Ruan Qi slowly took out her mobile phone from her bag and opened WeChat.
Perhaps she hadn't recovered from her sleepiness yet, so she glanced at the voice bar in the chat window in confusion, and clicked to play without thinking.
"Xiao Qi'er, in a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of the death of your fourth grandpa. Is there anything you want grandpa to bring for you?"
Grandpa Ruan's loud voice came from the receiver, which made the little girl tremble, and her sleepiness was gone.
She glanced at Xi Jiu apologetically, then quickly typed a line of text and sent it.
After a while, Grandpa Ruan replied to the message.
The grandfather and grandson talked back and forth for a while. After Ruan Qi turned off her phone, she raised her head and unexpectedly found that Xi Jiu's face looked a little ugly.
She blinked in confusion, "Mr. Xi?"
Xi Jiu's expression relaxed a little, and she said a faint 'hmm'.
Ruan Qi looked at him several times worriedly.
Xi Jiu's air pressure was much lower than before, and there was a faint chill all over her body.
Ruan Qi was confused and wondered why this man suddenly had a fit.
"Miss Ruan."
The silent Xi Jiu suddenly spoke up.
Ruan Qi turned to look at him.
Xi Jiu stopped talking again.
A pair of cold eyes stared straight ahead, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned.
Ruan Qi was filled with questions and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Xi, what can I do for you?"
Xi Jiu's cold eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, and then spoke seriously.
"Miss Ruan, your fourth grandfather..."
"?" Ruan Qi looked puzzled, "My fourth grandfather? What's wrong?"
Xi Jiu pursed her lips, and the knuckles of her hands holding the steering wheel turned white.
There was struggle hidden in his dark eyes.
After a while, he seemed to let out a breath and said hoarsely, "It's okay."
Ruan Qi felt that something was wrong with Xi Jiu's condition. She blinked her peach blossom eyes and looked at him doubtfully.
Xi Jiu's thin lips stretched into a straight line.
He felt Ruan Qi's gaze, and his eyes darkened. He turned the steering wheel, parked the car on the side of the road, and turned to look at her solemnly.
"Ms. Ruan, I have a question."
"On August 14th ten years ago, where were you, Miss Ruan?"
——*——*——
Maybach stopped outside the community.
Ruan Qi opened the car door and stepped out of the car, with a few question marks faintly above her head.
Did she say something wrong?
Didn’t he just reply, ‘I spent the summer vacation at home in August ten years ago’?
Why is Xi Jiu's face as green as a green carrot?
Ruan Qi took a look at herself and made sure that she didn't say anything irritating to anyone, then turned around and took a look at the car.
Xi Jiu was sitting in the driver's seat, with a handsome face as cold as an ice sculpture, puffing out air-conditioning in the hot August.
Ruan Qi rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and was about to close the car door when a layer of red light suddenly appeared around Xi Jiu.
