Shi Xiaonian walked over, and lightly pressed on the keyboard, and the screen lit up.
Then, Shi Xiaonian saw a mail that had already been sent. It had been sent using her mailbox account.
She frowned, running her fingers over the keyboard and calling out the contents of the email. The email was something she was unfamiliar with, but the contents of the attachment were very clear to her when she opened it.
It was a video of Gong Ou burning gifts.Who did he send this video to?
Shi Xiaonian thought for a few seconds, then came back to reality. Yes, it could only be him.
Why did he have to provoke Mu Qianchu again?
Shi Xiaonian sat down on the side of the bed, her hand raised up stiff for a few seconds. Then, she tapped the mailbox to continue sending messages and typed in the next few words.
[Leave, the farther the better.]She didn't know if there was anyone by Mu Qianchu's side who would read these for him. If they saw it, they would probably leave, right?
Hopefully, Gong Ou's jealousy was only excited by the situation for a moment, and would quickly pass.
Shi Xiaonian hesitated for a while, but still pressed Send button and turned off the computer. She stayed in the Old house s and waited quietly for Gong Ou to return.
One hour after another passed, but Shi Xiaonian did not come back. Instead, she waited for Feng De's call.
She picked up the phone. "Foster father.""minuscule thought, why isn't the Young Master answering the phone? I have urgent matters to attend to here. " Feng De asked anxiously.
Shi Xiaonian stood at the door and looked into the distance, not seeing Gong Ou's figure that had returned, she could only say, "He is working, maybe he did not hear the phone call, so I'll go tell him about any urgent matters.""This …"
Feng De was a little hesitant.
"Foster father, is there something you need to keep secret from me right now?" Shi Xiaonian said, then spoke on the phone, "How could I have that intention, Young Master and I both did not want you to worry too much."
"What's going on?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"It's Lancaster. Last time, after they received Li Qingyan's half-fake and half-real documents, they began to attack N.E. Feng De said worriedly. Anything had to be done first to gain the upper hand.
However, the usually straightforward young master hesitated this time.
"Didn't you tell him earlier?" Shi Xiaonian asked. Actually, she also thought it was strange, that when Gong Ou sent Li Qingyan out, he had already started playing chess on the board, but dropped the board to accompany her back home.
"I've said it, but young master said …"
"Say what?"
"He said he wanted to walk with you again." Feng De said and sighed.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's hand unconsciously pressed against the door beside him, her eyes dimmed. She accompanied her for another walk, and because of that, she left behind a very important board game.
Stupid."Foster father." Shi Xiaonian said, "I do not understand the deceit of the shops, nor do I understand the open rivalry and covert battles between clans, but I want to know, how big is Gong Ou's chance in this war with Lancaster?"
"minuscule thought, you must believe young master …"
"Foster father, I'll only listen to your judgment." Shi Xiaonian interrupted him. There were too many things she did not understand, each time she judged the severity of the matter to be serious purely based on the feeling of Gong Ou.Feng De became silent over there. After a long time, Shi Xiaonian heard Feng De sigh, and said, "minuscule thought, honestly speaking, I do not know, that it was an old clan that had existed for hundreds of years, to be able to hold on until today, you are definitely not someone who can resist the temptation. But young master has always been unhurried, and is also intelligent.
"…"
"Therefore, minuscule thought, it's hard to say for sure about this final battle." Feng De stopped here, and swallowed his words "but I can foresee that this must be a battle with blood all over the ground", so as to not provoke her."I understand, foster father. I will advise Gong Ou to return as soon as possible."
Shi Xiaonian said, then hung up, she leaned on the door alone, and looked into the distance with empty eyes.She had always felt that this fierce battle would come very late. She and Gong Ou still had a lot of time, but now she realized that Lancaster was no longer willing to give them time.
Shi Xiaonian reached out her hands to stroke her stomach, unable to wait any longer, until Gong Ou came along to watch the birth of a child with her.
She no longer wanted Gong Ou to stay behind with any regrets.
At dusk, the golden light fell upon this small district.
When Gong Ou found Shi Xiaonian, she was at the fitness equipment area. She was sitting alone on the equipment that could massage his back and exercise his arms, but he did not have any movements to exercise on, so he treated the cold equipment as chairs.
The broken light fell on her face and dyed her long hair. She looked especially gentle.
"Why is he here alone?"
Gong Ou strode towards her.Hearing her voice, Shi Xiaonian did not turn back, but quietly sat there instead, "I'm thinking about something."
He had a lot of things on his mind.
"What is it?"Gong Ou walked to her side and stood still.
She smelled a hint of burning on the corner of his clothes. It seemed that he had reaped a great harvest today and had burned quite a lot of gifts.
"I don't know." Shi Xiaonian raised his face, and forced out a smile, "How many gifts have you found?"
"Eight."Gong Ou replied as he leaned on the equipment behind her.
"So fast. Have you gotten used to the fever?" Shi Xiaonian asked lightly. There was no blame, there was only indulgence."Heartache?"
Gong Ou looked at her sharply.Shi Xiaonian did not pick up his words, but said, "My foster father called. He said that Lancaster had already begun moving and wanted you to go back and take a seat."
"Why is this old man Feng De telling you this?"
Gong Ou frowned in displeasure, his tone revealing a trace of anger. He turned around and sat on the equipment chair behind her.
In the sunset, the two of them sat with their backs to each other across the cold pillar of the exercise equipment."Go back."
Shi Xiaonian said, her voice was as gentle as a gust of wind, a wind without any power to harm.
"If I don't go back, I'm still short of four gifts." Gong Ou said coldly, his tone was extremely stubborn.
"So what if we find them all? That was a long time ago. "
Shi Xiaonian said helplessly, she did not understand why Gong Ou would be so angry this time.
As Gong Ou sat with his back facing her, Shi Xiaonian heard his cold and sinister voice sound out behind her, "I just don't like him, is that not okay?"Is that so?
Was he just going to keep staring at Mu Qianchu?Shi Xiaonian could not help but say, "Back then, when Qianyu left, we agreed that we would not look for her, nor listen to any news."
They decided then that all their grudges and grudges would go with the wind, didn't they?
She thought they had come to an agreement long ago.
"That was then, but now …"
Gong Ou said coldly, as though he was arrogant to the point that he could not control himself if he wanted to change his mind.
He had an attitude of not holding back at all.
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian could not help but close her eyes, when she opened them again, her eyes were gloomy and lonely. She looked at the distant setting sun, and asked: "What is the ninth clue?"
"What?"
Gong Ou countered with a question, his tone carrying a sense of vigilance.
"With your temper, if it went smoothly, you would definitely find all 12 gifts in one go. You should have come across some hard to understand clues, right?" Shi Xiaonian said with a hint of compromise, "Let me help you.""Help me?"
Gong Ou sat sideways, his black eyes looking at her. Her side face was small, and it was painted with the golden color of the setting sun.
Shi Xiaonian also mimicked him as she turned to look at him gently. "That's right, I'll give you the remaining four gifts so that you can go back earlier."
Lancaster had already moved. If he didn't do something, he would destroy the good cards he had grabbed earlier.
"You want to help me find it and then watch me burn it?"
Gong Ou stared at her and asked.A trace of dejection flashed past Shi Xiaonian's eyes, but she quickly nodded firmly, "Mn."
"Shi Xiaonian, you are really crazy!"
Gong Ou immediately scolded her. This was no longer the Shi Xiaonian he knew.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, looking at his handsome face, "Don't you like what you do, and why should I accompany you?"
"But you usually scold me at times like this!"
Gong Ou stared at her and said with a faint voice.
Shi Xiaonian laughed, "Why do you have to scold so much? "Well, let's talk about clues. There might be some kind of riddle. You don't know what it means, but I do."
Hearing this, Gong Ou's face immediately darkened, his voice filled with jealousy, "Are you flaunting to me that you two once had secrets that I don't know about?"Was he jealous again?
Shi Xiaonian looked at him helplessly, and spoke word by word from her soft lips, "Gong Ou, no one else knows about the relationship between me and Qian Chu, you are the only one who knows about it. After everything that has happened, do you think I will still show off the secret between us?"
Her biological parents were dead, and the family she had finally made was gone.She didn't mention it or pick at the scars, but that didn't mean she wouldn't hurt.
"…"
Gong Ou became silent, the hostility in his eyes gradually disappeared, the thin lip moved, and said after a long while: "I am not accusing you of forgetting those things."He had never been willing to blame her for anything.
"I know."
Shi Xiaonian stared at him, he could not control her jealousy, right?
It didn't matter, she didn't care.
"…"Once again, Gong Ou fell into silence. His black eyes stared fixedly at the ground in front of him as he leaned forward slightly.
"I should finish the search early and go back earlier."
When Shi Xiaonian said this sentence once again, the indulgence in her tone clearly surpassed the color of the setting sun.
Gong Ou turned and looked at her. The thin lip pursed its lips and asked, "What's this cellophane paper?"
"Glass-paper is icing paper, a piece of paper made of sugar after peeling it off, a square piece. When I was young, I loved to collect candy paper, and seeing the sunlight through the icing on the candy paper is multi-colored. "Is this the clue to the eighth gift?"Shi Xiaonian asked, seeing that Gong Ou stood up and said: "Follow me, I know where the present is."
