"It tastes good." Chu Xun said reluctantly.
"Really?" Xie Qingcheng believed it, and sent the other two cakes of the same style to Chu Xun, "You actually like this kind of cake, I thought you didn't like cakes. Since you like it, then these are yours." Yes. You haven’t eaten much since you came in, I ate it all, so I’ll give it to you.”
Looking at the fragrant cake in front of him, Chu Xun felt like crying. Tell you to be a hero, now that the retribution has arrived, you are really self-inflicted.
"Chu Xun, do you still have that stone with you?" Xie Qingcheng asked casually.
Hearing someone call its name, the stone hanging under Chu Xun's coat wanted to fly up to greet him. Sensing the movement of the stone, Chu Xun quickly pushed it down. Even though Chu Xun trusted Xie Qingcheng very much, he thought that he had done a good job of keeping secrets and was shocked by Xie Qingcheng's sudden question.
"Stone, what kind of stone?" Chu Xun decided to play dumb to see if Xie Qingcheng mentioned it casually.
Unfortunately, Xie Qingcheng just asked casually.
"It's the stone accessory you said your mother gave you. It looks like the one without the flying saucer. Didn't you bring it with you? I thought you had it, and I wanted to borrow it to have a look. If you didn't bring it, forget it , next time you take me to watch."
I don't know what Xie Qingcheng meant when he asked about the stone, but out of trust in Xie Qingcheng, Chu Xun still comforted the stone that was about to move with his hands to make it calm, then took it out and put it on the table, saying: " I wear it. I said it was from my mother, and of course I wear it every day. But this stone accessory doesn’t match my clothes today, so I put it under my coat, so you didn’t see it. You want Look, I'll show you."
Xie Qingcheng finished eating what was in her hand, then picked up the stone and observed it carefully.
"It doesn't look like anything special." Xie Qingcheng said to himself, "Why would anyone want this thing?"
Chu Xun was stunned, picked up scented tea to drink, and asked pretending not to care: "Who would want this thing? Isn't this just a stone. Stones are the most indispensable thing in the interstellar world. If it weren't for this thing, my mother It was given to me, it looks very unique, and I don’t always carry it with me like this.”
"Yeah, I also think that stones are important." Xie Qingcheng frowned, looking very unacceptable, "But my second brother was chased and killed by others because of an inexplicable stone, which is really weird. "
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
Chu Xun choked and coughed again and again, Xie Qingcheng quickly handed over a handkerchief, looked at Chu Xun with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Xun blushed, and he was really choked.
"You don't know how to be careful, and I didn't say anything, and you were choked." Xie Qingcheng looked contemptuous.
"You haven't said anything yet!" Chu Xun finally recovered his breath, and said angrily, "You actually told me that you were still being chased and killed because of a stone. Hmph, I'm choking now."
"Whoever said we were hunted down, it was my second brother. Didn't I just say that my eldest brother and I bought our second brother at an auction, and my second brother was killed at the auction because he was hunted down? The people who were rescued had no money to repay the debt, and then they sold themselves.”
"You don't seem to have said that!" Chu Xun looked at Xie Qingcheng resentfully, his face full of condemnation.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Chu Xun nodded heavily.
"Hehe, I might have forgotten." Xie Qingcheng smiled embarrassedly.
Chu Xun waved his hand indifferently, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on, why was your second brother hunted down because of a stone?"
"That stone looks similar to yours. It's just that there is no hat, only the ball underneath, and it's the same size." Xie Qingcheng didn't hide anything from Chu Xun, and Ji Hanling and Ouyang Li didn't tell her about it either. Keep it secret, so Xie Qingcheng told Chu Xun that there is no pressure.
"Your second brother is too unlucky." After hearing the whole story, Chu Xun suspected that the group of people who chased and killed Ouyang Li knew the secret of the stone, but he didn't want to say it in front of Xie Qingcheng, "Maybe they are not The one who chased and killed your brother because of that stone. Anyway, I think so. Think about it, who would kill someone because of a very ordinary stone, or such a small stone. There may be something in the big one, but the stone It's so small, what can it hold?"
"Maybe, your second brother offended someone because of other things, but he didn't know, and then your second brother happened to be chased and killed. They may be suspicious, and people think your second brother is because of stones. Being hunted down is actually just a smoke bomb they released to cover up their original purpose. Perhaps this incident is a vendetta."
"Yeah, we think it's because of the stone, everyone cared about the stone, and in the end those people ran away. The direction was wrong at the beginning, so the murderer has never been found." Xie Qingcheng suddenly became cheerful, "I am, why big brother After searching for so long with the two uncles, we couldn't find the murderer who hunted down and killed the second brother, so it turned out that we were looking in the wrong direction."
Xie Qingcheng stood up immediately, and was about to leave as soon as he said: "Chu Xun, I'm going back first. I want to tell my elder brother and the others about this, so that they can find the murderer as soon as possible."
Hearing that Xie Qingcheng said that he wanted to tell Ji Hanling, Chu Xun couldn't help but feel guilty. The words he said were coaxing Xie Qingcheng, and Ji Hanling knew there was something wrong when he heard it, and he would definitely suspect him. Chu Xun looked at Xie Qingcheng who had no plans, gritted his teeth, and said, "Qingcheng, is the stone that your second brother got still in your second brother's hand?"
"No, it's in my elder brother's hands. The elder brother said it was not safe for the second brother to hold it, so he confiscated it."
In Ji Hanling's hands, Chu Xun was even less confident. If the stone was really the same as the one in his hand, Chu Xun would definitely get it, but in Ji Hanling's hands, Chu Xun didn't have the confidence to take that thing from him. Chu Xun thought for a while, and finally decided to go back and discuss with his second brother before talking.
"Qingcheng, are you in a hurry to go back?"
"Yes." Xie Qingcheng nodded, "Go back and tell Big Brother about this, lest they go in the wrong direction."
"Uh... Then you better not tell Captain Ji the speculation I told you."
"Why?"
"Well," Chu Xun didn't know how to explain it for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I will bring my second brother to visit Ouyang's house in the evening, and then I will come and talk to Captain Ji in person."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Qingcheng also found the concealment in Chu Xun's words, and was a little unhappy, "What things can't be told to me, and you still have to tell my brother alone?"
Seeing that Xie Qingcheng misunderstood, Chu Xun immediately explained: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I can't tell you now. We will talk again in the evening, and I will tell you everything you want to know."
"Okay." Xie Qingcheng was not a caring person, so he quickly forgot about this unpleasantness. After leaving the dessert house, Chu Xun took Xie Qingcheng to many interesting places in Triumph Star because he was not in a hurry to go home immediately. These places are places that girls like to go to, and Chu Xun specially asked people to check them. Xie Qingcheng didn't know about Chu Xun's intentions, but she had a great time, and her friendship with Chu Xun became deeper consciously.
After a happy day, Chu Xun sent Xie Qingcheng to the door of his house. Because it was agreed to visit at night, Chu Xun did not get out of the car, but said goodbye to Xie Qingcheng in the car and left.
Holding various beautiful little gifts from Chu Xun, Xie Qingcheng happily walked into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ji Hanling sitting on the sofa watching the communicator, and Ouyang Li sitting on the other side playing games. The two were very focused and ignored each other.
"Big Brother, Second Brother." Xie Qingcheng asked the home robot to deliver some gifts to her room, and greeted Ji Hanling and Ouyang Li happily.
Ji Hanling and Ouyang Li knew that Xie Qingcheng was back when Chu Xun sent Xie Qingcheng to the door. Knowing that my younger sister went to play with a boy for a long time and came back with a smile on her face, the hearts of the two were very complicated. Not wanting Xie Qingcheng to see their strangeness, the two pretended to be busy when Xie Qingcheng stepped into the living room, but in fact they kept paying attention to Xie Qingcheng.
"Dandan is back, did you enjoy yourself?" Ji Hanling asked the robot to bring Xie Qingcheng a cup of milk.
"En." Xie Qingcheng nodded, "I didn't even know that there are so many interesting things on Triumph Star. If it didn't show up today and take me out, I always thought that Triumph Star was a military star, all of which were military facilities. There is no entertainment." Xie Qingcheng handed some gifts to Ji Hanling and Ouyang Li, "Here, this is what I bought for the elder brother and the second brother. I bought it with the money I earned, although they are all very expensive. Ordinary handmade products, but it is very interesting to make, I don’t know if you like it or not.”
"A gift for me." Ouyang Li immediately took it happily, and opened it directly, "Wow, it turned out to be the latest handmade mech model. Haha, I knew my sister was the best for me, and I said I was ready for this thing." I’ll make a reservation when I have the money, but I didn’t expect it to be available now. Haha, it’s better to be my sister.”
Xie Qingcheng's gift to Ji Hanling was a miniature version of the air fleet model, which is not only valuable for collection, but also the aircraft on the fleet can move, and it is used by advanced psychics to train their psychic power. Seeing this thing, Ji Hanling was also very happy. Things are not important, but the heart is important. Ji Hanling and Ouyang Li were very moved by Xie Qingcheng's heart.
"Thank you Dandan, I like the gift you gave me very much. My Dandan has grown up and knows how to give my brother a gift. My brother is very happy." Ji Hanling stroked Xie Qingcheng's little head with a look of relief, "Dandan today Are you having fun? Eldest brother has been very busy and has no time to take you to play. Eldest brother also wants to thank the third highness, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the third highness."
