She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

"Call the police?" I was still confused at this time, and Yuan Tianye's words startled me again, "Why call the police?"

Why did he mention calling the police? Could it be that...

Yuan Tianye continued anxiously, "Did someone bully you? I heard your voice just now, and then the call was hung up. No one answered when I called again. If your sister doesn't answer this call, I will call the police for her."

"It's okay! I'm fine! Xiaoye, don't call the police." I quickly interrupted Yuan Tianye and stopped him from calling the police.

Sure enough, when Zhou Hanzhi and I were struggling just now, I accidentally overheard the conversation with Yuan Tianye, and he heard what was going on here.

But I don’t know if he heard me calling Zhou Hanzhi’s name, and what I said afterwards.

If he heard it, it would be a disaster.

So I said cautiously: "It's just a misunderstanding, it's been dealt with, Xiaoye, don't worry..."

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Yuan Tianye frowned on the other end of the phone, with suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Sister, are you really okay? I see that you don't look right, and your hair is messy. Is there really no one bullying you?"

He watched very carefully and guessed the truth, but he did not see Zhou Hanzhi nor heard what we said. The call must have been cut off before Zhou Hanzhi and I had the argument.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and slowly adjusted my hair, and tried my best to smile naturally: "No, Xiaoye, you're overthinking it. No one bullied me. It was just an acquaintance who played a joke on me. I was startled and reacted like that. But now it's resolved. Don't worry."

I don't want Yuan Tianye to know what happened between Zhou Hanzhi and me, and there is no need to alarm others because of such a thing.

But the suspicion in Yuan Tianye's eyes did not dissipate, but became stronger: "A joke? Sister, didn't you just say it was a misunderstanding? Is it a joke or a misunderstanding?"

He was so meticulous that any small loophole in my words would not escape his ears.

I patiently explained again: "It was a joke. An acquaintance was joking with me, but I misunderstood it as a criminal. But now it's all settled, the man is gone, and everything is fine."

"Who is that acquaintance? Among my sister's friends, is there anyone who teased her so inappropriately that scared her to the point of turning pale?" Yuan Tianye was still asking.

He is still in doubt.

But his suspicion is indeed reasonable. I don’t have many friends around me, and I’m not a lively person, so generally no one plays any excessive jokes on me.

This is indeed difficult to explain, but I was quick-witted and blurted out, "It's Aunt Xu, the one you've met, the one from the property management. She just saw me texting you in the car and scared me on purpose, and even asked me who my boyfriend is."

Sorry, Aunt Xu, I have to use you to block it.

"Of course I am my sister's boyfriend! Who else could it be? But this is all my sister's business, what does it have to do with her!" As expected, when Yuan Tianye heard Aunt Xu's name, he immediately frowned and said unhappily, "This Aunt Xu is so outgoing and gossipy. She always likes to pry into other people's privacy and has no sense of propriety. Now she's even scaring my sister. It's really too much!"

"Yes, Aunt Xu is really too much, but she is old, so let's not bother with her. I just told her that she should be more restrained in the future." I quickly brushed the matter off, then stared at the background opposite Yuan Tianye, and asked in confusion, "Xiao Ye, where are you?"

Yuan Tianye told me this morning that he was going out to collect folk songs, so I roughly knew that he would go to the mountains and stay in a homestay at night. But at this moment, when I looked at his background, he was in front of a dark forest, and his face was also dim, which should be the reflection of a very weak yellow light.

Why is he still on the mountain so late at night?

"I, didn't I tell you sister that I came here to collect folk songs? Of course we are in the mountains now. Sister, let me tell you, it's cooler in the mountains than in Beijing and Hong Kong. The wind is blowing in the mountains." A look of panic flashed across Yuan Tianye's face, and then he started to talk to me, deliberately saying cool instead of cold.

I got anxious when I saw him like this, and couldn't help but urge him: "You are really fooling around! You know it's colder in the mountains, but you're still wandering around in the mountains in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by mountain insects and wild animals? Listen, hurry down the mountain and go back to the B&B to sleep!"

"Wow, sister, you scared me, I'm so scared..." Yuan Tianye seemed to be really frightened by what I said. His expression immediately became nervous and panicked, and he shrank his shoulders.

At this moment, I really regretted speaking too quickly. As a child who grew up in the countryside, I have been accustomed to the mountains and jungles since childhood. I don't feel afraid. Instead, I feel a sense of familiarity and intimacy with the mountains and jungles. But for a rich boy like Ono, mountains and jungles are a place of surprise. If he encounters any dangerous situation, he will definitely panic.

I scared him.

"Xiao Ye, it's okay. Find a branch and slowly walk down the mountain. I will accompany you from a distance. Tell me immediately if you encounter any situation..." I quickly comforted Yuan Tianye.

But the next moment, Yuan Tianye cried out with a bitter face: "Ouch!"

The camera on his side was shaking chaotically again.

"Xiao Ye!" I screamed in surprise.

The next second, Yuan Tianye's face appeared in the camera again, looking aggrieved: "Sister..."

"What happened to you? Did you fall?" I asked anxiously, my heart being gripped tightly by an invisible hand and raised high in my throat.

Xiao Ye was in an accident, and we don't know how serious it is. Medical treatment is not convenient in the mountains, and transportation is not convenient. It takes time to rush to the hospital outside. If the injury is delayed, then...

"I didn't fall, I just..." The grievance on Yuan Tianye's face slowly dissipated, but the corners of his lips curled up, "I want a kiss from my sister to comfort me."

"You!" My nervousness and panic froze at this moment, and my tense heart also resumed beating at this moment. I reacted immediately, frowned and yelled at him, "That's too much. It's already this time and you still have the mood to tease me, you little brat, you scared my soul away! I tell you, just wait, I'll beat you up when you come back!"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Don't be angry, sister. I promise that the first thing I will do when I get home is to wash myself clean and let you beat me, okay?" Yuan Tianye hurriedly apologized to me.

I finally calmed down, glared at him again, and snorted, "Okay, stop making trouble, and get down the mountain quickly."

"I'm already here. I'm staying in a guesthouse on the mountain tonight." Yuan Tianye quickly turned the camera of his phone to the place behind him, and then immediately pointed it at his face, smiling, "Don't worry, girlfriend, I'm your boyfriend, and I'm safe."

This little brat is so naughty.
