Shi Xiaonian walked over and pressed lightly on the keyboard, and the screen lit up.
Then, Shi Xiaonian saw an email that had been sent, which was sent using her email account.
She frowned and slid her fingers gently on the keyboard to bring up the content of the sent email. The mailbox was unfamiliar to her, but she could clearly understand the content of the attachment once she opened it.
These are two videos of Miyaou burning gifts.
Who did he send this video to
Shi Xiaonian thought for a few seconds and suddenly realized, is it Qianchu? Yes, it can only be him.
Why bother provoking Mu Qianchu again
Shi Xiaonian sat down by the bed, raised her hand and froze for a few seconds, then clicked on the mailbox to continue sending and input the next few words.
Leave, as far away as possible.
She didn't know if there was anyone around Mu Qianchu reading these contents for him. If he saw it, he would probably leave, right
I hope that Gong Ou's jealousy is only temporarily aroused by the situation and will pass soon.
Shi Xiaonian hesitated for a while, then clicked send, then turned off the computer and stayed in the old house silently waiting for Gong Ou to come back.
Hour after hour passed, Shi Xiaonian never waited for Gong Ou to come back, but waited for Feng De's call.
She answered the phone and said, "Father."
"Xiao Nian, why doesn't the young master answer the phone? I have something urgent here." Feng De asked anxiously.
Shi Xiaonian stood at the door and looked into the distance. She didn't see Gong Ou coming back, so she had to say, "He was doing something. Maybe he didn't hear the phone ring. I'll go find him and tell him if there's anything urgent."
"this… "
Feng De hesitated.
"Father, do you want to keep it a secret from me now?" Shi Xiaonian asked. Feng De said on the phone, "How could I mean this? The young master and I don't want you to worry too much."
"What happened?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"It's Lancaster. They started a large-scale attack on NE after receiving Li Qingyan's half-true documents last time. The young master is now in control of the situation, but he has been slow to take concrete actions. I am very worried." Feng De said with some worry that in everything, it is important to strike first.
But the young master who always acted straightforwardly was hesitant this time.
"Didn't you tell him this earlier?" Shi Xiaonian asked. In fact, she also felt strange. Gong Ou sent Li Qingyan out. He had already started playing the chessboard, but he left the chessboard to accompany her to his hometown. .
"I've said it before, but the young master said..."
"say what?"
"He said he wanted to accompany you for a walk." Feng De said, sighing softly.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's hand pressed on the door beside her involuntarily, her eyes dimmed, and she walked with her again, just because of this, she lost a very important chess game.
How silly.
"Father." Shi Xiaonian said, "I don't understand the intrigues in those shopping malls, nor the overt and covert fights between families, but I want to know, how likely is Gong Ou to win in this war with Lancaster?"
"Xiao Nian, you have to believe the young master..."
"Father, I only listen to your judgment." Shi Xiaonian interrupted him. There were too many things she didn't understand. She judged whether this matter was serious or not based on the feeling of Gong Ou every time.
Feng De was silent there for a long time. When Shi Xiaonian heard Feng De sigh, he said, "Xiao Nian, to be honest, I don't know. That is an old family that has been around for hundreds of years. It can still survive today." In such a world, Mr. Lancaster is by no means a person who wants to stand in the way, but the young master has always acted informally and is smart and wise. In the recent confrontations, the young master has almost completely won."
“…”
"So, Xiao Nian, it's hard to tell about the last battle." Feng De stopped here and swallowed the sentence "But it can be foreseen that this will be a fierce battle with blood on the ground" in his stomach, not to stimulate her.
"I understand, adoptive father, I will advise Gong Ou to go back early."
Shi Xiaonian said, then hung up the phone, leaning against the door alone, looking into the distance with empty eyes.
She had always felt that this fierce battle would come very late, and she and Gong Ou still had a lot of time, but now she found that Lancaster was no longer willing to give them time.
Shi Xiaonian stretched out her hand to caress her swollen belly, couldn't she wait any longer until Gong Ou accompanied her to watch the birth of the child.
She didn't want Gong Ou to have any more regrets.
…
At dusk, golden fragments of light fell on this community.
When Gong Ou found Shi Xiaonian, she was in the fitness equipment area of the community. She was sitting alone on the equipment for massaging her back and exercising her arms, but she did not make any exercise movements. She used the cold equipment as a chair.
The broken light hit her face and dyed her long hair, making it look particularly soft.
"Why are you here alone?"
Gong Ou walked toward her with his long legs.
Hearing her voice, Shi Xiaonian didn't look back, just sat there quietly, "I was thinking about something."
Think about many, many things.
"whats the matter?"
Gong Ou walked to her side and stood still.
She smelled a burnt smell on his fluttering clothes. It seemed that he had gained a lot today and had burned a lot of gifts.
"Thinking around." Shi Xiaonian raised her face and looked at him with a smile, "How many gifts have you found?"
"Eight copies."
Gong Ou replied, leaning against the equipment behind her.
"It's so fast. Are you satisfied with the burning?" Shi Xiaonian asked lightly, without blaming, only condoning.
"Are you feeling distressed?"
Gong Ou looked at her sharply.
Shi Xiaonian did not answer his words and only said, "My adoptive father called me. He said that Lancaster has started to take action and wants you to go back and sit in the battle."
"Why is this old man Feng De telling you this?"
Gong Ou frowned in displeasure, with a hint of anger in his tone. He turned around and sat down on the equipment chair behind her.
Under the setting sun, the two people sat back to back across the cold pillars of the fitness equipment.
"Let's go back."
Shi Xiaonian said, her voice as soft as a gust of wind, a wind without any harm.
"If you don't go back, I still have four gifts that I haven't found yet." Gong Ou said coldly, with a very paranoid tone.
"So what if we find everything? That was all a long time ago."
Shi Xiaonian said helplessly that she didn't understand why Gong Ou was so angry and jealous this time.
Gong Ou sat with his back to her, and Shi Xiaonian heard his cold and sinister voice behind her, "I just feel unhappy with him, can't I?"
Is that so
You just have to keep an eye on Mu Qianchu, right
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but said, "When Qianchu left, we agreed not to look for him or listen to the news."
They decided at that time that all their grudges would be blown away by the wind, right
She thought they had already reached a consensus.
"It was then, and now it is now!"
Gong Ou said coldly, with an arrogance like "I can change my mind if I want to, and no one can control it."
A no-nonsense attitude.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but close her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were dim and lonely. She looked at the setting sun in the distance and finally said, "What is the clue to the ninth part?"
"what?"
Gong Ou asked back, his tone guarded.
"With your temper, if everything goes well, you will definitely find all twelve gifts in one go. You must have encountered a difficult clue." Shi Xiaonian said with a hint of compromise, "I'll help you."
"help me?"
Gong Ou sat sideways, looking at her with a pair of black eyes. Her side face was small and plated with a layer of sunset gold.
Shi Xiaonian also followed his example and turned her body sideways, looking at him gently, "Yes, if you find the remaining four gifts early, you can go back early."
Lancaster has already taken action. If he doesn't do something, he will ruin the good cards he has drawn before.
"You want to help me find it, and then watch me burn it?"
Gong Ou stared at her and asked.
A hint of sadness flashed across Shi Xiaonian's eyes, but soon, she nodded firmly, "Yes."
"Shi Xiaonian, you are really sick!"
Gong Ou scolded her directly. This was completely different from the Shi Xiaonian he knew.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, looked at his handsome face and said, "Don't you just like what you do and what I do with you?"
"But usually you would scold me at times like this!"
Gong Ou stared at her and said in a faint tone.
Shi Xiaonian laughed out loud, "Are you so scolded? Okay, let's tell you the clues. There may be some riddles that you don't know what they mean, but I know them."
Hearing this, Gong Ou's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his voice was full of jealousy, "Are you showing off to me now that you had a secret that I didn't know about?"
Are you jealous again
Shi Xiaonian looked at him helplessly and said quietly from her soft lips word by word, "Mong Ou, no one else knows about the relationship between me and Qianchu. You are the one who has known me all the way. So many things have happened." After that, do you think I will still show off the secrets I have with him?"
Her biological parents were both dead, and the family she had finally found was gone.
She doesn't mention or expose those scars, but that doesn't mean she won't feel pain.
“…”
Gong Ou was silent, the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, his thin lips moved, and after a long time he said, "I'm not accusing you of forgetting those things."
He was never willing to blame her, not for anything.
"I know."
Shi Xiaonian looked at him, he just couldn't control his jealousy, right
It doesn't matter, she doesn't care.
“…”
Gong Ou fell into silence again, his black eyes fixed on the ground in front of him, his body leaning forward slightly, and the hands on his knees kept clenching.
"Finish the search early and go back early."
Shi Xiaonian said this sentence again, the taste of pampering was obviously more than the color of the sunset.
Gong Ou turned his eyes to look at her, pursed his thin lips, and asked, "What is cellophane?"
"Cellophane is candy wrapper. After peeling off the sugar, the candy wrapper is a square piece. I loved collecting candy wrappers when I was a child. The sunlight looks colorful when you use the candy wrappers. Is this a clue to the eighth gift?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, and when he saw Gong Ou's chin, he stood up and said, "Follow me, I know where the gift is." (To be continued)
