"Third sister." Yi Qi Mancao called softly, Yi Qi Wanxi looked at her from the mirror and asked her what was wrong, but she said, "It's nothing." ”

The night of the concession is very prosperous. The light and the moonlight competed, but they still won.

Mochizuki's birthday party is set in his mansion in Shanghai, saying that it is a birthday party, except for the atmosphere, but it feels no different from an ordinary ball. The mansion is not very luxurious, but the area is large enough. Xu is because of his special identity, the security is very tight. Most of the people who entered were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there were also people in military uniforms.

Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mancao followed Yi Qi Mingzhi and Wang into the back garden of the mansion, Mochizuki was dressed in a navy blue kimono, receiving everyone's blessings in the crowd, raising his eyes to see Yi Qi Mingzhi and his party, dealing with the group, hurriedly walked to Yi Qi Mingzhi, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yi Qi." Yi Qi Mingzhi smiled and nodded his head, "Jijun, happy birthday." Mochizuki Ji said "Thank you", then looked at the Wang family who was wearing a navy blue brocade cheongsam next to Yi Qi Mingzhi, and said, "It's an honor for you to come here with a face, madam." ”

Wang bent down lightly and said, "Our lord is in Japan for your care, and I naturally want to come to congratulate you on your birthday."

Mochizuki laughed twice and said, "You're welcome, I will ask Uncle Yiqi and Mrs. Yi Qi to take care of me in Shanghai in the future."

"It should." Yi Qi Ming Zhi said. Yi Qi Mingzhi spoke, and Wang didn't say anything, just smiled.

Mochizuki then looked at Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Vine behind Yi Qi Mingzhi, and said, "Good evening."

Yi Qi Mancao replied, "Happy birthday, Mr. Mochizuki." ”

Mochizuki replied with a light smile, "Thank you." Then he stopped his gaze on Yi Qi Wanxi, his eyes flashed with joy, his tone was soft and gentle, and said, "Wanxi? Long time no see. ”

"Long time no see." Yi Qi met his gaze and said with a light smile, "Mr. Mochizuki." Happy birthday. ”

Mochizuki's smile stiffened for a second, he didn't like her to call him like this, he felt very angry, although they were not familiar with Yi Qi Wanxi, but to him, Yi Qi Wanxi was a name he was very familiar with.

"Thank you." Mochizuki said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're more beautiful." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi just smiled lightly: "Thank you."

Although Yi Qi's attitude was not indifferent, it was very perfunctory. Mochizuki didn't know that it was her usual attitude towards people she didn't know, very polite, but also very cold.

Mochizuki looked at Yi Qi Wanxi for another two seconds, then turned around and raised his hand and said, "Please."

The three women saluted lightly, and Yi Qi Mingzhi only bowed lightly, and then walked inside together.

After entering the scene, Wang followed Yi Qi Mingzhi and talked to people. Yi Qi Wanxi felt bored, so she excused herself and left, and Yi Qi Mancao also left, but for other purposes.

The people present are not small people, and Yi Qi Wanxi knows quite a few people, including Qi Tianyu. Qi Tianyu didn't seem to see her, only smiled and said something to a woman dressed in a bewitching style, Yi Qi Wanxi rarely saw Qi Tianyu show such a smile, Yi Qi Wanxi was inevitably jealous, but she didn't get angry or bother. Dealing with the people who came to greet them one by one, and then wandering around alone, unconsciously arrived in a secluded place.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't expect that the mansion of Mochizuki had such a place, a lake, a meadow, and many trees by the lake, which was very pleasant. The evening breeze blows and the leaves rustle.

Yi Qi sat on the grass, looking at the sparkling lake, picking up the branch at hand and playing with it in his hand.

Another gust of wind blew, Yi Qi Wanxi was thinking about Qi Tianyu, thinking about why she was in such a mood when she saw him, and a very sharp voice came into her eardrums from behind: "Yo, Third Miss, why are you here alone?"

Yi Qi Wanxi looked back at the person who came slightly, and under the moonlight was a woman dressed in a bewitching manner, with a slender figure and a bewitching posture. It was the woman who had just spoken to Qi Tianyu. Yi Qi Wanxi only felt that she had seen her somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Ahh You don't know me, do you? She lightly raised her slender curved eyebrows, her voice was still very sharp, although there was no malice, Yi Qi Wanxi inexplicably thought of words like "scathing".

"Ho~" The woman chuckled, took out a cigarette from her handbag and lit it, took a sharp puff, spit out a string of cigarettes, and said coldly, "You are really a noble person who forgets things." ”

Yi Qi looked at her for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"

"The man I have my eye on has never been unavailable." The woman said, taking another puff of her cigarette, "But you are the first and only woman who makes me feel frustrated. Without waiting for Yi Qi Wanxi to say anything, he added, "No matter where you are, you are so conspicuous, it is easy to attract the eyes of men, but they only dare to look at you from afar." The man who felt lonely would throw himself into my arms. She said, her tone a little angry, "Yi Qi Wanxi, sometimes I feel like a substitute. And it's you who make me feel that way. ”

"So, who are you?" Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly.

"If you don't know me in Shanghai, it's probably you. Also, it's normal that you've been abroad for many years and don't remember. The woman said, spitting out another smoke ring, "But, do you remember Manxianglou?" ”

"Manxianglou?" Yi Qi Wanxi read it softly, startled, then got up suddenly, looked at the woman, and asked, "Could it be that you are ......?"

"Renhime." The woman chuckled, but Yi Qiwan couldn't hear the meaning of the laugh.

"Remember?" Ren Ji chuckled, "I've been loving this name a lot lately, do you want to know why?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't speak, just looked at her.

"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons." Lian Ji said, her eyes were a little more gentle, as soft as the moonlight, "After Young Master Qi said this to me, I fell in love with this name deeply, just as I fell in love with Young Master Qi. ”

When Yi Qi heard this, her heart trembled violently, but she didn't speak.

Manchun Building, Shanghai's largest place of wind and moon. Lian Ji, the top brand of Manchun Building, although she makes a living by selling herself, she has a great ability, and she is very popular with those high-ranking officials and men, so she is also a popular figure in Shanghai.

"You know." Lian Ji said, holding a cigarette in her hand, and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, "When Young Master Qi was in my arms, what did you say to me, Third Miss?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi felt that her brain was blank for a moment, and there was a gust of wind in her ears, and Lian Ji's voice entered Yi Qi Wanxi's ears with the sound of the wind.

"The third lady of the Yiqi family is fascinating, but it also makes people feel distant."

With that, Ren Ji turned away with a loud laugh like a silver bell.

Yi Qi watched Lian Ji's back melt into the night, and only remained silent.

He said he felt she was far away. Her fiancé, however, felt that she was far away.

Yi Qi turned around gracefully, looked at the lake, thought about something, and slowly laughed out loud, laughing and laughing and shedding tears.

After a long time, Yi Qi returned to the hall where the banquet was held, and the hall was singing and dancing. Yi Qi Wanxi looked for Qi Tianyu sitting next to him in the crowd, only to find that Qi Tianyu was sitting next to Yi Qi Mingzhi, and the two of them looked very solemn, as if they were talking about something important. Yi Qi was embarrassed, so she turned around and walked aside.

Yi Qi Wanxi sat on the chair in the corner, and the beautiful voice came from the right, very clear, the sound wave drove Yi Qi Wanxi's heartstrings, and her mind was blank for a moment: "Wanxi? Long time no see. She turned her head slowly, only to notice that the person next to her was Si Yu.

He was dressed in black civilian clothes, and there was little bit of all the seriousness that Yi Qi Wanxi remembered. That face is still the same as it is in my memory, but it is not the same, it feels less immature, more mature, and more charming.

She hesitated and slowly spoke: "Young marshal."

Xu was not used to this title, he raised his eyebrows, was silent for a moment, and then nodded lightly, "You have grown up."

When Yi Qi heard this, she only smiled indifferently and lowered her head. Just as she was thinking about whether to find a topic to communicate with him, a beautiful hand reached out to her, and before she could react, her chin was gently raised. Raise your eyes to meet his deep but gentle gaze.

The same gaze as before, the same feeling as before, it feels very familiar, and it feels very strange. I don't know if Yi Qi Wanxi looked at his eyes and forgot to resist, or she didn't want to resist in the first place, so she was gently lifted by his chin like that.

He looked at her for a few seconds, as if he was sure, let go of his hand, and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, so she subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, but was grabbed by Si Yu's wrist. She froze and heard his voice: "Go back." After a few seconds, he said, "I'll send you back." ”

When Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, she broke away from his hand, didn't look at him, and said, "Thank you, don't bother the young marshal."

Si Yu looked at her for a few seconds, squinted slightly, sat up straight, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you are Qi Tianyu's fiancée, and you were rude just now."

Yi Qi raised his head suddenly, looked at his side face, and wanted to say "No", but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he swallowed it back raw, and said lightly: "The young marshal didn't do anything rude, but it was me, which made the young marshal worried."

Si Yu seemed to laugh and said lightly: "You have never let me worry."

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't hear clearly, and was about to ask something, but saw Si Yu looking up at the person who walked in front of her, and said with a light smile: "Reminiscing with old friends, I don't think Young Master Qi will mind, right?"

When Qi Tianyu heard this, he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "If Wanxi is willing, what's the use of me minding?" After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Si Yu, turned to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, stretched out his hand, and said, "Can I invite you to dance?" My lady. ”

Yi Qi Wanxi glanced at Si Yu slightly, and saw that his expression was still the same, and he couldn't see his emotions, as if he didn't care.

"Okay." Yi Qi heard her own voice. She stretched out her hand and put it on Qi Tianyu's outstretched hand, and then walked towards the dance floor with Qi Tianyu.

Si Yu sat on the chair, picked up the glass on the table next to him, drank a glass of wine, and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi on the dance floor. She has a bright smile and is heartwarming. Si Yu was also moved, but more distressed.

He knew everything about her, so he knew she wasn't happy at all.

She never let him worry.

He had always wanted to protect her, but he knew that he would only bring her more pain, but he wanted her to be happy, so he gave her up.

Seeing Si Yu drinking alone, a man in a military uniform who was on the side couldn't help but come over and joke to him: "Tut, tsk, I thought that only women would drink because of the major general, but I never thought that the major general would actually drink because of a woman here."

Si Yu raised his head, looked at him slightly, his eyes were sharp, the man immediately shut up, raised his head and looked away, and changed the topic: "The atmosphere is good tonight, let's go to Manchun Building later."

Si Yu looked at Mochizuki Ji and Lian Ji who were dancing in the crowd, and said, "The top card of Manchun Building is also here, it seems that it will serve Mr. Manyue tonight, colonel, don't think about it."

The man laughed and said, "There are many good girls in Manchun Building, and it's not just Lianji."

Si Yu didn't say anything anymore, put the wine glass aside, got up, patted the man's shoulder, and said, "Pay attention to your body." After speaking, he walked past him.

When the man heard this, he turned his head to look at Si Yu's dashing and departing back, only raised his eyebrows lightly, pursed his lips slightly, and moved his gaze to Lian Ji in the crowd.

After the song, Yi Qi Mancao came out of the crowd, trotted in front of Si Nan, who was sitting on the side, leaned over to look at him slightly, and said with a smile: "Eh, do you want to dance with me?" The tone seems to be asking but not asking, with a coquettish tone.

Sinan raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently with a flushed face, and said, "I can't dance."

Yi Qi Mancao pouted slightly, and said, "Shall I teach you?"

Sinan looked at her for a long time, and said softly: "No."

Although Yi Qi Mancao was a little displeased, he didn't force it, lifted his skirt and sat next to Sinan, looked at the crowd, and asked Sinan, "How long will the banquet end?"

Sinan took out his pocket watch and looked at it a few times by the light, and said, "There are still three quarters of an hour."

When Yi Qi Mancao heard this, he did not speak. She was probably a little tired, so she leaned sideways and leaned her head on Si Nan's shoulder, Si Nan was stunned, only looked down at her slightly, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, as if Yi Qi Mancao didn't lean on his shoulder.
