"Need not."
Qiao Nian stood there without moving.
Nie Qixing turned around and paused: "You?"
Qiao Nian took out an unsealed envelope from his pocket and walked over to hand it to him: "I came here because I have something else to give you."
Nie Qixing took the thin envelope from her hand. It was about as thick as a piece of paper, which made him slightly dazed.
"What's the meaning?"
"I won't eat."
Qiao Nian raised her head, her eyes dark: "I came to see you on her behalf."
Nie Qixing became even more confused and curious about her confusing words. He held the envelope in his hand and had not yet thought of what to say.
The girl had already politely told him: "Since the things have been delivered, I won't bother you anymore."
She turned and left.
Nie Qixing watched her leave without any reluctance. The envelope in his hand aroused his curiosity even more. He lowered his head and poured out the contents of the envelope. Soon a photo floated into his palm.
That was a single photo.
The woman in the photo is smiling brightly at the camera. She looks to be in her early twenties, and her face is brighter and warmer than the sun.
Nie Qixing knew very well that he did not know the person in the photo, but the person in the photo gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
He frowned, pursed his lips, stuffed the photo back into the envelope, turned around and followed him to the banquet hall...
Outside, Qiao Nian went out a minute earlier than him and ran into Fathead Fish who was looking for Nie Qixing.
When Zhang Yin saw the person passing by him, he slowed down his anxious pace and subconsciously looked back.
"Isn't that... the man from that day?"
Before he had time to think about why Qiao Nian was here, he saw Nie Qixing coming out from the corner with something in his hand. Zhang Yin couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and a lot of scenes appeared in his mind, but business still occupied his mind, and he hurriedly walked towards Nie Qixing: "Mr. Qi, your elder is here to see you."
Nie Qixing glanced at him nonchalantly, but did not correct his address: "Where is he?"
"I'll be waiting for you at the door." Zhang Yin led him back and mentioned on the way: "He seems to be looking for someone else."
Find someone
Nie Qixing frowned for a rare moment and quickened his pace to look for Yingzi.
*
Shadow was waiting for him at the door.
Soon he saw Zhang Yin coming back with Nie Qixing.
When he saw Nie Qixing, he smiled, which was rare, and greeted Nie Qixing: "Mr. Qi."
Nie Qixing knew his identity, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of him, so he quickly supported him: "Uncle Ning, don't be polite to me, just call me Qixing."
Shadow said sternly: "The rules cannot be abolished."
Nie Qixing seemed quite helpless, but he didn't force him to change his words and just pulled him inside.
Shadow followed him in. As he and Nie Qixing walked in, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a photo that slipped out of the envelope. His face changed slightly and he stopped in his tracks: "What is this?"
Nie Qixing hasn't reacted yet.
Shadow took the photo from him and looked down at it.
When he saw the person in the photo clearly, Shadow's expression became noticeably uglier, and his hands trembled a little.
Nie Qixing didn't expect that a photo would cause such a big reaction from him, and asked him nonchalantly, "Uncle Ning, do you know the person in the photo?"
“…” Shadow’s throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible big hand and he couldn’t make a sound.
Of course he knew the people in the photo.
Because the person in the photo is Ji Qing!
