Cold field.
"Are you sure?" Tang Xi asked.
"Of course." Pei Qingzhi nodded, and asked politely, "Can I ask him to come out?"
"..." Tang Xi was dumbfounded, and raised her left hand.
Yun Qi could hear everything they said, so she didn't need to repeat it.
Suddenly, there was another person in the seat next to Tang Xi.
Yun Qi was dressed in white, and even if he had short hair, it would not damage the beauty of his face. Sitting by the window, the sunlight dyed his white shirt a layer of gold, and his hand on the table was clearly knit.
The waiter just brought up the cold plate. When he saw one more person, his face was filled with annoyance and confusion. He quickly apologized and went to get another set of tableware.
As a high-end restaurant like Sheng Tang, it's too remiss of me not to notice what kind of customers come in! But... there should be people at the door all the time.
"Aren't you surprised?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows.
"If you only want me to see it alone, you won't change into a dress that fits the times." Pei Qingzhi said calmly.
Yun Qi chuckled, picked up the chopsticks, picked some green bamboo shoots, put them on the small plate in front of him, and tasted them.
"You, can you eat these?" Pei Qingzhi was rather shocked by the fact that he could eat human food.
"Ordinary ghosts can't do it, but I can." Yun Qi said plainly, "Even though it's not good to eat, you have to use resentment to get rid of it. It's just a new taste."
Only then did Pei Qingzhi feel relieved, and then brought the topic back: "What do you think of what I just said?"
"Can you guarantee that the house will be built exactly like the one I drew?" Yun Qi asked.
"Of course." Pei Qingzhi affirmed before explaining, "You are a painter, not an architect. It is impossible for a worker to build such a house just by looking at a painting. I need a professional designer to draw a design draft according to the intention. , what I can guarantee is that the final house will be more than 90% similar to the picture.”
"Ninety percent..." Yun Qi muttered to himself, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Last time I heard that you are going to build a villa complex? How many buildings are there?"
"20 buildings." Pei Qingzhi replied immediately.
"I can draw 20 completely different drawings for you," Yun Qi said.
Pei Qingzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then a burst of surprise welled up in his heart. Generally speaking, in a villa area, the houses built are all similar, which is for an overall aesthetic. After all, if the styles of each villa are different, the whole will look nondescript, and the unified style must be different for each one. This is too demanding for the designer. One person can't do it, and several people are not coordinated, making It's not good, it's better to be the same.
However, if Yun Qi can draw another 19 pictures that are all at the same level as the one in hand, and form a series of its own, then the meaning will be different.
Qingxixia villa area can become the benchmark of ancient garden communities in China. This program is aimed at top-tier clients, who are willing to pay as long as they can really attract them.
"Conditions?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
Yunqi is a ghost, and money may not work.
Sure enough, Yun Qi stretched out a finger and tapped the painting on the table.
"You want... the house in this painting?" Pei Qingzhi thought for a while.
"Yeah." Yun Qi nodded coldly.
Pei Qingzhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think it's possible, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle the procedures."
After all, ghosts have no identity and household registration.
Yun Qi nodded to Tang Xi again.
"Okay, I'll solve this problem." Tang Xi smiled helplessly.
Yun Qi glanced at her and slowly disappeared.
"Then, I'll discuss the details with Mr. Pei," Tang Xi said frankly.
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi's biggest trouble has been resolved, and he is in a relaxed mood, "Let's eat first, and chat while eating, and we will discuss a preliminary charter today, and we will talk about the details after drawing up the contract—do you need to hire a lawyer? "
"No, just leave it to Lawyer Chen, I trust him." Tang Xi waved his hand.
Even if they don't talk about friendship, Pei Qingzhi knows who she is, and what a ghost Yun Qi is, if he dares to set a trap for her, he will really die! So have fun.
The waiter just brought up hot dishes, a dish of hibiscus chicken, a dish of boiled shrimp, and a small bowl of dark green paste, nothing could be seen.
However, looking at the vacant chair, she couldn't help being puzzled—where is it
She just went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, and she heard from the cleaning staff that she had to mop the floor quickly while no one was around, but she didn't see anyone coming in just now, and now she hasn't seen anyone going out... This is too stupid! It is a serious contempt for their service quality in Tang Dynasty!
"My friend left earlier." Tang Xi kindly explained.
Even if you find it strange, but the guests didn't say anything, Sheng Tang will not go to check the surveillance, right
"Okay, take your time, both of you." The waiter had no choice but to pull out a stiff smile, swallowing the question back to his heart.
Forget it, anyway, the guests don't care about it, so there's no need to be hard on your colleagues, everyone makes mistakes, right
"Try it." Pei Qingzhi put the small bowl in front of Tang Xi, and introduced, "This is pea puree, dessert before dinner, try it."
"So ordinary?" Tang Xi was a little surprised.
"Dishes in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the ingredients are very common, and you can buy them in the vegetable market, but there is nothing so exaggerated as the steak and seafood brought over by night air. The test is the level of the chef." Pei Qingzhi smiled, and recommended a few more for her. The dishes that were served afterwards.
Sweet and sour pork, steamed mandarin fish, and eight-treasure tofu are indeed very common dishes, but the taste is excellent, and the amount of each plate is not much. Even girls can try many dishes without being overwhelmed.
However, although Tang Xi was very satisfied, she still didn't feel that any dish was worthy of the "signature".
The staple food until the end is a bowl of noodles.
"That's it?" Tang Xi stared in disbelief at the small bowl in front of her, which was nothing more than thin noodles and soup, without any additions.
Commonly known as - Yangchun noodles.
Although this name is well-known in many martial arts novels, it seems that if you have not eaten Yangchun noodles, you are not considered a gangster, but in fact, the so-called Yangchun noodles are really... vermicelli in clear soup.
Just find a noodle restaurant, a few yuan a bowl, a large amount, and the favorite of migrant workers on the construction site.
No one thought that someone would use Yangchun noodles as a signboard.
Pei Qingzhi suppressed a smile and nodded, his brows and eyes were curved, as if he felt that her expression could please him.
Tang Xi picked up the chopsticks, picked out a noodle, put it into his mouth and tasted it. After swallowing it, he took another sip of the soup, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"How is it?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"Pork bone is the base, and the soup base should be boiled with eel bone, at least five hours." Tang Xi said, taking another sip of the soup happily.
"The tongue is good." Pei Qingzhi praised him.
Tang's Yangchun noodles can become a signature. Of course, there is a secret recipe for the soup base, but Tang Xi is not wrong about the most important part.
"Dingling~" At this moment, the bell hanging at the gate rang, and someone pushed the door open.
Pei Qingzhi's seat was directly facing the door, and he subconsciously looked up, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
What I saw walking in was a young man wrapped in a long black long woolen coat. His hair was slightly long, his face was pale, and he wore a black hat on his head. It was completely the dressing style of the last century.
Seeing him looking over, the man nodded, and then walked to a table against the wall and sat down.
However, the strange thing is that several waiters from Shengtang passed by him, but none of them came forward to ask for the menu, and their attitudes were completely different from when they came in before.
The man in black didn't seem to be angry either, he just sat there silently and didn't intend to call out.
When the waiter brought up the fruit after the meal, Pei Qingzhi finally couldn't help but asked tactfully: "You...is the welcome bell at the door broken?"
He didn't know if the welcoming bell was broken or not, but it did ring just now, maybe it was the waiter's eyes and ears that were broken
The waiter glanced blankly at the gate, then glanced around the entire first floor, with the same expression on his face, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, the bell is not broken, but there seems to be something wrong with the gate recently, obviously there is no one there. , it will turn on automatically occasionally, probably because it is too sensitive, the manager here has already called someone to fix it, I am very sorry if it has caused trouble to the two of you."
"..." Pei Qingzhi was stunned.
"It's okay, it's probably windy recently." Tang Xi excused with a smile.
The waiter agreed with a smile, complaining that no matter how strong the wind was, the electronic sensor door would not be blown open, but seeing that they had no other intentions, he retreated.
"You knew earlier?" Pei Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
Tang Xi poked a piece of honeydew melon with a delicate silver fork and put it into his mouth. After admiring his expression enough, he said, "Close your right eye and look again."
Pei Qingzhi was startled, and raised his hand to cover his right eye by pushing his hair away.
Looking over with half of his eyes, sure enough, the seat is empty, where is there anyone? But as soon as he let go, the man in black still nodded and smiled at him, as if to show that he was right.
Pei Qingzhi only felt a gust of cold air rising from the soles of his feet, which could almost freeze the blood of a person, and he slowly relaxed after a while.
"You are not familiar with Tianyan, temporarily unable to distinguish between things that exist in reality and things that should not be seen." Tang Xi explained with a smile, "After a long time, you will get used to it."
"No..." Pei Qingzhi pointed to the red string on his wrist suspiciously, "Didn't you say that if you wear this next to your body, you won't be able to see it?"
"There is another sentence." Tang Xi looked innocent.
Pei Qingzhi paused, and said in disbelief, "Can he... be compared with Yun Qi?"
At least in his eyes, the man in black was really no different from a living person except for his excessive paleness.
"I don't know if I haven't fought before." Tang Xi shrugged.
"!!!" Pei Qingzhi looked at her in surprise.
Tang Xi laughed "puchi" and said, "Don't worry, I'm still there. I can't lose in a two-on-one match."
Pei Qingzhi smiled wryly, has he been unlucky recently? If you go out to eat, you can see hell, and unfortunately you will meet the most powerful one.
Suddenly, the man in black stood up and walked straight towards them.
Pei Qingzhi shrank his eyes and forced himself not to look at it, but he couldn't see it at all on the surface.
The man in black sat down on the other side of the table, smiled and said, "Handsome sir, beautiful lady, good afternoon."
"Sorry." Pei Qingzhi said to Tang Xi.
"I've long been used to trouble coming to me automatically." Tang Xi shrugged, picked up another grape, and said casually, "On the premise that you are very discerning and don't disturb my meal, I'll give you ten minutes. "
The man in black was not angry, but said: "I have a lover, a very beautiful and gentle human girl."
"Ahem..." Tang Xi choked on the first sentence, turned her head, and said earnestly, "This... big brother, wake up, how can you fall in love with different races?"
"Perhaps when he was still a human?" Pei Qingzhi guessed, but then said to the man in black, "But when a person dies, everything disappears. It's better to end the past, so as not to harm others or yourself."
"I owe her an apology, but unfortunately I have no chance to tell her. Now her time is running out, and I don't want her to leave with regrets." The man in black lowered his politeness, lowered his head, He said solemnly, "Please."
Tang Xi chewed and ate the grapes slowly, spat out the skins and seeds, and said leisurely: "I have received a lot of human commissions, but not human commissions... What reward can you give?"
The man in black was obviously taken aback.
"It seems that you really know me." Tang Xi smiled, "I will indeed help ghosts fulfill their wish without charging any price, but that is... last wish. I accept their last wish and let them disappear with peace of mind. But you ... You don't want to disappear? Or let me put it another way, can you disappear?"
"No." The man in black smiled wryly.
"So, I'm quite curious about what you are?" Tang Xi rested her chin on one hand, her tone purely probing, "His eyes can see you but others can't, which proves that you are indeed a ghost, but I always feel that you are The breath is not quite right, not quite like a ghost."
"I'm... ghost cultivator." The man in black said after a moment of silence.
"Ghost repair?" Tang Xi read it once, shaking his head, apparently not believing it.
Yunqi can also be regarded as a ghost cultivator, but they are still completely different. It is not a question of who is strong and who is weak, but that their composition is completely different. difference between.
"What do you want?" The man in black said seriously, "I really don't have any worldly money or anything, but I'm strong, and I can help you with one thing."
"You are very powerful, but what does it matter to me?" Tang Xi said calmly, "I don't lack powerful ghost envoys, and the one who signed a contract with me obviously reassures me that you have an unknown origin. Yes, I still have to worry about you stabbing me in the back."
"You want...a contract?" The man in black thought for a while before realizing it.
"We all need a guarantee, don't we?" Tang Xi said.
"Yes." The man in black put his hand on the table, and soon, a little bit of black light condensed, and the table gradually appeared in the shape of a piece of parchment, with characters flickering on it, slowly forming words.
Finally, a somewhat stiff signature: Xie Changan.
Tang Xi scanned the contract and confirmed that there was no problem. Her spiritual power condensed on her fingertips and wrote the word "Tang Xi".
The name flickered and then disappeared, only the three words "Xie Chang'an" remained on and off.
"Real name contract?" Tang Xi was shocked.
"We all need a guarantee." Xie Changan replied in her own words.
"I just didn't expect that real name contracts could still be seen in this world." Tang Xi smiled, gathered her spiritual power again, and wrote another name: Tang Lingxi.
This time, the name was left behind, and then the entire contract disintegrated, turned into two halves, and entered into the hearts of the two respectively.
"The contract is established." Xie Chang'an's pale face showed a gleam of joy.
"Okay, now tell me your last wish... ah no, entrust it." Tang Xi said.
The corner of Xie Changan's mouth twitched, he stood up and said, "Look at your phone."
"Oh, go slowly." Tang Xi waved his hand.
"Dingling~Dingling~"
"Why did something go wrong again? When will the door repairer come?" The waiter floated over from afar and muttered to himself.
Pei Qingzhi relaxed his body and asked curiously, "Why did you agree to him?"
Only then did Tang Xi elicit a smug smile, like a little fox who has eaten grapes: "I really didn't expect to see it... Forget it, it's better that you don't know, as long as you understand, if you get his condition, Blood is worth it!"
Hearing what she said, Pei Qingzhi didn't ask any further questions, but paused before saying, "Tang Lingxi?"
"Oh, that's the relationship of the real name contract." Tang Xi poked a piece of watermelon while explaining, "The real name contract directly binds the souls of both parties, and only recognizes a unique name. And like ghosts and ghosts, who have been in the world for a long time, there must be some It's not a lie to use your own human name as a name, but the only thing that can be left on the real name contract is the name of the ghost that was born."
"Lingxi, is that your real name?" Pei Qingzhi was stunned.
"Xuanmen Taoist name, given by my master." Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "After Master is gone, only you and Yun Qi will know in this world, oh, and that Xie Chang'an."
Pei Qingzhi was startled, and inexplicably, a trace of satisfaction flowed from the bottom of her heart.
After a while, he asked worriedly: "Do you really know the identity of that Xie Changan?"
"En." Tang Xi responded casually, raised her hand, and a spell was formed in her palm and then spread out, "Do you know what kind of charm this is?"
Pei Qingzhi shook his head.
Tang Xi leaned closer, and when Pei Qingzhi subconsciously leaned over, he smiled and uttered two words: "Secret."
"You..." Pei Qingzhi was stunned, then laughed.
"Okay, I'm full. Thank you President Pei for your hospitality." Tang Xi picked up her handbag and stood up. "As for the contract, after the contract is drawn up, just let Lawyer Chen talk to me."
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi greeted the waiter to come over and swipe the card, and walked in front, "I'll take you back."
"Thank you." Tang Xi was not polite.
However, when she saw Pei Qingzhi's car in the parking lot, she was still taken aback, and after checking the license plate, she was sure that it was the one Pei Qingzhi drove every day.
Because... a huge red fox sat in the back seat, almost occupying the space of two people. Fortunately, it was soft, otherwise it might not be able to fit in.
"Boss Pei's hobbies are really special." Tang Xi said dryly, yelling badly in her heart.
Could it be his own harm? Let him be Hello Kitty for too long, and ended up breaking the aesthetics of a straight man into this ghostly look!
"It's for you." Pei Qingzhi said softly, "Also, happy birthday."
"Ah?" Tang Xi was dumbfounded, "For me? Birthday?"
Pei Qingzhi smiled and explained: "Although the birthday on your ID card is the day after tomorrow, you were not born the day after tomorrow, right? Tang Jing's birthday is your real birthday, and the Tang family organizes their eldest daughter's birthday Yes, all the invitations have been sent to me, of course I know."
"..." Tang Xi was dumbfounded.
"You and Tang Zhenying terminated the paternity relationship... But I don't think Tang Zhenying really found the wrong daughter." Pei Qingzhi said frankly, "With your ability, it is too easy to change a small paternity test."
Tang Xi actually wanted to say that although you guessed it all right, but... today is indeed not her birthday.
In the previous life, she was an abandoned baby, who was thrown into the mountains to fend for herself, but her master picked her up and brought her up with care, and only then did Tang Xi, the Xuanmen, come into existence.
She never knew when her birthday was, and she could only roughly guess that it was summer.
She is not proficient in miscellaneous knowledge such as divination, and there is also a reason that people who do not have a birthday, of course, do not have a birth date. I don't even know my own date of birth, and there are some things that I can't learn at all.
After living for more than twenty years, she has never celebrated a birthday.
Didn't know, didn't think the days of being abandoned were worth celebrating.
However, now there is someone who said "Happy Birthday" to her in an ordinary way and gave her a gift.
"What's wrong?" Pei Qingzhi asked in surprise, "You... don't you like it?"
"I like it!" Tang Xi held back her tears, instead of taking the co-pilot, she opened the door of the back seat and got in, hugged the giant Ahri and rubbed it, "It's so warm, put it on the living room floor as a pawn." Pillows are the best."
"As long as you like it." Pei Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
Back in Fengya Jiangnan, Tang Xi refused Pei Qingzhi's help, and went upstairs with Ahri, who was taller than her.
However, it was really inconvenient to open the door with a card. Thinking that Chu Li seemed to be on vacation today, he kicked the door with his toe.
"Come on..." Chu Li was indeed at home, but when he opened the door, he saw a huge fox doll. He almost didn't shoot him right away, because his mental quality was good.
"It's me." Tang Xi reluctantly poked her head out from behind the fox.
"What is this?" Chu Li asked dumbly.
"Ari." Tang Xi explained solemnly, "Ari, a popular original animation image in China, has a cute, warm, childish personality, and has always believed in fairy tales. It was created by Hans in 2006. It began to be serialized on the Internet and magazines, and a fairy tale picture book was published. and animated short films. Please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia for details.”
"..." Chu Li was silent for a while, and said angrily, "Of course I know this red fox! I'm asking you why you brought a fox back from a meal!"
I'm really going to be pissed off, these days there aren't many Ahri in the chat emoticons, it's strange if I don't know her, she must have done it on purpose!
"Birthday present, Mr. Pei gave it." Tang Xi blinked with an innocent expression.
"Sent by Pei Qingzhi?" Chu Li's expression was indescribable.
Today should be "Tang Xi"'s real birthday. Since Pei Qingzhi sent someone to help her with the lawsuit, he knew that there was nothing wrong with it. But this stupid and cute fox... Shouldn't Pei Qingzhi's gifts be custom-made jewelry, designer clothes and bags? Even giving a car is more reliable than giving a... doll
"Reciprocity." Tang Xi put Ari on the floor stand in the living room, and nodded with satisfaction.
It's very suitable, and Yueyue will definitely like it too!
Chu Li thought of Hello Kitty on Pei Qingzhi's birthday, and shook his head speechlessly.
OK, as long as you two are happy!
Tang Xi turned around, but her eyes fell on the dining table.
It was an exquisite paper box tied with a ribbon. She also recognized the logo printed on it. It was a well-known cake shop not far from Yigao. Occasionally, she would eat there with Qi Sihui after school.
"It's a birthday anyway, at least blow out candles and cut a cake?" Chu Li sighed and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I haven't bought these before, so I asked Su Forensic Doctor, she recommended this flavor to me .”
"Thank you." Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xi rushed over and hugged him fiercely.
It turned out that someone really remembered her and took her to heart.
"Hey, little girl, I'm not used to you like this." Chu Li felt that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
Knowing that this girl had a rough life, it is estimated that no one has given her a good birthday before, but he really can't hold such an emotional scene, do you want to comfort her? What if you cry! I won't coax! Hug back
"I won't cry!" Tang Xi gritted her teeth, let go of him, and kicked him.
Chu Li didn't care if he accidentally said something, but he was relieved to see that she had returned to normal.
I opened the ribbon carton, and inside was a 6-inch small cake with matcha flavor, with the words "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate on it.
Tang Xi lit 17 candles, then brought the whole cake to the stall, and put it with Ari. She leaned on Ari and gestured with her head.
Chu Li understood, picked up his phone and took a picture and sent it to her.
Tang Xi accepted it with a smile. She wanted to send it to Moments, but after thinking about it, she pressed it again.
In order to save some trouble, she decided to wait until the day after tomorrow, the birthday on her ID card, to send it out.
Chu Li simply sat down on the carpet, and many ghosts appeared one after another beside him.
Aunt Zhang, Yueyue mother and daughter, Yu Mingfan, Su Huang, and finally Yun Qi stood indifferently on the outermost periphery.
"Can I make a wish?" Tang Xi clasped his hands together and looked at Chu Li with bright eyes.
"Perhaps." Chu Li was startled, and nodded without thinking.
"Great!" Tang Xi immediately pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from the schoolbag next to him and stuffed it to him: "Please~~~"
Chu Li was shaken by her sweet voice, but when he saw the words on the paper, he suddenly exploded: "Go to your parent meeting! You actually asked me to hold the parent meeting!"
"You are my guardian, whoever will go if you don't!" Tang Xili said confidently.
"No!" Chu Li glared at her.
Let him, a good young man, hold a parent-teacher meeting for high school girls with a group of uncles and aunts? He is famous all his life!
"No! You promised me to make a wish, and your words don't count!" Tang Xi grabbed a handful of cream from the cake and spread it on his face.
Chu Li was caught off guard by her face covered in cream, paused, and immediately wiped it back. When it comes to physical skills, he is really not afraid of Tang Xi.
"This is fun!" Su Huang's eyes lit up, and she immediately joined in. When she was alive, cake was still a rarity, and there was not enough to eat, so how could it be used for cream fights.
Although other ghosts can't touch living people, it's okay to hit people with cream or something. Of course, at the beginning, the ghosts helped Tang Xi to besiege and beat Chuli. In the end, the battle line expanded and it turned into a big melee. Except for Ari, who was protected by Tang Xi's spiritual power, the two of them and the surrounding carpet sofas were safe and sound. All the walls suffered.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Tang Xi said while lying on the ground.
"No hard work, no hard work, it's rare to see Xixi so happy like a child, it's great!" Aunt Zhang was full of relief.
"Smelly girl, you're not cute at all." Chu Li, who was lying next to her, was even more miserable. Although he is good at martial arts, he couldn't resist Tang Xi not opening his yin and yang eyes, he couldn't see it!
"There is one piece of cake left, mine." Tang Xi said.
"No one is robbing you." Chu Li waved his hand, didn't bother to move, just stared at the snow-white ceiling, a little dazed.
Since I went overseas as an undercover agent that year, how long... haven't I been this crazy... Maybe, such a life is not bad
In the end, the only thing left... a small piece of cake that was left on purpose was still divided into two halves, and the two of them ate one half of each.
Tang Xi went to take a shower, rinsed off the cream from her hair, and came out with a change of home clothes. The living room was basically clean, but the carpet and sofa cover were taken to the laundry room, and new ones hadn't been laid yet.
"Happy?" Yun Qi appeared beside her.
"It seems so." Tang Xi thought for a while, then nodded, "Yun Qi, I don't have a birthday, so I will treat today as my birthday from now on, okay?"
"As long as you're happy." Yun Qi replied.
Her current body was indeed born today. Although many things have changed after the fusion of the soul and body, the birth date of the original owner still has a certain effect on her.
"I'm very happy." Tang Xi didn't mind sitting directly on the floor, hugging the chubby Ahri, and repeated it earnestly.
