An Qi finally stopped, leaning on the carved gate of his house, feeling that this world is so big, but there is no place for him to stay.

"Miss An, Mr. told you to go back."

A little girl who spoke unskilled Chinese timidly lowered her head and asked her.

She interrupted her memories, An Qi lowered her head, rubbed her somewhat sore neck with her hand, her eyes dimmed, and she responded in a low voice, "Okay." ”

Then he lifted his steps and slowly walked through the door.

The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally, and when I got up, I still had some dizziness and headache, which should have been a cool breeze when I went out to enjoy the snow last night.

Thinking of last night's snow, An Qi paused, hurriedly lifted the quilt and didn't even have time to put on slippers, so he stepped on the soft carpet, ran to the window and opened the curtains.

Sure enough, it was covered in snow.

The pine trees in the yard were covered with thick layers of snow, and there was not a single footprint in the yard, it was a complete square.

She pursed her lips a little happily, walked to the desk in three or two steps, picked up her phone, turned on the camera mode, and took several photos.

Yes, Lu Yiqi gave her a way to contact the outside world.

"Miss An, are you awake?" The sound of a knock on the door panel broke the silence of the room and the beauty of the morning.

An Qi frowned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the alarm clock at the bedside, it's only seven o'clock now, why is someone calling him to wake up now?

"What's the matter?"

The bedroom door was opened, and An Qi showed half of her body, the expression on her face was a little impatient, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her hand was on the edge of the door frame, obviously not wanting her to come in.

Of course, the little nanny also saw that she was in a bad mood, and thought that she had woken her up, so she quickly took a step back and bowed ninety degrees to apologize.

"Miss An, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu said that you have to get up early today to get dressed up, and there is a New Year's party in the Chinese circle from afternoon to evening, so you must attend with him."

"Got it."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

An Qi turned his back and leaned against the door, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, it turned out that the Chinese here also invited Lu Yiqi to celebrate the New Year together? She thought that Lu Yiqi would not participate.

In the afternoon, the snow in the yard melted a little, and in some places a black patch of ground was exposed, as ugly as a giant patch.

An Qi went through complicated dressing and followed Lu Yiqi to a manor.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt an eerie feeling, this manor is located in the suburbs, and after getting out of the car, I can see rows and rows of cars parked outside, and nothing else can be seen.

Lush pine trees surrounded the estate, and from her vantage point she could only see a few pointed towers.

"What kind of party is this?" When An Qi got out of the car and walked forward, her steps slowed down by half a beat, and she asked Lu Yiqi next to her with some hesitation.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, it's all Chinese here."

Lu Yiqi could see her nervousness from her movements, and she was a little half a step behind An Qi

Walking side by side, he took her wrist and put her hand in the crook of his arm, and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Entering the venue, An Qi thought that what he saw would be a group of celebrities in evening dresses elegantly holding red wine glasses and whispering.

The layout of the scene surprised her.

It's not a drinking party at all, it's a private party.

An Qi thought that the party Lu Yiqi said would be like the place he took her to before, full of businessmen in suits and leather shoes, a group of people wearing masks and smirking, and fighting openly and secretly in Vanity Fair.

To be precise, this place is like a party salon, full of sofas and entertainment furnishings, and none of the people present are dressed as exaggerated as at the drinking party, they are all dressed in casual clothes, and they gather in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

As soon as you enter, you can smell the atmosphere from the air.

An Qi couldn't help but look down at his outfit, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Dressed like this, as if you were going to some grand award ceremony, can you talk to them about it? You won't be embarrassedly isolated, will you?

This thick discomfort made her a little nervous, and her palms were sweaty.

"Mr. Lu? Why did you come so late, I thought you weren't coming back this year. ”

Just as she was looking down at her clothes, a woman walked over, first glanced at the two of them, and then exchanged a few words with Lu Yiqi.

"It's not too late, is it? It shouldn't have started yet. ”

"Of course, it's not too late for you to come, after all, we're lucky to have you invited."

An Qi was a little surprised, this woman didn't look like someone who could know him, she was dressed ordinary, and her appearance was even more ordinary, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like someone who would have crossed paths with him.

But listening to the tone of their voices, it seems that they are still familiar with old friends who have known each other for a long time.

The woman greeted him, and An Qi smiled and nodded.

After she turned around and left, An Qi was still staring at her back and couldn't take her eyes off, so Lu Yiqi lowered his head and explained in her ear, "See?" This woman is very powerful. ”

"At the recent global writers' conference, this woman was on the table."

An Qi gasped in her heart, although she didn't pay much attention to these meetings, but when she heard the name, it was an extremely important international exchange meeting.

Women who can enter this kind of place are not simple people, An Qi secretly admires it in his heart.

Lu Yiqi took him to a sofa in the corner and sat down, and soon five or six people came over and asked them if they wanted to play cards together.

An Qi liked the atmosphere very much, and she longed to fit into this environment, so she took the initiative to talk to them.

"What card?"

She looks innocent, and when she says this, she has beautiful eyes, and she is called very aura.

Several people were immediately attracted to her.

"It's the domestic mahjong, do you want to come?"

"We've got two tables here, plus you

The two of us are just right. ”

The familiar "three missing one" listened to her ears, and this feeling of finding organization made her feel very reassured.

One of the girls immediately came over, affectionately grabbed An Qi's arm, and walked her over.

"You're so pretty."

For her praise, An Qi couldn't help blushing a little.

If she knew that it was this kind of party, she would not have dressed up so grandly, it seemed that she was really unsociable.

The two of them sat at two tables respectively, and they used cards instead of money, not for gambling money, but for having fun.

An Qi is not very good at playing these, and after the three of them told her the rules, she began to build blocks a little unskillfully.

The first two games were her last, and the others laughed helplessly, "It's not like we bullied you." ”

An Qi also smiled in agreement, but secretly observed their cards.
