Xiao Yihan sat on the sofa, holding Xiao Kexin's windmill in his hand, turning it unconsciously. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was weighing something.
Suddenly, he stood up quickly, put on his military uniform swiftly, turned to Chu Jingqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, you pack your things first. I'll take the child and go find Qi Yue."
Chu Jingqiu looked at Xiao Yihan and said with a smile, "It's so hot, and you still carry her there. You're tired and hot.
Or you can put the child down and go by yourself!"
Xiao Yihan looked down at Xiao Kexin in his arms. The little guy was tilting his head, his eyes wide open, staring at him eagerly.
The two little hands were still tightly holding the corners of his clothes, afraid that he would abandon them and go away alone.
Looking at Xiao Kexin's cute and expectant look, Xiao Yihan's heart softened. He chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's not hot. The child wants to go too, so it's a good opportunity to take her out for some fresh air and a walk."
Xiao Yihan carried Xiao Kexin and went straight to Qi Yue's dormitory. Qi Yue was wearing a large vest and shorts, humming a little tune and mowing the floor diligently.
"Uncle Yue...!" a sweet child's voice rang out.
Qi Yue looked up and saw Xiao Yihan holding Xiao Kexin standing at the door. Xiao Kexin's big eyes like black grapes were staring at him without blinking.
He was so happy that he just threw the mop aside and walked over with a smile on his face.
He couldn't wait to take little Kexin from Xiao Yihan's arms, "Kexin, my dear, why is it you here? Did you miss your uncle? Come and give your uncle a kiss!"
Xiao Kexin smiled and kissed Qi Yue. Qi Yue happily leaned over with his other cheek and said, "This side hasn't had any kisses yet, Kexin. Give me another kiss here."
Xiao Kexin obediently kissed her on the other side, and Qi Yue excitedly hugged Xiao Kexin and spun around several times.
Qi Yue took out a bunch of snacks including biscuits and candies from the cupboard and handed them to Xiao Kexin.
Xiao Yihan picked up the fan beside him and fanned Xiao Kexin. "Qi Yue, you don't have anything to do tomorrow, the weekend. How about we go to the suburbs with your sister-in-law to watch a play?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue looked at Xiao Yihan in surprise and asked in confusion: "Brother, you never liked to watch the fun before.
How come you've changed your hobbies for your wife? You've spoiled your wife to this extent! Women are truly terrifying."
Xiao Yihan snorted coldly, "Just forget it! This time it's all for you. It's all your fault. I'm just cleaning up your mess!"
Qi Yue looked at Xiao Yihan in confusion, "Brother, what are you talking about? What does your watching a play have to do with me? When did I ever get into a love debt? Explain yourself clearly, you're leaving me in the dark."
Xiao Yihan told Qi Yue about how Yue Wenli instigated Ping Kaixuan to assassinate Shu Yahan and Dong Xuezhi.
After listening to Xiao Yihan's story, Qi Yue's face instantly turned pale. He said angrily: "This Yue Wenli is too shameless.
She actually came up with such a vicious idea! She's really pushing me into a dead end! I really want to beat her to death with the sole of my shoe!
Xiao Yihan patted his shoulder lightly, "Qi Yue, this matter has nothing to do with Shu Yahan. It's you who has implicated her.
We can't just stand by and watch Yue Wenli's conspiracy succeed, so you also have the responsibility and obligation to help Shu Yahan."
Qi Yue nodded and said, "Brother, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I will definitely not stand idly by. What are you and sister-in-law going to do?
My sister-in-law and the others are going to celebrate the birthday, so what about us? Shall we go to the Heike family as well? "
Xiao Yihan shook his head, "We won't go. Someone has to protect them in the dark. The two of us are mainly responsible for protecting their safety.
If Ping Kaixuan were to act alone, your sister-in-law could handle it alone.
I'm afraid Ping Kaixuan's family will be involved in this corruption, and your sister-in-law won't be able to handle it. We'll just have to act accordingly!"
"Okay, that's settled." Qi Yue said, and began to pack his things. "I'll pack two sets of clothes and go home with you guys tonight. We'll leave directly from the compound tomorrow."
The next morning, while the quintuplets were still asleep, Chu Jingqiu and the other two drove to pick up Shu Yahan.
When they arrived at the gate of Tsinghua University, Shu Yahan was standing there waiting for them, holding some pastries. She was wearing a lavender dress with a white collar, and looked graceful and beautiful.
Qi Yue jumped out of the car and opened the door for her like a gentleman. Although their blind date was unsuccessful, this incident brought them together again.
So, both of them felt a little embarrassed, especially Qi Yue, who felt very guilty and thought that he had implicated Shu Yahan.
Shu Yahan looked at Qi Yue awkwardly and said softly, "Thank you, Qi Yue!"
Qi Yue avoided Shu Yahan's gaze and said self-reproachfully, "Don't...don't be polite. It's all my fault that I've caused you so much trouble!"
Shu Yahan waved her hands hurriedly, "Qi Yue, don't say that. No one wants this to happen. If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being able to judge people well, and blame those bad guys for being too vicious."
Shu Yahan got into the car while talking, and Chu Jingqiu smiled and introduced Xiao Yihan to Shu Yahan.
Her eyes swept back and forth between Chu Jingqiu and Xiao Yihan several times, and finally stopped at Xiao Yihan. She looked at him carefully.
Her eyes were filled with admiration. "Jingqiu, your lover is truly handsome and talented. You two are truly a perfect match made in heaven!"
When Chu Jingqiu heard Shu Yahan's praise, the smile on her face deepened. She held Shu Yahan's hand tightly.
She said happily: "Haha... Yahan, you are really good at praising people. You praise me so much that I feel a little embarrassed."
When the car just started, there was still laughter in the car. Shu Yahan and Chu Jingqiu were still chatting and laughing as usual, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
However, as the car slowly drove out of the city, the smile on Shu Yahan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a tense expression.
She pursed her lips, said nothing, and looked like she was worried about something.
The closer she got to her destination, the more obvious her nervousness became; you could even clearly see her legs trembling slightly.
Chu Jingqiu noticed her uneasiness, gently held her hand, and said softly, "Yahan, don't be nervous. I will always be by your side. Their conspiracy will definitely not succeed, so don't worry!"
Finally, the car slowly stopped in front of a small village with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Xiao Yihan whispered, "We're here. This should be the village."
Shu Yahan nodded, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Yes, it's here, Taiping Village!"
Chu Jingqiu and Shu Yahan got out of the car and walked along the main road. Soon, they arrived at the east end of the village. The first house they saw was Ping Kaixuan's.
It was a new house with five red bricks, much more impressive than the houses next to it. It seemed that the Heike family was one of the most well-off in the village.
Ping Kaixuan and a young man were standing at the intersection, looking over here anxiously. When he saw the two figures appear in his sight, a smile instantly appeared on Ping Kaixuan's face.
