Chapter 9 Sacrifice: Stay by my side.
Her voice is soft and gentle, her eyes are like stars. When it comes to acting coquettishly, Qi Xun claims to be second to none.
When Qi Yushuang was still alive, she could almost get whatever she wanted, thanks to her sweet mouth.
Seeing Qi Zhao's playful look gradually disappearing under her attack, she acted even more coquettishly.
"Please, Qi Zhao."
"Please, please."
"You're the best."
…
Qi Zhao's eyes were always on her face, and his expression was unpredictable. Qi Xunsheng just took it as a sign of hesitation.
After a long while, when she was exhausted and thirsty, Qi Zhao finally opened her noble mouth -
"No."
"That's really..." Qi Xunsheng's face suddenly fell in the middle of the celebration. He put his hands on his hips and frowned at her, "What did you say!"
Qi Zhao's eyes were clear, not even slightly bewildered. She half stood up and poured her half a glass of red wine: "Drink it."
Qi Xunsheng pushed him away and refused, "I don't want to drink. I want to save my friend."
As soon as the words fell, Qi Zhao's expression suddenly changed, as if gloomy dark clouds had covered the originally clear sky, filling it with haze, and the words he spoke also carried a chilling tone -
"Why do you always mention others every time we meet?"
"Because I came to you to save my friend. If I don't mention her, should I mention you?" Qi Xunsheng shrank back, but still held his head high and spoke directly into her eyes.
This person is really weird. Are they familiar with each other? Why is he so angry?
"That's right," Qi Zhao placed half a glass of red wine on the coffee table, then lay on the sofa with his legs folded, holding his chin and looking at her with a smile, "Then why should I save your friend?"
“…”
Qi Xunsheng calmed down, realizing that this person was not someone who could be easily fooled. She asked, "How can you help me?"
Qi Zhao raised his lips and hooked his finger at her.
Qi Xunsheng half-knelt down and leaned close to her. The hot breath she exhaled lingered in her ears, making them feel itchy and hot.
Half an hour later, she returned to Shan Xianmin's house. At this time, only Gu Yue and her senior were in the room.
"He actually came back alive."
When they met, Gu Yue was still as annoying as ever.
She handed the red wine in her hand to Gu Yue and said, "Just give it to her to drink."
"Are you sure?" Gu Yue checked carefully and found that this red wine had a charming aroma, which was different from ordinary red wine.
"Qi Zhao gave it to me."
"Do you believe her if she gives it to you?"
"The only reason I'm okay is because she gave me this to drink."
Although Qi Xunsheng didn't want to explain so much to her, he had to put the conflict aside temporarily for the sake of Shan Xianmin's recovery.
"Why did she give you the drink? Do you know each other?" Gu Yue's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he held her arm. "Let me ask you a question, how do you know her?"
"What does it have to do with you! Can you please let Minmin wake up first?" Qi Xunsheng pulled his elbow out of her hand, his eyes full of confusion.
"Ayue, Xunsheng is right, save Minmin first." The senior student next to her also spoke.
Gu Yue was still very angry. When she turned around, she reminded Qi Xunsheng: "I'm reminding you for the sake of the teacher. If you want to live, stay away from Qi Zhao."
Qi Xunsheng hated being lectured by others, especially in the name of a teacher. She murmured, "You're not a good person either."
He has disliked her since the moment they met and treated her like a disaster. Now that he is advising her to stay away from Qi Zhao, doesn't that mean he is also advising others to stay away from her?
Gu Yue was irritated by her and glared at her.
Qi Xunsheng chose not to look at her. She asked her senior, "Where are Aunt Shan and the others?"
"It's because of you that Aunt Shan fainted from excessive grief." Without waiting for the senior to speak, Gu Yue rushed to answer with an unfriendly tone.
Every minute he spent with her, Qi Xunsheng wanted to tear her mouth apart.
In order to avoid doing something terrible, Qi Xunsheng chose to keep quiet. She waited until Shan Xianmin's temperature dropped before she left with peace of mind.
"Where are you going?" Gu Yue asked when he saw her turn around.
"Go home." Qi Xunsheng replied.
…
What Qi Xunsheng said about going home was not entirely correct, because after returning home, she packed some things, explained things to Aunt Zhang, and then left.
It was late at night and everyone was getting ready for bed, but she was the only one heading towards the wilderness.
She had to be back at the castle by ten o'clock at night.
It's already past nine o'clock.
Looking at the vast expanse of rose bushes in front of him, Qi Xunsheng sighed, wondering who could have hidden the castle so deep that it couldn't be seen from the outside at all.
As she walked along the path, she suddenly remembered something.
She opened the map and was surprised to find that there was only Kunling Mountain between here and Beilu Village.
After crossing Kunling Mountain, you will reach Beilu Village.
The reason why this place has not received as much attention as Beilu Village is because of the terrain. To enter Kunling Mountain from here, one needs to cross a lake.
But there are rumors that this lake is cursed. It is said that there are water ghosts underneath, and anything passing through the lake is a sacrifice. Over time, no one dared to set foot in it.
No wonder they all said that this place was unlucky and not a suitable place to plant flowers, but what they didn’t know was that there were more than just flowers planted here, there was also a castle deep among the roses.
Perhaps because she was familiar with it, it took her less time to reach the castle this time. After a while, she saw the castle with lights hanging at the door.
Although the castle is beautiful, it is not very popular and its style is dark, which makes it look very eerie and scary late at night.
She promised Qi Zhao to stay here for seven days.
The thought of living in a place that looked like a horror movie set for seven days made her want to back off.
But when she thought about how Qi Zhao, the stingy guy, would take revenge on her, she gave up.
The door was open as usual, and she walked in slowly.
"Bang--" She heard the door suddenly close, and the moment it closed, all the lights in the room lit up.
It wasn't very bright, but at least there was enough light to see the road and direction. Not seeing Qi Zhao, she called out twice, but no one responded.
She was angry. She couldn't be left here alone, could she?
"If you don't say anything, I'll leave."
“…”
Qi Xunsheng stomped her feet in anger, used all her strength to open the door, and walked out, thinking to herself that she had already been here, so if she wanted to blame anyone, she should blame Qi Zhao for not being there.
After walking along the same route for almost half an hour, she finally realized something was wrong.
She was going in circles around the same spot.
She couldn't get out.
She had only seen this kind of situation when she was a child.
"You can hear me, right? Tell me where the road is." Qi Xunsheng was angry. He grabbed a rose by the roadside and started talking to himself.
Every time she came, all the roses here faced away from her. The closer she got, the more the flowers retreated, as if they were afraid of hurting her.
She couldn't hear the roses talking, and in a fit of anger she wanted to break off their petals, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She turned back and walked back, no longer going in circles, and successfully returned to the castle. She pushed open the door, and Qi Zhao, who had disappeared just now, was now lazily leaning on the sofa. He raised his eyes lazily when he heard the voice, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Just stay by my side, okay?"
