Chapter 43 I’ll Be Your Father in the Next Life
Chief Qi then moved closer to Ms. Xia and spread his hands towards the camera. "I can't help it. Dad is too weak, you know."
Ms. Xia slapped Chief Qi off the screen and scolded him, "Stop making trouble."
"Xiao Jing, I'm really sorry for leaving such a mess for you."
"But don't worry, don't get too tired. Mom has asked Erlanni for help, so you can take your time. Mom has helped Erlanni a lot in the past, so it won't be a problem if you bother him a little more!"
"Mom and Dad are sorry that we can't let you be a normal, happy child..."
"I can't take it anymore. I feel like crying." Ms. Xia left the screen herself and pulled Chief Qi back.
Chief Qi stared at the camera for a long time, then lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "Son, I don't know what to say... Although I'm not a very good father, I think you still love me very much. After all, I'm such a good person."
"If you miss me... those old guys at the World Affairs Bureau would probably make a life-size sculpture of me or something. You can have someone move home, and it would be best if they could also carve a Xia girl for me..."
Chief Qi was kicked by Ms. Xia, leaving a shadow behind. "Who are you trying to annoy?"
Ms. Xia straightened her clothes and looked gentle and elegant again. "Xiao Jing, you must drink blood well. If you are hungry and others bully you and you can't fight back, I will be heartbroken."
"Among the elders in our group, there are two who are particularly sick. If you're in a good mood, you can go crazy and bully them for a bit, but if you're in a bad mood, you can just... just curse at them to vent your anger."
"Elder Fang is bald, and Elder Xie's grandson was cursed in the face."
"Also, if you come across a document you don't want to deal with, give it to Erlanni first. If Erlanni can't handle it, you can arrange an emergency meeting, slam the document on the conference table, and act like it. Your line is 'I have to handle everything.'"
Ms. Xia kept muttering about a lot of trivial matters.
Chief Qi would come out from time to time and make outrageous suggestions.
Qi Sijing watched the video three times before turning off the virtual screen.
He went to the refrigerator and took out two popsicles, handed one to Gu Langyan, and kept the other for himself to apply to his eyes.
Gu Langyan is not good at coaxing people, and his emotions are not much more stable than Qi Sijing's, which will directly make Gu Buyan take the top spot.
Qi Sijing applied the mask to his eyes for a while, ate the popsicle with a few clicks, picked up the information Erlanni had given him during the day and started reading.
He hadn't used the processor when he hadn't coaxed himself into submission, but now that he had, he turned on the dual-core processor to get things done. While taking notes, he asked Gu Langyan, "Is Min Nian done with that?"
"Yeah." Gu Langyan, holding a popsicle in his mouth, was reading another document. Upon hearing this, he glanced up to confirm Qi Sijing's condition before continuing, "Thirty-seven human children, twenty-seven confirmed dead. Yueyue, Xia Yi, Xia Yun, Xia Zang, Xia Yi, Liangsheng, Mengmeng, Ting'an, Xu Xi, and Yichen—these ten children are in their hands."
"It's been confirmed that it was done by the Human Independence Organization. They still have five vampire children in their hands. From the remaining twenty-eight vampire children..." Gu Langyan paused, not saying the last two words. "Be prepared."
Qi Sijing paused flipping through the documents and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Gu Langyan threw the stick into the trash can and wiped his hands. "The General World Affairs Bureau is too chaotic right now. It's unwise for you to go to West Suburb 173 tomorrow."
Qi Sijing pulled the corner of his mouth, "What about my fifteen brothers and sisters?"
Gu Langyan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Qi Sijing, "Do you know how Yin Zhuo's mother died?"
"Don't say it." Qi Sijing turned the page of the information back. "Maybe that's how I'm going to die. Knowing how I'm going to die in advance is always harmful."
Gu Langyan was silent for a while, staring at Qi Sijing and whispered, "You are the king now."
Qi Sijing looked back. His usually lively and bright eyes were now as still as water, and even his tone was flat. "My family is dying, and for the sake of my people's reputation, I have to make staying alive my top priority and carry the first banner."
"I am the king now. My subjects respect me and I have to take responsibility. But I still have fifteen brothers and sisters who love me. Should I pretend to be dead?"
Gu Langyan grabbed a cigarette from the coffee table and lit it, his voice a little hoarse, "You want me to leave you to die?"
"If I really die, then going there will be like going home. Don't be angry. I will be your father in the next life. You can do whatever you want to me."
Gu Langyan: "Get lost."
Qi Sijing ignored Gu Langyan's curse words and finished what he wanted to say. "I just feel a little sorry for my brother... If I died in front of him, he would definitely hate me to death."
Gu Langyan had no expression on his face. "If you die in front of him, you will be reunited."
Qi Sijing was silent for two seconds, then lit a cigarette. "That makes sense. He loves me to death now."
Gu Langyan sneered and didn't want to talk anymore.
Qi Sijing suddenly stood up and looked back at Gu Langyan, "What time is it now?"
Gu Langyan: "Two o'clock in the morning."
Qi Sijing: "I have a wish before I die..."
Gu Langyan: "Get lost."
Qi Sijing sighed and extended his right hand towards Gu Langyan, "How about being kind to your teammates?"
Gu Langyan held his hand with a cold face and stood up with the help of his force. "What do you want to do now?"
"I took my brother to Hanwu Temple to pray for blessings before. I want to know what my brother wrote that day." Qi Sijing went to the bathroom to wash his face and rinsed the blood off his hands. Then he changed his combat uniform and put on Qi Juchen's clothes.
He took a hat and gave it to Gu Langyan, and put on his own hood. "I will go and pray for a good marriage for you when the sun comes up."
Gu Langyan put on his hat and walked out, his face as stinky as it could be, "No need."
"Why don't you need it?" Qi Sijing took two steps to catch up and sighed, "You're all alone and helpless. I won't be able to close my eyes when I die."
Qi Sijing completely destroyed the empathy that Gu Langyan had, "Besides, I'll send you away now."
Qi Sijing sadly stopped mic.
Hanwu Temple was extremely quiet in the early morning, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops.
Qi Sijing found the prayer tree based on his memory. He looked up at the prayer tree for a while before strolling to the right side of the tree to find the prayer board written by Qi Juchen.
Gu Langyan sat on the rocks by the lake, folded his arms and waited quietly.
The vampires have extremely strong night vision. Qi Sijing glanced at the wooden signs filled with wishes and stopped his gaze on a somewhat faded prayer sign.
He stared at the wooden sign for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. He was silent for a while and silently pulled the corners of his mouth.
His hoarse voice broke the silence of the temple, "Yanyan, am I too greedy?"
Gu Langyan frowned and stood up and walked to his side, "What are you crazy about?"
"...I'm not crazy." Qi Sijing was trembling all over, as if he could not hold on any longer, and slowly bent down.
The sentence was so silent that Gu Langyan couldn't hear it clearly. Gu Langyan frowned and raised his head, and when he saw the prayer card, he was speechless for a long time.
