"Master Su..."

Perhaps it was because the coughing after being choked had wiped out her face, but Qi Qi's timidity faded away under the psychological effect of smashing the jar, and she resisted the urge to turn her head in shame as much as possible. She greeted Su Mengzhen with the same calm attitude as usual. After speaking, she suddenly felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to sit like this, but then she worried whether it would be too abrupt to stand up now.

Fortunately, before she struggled to a conclusion, Su Mengzhen had already lifted her robe and sat opposite her.

"This place is full except the one opposite Boss Qi. I hope Boss Qi doesn't mind." He said politely, but he still had an aggressive aura that was hard to ignore.Is this his long-standing habit in a high position, or is it intentional at this moment?It was difficult for Qi Qi to judge for a while, but she could be sure of one thing:

Su Mengzhen has respect for her.If she is nothing more than a villain who uses the beauty of her subordinates to win the favor of the monarch in his eyes, I am afraid that she will not be treated seriously, let alone the "honor" of being fortunate enough to see her sharpness.

This recognition made her feel excited for a while, but she quickly suppressed it, thanking her master for finally successfully tempering her fighting spirit when facing the strong, maybe it was not appropriate, but she was moved by Su Mengzhen's aura The ego boosted helped her keep the conversation going.

"This is the public domain, Master Su doesn't need to ask my opinion." She said slowly, if it wasn't for the clenched fists on her knees under the table, no one would be able to see the turbulent emotions in her heart, "Master Su How did you come here?"

"This is the public property, is there anything I can't come to?" Su Mengzhen said, "And the wontons in this family are really good."

"Lord Su's health is not good. If you want to eat wontons, you can send your subordinates to take them back." Qi Qi said, "Although there are some unpleasant things, there are still loyal people around Master Su."

"If I don't come out for a walk again, I'm afraid others will think that I'm too sick to walk." Su Mengzhen said, a blush suddenly crossed his face, Qi Qi thought he was going to cough again, But he didn't expect that the muscles in his neck collapsed slightly, and his complexion returned to normal... He actually suppressed the surging cough with his strength.

If he wasn't really seriously ill, why was he in such a hurry to prove that he could still hold on?Qi Qi felt extremely worried and distressed. Looking at the man in front of her, her eye sockets gradually became wet, but she couldn't let him see it, so she lowered her head slightly and pretended to be staring at the remaining Lantern Festival in the bowl. Said, "The Lantern Festival in this store is also good, the landlord Su can also try it."

"When Camellia comes back, I will remember to ask him to buy it." Su Mengzhen said.

"Since Master Su has come out, are you interested in looking at the lanterns again?" Qi Qi asked, "I heard that the lanterns in the central area are the most beautiful and have the most games."

"... Boss Qi is really interested in these things." Su Mengzhen suddenly said with emotion, "Lanterns are, so are fireworks."

Qi Qi suddenly understood where Su Mengzhen's intention of deterrence came from, and she regretted that she ran so fast at that time that the reason for her coming was unclear, and she replied, "I didn't have much fun when I was young. , The fireworks are gorgeous and bright, which makes me love it. The owner of Huang Laobao once mentioned that their fireworks are better than those in the capital, so I couldn't help but ask for more. I saw this New Year's Eve that day. There was constant sound of festivities from every family, but the golden wind and light rain downstairs was too lonely, so... I lost my sense of propriety, I hope Master Su will not blame you." Her words were really not careful, and she couldn't help but feel Uneasy, I thought it would be better not to explain this explanation, but at the same time regretting it, I sincerely hoped that Su Mengzhen would not misread her good intentions.

Su Mengzhen couldn't see his real thoughts from his expression. After an awkward and tense silence, he said, "Strictly speaking, the outside of the Golden Wind and Rain Building is the same as here, and it can be regarded as a public boundary. Boss Qi is here. What right do I have to blame for setting off fireworks there? What's more..." He was silent for a while and then smiled a little, "Boss Qi's fireworks are very good."

What he praised was Qi Qi's fireworks, but Qi Qi felt as if she herself was being praised, and the fighting spirit that was aroused by Su Mengzhen's aura also disappeared with Su Mengzhen's smile, and she She lost the courage to speak again, if it wasn't for Camellia's return, she didn't know how to get rid of the embarrassment that was about to happen.

"Lord, I'm back... Boss Qi is here too?" Camellia froze for a moment when she saw Qi Qi.

"Camellia." Su Mengzhen called out, "You go to line up, you can buy wontons, I still need some Lantern Festival."

"Hey, the landlord, you sit here first?"

"No." Su Mengzhen stood up and left the seat.

Qi Qi thought that he should go back to the Golden Wind and Rain Tower first, but she didn't expect Su Mengzhen to extend her hand to her. She was confused for a moment, but immediately accepted the kindness. Stand up with strength.

"I promised to go to see the lantern with Boss Qi. I will go back by myself in a while. You don't have to wait for me."

If there is only one moment in Qi Qi's life that can be called happiness, maybe it is this moment?

Her fingers were still hot, how strange it was that the hand they had touched for a moment had been cold.

There are a lot of people on the street, and in this festive atmosphere, on the premise that Su Mengzhen doesn't want to make a big splash, it is naturally hard to expect anyone on the street to be able to see the identities of the two of them and take the initiative to make way for a collision. I'm afraid it's inevitable, although Qi Qi still doesn't dare to talk to Su Mengzhen, but her worry for him drives her to hold his hand, just like other lovers.

Su Mengzhen glanced at her, she almost gave up her bold behavior under his gaze, but he didn't say much, which made her relieved, but it's a pity that he didn't seem to think much .

The high-hanging lanterns were of different colors, shaking slightly under the breeze. They walked along the road formed by the lanterns on both sides, and they turned around a few turns. They were suddenly blocked by the crowd. It was not until the yelling of the people in the row that there was a famous lion dance here.Su Mengzhen and Qi Qiruo might not be able to jump to the front row if they didn't rely on lightness skills, but neither of them likes to show off, so they couldn't help but feel a little bit discouraged. They were about to go back, but found that the way they came was blocked. Living.The proprietor of the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower, and the boss of Zhuyuexuan, was cornered today by a group of ordinary people who don't know martial arts.

Because of the crowd's push, the two got closer. Qi Qi could hear his breathing and smell the smell of medicine on his body. She subconsciously supported him with a waist-wrapping posture, which was an obvious protection. attitude.This was a thoughtless reaction brought about by thoughts that had been buried in her heart for a long time. She had always wanted to protect this person, rather than simply being close to him.

She will never be a woman like Lei Chun, let alone Li Shishi, who is as weak as Liu Fufeng, who makes people pitiful and respectful at the same time. The average man has a hard time finding the sense of self-confidence that makes them happy.

It wasn't until the lion dance team walked away and the crowd slowly dispersed that Qi Qi withdrew her hand. She knew that she should explain her "offence" (this word is really weird for her), She is able to resolve the embarrassment caused by Cai Cai's behavior, she is very clear that this is by no means a difficult task, she...

Very unwilling, very very unwilling.

Especially on a day like this.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival that gave her strength. In this day when women can get more freedom, the idea of ​​fighting for herself suddenly surged up from the bottom of her heart, and she suddenly realized what she had been doing all along. The "safety" she seeks may be what makes her seem unworthy of Su Mengzhen. As Wang Xiaoshi expressly and hinted, if she continues to be the same as before, she will definitely be hopeless.

"I lied just now." She said, her eyes fixed on Su Mengzhen, she saw him frowning because of her words, and continued, "I set off fireworks not for my own pleasure, let alone because I hated him. The reason why the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower is too lonely... I am..." She took a few deep breaths, gathering up the courage to say the most important words for herself, "I let you go, Master Su."

"For me?" Su Mengzhen frowned even tighter. He recalled Qi Qi's performance along the way and the joke Wang Xiaoshi said a long time ago (at least he thought so), and suddenly guessed something. There was a rare surprise on the face, "You..."

"I fall in love with you, Master Su." Qi Qi said.
