The two of them went up to the 25th floor and arrived at Akasilia's private office. Akasilia gestured for Ai Yu to sit down, placed her cigarette on the ashtray, tested the weight of the teapot, stood up to get a pot of hot water, and poured a cup for Ai Yu: "Please."
Ai Yu lowered her eyes: "I don't understand."
Akashilia smiled faintly. At such a close distance, Ai Yu could see the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but they were not obvious because she had taken good care of them.
"What don't you understand, kid?"
Ai Yu spoke truthfully: "What kind of existence are angels?"
Akashilia laughed again. "I told you, were you going to turn around and tell Li Yuzhen? Oh, I didn't pronounce his name wrong, child. Xia culture is broad and profound, and a single word can have many pronunciations. I've been studying it for a long time."
"No." Ai Yu shook her head. "Then if I tell Li Yuzhen everything I know about angels, will you continue to talk to me?" Ai Yu didn't intend to go through all those twists and turns with Akashilia. She felt it was unnecessary.
"You're an honest child, I like you very much." Akasiliya sighed, "It's a pity that we are not on the same path."
"They all call you Sister, so I'll call you Sister too. Sister, why do you insist on letting me join Angel? They all know that I have no loyalty to you. Excuse me for being frank, but in my opinion, all you are doing is in vain." Ai Yu usually speaks little, but that doesn't mean she can't speak or see the situation clearly, and can even hit the nail on the head.
Akasiliya pulled out a lighter from her chest and didn't answer immediately: "Do you mind if I smoke?"
"Please."
Akasilia sat sideways, took a few puffs of her cigarette, and then spoke: "That is, Lystra's prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Ai Yu wrapped the teacup with both hands and looked serious.
"Yes, Lystra's prophecy tells me that another 'asymptomatic infected person' will appear in Xia Kingdom, and that's you. The previous one was Li Yuzhen. Li Yuzhen has now been tortured beyond recognition by Qimen. I pulled you into the Angels, not to make you serve them, but to leave you a way out. You may think I'm talking nonsense, but child, you have to believe me."
Akashilia looked regretful. "I couldn't save Li Yuzhen, but I must at least save you. Qimen is not the place for you."
Ai Yu tilted her head: "I don't understand what you mean, sister."
Akashilia smiled bitterly: "Whether you understand or not, I just..." Recalling the past, Akashilia coughed lightly to cover up her strangeness, "Anyway, I will not watch you and Li Yuzhen get into trouble."
This time, Jian Kaiheng thoroughly investigated Li Yuzhen's life experience, but he did not find any connection between Ai Yu and Li Yuzhen. However, he did find out some other things.
"Ai Yu?"
"Hmm?" Ai Yu looked at Akasiliya in confusion. "What's wrong, sister?"
"Li Yuzhen, how is he?"
Ai Yu smiled, her voice sweet, "Teacher Li is a very good person."
"Um."
Ai Yu always felt that Akashilia's words were meaningful, but unfortunately, some of her emotions were still unclear, so she couldn't understand Akashilia's unfinished meaning.
She just felt that Akashilia looked a little different from usual.
It is like an iris, its beauty partially obscured by leaves, its head drooping.
After a moment of silence, Akasiliya put out her half-smoked cigarette, stood up, took out her lipstick and touched up her makeup in front of the glass window. She turned to Ai Yu and smiled: "Ai Yu, I hope you can believe me, I have no ill intentions."
Akasiliya stood up, and it was not convenient for her to sit still. Ai Yu smiled and said, "Yeah."
"Child, you look very pretty when you smile. You look much more lively than usual. You should smile more often in the future."
"You look beautiful when you smile, too, sister."
Akasilia was unusually embarrassed. She tossed her curly hair and nodded slightly. "Good boy, I hope you won't get lost in the future."
She reached out and stroked Ai Yu's cheek through her gloves. "People have quite a misunderstanding about angels. We are just a bunch of willful lunatics who only want to live for ourselves."
Ai Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "I understand. Thank you for clearing up my confusion today."
"There's nothing the company needs you to do right now. You can go back."
"Okay, see you later."
When he left the company and stood on the street watching the crowds of people, Ai Yu was slightly distracted.
On one hand, you live for yourself, and on the other hand, you live for the people...
If she didn't know that Li Yuzhen was NI001, she might have hesitated.
Ai Yu laughed, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards home.
You must have both self-esteem and a sense of justice.
——
Towards evening, Akasiliya arrived at the door of Li Yuzhen's apartment and ran into Ni Jin who was returning home.
Ni Jin held her hands to her chest and raised her eyebrows at the tall foreign woman. "Why are you here?"
Akasilia adjusted her hat and bowed slightly, "Meetings, Miss Ni."
Ni Jin scoffed and turned back to her room, "You'd better not have any ulterior motives when you come to see Li Yuzhen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed shut.
Akashilia frowned slightly, but still pressed the doorbell. After waiting outside for about half a minute, Li Yuzhen opened the door.
Their eyes met. Li Yuzhen was a little surprised. "Miss, you're looking for me?" He was wearing a loose black shirt that exposed part of his chest. His hair was a little messy, and he wasn't wearing glasses. He looked very confused. "Excuse me, who are you?"
Akasiliya took off her hat, pursed her lips and smiled, "Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit down?"
Li Yuzhen thought for a moment and made way for him: "Please come in."
Akashilia nodded and walked into the house holding up her skirt.
"Please take a seat." Li Yuzhen closed the door and went to get a glass of warm water for Akasiliya. "What's your name, young lady?"
"Acclia." Akaxilia thanked Li Yuzhen for the water. "I hope Mr. Li doesn't mind my sudden visit. I'm really busy here, otherwise I wouldn't come to you in such a hurry. This time, I came mainly to express my gratitude."
Li Yuzhen was a little confused: "Thank me? Where does Miss Acclia come from?"
"I wonder if Mr. Li still remembers what happened in April four years ago?"
Li Yuzhen frowned and tried to recall, but found that his temples were throbbing with pain. He frowned even tighter: "April four years ago?" He tried hard to recall, but found that he could not remember anything, and even his vision was a little blurry.
Four years ago...
"Mr. Li? Mr. Li? What's wrong with you, Mr. Li? Mr. Li?"
