C241 Drink (1/2)

However, for humanitarian reasons, Qi He agreed to wait for him alone in the teahouse across the street from the brothel.

When Xia Xian heard that Chen Xiao was leaving, she felt reluctant to part with him. It was rare for her to meet such a cute and mischievous child. It was like a ray of sunlight shining into her dim life, bringing warmth to her.

”In the future, will I not be able to see him again?”

Chen Xiao nodded. ”Maybe.”

Mount Shu was too far away from the capital. It was a difficult trip. If she did not follow Qi He to find someone, he would not have come this time.

”Wait a moment, I have something for you.” Xia Xian hurriedly opened the cabinet and took something out to hand to Chen Xiao. ”This is a candied fruit that I made myself, take it with you on the way.”

She had no one to rely on, and was only a brothel girl who sold jokes for a living. She also did not have anything decent that she could take out, so she hoped that he would not mind it.

Before Chen Xiao could feel happy, he naturally wouldn't think that the gift was cheap or cheap. ”Okay, thank you beautiful big sister!”

”Foolish child, why are you being so courteous to me?”

He was the first friend she had ever made, perhaps the last, and anyway he was blessed to grow up and be a man who could hold his own in the future.

”That's right, what are you going to do about father and Princess Qi?” When Xia Xian suddenly thought of this, she couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xiao curled his lips helplessly. ”It's up to fate. The princess doesn't like godfather, and godfather is thin-skinned and won't express his feelings for her. As the godson, I'm in a dilemma.”

Pity him, a mere child. His hair had almost turned white because of this matter.

”I do have a plan, but I don't know if it'll work.” Xia Xian craftily said. She had seen the tricks Chen Xiao had used to trick Sun Ran, and she had also secretly learnt a trick.

Chen Xiao grabbed her hand and excitedly asked, ”Tell me quickly, as long as I can do it.”

Just a moment ago, he had said that it was up to fate, but now, his brain had started to twist. It seemed like it wasn't an easy thing to make a person completely give up on something they were obsessed with.

”I've said that after drinking, he would spout the truth. If you pour wine into your godfather's mouth, when he is completely drunk, you can call the princess to him. When that happens, he will definitely be able to say anything.

The princess couldn't ask of him, but the man in front of her was very close. There was a saying that 'distant water cannot quench one's thirst.' She could only hope that the princess would be able to properly enjoy this near water.

Chen Xiao frowned as he thought about it. It was a good idea. If his godfather was rejected, he could blame everything on the alcohol, saying that he was just blabbering on after drinking too much.

”Then I'll try it tonight. If it succeeds, you will be the one who has done the deed for all eternity.” His godfather had once said that as long as he married his mistress, he would take her as his disciple and teach her how to steal. He had always been looking forward to the day when she could become a successful thief like his master.

Of course, Xia Xian didn't know that there was such a crucial point. If she knew that he had the intention to steal from this business, no matter what she said, she wouldn't reveal this plan.

”Alright, alright, you said that the princess is still waiting for you outside. You can go, don't make her wait.” After all, Chen Xiao was a person with a silver spoon in his mouth. It would be a great sin if he didn't let the princess down because of him.

Chen Xiao held a bag of candied fruits in his hands. ”Beautiful sister, I wish you happiness in the future.”

Then he left the house.

Xia Xian sat at the table and recalled his words. Peace and happiness, what kind of happiness was there to have here? Perhaps the happiest thing in her life was that she had met this little fellow, and it was he who had brought him temporary happiness.

Qi He saw Chen Xiao coming out of the brothel and hurried to welcome him. ”Look at your expression, you don't seem reluctant to part with it.”
