smile to heart

=====================

Back at Yuequxuan, Qi finally comforted Lin Weier to sleep before returning to his room, ready to rest.

The mist in the second half of the night gradually moistened, and Qi Zhongjing lay beside the bed, but he was restless for half the night. Thinking of the loneliness of his little junior sister squatting outside the door, a wave of self-blame and guilt surged in his heart.

Suddenly recalling that when he was a child, he suffered from being left behind, and it was the kindness of Changting's master who took him in, but now he is unable to protect his junior sister, and the anger aroused by this helplessness is suppressed in his heart.

All of a sudden, the limbs and bones felt a faint trembling sensation of intertwined meridians, which forced the heart valve violently, and it hurt for a moment.Qi Zhong frowned, and whispered: "Uh..."

Just about to turn over and sit up, calm down, the powerful pain suddenly disappeared.

Qi Zhong was stunned for a few seconds, and thought to himself: Why does it seem that there is a lot of power in my dantian just now?Could it be...

His gaze shifted to the saber on the window sill, it remained silent and unchanged.Qi Zhong hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​testing, turned over, and sleepiness hit him leisurely.

In the early morning of the next day, the warbler sang hundreds of times in the garden, waking up the sleeping person in the bed.

"Boom bang bang-"

"Qi rogue, Qi rogue..."

Min Zhi outside the door slammed on the door and shouted at the people in the room.

Qi Zhong rubbed his eyes, looked at the morning light by the window, and suddenly became more conscious.

Why am I up late?

While puzzled, he quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and at the same time agreed to Min Zhi outside: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay. I'll be out soon."

After getting dressed, Qi Zhong hesitated the moment he pushed the door, thinking: The incident last night was somewhat unpleasant, I'd better apologize to the little lunatic later.

"Squeak-"

The moment the door was opened, Min Zhi turned around impatiently, and stood in front of Qi Zhong: "Hey, why are you dawdling for so long?"

"I...sorry, I got up late." Qi Zhong touched the back of his head and replied.

Min Zhi looked at the tired look on his face, seemed to understand something, and said in a relaxed tone, "You... why do you feel that you didn't sleep well? Are you still angry about what happened last night?"

"I……"

"Hey, this heroine will do what she says! It's past time, I've already figured out what happened last night, and I rushed here just to give you an explanation!"

Qi Ding Ding nodded and asked, "What's the whole story?"

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Min Zhi replied resolutely, with an unwilling tone as if she was rehabilitating herself.

Then he told Qi Zhong all the cause and process.

"Where is that little junior sister now?"

"After my cousin realized his mistake last night, he got up today and ordered the living room to be decorated. He came early in the morning to apologize to Wei Er, and took her to the main hall for breakfast."

Min Zhi knew that he was worried about his junior sister, so he quickly explained clearly.

Qi Zhong nodded in relief: "That's good."

"It's the first time I've seen my cousin wake up so early. It's like breaking a ring. It means that he has fully realized his fault. And he also said that after the reunion is done, there will be another grand banquet for him." what about you……"

Conveying with a flattering meaning, obviously showing his attitude.

Qi Zhong knew it, and followed the steps in Min Zhi's words: "That's unnecessary. Since it's a misunderstanding, there is no right or wrong dispute. We appreciate Mr. Tang's kindness, so there is no need to spend more money."

"How can I do that! You Changting just sent 'Millennium Black Ink' as a thank you gift this morning, and we haven't treated our guests well. If we don't make up for it, people will laugh at it if it spreads."

Min Zhi was anxious to persuade her, but Qi Zhongao couldn't beat her, and sighed: "Then let's see my junior sister, I'll listen to her."

"Alright."

Min Zhi smiled lightly, and suddenly felt that his heart had fallen to the ground: Wei'er can't wait to stay, now I won't be so lonely anymore.

"Hey, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? Let's go, I'll take you to the South Bridge of Fulin Street, and eat a very delicious Qiaotou rice noodle, how about it?"

After thinking about it, Min Zhi had the idea of ​​going to the street again, and dragged Qi Zhong straight to the door.

Qi Zhong was dragged away in a daze, and hurriedly asked: "What about the little junior sister?"

"Oh, don't worry, Weier is accompanied by her cousin, and she is busy with reunion, don't miss her, go to the street with me to relax first."

"Uh, okay."

Qi finally compromised and agreed, and the two happily left Tangmen, looking for food.

In the elegant garden, under the waterside pavilion, there is sparkling light, and the dragonfly leaves the water.

The bead curtain was lowered, and in front of a precious sandalwood table, there were two people sitting opposite each other. Behind them, servants and maidservants stood in groups, waiting for orders.

Lin Weier was a little uncomfortable with the gazes of so many people, and lowered his head unnaturally. He didn't know where to start the sentence for a while, and he had completely forgotten the integration script that he had memorized hundreds of times in his mind.

Tang Lan saw her silent for a while, thinking she was still annoyed by what happened last night, a little embarrassed, raised his hand, poured a cup of tea for her himself, and apologized:

"Miss Lin, my cousin has already explained to me what happened last night. It is true that I was short-sighted and failed to recognize you in time. I will present this cup of tea to you as an apology and hope that Miss Lin will be happy."

"Then why didn't you recognize me?"

Lin Weier lowered his head and asked a dull question, but Tang Lanqi was confused by the question.

He had no choice but to continue to apologize: "I, I am blind. Miss Lin is sorry."

"..."

Lin Weier pursed his lips, and refused to accept such a vague statement. He recalled his childhood: under the mountain and moon waterfall, the time when the two played in the flowers. He once pointed to the stars in the sky and said to himself: " Sister Weier, you will also come to our Tangmen to play in the future, I will take you to the Lantern Festival, it is very lively."

"Okay, okay. But Dad said, I have to grow up before I can go down the mountain."

There was a trace of regret in Xiao Weier's innocent eyes.

Tang Lanqi patted his small chest when he was young, and promised: "Then I will wait for you to grow up, and then we will watch together."

"But what if Brother Lanqi doesn't remember what I look like at that time?"

"No, Wei Er is so cute, I will always remember your appearance."

"And don't worry, our family will visit your house at this time every year in the future, and I will come to see you when the time comes, just remember what you look like every year."

"That's great, Brother Lanqi is great."

……

It's a pity that later, as the friendship between Tang Lin and his family gradually faded and the number of visits decreased, Tang Lanqi's figure also disappeared without a trace. Instead, he was accompanied by his relative Min Zhi, who indirectly continued this childhood agreement.

Lin Weier's heart suddenly became sad, and he finally didn't realize that the cruelty of this time was like this, and the promise was too weak after all.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin..."

Seeing her bowing her head in a daze, Tang Lan called out patiently several times, finally bringing Lin Weier back to her senses.

"Hold, sorry. I lost my mind."

Blinking, Lin Weier covered his red eyes and replied in a low voice.

Tang Lan laughed awkwardly, and said distantly: "The tea is getting cold, Miss Lin, just take a sip and try it."

"Thank you... Mr. Tang."

Lin Weier took a sip of tea to calm down, it was clearly sweet, but this sip was bitter.

"I see that Miss Lin seems to be in a low mood today. If she is still angry with me, it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to talk about the reunion. We can talk about it another day. I will..."

"No, nothing, Mr. Tang is too worried."

Lin Weier hurriedly explained, almost choking on the tea.

Seeing this, Tang Lanqi hurriedly took the silk from the maid and handed it to her to wipe.

"Young Master Tang has a lot of work to do, I can't bother you too much, it's better to get it done today. In this way, you will have one less worry, and I can go home as soon as possible, so I can get rid of the pain of homesickness..."

Powerlessly separating the relationship, Lin Weier seemed to be still immersed in loss.

Tang Lanqi pondered for a moment, then replied: "The lady who shared the car with me last night is just a guest of the Tang residence."

He mistakenly thought that Lin Weier was tired of his frivolity and flamboyance, and that he was not serious in doing things, which gave people a sense of distrust, so Tang Lanqi specially added a sentence of explanation.

Hearing this, Lin Weier was stunned for a while, then bit his lips: Why did he tell me this?

In the Qiaotou store, business is booming.

After Min Zhi led Qi to a certain "VIP class" seat, he clapped his hands and sat down safely.

After a while, the boss brought over two bowls of rice noodles with minced pepper and mutton.

Qi finally looked at the long line outside the door, and guessed there was still waiting, and he had his boss to call the shots, so he came for a while, and he had a seat and rice noodles to eat, and he felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

He said: "It seems that you often come here to eat rice noodles."

"Of course. The taste of this store is very authentic. I heard that the owner is from Dijiang's hometown. I'm also a regular customer."

After Min Zhi finished speaking, he took a sip of the rice noodles happily, and the pepper was so hot that Qi Zhong didn't dare to put down his chopsticks after taking a look.

He laughed again and asked, "Isn't Dijiang a place for ordinary people? Where is your hometown?"

"Stupid ordinary people! Is it trash if you don't practice immortality? The soybeans and rice that these people in Shangjiang eat are not grown by those in Dijiang?"

"Immortals are happy enough, so are mortals unhappy? It's absurd."

As soon as Min Zhi put down his chopsticks, his tone was quite excited.

Qi Zhong hurriedly comforted him: "Don't get excited, don't get excited. Let me say it casually, this is just a folk saying in Shangjiang."

"Hey. In fact, Dijiang Shengjing is also very interesting. If I have a chance, I will take you to see it..."

"Good talk, good talk."

Qi Zhong thanked him, just after taking a bite of rice noodles, two bowls of shochu were presented at the table.

Looking up, Min Zhi is boldly raising the wine in the bowl at him, which is an obvious gesture.

Immediately burst into laughter: "Good buddy, you really understand me!"

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of shochu, the hotness entered his throat, but he was happy, and the slightly gloomy mood of the two of them was relieved.

After eating and drinking, it was already afternoon.

The two walked through the crowds, Qi finally saw that Min Zhi didn't seem to be going back home, so he stepped forward and asked, "Where are we going?"

Min Zhi nodded, looked back and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I won't trick you into selling you."

"Cut. Am I such a fool?"

Qi finally retorted.

"Then follow me boldly." Min Zhi giggled.

Qi Zhong didn't ask any more questions, but he still didn't understand where his steps were leading.
