The raindrops shimmered in the night, dripping onto the hot shades of the street lamps, creating a psychedelic mist. Yu Nan's rainy night is exceptionally quiet, and occasionally I see a few figures hurrying by with umbrellas, most of whom are studious children who have just returned from self-study. A young girl cautiously walked through the rain, a pale blue umbrella resting diagonally on her shoulder, swaying regularly with her cadence. The girl's steps were fine, as if she was not used to the pair of sandals with a water platform on her feet, and after slowly passing the downhill in Xiping District, she breathed a sigh of relief, and tightened the sports jacket on her body with her free right hand, as if she was afraid that the wet and cold night wind would accidentally pour it into her neckline.

Suddenly, she stopped and noticed a black-clad figure hidden under a street tree on the opposite side of the ramp. The big black umbrella in the man's hand almost covered most of his body, and the large shadows cast by the dim street lamps made it impossible for ordinary people to observe.

"Didn't you say wait for me at the old place, it should be at the school gate, right?" Ling Qi walked over to the dark shadow, and a few ripples rippled around her sandals, slowly assimilating into the ripples stirred up by the raindrops at the edge of the stagnant water.

Fang Xiyuan raised the big umbrella back, revealing a full-body portrait of him wearing black casual clothes and carrying a cross-body bag: "It's raining and the road is slippery, there are still a few hundred meters to the school gate, I don't want you to go so far." ”

"Xishao's dress doesn't look like your style, what about your Cadillac?" Ling Qi rarely saw Fang Xiyuan dressed so "young", and smiled sarcastically. In fact, if she really wanted to drive the car to the crowded place in front of the dormitory building at this point, she didn't dare to sit on it, because it was too conspicuous.

As if guessing the girl's thoughts, Fang Xiyuan smiled: "It's too eye-catching, and you don't have to go out of school today, just walk." ”

"Isn't it raining and the road is slippery, and you're not afraid of falling when you walk?"

"I'm with you, so I'm not afraid of you slipping. ”

"I'm not a child, how can I be so stupid! Where are we going now?"

"Come with me. Fang Xiyuan walked in the direction of the school gate, but his pace was much slower than usual, so that Ling Qi could easily follow with small steps, and the two of them each held an umbrella to keep a distance of about one meter.

Ling Qi consciously lowered the height of the umbrella edge in front of her so that passers-by could not see her face. Naturally, she didn't want too many people in the school to know that she was walking with Xi Shao, and the college students with excess energy were the grandmasters who created rumors.

"You're not used to these shoes, aren't they, aren't they your shoes?" Fang Xiyuan discovered this detail from when the girl was going downhill, Ling Qi's small steps were very different from her usual masculine walking posture, but it inadvertently added a lot of ladylike temperament to her.

"It's mine, but I don't like it very much, I wear less. Ling Qi was perfunctory, staring down at the ground intently, for fear that she would make a fool of herself if she accidentally stepped on something and lost her center of gravity, there were really not many choices for her shoes in this weather.

Fang Xiyuan looked at Ling Qi's ladylike demeanor with interest, and the bewitching and wild appearance in the morning class appeared in her mind again, and she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth slightly—she didn't expect her to have such a side.

The school site in Yunan is only less than three kilometers away from the sea, and you can feel the unbridled atmosphere of the sea as soon as you reach the unobstructed school gate. Ling Qi couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously hugged his chest to resist the clammy and cold sea breeze. The daughter's family is naturally afraid of cold, but this girl who is a monk halfway away has no such consciousness, but she just replaced her hot pants during the day with half-length denim, and a cotton sports jacket over a small T-shirt. The temperature has dropped to about 20 degrees Celsius on a rainy night, and these thin clothes are obviously not enough.

"Is it cold? You're wearing too little. Fang Xiyuan took advantage of Ling Qi's distraction, holding a big umbrella in his left hand to block the top of the girl's head, and his right hand had already snatched her umbrella and put it into his bag, God knows how this kid could be so skilled in folding umbrellas with one hand.

"What are you doing?" Ling Qi found that the umbrella had been snatched, and his tone was a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, the faint anger between her eyebrows had not dissipated, and she felt an arm around her shoulder, and the whole person was attached to a warm chest. The girl struggled slightly, but there was an irresistible force in that arm.

"You, you let go, it's so weird!" Ling Qi's inconsistent state of body and mind reappeared, just like the last time she fell into Lin Fan's arms, she blushed a little nervously.

"What's so strange, it shouldn't be cold like this, right?" Fang Xiyuan's face was three points scoundrel and seven points of concern, and his hands tightened again, "The two umbrellas are too troublesome, the water on the side of your umbrella is dripping onto my sleeve! Remember to wear more next time, it won't be fun to catch a cold." ”

Hearing Fang Xiyuan's words, the uneasy mood in Ling Qi's heart slowly calmed down, she glanced at Fang Xiyuan, and simply hugged her hands in front of her chest and was happy. Actually, this person's body is really warm...... The two of them walked slowly in the cold wind and drizzle, occasionally students passing by on bicycles, and Fang Xiyuan would be very cautious in front of Ling Qi, for fear that some disobedient stagnant water would splash over.

Since joining the SWAT team, he has been accustomed to that kind of horse fighting career, and now that he is reborn as a woman, he still can't live in peace, it is rare to have the opportunity to enjoy such a short period of peace, so why bother about anything? Ling Qi looked at Fang Xiyuan's side face, and the corners of her mouth raised a relaxed smile, she was indeed a little tired.

Ten minutes later, the two came to a relatively remote high-rise building of the school, although there were no other buildings around, the decoration of the open space below the building was not ambiguous at all, Ling Qi keenly found that the Cadillac was parked in the parking lot next to the building. Fang Xiyuan took out the sensor key and brushed open the electronic security door, and took Ling Qi to the elevator.

"Could this be the legendary International College VIP Building?" asked the girl leaning against the stainless steel wall of the elevator as the red numbers in the elevator grew.

Fang Xiyuan's eyebrows raised slightly: "What, have you been here?"

Ling Qi glanced at the key with the cross ornament in Fang Xiyuan's hand, and said lightly: "No, I have heard that in addition to the Yunan Hotel, which has a very high fee, there are only such accommodation conditions here. But isn't this for overseas Chinese students from the International College, how did you get involved?"

"Oh, there's money here. In addition, I am also half Chinese, and my grandmother is an American. The elevator door opened, and Fang Xiyuan walked out first to open his dormitory door.

"Snort, fake foreign devil!" Ling Qi sneered quietly and followed.

In good conscience, the conditions of this dormitory are indeed a bit extravagant for college students. Ling Qi looked around left and right, and asked casually, "How much do you want for accommodation this year?"

"About five times as many as you. Fang Xiyuan replied absentmindedly, concentrating on something on the bar, the automatic electric kettle filled with water had been put on the base and started heating, "You sit and watch TV first, I'll prepare some hot drinks for you." ”

It's amazing to be rich!" Ling Qi sneered, leaning back comfortably on the sofa, staring at Fang Xiyuan's movements, but he didn't mean to get the TV remote control. Maybe...... It's time for the brief moment of relaxation to come to an end.

By the time Fang Xiyuan came over with two cups of steaming things, Ling Qi's expression had already returned to seriousness: "What did you mean by what you said on the phone in the morning? We should have said to Lao Dao to you when we went to Chaowei Emperor for dinner, but how do you know about going to Cangyuan earlier?"

"Don't worry, drink some warmth first. With a smile that was not shocked, Fang Xiyuan handed Ling Qi a hot drink. The girl picked it up and sniffed it, and pursed her lips secretly: Hot chocolate? Why did this guy get such a mother's drink for me? Forget it, it's not this daughter's trouble, he shouldn't put anything in it, but he monitored his movements all the time, and he didn't have a chance to put it if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Ling Qi took a shallow sip with confidence, and the chocolate with just the right temperature quickly spread a warmth to her whole body, and the girl felt that her whole person was comfortable.

Fang Xiyuan nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of coffee, and said slowly: "I also know Wang Bin from Bole Talent Network, people are more interested in Tao Liqi, and by the way, I just told me about you." I really admire your courage to run to the lair of the Qingyan Society with such a big grudge. ”

Ling Qi was speechless for a while, and then said a little helplessly, "How would I know that Cangyuan and Qingyan would have a relationship, and I didn't expect Chen Qi to be the vice president of Cangyuan, no wonder this group of companies has such a strong strength, it turns out that the black and white roads have backers." At this point, her eyes widened suddenly, and she remembered the conversation her parents had with her father outside the hotel when they came to see her......

Wouldn't my father be involved in the whirlpool of the Qingyan Society? But it is impossible for me to remind him directly, don't say that he doesn't believe it, and even if he does, he will expose his secrets, how is this good? Ling Qi struggled to think for a long time, but realized in frustration that even if he knew the inside story, he was powerless to change the general trend, and his personal ability was too small in front of the Qingyan Society.

Fang Xiyuan was a little inexplicable when he saw Ling Qi's flickering expression, but he still continued: "Chen Qi uses a fake name in the officially registered board of directors, so don't try to dig out his movements through the media. However, compared with Chen Qi, there is another person who needs our attention more. ”

Ling Qi heard the key point, quickly sorted out his emotions, and stared at Fang Xiyuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, which made the man avoid her gaze a little unnaturally: "Cangyuan's current nominal chairman is called Lin Cangxi, and he is a guy who is good at walking the white road, although his power in the Qingyan Society is not as good as Chen Qi, but the level of Zhiji's conspiracy will only be above Chen Qi." I don't have reliable information, but based on the situation, it's likely that he went to your father first. ”

"My dad, eighty percent is for Jiu'an's industrial zone!" Lin Cangxi's purpose for looking for Ling Long was actually easy to guess, but Ling Qi couldn't help but say it out loud.

"I wish he was just for that industrial zone...... Pray, believe me, don't try to dig up too much of the truth, or you'll lose more than just your life. Fang Xiyuan took another sip of coffee, and the black liquid without any milk sugar was very bitter in the mouth, just like the future they couldn't predict.
