Chapter 150 Chapter 150 In order to save your sister, I am now...
“…I feel like a lot of things have happened recently.”
Jiang Muning came with a glass of wine in his hand. He glanced at the crystal wine glass in Bai Siqi's hand, walked closer with a smile, and clinked glasses with him, making a "ding" sound.
She took a sip of wine and said, "It's a good thing that I'm getting married to Sister Xiaoyou, but why is Third Brother drinking here alone?"
Her eyes were pure now, and she called him "Third Brother" all the time.
"Happy."
Bai Siqi looked at her eyes, answered after a moment of silence, then moved his gaze in the direction of Zhuang You and fell on her from a distance.
He shook the cup in his hand, and the ice cubes made a light sound when hitting the crystal wall. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Because I'm happy, I want to drink more. If I drink inside, she will smell the alcohol and she will say something."
Jiang Muning had seen how Bai Siqi loved him in his previous life, and knew how Bai Siqi loved someone.
It's totally different from now.
Whether it's Li Xin or Bai Siqi, their love is hot and crazy, with lust burning in their eyes, and even if it is suppressed to the extreme, it seems to tear people apart and swallow them up.
If you respond to him in the slightest, you will be dragged into his endless abyss.
How could he be so gentle, restrained, polite and courteous as he is now?
What was there for him to be happy about at this moment?
If you were really happy, why would you stand here drinking alone?
When the wind blew outdoors in the evening, Bai Siqi was indeed a little drunk today. With a faint smile on the corner of her lips, she looked at Zhuang You without wavering, watching her chatting and laughing with the band that came to perform at the Bai family's family dinner today.
Bai Siqi smiled suddenly.
Lift the glass to your lips, tilt your head back and take a sip, feeling the spicy wine slide down your throat.
In the distance, Zhuang You and the band members were talking about something. Five or six people actually set up their instruments and got ready to play at the side door of the Bai family's main building.
A girl from the band handed Zhuang You a violin. Several people slapped the beats with their bodies, raised their hands, placed longbows on the strings, and played music in turn.
The guests who had not yet left stopped and looked at them.
Bai Siqi's hand, which was holding the cup to his lips, paused slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened slightly, and Jiang Muning's attention was also attracted by the voice.
The banquet has clearly ended and today's performance has been completed.
The atmosphere at the side door became lively again in just three seconds. Rock-style electronic music suddenly rushed out of the lawn and spread to the swimming pool.
In the distance, a group of elegantly dressed musicians in long dresses were dancing to the rhythmic music. Zhuang You was standing among them. While dancing, she suddenly kicked off her high heels, stood barefoot on the grass, and performed an interlude at a very fast speed, attracting all the scattered attention of the guests around to their little world.
I don't know who among the guests started clapping and keeping time first, but soon guests from all directions came back to join in, and the applause and music rose into the night sky.
Bai Siqi took a sip of wine, with a smile in his eyes: "Look at the light on the porch, does it look like it was specially designed for her?"
Jiang Muning was stunned.
The conversation between Ao Xinyi and Bai Qingqing on the other side of the garden was also interrupted, and the two looked towards the source of the sound.
But the place they were in was too remote, and they could only hear the music but not see any people.
The mother and daughter, who were talking alone, prepared to leave tacitly.
Before leaving, Ao Xinyi held her hand and said sincerely, "Qingqing, think about what I told you. Tomorrow morning I will ask Lao Yan to give you a list of foreign schools and majors. It doesn't matter if you can't make a decision in the short term. We can first choose a country you like to study language. It will also be a good opportunity for you to adapt to life abroad in advance."
Bai Qingqing was held by her hand and did not answer for a moment. She raised her eyes and looked at Ao Xinyi, quietly observing her eyes.
She just said that there is no need to stay in the country, in a small place like Dongshi, as there are broader horizons abroad and better choices and development in life.
The speech was so moving and logical, and the sky was full of charm.
Bai Qingqing translated for her the main idea of her conversation tonight.
She was just trying to drive her away...
Any country other than China will do, and no matter what you do, it’s best to leave now.
He was in such a hurry, as if he was fleeing.
"Okay," Bai Qingqing smiled, "I'll take a look after Uncle Yan brings it over."
"Okay!" Ao Xinyi was very happy: "I'll send it to your room tomorrow morning, and you can start the relevant procedures. Qingqing, you are still young, go out more and see more, you won't regret it."
She has sorted out half of the schools and majors today, and she will be able to finish it tonight if she catches up.
By the way, if Qingqing is unsure, she should sort out some language schools, send people to look at housing in various places, and prepare tutors and nannies for her to study with her...
Ao Xinyi and Bai Qingqing walked back to the banquet hall.
Seeing from afar a group of people gathered in front of the door and clapping loudly at the start of a concert, Ao Xinyi let go of Bai Qingqing's hand and unnoticeably distanced himself from her.
"The kids are still full of energy. Qingqing, do you want to go and play for a while?" Ao Xinyi took out his cell phone to record a video.
"I don't have much musical talent, so I won't go." Bai Qingqing shook her head and noticed that Ao Xinyi's camera, which was filming Zhuang You and the others, turned towards her.
Ao Xinyi's eyes were slightly red in the dark night: "Then let's just stand here and listen for a while, okay?"
Bai Qingqing nodded in front of the camera.
The camera turned back to the bustling place in the distance.
Ao Xinyi held up his phone and recorded the whole time without saying a word, as if he was really immersed in this night's concert and quietly enjoying it.
The small concert in the distance ended with Zhuang You’s clean and neat ending.
There was a burst of intense applause.
Zhuang You and the musicians invited by the Bai family to perform took their bows together. While the applause was still going on, she looked around and her gaze quickly settled in the direction of the swimming pool. She raised her bow high and waved towards the distance.
Bai Siqi also raised his hand and waved at her.
Then Zhuang You returned the violin and bow to the girl who borrowed the violin, clasped his hands together to thank her, then turned around and ran towards the swimming pool.
Even though I couldn't see her face clearly from a distance of dozens of meters, I could still feel her vigorous vitality from her running.
"I'm leaving now."
Bai Siqi finished a glass of wine, the ice ball melted slightly at the bottom of the glass, and asked Jiang Mu Ning as if he remembered something: "By the way, Mu Ning, did you come to see me and say something?"
"I..." Jiang Muning responded.
There was a strange expression on Bai Siqi's face when he turned around. For the first time, she couldn't accurately interpret his feelings.
She had never seen him look like this before.
During the two brief conversations and pauses, Zhuang You had already run closer, gasping for breath with his mouth wide open. He seemed to be unable to run anymore, so he slowed down and called out Bai Siqi's name.
Bai Siqi looked at her and said, "Zhuang You, slow down."
Jiang Mu Ning still had half of the wine left in her champagne glass. She clinked the crystal glasses with Bai Siqi's, and when she saw him looking back, she smiled at him sincerely and said, "Third brother, I wish you happiness. I hope you will always be happy, healthy, and safe."
Bai Siqi was stunned.
Jiang Muning raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, with a generous and dignified smile on his face, and his cheeks were a little red due to the alcohol.
She shook the empty cup in her hand towards Bai Siqi: "Nothing else, I just came to talk to my third brother about this."
"My sister's blessing has been delivered. Third brother, I'm leaving now."
What Jiang Muning said was somewhat beyond Bai Siqi's expectations.
He was stunned for a moment, and was about to thank him when he saw Jiang Muning bend down and put the empty cup in his hand on the ground. When he stood up, his feet suddenly became unstable, his body shook violently, and he fell backwards into the swimming pool.
Bai Siqi's heart tightened and he quickly reached out to pull her hand, but failed to grab it.
There was a huge sound of someone falling into the water.
"Ningning!" Bai Siqi jumped into the swimming pool without hesitation and quickly approached the person who was struggling in the water.
People everywhere looked towards the swimming pool.
Zhuang You on the shore was also stunned. She didn't expect the incident to happen so suddenly. She hadn't even gotten close yet, and two people that big had already gone into the water?
In the water, Jiang Muning didn't know what had happened. He choked on the water several times and floated farther and farther away while struggling.
Bai Siqi reached for her and shouted, "Ningning, the water isn't deep. Don't panic. Stand up first."
"My ankle... I sprained it, cough cough." A weak response came from the center of the swimming pool.
Zhuang You remembered that Jiang Mu Ning was still wearing high heels when she fell into the water. Now seeing Bai Siqi still hesitating to let her stand up by herself, she took a deep breath and immediately jumped into the water. She kicked off the edge of the pool and rushed out several meters away.
The champagne-colored long dress was hidden under the clear water, like a lightly swimming fish, firmly stopping in the middle of the water.
People gathered around the swimming pool. Ao Xinyi and Bai Qingqing also hurried over from a distance. When they saw the two people in the middle of the swimming pool emerging one after another, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third brother... cough cough..."
Jiang Mu Ning leaned his head against the strong chest and coughed weakly several times. He clung to the shoulders of the person next to him with his arms, but felt something smooth and delicate.
Her groping hand paused.
"Sister Xiaoyou..."
Bai Siqi stood three steps away and saw Zhuang You help Jiang Muning up. He wiped the water off his face, stood in the water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Which foot is sprained?" Zhuang You patted Jiang Mu Ning's back with force, causing her to cough twice. He asked in a gentle voice with a caring look on his face.
"Right, right foot." Jiang Muning touched his ankle underwater.
"Let's go ashore and take a look." Zhuang You took her to the shore.
Some relatives on the shore had already followed Zhuang You's direction and ran to the side of the swimming pool. On one hand, they reached out to greet the person, and on the other hand, they immediately put a coat on Jiang Muning who had just come ashore.
Ao Xinyi hurriedly came to the front and asked someone to bring a dry towel. He looked terrified and squatted beside Jiang Mu Ning and asked, "Why did you fall down all of a sudden?"
"I just drank a little bit of wine, and I was standing by the swimming pool, and I couldn't stand firmly..."
Ao Xinyi sighed: "How is your foot? Is there any other injury?"
Jiang Mu Ning shook his head, his face turned pale, and he looked at the swimming pool with guilt: "It's Third Brother and Sister Xiaoyou..."
In the swimming pool.
Zhuang You didn't rush to the shore, but swam towards Bai Siqi again, with a half-smile on his face. He stood beside him and said slowly, "Third Brother~"
Bai Siqi: "...Zhuang You, Mu Ning is my sister..."
Zhuang You wrinkled his nose and shook his head to stop Bai Siqi from talking. He lowered his head and leaned on his chest. His two slender arms climbed up his arms, looking weak.
The delicate tone in her voice disappeared. She looked at Jiang Mu Ning who was looking at them from the shore and said with a normal smile, "So in order to save your sister to the shore, I don't have the strength to swim back now..."
"Third brother~"
