Chapter 30

The next day, Qingli had planned to ride a motorcycle directly back to the manor, more than a hundred kilometers of road, at most one and a half hours will be able to arrive.

As a result, Yue Qi said to her that she could take a vacation today, so she didn’t need to rush back.

“Vacation?”

“Well, the next day after a mission is a vacation, it’s an unwritten rule, you are free to move around, no need to rush back.”

Yue Zhi ate the breakfast made by the cook who never showed any sign of him, and sat down to prepare before going to work, usually Liang Jin would come and report the work process of today with him, but today he sent a message to the other party to wait downstairs.

Qing Li’s eyes are still red, her skin is too white and thin, so the red marks are particularly obvious.

Yue Zhi handed her a glass of orange juice, “I should have worn silk clothes in last night.”

“What?” Qingli didn’t understand.

“Pure cotton is still a bit rough,if it was silk, your eyes wouldn’t be so red.” Yue Qi said, rubbing his thumb on the corner of Qing Li’s eye.

It was even redder, like she had been crying all night.

Qing Li was a bit embarrassed, after drinking the juice, she stood up, “I’ll go change.”

She changed out of the nightgown that Yue Zhi had prepared for her, and hesitated for a moment when she picked up the training clothes that she was used to wearing, and finally put on straight jeans and a white oversize casual shirt, and if it wasn’t for her long hair and the white suspenders in her shirt, she would have looked like a refreshing teenager.

Yue Zhi looked at Qing Li from upstairs down, carrying a pink cross-body bag he bought, into the light wearing a touch of sweet color, “can?”

Qing Li knew what he was talking about, she rubbed the bag strap, frankly said, “Martha said, girls like beautiful bags …… I also like.”

“Well, this is good.” Yue Zhi said, “There’s something I’ve always wanted to say to you before, but I haven’t been able to take care of it.”

“What?”

“When you were in Manila, I called to tell you that I asked Liang Jin to buy a house in Kuala Lumpur for Martha’s mother and sister and settle them down.” Yue Zhi put down his napkin, “When Martha’s father died, the police had to be there, but after examining him, they concluded that he was drunk and cut fruits with a knife, and accidentally fell to the ground sticking the blade into his lungs and suffocated to death, and they suspected Martha’s mother as well, but the neighbors around her and those who were there made testimonies that Martha’s mother had never left the hearth, and that there were no outsiders present on that day, so they ended up closing the case as an accident closed the case.”

Greenleaf thought about the pair of gloves she’d made a point of wearing that day, and the way everyone in the hearse had looked at her when she’d arrived, the people who’d all stood by outside the cage for a long time, and this time had joined her in destroying that cage.

“Well done, Ah Li.” Yue Zhi got up and walked over to Qing Li, without saying anything more, he turned to ask about her trip, “Where are you planning to go?”

Qing Li also flicked over the matter, “I called Kanojin, he doesn’t have much to do today, I want to go see him, the new year is almost here.”

Yue Zhi nodded, “Go.”

Qing Li then got on his motorcycle and left.

December 28th, Kanojin’s seventeenth birthday, was still three or four days away, but she didn’t know if she had any other work on that day, and if she would still be in Singapore, so she thought about spending Kanojin’s birthday today.

Although there was still one semester left in high school, because Kanojin had gotten an early offer from the National University of Singapore, he could actually skip classes, so starting in the new year, he was allowed to go to Yue’s for an internship, following Liang Jin as a clerical assistant.

Qing Li thought it was great, she was still grateful to this day that Yue Zhi agreed to take Ganojin with her when she left, if Ganojin could also make good use of his ability to work at Yue’s, she would feel that being taken away from the old cage and coming to the new world would have more meaning too.

“Kanojin, I’m at the school entrance, come out.” Qing Li stretched her legs to support her motorcycle and called Kanojin.

The school wasn’t big, Kanojin quickly ran in, “A-chan.” He panted and stood in front of Aonashi with a big smile on his face.

Qing Li couldn’t help but rub his hairy head, although there was still no expression, the movements of his hands were gentle, “Did you grow taller again?”

“Uh-huh.” Ganojin complained, “I have growth lines on my waist and legs, my skin was already quite dark so it’s especially noticeable, and my legs always cramp up when I sleep at night.”

Qing Li laughed and tossed him a black helmet, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something nice to make up for it.”

That being said, it was still early for lunch, so she rode her bike and drove Kanojin to an old store that customized suits.

“Sister, you have to make an appointment here, don’t you, what are you doing here, picking up a suit for Yue Zhi?” Kanojin looked at the age-filled building and the old signboard, knowing that the consumer prices inside were the complete opposite of the outside of the building.

“Well, I happened to have an appointment with Master the last time he came to my door to help Mr. Customize his suit, and for Mr.’s sake, the owner said I could come by anytime.” Aonashi explained, pulling Kanojin inside.

The boss wasn’t there, but the teacher with white hair and glasses and a leather ruler around his neck happened to be the one who customized Yue Zhi’s suit last time he came to his door, he recognized Qing Li at once, “Little girl, this is it?”

Qing Li nodded slightly, “Hello, I would like to order two suits.”

“For this young man?” The teacher patted the threads on the sleeve cover and walked over, sizing up Ganojin.

“Uh-huh.”

“Sister, why do you need to make me a customized suit ah, wouldn’t it be better to go to the store and buy two?” Kanojin was, after all, only a seventeen year old teenager, and had a natural rejection of such stereotypical, dull attire as suits, even if he wanted to show a mature side in front of Aonashi.

“You’re going to be working for Mister starting next month, and you have to have two formal suits.” Aonashi looked up from the fabric, “Don’t embarrass Mister.”

“I know.” Kanojin muttered, “I don’t want black, it’s like a funeral suit.”

Aonashi laughed softly at his disgusted expression, “It’s a gift, a birthday present.”

Kanojin froze, “Sister …… but the birthday is still a few days away.”

“I have an irregular schedule, and I might have work to do by then, so I’m taking advantage of today’s vacation to give you an early one.” Qing Li said.

“Since it’s a birthday gift from A-chan, I’m going to pick it out.” Kanojin immediately got on board and picked it out himself.

After all, it’s in Singapore, it’s hot all year round, so wool and tweed fabrics aren’t suitable, in the end, they chose light silk and light colors, the style is also a bit collegiate, more youthful, although it’s not so formal, but it’s enough for Kanojin as a trainee assistant.

“Kanojin, grow up.” Qing Li looked at Kanojin who stood straight to let the master measure his body, and didn’t hold back to say.

“This is nothing, I’ll be more mature and powerful in the future.” Kanojin unfolded his arms, and although he still had the slenderness of a teenager, he could already glimpse the openness and strength of the future.

After that, they went to lunch together, and in the afternoon, they went to Sentosa Island together to see the Marine Museum and the Mangrove Nature Reserve, and originally, Kanojin wanted to take Qingli with him to the largest underwater world in Southeast Asia, and walk through the 83-meter-long underwater tunnel together, but the time was running out.

“Next time, sis, next time we must go to that underwater world together, for the first time I must go with sis.” Gano really regretted it to no end.

“Okay, got it.” Qing Li was a bit helpless, obviously she just felt that he had grown up, but she could still see the teenager’s unintentional childishness.

In the end, the two of them went to eat a hot pot together, and Aonashi rode the motorcycle again to wind up sending Kanojin back to school.

“Here, this is a gift too.” She pulled out the things she had taken the time to buy.

“What?” Kanojin took the bag and saw that it was a bag of …… calcium tablets.

“Sister-” Kanojin was speechless, “Give me a gift, can’t you send something romantic and ceremonial, this is also too practical.”

Qing Li’s mind suddenly flashed back to the pair of pearl cuffs and tie clips she gave to Yue Zhi, delicate and romantic, perhaps filled with the so-called sense of security, but in fact, Yue Zhi may not need it.

She wanted to give them to Yue Zhi, so she did, like a subconscious instinctive reaction, because when she saw that thing, she thought of what Yue Zhi would look like when he put them on, and by giving them away, she fulfilled her own fantasies at that moment, and even if Yue Zhi put them on the shelf and didn’t need them at all and didn’t use them, it didn’t matter really.

“You say that again?” Qing Li gave Kanojin a handful of knives, “Practical is best for you, you’ll thank me when you sleep at night without cramps.”

After saying that she twisted the handlebars and left in a noisy motor roar.

Arriving at Yue’s downstairs, she called Liang Jin, “Brother Liang, are you guys off work yet?”

Liang Jin said, “No, Mr. has to work a little bit longer, I guess it will take at least half an hour.”

“Then I’ll take the helicopter back with me.”

She parked her motorcycle in the exclusive parking space, right next to Yue Zhi’s two cars, and then went up the stairs to the security room, where the ones in charge of being the bodyguards today were Falcon and Singo Towers.

“I advise you not to go in yet, just now the boss sent Liang Jin all out, it looks like he’s in a bad mood.” Singota is a restrained and calm Nordic, light blonde hair, azure eyes, the whole person’s color is very light, one degree whiter than the skin is already very white green pear, with a light pink color, and because of the ethnicity of the relationship between the sweat hair is heavier, so it got a nickname called peach.

“For you guys, no alcohol.” Green Pear handed them both a cup of milk tea, which Singota casually handed to Falcon, which was fine with her.

Then she knocked on Yue Zhi’s office door with some hesitation, “Sir?”

There was no movement inside for a long time, Qing Li did not continue to knock, but stood quietly at the door and waited until the sound of “Come in” rang out.

She pushed open the door of the office and walked in, there was only a lamp next to the desk inside, the surroundings were dim, Yue Zhi leaned back in his seat.

Yue Zhi leaned back in his seat, his head tilted back, one arm resting on his face, his posture looked very tired, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, Qing Li could only see his tie that had been torn loose and the knot in his throat that was clearly raised.

“Sir.” Qing Li walked over and stood next to him, asking softly, “What’s wrong with you?”

She placed the things in her hand on the desk, and her afterglow caught a glimpse of Yue Zhi’s cell phone screen, which had a photo open, only half of which was revealed, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

With a “snap” sound, when she subconsciously wanted to move over to have a better look, Yue Zhi suddenly sat up straight, flipped the phone with one hand, cupped her slender waist with the other, and pressed his forehead against her abdomen.

“I’m sorry sir, I’m the one who overstepped my bounds.” More than feeling embarrassed and awkward first, what Qing Li realized first was how inappropriate her behavior just now was, she actually tried to snoop on Yue Zhi’s phone, Yue Zhi was really over indulgent towards her, and she actually lost her sense of boundaries without even realizing it.

Yue Zhi slowly shook his head, “It’s okay.”

Qing Li felt that Yue Zhi’s hand on her waist kept tightening, pinching and pinching the slim waist side one by one, rubbing the skin of that piece painfully, and the other party’s breath was also through the thin suspender belt on her body, spraying on the skin of her abdomen, burning badly.

She looked down at the back of Yue Zhi’s head, the hand that she had raised several times finally broke through restraint and reason, and gently touched Yue Zhi’s head, slowly smoothing down his black hair one by one, and unexpectedly soft strands of hair passed through her fingers with a bit of coolness.

Yue Zhi’s body stiffened for a moment, but did not avoid her hand, after a few seconds, his voice murmured in a low tone, “Ah Li, help me kill someone.”

Qing Li calmly answered, “Okay, kill who?”

Yue Zhi, however, did not speak again, after a long time, he sighed tersely, sat up straight and looked at Qing Li’s face from the bottom up, as if he was deliberately explaining, “Forget it, this matter is still too early for you, you don’t have enough experience.”

Qing Li also no longer pursued the question, the charming atmosphere just now seemed like it instantly dissipated as the two of them returned to their respective places.

“This is for you.” Qing Li put down a cup of milk tea in front of Yue Zhi, “Sugar can make one’s mood happy.” This was what Kanojin said, although she didn’t know the principle, it seemed like eating sweet ones would indeed make one’s mood better.

Yue Zhi smiled as he took the cup and took a sip, the Q-pearls rushed into his esophagus and he coughed violently, Qing Li hurriedly patted his back and brought over a glass of water.

He slowed down and resumed drinking the milk tea he’d never had before, which was served in a cheap plastic cup.

“Quite good.” Yue Zhi commented, putting down the milk tea cup, “January 28th is the Dabao Sen Festival, when that time comes, you’ll be taken to see the parade, it’s quite interesting.”

The topic jumped too quickly, but Qingli obeyed everything he did, “Okay.”
