After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the hour hand of the clock has pointed to 11, and the celebration banquet of the Moses family has come to an end.
At first, the four of them drank until their faces were flushed. Wu Qi stood up and said that it was getting late and he should go back. Greg and Adrienne both said that Wu Qi had lived there for a long time, and it would be convenient to simply stay overnight tomorrow night.
"Well, he has something to do early in the morning. Please bring something. It would be better to leave from home. If Toji has a chance, he will stay again."
Wu Qi politely declined to stay overnight and prepared to go back. At that time Adrienne glanced at Renee, stood up and put her arm on Wu Qi's shoulder.
"Then he will send me back." She smiled. Just by looking at her eyes, no one could tell whether she was drunk or sober.
Renee was dumbfounded tomorrow night. In the past, she thought there was nothing between Sister Anna and Wu Qi. With the two-level relationship between Greg and herself, the two gradually became friends. But tomorrow night's celebration banquet is here. The look in Sister Anna's eyes when she looks at Wu Qi always seems to reveal appreciation and even love. Not to mention her enchanting and charming demeanor, her manners are all kinds of closeness and physical contact. After winning the duel, she made a request. —Tell Wu Qi to call her abbreviated name "Anna".
It's okay if Wu Qi doesn't stay overnight. The key is that Sister Anna actually wants to take Wu Qi home. The whole journey was in complete darkness, and the place in front of Wu Qi's house was beyond his control.
Renee's imagination has begun to run wild, and she is shouting in her heart: "No, no, no, no! Renee, if I hesitate any longer, it will be gone!"
In fact, Renee's actions were faster than her thoughts. She suddenly stood up and held Adrienne's legs and wrists, with a faint smile on her lips: "Sister Anna, I am also a little drunk, so he is sending Wu Qi away." Let's go back."
"Ah, is it really okay? Wu Qi and I were drunk this time..." Adrienne deliberately brought up that matter, and at the same time, her legs and wrists used subtle strength to break free from Renee's grasp. Renee was unwilling to give in, and the two sides began to wrestle silently in the blink of an eye.
"Sister Anna, I'm worrying too much. I won't be the protagonist until tomorrow night. Go to bed early."
"Since he is the protagonist, there is no reason not to see the guests off in person."
Seeing the heated atmosphere between Adrienne and Renee becoming more and more intense, Wu Qi had no idea how to keep himself drunk. He rushed to mobilize the power of atavism to decompose the alcohol outside his body. Just when he was about to say something, Renee suddenly slapped Adrienne's leg and wrist off in excitement, and then the other leg directly grabbed his leg. She grabbed her wrist and pulled him out.
"Hey, I'll be busy tomorrow morning. "Renee lowered her head and kept walking without looking back.
Wu Qi was pulled forward to choke. He looked at Renee's back, turned his head and didn't see half of Adrienne's figure, and then turned back.
"Greg, Anna, then he will go back first. There is no need to send him away."
Wu Qi said loudly, but where he didn't see, Adrienne stood still and didn't chase her out, with her arms folded and a doting smile on her face.
As soon as the door opened, the bright room was replaced by a quiet night. Two or two standing street lamps illuminated the way for the two of them to go out. With Renee in front and Wu Qi behind, they walked out of most of the vestibule.
"Wu Qi, what do I need to do tomorrow morning?"
Renee continued to speak without looking back, and at this moment, Wu Qi was also decomposing alcohol outside his body and the night breeze helped Dong wake up for most of the time, so he chatted with Renee without a word.
The walking time was just 20 minutes, and the two of them chatted and walked to the villa area where Wu Qi's family was located. There is a river next to the villa area. There are carefully cultivated groves on both sides of the river, and there are bright light strips to decorate the night scene.
No high-ranking military officer lives in that villa area. Although Renee knew that she was still in school, she actually had the financial strength to move there, but she didn't even think about it at first and stayed at Moses' house to live with Greg and Adrienne, who were like family members.
That was the first time Renee took the initiative to enter the villa area where senior officers lived. The night river outside the bridge flowed quietly, and the scattered lights and shadows were like a dream, too beautiful to be in reality.
Renee's pace gradually slowed down, and she became walking side by side with Wu Qi.
"He didn't know where my home was. He sent me back, which just happened to let him know something." Renee Rushuo said.
"good."
The journey to Wu Qi's house was shorter than Renee imagined. She didn't walk far enough, and the two of them stopped in front of a three-story house.
"It's right there. Please be careful when I go back..."
"Wu Qi, do I feel comfortable living there?"
Renee's question drowned out Wu Qi's soft words. Wu Qi looked into Renee's eyes and said, "Well, all the facilities are very good, and the scenery is also good. It's leisurely and comfortable, and no one will disturb you."
"Please, why don't he move here too?" Renee suddenly smiled.
Seeing Wu Qi stunned, Renee added: "He said he would choose a building by himself."
"Oh... Then it depends on me." Wu Qi said hesitantly.
"Hey, look how nervous I am," Renee put her legs behind her and walked to Wu Qi, "Am I sober now?"
"Um."
"Then he's relieved. Why don't you invite him in for a cup of tea?"
Wu Qi looked at Renee's bright eyes. Those big beautiful eyes seemed to exist in a blue sea of drunken sunshine, with rolling waves filled with unpredictable emotions.
The scene of Zai Yue being drunk flashed through Wu Qi's mind, making Wu Qi's thoughts a little confused. He responded with "ah" and "um" and turned around to open the door with his fingerprint.
The big dark room was filled with the light of the red lamp with a "pop" sound. Wu Qi put away a pair of slippers and went to the kitchen to boil water. Renee walked into Wu Qi's house and looked around.
Wu Qi's home style is simple and refreshing, and the furniture does not have too much modernity or luxury. On the contrary, Wu Qi prefers natural and rustic wooden furniture. The overall atmosphere is completely different from the mansion like Moses' house. It is just a very simple and relaxed "small home".
Not long after, Wu Qi brought two cups of hangover tea and put them on the coffee table. Renee walked to the sofa early, holding a pillow in her arms and walked away cross-legged, not at all unfamiliar.
Wu Qi also came from the east: "Drink tea."
"Wu Qi, I very much remember their first night talk around a campfire in a cave in the forest in the occupied area?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"It's really been a long time since then... Or maybe they have turned enemies into friends and gotten along until now." Renee sat on the sofa like a young girl. Shaking, recalling the past, lamenting the time.
"Well, they couldn't predict the future at that time, and he never thought that one day he and I would stay in Xinjing." Wu Qi took a sip of tea and said.
"Indeed. Bu Nao...Wu Qi, can he ask me a question?"
"Don't be so polite, just tell me."
"I think, in fact, my mother is the leader of the Hangying Mild faction. If there was a so-called pursuit order back then, if an officer really caught me, it would not have killed me." Renee hesitated for a while, and then asked The question that contained some thoughts came up, "If time could go over again, I would have a choice. Do I want to be captured by Kazan of the Thirteen Thrones and sent to the Apocalypse Abyss, or do I go back to Xinjing with him?"
"he... ... "
Wu Qi felt it was difficult to answer, but he did not hesitate too much.
"If time could go over again, he would definitely go to the Apocalypse Abyss."
"Sure enough." Renee said immediately.
"I got it?"
"Well, because that's what kills me, otherwise he can't catch me."
As soon as Renee finished speaking, the calf that was originally hidden behind the pillow stretched out at some point and covered the back of Wu Qi's thigh.
"He lied to me about what happened after he was drunk. To apologize, he is very clear about me now."
Renee stood up and Wu Qidong leaned back in consciousness, but after a burst of movement, there was no more shut-up sound in the empty room.
