Qin Siting looked at her for a moment, one hand in his pocket. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood there smiling.
âWhy are you smiling?â She looked at him curiously.
âDonât you know that the four big families of Hai City share a stake in Lishui Villa?â he asked.
âI know. When Uncle Qin helped me buy that villa, he mentioned it to me once.â
âThe reason no one has been living in the villa across from you is because that villa has already been taken. Itâs just that the owner of the villa hasnât moved in.â Qin Siting looked at her.
Shi Niange was stunned for a moment before looking up at him. She felt that her intelligence should be sufficient, but a possibility seemed to appear in her mind. However, she felt that it was impossible and did not dare to think so. She only looked at him blankly. âSo?â
Qin Siting lowered his eyes to look at her. He raised his hand and touched her head. âDo you really want me to stay there?â
The possibility in Shi Niangeâs heart gradually increased because of his words. Her black and bright eyes seemed to reflect light in an instant. âThat villa is yours?â
Qin Sitingâs handsome brows raised slightly. He did not answer, but he tacitly agreed.
âItâs really yours?â Her eyes widened.
He smiled slightly.
âAh ah ah ah! Oh my god!â Shi Niange immediately jumped up and circled around him, screaming non-stop. âAh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahââ
âWhat are you doing?â Qin Siting turned back to see her jumping around. She almost jumped off the stone platform by the road and onto the road. He quickly reached out and pulled her back. Shi Niange immediately bumped into his arms.
She raised her head to look at him and was extremely excited. She placed her hands on his face and touched her own face. Then, she continued to scream and spin in circles.
Seeing that she was so excited that she could not speak, Qin Siting :â...â
âWhat to do, what to do! So youâre actually the owner of the villa across the street who hasnât been staying there! Weâve been neighbors for a long time! Why didnât you tell me when you went to my house that time!â
She still remembered that time when he stood by her window and looked at the villa across the street. However, she didnât think so much at that time. She didnât dare to think about it!
Qin Siting looked at her and saw that she was slightly calmer now. He then said, âThereâs nothing to say. After all, we didnât move in.â
âThereâs a difference, okay? If I knew that the villa was yours, I would jump into the villaâs yard every night after school to help you trim the lawn. Look, your villaâs front yard and backyard are so big. Itâs much bigger than mine, okay? But no one has been living there. No one has been renovating or maintaining the environment outside. The weeds are everywhere. Even the backyardâs garden is filled with all sorts of fruit trees and grass. If I had known, I would have called the gardener from the Shi family over...â
Qin Siting smiled. âThereâs no rush. Iâll get someone to clean it up after we move in.â
Shi Niangeâs eyes widened in an instant. âAre you going to move in? Are you preparing to move in? Really? Really, Qin Siting?â
She was like an excited little lark as she jumped back and forth by his side. She held onto his hand and kept jumping up and down like a little bird or a little kid who had suddenly obtained a car full of sugar. Her eyes were filled with happiness and anticipation.
Qin Siting was almost dizzy from her spin. He raised his hand to press against her shoulder. âAll right, stop spinning. Iâll get someone to clean up. Iâll tell you when you can stay.â
âAh, ah, ah, ah. Is it convenient for you to look for someone now? If you canât find anyone suitable for the time being, Iâll call someone over tonight. Iâll get someone to help you clean up. I donât know if thereâs any renovation inside. If itâs renovated, itâll only take two to three days. If itâs not renovated, then...â
Qin Siting sighed and smiled. âThereâs no need to rush.â
âIâm anxious, Iâm anxious!â Shi Niange raised her hand and pointed at herself. âIâm very anxious. I wish I could finish cleaning up tonight. You can appear in front of my house early tomorrow morning!â
After speaking, she did not feel embarrassed. She looked up at him. âCan you understand my anxiety, Qin Siting?â
He lowered his eyes to look at her bright eyes and chuckled without speaking.
âIâm really anxious. Previously, I didnât know that the villa was yours. I didnât dare to think about it, but now that I know, I really want to be your neighbor. I donât even want to go back to the school dormitory to live with Zhao Xiaoqing anymore. I just want to go back to Lishui Villa every day. Letâs go to school together every day, okay? Weâll come back on the weekends!â
She had said the wordsâ forget about loyalty âtoo clearly. Qin Siting raised his brows and looked at her. Right now, Shi Niange could no longer care what he thought of her. She was already overwhelmed by her immense excitement.
If she could be any more shameless, she would be so excited that she could hug him like a lazy bear.
âIâll send you back first.â At this moment, an empty car stopped by. Qin Siting gently patted her back, indicating for her to get on.
Shi Niange could not bear to leave and grabbed his sleeve.
âGo back. Iâll get someone to clean up. I have to come over to help your grandfather tomorrow. Do you plan on being caught by someone here?â When Qin Siting said this, his eyes seemed to be smiling.
Shi Niange quickly removed her hand from his sleeve, but she still looked at him excitedly.
Actually, it was nothing. The two of them were the last ones to walk out of the laboratory. They were the ones who turned off the lights.
But there was no guarantee that some of the employees would forget something and come back to pick it up at the last minute.
Qin Siting was such a smart person. How could he not see that although her grandfather liked him, he clearly did not think of anything else. Furthermore, her grandfather was stubborn. If he knew that she had some emotional friction with the student he admired most under his nose, who knew if he would be angry.
Qin Siting must have seen how careful she was in front of Grandfather. Otherwise, he wouldnât have said that.
She turned to open the car door and got into the car. Before closing the door, she looked at him. âThen donât forget to quickly get someone to clean up the villa. Iâm serious. If you donât have the time now, I can immediately get someone to clean up.â
âArrange for someone to go over tomorrow, will that do?â Qin Siting stood by the side of the road. The wind blew past, and the snow under his feet rose. Behind him was a clean, white expanse, but his gaze was no longer as distant and indifferent as before. Although it was still calm, there was patience and warmth that she could clearly see.
