“Really?” On the phone, a man’s gentle and elegant voice sounded like spring breeze, “While I was away, you and Si Huang have gotten quite close.”
This beautiful voice, and the magnanimity that came out naturally when he spoke made Li Jiming forget even what he wanted to say.
He was stunned for a moment, and then stopped messing around. He put the phone down and looked at it. The name on the caller’s note was Xia Qitong!
Li Jiming glared at Si Huang.
The latter gave him an innocent look, as if silently saying, you took the initiative to answer the question, what does it have to do with me?
Li Jiming was speechless and wanted to return the phone to Si Huang, but he refused to take back the phone.
There was no way to keep Xia Qitong hanging, so Li Jiming could only continue to play, switching back to his original voice, “It turns out to be Qitong, who did I think it was?”
Xia Qitong chuckled, just this laughter reminded him of the cool weather under the early morning mist in spring, and a pool of clear mountain spring water, slowly winding along the mountain stream, and you didn’t know where it ended.
“I didn’t expect you to answer the phone.” He joked: “I thought I could finally have a few words with my male idol.”
Li Jiming’s eyes widened as he had almost forgotten that Xia Qitong had said that he was a fan of Si Huang, then he heard the other party say that he was his male god.
Regardless of whether he was joking now, Li Jiming was also a smart person who listened to people and knew how to read people’s faces.
He returned the phone to Si Huang, “Here, it’s Xia Qitong.”
Si Huang took it over and without any surprise asked with a faint smile on the phone: “Why are you calling me at this time?
Qitong, “I guess you have no time now and are celebrating.”
“You guessed it right.” Si Huang didn’t hide it either.
“Congratulations, this battle was a good one.” Xia Qitong’s voice made people guess that there must be an intoxicating smile on the corner of his mouth at this moment, “You won in every aspect.”
“Thank you. “Si Huang turned her eyes, but you couldn’t determine what was going on in her mind. She just said, “It was easier than I thought.”
Xia Qitong laughed, “What if Tian Chengping heard what you said? Would he be so angry as to want to fight you again?”
Si Huang also smiled “haha” and said with a bad smile: “I hope he comes, after all, he is definitely no match for me in a one-on-one fight.”
It was easy to talk to Xia Qitong. Not only did he make people feel like they were in the spring breeze, there was also no pressure at all. What was more important was that he was such a person who knew when to say what, so that you could easily continue the conversation and unconsciously want to talk to him more.
Just like his overall demeanor, he was noble, elegant, gentle and calm, and his whole body exuded a clean affinity that made people want to get close to him.
For example, now, it was clear that the two of them were chatting in a good atmosphere, but Si Huang couldn’t keep chatting. After all, she was still at the banquet, so chatting on the phone would be rude as it would leave Guan Li and Li Jiming alone.
Even if Li Jiming and the others didn’t care.
Xia Qitong mentioned it himself first, “It’s a pity that now is not a good time to chat. Otherwise, I could listen to you talk about the victory process this time.”
Si Huang smiled and said nothing.
“I will return to China in a few days. Let’s meet and talk then.” Xia Qitong said.
Si Huang responded: “Okay.” This was an offer that should not be rejected.
Although he knew there were some differences between Xia Qitong and Li Jiming, it was difficult for anyone to hate this person. Even if they could not be partners, she would never want to be enemies with him. It would be best if they could become friends.
“Then you have fun and drink less.” Xia Qitong lowered her tone, and every word was filled with tenderness. For example, the glass of brandy the waiter brought to her at this moment was not only bright in color, but also like clear amber. The aroma of the wine was also very refreshing.
Si Huang held the glass of wine in her hand, not to drink it, but just to think about the feeling of Xia Qitong – just the appearance on the surface was enough to make countless people unable to help but taste it carefully. As for how much he hid inside, wasn’t that a mystery? What a wonderful man who looked gentle and harmless but could seduce countless people and destroy them!
“Goodbye.” Si Huang said this calmly, then waited for two seconds before politely hanging up the phone.
Just as she was about to put her phone back in her pocket, Li Jiming across from her said, “Will there be another call?”
Si Huang raised her eyebrows at him speechlessly.
The other party deliberately said: “Master Si, we are all guests you invited, but you didn’t know to turn off your phone and entertain us properly. It’s not kind.”
Si Huang saw that he was not really angry, it was probably revenge. Just after answering Xia Qitong’s call, she raised her eyebrows and said, “I don’t need to be polite to you.”
“This is not just a matter of politeness.” Li Jiming didn’t give her a chance to deal with it, and suddenly said with a narrow smile: “That’s right. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to receive calls from someone after turning off the phone?”
Si Huang’s eyes flickered, but there was no change on the surface, as if she had no reaction to Li Jiming’s teasing.
Li Jiming found it boring and did not continue to tease her.
After the dinner, everyone had a good time. In the end, Li Jiming and the others had drunk too much, so she booked a room for them in the hotel where the banquet was held.
Si Huang was originally planning to book a room in a hotel as well, but she was invited by the Yu brother and sister to stay at their home for one night, saying that their family had already prepared a room for her.
Si Huang did not refuse.
She then remembered that after arriving in the capital, she was too busy with Fenghuang Entertainment, and later went directly to Beijing University, so she even forgot to buy a house of her own.
In fact, rather than saying she forgot, it would be better to say that she didn’t need to think about it at that time, and when she needed to think about it, she didn’t have much interest anymore.
After arriving in the capital from H City, she first stayed with Grandma Yu for a few days, and then lived in the president’s room specially reserved for Fenghuang Entertainment. Within a few days, she went to Jinghua University and lived in the dormitory with Su Yueban and the others.
Having always lived in the same room as them, Si Huang felt a little uncomfortable having another person live in a big house.
