Si Xinghe first glanced at Zhou Zhou's face and said with a smile: "Luoluo, follow Guan Bao home."
Zhou Qi's face is not very good-looking.
Si Niannian: "Huh? Did you go home with Guan Bao?"
The smile on Si Xinghe's face grew thicker, "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that this guy Guan Bao is quite good at acting coquettishly. He held his stomach and shouted in pain a few times, and then he successfully abducted Luoluo home. He is a good pick-up material. "
Zhou Qi's expression darkened, "Insidious."
Si Xinghe looked at him, "Seven, what you said is wrong. The word insidious is indeed a derogatory word when dealing with others to gain money, power and other benefits, but if the target becomes a loved one, That means something different.”
Zhou Zhou glanced at him sideways, "What's the difference? They're all for their own benefit. In principle, they're all the same."
Si Xinghe stretched out an index finger and waved it left and right, "No, no, no, it's different. When it is a derogatory term, it is because it hurts others while gaining one's own benefits. But when the target becomes the person you love, Who would be willing to hurt someone? It’s too late to feel distressed and cherish them. The so-called insidiousness is just a little trick for love, for a better future for two people, and it is also a little fun in love. So, this is a compliment. "
Zhou Zhou's face was full of disapproval of Si Xinghe's remarks. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to say it. He couldn't even find a point to refute.
"What about you? Will you also be 'insidious' to your beloved?"
Si Niannian originally wanted to go over and sit for a while, but suddenly stopped, feeling inexplicably that she was now superfluous.
"Uncle Third, Uncle Qi, I'm going upstairs first."
She'd better go back to her room.
Si Xinghe got up from the sofa and followed Si Niannian upstairs.
"Little princess, Third Uncle has something to tell you..."
He walked very fast and even walked in front of Si Niannian.
Zhou Zhou looked back at him, with a helpless chuckle on his lips.
After all these years, the way to change the subject is still so blunt.
Upstairs, Si Niannian's room.
After Si Xinghe came in, he randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf and sat on the sofa.
He flipped through a few pages at random, only to find that what he was holding was a medical book.
All of them were filled with professional vocabulary, which he couldn't understand at all.
Si Niannian came out of the shower and found Si Xinghe still sitting on the sofa.
"Third uncle, can you understand that book?"
Si Niannian asked.
Those smiling eyes seemed to be saying, Third Uncle, I have seen through your intentions, stop pretending.
Si Xinghe's thoughts that had flown to nowhere finally returned. He touched his nose awkwardly and put aside the medical book in his hand.
"Why don't you blow dry your hair before coming out?"
With a look of disapproval, Si Xinghe stood up and walked over, took the towel from Si Niannian's hand and wiped it with her, then brought a hair dryer to help her dry her hair.
"Uncle Third, I can use my spiritual power to dry my hair."
The movements in Si Xinghe's hands did not stop, "As for life, this is the process that you enjoy. If everything can be done with supernatural powers and spiritual power, what's the point?"
Si Niannian nodded and said in a serious tone: "Uncle San makes sense."
The only sound left in the room was the sound of the hairdryer.
After drying, Si Xinghe gently stroked Si Niannian's long hair, and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you are 18 years old and a big girl. You are no longer the little girl with a sweet voice."
Si Niannian turned around and looked at Si Xinghe with a smile, "No matter how old I get, you will always be my favorite third uncle."
She reached out, hugged Si Xinghe, and buried her head on him, "Third uncle, actually, to me, you are more than just my third uncle. You have always played the role of a father in my heart since I was a child. "
Si Xinghe was very pleased and rubbed Si Niannian's head. Then he thought of the brat next door, and his heart felt as if it was blocked by a big stone again.
"I don't know what kind of virtue that brat had in his previous life, but he can win over you in this life."
Si Niannian smiled and raised his head, "Brother Su didn't abduct me. I am the legitimate daughter of the Si family and the niece of Third Master Si. How can I be abducted so easily?"
Si Xinghe curled up his lips and pinched Si Niannian's nose, "You know how to protect him. No wonder every time I bring up the wedding banquet these years, that brat tries to change the subject. It’s because I’m afraid that the relationship between you and your brother and sister will be strengthened.”
Si Niannian grabbed his hand and shook it gently, "Third uncle, aren't sons and son-in-law the same? Besides, if I really find someone you don't know to be your son-in-law, will you feel relieved? ? At the very least, Brother Su was raised by you, so you can trust him with such a son-in-law, right? "
Si Xinghe thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. That boy Chen Su is obedient and durable. He is always available when called. With him around, I feel a lot more relaxed in the company. He is really useful. "
"Then third uncle agrees with us being together? In that case, don't be so sullen next time Brother Su comes. Brother Su, like me, treats you as a father from the beginning. You have been cold these days. He kept a straight face and didn’t pay much attention to him, and he felt very uncomfortable.”
Si Niannian smiled and helped Bu Chen express his grievances.
Si Xinghe raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Why does it sound so unreliable
Si Niannian nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true, it's just that Brother Su is not good at expressing himself and keeps everything in his mind, so you don't know."
Si Xinghe recalled the past of so many years. In fact, he treated Bu Chensu just like his own son. He would teach him what he needed, punish him when he needed it, train him when he needed it, and any opportunity that could help him experience and grow would be appreciated. Didn't let it go.
I'm afraid it's nothing more than his biological father.
"That brat has a conscience."
A smile finally appeared on Si Xinghe's face, "However, just because I agree with you being together doesn't mean that I allow him to do whatever he wants. Men and women don't have sex. You don't always go to Bu's house, and you can't go to Bu's house from now on." Stay at home, if that brat bullies you and wants to take advantage of you, just tell your third uncle and he will help you deal with him. "
"Yeah, okay." Si Niannian responded.
Anyway, saying yes is one thing, but how to do it is another.
"By the way, Third Uncle, you came up with me not just because of this matter, right? You haven't been at home these days, why are you back today?"
Si Niannian decisively changed the topic.
What if the third uncle regrets it later and disagrees with her being with brother Su
Si Xinghe didn't notice Si Niannian's little thoughts, and his attention was diverted like this.
The smile on his face faded and he sighed softly, his eyes overflowing with worry.
"Mu En and Director Yuan have been going to Huaibei Prison for several days, but so far there is no news at all."
Si Niannian's face also became serious, "Brother, haven't you called back yet?"
Si Xinghe shook his head, "Huaibei Prison is heavily guarded and no smart devices are allowed inside. But even so, Mu En should have a way to send some news back, but so far there is no news at all."
"What about the Detective Bureau? Have you asked, Third Uncle?" Si Niannian asked.
Si Xinghe sighed, "This case involves Xuanwu Lantern. It is not suitable to reveal it too much. Not many people in the Detective Bureau know about this case, and they have all been taken away by Bureau Yuan."
While he was talking, Si Niannian's cell phone suddenly rang.
Si Niannian glanced at the screen and said, "It's Sister Rong Qing."
Then she picked up the phone.
"Hey, Sister Rong Qing, are you okay with calling me so late?"
On the other end of the phone, Rong Qing stood by the window of the office, looking at the night outside. Under her calm expression, her heart was in chaos.
"Nian Nian, has your brother been in contact with you these days?"
Normally, Si Mu'en would often lose contact when performing tasks, but for some reason, Rong Qing felt very flustered this time. She was so flustered that she couldn't concentrate on anything. She even signed documents that were full of loopholes. As a result, Jian Mingxuan lost a lot of money.
"Oh, my brother is on a mission. Sister Rong Qing, as you know, the nature of his work is very special, so he is not allowed to contact the outside world during the mission." Si Niannian glanced at Si Xinghe and said.
This was Rong Qing's expected answer, and she could usually understand it. After all, she and Si Mu'en had been together for five years.
But this time, she was restless, always feeling that something was quietly changing.
Rong Qing bit her lower lip, "Well, Nian Nian, do you know where your brother is going on a mission this time?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Rong Qing regretted them.
Is she too impatient
Although Si Niannian is not a suspicious person, he is very smart. Will she notice something
"Oh, I mean, has Mu En gone abroad? I heard that the climate in the West is not very good these days, and there are frequent earthquakes in some places. I am a little worried about him." Rong Qing quickly added a few words to explain.
Si Niannian's surprised eyes faded away and he smiled, "I don't know where my brother is going to perform his mission, but sister Rong Qing, don't worry, my brother is such a big man and he will take care of himself, but you , I have to pay more attention to my health, so as not to worry my brother.”
After hanging up the phone, Si Niannian turned to look at Si Xinghe, "Sister Rong Qing is very worried about brother."
Si Xinghe also heard Rong Qing's words on the phone. Without frowning, he raised one hand and tapped the bridge of his nose twice with his index finger as usual.
"She is testing you. She wants to know the location of Mu En's mission."
"Uncle San suspects something is wrong with Sister Rong Qing?"
Si Niannian quickly thought of this, after all, Rong Qing's reaction just now was really strange.
Si Xinghe shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, but you have to remember that under no circumstances should you reveal your brother's situation to Rong Qing."
"Ok, I know."
Si Niannian nodded, "What should we do about my brother? There has been no news from him for so many days. I think we should go and take a look."
Now this is the only way.
"Okay, let's set off tomorrow."
After Si Xinghe finished speaking, he left Si Niannian's room.
…
Jian Ming Xuan, Rong Qing Office.
She was still standing by the window and hadn't moved since she hung up the phone. She kept recalling Si Niannian's words in her mind and pondering her tone.
After a long time, she walked to her desk, opened the drawer, and took out another mobile phone.
There is only one phone number stored in this phone, which is not used at all.
Clicking on the address book, Rong Qing hesitated for a moment before dialing.
"Hey, it's me."
"I want to know where Mu En is now?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "This is not something you should care about."
His voice was hoarse and neutral, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Rong Qing was a little anxious, "Then what should I be concerned about? They have already suspected me, do they want me to sit back and wait for death?"
"Ji Fan is dead. No one will testify against you anymore. Calm down and don't make me think that I have found a coward to do this."
Toot toot…
The call was hung up.
"Hello?"
"Hello!"
Rong Qing shouted twice, raised her hands in anger, and wanted to throw the phone down, but in the end, she did nothing.
All his anger was suppressed, he turned off his phone and locked it in the drawer again.
…
Early the next morning, in front of Si's house.
"Xiao Yu, you stay and wait for your uncle and the others. When they are all here, come and join us." Si Niannian said.
"Okay, Master."
Chi Zhiyu nodded, waved and watched several cars go away.
Guan Bao and An Luo came over at this time.
"Huh? Zhiyu, where is your master?" An Luo asked.
"Aunt An, uncle Guan." Chi Zhiyu nodded respectfully and greeted.
Although Guan Bao and An Luo are not very old, they are both good friends of Si Niannian. Given their seniority, Chi Zhiyu naturally does not dare to neglect them.
"The matter between my master and Bu Shao has been settled now, so master plans to take us back to Tianqing Temple to pay homage to all the masters."
An Luo nodded, "That's right. Niannian has actually wanted to go back and have a look."
Guan Bao held the spirit fruit in his hand and was chewing it. After a few mouthfuls, only the core was left, and he threw it into the trash can nearby.
Then he looked at Chi Zhiyu, "Isn't it Huitian Qingguan? Then why are you still here?"
Chi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Several uncles haven't arrived yet. Master ordered me to wait here, and then take them to meet the master."
Guan Bao still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.
"and you… "
"Okay, since Nian Nian is not here, let's go back first. Your body has not fully recovered yet, so you need to rest more."
An Luo interrupted Guan Bao and took him home.
"Luoluo, why did you bring me back? Didn't you notice that boy was lying? If someone hasn't arrived yet, why doesn't Niannian wait for everyone to arrive before setting off? Going back to the master's door is not a wedding or funeral. To marry, you have to choose someone with a good time and auspicious time.”
Guan Bao was still a little worried and wanted to go back and have a look.
"Use your mind and think about it. So many things have happened recently. Brother Mu En and the others have not come back since they left for a long time. Even if Nian Nian wants to return to the master, why would she choose this time?"
Guan Bao thought for a while, "Yes, why would Nian Nian want to return to Tianqingguan at this time?"
An Luo sighed, "Of course I was going to do other things. I didn't want to attract attention, so I said that on purpose, idiot."
An Luo reached out and poked Guan Bao's chin, but all he poked were bones.
She curled her lips and took her hands back with a look of disgust on her face, "It's so ugly to be so skinny. I need to lose some weight. I used to be so fleshy and cute."
