Li Wei sat in the back seat of a luxury business car, rolled down the window, and glanced at the crowd outside who were seeing her off.
The unfamiliar "parents" were surrounded and stood in the front row. They wanted to get closer but hesitated and wandered; they had a smile on their faces, but it was forced.
Li Wei even felt a restrained... hint of flattery between their brows?
In short, the acting skills are completely off the charts...
On the contrary, the "lotus fairies" of the Jiang family next to her were all very enthusiastic, staring at the little white lotus mark on her forehead with burning eyes, making her feel like a husky mixed with a wolf pack.
With her greatly enhanced memory, Li Wei tried hard to recognize each face, smiling and waving goodbye, her mouth almost frozen.
During this time, she subconsciously searched the crowd but could not find Jiang Han.
It’s strange. He was fine before, so why didn’t he even show up before leaving?
This guy helped me a lot, but I didn't have the chance to thank him properly.
[Forget it, we’ll meet again someday.] She thought.
Finally, the vehicle started and the windows rolled up, blocking out the sight and sound from outside.
Li Wei let out a long sigh, slumped down on the soft chair, looked at Liang Qiushi next to her, and said casually: "Aunt Liang, it's a good thing you came, otherwise I would be really annoyed to death by them."
Liang Qiushi's lips curled up into a smile, obviously she felt the same way. She picked up the remote control at hand and pressed it lightly, and the partition between the driver's seat and the back seat rose silently.
Li Wei curiously reached out and knocked on the high-end-looking partition: "Is this soundproof?"
In my two lifetimes combined, I have never ridden in a luxury car with a partition like this.
"It has a built-in electromagnetic silencer system, which is completely soundproof," Liang Qiushi explained.
"Oh, Soudais... ahem, so that's how it is." Li Wei almost blurted out a sentence in Japanese-style Chinese, and her face became slightly hot. There are no anti-Japanese dramas here, so she has to change this habit.
Liang Qiushi didn't care. He smiled and said softly, "To be honest, I didn't expect that you would still be willing to fulfill the agreement."
“It should be.”
Li Wei didn't think she was particularly noble. She just wanted to get what she wanted. Her goals didn't conflict with Liang Qiushi's plans.
Liang Qiushi looked at her calm and gentle face, his eyes softened, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand to brush away a strand of hair from her cheek.
Li Wei subconsciously tensed her body and tried to lean back, but her movement stopped.
The warm touch from her fingertips brought a hint of unfamiliar warmth, which made her eyes inexplicably sore.
The little figure at the window of the orphanage, watching the happy scene of another family of three, seemed to appear before my eyes again.
He had also imagined what life would be like with parents.
The answer was in the original body's memory, but every time I looked it up, it was accompanied by unspeakable pain.
At this moment, Liang Qiushi's gentle movements made the two blurry faces of his mother in his memory gradually overlap.
One photo was of the original body's mother; the other was of the ordinary, somewhat short and fat woman outside the orphanage.
A drop of warmth slid down the corner of his eye without warning.
Li Wei suddenly came back to her senses and tried to raise her hand to wipe it off in a panic to cover up this sudden loss of composure.
Liang Qiushi's fingers gently stroked her cheek first, his movements were incredibly gentle.
"Sorry, Aunt Liang..." Li Wei tried to explain.
The next moment, in front of Li Wei's stunned gaze, Liang Qiushi pulled her into his arms, his gentle chin resting on the top of her head, his voice choked with an imperceptible sob: "Li Wei, I'm sorry..."
Li Wei's whole face was unexpectedly buried in Liang Qiushi's soft chest. She instantly felt the blood rushing up and her cheeks were so hot that she could fry an egg.
All the maternal love and tenderness, all the sentimental nostalgia, were swept away by this sudden feeling of suffocation and embarrassment...
All she could think about now was... Yukiko... lack of oxygen...
"Hmm~"
......
After a flurry of activity, the two separated and sat back in their original seats awkwardly.
"Ahem~"
Liang Qiushi cleared his throat and regained his usual dignified composure: "The Gu family has spies from the Zhang family. Remember, don't reveal any flaws."
Li Wei quickly sat up straight and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Don't suppress your strength, just perform when you need to." Liang Qiushi was still a little worried and gave another reminder.
Li Wei nodded again: "I understand!"
Liang Qiushi looked at her and slowed down his tone: "If you have any questions or need anything, you can tell me now."
Li Wei immediately perked up and asked, "When can I see Li Cheng?"
Liang Qiushi pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe mid-August. I need to make some arrangements to keep it secret."
"Okay." Li Wei nodded to show her understanding. Liang Qiushi is cautious in his work, and rash contact may indeed cause trouble.
It would be nice to have a specific time, she thought.
Li Wei then asked, "I learned etiquette in England... only so-so, what do you think?"
"That's fine." Liang Qiushi waved his hand. "I just want you to understand some basic common sense and avoid making stupid mistakes. We are a martial arts family, not one of those worldly wealthy families that pay attention to red tape. We don't have so many rules."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "I am now a first-level warrior. Can I go to the rift and kill the abyss monster?"
Liang Qiushi nodded: "You can go, it would be good to familiarize yourself with it beforehand. But you can only move around the periphery, don't go too deep. With your current strength, as long as you don't do anything stupid, your safety shouldn't be a big problem."
When saying these words, Liang Qiushi was a little dazed.
More than ten days ago, when I first met Li Wei, she was still a quasi-warrior at the stage of muscle and bone resonance.
