You guys won’t believe it even if I tell you (1)
Bai Qi and Uncle Xi didn’t talk for long.
It was because the horse by the wall couldn’t wait any longer and started to kick its hooves. The three bodyguards at the bottom began to coax the horse with straw in their arms, but the horse’s wail was still louder than ever.
Uncle Xi unhappily said, “Let’s stop here for now.”
Bai Qi nodded and got up to head out.
He had only just reached the corner of the stairs when he bumped into Xi Chengyun.
“Is someone looking for you?” Xi Chengyun asked while raising his head.
Uncle Xi stood upstairs, looking down, and collided with his gaze.
“Did Uncle say anything to you?” Xi Chengyun immediately asked out loud.
Bai Qi: “Oh.” He asked in a low voice, “Xi-laoshi, do you want to come and share some of the stolen money?”
When Xi Chengyun heard that his tone was light, he knew it wasn’t a big deal. Xi Chengyun laughed softly, “Stolen money?”
“Mm, Uncle increased the price to thirty million dollars…..”
Xi Chengyun’s eyelids twitched, holding Bai Qi’s shoulders with a slight force, and he asked, “And then? What did you say?”
Bai Qi said casually, “Mm, Uncle also said he wanted to give me pictures of you in open-crotch pants and you naked in the bathtub.”
Xi Chengyun: “……”
The end of Xi Chengyun’s eyebrow was raised lightly. He smiled calmly and said, “Mm, it’s fine if you want to see it now.”
Bai Qi:?
‘Too flirtatious, too flirtatious.’
Bai Qi: “I don’t really want to.”
Xi Chengyun: “Why does Qi Qi not want it? Does Qi Qi not want to see it?”
Bai Qi:?
‘Xi-laoshi, you’ve changed.’
‘Since you’ve become like this, I……’
Bai Qi whispered, “To see how…… small Xi-laoshi was when he was little?”
Xi Chengyun: “……”
He and Bai Qi stared at each other without knowing what to do.
Xi Chengyun laughed from anger, pinching his chin and lifting his face, then bit his lips in one mouthful.
However, in the end, he was reluctant to use too much strength and let go after biting a little bit.
But even so, Bai Qi’s breath still hitched, as if his whole body was wrapped up in Xi-laoshi’s aura.
Xi Chengyun lightly patted the back of Bai Qi’s head. “Don’t look at my childhood. Look at the present.”
Bai Qi licked his lips.
When Xi Chengyun led him back upstairs, Bai Qi answered in a low voice, “Okay then.”
‘Okay then? What the hell is that?’
A bit of mirth welled up in the bottom of Xi Chengyun’s eyes, but he didn’t make a sound to expose it.
Uncle Xi had already been discovered anyway, so he didn’t hide anymore, which meant the horse at the foot of the wall was neighing a little louder.
“Will you go down and have a cup of tea?” Xi Chengyun stood in front of him and asked politely.
Uncle Xi: “No.” His cold and rigid face twitched slightly, and he slowly expressed as if he had been struck by lightning and disgusted enough.
“Inappropriate occasions,” He said nonchalantly.
Xi Chengyun’s posture was calm. “This occasion is very appropriate. The dark and winding corridor, with dimly lit wall lamps hanging on the wall, and the fragrance of flowers from the tea party downstairs will float up……”
Uncle Xi: “Ha.”
Hearing Xi Chengyun say this, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Because just now, he hadn’t paid any attention to these things. It was as if his eyes were filled with nothing but Xi-laoshi.
Bai Qi felt that Xi-laoshi’s face still needed to be protected by himself.
So he followed after him and said, “Mm, this place is especially suitable. It will enhance both parties’ feelings unobtrusively.”
Xi Chengyun’s heart moved slightly.
‘Enhance both parties’ feelings. Is that what Qi Qi thinks?’
‘Then how much has the feelings in Qi Qi’s heart increased?’
On the other side, Uncle Xi also had a thoughtful look.
He didn’t say “ha” or “heh” again. After a long time, four words came out of his throat, “That slightly makes sense.”
This time, it was Xi Chengyun’s turn to reveal a mildly confused look.
“Is there anything else?” Uncle Xi took the initiative to ask.
Bai Qi shook his head. “No more.”
Uncle Xi thought about it and decided that he could apply what he just learned. “There’s a toilet on the second floor. Ask your aunt if she needs to go to the bathroom.”
Bai Qi agreed readily, “Okay. But I don’t think it’ll work.”
Uncle, who had just become a student and still had a bit of a rebellious ego, insisted, “It’ll work.”
Bai Qi didn’t argue with him and nodded as he left with Xi Chengyun.
Xi Chengyun now realized what was going on.
For some reason, his uncle suddenly became very obedient to Bai Qi.
When he first stepped into the Bai family’s door, he didn’t know how to please the Bai parents. On the other hand, Qi Qi had already won over his uncle and aunt as soon as he arrived at the door.
‘Why is Qi Qi so great?’
The corner of Xi Chengyun’s mouth curled up, and then he reached out and clasped Bai Qi’s fingers.
Bai Qi frozed but soon slowly relaxed again, allowing Xi Chengyun to interlock his fingers with his.
This was something completely different from when they were recording a program in front of the camera. They had many ways of holding hands on camera, but not this one.
‘Xi-laoshi’s fingers are really strong.’
Bai Qi unconsciously thought.
Seeing them go downstairs together, Aunty tacitly didn’t ask any more questions and thought the youngsters were sneaking around in their two-person world.
As expected, she didn’t intend to go to the restroom or even glance at the second floor.
“If you’re bored, should I ask the driver to take you around the neighborhood? There’s a big shopping mall over here. Chengyun can take Qi Qi to do some shopping,” She said while looking down to get the card in her pocket.
“No need.” Xi Chengyun pulled Bai Qi to sit on the side, and while holding Bai Qi’s shoulder with one hand, he asked his aunt, “Do you know who that is?”
Aunty followed his line of sight. “That’s Yvette.”
“What about the man next to her?”
“I think his name is Wang Bing? Her husband.” Aunty paused and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He probably didn’t feel so unfamiliar because Bai Qi was in the middle. So Xi Chengyun said naturally, “After all, Aunty has been running this place for many years, so I hope that Aunty will help me find out when this person started to contact Yvette, or rather, when he came here.”
Aunty nodded readily as well. “No problem.” She asked, “Is there some kind of grudge?”
Xi Chengyun smiled and said, “Not quite sure yet.”
It was only when Peng Wanli’s matter was stirred up earlier that he went to look at the news from back then and found a photo of Papa Bai with his partner.
His memory was good, and he had memorized it after a glance.
Just now, when he got up to look for Bai Qi as Bai Qi temporarily left the floor, his line of sight habitually traveled across the room, and then he caught a glimpse of such an extremely similar face.
Except that the face looked a little whiter, a little thinner, and even had less of the spirited flavor from the group photo.
But could it be so coincidental?
The person Papa Bai couldn’t find lived right under his uncle’s nose.
After escaping with so much money, shouldn’t he be living a happy life?
Countless thoughts flew through Xi Chengyun’s mind, but his expression didn’t change much.
He didn’t want Bai Qi’s hopes to be dashed, so he didn’t say it outright.
