accentuated Li Xi's intellectual elegance and serene, beautiful temperament.
Seeing Li Xi yawning, Du Yusheng smiled and asked her, "Miss Li Xi, didn't you get enough rest?"
Li Xi hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Yes, I was bothered by a guy and didn't sleep most of the night."
"..."
Whether it was my imagination or not, the entire restaurant seemed to fall silent after she said those words.
Gu Han, who was delivering bird's nest porridge to an elderly lady, looked shocked and bewildered upon hearing this.
I was kept up most of the night because I was bothered by her?
Pass it on!
Young Master Huaizhou pestered Li Xiao all night last night!
