Extra Fourteen
Extra Fourteen:
The second the two looked at each other, Jiang Mian's mind went blank. The actor's father's angry expression and the faint sound of traffic outside the window seemed to fade away like an ink painting in an instant, leaving only the face in front of him, which was extremely clear.
She opened her lips and almost made an "ah" sound from her throat.
Qi Yanshu quietly let go of his clenched left hand hanging by his side, with a smile in his eyes: "I assume you agree."
He turned to Qin Jingrun and used the honorific title: "Mr. Qin, you are one of Mianmian's fathers. You have custody of Mianmian, but Mianmian is an adult and is an independent individual. Who does she want to fall in love with? It's her freedom. You can interfere, but you can't stop it, let alone impose your will on her."
After saying that, he took Jiang Mian's hand and took Qin Jingrun, who was also sluggish, out of the room while Qin Jingrun was sluggish. When Qin Jingrun reacted and hurried to the door, his baby daughter had already been taken into the elevator by Qi.
He wanted to chase her, but was worried about being recognized and making a fuss, so he could only watch his precious daughter disappear in front of him.
This damn Qi Yanshu actually abducted his daughter right under his nose!
Qin Jingrun walked back and forth several times, thinking again and again, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Han Xu's number.

Entering the elevator, Qi Yan turned over his hand and took out a hidden breath charm and put it in Jiang Mian's pocket. This way, he didn't have to worry about Jiang Mian being recognized.
He led Jiang Mian slowly out of the hotel. The latter was obedient and didn't say a word. He couldn't help but think of the scene where the master and apprentice got along in Tengyun Continent.
There was one time when the little disciple knew that he had made a mistake, so he just let him lead him obediently, not even daring to take a breath.
He looked at it in amusement and deliberately said nothing, hoping to see how she would react.
At that time, after a while, she pulled his sleeves and said pitifully: "Master, my feet hurt."
…
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street outside the hotel. The food stalls not far away were doing very well, and the fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
There is a couple in front of a pancake and fruit stall. The girl is young and beautiful, and the boyfriend next to her looks older than her and has an ordinary face.
He was in a good position to protect the girl firmly.
"Eat less of these things to avoid getting upset again." My boyfriend said.
The girl took the pancake fruit and puffed her mouth: "I like to eat these. They are very delicious. You can try them."
She handed over the pancake fruit, and her boyfriend shook his head helplessly and fondly, lowered his head and took a bite.
"Isn't it delicious?"
The boyfriend smiled and nodded, the girl smiled sweetly, and they left together.
Jiang Mian watched the two people's backs.
Qi Yanshu glanced at it and looked away: "Want to eat?"
Jiang Mian realized what he was doing and quickly shook his head before eating. There was nowhere else he could eat.
When she shook her head, she realized that her hand was still held by Qi Yanshu, and there was a warm feeling in the palms of their hands.
I didn't feel anything before, but now... Jiang Mian moved his fingers uncomfortably, and there was an inexplicable heat behind his ears, as if something was different.
She opened her mouth to say something, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips.
As if he didn't notice her discomfort, Qi Yanshu still held her hand tightly and looked around: "Walking around?"
Jiang Mian could only say "Yeah".
She was brought out by Qi Yanshu in such a hurry that she didn't bring her mobile room card with her. She was wearing the slippers she brought from home, and her ten round and white toes moved.
Qi Yanshu frowned and took her to a nearby shoe store that was still open. As soon as she walked in, the sleepy clerk's eyes instantly brightened and he greeted her enthusiastically: "Sir, would you like to choose shoes for your girlfriend?"
She looked at Jiang Mian, a little surprised and strange: Why couldn't she see this girl's face clearly.
She didn't think much about it, and the customer's nod made her quickly turn her attention away - when the store was about to close, a handsome guy came to her, so she could feast her eyes on him.
"No need to buy them." Jiang Mian took Qi Yanshu's hand. There was nothing wrong with wearing slippers. He would go back later anyway, so there was no need to buy another pair of shoes.
Qi Yanshu pressed her on the fitting chair and patted her head: "Sit obediently."
"Sir, the shoes here are all the latest models. Let's see which one your girlfriend likes." The clerk couldn't help but come over and introduce him enthusiastically. He looked at Qi Yanshu frequently. He is so handsome and he treats his girlfriend so well. Gentle and considerate, so charming.
Qi Yanshu glanced around the shoe cabinet and chose a pair of flat shoes. He turned to Jiang Mian and asked, "Is this okay?"
The flat shoes were simple and elegant, and matched Jiang Mian's clothes very well. She nodded.
Qi Yanshu squatted down with his shoes, took off Jiang Mian's slippers and put them on.
The clerk's eyes widened. If he hadn't remembered his job status, he would have almost taken out his cell phone to take a photo of the scene.
After putting it on, Qi Yanshu held Jiang Mian's ankle and looked at it twice, with satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Try to see if it fits."
"Very suitable." Jiang Mian took two steps, not daring to look at Qi Yanshu.
Qi Yanshu turned to the clerk and said, "Please wrap it up." He was referring to the slippers.
After swiping the card to pay, Qi Yanshu held the shoe box in one hand and held Jiang Mian with the other. The latter wanted to hide, but hesitated subconsciously. When he realized what he was doing, his hand was already held by Qi Yanshu.
Jiang Mian wanted to say something, but when he met Qi Yanshu's gaze, the back of his ears felt uncontrollably hot and he quickly averted his eyes.
After the two of them walked out of the shoe store for a while, Jiang Mian bit her lip and suddenly stopped.
Qi Yanshu: "What's wrong?"
"Master..." Jiang Mian took a deep breath and said, "Are you serious?"
Qi Yanshu was silent for two seconds. At that moment, his eyes became extremely distant: "Do you think I'm kidding?"
He didn't say any unnecessary words, but his eyes and expressions revealed a lot of things that Jiang Mian couldn't understand, but she knew that he wasn't joking.
"Mianmian, do you hate me?"
Jiang Mian shook his head. How could she hate her master, the person who had protected her all her life in Tengyun Continent? Even now that all her memories had been restored, everything about Tengyun Continent was still clearly stored in her memory.
"Is this still the case even after knowing that I am not just a master and disciple to you, but have other delusional thoughts?"
Jiang Mian nodded.
"Then." Qi Yanshu smiled, as if the clouds were rolling and relaxing, "Why can't you come with me?"
Jiang Mian was stunned. She felt that what he said made sense, but she also felt that it was not right. Logic should not argue this way.
Without waiting for Jiang Mian to answer, Qi Yanshu glanced ahead: "There is a small park over there, let's go there."
The small park is not big. There are a few benches in it, and there is only one streetlight around it. Added with the green belt, it looks very dark with shadows and shadows. Almost no one comes here.
Qi Yanshu and Jiang Mian randomly chose a bench and sat down. During this period, neither of them spoke. The occasional wind blew by, making the leaves rustle, adding to the tranquility.
"Mianmian." The first person to break the silence was Qi Yanshu, "Do you like Yu Ran?"
"Of course not." Jiang Mian was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She only regarded Yu Ran as a friend.
The corners of Qi Yanshu's mouth raised slightly. Under the dim light, his expression was not obvious. After a moment, he asked again: "Where is Qi Cheng?"
Jiang Mian paused when he mentioned Qi Cheng.
After the erased memory was restored, she naturally remembered the scene of getting along with Qi Cheng. At that time, she was full of hatred and isolated, and only Qi Cheng gave her the last warmth.
Although he saved her several times, he failed because he was too stupid.
Jiang Mian shook his head quickly: "He is just a bastard."
The corners of Qi Yanshu's mouth curved upward a little deeper. After a while, he said a name again: "Where's Ran Xi?"
"Do you know him?" Jiang Mian was a little surprised.
She hasn't contacted Ran Xi for a long time. The last time she contacted her was during the Chinese New Year. Ran Xi sent her a WeChat message wishing her a happy New Year and a selfie picture. He went to the border area to teach and was with a group of children. It was completely He was a different person, and she was sincerely happy for him.
Qi Yan wrote: "I heard that he is very good-looking and even went to Dan'er with you."
"That was arranged by Father Han." Jiang Mian said without thinking.
Qi Yanshu chuckled: "Are you explaining to me?"
Jiang Mian tried her best to ignore his smile, frowning and said, "...I'm telling the truth."
Qi Yanshu stopped talking, and the atmosphere gradually became a little strange. The place seemed to be surrounded by a barrier. The sound of distant traffic was automatically silenced when it reached here, leaving only the shallow breathing sounds of the two people intertwined.
Jiang Mian lowered his head like an ostrich and began to count his fingers silently, thinking wildly in his mind: The actor's father must be angry, how should he coax him when he goes back, whether to buy some desserts later or something else...
She tried hard to turn all the questions in her mind to the actor's father. Even so, the master's face would pop up from time to time, as if there was a bug in the computer, a small window would pop up and she couldn't remove it.
"Mianmian." Qi Yanshu called her, "Do you want to keep pointing the back of your head at me?"
"Ah? No." Jiang Mian quickly looked up, all thoughts in his mind disappeared, "Hey, where are you looking?"
When she was nervous, she liked to talk about him. Qi Yanshu didn't expose her and followed the direction she pointed: "The light is too dark to see clearly. What is it?"
Jiang Mian swallowed: "It's nothing, a little animal ran away."
It was so embarrassing that Jiang Mian wanted to cover her face with her hands, but luckily she held it back.
Her reaction was all reflected in his eyes. Qi Yanshu weighed in his mind whether to be angry or slow down and fight again. After a while, he chose the former.
"Mianmian, do you have someone you like?"
Jiang Mian shook his head in response.
"This way, I feel at ease." A big palm placed on her waist and gently brought her into his arms, "If you don't like anyone, then try to like me, okay?"
There was a thumping sound in her ears. It took Jiang Mian a second to realize that it was Qi Yanshu's heartbeat. She listened intently, and the thumping sound was beyond the normal frequency.
Master... must be nervous too.
Her knotted mind became slightly clearer, and all the memories about the master quickly passed through her mind: the master did not disappear after his death, his consciousness was always with her, and even though he had died, he still protected her.
But she didn't know, let alone his hidden thoughts. Jiang Mian suddenly felt very sad. She suddenly understood that the master's accelerated heartbeat was not nervous, but fearful.
He was afraid she would refuse.
Once she refuses, or shows the slightest displeasure, he will regain his restraint in the future, and no one will be able to tell if he wants to hide it.
Qi Yanshu's hand hanging by his side clenched unconsciously.
Jiang Mian suddenly raised his head and shook Qi Yanshu's hand, nodding shyly but firmly: "I promise you."
Qi Yanshu's body froze and he didn't respond for a long time.
Although Jiang Mian has lived several lives, this is the first time she has fallen in love. She used to like Gu Qiwen, but that was because half of her soul was missing, which is commonly known as a brain defect.
Turning a master into a beloved lover takes time.
But once she started to change in her heart, everything changed. The rare shyness belonging to a girl flooded into her heart, causing her to quickly lower her head after accepting the confession, hiding her panicked expression.
Why no response
Just as she was thinking about whether to look up, the next second, her body shook and she was pushed down on the back of the chair.
Qi Yanshu held her waist with one hand and supported the back of the chair behind her with the other, bringing her whole body into the square inch formed by his body.
He looked at her with tenderness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "I'm very happy."
After a pause, he repeated: "I'm very happy."
Two different tones carry different emotions.
As his eyes darkened, a clear and gentle warmth spread, and Jiang Mian's eyes widened suddenly.
Gently, like a feather, it strokes across the tip of the heart, bringing with it strands of itching that spreads from the tip of the heart.
Besides itching, it's also a little sweet.
