Qin Zhan didn’t stop, dialing the number he had long memorized in his heart, and said lightly, "Respecting the old, now it’s time to love the young."
Old Sir Qin paused upon hearing this and curiously asked, "Which young one are you talking about?"
Then, Old Sir Qin sighed, "The child really isn’t bad-looking, much more pleasing to the eye than you, just a pity, not a girl, otherwise would be very handsome."
Qin Zhan’s hand paused slightly, he let out an ’oh’ and no longer paid attention to Old Sir Qin.
Seeing that Qin Zhan was ignoring him, Old Sir Qin clicked his tongue lightly, suddenly thinking of something, and seemed a bit gloating, commenting that the other party was still underage, indeed still a youngster.
At this moment, Qin Zhan had already walked to the side, quietly waiting for the call to connect. When it finally did, the cold, indifferent yet somewhat gentle voice on the other side made his eyes soften, and his deep laugh sounded softly.
Meanwhile, when the phone rang, Bi Xia glanced at the name on the screen, her red lips forming a slight arc, as she walked to the door to answer the call. Just before the other person spoke, she said, "Hello, Fourth Brother."
A magnetic laugh sounded, it slowly replied, "Hello, Little Nine." Read full story at novel⁂fire.net
The other side paused, seeming to speak to someone, then Qin Zhan’s voice came through saying ’You better behave, don’t scare them away’, before addressing Bi Xia again, "Wait a moment."
Bi Xia softly agreed, listening to the sounds and footsteps coming through the phone. She guessed that Qin Zhan was likely walking somewhere, then soon the sound of trickling water came through.
"Can you hear it?" Qin Zhan suddenly asked.
Bi Xia nodded, "I hear it, sounds like... water from a creek, are you by a creek?"
"No," standing in the pavilion of the corridor, Qin Zhan leaned against a pillar, looking at the clear creek water flowing slowly outside, chuckled softly, "I’m at the old house."
"The old house? How come there’s the sound of creek water?" Bi Xia tilted her head.
"There’s a circulating creek behind the courtyard, the Old Sir likes these close-to-nature and somewhat vintage things, so he set one up. Although a bit tedious, the environment is nice," after a brief pause, Qin Zhan softly laughed, "When I bring you here someday, you can see it. If you like it, we can set one up too."
"Ha," Bi Xia arched her lips, "That’s strange, why would I see the Old Sir, and what do you mean by ’we set one up’, where would we set it up?"
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Qin Zhan couldn’t help but laugh, "Being hypocritical..."
"Why, as my ’brother’, shouldn’t I meet grandpa?" his eyes half-squinted, filled with playful malice.
Bi Xia choked, "Alright, even if that’s the case, tell me, if I do like it, where would you set it up?"
"At our place," Qin Zhan answered matter-of-factly, "If not at our place, where else? Would Little Nine set it up at the doorstep?"
Stunned into silence by Qin Zhan, Bi Xia let out a small huff, "Well then, I’d trouble you, Fourth! Brother! But it’s a pity, bro! Her! I still haven’t thought about going to Beijing, even if you set up, it’d be useless."
"Doesn’t matter," Qin Zhan paused, then suddenly said sincerely, "I’ll come find you."
Startled by Qin Zhan’s unexpected seriousness, Bi Xia blinked, then her eyes curved into a smile, "Alright."
Upon hearing Bi Xia’s response, Qin Zhan smiled faintly, looking at the water flowing from the artificial mountain merging with the creek, the cycle of it, the gentle breeze caressing his face, his eyes narrowed, he spoke softly, "Little Nine, today’s weather in Beijing is bright."
Looking up slightly, Bi Xia gazed at the cloudless sky, "The sky in Qing City is also bright, but..."
Her starry eyes half-squinted, she raised her hand to block the somewhat glaring sunlight, looking at the blue and white intermixed sky on the left side, "The clouds are thick, very white... very beautiful."
The clear voice of the youth rang beside his ear, Qin Zhan could almost imagine the boy standing under the sky looking at the horizon with his head up, his eyes darkened slightly, he lightly sighed, "Really want..."
"Really want to look at Qing City’s sky with you..." after a moment of silence, Qin Zhan slowly said, "Also really want to see Beijing’s sky with you... I think... it must be very beautiful."
Stunned for a moment, her face gradually flushed, Bi Xia slowly raised a dazzling smile, "Then come back soon."
