Chapter 288 A Day in the Life of Mr. Qiao (Part 4)
"No one can fall in love with you when they see you."
A cold voice sounded at the palace gate not far away.
Sang Yan looked up and saw Zong Fang standing there, almost blending into the shadows in the corridor.
His hair was cut to shoulder length and was tied low at the back of his head today, making his face look even more handsome. He was wearing brand new clothes and looked much more energetic than the last time he saw him. It was obvious that he had dressed up specially for today.
Zongfang walked in with long legs, looked at Liberi's embarrassment without emotion, and said: "Shame on you."
Libery smiled bitterly, raised her eyes, and cast a sinister glare at him. "How good are you? Haven't you already gone berserk five or six times while she's been away? And that's all I know. When I don't know, what dark corner do you hide in and lock yourself away in?"
He had obviously noticed that Zongfang's attire today was different from his usual decadent attire. He laughed out loud and sarcastically said, "You didn't think she would come today, did you?"
Zong Fang's eyes were slightly stagnant, and he seemed to have no emotion, but his hanging fingertips were trembling slightly.
Sang Yan sighed, his tone somewhat helpless. "Stop arguing! The more you keep doing this, the less likely Sui Sui will want to come." He said to Liberi, "The last time she came back, did you keep pestering her, questioning her about what she did and who she met while she was gone?"
Libery's eyelids twitched and he fell silent.
Zong Fang walked over and looked at the cake that was thrown to the ground by Liberi, and his eyes showed no emotion.
Over the years, his edge has become increasingly restrained, but he has become more unpredictable.
No one in the hall spoke anymore, only Zongfang squatted down gently, picked up a little cream from a clean part of the cake on the ground with his fingers, and put it in his mouth.
"Last month was her birthday, but she didn't come that day. I wonder if anyone helped her celebrate." That day, he held the cake and waited until the sky turned pale, but she didn't show up.
Anubis heard his mumbling, turned his head sadly, and left first.
Seeing that Labery was not in a good condition to discuss business, Sang Yan left as well.
He originally wanted to go back to the Freedom Alliance directly, but when he passed by Qiao Susu's palace, he stopped for some unknown reason.
He pushed the door open and walked in. The hall was pitch black and extremely deserted.
Sang Yan raised his head to breathe, but there was no trace of her scent in the air anymore. She had been gone for too long.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a noise coming from the inner hall.
Sang Yan was overjoyed, thinking that it was Sui Sui who came back, but when she walked into the inner hall, she saw a tall figure curled up on her bed.
Luka bent her legs, held her quilt in her hands, and buried her head deeply in it.
Sang Yan was stunned and called out to Scorsese, but the man didn't respond at all.
He thought the man was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to him, so he wanted to leave quietly, but he heard the man's low mumbling.
Sang Yan walked forward and turned his sideways body over, and saw that Luka's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his whole body was burning hot.
"Scorsese, you have a fever."
Orcs rarely get sick, especially male orcs. And the man before him was Luca Scorsese, the renowned Sword of the Empire, known for his ruthlessness. He could work 24 hours a day without showing any signs of fatigue.
But Luka couldn't hear what he said at all, and his lips continued to move slightly.
Sang Yan leaned over to listen——
The weak voice was hoarse and fragile, and he said: "I will use the medal to wish for you to come back."
Sang Yan didn't understand what he was talking about, but his intuition told him that it must be related to Sui Sui. He helped Luka cover the quilt and called the medical team for him. In the middle of the night, Sang Yan sat on the steps outside Qiao Sui Sui's palace to watch the stars, but suddenly found that the picture in front of him was a little double.
He thought he was dazzled, but when he looked again, there were still two overlapping scenes.
He stood up and walked over, reaching out to touch it, and when he touched it, he found that his arm seemed to be swallowed by an invisible wall.
"This is."
Sang Yan walked into the "wall". The dazzling high-rise buildings, steel and concrete, and the endless stream of cars made his head buzz.
He immediately stepped back, calmed down for a moment, and then, as if remembering something, he decisively walked into the 'wall' again.
At first, he flew aimlessly over the city, but as he passed a building, he detected a familiar scent. Using his orcish senses, he found Qiao Suisui's residence. With his wings flapping, he finally landed outside a window on the eleventh floor.
This is it, there's no mistake.
Sang Yan tried to touch the glass with his dragon claws, but a magical thing happened again. The glass was like a melting water curtain, allowing him to pass through unimpeded.
The next second, a muscular, naked man appeared in the living room.
He casually picked up the shawl on the sofa and wrapped it around his waist, then walked towards the bedroom with a strong sense of direction, because the scent of lily of the valley was always guiding him.
Sang Yan quietly opened the door and saw the man slumped over in the bed in the drowsy bedroom. His eyes burned uncontrollably, and the muscles on both sides of his throat tightened.
Qiao Susu was sleeping soundly, with her fingers slightly curled up beside her face and her silk back slipping down to her waist.
Sang Yan stroked her cheek gently with trembling hands, with unwavering tenderness in his eyes.
He just kept looking at her like this, not knowing how much time had passed. He only felt that light was coming in through the curtains, and it gradually became a little dazzling.
8:45.
The cell phone rang.
Qiao Susu was woken up and turned over and ignored it.
The ringing continued. She got up impatiently and turned it off, then sat on the bed in a daze.
Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were still slightly dazed and sleepy, and her suspender nightgown hung loosely from her shoulders.
Suddenly, she felt a heat on her neck, which made her skin tremble. She raised her hand to touch it, but there was nothing.
"strangeness."
She looked around; there was no one, not even a bug.
Qiao Susu thought she was having an illusion. She just thought someone was hugging her from behind and breathing on her neck.
She picked up her phone and turned off airplane mode, and it immediately started ringing again. First, there were two missed calls from Guan Weizhi, one from 11 o'clock last night and one from 8 o'clock this morning. She wondered, doesn't this guy need to sleep?
Then she saw the red dot on WeChat. She opened it and saw that Han Chen had sent her a bunch of information at three in the morning. Half an hour later, he sent her another completely unrelated message: "When can you come to headquarters? I want to talk to you."
Then, 7 minutes later, he sent another message: "I'll go over there. I should be there in the morning tomorrow."
Crazy, Qiao Suisui thought to herself.
Scrolling down the page, there were messages from work groups and schedule reminders from the secretary. Qiao Jiming was as quiet as a dead person.
Among a pile of work messages, Qiao Susu found a verification message from Gu Mengze, which showed that the way to add the person was through the friend's business card recommendation.
You don't need to ask to know that it was Lin Xixi who pushed her WeChat to Gu Mengze.
At the class reunion that day, Gu Mengze mentioned to her in person that he wanted to add her, but she declined on the grounds that her phone was out of battery. She thought that after one ridiculous night, everyone would just forget about each other, but she was not able to guard against Lin Xixi, the gossipy woman.
