Chapter 25 - 23 Dining and Karaoke
The private room wasn't very large, but its décor was tasteful. As soon as Yin Xian walked in and glanced around, he subtly nodded in approval. Li Si noticed his expression and smiled softly. If Yin Xian, with his discerning eye, found the place satisfactory, it was likely to please anyone.
After taking their seats, everyone ordered the restaurant's signature dishes. While waiting for the food, they chatted casually. Yin Xian leaned close to Li Si and whispered, "Li Si, why did you leave in such a hurry that time? Beibei even had me bring him to your house to look for you a couple of times afterward!"
Thinking of Beibei's adorable little face, Li Si smiled and said, "I was back at school once the semester started. When you have time, let him know. I'll make sure to visit him when I get the chance!"
"You should say that to him in person. If he knows you're looking for him, that kid will be over-the-moon happy!" Yin Xian had seen firsthand just how fond Beibei was of Li Si.
"Really? I really like that kid too. After the New Year, when I have some free time, I'll take a trip to Beijing!" Li Si was genuinely delighted. Being cared about and liked by someone—especially such an adorable little boy—was a wonderful feeling.
"Maybe you won't even need to go to see him," Yin Xian said with a mysterious smile. Earlier, while they were waiting for the others, he had called his sister Yin Qi and found out that their family was already on their way to North City.
"Seriously? Are they really coming to North City?" Li Si remembered Aunt Han had mentioned her hometown was North City, but considering her age and how far Beijing was from North City, it would be a hassle to make such a trip without a good reason.
Yin Xian nodded with a smile. Li Si, growing excited, asked, "When will they arrive? I've really been missing Beibei a lot."
"You'll probably see them tomorrow!"
"Haha, that's fantastic! My school starts winter break tomorrow, so I'll have plenty of time to properly host Aunt Han and the others!" Li Si was already thinking about how to spend winter vacation—perhaps taking Beibei out to play.
"What about me? Isn't it important to host me well while I'm here?" Yin Xian asked cheekily.
