Chapter 325 I Won't Leave You Behind Again
"good!"
Old K laughed and patted the wheelchair: "Our family finally meets each other."
"Who wants to be your family?"
Chi Xia's voice came from the door, and Qu Bai couldn't help but look back.
She was wearing an outfit that didn't match her usual style. Her hair was a little wet, but she looked very fresh.
It should be that when these people brought her in, they confiscated all her belongings and asked her to change her clothes. She was quite comfortable and took a shower before coming here.
Chi Xia looked past Old K and towards Qu Bai, as if he was trying to identify him.
She stared at Qu Bai for a while, then walked towards him. When she passed Ade, she looked down and frowned slightly.
"Long time no see, Qu Bai."
She walked up to Qu Bai, stretched out her hand to him, her eyes light.
Qu Bai's surprise was very obvious in Old K's eyes.
He also frowned, but reached out and shook Chi Xia's hand. He concealed the surprise in his eyes and looked at Chi Xia inquiringly.
Chi Xia let go of his hand, turned around, walked to Yang Shujun's wheelchair and squatted down.
She raised her arms and touched Yang Shujun's face with one hand. Yang Shujun looked at her with empty eyes, as if everything was beyond her perception.
Chi Xia's hands moved from Yang Shujun's face to her hands. She wrapped Yang Shujun's thin and cold hands and stared at her face gently.
"If she's always like this, or if she's always been like this, I don't mind if everyone gets into a fight."
"Of course not." Old K said briskly, "Without the effects of the medication, her condition is still normal."
"It's still normal. How do you calculate it ?"
Chi Xia stood up and looked around, finally finding a blanket. She walked over and covered Yang Shujun with the blanket: "In the video you sent me, I didn't see her normal state."
"summer."
Old K had an unhappy look on his face: "You know my style of doing things very well, and you should also know your adoptive mother's personality. If she were completely normal, she would not be alive today."
"So you use drugs to control her, keeping her in this numb state for a long time." Chi Xia looked at Lao K with a smile.
After many years, they met again. Chi Xia was no longer the little girl who would just glare at him but refused to admit defeat. Instead, her eyes were calm and firm, and she could even show sarcasm towards him.
“You’re old.”
Chi Xia looked at him and tapped her temples: "You dye your hair faster than you age."
This sentence touched Old K a little, and he quickly laughed: "Xia, I didn't expect you to say this to me first."
"What did you think I was going to say?"
"A lot, but at least not this one," said Lao K.
Chi Xia chuckled, frowned slightly and looked in Ade's direction: "Whose man is that?"
"Mine." Qu Bai said.
Chi Xia seemed to suddenly realize something, and his eyes swept between Qu Bai and Lao K.
"I see. It's still the same after all these years. Others can't use their emotions to control you, but using other people's emotions to control others is still the method you are most familiar with."
Chi Xia walked over to Ade and squatted down, checking his breathing: "This is Qu Bai's man, so I'm asking for mercy for him."
"Plead for mercy? What bargaining chip do you have to plead for mercy with me?" Old K looked at her with a smile.
"Don't you know best what my bargaining chip is?" Chi Xia propped up her knees and looked at him: "Right, my good father?"
Old K watched her with admiration in his eyes. He gestured for someone to take Ade away for treatment, and then said to Chi Xia, "Little fox, are you calling me father willingly, or against your will?"
"Growing up in front of you, how much affection or nostalgia do you expect me to have?"
Chi Xia smiled at him brightly: "Of course it's against my will."
Because of her words, Qu Bai couldn't help but smile.
Old K wasn't angry: "You've lost your temper, and you've been sarcastic overtly and covertly. It's time we get down to business."
"sure."
Chi Xia also sat down: "I was busy frying your beard last night and haven't eaten anything yet. Make me a bowl of noodles. I can only do my work after I'm full and satisfied."
Old K laughed out loud, with joy in the corners of his eyes.
He looked at Qu Bai and said, "Third brother, look, our little fox is really an interesting person."
Qu Bai looked at Chi Xia with inquiry and curiosity in his eyes.
But Chi Xia's eyes were much softer when she looked at him. She waved at him and said, "Come eat with me."
Qu Bai frowned, thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay."
"Then give me one bowl too." Lao K said, "Hurry up."
After someone answered, Chi Xia looked at Yang Shujun and said, "Take her away. I hope to see her sober."
Old K thought about it and waved his hand, agreeing to her request.
Soon, there were only three of them left in the room.
After a period of silence, Old K spoke first: "You two used to be so close, but now you are much more distant. This is not good."
"Anyone who has been separated from someone for so many years would feel this way. What's so strange about that?"
Chi Xia said nonchalantly: "Before my memory was restored, we dealt with each other several times. Now that I think about it, either your acting is too good , or you hate me because I ran away alone, or... your memory is gone just like mine, and it hasn't been restored until now, so..."
She looked at Qu Bai expectantly: "Which one?"
Qu Bai lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, he glanced at Lao K, and his voice was a little cold: "So you ran away alone at the beginning."
“I forgot.”
Chi Xia's eyes were blank for a moment: "The situation is complicated, I really forgot, otherwise I wouldn't be so ambiguous."
Qu Bai sneered: "It doesn't matter anymore."
Someone brought in three bowls of noodles and placed them on the table. Chi Xia brought a bowl to himself and said, "Please get me some vinegar."
The men looked at Lao K.
"Go get it for her," said Old K.
Chi Xia stirred the noodles: "So you don't remember me all these years."
Qu Bai hummed.
"What about now?" Chi Xia asked, "You still don't remember, right?"
Qu Bai didn't answer.
Old K was observing their expressions from the opposite side, and the emotions in his eyes relaxed.
After bringing the vinegar, Chi Xia added the vinegar to the noodles and ate them without saying a word. She ate with great relish, which seemed to have aroused Lao K's appetite.
For a moment, the only sound in the huge house was the sound of three people slurping noodles.
The scene was a bit weird, but when Old K looked at Chi Xia calmly picking up the bowl to drink the soup, he felt that this was how the scene should be when the three of them were together.
Chi Xia drank the noodle soup in one breath and felt refreshed all over.
She wiped her mouth and said, "Can we talk about this tomorrow?"
"Oh?" Old K was interested: "What's the reason?"
Chi Xia yawned, tears streaming down her face: "Didn't I just say that I haven't closed my eyes in a long time because I was busy catching people and fighting? You should be the same, right?"
"You've hit the nail on the head." Old K patted his knees and said, "Because of you, I didn't sleep a wink all night."
"What's the hurry?" Chi Xia stood up: "Everyone take a break, and then think about how to torture each other."
Old K laughed: "Are you so sure that we are torturing each other, and not me torturing you?"
"Who knows." Chi Xia smiled: "Can we take a break now?"
Old K pointed at Qu Bai and said, "Old Three, take her to rest."
Qu Bai responded and walked out with Chi Xia. Old K looked at them with a dark look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When Chi Xia and Qu Bai walked out of the building, Lao K's men followed them.
The two of them didn't speak along the way.
Until Chi Xia arrived at the room where she had just changed her clothes, when the door opened, she stood in the doorway and looked at the two people: "You want to enter my room too?"
Thinking of her behavior in front of Old K, the two men stopped at the door.
The door was open, Chi Xia and Qu Bai walked in without closing the door.
In the semi-blocked area of the living room, Qu Bai lowered his voice and said, "Chi Xia, you shouldn't have come."
"I have to come." Chi Xia also lowered his voice: "I won't abandon you again."
"I have a solution." Qu Bai said.
Chi Xia lowered her head to pick up the newspaper on the table: "I don't believe it, just follow my instructions, Luo Xun is outside."
Qu Bai's eyes lit up.
"Don't act on your own. You have to listen to me this time." Chi Xia said as he stood up.
Qu Bai hummed softly.
In the eyes of the two people outside the door, they seemed to have done nothing and said nothing.
