Love Ignites A Prairie Fire - Chapter 8
Qi Huan almost unhesitatingly pulled Qu Jianchen’s sleeve and acted coquettishly, “Qu Jianchen, can you help me~”
It’s not like the usual refreshing voice, it’s a little sweeter, which makes people unable to help it.
Qu Jian’s eyes flashed slightly, and she said, “Continue.”
Qi Huan: “…”
.
Qi Huan gritted her teeth and warned in a low voice: “Don’t go too far, I clearly said that today I can use you at will!”
Qu Jianshen grabbed her hand and walked forward.
As soon as the warm and broad hand wrapped Qi Huan’s hand, she was stunned for a moment, and then a numb tremor reached her heart, followed by a shocking wave.
Qi Huan’s face became hot, he quickly pulled back his hand, and stammered: “What, what…”
Qu Jian raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Don’t want to talk to painter Qi Shihua? Don’t want to take a photo?”
Qi Huan raised his head suddenly, with joy in his surprise, “Think!”
Qu Jian smiled lightly: “then let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
Qi Huan smiled and quickly followed.
Qi Shihua was a little surprised when he saw Qu Jianshen and Qi Huan coming over. To say who was the most watched, naturally it belonged to the two of them.
Although this dinner was originally hosted by the Qi family, even Qi Xiuran himself did not expect Qu Jianshen to come.
“Auntie, they are…” Qi Xiuran introduced the identities of Qu Jianchen and Qi Huan one by one.
After finishing speaking, Qi Xiuran whispered to Qi Shihua’s ear and said, “I heard that they just signed a marriage contract.”
Qi Huan: “…”
This sentence is fine.
Qi Shihua looked at the two of them, and laughed loudly: “I haven’t seen such a good match for a long time.”
Qu Jianshen answered immediately: “Thank you.”
Qi Huan: ?
Qu Jianshen said again: “Huanhuan likes the teacher’s work very much, so I always wanted to meet the teacher.”
Qi Shihua smiled and looked at Qi Huan, “Few people like my works, they all say that my works are flashy and have no connotation.”
“That’s not it!” Qi Huan retorted, “The teacher’s work is full of vitality and vigorous, and it is a work that makes people very happy to see it.”
When she was in junior high school, Qi Huan went to the art gallery for the first time to see the art exhibition.
Later, I came into contact with other works, only to find that she is good at turning trivial matters in life into paintings, which are full of girlish hearts, interesting and agile.
Qi Huan will choose the path of painting in the future, all because of Qi Shihua’s enlightenment, she also wants to use her works to bring joy and happiness to the people who watch.
In the lounge, Qi Huan boldly expressed her thoughts to Qi Shihua.
Outside the lounge, Qi Xiuran looked at Qu Jianshen with a smile, “Actually, I’m already surprised that you accepted the invitation. It turned out to be another reason.”
***
Today, Qi Huan is very satisfied that she can fulfill her dream.
Qi Shihua was getting old, and soon after returning to China, he became tired quickly, so he was sent back.
The dinner party had already started.
Qi Huan narrowed her eyes, but she couldn’t find Qu Jianshen for a while.
The banquet was originally a hunting ground for some people. As soon as Qi Huan appeared in the hall, many eyes fell on her.
I couldn’t help but approached with a glass of wine.
“Alone? Would you like to have a drink together?”
Qi Huan frowned and looked at the man in front of her. Although she looked polite, the eyes that looked at her up and down made her very uncomfortable.
“I can’t drink, I only drink with handsome people.” She directly scolded.
The man’s face changed, “You say I’m ugly?”
Qi Huan blinked and asked innocently, “Do you feel the same way yourself? Then our views are unified.”
Qi Huan pouted, “Trash.”
“I thought you were going to beat someone just now.” Qu Jianshen just came over at this time, and laughed and teased.
Qi Huan glanced down at his dress, pursed her lips and said, “If it weren’t for the inconvenience of wearing clothes, hmph, it would be cheaper for him.”
Ye Songlan and Qi Hao sent Qi Huan to learn taekwondo and some self-defense techniques since childhood, because they also knew that girls are relatively disadvantaged in this society, and they were afraid that Qi Huan would be bullied when they were away.
Although her dream is to be an athlete, she doesn’t have that kind of talent for sports, but Qi Huan is very serious about learning self-defense. She wants to protect herself and the people around her.
Qi Huan raised her eyes and couldn’t help asking Qu Jian, “When are we going back?”
Qu Jian looked down at her and said with a smile, “What? You want to leave when your wish is fulfilled?”
Qi Huan felt guilty for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, “I’m hungry.”
Qu Jian bent her lips, “Follow me.”
A variety of desserts and beverages are provided beside the banquet hall, and there is a lounge area next to it, where you can sit and chat.
After Qu Jianshen brought Qi Huan over, Xu Ling also followed and whispered a few words in his ear.
Qi Huan noticed it, waved her hand and said, “Go to work quickly, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Qu Jianshen was a little worried, and instructed word by word, “Don’t run away, don’t talk to strangers, don’t drink, and remember to call me if you encounter anything.”
Qi Huan frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: “I’m a 25-year-old adult, not a 5-year-old, don’t treat me like a child!”
Qu Jianshen stretched out her hand to rub the top of Qi Huan’s hair, but finally held back, only smiled and said, “Wait for me to come back.”
***
Although the banquet was lively, Qi Huan’s nest in the corner was undisturbed, and she was quite comfortable.
Filled her stomach half full with desserts and drinks. Before Qi Huan could turn her attention to other things, she saw Cheng Yubai walking towards her from a distance.
“I said just now that everyone was discussing about marriage or not, so you and Jian Chen came together.” Cheng Yubai sat down familiarly, and picked out a piece of dessert on the table and put it in his mouth.
Qi Huan wanted to roll her eyes, but she didn’t expect everyone to gossip like this.
Since she sat here, no less than five groups of people have passed by in front of her, as if she is an animal in some zoo.
Qi Huan glanced at Cheng Yubai who was eating non-stop, then rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, “Cheng Yubai, do you have a good relationship with Qu Jianshen?”
Cheng Yubai nodded immediately: “What do you need to say?”
“Then do you know what weakness or fear Qu Jianshen has?” Qi Huan hurriedly handed Cheng Yubai another drink, very attentive.
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and stared at Qi Huan for a long time.
Qi Huan’s heart flickered and her eyes flashed, “Don’t you know?”
“How long have you known Jian Chen?” Cheng Yubai asked.
Qi Huan replied in a daze: “It should be twenty years since I can remember.”
He paused slightly, then added: “If I had known, I would have used it to threaten him.”
Qi Huan was disappointed, and instantly lost her enthusiasm.
“But…” Cheng Yubai suddenly remembered something, “I’ve seen the most panicked expression in his life.”
Qi Huan was interested again, and hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter?”
“When I was a sophomore in high school, one morning, he suddenly ran out in a panic, didn’t ask for leave, and didn’t come back to class all morning.” Cheng Yubai recalled, “I asked him what happened later. He never said anything about it. I still remember that it was raining heavily that day, and when he went back to school, he was soaked all over, but he didn’t say a word, even when the teacher asked him, he didn’t say anything.”
Qi Huan was slightly stunned, as if she had caught some flashing pictures in her head.
She frowned slightly and asked, “Do you remember the exact date?”
“Then how can I remember.” Cheng Yubai shook his head, “Maybe? Because he wears long sleeves, if I remember correctly.”
***
The faucet of memory seemed to be opened instantly, and Qi Huan returned to the second semester of high school.
She and Qu Jianshen were in the same school and different classes in high school, and they went to separate schools instead of going to school together. But it happened that Qi Huan’s parents were on a business trip in those days, and there were only her and the nanny at home, so Jian Heying asked Qi Huan to go to her house for dinner, and by the way, let her go to school with Qu Jianshen and take care of each other.
Qi Huan and Qu Jianshen were not very happy, but they still listened to Jian Heying’s words.
But that morning, Qi Huan slept late, so Qu Jianshen left without waiting for her, while Qi Huan had a car accident on the way to school.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, just injured the leg.
At that time, the most sad thing for her was that she was injured, but in the days when she was hospitalized, Qu Jianshen didn’t see her for a day.
For this reason, Qi Huan held grudges for several months.
She remembered that it was raining heavily on the day of the car accident. Could it be that Qu Jianshen went to her that day?
Cheng Yubai’s eyes fell on Qi Huan’s wrist at this time. The bracelet was very familiar to him. “The bracelet was given to you by Jian Chen.”
Qi Huan was slightly startled, and her thoughts followed, “How did you know?”
“Because I helped to find out, I can’t help you if you lose the bet.” Cheng Yubai picked out another piece of dessert from the plate and ate it without stopping, “This kind of blue diamond is very hard to find. , although it is not big, but this one has reached the vivid color level of colored diamonds, so there is no need to say how precious it is, the key is that it is difficult to buy with money, I still got the news from a collector.”
Qi Huan was stunned again, she touched the bracelet, and her heart beat quickly.
After a while, she frowned and said, “Then it’s a good trip for me.”
“But why are you asking about Jian Chen’s weakness?” Cheng Yubai asked curiously.
Qi Huan answered confidently: “Of course he is in his hand to threaten him!”
“Cow.” Cheng Yubai gave a thumbs up, “Then remember to tell me later, I also want to threaten him.”
Qi Huan looked righteous, pretending to be surprised and said, “You are too much, aren’t you his brother? You still want to do such a thing.”
Cheng Yubai: ?
