Since Jiu Ye could place her in the Yan family, it means there must be a connection between the two.
She really wanted to know how Jiu Ye was doing now. She had clearly seen him get shot, but was it serious? Was he treated in time?
Since she woke up, all she could think about was this, and even her words to Uncle Yan were perfunctory.
She felt that it might take a long time before she could see Master Jiu, and she was a little panicked.
Under the slightly warm light, Yan Shixing raised his brows slightly and looked at Shi Qi standing there with a depressed look on his face, like a helpless child who was afraid of losing his beloved things.
He sighed slightly, his voice as gentle and soothing as possible, "I can't contact him right now because he needs to take care of something important. Can you be patient and wait?"
"Is it dangerous?" Shi Qi clenched her hands, stared at him and asked.
"You have to believe him!" Yan Shixing's eyes were firm when he spoke, and the slight smile at the corner of his eyes made Shi Qi relax.
She nodded, determined to not be a burden to Jiu Ye and to help him to the best of her ability.
I really hope that one day I can help Master Jiu.
"Uncle, I want to see..." Shi Qi turned around and looked at the bookshelves in the room. His hand accidentally knocked over a sandalwood box on the desk.
Boom...
The sandalwood box was not locked, and the contents inside were exposed, including a colorful gem bracelet that fell out.
When Shi Qi saw the dazzling gem and the star totem on it, her pupils shrank.
Yan Shixing immediately stood up from the chair and picked up the jewel bracelet on the ground. He wiped it gently with his white thumb like a treasured item before putting it into the sandalwood box.
"Uncle." Shi Qi's delicate eyebrows knitted together as she stared at his box. "I also have a bracelet like this."
She remembered that when she and Jiu Ye were in Europe, the item was not for sale in a store, and finally the store owner gave it to her.
"I know." Yan Shixing placed the sandalwood box on the desk with a gentle smile.
Only Yan Shixing was allowed to enter the study, so he did not lock the sandalwood box.
Shi Qi opened her eyes wide and looked at him in surprise, "You are the owner of that store!"
Yan Shixing smiled and nodded.
That’s right, he was also in Europe at the time. If it hadn’t been for his nod, the bracelet would probably have remained in the shop window.
Unfortunately, this time, because I was in danger with Jiu Ye, I didn’t know where the jewel bracelet was dropped.
She liked it very much and wore it often. It’s a pity that it’s gone.
"Uncle, the stars up there are so beautiful!" Shi Qi thought of his mother again.
Ever since she could remember, the "stars" in her mother's hands were always changing, and the most beautiful ones were these stars that were intricately crafted yet delicate and beautiful.
She always thought that the "star" was a design created by her mother, but she was surprised to see the same "star" here.
"Uncle, who gave that to you? You seem to like it very much."
Yan Shixing glanced at the sandalwood box, her eyes dimmed, and her fingertips gently stroked the box, as if she was reminiscing and sighing, "I like it very much, but I only remember the appearance of the stars, and the owner of the stars is quite vague."
Every time he thought of the owner of the stars, he got a headache, just like now.
With his bony hands knitting his brows together, he turned around, took out a small bottle from the cabinet on the desk, poured out a pill, and swallowed it with water.
Shi Qi looked at him and asked, "Uncle, are you sick?"
Yan Shixing smiled and touched the top of her head. "It's okay, it's just a minor problem. It only occurs occasionally."
Shi Qi nodded softly and smiled sweetly, "Uncle, go and have a rest. I want to read for a while."
"good."
