A few days later——
In the hospital, Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao came to visit Lao Qi every day.
He has been sleeping for a long time, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.
The two of them would come here almost every day during this period and stay with him quietly for a while before leaving.
After leaving the hospital, Cai Xiaotang originally thought that she would go home directly as usual.
Not a villa, but her small apartment.
Li Xiao has been living there for the past few days and has never mentioned going back, and neither has Cai Xiaotang.
The two of them cook and eat together, and when they have free time, they sit on the sofa and watch movies together.
It's just that Li Xiao seemed to be staring at the screen most of the time.
Occasionally, I don’t know who is calling me, so I will leave alone with my cell phone.
After coming back, Cai Xiaotang didn't ask any further questions.
When he wants to say something, he will say it naturally.
Nothing seems to be different, both of them seem to be working hard to maintain such a life.
"Would you like to go to the supermarket soon? The food in the refrigerator seems to be almost gone."
Cai Xiaotang closed the car door and asked casually.
I thought Li Xiao would agree directly, but unexpectedly he shook his head today.
"We'll go to the supermarket later. I'll take you somewhere first."
As he spoke, he started the car.
"good."
Cai Xiaotang agreed and didn't even ask where she was going, but she had a guess in her heart.
Half an hour later——
Sure enough, the car stopped at a place that looked like a cemetery.
Her heart trembled, and the emotions that had been buried for many days surged up in an instant.
It is indeed here...
Li Xiao has been busy dealing with the funeral affairs of Lao Wu and the others these days, and did not bring him over until the arrangements were made.
Cai Xiaotang didn't want to make the atmosphere too sad, so she hurriedly looked at Li Xiao and pretended to complain: "Why didn't you tell me you were here earlier? I should have brought a few bouquets of flowers."
Li Xiao forced a smile and complained: "These old men can't even tell the types of flowers. It's better to give them wine than to give them flowers, otherwise they might come to complain about me in their dreams at night."
As he spoke, he turned around and got out of the car, taking out a bottle of wine and a set of wine glasses from the trunk.
The two of them walked towards the mountain together.
After climbing up the long stairs and reaching the highest floor, Li Xiao turned around and walked towards the innermost level.
There are three tombstones placed side by side. Comparing them with those around them, you can tell at a glance that they were recently erected.
Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart.
The days of getting along with everyone seemed to be still vivid in his mind, but now, their tombstones were in front of him.
"Click!"
A soft sound interrupted Cai Xiaotang's thoughts.
She came back to her senses instantly and saw that Li Xiao had opened the wine bottle.
The strong aroma of wine wafted out instantly and lingered on the tip of the nose.
Cai Xiaotang took the initiative to pick up a wine glass and handed it to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao took it silently, poured three full cups, and placed them in the center of several people's tombstones one by one.
Then he sat down aside and poured himself a glass.
After staring at it for a few seconds, he drank it all.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
The "peace" that had been disguised for many days seemed to collapse at this time.
Li Xiao's fingertips pinched the cup so tightly that they turned white and trembled slightly.
Cai Xiaotang watched silently, letting him vent his emotions silently.
For a long time——
"Luo Wanwan is dead."
He whispered five words, as if he wanted to give an explanation to the people in the tombstone.
After that, he poured himself another glass of wine.
"Lao Qi, he's not awake yet, but... I guess he'll be fine. You usually talk to him a lot, and you don't want him to bother you so early, right?"
Li Xiao asked again and drank the wine in the glass again.
After that, he stopped talking.
There are only these two things to say.
He came today to drink with his brothers.
Half an hour later——
A large bottle of white wine has been filled with more than half of it.
Cai Xiaotang was afraid that drinking it like this would hurt his body, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Li Xiao, it's okay."
She held down his hand that was still about to pour the wine and shook her head slightly in disapproval.
Li Xiao made a move and shot Cai Xiaotang with a slightly sharp gaze due to his drunkenness.
The moment he saw her face, he softened.
The roots of his ears were slightly red.
There was no hint of drunkenness on his face or eyes.
Pause for a long time——
"good."
Li Xiao responded and put down the wine glass in his hand.
Then he chuckled again.
"Now that someone is watching over me, I don't seem to be able to drink casually."
He said, stood up and took Cai Xiaotang's hand.
"I'll leave this half bottle of wine to you."
After saying that, he took one last deep look at the three tombstones standing side by side, and then pulled Cai Xiaotang away in the direction he came from.
The entire journey was silent.
Until they reached the foot of the mountain, Cai Xiaotang thought that he had drunk, so he took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, but he was a little worried.
Li Xiao was a little drunk, but he was not drunk.
Seeing that she seemed to be frowning, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Cai Xiaotang was startled by his question, and the tangled look on her face instantly became heavier.
She is thinking...
What will he do next?
He never took the initiative to raise this question, and she never asked it.
However, if Lao Wu and the others have already taken care of their funeral affairs.
Lao Qi didn't wake up again.
What about him?
Isn't there no one around him that he can trust?
What to do next?
Cai Xiaotang bit her lower lip, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I'm thinking, what are you going to do next?"
She looked at Li Xiao with some anxiety, fearing that she would touch something uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly added: "Of course, I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer. I'm just a little worried..."
Before the last note could even finish, her fingertips were gently pinched.
"Little sugar."
Li Xiao looked at her with calm eyes.
He said in a calm tone: "Actually, I plan to exit the secret door."
It was obviously an important decision, but he seemed to just casually ask about what to eat tonight.
Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened in surprise.
"Exit the secret door?"
She never expected that Li Xiao would make such a decision.
It's not that I didn't think about asking him to quit, but I didn't expect that he would take the initiative...
"Are you wondering why I decided to quit?"
Cai Xiaotang's surprised expression was so obvious that her confusion was almost written on her face.
"Um……"
She responded subconsciously.
Li Xiao didn't answer, but he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became sharp.
After a pause for two seconds, he continued: "Didn't Luo Wanwan always have a mission? We have always wanted to know what her mission was. It wasn't until that day that I became clear that her mission was me. "
"It's you?"
Cai Xiaotang was even more shocked and didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while.
But he reacted within a second, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be what she meant?
The people at the secret door want to deal with Li Xiao?
