Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 421 Heartless in a CEO Novel (1)

Evening, study.

Golden sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows as Xia Youmi sat back in her swivel chair, lost in thought. Outside, the lake rippled, and people jogged amidst the greenery. In the distance, the rhythmic sound of basketballs bouncing on the ground mingled with the laughter of children playing.

Xia Youmi blended comfortably with the scenery.

I just stared blankly at it, and closed my eyes as the darkness gradually deepened.

After a long while, the sound of entering the password suddenly rang out in the room.

"drop--"

"They're here..." Xia Youmi's voice was still sleepy. Without turning around, she could tell who was coming from the footsteps and breathing that were getting closer.

Sure enough, a familiar embrace came from behind, easily pulling her into a tight hug.

He rubbed his palm against her head, bringing a faint, pleasant fragrance.

That smell came from the disinfectant wipes he kept in his car. It seemed that when he drove her back, he hadn't forgotten her habit of disinfecting the skin he would touch first.

"Why are you so late today?" Xia Youmi gradually came to her senses.

Yu Li carefully lifted her up and placed her on the living room sofa, then squeezed next to her.

Although only the small light in the entryway was turned on, which did little to brighten the entire living room, Xia Youmi still noticed a suspicious redness on his face.

"Puchi-"

Xia Youmi couldn't help but laugh. The two had known each other's expressions, movements, and changes for so many years that they were intimately familiar with each other's tacit understanding.

Yu Li had already guessed that Xia Youmi had guessed as well.

"Uncle, he chatted with me for a while." Yu Li couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. Both of them had fair skin, but usually, when drinking or feeling shy, only Yu Li would show it on his face, while Xia Youmi didn't show much physiological change. This made him spend more time studying the meaning behind the other's expression.

The girl in front of him shared only five parts shyness, three parts watching the show, and two parts eagerness. Oh no, Yu Li felt his face burning even hotter after deciphering Xia Youmi's emotions.

"What did my dad say? Did he beat you?" Xia Youmi was overjoyed to see that shy look on that handsome face that she could never get tired of looking at.

Like a cute little puppy inviting you to pet it.

“My uncle said I should respect your opinion. Also, I absolutely cannot look at other women again, unless you don’t want me.” Yu Li immediately emphasized, “You Mi will not abandon me! In the future, I will never look at any woman other than You Mi, except for my own female animals!”

"How childish." Xia Youmi puffed out her cheeks.

I thought my dad was going to say something vicious.

This kind of guarantee is basically meaningless!

“Youmi, this time we’re serious. This time it’s different. Your aunt and uncle are serious too!” Yu Li said solemnly.

He cupped Xia Youmi's somewhat evasive face in his hands, brought it slightly closer, and stared intently into his beautiful eyes.

"Hmm... I understand." Xia Youmi really couldn't stand this.

"Hey." Yu Li laughed. As childhood sweethearts for many years, they naturally knew each other's weaknesses and their own strengths.

Yomi loves his eyes the most.

As long as he keeps his eyes fixed on her for even a day, she will stand firmly by his side.

"Yu Li, can you see our future?"

"Of course!"

Yu Li's words were resolute.

"Then why can't I see it? Everything is going so smoothly." Xia Youmi's tone carried an imperceptible sense of dejection and disgust. She herself couldn't understand why she would feel weightless for no reason at what should have been the happiest and most comfortable moment.

She rested her head silently on his shoulder.

Yu Li's heart clenched for a moment, but she calmed it down with her powerful self-regulation, then pulled the person tightly into her arms before saying:

"It's okay, it's not your fault. It's just that there's been so much going on lately. You're busy with graduation, job interviews, moving, organizing your aunt and uncle's birthday party, and you're also going to work in a new, unfamiliar, and complicated environment."

"Although there is a lot of joy, it can be really tiring."

“I’ve been through all of this, so don’t doubt that it’s your problem anymore.” Yu Li’s tone gradually became firm. He tried to cover Xia Youmi’s ears with his hands, but Xia Youmi spoke first.

"Yu Li, lately, my absent-mindedness seems to be getting worse." These words, though tinged with weakness, struck Yu Li's heart like a hammer blow.

Xia Youmi has been prone to absent-mindedness since childhood.

It seems like something is missing from my mind.

As a child, she couldn't clearly describe her symptoms, so her parents took her to the hospital for a checkup. They confirmed that nothing was missing in her brain and everything was functioning normally. If she still had this hypersensitivity, it might be a condition where her five senses are overly acute.

gradually,

Xia Youmi accepted this premise; she had exceptional eyesight, hearing, and a strong sense of smell.

Although the problem of being in a daze still exists, she has learned to manage it as she has grown up.

With Yu Li by his side, he gradually opened up.

"Youmi, if you feel unwell, look at me!" Yu Li leaned forward and pressed her forehead against Xia Youmi's, then moved upwards, positioning her heart against Xia Youmi's ear. "Listen to my voice, look into my eyes."

"Ugh."

Xia Youmi let out a puppy-like whimper. Yu Li thought of something and continued to coax her, "Besides work and our lives, you can come to my clinic more often to see the new members."

"Ah."

Yu Li is a veterinarian, a full year older than Xia Youmi. Now, Xia Youmi has just graduated, while Yu Li has already established himself at the city's most advanced pet hospital.

Besides his more than sufficient learning ability and academic qualifications, there is also the affinity that Yu Li and Xia Youmi have developed over the years of rescuing stray animals together, which makes it impossible for people and animals to refuse his closeness.

Although this was not what Yu Li's family or he had wished for when he was young, Yu Li truly fell in love with this profession after he got the hang of it.

"Therefore, there are so many wonderful things waiting for us in the future. Youmi, don't be sad anymore."

"Yu Li, I want to be unreasonable." Xia Youmi looked up, and her words made Yu Li feel adorable.

"Well, you said."

"I... I don't want you to continue being a veterinarian..." Xia Youmi didn't dare to look the other person in the eye. Soon, she prepared to save face with a joke.

"No."

"I'm sorry!" Yu Li's apology interrupted Xia Youmi's explanation.

“It’s my fault as your boyfriend that made you feel insecure.” Yu Li quickly found the root of the problem in himself. In fact, he had also gone through this phase with Xia Youmi. In his first year at work, he had too many times only sought comfort and hugs from his girlfriend.

In reality, I don't have that much free time to actively seek out the other person.

In other words, he received more care but failed to give Xia Youmi equal love.

In a social sense, a man's career-building phase temporarily blinds him to the need for clarity.

You shouldn't take a girl's thoughtfulness for granted at all.

no!

Xia Youmi knew in her heart that wasn't what she meant. But she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she just silently shook her head. Xia Youmi's desire for the other person to change careers wasn't out of a sense of security, nor was it out of jealousy.

It is a deep intuition that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

It seems that if Yu Li continues to work as a veterinarian, she will encounter uncontrollable events.

originally,

This wasn't the doctor Yu Li wanted to be.

Xia Youmi's absent-mindedness always finds relief after seeing stray animals properly cared for. She seems to be searching for something, and the two of them often spend their after-school activities rescuing animals in the city.

This situation continued until high school graduation.

Yu Li balanced everything, and after learning that Xia Youmi wouldn't be taking the veterinary medicine exam, she applied for it herself.

His family situation wasn't exactly casual either.

She was given freedom, but not to this extent. As a result, Yu Li's relationship with her family was not very good during the years she spent choosing a major and seeking employment.

Xia Youmi inexplicably chose finance as her major.

It seems that this is the path Yu Li should take.

Given her current situation, it seems unreasonable for Xia Youmi to suddenly ask her to leave her current profession.

"That's not what I meant. I didn't want to interfere with your choice either." Xia Youmi's voice trembled with tears.

"Don't say that, I must ask you to intervene!" Yu Li kissed him.

Xia Youmi fell into a state of physiological confusion.

Her mind began to drift, and her worries about the future seemed to have lost their anchor.

"Don't be sad."

"Ah."

"Also, I forgot to tell you, besides my uncle's instructions to me," Yu Li said, panting with pride, "my aunt also gave me some gifts. She wanted me to show you respect and care through my actions."
