5:30 p. m., Mari. Xiang Ling brought Qin Zilian, Yang Feng, Li Qian, and Shen Qi's uniforms to Qin Fei's apartment. Qin Fei had not returned yet, so he was numb. When Xiang Ling rang the doorbell, it was Li Qian, the most hardworking and obedient of the four, who answered the door.
Li Qian had already seen Ma Li in the information of the person she was communicating with. It was Xiang Ling's photo, so she recognized the person as soon as she opened the door. However, before she could call out the other party's name, it was Mari. Xiang Ling excitedly reached out and grabbed her hand." Ah! Hello, Li Qian. I'm so happy to see you. Allow me to introduce myself. I am your communication partner, Mari. Xiang Ling. Ah, you're so beautiful…"
Li Qian was speechless.
Look at Mari. Xiang Ling held her hand and looked down at the ground. Xiang Ling suddenly let go of the four bags that were scattered on the ground. Li Qian couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
"Hello, Mari. She retracted her hand and gestured at the things on the ground." Do you think we should take the things on the ground…"”
"Oh? Oh, oh."
Mari. Xiang Ling finally reacted. She quickly picked up the bags on the ground with Li Qian and entered the apartment.
In the living room, Qin Zilian, Yang Feng, and Shen Qi saw Ma Li. Xiang Ling and the others stood up and greeted her politely.
"Qin Zilian?"
The moment he saw Qin Zilian, he felt numb. Xiang Ling's eyes lit up with excitement." You're the legendary Qin Zilian?!”
In the legends…
Qin Zilian couldn't help but tremble." H-hello." I am Qin Zilian."
"Hello, hello." Mari. Xiang Ling took a step forward and held Qin Zilian's hand passionately, shaking it twice. Wow, as expected of Fei's sister. Even her appearance was outstanding.
Qin Zilian was numbed. Xiang Ling's eager gaze was a little uncomfortable. After retracting her hand, she unconsciously retreated behind Yang Feng. However, it was also because of her unconsciously retreating that she felt numb. Xiang Ling's eyes lit up again.
"You two must be Yang Feng and Shen Qi, right?”Mari. Xiang Ling's eyes were red, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest as if she was intoxicated. Oh, I didn't expect these two handsome guys to be even more handsome in real life than in their photos. In one day, I saw two beautiful girls first, and then two handsome guys. This world is really beautiful.
For Mari. Yang Feng and Shen Qi pretended not to see Xiang Ling's reaction and greeted her calmly and politely.
After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down in the living room. Qin Zilian brought out fruits from the kitchen for everyone to eat.
Mari. Xiang Ling was a natural acquaintance. After chatting for a while, she pulled Qin Zilian and Li Qian and called them "hit it off","bosom friend", and "regret meeting you too late". Yang Feng and Shen Qi were people who didn't talk much, but the three girls chattered on at the side. Occasionally, they would answer a few questions, so there was no awkward silence.
Qin Fei only came back around 6:30 pm with a few document bags in his hand. After greeting everyone, he hurriedly entered the study and only came out ten minutes later.
Qin Zilian had some doubts in her heart, but she also knew that if it was something she needed to know, her brother would definitely find time to tell her, so she did not show it on her face.
Qin Fei had already booked a private room in the restaurant downstairs. After coming out of the study, he greeted Qin Zilian, Li Qian, Yang Feng, Shen Qi, and Ma Li. Xiang Ling and the others went downstairs to eat.
At the dining table, Ma Li. Xiang Ling asked Qin Fei curiously," Fei, did you tell these two handsome guys about Spirit?”
" Xiang Ling," Qin Fei smiled at her as if he didn't hear her question,""Didn't you say that the prawns here are delicious? Do you want one?"
"What? Oh, oh. Yes!" Mari. Xiang Ling looked down at the prawns on the menu. Hmm…Interesting. Fei didn't seem to have said anything to the two handsome men. Did he have any plans?
"Spirit baby?" The others found it strange. Qin Zilian asked curiously,""What is it?"
Qin Fei smiled." You'll know tomorrow.”
After dinner, Li Qian followed Ma Li. Xiang Ling went to her house and officially started her life as an exchange student. Yang Feng and Shen Qi followed the Qin siblings back to Qin Fei's apartment.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Zilian came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and found that there was an extra person in her room.
She dried her hair with a large towel and walked over." Brother.”
Qin Fei sat on the single-seater sofa and smiled at her." I have something to tell you."”
Qin Fei and Qin Zilian were talking about Qin Bin and Wu Xuan. When Qin Fei went out in the afternoon, he first met Wu Xuan. Qin Fei felt that Wu Xuan had the right to know about the letter, so he showed the letter signed as "Wu Xuan's father" to Wu Xuan. After reading the letter, Wu Xuan was silent for a long time before telling Qin Fei about her thoughts. There were two main messages: The first piece of information was that Wu Xuan was already twelve years old when she was abandoned in the orphanage. She already had memories of her family. In her impression, her father was a submissive and somewhat weak man. Usually, everything in the family was decided by her grandmother and mother. Therefore, based on his personality, he did not seem like someone who would rape, rape, and blackmail. The second piece of information was that Wu Xuan's original name was not Wu Xuan. She used to take her father's surname, Chen, and her original name was Chen Xuan. The name Wu Xuan was changed after she stayed in the orphanage. She took the surname of the grandmother of the orphanage. After the director passed away, she left the orphanage and went to Country R. Although she would often send some money back to the orphanage, she rarely went back because of work. Not long after, the orphanage was demolished, and the people inside were scattered. She slowly lost contact with the people in the orphanage. Therefore, logically speaking, even if her father was looking for her, he should not know her current name and location.
"According to what Aunt Wu Xuan said, the person who sent the letter is most likely not her father.”After hearing her brother's words, Qin Zilian quickly came to her own conclusion.
"Yes." "I think so too." Qin Fei nodded in agreement. The person who sent the letter wanted money, but he didn't leave his contact information in the letter. This means that he will contact us again. I've already asked Grandma to install a pinhole camera in the mailbox. If he shows up again, we'll be able to find out who he is.”
Qin Zilian thought about it and voiced her concern." I'm worried that he won't contact us through letters again.”
"That's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes our way.”Qin Fei smiled indifferently and said,"If he is a fox, he will always show his tail." However…" He paused for a moment before saying,""I think we still have to find out more about Aunt Wu Xuan's family.”
Qin Zilian nodded in agreement.
She and Qin Fei both knew that even if the letter blackmail incident was just a false alarm, even if the person who sent the letter was not Aunt Wu Xuan's father, and even if this matter could be resolved perfectly in the end, it did not mean that everything would be peaceful. After this incident, Aunt Wu Xuan's background would definitely become a knot in Grandma's heart. As long as Aunt Wu Xuan's hidden danger in this aspect was not removed, the knot in Grandma's heart would always exist. Therefore, only when everything was clear could Grandma accept Aunt Wu Xuan without any grudges. Aunt Wu Xuan and Second Uncle could be truly happy together without any hidden dangers.
After Qin Fei returned to his room, Qin Zilian went online for a while and casually browsed through various portals in the country. She didn't see anything interesting, so she turned off her computer and prepared to go to the kitchen to drink some water and sleep.
When she walked into the living room, she was surprised to find that the French door to the balcony was open, and the balcony light was on. It was already so late? Who was still on the balcony?
Qin Zilian had always been very curious. With doubts in her heart, she went straight through the living room, crossed the French door, and entered the balcony.
"Yang Feng?" She was a little surprised when she saw the person on the balcony. Didn't Yang Feng always sleep more than the sky? Why wasn't he sleeping at this hour? Why was he on the balcony alone?
Yang Feng seemed to be a little surprised to see her, but his expression only changed for a moment before he quickly returned to his usual calm."Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I was a little thirsty and wanted to come out to drink some water. I saw that the lights on the balcony were still on, so I came over to take a look.”She walked over and asked with concern,"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Are you not used to the new environment?"
"I fell asleep on the plane. I can't sleep now.”
There was only a swing chair on the balcony. It was specially prepared by Qin Fei for Qin Zilian back then. There were some silk flowers wrapped around it, making it look a little girly. Yang Feng naturally did not sit on it. He stood leaning against the railing of the balcony. Qin Zilian saw that he didn't sit, so she stood with him. Yang Feng had never been a talkative person. In order to avoid the awkwardness of the two of them standing there, Qin Zilian decided to say something casually.
"Big cities are actually quite boring.”She looked up at the sky and said,"It's so late at night that you can't even see a single star."”Because the pollution was too serious.
Yang Feng didn't reply.
Qin Zilian could not help but feel a little defeated. She only wanted to pick a safe topic, but she forgot that safe topics were usually quite boring. Yang Feng probably didn't even have the interest to talk about stars. Sigh…
She began to lower her head and think about whether she should retreat and go to sleep, or choose a safe and interesting topic to start over again.
"If you want to see the stars, you can go to the beach.”
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a light breeze brushed past Qin Zilian. When Qin Zilian raised her head, Yang Feng was no longer on the balcony.
Qin Zilian stood there in a daze." Yang Feng…did he reply to me before he left?
Looking at the stars? Go to the beach?
Did Yang Feng really think that she was complaining about the lack of stars tonight?
Err…
Actually, he just wanted to find a topic to talk about. Fingers.
