Chapter Twenty-Five
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door rang twice in a row, and Zheng Jiayi woke up from her sleep in a daze.
Actually asleep? Zheng Jiayi patted her head and sat up from the bed. Instinctively, he glanced towards the window. Zhou Jian: They haven't come back yet.
"Knock knock!"
It's the sound of a knock on the door.
"Who?" Zheng Jiayi sat on the bed and shouted at the door.
"Knock knock!" No one responded, only an unrelenting knock on the door.
"It's coming!" Zheng Jiayi didn't suspect that there was a problem, so she got out of bed and put on her shoes and ran to open the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Zheng Jiayi opened the door and saw an unknown girl in front of her, so she blocked the door and didn't plan to let her in.
"Are you Zheng Jiayi?" The girls get straight to the point. Although he asked so, as if he was sure that the person in front of him was Zheng Jiayi, he took out a jade bracelet from his pocket. continued: "Lu Huituo, I will bring you a letter. This is a token. She said you'll recognize it. β
Zheng Jiayi let go of the hand resting on the door and took the jade bracelet. This bracelet is indeed very similar to the one on Lu Hui's hand. In the past, she joked about Lu Hui because of this jade bracelet, saying that only middle-aged women would wear jade bracelets.
"Lu Hui has a jade bracelet. But the jade bracelets all look the same. How do I know if it's Lu Hui's? Zheng Jiayi fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand and carefully distinguished. In fact, the jade bracelet in Lu Hui's hand is full of emerald, even a layman like Zheng Jiayi knows that the bracelet is worth a lot of money, and I heard Lu Hui say that it is their family's ancestral. And the bracelet on her hand is also full of emerald, and at this moment, Zheng Jiayi's heart is already believing it.
The girl was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for Zheng Jiayi's judgment.
"You said Lu Hui had a message. What is that message? Zheng Jiayi felt that it didn't matter if it was true or not. It doesn't hurt to listen to it.
"You've got to take me with you. I just told you! The girl's voice was unhurried, not sad or joyful, and there was irresistible strength in the plainness.
Negotiate conditions? Zheng Jiayi instinctively frowned, she hated being threatened the most.
"Since you said that this is Lu Hui's, then I will accept it for her. Nothing else I'm going to rest. Zheng Jiayi said and put away the jade bracelet and prepared to close the door.
"Her message is that she is in trouble and wants you to go to her." The girl was not frightened by Zheng Jiayi's actions, and was still standing at the door of Zheng Jiayi's room, talking unhurriedly.
Zheng Jiayi's hand that was closing the door paused. Glancing up at the girl, he asked, "Where to find her?" Isn't she with her sister? β
"That's why you're taking me with you. I can take you to her. The girl said and stretched out her right hand and introduced herself, "My name is Qi Min." β
"Nie Min?" Zheng Jiayi felt that she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated.
"It's also one less word. Whatever, just call me Min Min. The girl wanted to explain, but gave up. After all, what it's called isn't the point.
Zheng Jiayi nodded suspiciously, although it doesn't matter if she brings one more person. However, the girl in front of her has a lot of suspicions. Lu Hui and Zhou Jian said separately that Lu Hui was taken away by Lu Sui, and there was no long interval in between. If Lu Hui had the opportunity to explain something to Qi Min, why didn't she turn back and come to her.
Qi Min looked at Zheng Jiayi intently, with her ability, Zheng Jiayi's mind she had already seen through. Said lightly: "Your friend will be back soon." You get busy first. The first room on the third floor of Villa Five. I'll wait for you. β
"Hey. Don't go. "Don't wait for Zheng Jiayi to see Qi Min leave. The stiff sound of birds wafted from the window.
Three black lines appeared on Zheng Jiayi's forehead. With such a fake bird call, there is only Zhou Jian. There is no way, I have to let Zhou Jian and them come up first, so I can only let Qi Min go like this.
Zheng Jiayi quickly walked to the window, picked up the sheets on the ground, and threw them out. Then grasp the end tied to the windowsill with both hands to prevent any episodes from happening because it is not tied tightly enough.
"Hey!" The first one to come up was Luo Yang.
Zheng Jiayi has seen a lot of prodigal sons, and Luo Yang is one of them. Zheng Jiayi was too lazy to take care of him, and habitually gave away a white eye. Luo Yang didn't care, and still jumped off the windowsill with an evil smile, leaving a vacant seat for the next person.
The last one to come up was Zhou Jian.
Zheng Jiayi put the sheets back up and untied the corners tied to the windowsill. Although the sheet is unusable, it should not float outside with it. You can't let it get in the way of closing the windows.
"Jiayi. Has anyone just been here? Zhou Jian's cousin was very vigilant.
"That's right." Zheng Jiayi was startled, threw the untied sheet on the ground, looked at Zhou Jian curiously and asked, "How do you know?" β
"Just smell it!" Luo Yang interjected.
Zheng Jiayi pursed her lips and glanced at Luo Yang, indicating that she was not talking to him.
Zhou Jian looked slightly flustered, but quickly sorted out his expression and said, "Oh." I saw the door open. Remember that it wasn't closed when you left. β
"Oh. That's right. Yes, there was a girl who somehow ran to come with us. Zheng Jiayi also casually told three points of truth and seven points of falsehood.
Zhou Jian's expression changed and changed, and in the end he still didn't speak.
"I didn't promise her, though." Zheng Jiayi saw that Zhou Jian looked embarrassed, so she hurriedly added, but after thinking about it, the girl named Qi Min said that she knew where Lu Hui was. I could only bite the bullet and continue: "However, I didn't refuse her. β
Luo Yang and another boy both looked at Zhou Jian. Zhou Jian frowned and hesitated, and said to Zheng Jiayi: "You decide for yourself." β
Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders and dropped a sentence: "Let's go." Then he turned and stepped out the door.
"Let's go first. It's up to you! Zhou Jian's voice was soft. After saying that, he followed out of the room.
Zheng Jiayi was in place, she always liked to make her own ideas, but she also hoped that someone could give some advice when it was critical. Now not only is there no one to give advice, but there are no people to talk to.
"Wait a minute!" Zheng Jiayi grabbed the door key, closed the door and chased out.
Although Zheng Jiayi's voice was heard, only Zhou Jian stopped halfway and waited for her.
"Wait a minute. The girl was in Villa 5. You can go the same way. Zheng Jiayi was a little gasped, and after chasing Zhou Jian, she finally didn't have to run.
Zhou Jian searched in his mind for people he might know, but to no avail. So silent.
No one spoke along the way, it was too quiet. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zheng Jiayi endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help asking, "If I promise to take her, will it cause you trouble?" β
Zhou Jian glanced at Zheng Jiayi sideways, and said with a shallow smile: "It's okay, plus she is just two girls." β
Zheng Jiayi was a little grateful. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull an arc. In her heart, she felt that Zhou Jian was still quite good.
"Can I promise her, then?" Zheng Jiayi spoke again to be sure.
"I've said it, it's up to you to decide!" Under the sun, Zhou Jian's voice was particularly gentle.
Zheng Jiayi smiled gratefully at Zhou Jian and stopped at the door of Villa No. 5. said, "Okay, I'll decide for myself." Is it still the old time and the old place tomorrow night? β
"Wait for my message. Will tell you in advance! Zhou Jian said and nodded at Zheng Jiayi.
Zheng Jiayi also nodded, and then the two of them each walked in two different directions.
"First floor!"
"Second floor!"
"Third floor!"
Zheng Jiayi counted every time she climbed a floor. Soon to the third floor. Then there was a knock on the door of the first room.
"Anyone?" Zheng Jiayi knocked on the door twice and continued: "I am Zheng Jiayi. β
"Nie"
Zheng Jiayi was just about to knock on the third sound. And the door opened. Qi Min poked his head out and threw out a not very polite sentence: "It's Qi Min, call me Min Minxing." The Min of one door and one text. β
"Oh. Nie Min. Zheng Jiayi's language is not very good, she never knew that it should be that nie. You can only repeat the pronunciation of δΉι΅.
Qi Min knew that Zheng Jiayi didn't really know what her surname was, so she explained again: "Maybe I will also remove a vertical and read it." β
Zheng Jiayi's brain followed Qi Min's words and spun quickly, and then instantly twisted into a twist. Is there such a word in the world? Zheng Jiayi shook her head helplessly in her heart, how could a person like herself who is a person with a comprehensive death hole in language, mathematics, foreign, reason, and chemistry know such a remote and unpopular word.
"Close the door and come in and sit." Qi Min is really casual, and she looks more like a girl who grew up in a greenhouse. With its own angelic light, a fair face is both beautiful and childlike.
Zheng Jiayi obediently followed Qi Min into the door and closed the door. Then he stood by the door and looked at him.
"Just sit down." Qi Min sat down facing Zheng Jiayi.
Zheng Jiayi glanced around and sat down not far from Qi Min. Face to face.
"Is it decided?" Qi Min went straight in.
Zheng Jiayi looked carefully at the girl named Min in front of her. Although he is small, his face is only the size of a palm. Looks like a child. However, Zheng Jiayi instinctively felt that this Qi Min was not very young.
Qi Min didn't mind Zheng Jiayi staring at her like this. just looked back generously, and waited patiently for Zheng Jiayi's answer.
"My friend said I could decide for myself. And even if I really bring you, it's just two girls. It shouldn't be a big problem. Zheng Jiayi did not directly answer whether she agreed or disagreed.
Qi Min didn't answer, but continued to look at Zheng Jiayi.
"Even if there are no conditions, I can take you and anyone with me. However, since you mentioned the conditions first. I have to make a condition so that's fair. Zheng Jiayi also had the heart to negotiate.
"Fair enough. Go on! Qi Min remained silent.
"There is no evidence. You've got to convince me to believe you. Zheng Jiayi was still skeptical of Qi Min's words, and it could even be said that if it weren't for worrying about Lu Hui, she wouldn't believe it at all.
"Bring Lu Hui's bracelet with you." Qi Min's words were like orders.
Zheng Jiayi didn't want to resist at all, so she took out the jade bracelet from her pocket like a marionette and quickly put it on her left hand.
Qi Min stood up suddenly, and before Zheng Jiayi could react, he had already walked in front of Zheng Jiayi, which was too fast, and Zheng Jiayi felt that she didn't see it clearly.
Qi Min grabbed Zheng Jiayi's hand.
Suddenly, Zheng Jiayi's eyes were dazzled, and she quickly broke free from Qi Min's hand. Even so, Zheng Jiayi clearly remembered that the moment her hands touched Qi Min, she seemed to see Lu Hui.
Zheng Jiayi instinctively bounced up from the stool and wanted to retreat, but there was no way to retreat. She felt like she must have been dazzled. Or hallucinations.
Qi Min didn't let Zheng Jiayi break free, she grabbed Zheng Jiayi's hand again, this time, no matter if Zheng Jiayi struggled, she couldn't break free of Qi Min's hands.
"Lu Hui?" Zheng Jiayi looked ahead with dull eyes. He muttered Lu Hui's name. She saw Lu Hui talking to her. But she couldn't hear what she was saying.
The illusion vanished suddenly. Zheng Jiayi came back to her senses. He had returned to his seat.
Zheng Jiayi looked at Qi Min in front of her in horror. took off Lu Hui's bracelet in three or two clicks, if this bracelet wasn't Lu Hui's, she would probably have broken it to pieces.
"I didn't lie to you." There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Qi Min's mouth, and his tone was cold, but there was no malice: "Is there a decision now?" β
Zheng Jiayi's breathing was a little short, and she had to have something to do with the woman in front of her. However, Lu Hui's appearance in the illusion is indeed very bad. It's like a call for help. Her heart tugged at once. After much entanglement, he nodded and agreed: "I'll take you with me." You're going to take me to find Lu Hui! β
