Zhao Qi was worried, and he opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "Young Master Cheng, if..."
Zhao Qi paused, as if afraid that he would take it seriously, and added, "I said, if... if the young master rejected you, what would you do?"
"No." Such a future seemed to have already appeared in Cheng Bai's mind, and the corners of his lips, which had been curved, drooped.
"He definitely wouldn't have done that before, but now he has an ancient orc by his side, so it's not impossible for him to refuse."
"Zhao Qi!" Cheng Bai called Zhao Qi unhappily, "Are you still my friend? You always pour cold water on me."
Zhao Qi looked innocent, and was about to explain himself: "I..."
Cheng Bai pursed his lips and interrupted Zhao Qi, saying, "I said no and it means no. If you refuse me this time, I will try again next time, and the next time, until he agrees to me or until I die."
"..." The orc's face was full of determination, and the seriousness in his eyes made Zhao Qi stunned.
His good friend has been excellent since childhood. He can easily get whatever he wants with his own strength, so he doesn't care much about anything. He treated the young master so well before because he was too easily liked by the young master, so he didn't know how to cherish...
This was the first time that Zhao Qi saw him being so serious, as if he was willing to risk his life to get the result he wanted.
As expected, people only know how to cherish something after losing it. If this was the case with the young master from the past, he would be so happy...
But the little prince is different now, he has grown up... and there is a more suitable person around him...
Zhao Qi sighed and silently handed the thing in his sleeve to Cheng Bai: "I've finished the thing you asked me to get. Here it is for you."
What was stuffed into Cheng Bai's hand was a jade hairpin, one side of which was integrated with a crystal clear pearl. Seeing this hairpin, Cheng Bai was overjoyed: "I never saw Xiao Jiaobao wearing the hairpin I gave her before. He must have disliked the ugly workmanship. I practiced for many days and finally made one. With this pearl found in the sea, he will definitely like it."
Zhao Qi didn't reply to him, but pursed her lips and said, "If you have checked the hairpin and found nothing wrong, I will leave first and go back to sleep."
Cheng Bai waved his hand and responded.
Seeing that his mind was completely focused on the banquet, Zhao Qi shook his head, said nothing more, turned around and left through the back door.
Cheng Bai placed the hairpin into an exquisite wooden box, put the box on the table, rearranged the dishes and chopsticks that had just been messed up by Pan Shulin, and looked forward to waiting for the man of his dreams to come.
However, the sky gradually darkened, and the light from the fireflies illuminated the entire Ninth Courtyard, but the man's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Chapter 136
Cheng Bai went from being delighted at first to being anxious and finally disappointed... He went from waiting at the table, to waiting at the door, to waiting outside the door... The food got cold and heated up, hot and cold... But the man never came.
Cheng Bai sat in the path in a daze, staring at the door fixedly. His whole body felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head, and he was numb from the cold.
A passionate heart gradually lost its temperature, as if it had stopped beating.
Suddenly, the fireflies on the path flickered a few times, and then floated in the air, just like the Milky Way on the ground scattered in the air. The scene was very spectacular and beautiful, but the people sitting there didn't even take a look at it, their eyes were staring at the empty door... their eyes were dim.
