Chapter 45 Nocturnal conversation (1/2)

He Yi Ning looked at his messy clothes, shook his head helplessly, took it off, and threw it into the trash basket.

Shen Qi escaped from the bathroom and quickly changed into her pajamas. She laid on the sofa and covered herself from head to toe with the blanket.

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. ”
