390. And January

In addition to the additional gifts from the Staff of the Divine Mansion and Wakaba, Shiraki also received the most regular reward for completing the quest - experience. Having been stagnant at level sixty-nine before, she finally stepped into the ranks of level seventy players. Now, the lowest level in the Blood Clan Mercenary Group is not because the task has dropped 10 levels of Bai Qi, but because of the Holy Soul Ling Tian, who has been delayed by the course for a lot of time during the day.

Right now, the Holy Soul Ling Tian's level was only sixty-eight. This level is relatively high among the vast majority of players, but in their small six-person mercenary group, they can only sweep the bottom of the last one.

It's just that it won't be long before the empty wheel and Liehua will take a long vacation. When the time comes, time or something will be completely in their own hands.

On this day, it was late at night. The mist and starlight had been hidden in the thick clouds for some time, and even the bright moon was nowhere to be seen. The sky is dark and dreary, and the wind is cold.

In the hall of the Bai family, Bai Qi sat on the red sofa, holding a big soft pillow in his arms, half of his cheeks were buried in the pillow, and only a pair of eyes like obsidian were revealed. Her long, supple black hair was draped behind her, creating a strong visual contrast with her light-colored clothes.

At this moment, it is not early. But Bai Lan was still in Bai Shi and did not go home. Even Murong Mo was helping the Bai family, which made Bai Qi feel inexplicably stunned. She looked sideways at the dark sky outside the window, the branches of the trees swaying in the cold wind. Bai Lan didn't come back so late, it really made her feel uneasy......

"Miss Xiaoqi." Suddenly, Aunt Su's voice came from behind her.

Bai Qi turned around and looked, Aunt Su had already helped Baili Linghuan to stand at the staircase on the second floor, "Aunt Su." She paused, and her eyes fell on Baili Linghuan's body, "Why hasn't Linghuan rested?" ”

"Can't sleep." Baili Lingwan was wearing plush warm pajamas. The beige pajamas are a little loose, and they always make people feel empty when they wear them on her thin body, "It just so happened that Aunt Su said that you were downstairs." ”

"Hmm. I want to wait for Sister Lan to come back. And...... The weather doesn't seem to be good tonight......" Bai Qi stood up, threw the pillow in his arms on the sofa and walked up the stairs.

Their conversation caught the attention of the Bai family's servants. It's just that when Bai Qi saw the servants coming this way, she waved her hand and motioned for them to go about their own business and leave them alone.

Bai Qi stepped forward and took Baili Linghuan's hand, and let her hold on to the handrail of the stairs and slowly descend. And Aunt Su, when Bai Qi stepped forward, retreated behind the two and looked at them quietly.

"I can't sleep."

When she went downstairs, Baili Lingwan said again. There wasn't much expression on her standard melon seed face. But her pale complexion and godless eyes made people feel pity, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"I know." Bai Qi replied with a smile, her "can't sleep" has been said a long time ago.

Baili Lingwan sat down on the sofa, and Bai Qi habitually sat beside her with a pillow. Directly opposite the two of them was a large LCD TV hanging on the wall, which was replaying the day's news. The official voice of the news anchor kept coming from the speakers.

When everyone present was silently paying attention to the content of the news on the TV, Baili Linghuan suddenly spoke, "Xiao Qi ......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Bai Qi turned his head to look at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"You and ......," she paused, a hint of hesitation between her words. Sister Lan's relationship is very good......"

Bai Qi smiled, "She's my sister." ”

Yes, it's my sister.

Even if Bai Lan is not related to her by blood. But in this world, Bai Lan is indeed Bai Qi's closest family. Today, Bai Lan is her only family, and she is also Bai Lan's only family. It doesn't matter if they are not related by blood, they have become family many years ago......

At that time, it was a family of four.

And now......

Only the two of them remained.

"I'm so envious." Wu, Baili Lingwan said.

Her chin was slightly raised, and if it weren't for Bai Qi's knowledge that she couldn't see, he would have the illusion that she was looking at the large chandelier on the roof. However. Those beautiful and charming Danfeng eyes didn't have half of their brilliance. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, she is like a poor shell that has been drained of her soul.

Her skin was already very white. And it's a paleness that borders on pathology. The ten fingers of Bai Qi are white and slender, but the ten fingers of Baili Lingwan can only be described as slender and long. Red couch. Dressed in beige pajamas, she looked so weak. Under the background of this strong and passionate color, she became more and more pale and fragile......

Bai Qi looked at Baili Lingwan's side face, and only felt that his heart seemed to be held by a hand, which was uncomfortable.

"Lingwan ......"

"Actually, I've had my mom and dad too. I look so much like my mother......" She suddenly turned her face to white, as if she were looking at her, as if she could see her.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, Baili Linghuan's words seemed to be a little wrong, and the information revealed by this sentence was also a little wrong. With doubts and worries in her eyes, she walked towards Aunt Su.

Who knows, Aunt Su didn't look at her at this time.

Aunt Su lowered her eyes and stood quietly a few steps away from the sofa. The quiet Aunt Su didn't react to the conversation between the two of them, as if she hadn't heard them at all. However, Bai Qi knew that Aunt Su heard it, and she heard it very clearly......

Slowly, Bai Qi withdrew the gaze that had just shrouded Aunt Su. Just now, she clearly saw Aunt Su clenching her hands in front of her.

"There are many families in Baili." Baili Lingwan's voice was still floating in the air, and she didn't say many words every time, slowly and seriously, "But I don't have a sister." ”

"Linghuan ......" Bai Qi's heart was a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but lean towards Baili Linghuan and held her somewhat cold hand.

However, Baili Lingwan hooked the corners of her mouth, and a faint smile actually appeared at the corners of her mouth. Such a weak and fragile beauty made Bai Qi unforgettable, and Baili Lingwan muttered, "Xiaoqi." ”

"Huh?"

"I'm ......," she paused, pursing her lips tightly, as if she had only released her voice after a mental struggle, "it's almost over." ”

"Ah, is it? When is your birthday, we will accompany you for your birthday. Bai Qi was puzzled by Baili Linghuan's hesitation, but he didn't show it on his face. She asked with a smile.

"February 15." Baili Lingwan said.

"Hmm...... One month to go......"

It's the middle of January, exactly one month before Baili Linghuan's birthday. (To be continued)

ps: Linghuan's story, how many can you guess.
