Cheng Suiran lowered his eyelashes to hide the panic in his eyes, raised his hand to wipe away the remaining tears on his face, and turned to look at the man beside him.

Li Qizhi frowned, picked up the phone, looked at the contacts on the screen, was surprised for a moment, looked at Cheng Suiran beside him, and pressed the answer button.

"Brother, long time no see!"

A slightly excited female voice came from the other end of the phone, with a playful tone.

Li Qizhi raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He listened to her words and then said calmly: "You want to see me for something?"

"Yes." The female voice on the phone paused for a second in laughter, and then said with rare seriousness: "Brother, I want to bring Xia Xia back."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Qizhi's tone suddenly turned cold: "Jiang Weiyi, haven't you messed around enough?"

Hearing the familiar name, Cheng Suiran's eyes lit up and he subconsciously moved closer, trying to hear the words clearly.

In her second year of studying abroad at university, Jiang Weiyi suddenly cut off all contact with her, including her brother. She once asked her brother what happened, but her brother kept silent and even asked her not to

Let’s not mention anything about Jiang Weiyi again.

The little girl's long black hair is slightly curly, and the bangs on her forehead are now all lifted up. Her facial features are exquisite, and the youthfulness of the girl she once was has faded away. She is wearing a white shirt and jeans, simple and clean.

Hearing his words, Cheng Suiran became more doubtful and shook his head.

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his thumb against the glass, wondering what he was thinking.

Now that she was in the best years of her life, how could he not feel inferior to her?

Xiao Ke glared at him and snorted: "You can't even match a finger of Dr. Cheng, and you are so old. How can you be worthy of Dr. Cheng?"

Thinking of this, Cheng Suiran raised his hand to cover his chest, feeling the pain in his heart, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the stairs with heavy steps.

Hearing this, Cheng Suiran's heart trembled slightly, she pursed her pink lips, met his gaze, and murmured, "Do you know... what happened to my brother and Weiyi back then?"

Cheng Suiran noticed his behavior, his eyes dimmed a bit, and he turned his head and stopped looking at him.

"Why?" Li Qizhi was neither annoyed nor angry, his expression was leisurely, but the flash of gloom in his eyes revealed his mood.

"Yes." Xiao Ke nodded firmly and said word by word: "You are not worthy."

Li Qizhi was stunned for a moment, put down the glass in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and said "hmm" in his voice.

Xiao Ke pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at him and said word by word: "Just bet, I'm not afraid of losing to you anyway!"

"Tch." Xiao Ke curled his lips disdainfully and rolled his eyes at him: "Stop bragging. If you are really good, why aren't you with Dr. Cheng yet? Do you dare to bet with me?"

Cheng Suiran strode out of a box and stood with her back stiffly leaning against the corner wall. Her legs were a little weak. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

——

"I'm stronger than you think." Li Qizhi chuckled, but there was some sadness and sadness in his smile.

Li Qizhi stared at her, tapping the edge of the table with his slender fingers, again and again, as if he was tapping her heart.

"What are you betting on?" Li Qizhi asked casually.

"What's the matter?" Li Qizhi put out the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at her, and said to himself: "For today's matter, you can just put all the problems on me..."

Listening to her sour tone, Li Qizhi raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his lips and smiled, looked at her with a half-smile, and slowly uttered two words: "Not worthy?"

"Betting..." Xiao Ke was about to blurt out what he was betting on, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he stopped talking.

Li Qizhi lowered his eyes to look at her, and deliberately avoided her. He continued to face the phone and said in a cold voice: "This matter is not negotiable. You'd better give up the idea as soon as possible."

She knew that time would change a lot, but when she noticed Li Qizhi subconsciously avoiding her, her heart couldn't stop falling.

"Since it's a matter between them, Cheng Siyan should tell you." Li Qizhi pursed his thin lips slightly, but his voice remained gentle.

Cheng Suiran frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his answer. He stood up and said softly: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

When she saw Li Qizhi today, she thought about many scenes when she reunited with him, but she never thought that he would be so indifferent. His indifference made her feel that he seemed to have really let go of all the things he had with her.

, but she was the only one who still stayed in that memory and couldn't let it go.

"Brother..." Jiang Weiyi sighed helplessly and tried to persuade her: "Xia Xia is my child, I will always take her with me."

"If you insist on this, then there is no need to continue talking." Li Qizhi frowned and said without any hint of negotiation in his tone: "That's it, hang up."

"Let's go." Li Qizhi glanced at her and asked in an indifferent tone, "Do you have anything else?"

Li Qizhi chuckled, nodded and said, "Okay, let's make a bet."

When he suddenly saw the little girl he hadn't seen for a long time, his heart suddenly lost control. He wanted to hold the little girl in his arms at all costs, but after seeing the changes in the little girl, he didn't dare.

Xiao Ke curled his lips and said in disgust: "Of course."

Li Qizhi stared at her back and frowned thoughtfully.

Xiao Ke coughed and stood up as she pushed the door open. She stretched out her hand to disperse the strong and pungent smell of smoke in the air. When she stepped in, she saw a man sitting on the sofa smoking.

After she finished speaking, regardless of whether he agreed or not, she pushed away the chair and left, with her back straight and her steps determined.

She couldn't help but frown, looked around, and asked aloud: "Hey, where is Dr. Cheng?"

"Why aren't you talking?" Li Qizhi asked interestingly.

Cheng Suiran waited quietly for his next words.

"Who wants to tell you this?" Xiao Ke crossed his arms over his chest, glanced at him up and down, and said mockingly: "I want to say, you are not allowed to like Dr. Cheng anymore, you are not worthy of Dr. Cheng at all."

A flash of thought flashed across Li Qizhi's eyes. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to rub her black hair and asked warmly, "Cheng Siyan didn't tell you?"

On the other side, inside the box.

Cheng Suiran's eyes were lowered, and her long and curled eyelashes covered the sadness in her eyes. She bit her lips lightly and asked aloud: "Is it Weiyi?"

"How to bet?"

"If you lose, stay away from Dr. Cheng in the future. If I win, then you should also stay away from Dr. Cheng."

"What if you lose?" Li Qizhi asked back.

Xiao Ke fired back: "I can't lose! You and Dr. Cheng will definitely not be together. The suitors surrounding Dr. Cheng are much better than you!"
