206. Gifts
Walk through the hallway of the villa and in front of you is a dark pond in the night. The emerald green lotus leaves curled up slightly in the shadow of the night, close to each other. It has a different kind of elegant and dignified, soft and bright, and the real "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving". The chic dust that is not tempted by the wind and dust, the clear Peugeot and charm, I don't know how many people who love Ho are fascinated.
Mu Wen looked at the lotus pond quietly, and Bai Qi stood beside him. One left and one right, one arm's length apart. The common silence seems to be unbearable to break the beauty of tranquility. The shadows of the two, stretched by the light behind them, fell into the lotus pond, spreading on the surface of the pond, entangled with the shadow of the lotus.
Silence, for a long time.
"Xiaoqi, your sick ......"
"It's okay, it's fine." The faint voice, the flat tone, as if the heart-rending pain at the onset of the illness, she had never experienced.
The gentle footsteps behind him gradually became clear.
Bai raised her eyes and stood up, the night breeze blowing on her bare shoulders, a little cold. Mu Wen sighed and disappeared in the night wind.
Mu Jingliang stood behind the two, his gaze fell on Bai Qi's body, and his brows furrowed slightly. Disease, what disease did Bai Qi suffer, and his father, who was very successful in the medical field, was also like this......
"What about those friends of yours?" Mu Wen turned around and looked at his son, wondering why he had come so quickly.
Mu Jingliang took off his white coat and replied indifferently, "It's you who are too slow." He didn't need to say anything, he knew what his father was trying to say.
Perhaps, this is a tacit understanding between father and son......
"......" Mu Wen is embarrassed, why does his son always not save a little face for himself as a father? Without waiting for Mu Wen to think about it, Mu Jingliang took a few steps forward, walked behind Bai Qi, and put the coat he had just taken off on her shoulder.
Only then did Bai Qi raise his head, and he saw Mu Jingliang's eyes that were completely different from An Luolei's, and the warm sunshine that never disappeared in a person's eyes. In the other's eyes is ice that never melts.
"Thank you."
"Hmm." Mu Jing bowed his head coldly, and his eyes moved to Mu Wen, "Dad, continue to blow the wind here?" ”
"Ahem." Mu Wen was dumbfounded, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, don't blow the wind." As he spoke, his gaze turned to Bai Qi, "Old Man Luo knows that I am returning to China this time, so he specially asked me to bring something to you." ”
Mu Wen slowly found a small brown plush box in the pocket of the clothes. He walked over to Bai Qi and opened the box. Inside the box is a pure black bracelet with a transparent color. Bai Qi blinked, and happily took out the bracelet. Only then did I find that there was a silver word on the inside of the bracelet - Ann.
"What is this?" Mu Jingliang frowned and raised his eyes to look at his father. Mu Wen shook his head at him lightly, signaling him not to say anything.
"Uncle Wen, this bracelet ......" Bai Qi carefully looked at the warm black, and the touch on his fingers gradually warmed strangely.
Mu Wen smiled and took the bracelet from Bai Qi's hand. Personally put it on her left hand for her, "Old Man Luo hopes you are safe." I hope you can go back and see him once in a while...... Although Luo Ge's child has been with Old Man Luo, he can't miss you. ”
"Hmm!" Bai Qi lightly grasped the bracelet on his wrist with his right hand, smiled and bent his eyes, and nodded seriously, "I know." I miss Grandpa Luo too. Uncle Wen will help me ask if it's okay when I go back? ”
"Of course." While speaking, Mu Wen paused and looked at Mu Jingliang, "Today is the biggest Jingliang." You can go into the villa and rest for a while, and I'll go to the front and have a look. ”
In front, naturally, is the ballroom.
Mu Wen turned to leave, and the click of his shoes touching the ground gradually moved away. He didn't know what Mu Jingliang wanted in his heart, but this kid came to them. But he didn't have anything to say to himself. It's already like this, how can he, a father, still not understand. Mu Jingliang has something to say, but the object is not herself, but the girl of the Bai family.
Under the gentle moonlight, the icebergs under the man's eyes seemed to become softer.
It's just that for a moment, Bai Qi thought it was his own illusion, and then fixed his eyes and looked at it, it was not an illusion. In his eyes when he looked at her, the iceberg seemed to have melted in the warm sun, and although there was a slight chill remaining, it was no longer sharp and cold.
"You ......"
"Let's go inside, it's cold outside." As he spoke, he took a few steps back and opened the glass door behind him, frosted, filled with the bright light in the villa, warming people's air.
The two sat on the sofa on the first floor of the villa, Bai Qi had already taken off Mu Jingliang's coat and put it beside him, and then smiled with both eyes, "Mu Jingliang, happy birthday." ”
was stunned, and then, Mu Jingliang slowly stopped his gaze on Bai Qi's delicate cheeks, and his thin lips had an upward arc, "No gifts?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Perhaps it was the close and distant relationship between Bai Qi and Mu Jingliang that made her not notice that the iceberg-like person had been repeatedly abnormal in front of her today.
"Shangqin, it's the golden equipment I hit, it's the piano master." She continued.
Mu Jingliang lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes were not sparse or dense, nor were they upturned, clear and cold, just like his personality.
That day, until Bai Qi returned home, he would not understand Mu Jingliang's entanglement. Others hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to give Mu Jingliang valuable things and even treasures, but he didn't care at all. What can make him care a little is not what he is sending in reality. At this moment, they will not know. A long, long time later, when Mu Jingliang's level could no longer use Shangqin to exert his ability, Shangqin, who should have become a scrap, was left by him forever.
Then came the start of school. Bai Qi and Yu Baobao both transferred in this semester, and the rest of their classes have not changed much. The rest of the people here, of course, are the ones they know.
As a result of the class assignment, Bai Qi was really in class X, and Yu Baobao was placed in class B. On the day before the opening ceremony, Yu Baobao was very excited to tell Bai Qi about the game, and when she got into the game, she remembered that Xiao Qi was still in the dark desert, where could she see it? !
Bai Qi and Yaji had already entered Night City the day before, and today they appeared in the game and appeared directly in a garden. The surroundings are wide, the fragrance of flowers lingers, and the pale flowers gently shake in the wind......
"You're here, Miss Xiaoqi." Soft voice, docile and polite.
"Guhe?" Bai Qi was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
There was a faint smile on Gu He's delicate and lovely face, "His Royal Highness Yeji is discussing some matters with his brother, and asked Gu He to wait for Miss Xiaoqi here." ”
Hearing this, Bai lowered his eyes and said nothing, and the bangs on his forehead cast a black shadow on the windows of his soul, making it impossible for people to see her eyes and her heart.
"Miss Xiaoqi? What happened to you? ”
Bai Qi took a deep breath and smiled, "It's nothing. ”
Isn't it nothing......
The uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious, like a pair of hands, pinching her heart. Since coming to the Dark Desert, Yaji has been appearing more and more frequently in the game when she's not online, and doing what he wants to do. However, in the castle, unless the owner is online, the pet is left in the pet space by default......
A qiē seems to be out of the reins. Bai Qi had a feeling that he couldn't control what was going on...... Seemingly, it's not a good feeling......
Summoning the night silicone, Bai Qi followed Gu He out of the Gu family's garden and came to the main hall, the empty main hall.
"Huh? His Highness and my brother are not here? Gu He stepped forward, revealing a sickly face, and his lips pursed.
Bai Qi sighed and patted Gu He's shoulder, "I don't have to find the rabbit, Gu He, can I ask you a question?" ”
Gu He looked puzzled, but before Bai Qi could speak, she quickly lowered her head again, "Miss Xiaoqi, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Qi was stunned, and smiled helplessly, "Why are you so cautious about me, I'm afraid that my skills are not as fast as yours?" Am I too terrible? ”
"Huh?" Gu He looked up, her mouth slightly open in surprise, she shook her head, and hurriedly explained, "No, isn't it...... Miss Xiaoqi is very beautiful and not scary. Just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that you are the master of His Royal Highness Yeji after all, how can I ......" Gu He Zhang Huang wandered his gaze, but he didn't dare to just get white.
"I never felt like he was my pet, so you don't have to be pressured by how high I am. Honestly, my identity in the Dark Desert is not as good as yours, Guhe. ”
"Huh? But how can you ......?"
Looking at Gu He's appearance, Bai Qi was a little speechless, and he didn't understand how he could make a person panic like this. She raised her hand and touched Xiao Zheng's soft hair standing beside her, "Also, don't always call me Miss Xiaoqi, please call me Xiaoqi, okay?" With that, those dark red eyes stared at Gu He without blinking.
"Uh...... Good...... Good ......"
"What else did you want to ask me that day? The day you recognized me as the Inheritor of Bounty Hunters. Suddenly, Bai Qi asked.
When Gu He heard this, he was stunned in place, and held his hands uneasily, "Little start...... Ah, little ......"
Bai looked sideways, and there was a faint laziness in his deep eyes, which made Gu He stunned for a while, "Huh? Guhe, what's wrong with you? ”
Gu He came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Xiaoqi, do you know that sometimes your demeanor is very similar to His Royal Highness Yesi, really." ”
"Really?" Similar to it? Bai Qi silently hooked the corners of his mouth.
"You...... Do you know Cangshuo? Gu He asked cautiously. And this sentence also made the person opposite her raise her eyes in surprise, and her dark red eyes opened round.
Gu He continued, "Look at your reaction, is it an acquaintance? ”
Baitou put away his surprised expression, "Yes, he is my master." ”
"So, he's dead, isn't he?" Gu He was frightened, his face turned even paler, and he said with a wry smile.
