Chapter 13: Love Liars
As the agreed time approached more and more, Li Yao seemed more and more uneasy, she kept walking around for a while, and then pulled Jin Ying to ask why Ji Ao hadn't come yet, she kept complaining: "Isn't that Han Zhu your good buddy? How could you not know anything." ”
"Ji Ao is a bit inscrutable, but he is very reliable, don't worry. ”
"Really, can that guy be reliable? I think you're more honest. Li Yao was skeptical.
"Don't judge people by their appearance, only humans can be so stupid. ”
"That's right. Don't you think I'm more of a person than a youkai?"
"Well, a little bit. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I grew up among humans, and when I was born, the mountains and forests of my hometown were developed into tourist areas. My mother has always brought me to live among humans, and my mother passed away last year, and I am the only youkai left. When she spoke of her mother, there were tears in her eyes.
"I thought, anyway, I'm going to live with humans in the future, so let's just move to a big city and see the world by the way. And then I came here, and sometimes I couldn't tell if I was a human or a youkai, because I had lived with humans for too long. She said thoughtfully.
"If you marry a human, it's more like a human being. ”
"I'll send you an invitation then. Li Yao's face was stained with a layer of red, and she fiddled with the cup shyly.
"Ji Ao!" Jin Ying gently touched Li Yao with her elbow and pointed to her to see someone.
I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who walked in with no one in his eyes, sitting in front of the bar, holding a very heavy box in his hand, placed it in front of him, he casually ordered a glass of wine, and looked around, as if waiting for someone. Li Yao, who was reminded by Jin Ying, immediately recognized this person as Ji Aobian.
Jin Ying grabbed Li Yao, who wanted to rush over, and whispered, "Wait! ”
Ji Ao sat for a while, and a man hurried in from outside, looked around, and sat down next to him. He whispered a few words to Ji Ao, not knowing what to hand over, after Ji Ao looked at it, he pushed the box over to him, the man opened the box and glanced at it, stretched out his hand and shook it with Ji Ao, and walked away.
Li Yao nervously held Jin Ying's hand: "It's him, it's him!
"Take it, give it to you. Ji Ao still sat there, slowly finishing the drink, watching the man walk out of the nightclub, then got up and paced towards them. He pushed the thing he had just given him in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao opened the cloth bag in confusion, only to see an antique jade bracelet revealed inside. The jade quality of the jade bracelet is very good, and the Seiko carves a divine beast with a dragon head and phoenix tail that is half hidden in the clouds and mist, even the golden firefly who does not understand the market can see that this is an old and priceless antique.
"It's mine!How can it be in your hands?" Li Yao screamed.
Jin Ying vaguely remembered that just yesterday, Li Yao was still wearing such a bracelet on her wrist.
Ji Ao hugged his arms, leaned back on the sofa and said, "This is what I bought for 1.8 million yuan just now." How could it be yours?"
"This is clearly a relic that my mother left me when she was dying, and I gave it to him...... Give it to him as a token of engagement! Say! How did you trick it?"
"Didn't I say that I bought it, you can look at this again. Ji Ao took out a leather bag from his pocket and handed it to her.
"This is the one he lost the other day, he was sad when he lost it, and I just gave him the other one yesterday. How did they end up with you? How did you steal them?" Li Yao tore open the leather bag in a frenzy, and placed another bracelet inside.
Whether it is from its jade quality or carving, this and the one on the table is obviously a pair, this bracelet is skillfully carved with a phoenix head and dragon tail of the beast, the two bracelets put together, just synthesized a dragon and a phoenix "∞" flying shape, very delicate and chic.
Ji Ao retracted the smile that always hung on his face, and pointed to the first bracelet solemnly and said, "This one you obviously saw with your own eyes just now that I bought it from that person." This one ......"
He pointed to another bracelet: "I stole it from an antique smuggler's safe - I am now his appearance." He bought it for 900,000. As for what is going on, even if I say it, you may not believe it, so come with me at once, and I will let the man tell you personally. ”
After speaking, he got up and took Li Yao's hand and left the nightclub, Li Yao was pulled out of the nightclub by Ji Ao in a trance, Jin Ying put away the two bracelets, with a gloomy face, without saying a word, silently following behind them.
Jin Ying drove the car all the way according to the address mentioned by Ji Ao, there was silence in the car, Li Yao sat alone in the back seat of the car, biting her nails, and recalled the situation when she handed her boyfriend's bracelet twice.
That night, after the two watched the movie, he sent Li Yao back to her door, suddenly took out a ring, and stammered to propose to him, although it was just an ordinary ring, the words he stammered when he proposed had nothing to do with romance, but Li Yao was still moved to cry, she forced herself to remain silent for a few minutes, and she couldn't help but agree to him.
Later, he put a ring on Li Yao, and Li Yao also gave him one of the two bracelets, a relic left by her mother.
"I'll keep it with me, so that no matter what happens, it's as if Li Yao is right next to me. As he spoke, he carefully wrapped the bracelet in his handkerchief and put it in his pocket.
At yesterday's reunion, he said dejectedly that he had accidentally lost his bracelet while he was on a mission, and he said with a guilty face: "How is that possible? I have always carried it with me and put it in my pocket! It was when the prisoner shot me...... Why is everything else there. But only the bracelet is gone? It's like ...... It's like losing Li Yao...... It's like all of a sudden you don't want me!"
"So even if there is a danger of exposure, I still have to come to see you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep, I won't be able to eat, even in this case, my mind is your face. He said and squeezed her hand affectionately.
"It doesn't matter. Although it is a relic left to me by my mother, it is all gone now, and there is another one, come, to you, but if you lose it again, I will not talk to you for a week. ”
"Got it! He hugged her affectionately.
"Haha, look at your nervous appearance......" Li Yao was very happy at this time.
"How did it fall into Ji Ao's hands? But what happened just now, I can clearly see it. Was it really bought by Ji Ao? Why?" her mind was in a mess at this time, and she couldn't figure out a clue.
Jin Ying stretched out her hand and gently patted her shoulder to comfort: "It's here." ”
The car stopped under a residential building, and Ji Ao pointed to the fourth floor, where the lights were on.
Li Yao asked puzzledly, "There, why is he there?"
"You'll know when you go," Ji Ao had a gloomy face and flicked his fingers, "Do you know how to do stealth?"
Li Yao shook her head, and Jin Ying quickly drew a spell on her back, and then flew to the fourth floor with this spell herself.
Ji Ao hugged Li Yao and flew to the bright window on the fourth floor, and the three of them looked into the room through the gap in the closed Baiyang window, this is an ordinary three-bedroom and one-hall residence, the living room is brightly lit, a pair of young men and women are sitting on the sofa with each other, and an open suitcase is placed on the coffee table in front of them, which is full of money.
"That's him...... That woman, that woman ......" Li Yao only felt that her legs were trembling, her body was constantly trembling, and she grabbed Jin Ying's clothes tightly with both hands.
Ji Ao put his index finger to his mouth to signal her to be silent, then wrapped his arm around her and led her through the wall into the room, while Jin Hotaru turned into a shadow and floated in through the window.
Unbeknownst to the humans in the room, there were already three youkai standing in front of them, and the two were complacently chatting and chatting.
