The dinner was lively, with two large tables filled to the brim.
Xia Youyou was very happy and secretly poured a little of Cao An's wine into her own glass. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, a big hand came over.
She looked in the direction where the hand was reaching out and looked at him in confusion.
"Don't drink." Qi Siling pursed his lips and looked at her with a smile.
Xia Youyou frowned, "Just a little bit."
Qi Siling felt a pang of grievance at her expression, but he still shook his head firmly. "This is my grandfather's treasured liquor. Even a little bit can make you drunk, not to mention you haven't tried it yet."
Xia Youyou wanted to say something, but unexpectedly the cup in her hand was snatched away by another big hand and she was hit on the head.
He rubbed his messed hair and looked at the culprit with grievance.
Cao An glared at her fiercely and poured the wine in her glass back into his own.
Qi Siling sighed and leaned over to rub the painful area where she was hit.
Xia Youyou angrily pushed him away and decided to ignore the two of them.
"Don't be angry, that's strong liquor, you really can't drink it." Qi Siling was humble and patiently coaxed her. He picked up a goose egg with chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "I'll take you to the movies tonight, do you want to go?" They had been busy renovating the house since they came to Beijing and had no time to go out and play.
"No!" What's so good about movies? It's pitch black and cold outside. If she felt better, she would rather climb the Great Wall.
"How about you go with me to take a look?" He watched her eat the goose eggs in the bowl, and then picked up some of her favorite food with chopsticks and put it in.
Seeing him like this, Xia Youyou couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement. "Okay."
After the crowd dispersed, only four people were left in the yard. Xia Youyou said hello to her mother and walked out with Qi Siling, ignoring the drunk Cao An.
Seeing that she ignored him, Cao An reached out to pull her, but she walked too fast. The drunk Cao An reacted slowly and directly pulled her hair.
Xia Youyou's head was pulled back, and she cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. Cao An awoke with a start, regained consciousness, and quickly let go. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Liu Hui slapped him hard, "Why are you acting like a child? You're so careless."
Qi Siling had wanted to greet Cao An, but everything happened so quickly that before he could react, the little girl's eyes were filled with tears from the pain. He was heartbroken and quickly stepped forward to support her, rubbing her scalp.
Xia Youyou looked back at Cao An, whose face was flushed, and sighed helplessly. Why was he so stupid when he was drunk?
Cao An, beaten, stood obediently, no longer looking fierce as usual, but rather childish. Seeing her approach, he gave her a flattering smile, then lowered his head in grievance.
This is really drunk!
He didn't care that Qi Siling was still watching behind him, and took out a communicator to record the video for Cao An.
"Brother, say sorry!"
Cao An obediently did what he said, and followed whatever she said and did what she said, letting Xia Youyou record her ugly behavior.
Qi Siling was a bit confused; he seemed drunk too. But he hadn't drunk tonight! What was that in her hand? How could a piece of clear glass reflect a person so clearly? She hadn't taken anything from her bag, so how did this thing get into her hands?
Liu Hui watched the siblings playfully, while Qi Siling stood there in a daze. She sighed inwardly. This girl didn't want to hide it anymore. She had considered whether to tell Qi Siling about this when they were working together, but Cao An hadn't let her. After all, no one knew what kind of person she was, so she couldn't easily reveal such things. She must have sensed Qi Siling's concern for Youyou recently.
She walked over to him and patted his arm. When she saw him looking down at her, she pulled him to the main room to sit down.
After Xia Youyou teased Cao An, she stopped playing and stood there with her head down in thought.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Cao An rubbed her head and said, "Just say what you want to say. It's like testing me. Don't worry." Qi Siling might have noticed it a long time ago, but since they didn't say it, he didn't ask. Now that this girl has exposed it directly, I think she has figured it out.
She pouted. It turned out he wasn't drunk. "You're just pretending."
How can you escape from her clutches if you don't pretend!
"Go quickly, don't scare people."
Xia Youyou lingered and returned to the main hall. Liu Hui stood up and walked over to rub her dejected head. "Talk nicely."
Qi Siling had been suspicious since they'd first met, but Cao An had told him not to dwell on it, so he'd never considered her unusual qualities. For example, how could she carry all her food, even though she was so small? Where did her food come from? He'd previously suspected Cao An was involved, but that clearly wasn't the case. Cao An was a public security officer; he wouldn't have done something like that, knowingly breaking the law. So, the problem lay with Xia Youyou.
He hadn't taken his eyes off the little girl since she came in. He watched her approach and sit down on the seat next to him.
Xia Youyou suddenly felt a little nervous. "Um, do you have any questions?"
He shook his head. He could guess that she had a secret, but he had no desire to delve into it. "If you want to talk about it, just tell me. If you don't want to, I'll pretend I don't know."
"I don't know where to start telling you, why don't you just ask me?" She didn't want to hide it anymore. What happened with the Qiangong bed today made her a little panicked.
"You have a secret, right?" I couldn't bear to see her struggling, so I asked her question.
"Yes! It's a future technology that can hold a lot of things and you can take them out whenever you need them."
"The future?" Qi Siling was even more confused. He thought she was a fairy who had descended from heaven!
"Yes, I am from the future, and by chance I was resurrected in this body." Xia Youyou stared into his eyes, trying to see a hint of fear in his eyes, or something else... but no, nothing.
"So all your food is from the future? What will the future be like? Will it be richer than the present? Will people be able to have enough to eat? Will they no longer be bullied by other countries?"
Xia Youyou was silent. She wanted to tell him that the future was full of beautiful things, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. It had once been the safest country in the world, where no one would starve or freeze. But that devastated world...
"Food is the future. Our country was once rich, and no one dared to bully us. However, people's greed has led to the destruction of the planet."
Qi Siling was startled, "Destruction? What does that mean?" His voice was trembling.
"Decades later, the Japanese nation was contaminated by an earthquake and a nuclear power plant explosion. Unable to deal with the problem, they simply discharged the wastewater into the sea. This continued for decades, causing global radiation. We could only hide underground inland, creating countless things that could protect us from radiation. The red mole on my forehead is one of them, brought here from the afterlife."
He leaned over to her and touched the red mole with his big hand. So when he first saw her, he felt that the red mole was special. It turned out that it was brought by her.
The two of them were very close, and Xia Youyou's heart started beating wildly for no reason.
