Chapter 3 Qi Zhao afterwards.

Qi Xunsheng's barrage of criticism resulted in two days of peace and rumors.

However, thanks to Lu Qinglian, she had already lost her good reputation outside. Everyone in Luocheng knew that Qi Xunsheng was willful, arrogant and domineering, and no one wanted her to live a good life.

When the rumor reached Qi Xunsheng's ears, it had evolved into her private life being in chaos. In order to hang out with other people, she even didn't attend the birthday party of her stepmother who treated her like her own daughter. She also said that Lu Qinglian specially prepared a dress for her and wanted to solemnly introduce her to everyone at the birthday party.

Everyone in Luocheng knew Qi Xunsheng, but it was Lu Qinglian's youngest daughter, Su Jing, who needed an introduction. Rather than introducing her, it was more like using her notoriety to highlight Su Jing.

"You didn't see how beautiful Su Jing looked in that long white dress," her friend Shan Xianmin muttered to her, "and then look at the clothes your stepmother prepared for you. You look like a nouveau riche, and she's like a white moonlight angel."

Shan Xianmin had some free time, so she came to her big villa to complain to her about what happened at the birthday party that day.

Qi Xunsheng glared at her: "Can you speak?"

Shan Xianmin made a gesture to seal her mouth, and then she heard Qi Xunsheng say, "Who says nouveau riche can't be Bai Yueguang Little Angel?"

Shan Xianmin nodded speechlessly: "You are right."

The dress prepared for her that day was not used, and Shan Xianmin was a little angry at first, but after hearing that Luo Qingqing was looking for her for something, she was no longer angry, but asked her what specifically she had discovered.

How could Qi Xunsheng say that he didn't know and just said something casually to fool her?

Shan Xianmin's family is in the antique business, so he was very curious about the discovery of the ancient tombs.

The temperature dropped suddenly today and the sky darkened. The two of them lay in the rocking chairs in the yard and chatted.

"Oh, by the way, do you know who came that day?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Qi Xunsheng didn't care about anything about Lu Qinglian. She felt very sorry when she heard that the birthday party was a success.

"Qi Zhao! Don't you know Qi Zhao?" Shan Xianmin pushed her rocking chair to wake her up. "Don't you know what it means that Qi Zhao went to your stepmother's birthday party?"

"That means she's not a good person either." Qi Xun sneered. In her mind, anyone who had anything to do with Lu Qinglian wouldn't be a good person.

Qi Zhao was a mysterious figure, most people had only heard of her name but never seen her in person. Rumor had it that she was a business prodigy from a young age, having built her own business empire at a young age. No one in the entire city of Los Angeles dared to provoke her.

But some people also say that the reason why Qi Zhao does not show up is because she is weak and has suffered from heart disease since childhood. She has wisdom but lacks a healthy body to match it. When people mention her, they all sigh and gloat.

"Don't you want to know what she looks like?"

"A pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth."

"What if I say your stepsister has a crush on Qi Zhao?"

"How do you know?"

Although she didn't care what Qi Zhao looked like, Qi Xunsheng couldn't help but feel a little curious when she heard that her stepsister had such feelings for her.

While I was curious, I also felt that Su Jing was overestimating her abilities.

Although her family is considered a wealthy family in Los Angeles, it is still far behind people like Qi Zhao.

While Lu Qinglian was ruining her reputation, people outside also learned about the discord in the Su family. When her mother passed away, Su Tongming changed the Qi Group to Su Group overnight, and she, Qi Xunsheng, became a complete outsider.

Time cannot cover up the truth. No matter how Lu Qinglian struggles, someone will always know.

"I heard what Su Jing and her little sister said." Shan Xianmin curled her lips, "But you said that a person like Qi Zhao actually believed Lu Qinglian's account and came to her birthday party."

"You haven't seen how beautiful Qi Zhao is. She's more beautiful than any celebrity I've ever seen. Her beauty is indescribable. It's as if she doesn't belong to this world, like a god."

Qi Xunsheng was worried about her cultural level. Are there really god-like people in this world?

As she thought of this, a picture emerged in her mind.

Yes, it does exist, but not in this world. Instead, it exists in her dream.

This is already the third day.

As long as she fell asleep, the woman would be waiting for her in her dreams, making love on the big red wedding bed, often making her deeply immersed in it and unable to tell the difference between day and night.

The woman hugged her so tightly that it seemed as if she was carving her into her bones.

"But Qi Zhao didn't come for a while. He left immediately after the car stopped at the door. I only caught a glimpse of it."

Shan Xianmin's words were still ringing in her ears, but Qi Xunsheng felt her mouth dry unconsciously when she thought of the scenes in her dream. She took two gulps of water and waited until her breathing calmed down before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shan Xianmin then noticed her abnormality: "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Xunsheng pursed her lips. Shan Xianmin was her best friend since childhood, so it was most appropriate to tell her about this matter. So she opened her lips and told her about the dream she had recently.

Shan Xianmin's eyes widened after hearing this: "You said you remember it very clearly?"

Qi Xunsheng nodded: "Yes, her appearance, voice and tone are like engraved in my mind. I can think of her all the time."

"Haven't you ever dreamed since you were little?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm curious too," Qi Xunsheng said in frustration, but what she wanted to know more at the moment was, "She said she's been waiting for me for a long time. Do you think I should go find her?"

"Are you crazy?" Shan Xianmin thought she might have a fever and was therefore unconscious. "This is Yin Peach Blossom, you can't remember it!"

Thinking of what Gu Yue had said to her that day, Qi Xunsheng was discouraged: "But I feel empty inside."

Qi Xunsheng didn't know why, but since that night, she had been thinking about sleeping all the time. As long as she fell asleep, he could touch her, and all the emptiness would be filled.

"I told you it's Yin Peach Blossom," Shan Xianmin couldn't bear to see her like this. Not wanting her to continue like this, he jumped down from the rocking chair, grabbed her arm and said, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?"

"You must be thinking about women. Come with me and I will take you to see some more beautiful women."

…

…

Half an hour later, Qi Xunsheng looked at the smoke-filled bar in front of him, lit by LED lights, and asked, "Are you talking about this place?"

"That's right!" Shan Xianmin was afraid that she would run away at the last minute. "You must have been alone for too long. I know you're lonely, so I'm holding on to you."

"I don't...ah!"

Qi Xunsheng had no way to refuse. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was pulled away by Shan Xianmin. She had no choice but to follow him in.

It was similar to what you see outside, with bright lights, wine, and smoke inside, loud and harsh music, and a DJ standing on the stage leading the people in the audience to dance hard.

Qi Xunsheng had never been to a bar before and was not used to this situation, so he could only follow Shan Xianmin around and finally sat down at a bar.

"Wait a minute, I'll call all the sisters I know."

Shan Xianmin, who has followed his parents in business since childhood, has high emotional intelligence and a wide network of contacts. In a short while, he called over more than a dozen beauties.

Gentle white moonlight, cool queen, cute sweet girl...

There is nothing that Dan Xianmin can't call out, except what she can't think of.

In the name of making friends, Shan Xianmin would explain the family background of each person he introduced to her.

This is not introducing a friend, it is clearly arranging a blind date for her.

"Don't even think about staying faithful to that female ghost," Shan Xianmin gnashed her teeth in her ear, "That's Yin Peach Blossom, it will kill you!"

Qi Xunsheng was frightened by her gnashing teeth and took a sip of wine guiltily: "I don't have any."

"You better not."

Following Shan Xianmin's warning, Qi Xunsheng added two of them on WeChat. Only after receiving their satisfied looks did she feel relieved.

After Shan Xianmin's attention was no longer on her, she held her phone and muttered to herself: "Ghost sister, it was you who didn't come to find me, you can't blame me."

For some reason, Qi Xunsheng always felt that there were eyes staring at her recently, which she could not see or touch. Logically speaking, she was no longer protected by the bracelet and the effect of the medicine had worn off. If there was a ghost nearby, she would definitely be able to see it.

Qi Xunsheng had a headache from the loud music, so he covered his ears and told Shan Xianmin that he wanted to go back.

Shan Xianmin was in high spirits. She had brought Qi Xunsheng here just to let her meet more people and see real beauties, so that she wouldn't be bewitched by the female ghosts in her dreams. Now that her goal had been achieved, knowing that she didn't like this atmosphere, she said, "Let my friend take you there. You just drank some wine."

"No, I'm not drunk." Although Qi Xunsheng didn't drink often, he wasn't the type to get drunk easily after just one drink. After politely declining her offer to see him off, he left alone.

After Qi Xunsheng left, someone asked Shan Xianmin:

"What perfume does she use? It smells so good."

"I don't know. I'll ask for you next time."

-

Qi Xunsheng did not leave the bar directly, but turned and walked towards the bathroom. After coming out of the cubicle, he looked at his lips which were gradually becoming pale in front of the sink, and applied lip gloss before going out again.

The corridor was very long and very quiet. She couldn't even hear her own footsteps. It was surrounded by white walls, completely different from the noisy atmosphere of the bar. After walking for a long time without reaching the end, an alarm bell rang in her heart.

Could it be that I’ve encountered a ghost wall?

Just when Qi Xunsheng was scared, he finally heard a sound. A soothing and gentle singing came from not far away.

Qi Xunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he had gone in the wrong direction when he came out and ended up at the bar next door.

She pushed the door open and saw the singer on the stage holding a guitar and closing his eyes, enjoying the music. Qi Xunsheng's panicked thoughts also found a quiet harbor, making her eager to go ashore.

There were not many people in the restaurant, only the sounds of singers and clinking glasses. Qi Xunsheng walked forward, trying to find an empty table to sit down, when suddenly her eyes widened -

It was a woman, leaning lazily against a chair, gently swaying a glass of Blue Rose in her hand. She had long eyelashes, a straight nose, and her long black hair was half-tied up with a jade hairpin. A red halter dress framed her figure, and a teardrop necklace was the only embellishment on her snowy skin.

Perhaps because she had been stared at for too long, the woman raised her eyes and shook the glass towards her: "Would you like a drink?"

Qi Xunsheng never thought that the person in her dream would suddenly appear in front of her, and at this moment she was more surprised than scared.

The woman was bolder than she had imagined. During the interval between drinks, her legs had already rubbed against hers restlessly. But the moment she looked up, the woman's expression was normal again. She raised her glass and drank it all, smiling gently and charmingly: "Let's go to the hotel?"

Qi Xunsheng suddenly stood up from his chair and shook his head: "No, no, no."

The woman held her chin with her hand, licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, and looked regretful and aggrieved: "Don't you miss me a lot?"

…

…

Qi Xunsheng assured her that she was not a casual person and that she came to the hotel with the woman just to verify. She wanted to know what the dreams she had been having these days were about.

Is the woman in front of me a human or a ghost?

How could a person appear in her dream?

How could a ghost appear in a bar?

The red dress fell on the clean and neat big bed, and the clothes were taken off bit by bit, revealing her fair skin. Qi Xunsheng's eyes, seeking confirmation, gradually became confused. Every step was the same as in her dream. The red mole on her chest was like a bolt from the blue.

When this happened, Qi Xunsheng's brain froze. She found that she could not resist such a temperature, as if she had been bewitched. As long as he got close to her, she would want more.

Just like many times in the dream, the two of them did it again.

The next morning when Qi Xunsheng woke up he felt unreal and suspected it was just a dream.

Because when she woke up, the person next to her had disappeared.

But the mottled marks on the bed reminded her that what happened last night was indeed what happened. And she, too, was abandoned.

Before, Qi Xunsheng always woke up halfway and had never faced an empty room alone. This was the first time she lay alone on the big bed after sex.
