Chapter 430: A glass of wine to cheer you up
In the soft starlight, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the door of the small house.
Wei Changtian first sent Xu Suisui, who had fallen asleep, to the guest room, and then returned to his own room reeking of alcohol.
"Are you back?"
Xu Qingwan, who was doing the accounts in the room, came over immediately and hung up his outer robe for him: "Hmm? Did you go drinking with Miss Xu?"
"Yeah, I drank a little after I accompanied her shopping."
Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief: "This day has exhausted me."
"It's just buying some things, why bother?"
Xu Qingwan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Wei Changtian with a smile: "Miss Xu came all the way here to see you. As her brother, you should treat her better."
"I've been good enough to her."
Wei Changtian pouted and drank the tea in one gulp: "Do you know how much money she spent today?"
"How much?"
Comrade Xiao Xu laughed and said, "You sound like you would feel bad about the money."
“I don’t feel bad, but I think you will feel bad.”
Wei Changtian muttered something softly, and then reported a number under Xu Qingwan's curious gaze.
"More than eight hundred taels."
"Eight hundred taels?"
Xu Qingwan's expression froze, and her little face was instantly filled with pain.
Although she is very rich now, she is still very frugal in her daily life, which is a good example of what "the richer you are, the stingier you are" means.
So when I heard that Xu Suisui had spent eight hundred taels in one day, it would be a lie to say I didn't feel bad.
After all, there was no doubt that this money came from Wei Changtian's pocket.
"What did Miss Xu buy? Why did she spend so much?"
Holding the corner of his clothes, Comrade Xiao Xu first asked a question with grievance, and then quickly added: "I, I'm not stingy about the money."
"Hahaha! I told you you wouldn't want to!"
Seeing her stubborn look of "obviously feeling sorry for her but not wanting to show it", Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you just say that I should treat her better?"
"Well, I just bought some necessary things. I'll have to buy them sooner or later anyway, so don't feel bad about it."
"Besides, there are tens of thousands of taels in and out of Yingfengsheng's account every day. Since you are the head of such a big company, you must be abnormal."
"Pervert?"
"Oh, just change your mindset. Don't be too calculative. As the saying goes, you can only make money if you know how to spend money!"
"Where is this saying from?"
"Don't worry about it, just tell me if it makes sense."
“.”
All the consolation failed to change Comrade Xiao Xu's "hamster" character, and the latter still couldn't forget the eight hundred taels of silver.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian had no choice but to "take action himself" and force the matter to be over with a "pre-sleep exercise".
After the incident, Xu Qingwan stopped muttering and collapsed limply in Wei Changtian's arms, closing her eyes to rest.
The two of them chatted casually like this, and then the topic turned to Xu Suisui.
“Changtian, I always feel that Miss Xu’s words and actions are a little strange.”
"Well, maybe the customs in Daqian are different from those in Daning." Wei Changtian explained casually.
"Really?"
Xu Qingwan leaned into Wei Changtian's arms and said, "Anyway, she is quite similar to you sometimes."
"picture?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "How are we alike?"
"Just talking and stuff. They all like to say new words that we can't understand."
Xu Qingwan smiled and joked: "Changtian, have you also been to Daqian?"
"Well"
Wei Changtian opened his mouth but was unable to respond for a moment.
It was obvious that these words were just spoken casually by Xu Qingwan, and she was not really doubting anything.
But I have to say that Comrade Xiao Xu's sixth sense is indeed quite accurate.
There is no doubt that Xu Suisui, who is also a time traveler, is indeed quite similar to himself.
This "likeness" is not only limited to language, but also includes world views, ways of thinking, ideology and so on.
And this may be the most fundamental reason why Wei Changtian agreed to establish a "revolutionary friendship" with Xu Suisui.
"We are brother and sister after all."
After a pause, Wei Changtian finally found a plausible reason: "It's normal to look a bit like him."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Nodding, Xu Qingwan's voice became smaller and smaller: "Changtian, I'm sleepy."
“Let’s go to bed.”
“.”
When the bright moon reached the highest point in the sky, the "couple's night talk" session ended, and Comrade Xiao Xu soon fell asleep with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Wei Changtian flicked his fingers and used his internal energy to extinguish the candle in the room, then turned around to look at Xu Qingwan who was sleeping peacefully.
Her breathing was even and her long hair was scattered on the pillow like ripples on the surface of a pond caused by the wind.
“.”
"Comrade Wei! I'll blow you a bottle!"
"Wow! I have hair!"
"That's what I told you! How could I die so easily at such a young age?"
"Hahahaha! My illness is cured!!"
“.”
Thinking of Xu Suisui holding her hair and yelling, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that he hadn't been so relaxed like today for a long time.
He seemed to be infected by Xu Suisui's optimistic spirit, and was able to temporarily escape from all kinds of "family feuds and national hatreds" and "conspiracies and calculations".
Wei Changtian didn't know how long this good mood would last, but at this moment he suddenly thought of two lines of poetry -
Thousands of ships pass by the sunken boat, and thousands of trees bloom in front of the dead tree.
Today I will listen to your song and drink a glass of wine to refresh myself.
Three months ago.
Daqian Dynasty, Demon Slaying Division.
"Xu Quan!"
"What about Xu Quan and others?"
"Isn't it his turn to patrol today? Why didn't he come?"
"Your Excellency, we only know that Brother Xu left the city in a hurry this afternoon."
"Out of town? Does anyone know what he went there for?"
"The little people don't know."
"Um?"
“.”
Thirty miles outside the capital of Daqian.
Just as a group of people in the Demon Slaying Division were looking at each other in bewilderment, a man in black was riding his horse at full speed on a path.
This road is far away from the official road. There are very few pedestrians on weekdays, and no one dares to walk on it at night, because there are often ferocious beasts nearby.
However, the man did not encounter any danger along the way.
It was not because he was lucky, but because the monsters hiding in the mountains and forests were all crawling on the ground in fear, as if they had been frightened by some unknown force.
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da"
The sound of hurried horse hooves cut through the night, and dirt and gravel flew into the air.
The man just stared straight ahead with an expressionless face, one hand holding the reins and the other tightly clutching a small note.
[Brother, I'm leaving, don't look for me]
After going out for a while, when he came back, he found that his little sister, who depended on him for everything, was missing, leaving only this dusty note.
The man lost his parents when he was young and this is his only relative.
So no matter what the reason was for the little sister to leave, the man must find her.
"drive!"
With a light shout, the horse's hooves suddenly sped up a bit.
The moonlight above their heads suddenly dimmed. It turned out that a huge blue-black beast leaped over the man and the horse.

Xu Quan, the strange way.
