"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door. Zhang Ziqing looked back at the sky, turned around and walked to the door and opened it. Qin Shoumo stood at the door with a smile on his face, holding a large chocolate cake.
"Sir, after you were so angry just now, would you like to eat something sweet to relieve your anger?"
"Eating something sweet can relieve the anger." Zhang Ziqing rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, sweetness can make people feel better anyway." Qin Shoumo handed the cake to Zhang Ziqing and looked at the room inside, "You won't let me go in to say happy birthday to Miss Li?"
"Do you know each other?"
"At least we have a relationship! And look at it, it's windy and rainy outside, and I'm carrying such bad weather to deliver cakes to you. This is how you treat me!" Qin Shoumo said angrily.
Zhang Ziqing turned sideways to clear a path, "Then you go ahead."
Qin Shoumo walked into the living room with a smile, looked around casually, and commented: "Yes, Miss Li earns such a high salary and still lives such a simple life. She really fully carries forward the traditional virtues of hard work and hard work of the Chinese nation."
Zhang Ziqing closed the door and thought of something, "By the way, how did you do with the task assigned to you?"
"Don't you feel at ease when I do things? I will definitely arrange things well for you." Qin Shoumo patted his chest and then sighed pretentiously, "Oh, this process is just too difficult. You don't know. Those old men in the underworld made things difficult for me. I finally asked them for something. They wanted to put me on the fire and torture me. They seduced me into signing a series of unequal treaties, both subtly and implicitly. It’s so humiliating.”
"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Ziqing said calmly.
Qin Shoumo was even more heartbroken, "I have sacrificed so much just to get a thank you for your hard work. I am so worthless! If I had known better, I should have let you experience how difficult those old people in the underworld are!"
"I will not go to the underworld." Zhang Ziqing said expressionlessly: "My sword will go."
Qin Shoumo was stunned, "Why are you so irritable now? Is it because of that woman named Li Zhihan?"
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while and said softly: "It has nothing to do with her, I just found some bad signs.
I have met these people in the underworld several times in the past few days. I don’t know if it is because too much time has passed. Over the years, I have given them the impression that I have a good temper and am easy to talk to, so that no one takes me seriously when I speak now. It's happened.
Especially for those children who have lived in the past one or two thousand years, they may have only heard of my name in historical records, but they have no idea what kind of person I am, let alone a sense of awe. "
"Speaking of this, the patriarch told me when I came here that he was a little worried that if you caused such a big fight, it would cause another war between the three realms."
"What does he have to worry about? Let alone not being able to start a fight. Even if a fight does start, there is no need for him to take action."
"What if the underworld and the god world join forces? You can't face these two worlds alone, right?" Qin Shoumo asked tentatively.
"It's not like you haven't fought before." Zhang Ziqing looked at Qin Shoumo, "It seems that the long years of peace have made you afraid of fighting."
Qin Shoumo was stunned, "That's not what I meant..."
"In the era of the rule of the gods and the oppression of the underworld, the status of the human world is earned by oneself, not by relying on peace." Zhang Ziqing waved his hands and said: "Go back and tell the old people in the clan that if a war breaks out I have nothing to do with them. Even if the two worlds join forces, it will be my own business."
Qin Shoumo sighed, "I knew you were going to say that. The clan leader is already old, and it is inevitable that he has lived a stable and comfortable life in these years.
But don’t forget, you have the most followers in the clan, and there are also those militant factions who have long wanted to fight with you to the sky and enter the heavenly palace. If a fight really breaks out, it will not be the clan leader’s decision. . "
Zhang Ziqing was in a trance, and a somewhat distant picture emerged in his mind. In the battle to reach the sky thousands of years ago, several men covered in blood from the clan were half-kneeling in front of him, wearing armor and holding weapons, and said in a deep voice. Said: "Please ask Master Ziyan to lead us to attack the God Realm! Enter the Heavenly Palace!"
"Enter the Heavenly Palace!"
"Enter the Heavenly Palace!"
Behind the man, thousands of young people from the tribe were shouting angrily, full of fighting spirit.
Far above the sky, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace and a group of once-high gods all focused their eyes on him, waiting for his final decision.
"What are you two doing standing outside? Why don't you come in?"
A weak voice interrupted Zhang Ziqing's thoughts, and the two of them turned to look over. Li Zhihan was leaning against the door of the room, looking at them with his head tilted, but his face was much paler than before, and his lips were bloodless.
"Miss Li, we meet again." Qin Shoumo greeted Li Zhihan with a smile, "It's windy outside, I'll cool you down in a while, go in and have a rest."
Li Zhihan looked at Qin Shoumo, thought for a while and smiled: "I remember, you were the one who pulled me out at the exit of the sewer, right?"
"Oh, Miss Li has a good memory." Qin Shoumo nodded.
"The main reason is that people with this kind of temperament and appearance are rare even in Jiangning City. It's hard to remember. You're all here, let's come in and have a meal together." Li Zhihan invited.
Qin Shoumo looked at Li Zhihan's pale face and shook his head, "I'm just here to deliver things. I won't eat any more. I'll have some other things to do later."
After saying that, Qin Shoumo turned and walked towards the door. After opening the door, he remembered what he had left to say. He turned around and pointed at the cake in Zhang Ziqing's hand, "By the way, Miss Li, happy birthday."
Li Zhihan was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that Zhang Ziqing was still holding a birthday cake in his hand. When he came to his senses and wanted to say thank you, Qin Shoumo had already closed the door and left.
"Go in first." Zhang Ziqing said.
Li Zhihan nodded and followed Zhang Ziqing back to the room. He watched Zhang Ziqing take out the cake, insert the candles into the cake one by one, and finally insert the two characters 24.
"When I left your house last time, I saw a lot of snacks with chocolate flavor, so I asked him to give you a chocolate-flavored cake. I wonder if you would like it." Zhang Ziqing said softly: "Happy birthday to your second wife. My fourteenth birthday was just a little rough."
Li Zhihan looked at the cake in front of him with red eyes, "It's not simple at all. After I was four years old, my father passed away and I never had a birthday cake again.
You know, when I was a kid, our family owed so much money. On my birthday, I could only secretly stand outside the window of the cake shop, drooling at the various cream and fruit cakes inside. Other children were extremely envious when their adults took them to choose their favorite birthday cake.
But I didn't dare to tell my mother after I got home. When my mother asked me, I could only say that I didn't like eating cakes, it was too boring.
Later, when I grew up, I worked on my own and earned a lot of salary. Although most of it was used to treat my mother's illness, birthdays only come once a year, so it was more than enough to buy a birthday cake.
But at this time, I suddenly didn’t want to eat cake anymore. I remembered that people usually eat cakes as a family of three, or with friends by their side. But my mother is ill and can’t eat sweets, so I can only eat cakes. I ate it alone.
Oh, by the way, since my mother fell ill and was hospitalized, this is the first birthday I have not celebrated alone. I used to either go to work or fall asleep when I was too tired after get off work. I have never been able to sit here properly like this. It was raining heavily outside, and I was eating a steaming hot pot in the room with someone sitting across from me. A handsome guy, tsk tsk, what an ideal life. "
As Li Zhihan spoke, a happy smile overflowed involuntarily on her face. She looked up at Zhang Ziqing and asked softly: "I'm actually dead a long time ago, right? It's on the 89th floor of the company. It's a ghost beating the wall." That day."
Zhang Ziqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Zhihan, and nodded after a while, "Sorry, I'm still late."
"What's there to apologize for? Isn't this all my life? I should have died that day. It was only after Zhao Laosan threw me from the building and drowned that I remembered what happened that day. That ghost sucked all the remaining Yang Qi out of me in that space on the 89th floor. The reason why it is alive today is probably because you extended my life, right?"
"When I was leaving your house that day, I saw the date circled on your calendar and found that you were about to celebrate your twenty-fourth birthday, and your and your mother's birthdays were on the same day, so I thought that you should celebrate it first. Finish this birthday."
"So actually, even if I don't die that day, I will definitely die today, because my life has expired at twelve o'clock tonight."
Zhang Ziqing nodded and said nothing.
Li Zhihan smiled and said, "But I still have to thank you. I have had a wonderful life these days. I escaped death in Zhao Laosan's casino. Although I was not lucky, at least I have done what I wanted to do. .”
"sorry."
"I didn't tell you not to apologize. I don't regret it."
Zhang Ziqing said softly: "If it hadn't been for these few days, you wouldn't have suffered such humiliation from Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan."
Li Zhihan was silent for a while, as if thinking of his experiences last night and morning, his expression showed a momentary look of pain.
"Can you do me a favor?" Li Zhihan asked.
"you say."
"My mother was also thrown down from the building by Chen Hao. She didn't know how to swim, and with her physical condition, she should be gone. Can you..."
Before Li Zhihan finished speaking, Zhang Ziqing nodded, "I have already told Qin about this. He has already said hello to the person in charge of Huangquan Road in the underworld. You and your mother will meet on Huangquan Road, and we will go from Huangquan Road together." Go up the Naihe Bridge and go all the way to the Road of Reincarnation, and you will be reincarnated together."
"Will we still be a family in the next life?"
"Yes, but in the next life they will no longer be mother and daughter, but sisters."
"It's great, I can be a sister with my mother in the next life." Li Zhihan tilted his head and smiled: "Can you let me be a sister? In this life, she has pulled me from four to seventeen years old. Her lower body Have you devoted half your life to me? You no longer have a life of your own. Let me take care of her in the next life."
Zhang Ziqing nodded, "Okay."
"Thanks."
After a brief silence, Zhang Ziqing spoke first: "Blow out the candles and then make a wish."
Li Zhihan nodded, closed his eyes, made a wish in his heart, and blew out all the candles on the cake in one breath.
Zhang Ziqing looked at the young woman in front of him, and suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, "Is there anything else you want to do? Tonight."
"Can I go ride the Ferris wheel tonight? I've never been on one before."
