Chapter 160: The Greeting Ceremony
——
A rainstorm, accompanied by nightfall, enveloped the entire city in an endless wet chill.
At the door of Weihai's apartment, Qi Qi called out to Xia Nianzhi, and finally held back the doubts that had been tangled all the way from between his teeth.
"I'm curious, from Sheng Can's to Shi Xun, what attracted you?"
This question is not only for him to wonder, but also because he wants to relieve his friend who is drunk and depressed all day long.
"Xia Nianzhi, do you have any regrets about that gamble back then?"
……
Before the words fell, Qi Qi swept without a trace over the corner of the balcony on the second floor of the next building, as far as the eye could see—there was a figure hidden in the dark, and vaguely, the obscure shadow was sufficient, as if it would eventually be corroded by the wind and rain, leaving no room for it.
Qi Lu knew that he could hear it.
Thinking of this, Qi Lu's heart became more and more uneven, he waited quietly, waiting for Xia Nianzhi to give him, no, to be precise, that person, a worthy answer, but Xia Nianzhi, who was not far away in front of him, was silent for a long time after pausing his steps.
The wind and rain were bleak, Xia Nianzhi slowly turned around, with nothing to rely on.
Qi Qi looked at her and frowned, watched her slowly walk towards him, and finally stood still by the car window.
"Qi Ershao, your question is really sudden, I'm confused, I want to ask..."
Slowly turning around, the thin woman standing in the rain with an umbrella made a serious face, as if asking him, but more like asking herself.
“… You said... Bet...? What gamble? ”
"Why, the gambling plate set by Miss Xia herself back then, although the nobles forgot a lot, but in just three years, you forgot everything?"
"Believe it or not, I've never set a market."
——
The warm pavilion of the Aocheng International Conference Center exploded, and when retreating from the conference center, the killers sent by Sheng Can chased after them.
At that time, he and Sheng Zhen had no way to retreat, and there was no life before, but Xia Nianzhi, who could have stayed out of the matter, did not leave them behind and fled to Sheng Can to find safe shelter; The whole road is in the same boat through thick and thin, sharing weal and woe, and even confronting the killer head-on for Sheng Scar.
And that night, when I saw Xia Nianzhi crying desperately for Sheng Scar on the stairs of St. Rhodes Hospital.
——
Qi Lu's mind kept flashing those moments, he stared at Xia Nianzhi who was convincing, and the doubts in his heart were even worse, was Xia Nianzhi in front of him pretending to be crazy and stupid? Is she trying to get past the incident on the pretext that she doesn't remember?
"Qi Ershao, don't you believe it?"
After a while, Qi Lu, who lost his mind, was pulled back to the present by Xia Nianzhi's soft call, but Qi Lu couldn't hold back and mocked deliberately.
“…… After all, it's not me who has become a bargaining chip, where am I qualified to say believe it or not......"
Hearing this, Xia Nian's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, Qi Qi suddenly had such a weird yin and yang, and it was unreasonable to mention the so-called gambling game inexplicably, and Qi Qi, who had always been straightforward, actually learned to point at Sang and scold Huai, and he didn't know what to do.
"I'm very grateful to Qi Ershao for coming to the rescue today, but as soon as the gambling market is said, I really am, I don't understand what you mean."
“……”
Qi Lu's inquiring gaze was naked, Xia Nianzhi turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Qi Lu's chuckle behind him.
“… Has my good nephew's name been decided? Second Uncle Qi has prepared gadgets and is ready to give him as a gift..."
Suddenly paused, Xia Nianzhi pursed his lips, and couldn't help thinking: Today's Qi Qi is too strange, why is it?
First, the mysterious black mirror that suddenly appeared, then the so-called gambling game many years ago, and then, the sudden mention of the little soufflé.
Wait a minute...... That's it...... Small soufflé ......
The last time they had contact was the last time Xiao Jiayuan chatted with Qi Lu's Lang Pavilion, when Qi Lu swore to her that she was pregnant with a little soufflé, and she swore that she was conclusive, and she had always adhered to the purpose of refusing to answer, but she didn't understand what Qi Qi said, but now that she thinks about it carefully, I'm afraid that her inaction has been regarded as a default by Qi Qi.
So, what exactly does Qi Qi want to do with the little soufflé?
Thinking of this, Xia Nianzhi turned around again and looked at Qi Qi who was elbowing on the edge of the window, he also looked back, his eyes were blazing, as if everything was under control, Xia Nianzhi was suddenly a little scared, just like when she was in St. Rhodes Hospital, she said to Song Cheng - father and son repay debts, who can be sure that those enemies and enemies of Sheng Scar will not hit the idea of revenge on the little soufflé.
What's more, if Song Cheng knew about the existence of the little soufflé, if those people in the Sheng family knew the identity of the little soufflé, then what would they do?
"Qi Lu, jokes, stop in moderation."
"Am I kidding? Okay, just take it as my joke......" Qi Lu spread his hands, reverted to the original appearance of a gentleman, and said with a playful smile: "...... But you have to understand that as the only son of Sheng Zhen, this unborn child can get far more than you can imagine, aren't you tempted at all? ”
"Qi Ershao, you also have to understand, as the old saying goes, contentment is always happy."
……
Originally, she hid it because she was afraid that Sheng Scar would not want her to become the mother of his child and do something to hurt the little soufflé.
But now that I think about it, since Sheng Scar has passed away, this reason can also be irrelevant; But the safety of the little soufflé is something he has to consider, so maybe she should find a way to block the mouth of this son, so that the little soufflé's life experience will be drunk by him in the future and inadvertently leak out, and then it will inevitably set off a bloody storm in the huge Daping City.
"Qi Ershao, this belongs to my privacy, but there are some words, I think we should say it directly."
"Little soufflé is innocent, Sheng Scar's death, who is behind it, and whether he will continue to attack anyone related to Sheng Scar, I'm not very sure......" Xia Nianzhi paused, turned around again, and showed rare humility and sincerity: "Therefore, I don't want him to be forced to get involved in these messy grievances before he was born, if this is the case, the price will be ......."
Xia Nianzhi grabbed the edge of the window frame, and the torrential rain smashed on the umbrella surface, like Beethoven's Concerto of Destiny, which was as deep and low as Beethoven's Concerto of Fate, crackling, and stirring people's hearts uneasy, Xia Nianzhi clenched the handle of the umbrella and begged in a low voice: "None of us can afford it, so I ask Qi Ershao to let this matter stay between you and me forever, let him become a secret, and never mention it again." ”
Hearing this, Qi Lu suddenly had to admit that he was negligent in the personal safety of his eldest nephew.
… But... Maybe...
Qi Qi stared at Xia Nianzhi, and when she saw her smiling reluctantly, she blurted out in a hurry: "What if Sheng Scar is still there?" ”
“……”
Xia Nianzhi was stunned for a long time, and only felt that it was extremely interesting, and went around and around, Qi Qi's problem actually returned to the beginning - this kind of assumption, but if there is a 1 in 10 million possibility, I am afraid that Sheng Ji is the most hopeful person in this world.
Therefore, no matter what, she will not let Sheng Zhen know about the existence of the little soufflé or even Guoguo.
At least, before Guoguo and soufflé became adults, Sheng Scar could only belong to the two brothers - strangers who could be seen in TV and magazine media reports, maybe one day the two children asked about it, and they only called it that they had crossed paths, and they were not very familiar...
… Friend? … Neighbor? …
“… Qi Ershao..."
Xia Nianzhi smiled reluctantly, deliberately bypassing Qi Qi's hypothetical question, and slowly changing the topic, "... Look at your stubborn energy, I'm afraid that you are true love for Sheng Zhen, right? In fact, there is no need to deceive yourself, it is already an established fact, and if you don't accept it, you can't do anything..."
The words turned sharply, gentle but hidden blades.
The rain is still falling, smashing on the umbrella and crackling, like the continuous rain during the Chinese New Year, as if it will never stop.
Qi Qi was slandering what God had gone through, crying so miserably, while looking at Xia Nianzhi, the woman was still smiling shallowly, but she was even more embarrassed and embarrassed than she was crying at the stairs that day.
He couldn't help but want to look at the corner of the balcony on the second floor again, but for a while, Qi Qi didn't dare to really look there-because Xia Nianzhi was in front of him, this woman was extremely smart, and within a few moments, the subtle changes in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows could expose his disguise in front of her.
At that time, the 'Yellow Sparrow' is afraid that it will be frightened, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
“… Forget it, when I didn't say anything today, love is so difficult to understand, I can't afford to provoke it, and I can still hide..."
Although it was forgotten, Xia Nianzhi's eyes sent Qi Lu to slam the steering wheel, and when he rode away in the roar of the engine, he still couldn't let go of the 'gamble' that Qi Lu suddenly mentioned in his mouth, but instead, the subconscious sixth sense made her remember the two words in Qi Lu's almost questioning tone, and always wanted to find a chance to talk to Qi Luo again.
