Chapter 45
When He Yi Ning took a bath, what he saw was exactly this scene.
He Yi Ning did not say anything, and went straight back to his room to rest.
Hearing the door close, Shen Qi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled the blanket off her head.
Phew, I almost suffocated to death.
Shen Qi immediately sat up from the sofa, threw the blanket to the side, and quietly poured herself a cup of water barefooted. Only after drinking it all in one go did she feel a little better.
Shen Qi put down her cup and ran to the window. She leaned against the wall and hugged her knees as she stared out into the starry sky.
A meteor streaked across the sky and Shen Qi instantly reached out to stroke the flaming birthmark between her collarbones. For some reason, she thought of a playmate of her childhood.
That little brother that he had clearly promised to tell him who he was.
Unfortunately …
"Little big brother, you said that when a meteor streaked across the sky, it was when you found me. But now that we are all grown up and we are at opposite ends of the world, perhaps we will never meet again in this lifetime? " Shen Qi muttered to herself in a daze: "I\'m really sorry, it was not on purpose that I did not go to see you. Instead … My mother remarried, and my brother and I left with her. I\'m sorry, it really wasn\'t intentional. "
Shen Qi rested her head on her knees, quietly immersed in her thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, the wall light behind him was suddenly turned on.
Shen Qi turned her head in shock.
Seeing that He Yi Ning was actually still awake, he walked over with a cup of water.
"Did I disturb you?" The first thing Shen Qi did was to reflect on himself.
He Yi Ning shook his head: "Nothing, I just suddenly can\'t sleep. "Why aren\'t you asleep?"
"I\'m not sleepy." Shen Qi replied.
"Is that so?" He Yi Ning also sat on the carpet beside the window. Looking at Shen Qi who was wearing a little white rabbit\'s pajamas, she couldn\'t help but curl her eyebrows.
The current Shen Qi was no longer as smart and capable as she was during the day. Her slightly dishevelled long hair fit down to her face, causing her to look even more calm.
He Yi Ning drank a mouthful of water and also looked outside at the starry sky.
The air in C City was good, not too polluted by heavy industry.
So looking at the starry sky at night was a pretty good experience.
Because of what had just happened, Shen Qi didn\'t know how to face this business monarch.
She did not want He Yi Ning to think that she had to rely on him!
He Yi Ning saw that Shen Qi did not make a sound, and immediately found a topic to break the awkward silence of the two: "Do you know who the person I want to meet tomorrow is?"
Shen Qi shook her head.
"A friend of my father\'s." He Yi Ning took the initiative to explain, "Do you know who my father is?"
Shen Qi blankly continued to shake her head.
However, He Yi Ning chuckled. "That\'s right, you\'re not paying attention to me at all."
Shen Qi scratched her head in embarrassment.
He Yi Ning continued: "This senior was once my mentor. Then he retired and came here to live in seclusion. It was a big, small, and indistinct dynasty, a small city, and a small wilderness. Even so, Great Concealment and Central Concealment always work too hard. "
Shen Qi seemed to understand something.
He couldn\'t help but interject, "So, he settled in the countryside of C City?"
He Yi Ning chuckled. "Yes. He built a small house on the outskirts of the city and lived a leisurely life. Do you think this is a good life? "
"Very good." Shen Qi replied: "Only a truly open-minded person would understand, that life is truly too tiring. Avoiding the edge and retreating properly in the old age may be a philosophy of the world. Although I don\'t know who this senior of yours is, since he is able to become your mentor, then he must have once been someone who could summon the wind, rain, and use the rain. Now that you have such spirit and vision, you are definitely not a vulgar person. "
Hearing Shen Qi\'s words, He Yi Ning became interested in chatting for the first time, "Oh? If you don\'t know who he is, you can tell he\'s not a vulgar person. "
"It\'s very simple." Shen Qi replied matter-of-factly: "There are a lot of people who simply ca
ot retreat in a hurry. He\'s about the same age as your father, and he\'s only about sixty this year. "Now, it\'s not the past. Sixty floral armor and in the modern era, he is still young and strong."
He Yi Ning immediately laughed, and said with raised phoenix eyes: "Your opinion is indeed different from the others."
Shen Qi scratched her head in embarrassment: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No. "Well said." He Yi Ning shook his head and laughed: "What about me?"
"Huh?" Shen Qi\'s face was at a loss, she did not understand what He Yi Ning meant.
"Do you think I should retreat in a hurry? After all, I am already at the top. " He Yi Ning looked at Shen Qi with a smile that was not a smile.
"Ah …" I can\'t say for sure. " Shen Qi answered honestly: "I\'m just a small stylist."
"Alright, I won\'t disturb you anymore. You should go to bed early. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. " After He Yi Ning finished this sentence, he stood up and left.
Looking at He Yi Ning\'s leaving figure, Shen Qi inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief.
Emma, I still feel nervous facing this king.
Looking at the time, it was indeed getting late.
He probably slept for less than a few hours and would need to wake up soon. Shen Qi did not dare to continue sleeping on the sofa as he slept soundly.
At daybreak on the second day, when Shen Qi heard the sound of the curtains, the slumbering Shen Qi thought she was at home and could not help but say, "Stop messing around, I\'m still sleepy …"
The hand that was pulling the curtain suddenly stopped.
It was the first time He Yi Ning heard the girl\'s mumbling in her dreams, and it was actually completely different from what he normally heard.
Sweet... listless...
He Yi Ning could not help but clear his throat and say: "It\'s time to wake up, there\'s no time left!"
Hearing He Yi Ning\'s voice, Shen Qi who was fighting with the bugs a second ago suddenly opened his eyes!
Blinking his eyes, Shen Qi\'s muddled mind instantly woke up!
This is not home!
Shen Qi suddenly sat up from the sofa, and turned to look. Aiya, I\'m going, He Yi Ning had long prepared everything!
Ah ah ah, did I oversleep?
Shen Qi didn\'t dare to stay in bed anymore, and immediately jumped down, sprinting towards the washroom. "I\'m almost done!"
Seeing Shen Qi\'s flustered look, He Yi Ning could not help but chuckle.
Xiaochun happened to knock on the door and come in. The moment he saw CEO\'s smile, Xiaochun was horrified for a long time.
CEO had never been one to not laugh easily in the past.
However, during this period of time, the chances of CEO laughing seemed to be higher and higher …
