When knocking Liang Meng down from the tree, Qi Zhen used his spiritual power to light the lantern under the eaves not far from the jujube tree.
Qi Zhen's face was cold in the moonlight and candlelight. He stared at Liang Meng with his eyes narrowed and warily, and his whole body was tense to the highest level of alert.
But Zhilan behind him stood on tiptoe and poked her furry little head out from under Qi Zhen's shoulder, her rolling eyes looking from Liang Meng to Qi Zhen.
Full of confusion.
"Brother Zhen, who is she?"
"Girl, why are you still here so late?"
Qi Zhen did not answer his lover's question. He raised his arm, patted the little head gently, and then pressed it down again. The tone of his questioning Liang Meng was like questioning an enemy.
"Uh... I'm so sorry. I missed my family so much in this strange place that I went out to the yard and climbed a tree to look at the moon to ease my longing. I didn't expect to disturb you two. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
Liang Meng lied without hesitation and bowed to Qi Zhen apologetically while speaking.
In order to show how much he missed his family, he even lifted up his sleeves and wiped the dry corners of his eyes.
The nasal cavity also twitched twice in tacit coordination.
Before Qi Zhen could say anything, Zhilan cautiously poked her head out from behind him. She glanced at Liang Meng kindly, her innocent eyes like a little rabbit.
Liang Meng smiled at her, tilted her head and waved hello, and Zhilan stood out from behind Qi Zhen.
He is shorter and thinner than Liang Meng.
Although she is petite, she has a face as bright and beautiful as a sunflower, and her curved eyebrows are as gentle as a gentle breeze.
She was wearing a pink long dress embroidered with peach blossoms, and her black and smooth hair was combed into a cute bun with a peach blossom hairpin inserted in the bun.
In a word, this is a girl that you can fall in love with at first sight.
"Who are you? You're at Brother Zhen's house, why have I never seen you before?"
The voices are so soft and sweet.
"This girl is my father's guest. She just arrived here today."
Before Liang Meng could figure out what to say, Qi Zhen had already spoken for her.
Zhilan nodded, walked forward, took Liang Meng's hand affectionately, and asked bluntly.
"Did you overhear everything Brother Zhen and I said just now from the tree?"
Uh? Girl, eavesdropping, isn't that the right word?
Liang Meng felt a little uncomfortable because of Zhilan's bluntness. He raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose, then awkwardly tried to defend himself again.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. It's just that the moonlight tonight is so beautiful that it reminds me of you. I..."
"Then you have to keep the secret for us."
The lovely Zhilan did not mean to blame Liang Meng at all. She just held Liang Meng's hand and begged softly.
"Hmm? What's the secret?"
Liang Meng didn't understand what Zhilan meant for a moment.
"It's just me and Brother Zhen, the two of us..."
As Zhilan spoke, a blush spread across her face, and she raised her watery eyes to look at Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen smiled and rubbed Zhilan's head lovingly.
The two of them were showing their affection openly as if no one was around. Liang Meng felt very uncomfortable and shook her shoulders, getting goose bumps all over her body.
These two people are not just abusing dogs, they are simply slaughtering them.
"Don't worry. I heard nothing and saw nothing tonight."
Liang Meng coughed twice, interrupting the affectionate glances between the two, and made a promise to Zhilan.
"Thank you, sis. Can I call you sis?"
"Of course. I'd love to."
Hearing Liang Meng say this, Zhilan smiled brightly and cutely again.
Looking at such a bright smile, Liang Meng couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
It's really hard not to be attracted to this girl. Qi Zhen is really lucky.
But……
Liang Meng suddenly thought of the ending of her and Qi Zhen, and her heart was immediately filled with a real feeling of regret and pain.
She could hardly imagine that such a woman who was as beautiful as the morning sun and the gentle breeze would eventually die tragically in her bright red wedding dress and full of resentment.
Zhilan tilted her head, frowned cutely, and looked at Liang Meng with puzzled eyes.
Why is this person in front of me so strange? He was smiling just now, but the way he looked at me in the blink of an eye was so... so...
It feels like I am a poor little thing that no one loves or cares for me.
"Sister? Sister??"
Wow!!!
"Hmm? Wha...what happened?"
Liang Meng was lost in thought as he thought about Zhilan's ending, when suddenly a small white hand appeared in front of him.
Liang Meng was startled, her eyes widened and she took a step back.
"Okay, Lan'er, it's too late. I'll take you home."
Qi Zhen interrupted Zhilan's conversation with Liang Meng. He held Zhilan's hand tightly in his palm, nodded politely to Liang Meng, and left with Zhilan.
"Sister, my name is Zhilan..."
The crisp and melodious ending sound disappeared in the night wind.
Liang Meng stood under the jujube tree motionless for a long time after Qi Zhen and Zhilan left.
What was the reason that Qi Zhen couldn't bring himself to say for giving up Zhilan?
That night, Liang Meng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
In my mind and in front of my eyes, all I could see was Zhilan’s bright smile.
For several days after that day, Liang Meng had no contact with Qi Zhen or Zhilan.
During the time he lived in the Qi Mansion, Liang Meng truly experienced what it meant to be idle to the point of limb atrophy.
All she did all day was eat and sleep. She wanted to do something to kill time, but just as she raised her hand, Auntie Wu appeared and said, "Miss, just tell me what you need." Liang Meng could do nothing anymore.
Liang Meng was very sure that if he continued to live like this for a few more days, he would be almost ruined.
Fortunately, Liang Meng's nightmare of enjoying himself like a useless person soon ended.
Because she was robbed.
The one who robbed her was Zang Lingyang, who had fought with Uncle Qi and the others that day.
Originally, with Liang Meng's spiritual power, the Tibetan antelopes were not that capable. However, the Tibetan antelopes were not very strong in fighting, but they were very smart in thinking of tricks.
That day, Qi Zhen, who had not appeared for several days, suddenly appeared in front of Liang Meng, speaking hesitantly and with evasive eyes.
He looked guilty and wretched, a far cry from his usual self.
Liang Meng could of course see such an obvious difference, but she found a very reasonable reason for Qi Zhen's abnormality.
She thought that Qi Zhen was embarrassed to see her because she had discovered the secret between him and Zhilan that day.
Good! What a master who is good at reading people's minds.
Because of this, Liang Meng thought Qi Zhen was looking for her to talk about him and Zhilan, so she easily followed Qi Zhen.
They walked into the dense woods not far from Qi Mansion.
"Qi Zhen, why are you looking for me? It's because of that night..."
Before she could finish her words, Liang Meng stopped talking because she saw Qi Zhen, who had turned around in front of her, smiling with a sinister smile that showed that he had succeeded in his evil plan.
Liang Meng's heart was filled with alarm, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back. But before she could react, there was a whoosh, and the fallen leaves were thrown all over the ground.
