Chapter 378: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter 34
After listening to her description of this ideal world like the Peach Blossom Spring, Xu Danbin was slightly lost in thought. A hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes, but at the same time, a trace of fragile desire and yearning could not help but quietly overflow from the deepest part of his heart.
Will the beautiful world he envisions really come true one day?
Tears welled up in Xu Danbin's eyes. He grasped at the last straw, looking at Quan Jiu with hope. Even his tone was lowered, as if he was afraid that raising his voice would disturb this beautiful dream.
"Miss Liu, do you think this day will ever come?"
He met too many people who denied him, saying that he was crazy and stupid. For the sake of an ideal society that was vague and even impossible to achieve, he gave up his stable job and social status and spent all his wealth to help strangers.
The midday sun is scorching hot, with occasional breezes. The branches outside the window are growing wildly, and the dead and yellow leaves are drifting in the wind. The empty places will be replaced by new green leaves in the future.
This is a handover ceremony between the new and the old.
The sun poured down on the emerald green branches, and Quan Jiu was also covered in the scorching sun. Behind her was a vast blue sea of green leaves. The woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes had star-like eyes, and her tone was always firm:
"must."
…
Kong Manqing looked at the person in front of her with shock: "What did you just say?"
Quan Jiu peeled an apple, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Xu Danbin is in jail."
"Impossible!" Kong Manqing shook her head vigorously in denial. "The Third Master released him last time, so there's absolutely no reason for him to be arrested a second time."
Quan Jiu placed the apple on the tray at the bedside and said slowly:
"The one who arrested him was Commander Du. The night he rescued you, Xu Danbin beat up Commander Du's son. Young Master Du was seriously injured and had three broken ribs."
Kong Manqing clutched the quilt with both hands. She no longer had the confidence she had just now, nor the indifference and despair she had in the past few days. She held Quan Jiu's hand tightly:
"Miss Liu, can I ask you for a favor, please, Third Master..."
Quan Jiu's tone suddenly became a little fierce, and he knocked on the tray:
"Let me eat the apple first. A patient should behave like a patient."
It was the first time she took the initiative to peel an apple for someone, but her daughter only had the bastard in her mind.
Quan Jiu inexplicably felt a sense of sadness that "a grown-up daughter is no longer under the control of her mother", and she sent a message to 001.
"Only Xu Danbin can make her feel alive."
A few days ago, Kong Manqing seemed to have seen through the world and was so disillusioned with it that she could ascend to heaven with just a wave of her sleeves.
001 obviously considers more:
"Are you sure you want to care about them? This is very likely to affect future generations. I don't recommend you interfere."
Everything has its own destiny.
Power and wine have changed the constants, and are also very likely to be changed by the constants.
Quan Jiu: "My daughter has already acknowledged me, so what can I do about it?"
001 sighed: "Whatever you want."
Kong Manqing took two random bites of the apple, clearly not wanting to eat: "Miss Liu, you..."
Quan Jiu shook his head to stop her:
"Since you like him, there's no need to overthink it. Xu Danbin rejected you before because he was too self-conscious. You're a promising young actress, and he's a poor scholar with nothing to show for it. He can't promise you a future... Manqing, you're always thinking about each other, but you've never considered whether what you offer him is what he wants."
"Xu Danbin will be convicted in three days. I'll let Si Jinnian think of a solution. You should have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
Quan Jiu left after saying this, giving Kong Manqing enough time to think.
…
As soon as Quan Jiu entered the Commander's Mansion, Xue Cheng invited him to the second floor.
Si Jinnian raised his head from the table, his dark eyes deep:
"Are you willing to come back?"
Quan Jiu touched the tip of his nose guiltily: "I missed you so much that I came back."
Si Jinnian snorted coldly: "Slippery tongue."
If you really miss him, why don't you take him with you when you go out?
Quan Jiu went straight to the target and sat on Si Jinnian's lap. He looked at the map on the table that was densely drawn with various colored pens and raised his eyebrows.
"What's this?"
Xue Cheng, who brought the wine in, lowered his eyes silently, stared at his toes, and secretly sighed at the "stupidity" of his third master.
Normally, other people shouldn't be able to see this kind of battle map.
Si Jinnian was afraid that she would fall, so he put his arm around her waist and said, "A map of the three provinces in the south."
Quan Jiu looked at him in surprise, and had the same reaction as Xue Cheng:
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy sent by the enemy?"
Seeing that the two were flirting with each other, Xue Cheng decisively turned around and walked out, not forgetting to close the door.
Si Jinnian's fingertips began to move along her soft waist, his dark eyes darkened, and his serious and cold tone was rendered with a hint of ambiguous warmth under the dim light:
"What a coincidence! Everyone in the city knows that I'm the best at dealing with spies."
The man was wearing a military green uniform, and the medals on his shoulders were shining.
Quan Jiu swallowed, the air in the room seemed to have heated up rapidly, making her mouth dry.
Si Jinnian captured the woman's swallowing action perfectly. The man's big, bony hands pinched her soft waist, and he deliberately spoke to her in a distant and unfamiliar tone.
"Ms. Liu, are you getting nervous already?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
Si Jinnian lifted her chin with his fingertips, forcing her to look up at him. The belt around her waist reflected a cold light:
"Want to know how I interrogate a disobedient female spy?"
Quan Jiu narrowed his eyes, spread his legs and sat on him, facing him, with his slender white arms hanging around his neck:
"Does the Third Master usually interrogate female spies like this?"
Zero distance.
It's too close.
Si Jinnian looked at her and put his arm around her waist:
"Ms. Liu is the first person to receive such interrogation treatment."
"oh?"
Quan Jiu smiled enchantingly and tilted his head in feigned curiosity, "Why?"
Si Jinnian was so amused by the charming smile in her eyes that his breath was choked, and his voice became deeper and deeper:
"Maybe it's because... Miss Liu is the most disobedient."
These words were half true and half false. When Quan Jiu heard them, he knew that he was still upset about her leaving him.
Si Jinnian's deep eyebrows and eyes were hazy and seductive under the light. He picked up the dark red tie beside him and covered Quan Jiu's eyes.
"Miss Liu is too stubborn. We have to use some tricks to pry her open."
Under the tie, Quan Jiu's eyelashes trembled:
"What kind of interrogation method is this?"
Si Jinnian's expression was serious, as if he was really interrogating a criminal with serious crimes:
"Visual desensitization. It allows Miss Liu to become more sensitive to her other senses while losing her vision."
Quan Jiu could feel something cold and hard sliding into her palm.
"What's this?"
Si Jinnian's voice was incredibly pleasant: "Miss Liu, why don't you take a guess."
Quan Jiu stretched out her hand to hold it tightly, but Si Jinnian seemed to have anticipated it and pulled the thing out of her hand.
Quan Jiu frowned: "What are you doing?"
"It seems that Miss Liu is not very sensitive. In this case, let's change something."
