Chapter 156 Chapter 156 She bullied Ningning until she cried...
Bai Qingqing: “…”
The arm that was stretched out from behind was quickly put down. Ji Kui straightened up and distanced himself from her. He watched Bai Qingqing turn around with the crutches, lift one foot, and move herself to sit on the edge of the bed.
Putting the cane aside, Bai Qingqing looked up at the man leaning against the dressing table.
His face and limbs were relaxed and comfortable, as if this was not a small single room in a homestay, but Ji Kui's private garden.
Bai Qingqing raised her fingertips that were supporting herself on the bed and tapped twice.
"What does Bai Lincheng want to talk to you about?" she asked in a low voice.
"You should ask Bai Mincheng this question instead of asking me."
"What? Are you still keeping it a secret for him?" With Ji Kui and Bai Lincheng being important characters in this small world, she couldn't figure it out.
But, what kind of urgent matter could make these two people stay up all night talking about it, not even waiting for the dawn? And after the conversation was suddenly interrupted by her accident, Ji Kui did not leave, and still took the trouble to run from Beijing to Nanqing...
Ji Kui shook his head: "It's not a secret, but something happened to you before Bai Lincheng had the chance to tell you, so you really have to ask him."
"Then why did you come to Nanqing? To see me?" Bai Qingqing asked a different question.
"...Yes, I'm looking for you."
Ji Kui pondered for a moment, took out a small wooden box from his arms, stood up, and handed the rosewood box to Bai Qingqing.
The slim box lid opens, revealing the white warm jade inside.
The moment Ji Kui withdrew his hand, majestic spiritual energy emanated from the white warm jade. In Bai Qingqing's eyes, it seemed to transform into tangible golden light and float into the air.
In just a few breaths, the small room was filled with spiritual energy.
It fell lightly on her, embracing her body as well. Her dry meridians instantly felt much more comfortable, emitting a greater desire for spiritual energy.
Bai Qingqing's expression changed. She stared at Nuanyu and resisted the urge to reach out.
"You came here... not to give this to me, right?" Bai Qingqing asked, but she knew very well that Ji Kui came to the small fishing village in the middle of the night and handed her a piece of warm jade with rich spiritual power at such a timely moment. His purpose could only be her.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Bai Lincheng knows you're in trouble and asked me to help you." Ji Kui answered. During the brief pause, he saw Bai Qingqing frowning and added, "But what he can give is limited. I want to make a deal with you directly."
Bai Qingqing's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she raised her chin slightly, looking at Ji Kui: "Tell me about it."
"Didn't you say that I have a life-or-death catastrophe in my life?" Ji Kui's lips curled up slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "One day when my life is in danger, I want you to do your best to save my life."
"As long as you agree, I have a lot of these things, you can use them as you like. If you need them, the three veins of Jingshi Xuanmen are at your disposal. Do you agree to this exchange?"
It turned out to be for his own life...
Bai Qingqing asked cautiously, "What if I agree but can't keep it?"
"Then it can only be my fate. Kui has lived half of his life and is very good at accepting his fate."
A light laugh rang out in the room. Bai Qingqing looked at Ji Kui, who was only five steps away from her. He stood there with his arms and legs stretched out, as if to bring the two of them closer together.
So close that one can see the underlying color of his life at a glance.
In a way, they have the same fate.
In this small world, existing for another person is the whole meaning of their lives.
Bai Qingqing took the warm jade from the box and held it in her hand: "Okay, I'll do my best."
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving now."
Ji Kui didn't even spend half a word, and disappeared from her sight as soon as he finished speaking.
The room became empty again, making people feel that breathing was much easier. Bai Qingqing let out a shallow breath without realizing it, a smile appeared on her face, and she fell to the bed with a sob, holding the white jade in her hands.
Ji Kui's warm jade really came as timely rain.
With this piece of jade, her external injuries will be mostly healed by tonight, and the damage to her sea of consciousness will be fully restored within three days.
As for Ji Kui's life...
If the Heavenly Dao can die, Ji Kui can live.

Ten o'clock in the morning.
Bai Qingqing opened her eyes.
There were mixed voices outside the window, and the gauze curtains swallowed a layer of light, casting a faint bright color into the house.
The homestay is close to the seaside, and the warm smell of the sea wafts through the window, reminding her where she is.
Bai Qingqing took the warm jade and placed it close to her body. She got out of bed to wash up, opened the live broadcast room, and looked at the situation outside.
The other five people probably went to bed very late at night. Except for Zan Fang who was meditating on the bed, the other four were still sleeping.
Everyone in the live broadcast room is betting on who will wake up first, and at the same time, they are praising their children's stunning beauty.
In the live broadcast room, Wu Weiran placed five fishing nets on the ground in front of the homestay.
What comes next is self-evident.
Bai Qingqing smelled the warm smell of the sea and lost interest in watching any further. She turned away and scooped up water with both hands to splash on her face, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that she "died" early last night.
She just wanted to eat it and didn't want to go into the sea to fish in the hot sun.
Outside the door, the voices of Bai Lincheng and Ji Kui talking could be heard faintly.
Bai Qingqing subconsciously tilted her ears and held her breath to listen, but before she could hear anything, she noticed that there was no sound outside.
It was as if the whispered conversation between the two just now was her illusion.
But the next moment, Ji Kui's voice sounded again. The two people seemed to be a little closer to her, and the voice was clearer: "It's almost time..."
Bai Lingcheng: "Well, I'll go take a look."
Before Bai Qingqing could figure out what was going on, a few seconds later, someone knocked on her door. Bai Lincheng's voice came from outside the door, asking her in a low voice, "Qingqing, are you awake?"
Bai Qingqing: “…”
It turns out she was almost there.
"Awake." She opened the door and faced Bai Lincheng and Ji Kui. She looked at their faces and wondered whether they had finished discussing what they had talked about last night in the middle of the night.
Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting had been waiting for her in the living room, wanting to see how she was doing, but were worried about disturbing her rest. At this moment, they saw their son and Ji Kui suddenly knocking on their daughter's door, and they immediately stood up to greet them.
"Qingqing, how did you sleep?"
"Do you want to change the medicine first?" Bai Shuting asked immediately, looking at the white patch on his daughter's neck, preparing to call the team doctor over.
"I slept well, and my injuries are much better now. I can take care of it myself." Bai Qingqing touched the patch on the side of her neck and moved her nose: "I smell the fragrance. Do you have food?"
Several people laughed for a moment.
Ao Xinyi immediately took her hand and led her to the table: "Of course, you usually eat breakfast at this time at home. Your father and I made some breakfast. It's just right to eat now. After we finish eating, we will go home, okay?"
"Okay." Bai Qingqing was pulled to sit at the table. She raised her eyelids and saw Ji Kui also followed them to sit down. He happened to be sitting opposite her. She couldn't help but look at him twice more.
Bai Lincheng saw her look and said, "Ji Kui will go back with us later."
Bai Qingqing: “…Yeah.”
Her eyes drifted from Ji Kui to Bai Lincheng again.
[In just one night, he changed from Mr. Kui to Ji Kui? ]
Bai Yancheng and Ji Kui looked at each other.
[Progress is really fast...]
Bai Lingcheng: "Bai Qingqing, the porridge is getting cold."
"Oh." Bai Qingqing retracted her gaze, lowered her head obediently, drank a mouthful of century egg and lean meat porridge, and concentrated on eating her breakfast.
It was already eleven o'clock when they finished brunch. Bai Qingqing ate a lot and took a long time, so Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting helped her pack the luggage she brought with her to the recording of the show, leaving her alone at the table to eat slowly.
No one knew what Ji Kui was thinking. He had finished his meal long ago but was still sitting at the table. He poured himself a cup of sea asparagus tea and drank it slowly.
Bai Qingqing looked at him several times, almost asking him directly why he was still sitting there.
Ji Kui sat at one end of the long table, leaning back in a relaxed posture, with a large expanse of light golden sand and the azure sea behind him.
Gusts of sea breeze blew through the hall, ruffling the hair beneath his ears.
"I don't have anything to pack, so I'll just sit here and enjoy the natural breeze." Ji Kui saw what she was thinking and said lightly as he put down the teacup.
Bai Qingqing wrinkled her eyelids slightly, not quite believing it.
He finished the soft-skinned egg pancake in his hand in one gulp, then stood up and prepared to leave.
If Ji Kui wants to enjoy the fresh air here, then just let her do it slowly. If it weren't for this bite of food, she would have died of the heat sitting here.
Bai Qingqing's mouth was full of food. She went to the sink to wash her hands without saying a word. When she passed by Ji Kui, she suddenly heard him say, "This is the third meal."
Bai Qingqing paused:?
She turned around and looked at Ji Kui with a puzzled expression, but saw that he just smiled and said nothing, as if the words were not meant for her. He drank the last sip of sea asparagus tea and stood up.
Ao Bai and the other came out of her room, followed closely by Bai Lincheng, pushing her luggage in his hands.
Bai Qingqing swallowed the food in her mouth and stretched her head to look outside. Wu Weiran was just dividing the five people into groups to play a game. She pulled a staff member over and asked him to say hello to Wu Weiran later, as they had to leave first.
The car they had driven the night before drove back to the entrance of the B&B.
Bai Lincheng moved the luggage into the car, then sat in the driver's seat and waited for everyone to get in.
Jiang Muning was in the distance, and seemed to have sensed something, so he glanced in their direction from a distance.
From a distance of several dozen meters, the person's face and expression could not be seen clearly. I only saw Bai Shuting opening the car door, putting his hands on the door frame, and seemed to say something to the person next to him.
It was too far away. She couldn't hear any sound. All she could hear was the dark sound. The sea water hit her ankles, making a clear sound.
"The first round is a single-player match, and the second round is a team match. Who will be the fish king today?"
Wu Weiran's voice buzzed in his ears, but Jiang Muning didn't hear a word he said.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, subconsciously trying to see the distance more clearly.
Ao Xinyi and Bai Qingqing bent down and got into the car, followed by a strange man, but before she could see his face clearly, the man followed Bai Qingqing into the car.
Bai Shuting closed the door from outside and returned to sit in the passenger seat.
The vehicle moved slowly, went farther along the coast, and completely turned into a black dot in his sight.
…
It was five o'clock in the afternoon when the group returned to East City.
The car was stuck in traffic for a while during the evening rush hour, and they arrived home just in time for dinner. On the way, Ao Xinyi discussed with Bai Qingqing what to eat in the evening.
Because she had injuries and needed to avoid certain foods, Ao Xinyi rejected most of her applications and called home while stuck in traffic.
They haven't gotten home yet. At this time, Aunt Qiao should be in the kitchen cooking dinner.
For some reason, Ao Xinyi's call didn't go through.
She let out a surprised sound and thought about waiting two minutes before calling again.
Bai Qingqing looked out the window. In the traffic jam, they couldn't see any further than a red light. The sunset glow was beautiful, though.
Two birds flew over the clouds and landed on the treetops by the roadside.
Ao Xinyi's second call went through. In the enclosed space, Aunt Qiao's voice came from the other side. She apologized, "Sorry, I didn't hear it in the kitchen just now."
Aunt Qiao's tone was a little different from usual. Ao Xinyi paused for a moment, but soon he didn't take it to heart. He smiled and said, "That's what I guessed. I brought Qingqing back home. She wants to eat garlic crayfish tonight. You can make some for her. Just make her one portion."
"Isn't Qingqing injured?" Aunt Qiao said hesitantly, "Why don't you just bear with it for a while?"
Ao Xinyi was also helpless: "There is a traffic jam on this road, and it just blocked the entrance of the restaurant. The whole street is selling lobsters. She really wants to eat it. You can make less and give her a taste."
Outside the car window, two birds on the treetops landed on the ground again, took a few steps forward, and flew away in front of her.
The car moved.
Bai Qingqing sighed, turned around, and said to the phone that had not yet been hung up: "Do you have guests at home today?"
guest?
Ao Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the car.
The only one who could be called a guest was Ji Kui, but he had been separated from them when they left the airport, and now everyone in the car was their own people.
Who's coming home?
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Two seconds later, Aunt Qiao's voice of agreement came: "Okay, then do less. Madam, I'll be there now."
Before Ao Xinyi could react, the call was hung up.
Ao Xinyi looked at the phone that had turned off and asked Bai Qingqing in confusion, "Are there guests at home? I didn't hear Ms. Xu say anything."
Bai Mincheng also tilted his head slightly and glanced at her.
She couldn't figure out what was going on with the Bai family, and most of the time she could only rely on external help or they would ask her for help.
Now she felt a response from outside, but she didn't know who it was. She only knew that today's guest was probably not an ordinary person, otherwise she wouldn't feel so bad, and Aunt Qiao wouldn't be commanded by the other party and speak hesitantly.
This day is really busy...
*
At the Bai family's house, the old man sitting at the first seat in the living room snorted and put the teacup heavily on the table, with the corners of his lips turned down.
"Guest? She really knows how to say that. When did I become a guest?"
The old lady at the side was speechless. She called someone to wipe the tea that splashed when the old man hit the teacup, and said, "You didn't say hello to Yiyi and Shuting in advance. The children didn't know we were back, but they don't know who you are."
The old man glared and said, "My new granddaughter can do math, right? Let her do it."
"That's not a new granddaughter, that's my biological granddaughter!" The old lady's voice was no weaker than the old man's.
Bai Songxu half-lay on the sofa, sighing at the old couple who were about to quarrel: "You two have nothing to do, what is there to hide? It seems like you are not trying to give parents and Bai Qingqing a surprise... Why do you act like you are here to start a fight?"
As Bai Songxu finished his words, his voice got lower and lower.
The old man’s hearing wasn’t very good, so he really didn’t hear it, but from the expression on his face when his little grandson was mumbling, he knew that he definitely didn’t say anything nice.
Then he snorted again, "I just didn't let you greet her in advance. I just wanted to see what kind of person my granddaughter is! Ningning was bullied to the point that she cried and called me, and you all still say good things about her!"
