"Just park at the next intersection." She said calmly.
"Your home is at the next intersection?" No... A faint surprise flashed in Huangfu Yi's eyes, as if he felt it was inconsistent with the information he obtained.
"My daughter wants to eat ice cream, and her godmother is waiting for me there!" Li Xiaoyou told a lie, because for some reason, she just wanted to take a walk by herself.
After returning to City S for so long, she has never been alone. Let alone returning to China, it was the same even when she was in the United States. This kind of time when she was alone started after having her daughter Li Youyou.
After a long time, she really missed that kind of loneliness.
Look, people in this world are inherently mean. They obviously long for care, but after getting it, they miss the loneliness they once had.
Maybe she is not a warm-hearted person in nature. Even her classmates and teachers would say that she was more cheerful when she was young, but only she knows how indifferent she is deep down.
"Okay." Huangfuyi looked at his watch and found that the time was almost the same as someone's previous appointment, so he had to drop her off at the intersection as she said.
"I won't say thank you today." Li Xiaoyou smiled softly and opened the car door.
Huangfu Yi coughed awkwardly in a low voice, followed him out of the car and was stopped by her.
"No, you go back early. Drive carefully."
Huangfu Yi nodded silently and said, "Bye."
Li Xiaoyou nodded and got out of the car, said goodbye and waved.
It wasn't until Huangfu Yi's car disappeared that she remembered that the person who should say thank you should be Huangfu Yi. When did she become herself?
Embarrassing...

Ice cream shop.
After choosing her daughter's favorite flavors and adding some new flavors of ice cream, Li Xiaoyou walked out of the ice cream shop carrying two bags. Because it was winter, the ice cream would not melt even if a thermal bag was not used.
It was already past ten o'clock, and because it was too cold, there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Countless cars passed by, and the cold wind followed them. Li Xiaoyou took out a hand and wrapped it tightly around his windbreaker, thinking that he was only wearing the windbreaker underneath.
Wearing an evening dress, the calves below the knees were all exposed to the cold air, as if they were shivering with a small layer of ice crystals.
Li Xiaoyou slowly lowered his head and looked at the pair of crystal high heels named "Cinderella" on his feet. Scenes of Gong Yan passed by in front of his eyes. The strict guards, the dignified lady, the majestic king
, Dehui’s queen, and the Huangfu Yi who suddenly appeared in his life and felt inexplicably familiar to him...
All of this is really a bit hypocritical.
She has never liked hypocritical things, because her mentor in the United States once said, "You need to be truthful, and you don't need humility or any hypocrisy."
But why at this moment, when she thought of her mentor's words, what appeared in her mind was the scene of Mu Chenfeng and that beautiful female star leaving hand in hand?
The light stretched her shadow very long, so long that it seemed as if she had crossed a strange country. This cold and uncaring night should have been the clearest moment for thinking. But Li Xiaoyou felt that her mind was surprisingly chaotic.
It's like tens of thousands of ants crawling around in a dense density. From a distance, the density reveals infinite fear and some fear of the unknown.
Li Xiaoyou took a deep breath, and those tiny factors condensed into white mist in the air. She felt faintly incredible.
Six years ago, Mr. Ye loved the winter in S city, but he was extremely afraid of the cold snaps that came from traveling to other places in winter.
For a long time, she was afraid of the dark, and it was the first time in the past six years to stand like this with bare legs on the street in the middle of winter. But Huangfu Yi, you unknowingly made me face fear again.
