Chapter 6: Acting like a spoiled child This person is used to acting like a spoiled child.
Afraid that she would deliberately try to change the subject, Qi Xunsheng even washed his face until all the water stains were gone before asking, "Where's my friend?"
The only person who could make someone disappear without a reason here was Qi Zhao. Even if she hadn't done it, this was her territory, so finding someone would be easy.
Qi Zhao was not satisfied with the results of her cleansing.
She stood up from the rocking chair and strolled towards her, her skirt floating with her movements, her long skirt covering her ankles, and her movements so light that she seemed to be floating in the air.
If Shan Xianmin were here, he would definitely be scared.
But Qi Xunsheng had seen many ghosts and had become desensitized to such scenes.
Just as Qi Xunsheng was thinking, she didn't notice that Qi Zhao had come to her side. She felt a chill on her wrist, which was held tightly by someone and then pressed into warm water.
The hands became moist and increasingly slippery as they were rubbed repeatedly.
Qi Zhao's palms were ice-cold, and they showed no sign of warming up even with her movements. That night she discovered that Qi Zhao's body temperature was much lower than that of an average person. She didn't think much of it at first, but now it seemed that this person was abnormal.
From the moment she entered the rose manor, Qi Xunsheng was surrounded by the scent of roses. She thought she would no longer be stimulated by any other smell, until Qi Zhao approached. The rose fragrance became stronger and was tainted with a hint of other indescribable smells.
It smells so good it's mind-blowing.
It wasn't until she felt pain in her wrist that she came back to her senses: "Hiss, what are you doing?"
It was also the first time she heard of someone helping someone wash their hands so carefully when they first met.
Although Qi Xunsheng was bullied at home, she was also pampered. Just as Lu Qinglian said, she was never treated badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Her skin was delicate and would easily become red and swollen if rubbed lightly, and Qi Zhao did not hold back.
"It's clean." Qi Zhao wiped his hands lazily.
Qi Xunsheng looked closely and saw that it was a silk handkerchief. No one knew what was embroidered on it. It looked messy. Apart from its good quality, there was no beauty in it. It didn't look like something Qi Zhao would use.
Besides, it’s a different era now, who would use something like a handkerchief?
Do you think she is dirty?
"How clean are you? Your handkerchief has turned white from washing." Qi Xunsheng murmured.
Qi Zhao paused and looked at the handkerchief.
How come after a thousand years, your mouth is still so poisonous?
"Would you like some baby soup?" Qi Zhao bent down slightly and stared into her eyes.
Qi Xunsheng was initially seduced by these eyes, so much so that when this person stared at her, her body quickly issued a warning and she covered her chest with her arms:
"Don't scare me. I'm not afraid of threats."
"Really? That's a pity."
Qi Xunsheng thought she was threatening him and that the child was referring to her.
I realized it later and realized it——
"What did you do to Minmin?"
"Give her back to me."
Seeing that she cared so much about Shan Xianmin, the teasing smile on Qi Zhao's lips faded. This person is really heartless. There are important people in every life.
Qi Xunsheng felt a chilling chill for the first time in a long time, and was sure that this feeling was emanating from Qi Zhao.
At night, even the most beautiful castle will become eerie and scary.
"you……"
"Those who trespass into my Rose Manor will only receive a minor punishment. Don't worry."
"If you want to punish me, then punish me. I asked her to come with me."
——"If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame my sister."
Such words have been circling in her ears for years, and Qi Zhao has become numb to them.
"I will punish you too, don't worry." Qi Zhao's voice was low, with an ambiguous smile on his face, but that smile had nothing to do with joy, it was more like a teasing.
According to Qi Zhao's status and ability, it would not be a good thing to provoke her. Qi Xunsheng immediately took out her best skills -
"Don't you see who I'm doing this for? I'm doing this just to see you!"
"See me?" Qi Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"That's right! You left without saying goodbye that day, and I saw you on the news. I realized you were so powerful. You were actually Qi Zhao, a business tycoon in Los Angeles! But you never show up in front of people. It took me two whole days to think of a way to meet you. I've never been out so late since I was a child, did you know? In order to see you, I specially asked my good friend to accompany me. Who would have known... who would have known..."
Qi Xunsheng wiped her tears while speaking. She thought she was very good at pretending to be pitiful and making unreasonable demands, and she thought Qi Zhao would have a sense of shame if he was a normal person.
That night, Qi Zhao left without saying goodbye. His irresponsible behavior was despicable.
She shouldn't need to remind me how bad this behavior is, right?
Qi Zhao looked at her quietly, many images flashing through his mind. As time passed, Qi Xunsheng's temperament never changed.
Unfortunately, she had such a thing.
"Which day?"
"You asked me which day?"
Qi Xunsheng opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that these were the words Qi Zhao could say.
"I know you have a big family and a great business, but you can't just take it all away and deny your responsibility, right?" Because of his anger, Qi Xunsheng's voice became much louder, and the sound echoed in the manor.
Qi Zhao: "Oh, you mean that night."
Qi Xunsheng suppressed his anger and waited for her to say the next word.
"Isn't that something we both agreed to?"
Seeing Qi Zhao finally admit what happened that night, she could no longer control her emotions and burst out:
"It's obvious that you deliberately entered my dream, so how can that be considered a consensual thing? I was bewitched by you."
A puzzled expression finally appeared on Qi Zhao's casual face, as if he didn't understand what she said.
Compared to Qi Xunsheng's anger and outburst, Qi Zhao's expression seemed very calm, and he answered her silently.
Qi Xunsheng also got the answer from her reaction.
If it weren't for today's contact, she would still suspect that she had the wrong person, but now she is 100% sure that the person in her dream is Qi Zhao.
If she could quietly get Shan Xianmin away from her sight, then it would definitely not be difficult for her to sneak into other people's dreams.
"Why don't you think about what you said when you asked me to go to the hotel when we were in the bar." Qi Xunsheng tried to reason with her.
Qi Zhao thought for two seconds and said with a smile: "I never remember unimportant things."
Okay, okay, she, Qi Xunsheng, has become that unimportant person.
"Didn't you say I missed you? You shouldn't say that when you first meet, right?" Qi Xunsheng stared at her without blinking, trying to prevent her from lying.
But how could Qi Zhao, who had lived for a thousand years, be easily seen through by her? She curled her lips, smiled charmingly, raised her hand and gently lifted her chin with her index finger, and said frivolously: "What I'm saying is -"
"Don't you want me?"
Qi Xunsheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only slap away her fingertips that were touching his chin. For a moment, he didn't know whether his memory was wrong or the person in front of him had too good acting skills.
But the most urgent task is to find Shan Xianmin.
"Even if you're right, can you give my friend back to me?"
She didn't dare to imagine how scared Dan Xianmin must be at this moment, being alone.
As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Qi Zhao clapped his hands and said lightly, "She fell asleep."
After confirming that Dan Xianmin was in her hands, she actually felt relieved. At the moment, it seemed that this person was just a little mean-spirited, but he had no bad intentions towards her.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Qi Zhao say, "Every outsider who trespasses into Rose Manor will be punished."
"It's me..." Qi Xunsheng was anxious and wanted to take all the blame on himself.
"You," Qi Zhao twitched his lips, "I will punish you too."
To Qi Xunsheng, the voice sounded ethereal and light, powerless, yet eerie and terrifying.
Qi Xunsheng was silent for a while.
"What are you going to do to give my friend back to me?"
Perhaps Qi Zhao's serious tone frightened her. Qi Xunsheng realized that the punishment Qi Zhao was talking about was not a joke, and her words became polite.
But Qi Zhao didn't like her distant politeness.
"You can drink, right? Then have a drink with me." Qi Zhao casually adjusted the hem of her skirt, then turned and left.
Qi Xunsheng followed behind her. The wind blew past her, carrying the fragrance of Qi Zhao lingering in her nostrils. She chose to hold her breath and concentrate.
The ancient castle was opened, and to her surprise, there were no servants inside. It seemed that Qi Zhao was the only one in the entire Rose Manor.
Qi Zhao didn't ask her to sit down but went into another room alone, opened the wine cabinet, and took out two bottles of expensive red wine.
Qi Xunsheng didn't hesitate at all and sat directly on the sofa. Seeing her come back, he asked again, "As long as I drink two glasses of wine with you, will you let my friend go?"
Some people always fail at critical moments. Qi Xunsheng didn't notice that every time she mentioned Shan Xianmin, Qi Zhao's expression became more gloomy.
After a while, a goblet filled with wine was placed in front of her. Qi Zhao raised his chin slightly and said, "Drink."
Although Qi Xunsheng knew that Qi Zhao was not someone to be trifled with, from the first time she saw her, she felt safe around her. A voice told her that Qi Zhao would not hurt her.
Qi Xunsheng measured his alcohol tolerance. It wasn't enough to make him pass out after one glass, but it wasn't too bad either. He was afraid that he would pass out after this glass.
"I can't drink that much."
She had never seen anyone pour a full glass of red wine.
"If I get drunk and do something bad to you, you can't blame me."
Qi Zhao didn't react at all, and his expression seemed to tell her that she had to drink it whether she wanted to or not.
Qi Xunsheng was speechless at such a domineering and powerless way of urging people to drink, but since they were on someone else's territory, she had to give in.
Fortunately, Qi Xunsheng has been smart since he was a child. When he saw that the other party was not willing to take the hard approach, he would try the soft approach.
Since entering the castle, Qi Zhao deliberately kept a distance from her and sat on the sofa opposite.
Qi Xunsheng just moved his seat quietly at first, but when he saw that the distance between them was still so far, he simply stood up and sat down next to her.
Regardless of what harsh words the man had just said to her, she pulled her skirt and started to act coquettishly: "Please, I really can't drink so much, just a little less, just a little less."
While acting coquettishly, he made little movements towards her, his big eyes, which were originally round like black grapes, half opened and half blinked: "Please."
Qi Zhao lowered his eyes to glance at the hem of her skirt, then his gaze returned to her face. In that instant, a myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind. She remained silent for a moment, then poured half of the red wine from her glass.
This person is good at acting like a spoiled child.
Qi Xunsheng was secretly delighted. It turned out that this person would be soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. So she pressed the issue further: "A little less, please."
Unfortunately, Qi Zhao saw through her plan this time and looked at her with a half-smile: "Don't want to drink?"
Qi Xunsheng felt that her look and tone were frightening, so he stopped bargaining. According to her alcohol tolerance, this half glass of red wine would not make her drunk.
So he raised his glass of red wine and drank it all.
After drinking, he immediately stood up from the sofa, put his hands on his hips and returned to his original nature: "Hurry up and hand over my friend."
Qi Zhao had guessed her change of expression a long time ago and was not surprised. She drank her glass of red wine in one gulp. Some of the red wine slid down the corner of her lips. The light in the living room was dim, and the drop of red wine made her look even more charming and attractive.
Qi Xunsheng stood there in a daze, staring at the drop of red wine at the corner of her lips.
At this moment, Qi Zhao suddenly bent down and whispered in her ear, "Help me clean it."
Clean? Clean what?
Qi Xunsheng's mind went blank.
No matter how much she reminded herself that the person in front of her was not a good person, she could not resist every time Qi Zhao suddenly approached her. It seemed as if she had a magical power that could make her let down her guard.
"Are you thinking about what to do with your friend?" Qi Zhao's voice suddenly turned cold.
Qi Xunsheng thought this person was very strange, her mood was always changing, and there was no hiding the threat in her words. Qi Xunsheng was silent for a moment, raised his eyes to look at those charming red lips, put his arms around her neck and kissed her.
The aroma of red wine filled the air between their lips.
Qi Xunsheng's brief taste was interrupted by Qi Zhao, who deepened the kiss uncontrollably, and the taste of red wine spread alternately between their lips and teeth.
