"Hmm?" Bi Xia put her hands in her pockets, tilted her head, and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her. She blinked slightly and suddenly realized, "Oh! It’s you!"
She stretched out a hand and looked at the man with a roguish grin, "Hello, Ji Qiutang."
Ji Qiutang, looking at the hand extended in front of him, smiled softly and said, "Hello."
Bi Xia withdrew her hand, shrugged her shoulders, "Why are you here?"
She raised her hand and pointed around, "Are you here for a day tour too?"
Listening to the boy’s description, Ji Qiutang laughed, "No, I’m here to pick you up."
Bi Xia was stunned for a while, "Hmm? What?"
Ji Qiutang was patient and repeated, "I’m here to pick you up."
"Pick up?" Bi Xia crossed her arms and sized up Ji Qiutang, "Are we that close?"
Ji Qiutang mimicked Bi Xia’s movents and tilted his head, "We’ve exchanged gifts. Aren’t we close?"
"Oh," Ji Qiutang added, "I heard you are working on that Ancient Art City project, I got interested, so I ntioned it to the relevant people here in Qing City. As it happens, Director Zhang is one of their sons-in-law."
"Aiya!" Bi Xia exclaid enthusiastically stepping forward, "So it’s Brother Qiutang! Really sorry for not welcoming you properly, a pleasure to et you! Truly troubling you to co pick up this ti!"
Wen Yian: ...Little Nine, can you be any more shaless...
While 007 watched the scene before him, he couldn’t help but cover his face and thought, Qin Zhan! I couldn’t keep an eye on your partner! This guy clearly has ulterior motives! But you can’t bla , your partner likes the ’gift-giver’!
Ji Qiutang also cooperated, taking a step back, "So shall we?"
Bi Xia smiled lightly, "Please."
Wen Yian: ...What is this ancient elegance déjà vu?!
Just as Ji Qiutang said, the surna Ji represents a special significance in the field of antiques.
Like today, the people Ji Qiutang invited are all renowned experts in ancient artifacts in Qing City.
But what Bi Xia didn’t expect was that Ji Qiutang actually set the eting at the Xia Family restaurant.
Handing over the antique matters to Wen Yian, and Director Zhang’s matters to ng Chi to handle, Bi Xia sat calmly in the office, his starry eyes coolly watching the man sitting across from him.
"Speak," Bi Xia began slowly, "Why choose this place?"
Ji Qiutang looked at the boy, whom he saw differently than before, and smiled slightly, "I was wondering how long you would keep up this act before you returned to your true self."
"Oh?" Bi Xia leaned against the sofa backrest, gazing indifferently at Ji Qiutang.
Ji Qiutang pointed at his own eyes, "I have to say, your roguishness is very well-portrayed. But your eyes are so beautiful that they can’t deceive."
"No matter how expressive your face is, your eyes are very distant from ."
Bi Xia sneered, "Of course they’re distant, I don’t know you, why should I be close?"
"That may not be the case," Ji Qiutang shook his head. He slowly looked at Bi Xia, "Your grandfather is God Xia Jingshen, your mother is Xia Shi, right?"
Bi Xia said, "That’s sothing everyone in Qing City knows now."
Ji Qiutang curled his lips and lightly shook his head, "Then let tell you sothing even you don’t know. Your grandfather had two very good friends in Beijing, one with the surna Zheng and the other... with the surna Qiu."
"Your mother had an excellent childhood friend, he is called," Ji Qiutang looked at Bi Xia, "Ji Han."
Bi Xia: ...
Huff—
Unable to hold back a laugh, Bi Xia covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress her smile, "What’s up with this pair of childhood friends, Xia Shi Ji Han, hahaha! Like the seasons!"
Ji Qiutang: ...Dad, finally soone continued my long-standing joke...
