Chapter 55 Los Angeles
Seeing Liang Qi's hesitation in speaking, Chen Xiyu gently covered his hand and said, "It's okay. Wait until you want to talk."
"Yeah." Liang Qi held her hand back.
I felt the vibration of my phone, opened the screen, and saw a message from Chen Ningzhou.
——Let me know when you get there.
Shen Xiyu only told Chen Ningzhou about her and Liang Qi's trip to Luocheng, and did not have time to tell anyone else.
--knew.
Shen Xiyu replied to him.

After landing, the Los Angeles airport was packed. It was the peak season for people returning home for the Spring Festival, and Los Angeles, as the capital, was usually crowded, and now it was even more crowded.
"Young Master."
A muscular man in a black suit appeared in their sight.
"Butler Qian is in the car outside. He sent me to pick you up."
"Lead the way." Liang Qi became a little wary of the man because he looked unfamiliar.
"Master?"
Liang Qi knocked on the girl's head and said, "Don't shout like that again."
"This is my grandfather's family. The old man has a lot of rules."
Shen Xiyu suddenly reacted.
"Are you going directly to your grandfather's house? Then I'll book a hotel."
As he said that, he took out his cell phone and went to check the hotel.
"What are you thinking about?" Liang Qi took away her phone.
"No, go home first."
"Oh." After answering, Shen Xiyu suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, I'm going back to your house with you?"
Liang Qi bent down and put his arm around her shoulders. "What else?"
"No, no, I won't go." Shen Xiyu ducked and dodged.
"Why?" Liang Qi followed her. "How could the fearless Chen Xiyu be afraid of meeting her parents?"
"It's just that it's too fast. We... it's too fast anyway. I don't think it's the right time."
After leaving the airport, the biting wind made Shen Xiyu shrink his neck.
Liang Qi took two steps forward and stood side by side with Shen Xiyu.
"It's very windy here in the winter, and it doesn't snow as often as in Jiangcheng."
"I've been to a small town in western Kazakhstan before." Shen Xiyu pulled his mask back over his face. "The winter there is just like here."
"I was planning to go there for fun, but because of the strong winds, I ended up staying in a guesthouse for the entire holiday. Luckily, I was always lucky and ran into a group of people who were also trapped in their homes by the strong winds."
"I listen to all kinds of people's stories, and then tell them my own. It's magical, really magical. At that time, it's like someone else's life is intertwined with my life. When I am there, I feel like a completely different person."
Liang Qi put his hat on Shen Xiyu's head and listened to her continue.
"I often make up my own names. It's strange, right? But in that kind of environment, in a foreign country, using a made-up name allowed me to open up and be unrestrained."
Sand blew into Shen Xiyu's eyes, and her eyelashes trembled quickly a few times, like a butterfly flapping its wings but not flying.
"What happened next?" Liang Qi asked, "Did you guys keep in touch?"
"No, I left a fake contact number."
"Why?"
"because……"
"Because we should leave." Shen Xiyu looked at the car parked in front of the two of them.
"Young Master." An elderly man with gray hair opened the car door. His eyes fell on Shen Xiyu's face. Although he was kind and gentle, Shen Xiyu always felt like he was being scrutinized and unconsciously avoided his gaze.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything and didn't even ask Liang Qi.
"Just go in, Grandpa Qian."
“…”
*
"Is Grandpa waiting for me?"
In the car, Liang Qi asked Butler Qian who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"The master said to send you home. Once you are settled, you can go to the old house again." Butler Qian tilted his head slightly and answered him.
"Okay, I understand."
"When did you go over there so I could send someone to pick you up?"
Liang Qi turned the phone in his hand and thought for a moment, "No, I'll go there myself."
"OK."
Shen Xiyu was extremely anxious at this moment.
She pulled at the corner of Liang Qi's clothes, and the boy's eyes fell on her, asking her what was wrong with his eyes.
Shen Xiyu pointed at his phone and motioned him to look at it.
——Magrim: I have booked a hotel.
When Liang Qi saw the news, he frowned and looked a little unhappy.
Shen Xiyu thought about it, then lowered his head and put his fingers on the keyboard.
——Magrim: I can’t handle that kind of situation, so let’s just stay at your house.
Although Liang Qi was reluctant, she knew Shen Xiyu's temper. If she pushed her too far, the two of them would definitely have a cold war. In fact, this was also her fault. They had not discussed this matter in advance before leaving. Shen Xiyu acquiesced to going to the hotel, and Liang Qi also acquiesced that since they had come to Luocheng, it was understandable to go to her own home.
"Where is the location? Let's go to the hotel first." Liang Qi turned off his phone and asked Shen Xiyu beside him.
Chen Xiyu didn't say anything, but placed the hotel information page on her phone in front of him. Liang Qi reached out and took her phone.
In fact, Chen Xiyu was also a little annoyed. She felt that Liang Qi was a little too anxious. The two of them had been getting closer these days, but Liang Qi insisted on asking her to go back with him to meet his parents, which made her start to re-examine herself and Liang Qi and their relationship.
She couldn't help but wonder if she was losing herself in Liang Qi's gradual conquest.
This didn't seem to be her original intention for starting this relationship with Liang Qi. Shen Xiyu always felt that she was sorry for Liang Qi. She saw all the good things Liang Qi did for her, but she didn't want to take it seriously at the beginning. She liked Liang Qi, even loved him, so her initial rejection was because she didn't want to hurt him, and she also didn't want to get hurt herself.
They have too many conceptual differences. Liang Qi wants a stable and long-term relationship, but Chen Xiyu always secretly blames him for being too unrealistic. Given their current age and mental state, aren't those sweet words and those irresistible behaviors the result of hormones?
When all external factors that affect their true emotions fade away, how much love will be left? When the pressure of reality comes, how much like will remain?
But……
But why am I now so addicted to it that I can't help myself?
"Grandpa Qian, let's go to Luofeng Hotel first."
"OK."
The driver changed his route and headed north towards Los Angeles.
The two of them did not speak a word because there were outsiders present and there was also some anger involved.
After the car stopped in front of the hotel, the man who had just picked them up opened the car door first and went to take the luggage from the trunk.
"Then I'll go first." Shen Xiyu didn't look back at Liang Qi. He opened the car door and got out after saying that.
Liang Qi lay on the seat with his arms folded, staring at Shen Xiyu's back until she turned behind the car and could no longer be seen.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "Grandpa Qian, you guys go back." Then he opened the car door and got out.
"We can't bring the person back again." Butler Qian smiled and shook his head.
Shen Xiyu pulled his suitcase to the front desk to check in.
Liang Qi had few things, only a suitcase that barely reached his knees.
"Young Master, the master is waiting for you at the old house."
"Got it." Liang Qi looked at Shen Xiyu waiting at the front desk, a little absent-mindedly, "By the way, don't tell grandpa that I brought people back."
Butler Qian did not express his attitude and still had a smiling face and a calm expression, but his words were not as soft as they appeared.
"The master will know sooner or later, so you'd better make preparations early."
"Will my uncle and his family come back this year?" Liang Qi knew that some things only needed to be said briefly, so he didn't continue the previous topic.
"Not sure yet. Your aunt hasn't dealt with it yet."
Ever since Grandpa Liang brought his second son into politics, his uncle and aunt have risen through the ranks. His aunt even rose to the position of Director of the Education Bureau this year. This has caused a flurry of discussion in the social circles, nearly destroying the reputation the Liang family had accumulated over the years. Although Liang Qi was far away in Jiangcheng, he had heard many rumors, not to mention the Liang family members in Luocheng.
But there was really no one in Liang's father's generation who could take on important tasks. In order to cut ties with the Liang family headquarters and avoid problems in his brother's career, Liang's father even moved the company headquarters abroad.
I didn't expect that my uncle still couldn't change his flamboyant nature. He really thought that the couple were able to sit in high positions because of their own abilities. In fact, they had consumed all the family heritage and were not worthy of their positions.
"A big tree attracts the wind, and it doesn't know how to restrain itself." Liang Qi said this in a voice neither loud nor soft, with no intention of avoiding Butler Qian.
Butler Qian also knew that these words were addressed to him as the messenger, but he still kept his head down and was very respectful.
"Okay, Grandpa Qian, you go back and take good care of grandpa. I'll be there in two days."
After saying that, Liang Qi pulled the suitcase and followed Shen Xiyu who was about to enter the elevator.
The elevator was about to close, and a broad hand pressed down the door that was about to close.
It’s Liang Qi.
Shen Xiyu was a little surprised, but did not show it. He stood quietly in the corner.
There were not many people in the elevator, only two or three standing here and there.
After Liang Qi came in, he stood next to Shen Xiyu with a clear purpose.
Shen Xiyu leaned against the corner, the sudden arrival blocking her view of the ticking elevator number. She simply turned her face away.
But the shadow in front of me was getting closer and closer, and a familiar smell was also poured into my nose.
Shen Xiyu opened her eyes. There was clearly no one else in the elevator, but Liang Qi was getting closer and closer, almost pressing his whole body on her.
"Are your legs lame? Can't you stand on your own?" Shen Xiyu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Liang Qi lowered his head, the tip of his nose almost touching the top of her head, "Yes, I have to rely on you."
"Don't give me that. I don't want to eat now." Shen Xiyu tilted his head back.
The elevator quickly reached their floor.
The two walked out of the elevator one after the other.
"What are you doing?" Shen Xiyu turned around and asked the follower behind him.
Liang Qi shrugged, his expression not at all innocent, "Let's go to the room."
"No?" Shen Xiyu only then noticed that he was pulling his suitcase. Just now, he was busy whispering to him in the elevator and didn't notice the small suitcase he was pulling.
"You're going back to your own home. Why don't you go back and stay in a hotel?"
"yes."
Liang Qi spoke so frankly that Shen Xiyu felt for a moment that the question he asked was abnormal.
