Chapter 767: Xi Family Boy, Be More Reserved
Cheng Jinyan had some guesses in his mind.
However, he was not too sure. After all, the legend had disappeared from the imperial capital for nearly twenty years. How could it be such a coincidence that he became Ruan Qi's master?
Cheng Jinyan pushed his glasses calmly.
"It's Senior Nie." His tone was calm but polite. "Thank you for helping me with the surgery last night. You worked so hard."
Nie Beilou raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could speak, Cheng Jinyan said, "Excuse me, what is Senior Nie's full name?"
"Nie Beilou." The little girl's soft voice sounded.
“???” Cheng Jinyan looked at Ruan Qi in disbelief.
Ruan Qi thought he hadn't heard clearly, so she kindly repeated, "Mr. Cheng, my master's name is Nie Beilou. Nie (耳) is also Nie, which means Beilou in the sense of east, west, south, and north."
After that, she asked curiously, "Mr. Cheng knows my master?"
"..." Cheng Jinyan came back to his senses and shook his head slowly, "I don't know him."
"But Mr. Beilou's name is well-known."
As Cheng Jinyan spoke, he took a deep breath, suppressed his shock in his heart, and then looked at Ruan Qi with complicated eyes.
"Miss Ruan," he said, "You told me your master's identity so easily. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"
Ruan Qi: “???”
The little girl's face showed some confusion.
"Why are you afraid you'll tell others?" She scratched her head in confusion, "Is my master a wanted criminal?"
Cheng Jinyan: "..."
"Then he owes someone money and hasn't paid it back?" the little girl asked again.
Cheng Jinyan: "..."
"Could it be that he stole someone's wife and cheated on her?!" the little girl was shocked.
The person sitting next to him, Mr. Nie, couldn't stand it anymore and coughed heavily with a dark face.
Ruan Qi immediately shrank his neck in fear.
"Don't blame me, Master." She whimpered and argued, "It was Mr. Cheng who said that your identity is not suitable for public appearance."
Cheng Jinyan: "..."
Young Master Cheng finally discovered that the little girl's thought process might be different from that of ordinary people.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this logic.
Nie Beilou is not a wanted criminal, nor does he owe money or steal anyone's wife.
As the unparalleled national hero Beilou, why is he afraid of having such a proud identity spread out?
The more Cheng Jinyan thought about it, the more it made sense.
He had no idea that his mental circuits, which had been winding for more than twenty years, had been completely straightened out by Ruan Qi.
Ruan Yuzhouzhi Xiaoqi was unaware of Cheng Jinyan's complex inner drama. She finished her yogurt cake and then began to look at Xi Jiu eagerly.
"Jiujiu, you're still hungry..."
The little girl looked at the century egg and lean meat porridge pitifully, her pale face full of anticipation.
Xi Jiu was already distressed about her injury, and now that she was looking at him like this, he completely lost all his principles and bottom line.
Without saying a word, he picked up the bowl of porridge and patiently fed it to the child mouthful by mouthful, just like feeding a baby.
After feeding her a few mouthfuls, he would considerately wipe the corners of the little girl's mouth. And while wiping, he would coax her, his tone so gentle that it was almost enough to squeeze water out of her.
This look hurts the eyes.
Not to mention Cheng Jinyan, even Ruan Qi's own master couldn't stand it.
"That's enough, Xi family kid." Nie Beilou was inconsolable. "She has a shoulder injury, not a disability. Don't spoil her!"
Xi Jiu replied respectfully, "Okay," then wiped the rice grains from the corner of the little girl's mouth with his fingers and put them into his own mouth.
Nie Beilou: “…”
Can the young people nowadays be more reserved!
