However, although Tang Xi's face changed fast, it was still possible for people to recognize her. Her facial features remained the same, but those who saw her would feel that she was even more beautiful and attractive. Everyone would think that she looked more beautiful because her skin became better...
But it was actually not because of this...
Only Tang Xi knew it was because of 008.
Xiao Yao felt nothing wrong with the fact that Tang Xi had become more beautiful. He asked Yang Jingxian to attract the attention of the press and took Tang Xi to her school from the underground garage. Tang Xi stared at him along the way, wondering whether she should ask Xiao Yao about his work, but he reached out his hand to turn her head forward, saying, "Watch the road."
Tang Xi curled her lip and replied, "I'm not driving, so I don't need to watch the road."
Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head."Is there anything you want to ask me?"
"Yao, are you..."
Before Tang Xi finished, however, Xiao Yao's phone rang. Hearing the ring tone, Tang Xi knew this wasn't Xiao Yao's personal phone, but his phone for work. Xiao Yao turned solemn when he heard the ring. He picked up the phone, and kept silent for a while before saying in a low voice, "Come and pick me up. I will send you my coordinates."
He hung up. Before he said anything, Tang Xi said, "I can go by myself. Yao, if you have something to do, please go about your business."
"I'll send you to school. It will take them some time to come and pick me up." Xiao Yao took a deep look at Tang Xi and said seriously, "Rourou, I know what you want to ask me, but I want to tell you that everything in the world can be dangerous. It just depends on your choice. I think what I've been doing is very meaningful."
Tang Xi didn't expect that Xiao Yao had seen through her mind. She nodded and smiled at Xiao Yao, replying, "I know, Yao, but you must keep yourself safe."
She couldn't make decisions for others. If this was Yao's own choice, she would choose to respect him. She thought Yao made a good point in that everything in the world could be dangerous. For example, she had simply got on a plane yet experienced a fatal crash. In fact, people shouldn't be overcautious, as long as they thought what they were doing was meaningful.
Xiao Yao rubbed Tang Xi's hair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your brother will be fine."
Tang Xi nodded, but she was still worried.
For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy today.
She hoped he would be really fine.
They soon arrived at the school. Xiao Yao stopped his car at the roadside and gave Tang Xi the car key. After seeing Tang Xi enter the school, he called Xiao Jing and asked him to drive the car home and pick up Xiao Rou in the afternoon. Knowing Xiao Yao's job was special, Xiao Jing didn't ask much but merely hung up after expressing his understanding.
Xiao Jing hung up the call and murmured, "Are CIA agents really so busy? Didn't he just come back yesterday? Why was he called away so soon? Did something happen?"
Hearing him talking to himself, Xiao Sa went over, poked him in the waist and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jing took a look at Xiao Sa and replied, "Yao was called away again. Do you think Yao is really an agent?"
Why did he have the feeling that Yao was hiding something from them?
Xiao Sa frowned."He was called away again?"
Xiao Sa remembered he had just read news about a drug lord of Golden Triangle sneaking into China and about the anti-terrorist organizations of several countries having a meeting, discussing how to catch this drug lord...
He frowned and said, "I don't feel right this time!"
Xiao Jing took a breath, looking pale."I also feel a bit uneasy."
At this time, sitting in the classroom, Tang Xi was distracted. She knew that this was not because of what had happened last night, but because of the phone call Xiao Yao had just received. After breathing in deeply for several times, she forced herself to calm down and concentrate on the class.
Ning Ke had been paying attention to Tang Xi ever since she helped him solve the math problem on Friday. Today, he had been looking at Tang Xi. As soon as she entered the classroom, he had noticed that Xiao Rou had become more beautiful. Every single move she made looked so attractive to him...
What should he do? He was still a thirteen-year-old teenager. The most important thing for him right now was to study. He had always thought girls were a nuisance, but why was he suddenly paying attention to a girl?
Yang Jingxian accidentally knocked over the glass cup on the table while she was cleaning Tang Xi's room. She reached out to pick it up only to cut her hand. Seeing that his mother's hand was covered in blood, Xiao Sa, who had happened to pass by, rushed to fetch the medicine cabinet, and as he set about bandaging the cut for her, he asked with a frown, "Mom, take a rest. Xiao Jing and I will do the cleaning for you. How come you cut your hand so badly?"
Yang Jingxian felt warm in her heart when she saw her son's worried look."Maybe I didn't have a good breakfast, so my heart was beating a bit fast. I accidentally knocked over Rourou's cup and got myself cut while trying to pick it up."
Hearing the noise, Xiao Jing also came out of the room. When he saw Yang Jingxian was injured, he hurried to check his mom's injury and then cleaned up the broken glass after making sure she was alright. He sighed and said, "Why do all of us feel uneasy today?"
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa looked at each other, and the two brothers said tacitly, "Look, we beat each other into this, and Mom, you cut your hand, so..."
"What are you talking about!" Yang Jingxian said angrily before Xiao Sa finished."Breaking a cup is a good omen! What are you talking about?"
"Where's your eldest brother?" Yang Jingxian looked at the time and frowned."He should have sent Rourou to school and come back by now."
Xiao Sa pretended that he didn't hear anything and continued bandaging Yang Jingxian, lowering his head. In any case, Yao had called Jing, not him, so Jing should tell Mom about this—he wouldn't get himself into this trouble.
Knowing what Xiao Sa was thinking, Xiao Jing glared at him and said, "Yao just called me and said he would be away from City A for a few days because he had something to attend to. His car is parked at the gate of Rourou's school, and he asked me to drive it home when picking up Rourou in the afternoon."
Yang Jingxian only knew that her eldest son often went out. Although her son never talked about his work, she knew he had a job, though no one told her about it, because her eldest son had never asked her for money all these years.
Her eldest son had always been the most reliable one, so she nodded and didn't say anything more, no longer worrying about him.
