A face like a porcelain doll
"Xue Che? What happened?" Tianqi asked with concern.
"It's nothing... there was a little accident..." Xue Che's expression flickered. After all, he was not very familiar with Tianqi and didn't want to tell him too much about his family.
"Xue Che, do you have any concerns? Last time at the bar, when Ru Xin wanted to say something, you weren't willing to say it was a family matter? Don't you regard me as a friend? If you can help I couldn't ask for more of your favor." Tianqi's eyes were full of sincerity.
"I... I just don't know how to say it... maybe, even if I say it, you won't believe it." Xue Che herself found it unbelievable. Is this the old society that still arranges marriages?
"Oh? How about I find a quiet place and you speak slowly. I like to listen to stories, especially yours."
"Then... well, if you don't feel bored." Xue Che also let down his guard. After all, Tianqi was like a big brother in the past few days, and he had nothing to hide.
"Then I will take you to a quiet tea restaurant, which is also under my name. The environment there is better, okay?"
"Okay, anywhere will do," Xue Che said.
"Oh, you are not afraid that I will sell you. You can go anywhere. Xue Che, do you have no heart or do you not care about many things in this world?" Tianqi muttered to himself. , Xue Che didn’t listen very seriously and smiled helplessly.
The car was speeding on the edge of the city, looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, Xue Che had a lot of thoughts. Maybe, the God of fate has never favored me.
Xue Che actually fell asleep without knowing it. When they arrived at the tea restaurant, Xu Tianqi couldn't bear to wake up the sleeping little girl.
How could you fall asleep so confidently? This girl who seems to be very guarded actually has a very low inner defense. That pair of long eyelashes trembled slightly, were you dreaming? Did something bad happen in the dream? Why do you look so uneasy? Qin Xueche, Qin Xueche, if I were a bad person, what would you do now?
Unable to control himself, his hand gently touched Xue Che's face. This porcelain doll-like face was really charming.
Xue Che actually woke up and quickly retracted her hand. Fortunately, she didn't see it. Xu Tianqi didn't want to break these beautiful things. If she knew her gang leader, would she feel so at ease?
"Huh? Sorry, I actually fell asleep. Are we there yet?" Xue Che looked out the window with sleepy eyes, and couldn't help but regret a little, why did he fall asleep like this?
"Yeah, we're here, get off the car!"
"OK."
This is a tea restaurant named "Qing". The decoration inside is mainly in the original style, with flowers, plants and trees, and a small cluster of slowly flowing fountain bonsai.
Seeing Xu Tianqi's arrival, the lobby manager hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Tianqi, you are here." He was not used to calling Tianqi the chairman. Everyone was used to calling him "Brother Tianqi", which was also consistent with his Being approachable is inseparable from the relationship.
"Arrange a quiet place and don't let anyone disturb you. Have a pot of Longjing before the rain." Xu Tianqi ordered.
"Yes! Please come with me."
"Xue Che, come on, follow me."
"OK!"
The three of them walked in together, and Xue Che suddenly felt that his heart was extremely bright, and there was a refreshing smell of incense that could calm him down.
"What kind of fragrance is this?"
"Oh, hello, miss, this is the secret ambergris burned in the corridor. It is said that in ancient times, only the emperor could use it." The lobby manager explained.
"Hey... it must be expensive! No wonder it smells so good! I feel better now!" Xue Che said happily like a little bird waiting to fly.
"Xue Che, do you like it? This is airlifted from Thailand. Just order a little every day and you will be able to use it. When you leave, you can take some away. However, don't use too much every day. Overdoing it will cause harm. It's harmful to your health." Tianqi said,
"Oh, no, no, thank you for your kindness. I just think it's fun. I don't need it at home. Thank you, Brother Tianqi."
"We're here, Brother Tianqi, just stay here. The tea will be brought up later."
"Please."
A secluded small private room with two seats, separated from other spaces by bamboo, a gust of wind blew by, and the bamboo shadows swayed.
The fresh and natural environment also brought Xue Che peace of mind.
"Sit down, Xueche."
"Thanks."
Sitting cross-legged is quite reminiscent of a Japanese tea ceremony.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, it's much better, thank you,"
"You're welcome, I'm here to hear the story."
"Hey, actually, it's not much of a story. It's just family stuff."
"oh?"
"Actually, I don't know where to start."
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want. There are only two of us here. No big deal, I'm going in one ear and out the other, so I won't tell your little secret." Tianqi tried to give Xue Che some peace of mind. He really I really want to know more about Xue Che.
"Excuse me, tea for you two." A waiter brought a pot of tea, placed it, and left.
"Try how the tea is brewing first."
"I don't understand either, but it smells so good!" Xue Che said after taking a sip.
"Hey, as long as it doesn't taste bad."
"Yeah, it's not bad, not bad."
Little did Xue Che know that after she took a small sip, she would get a bright red RMB.
"I don't know that person just now. He is my stepmother, the person who arranged for me to go on a blind date..."
Tian Qi was stunned as he slowly told the past events.
To actually arrange for a girl like Xue Che to go on a blind date with an old man in his fifties? What is this stepmother thinking? Is your brain broken?
Xue Che must have suffered a lot since childhood.
Unexpectedly, a pure, transparent and clean girl like her was left without a mother when she was three years old.
As for my father, he broke his leg in a car accident and needs to be taken care of by himself. He also has a half-brother who needs to be provided for.
Although he has been in the underworld for a long time and is not afraid of anything, at this moment, he feels pity for the girl in front of him.
