Bao Le curled his lips, and said fiercely: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered something from the past." Xie Huai covered his stomach, his eyes were deep, "I almost forgot, if Jiang Baole likes someone in his heart, of course he would admit it openly, wishing the whole world knew, how could it beHow about hiding it?"

When Xie Huai calls her, he usually refers to her as "you". He rarely calls her Bao Le like others, and of course he doesn't call her by her nickname, Niannian. More often, he calls her seriously.Full name, as before.In fact, this person, from the beginning to the end, divided them very clearly.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this," Bao Le waved his hand, "But since you asked me a question, I have to ask you a question too."

Xie Huai was a little surprised: "You ask."

The little girl re-polished the question in her heart, cleared her throat, and said very formally: "I have always been curious, how much do you know about the gift of the Xie family? When you saw me, you didn't feel veryLook surprised."

When she asked this question, she felt very nervous.Just like when she asked Shen Wangyan what the Shen family's divine gift was, the other party also hesitated.It can be seen that such a problem is likely to be related to the interests of the family, and perhaps even personal privacy.If Xie Huai hadn't opened her mouth to cross this line first, maybe she wouldn't be rude enough to ask such a question.

It's just that the other party doesn't seem to think so at all.

"I thought you were going to ask something, this is not a secret, there is nothing you can't say, you don't have to be so cautious," Dr. Xie thought for a while, and then seriously replied, "But I really know very little about the matter of the gift of heaven, and not only I can’t answer you, the younger generation in our family is probably in the same situation as me. We are thankful for Ding Xingwang. Since before the founding of the People’s Republic, the older generation has followed Chairman Mao from scratch, counting for three generations.In politics. So compared to something invisible and intangible like 'gift from heaven', what the family pursues is more real."

Bao Le was thoughtful, and couldn't help admiring: "So, you, you are the third generation of officials!"

"No, I'm different from them, I'm not interested in being an official and politics," Xie Huai smiled, "But I have to admit one thing, in the past one or two years, I have indeed seenMy self in another world, he told me some things. That's why I wasn't surprised when I saw you. Originally, he also said that the Shen family can communicate with yin and yang, which would be helpful for the Niannian case, but he didn't expect that...But I am very grateful to him for being able to send you here."

"Boss Xie's words are true. I witnessed it with my own eyes. If Shen Wangyan was here, if something happened, he would drag the deceased from the road of reincarnation. Then ask her, 'Do you know who the murderer is?Who?" If the other party really answered "the murderer is blah blah blah blah blah blah", then the author of this volume must not be able to write 200,000 words."

Xie Huai was inevitably amused by Bao Le's seriousness.

The little girl continued: "I ask you this question because when I was waiting for a red light at a crossroad today, I remembered something. Before I came to your world, there was a child crossing the road.I was about to be hit by a car, but time suddenly stood still for a minute. A minute later, I saw the kid appear across the street. Later I asked Boss Xie, and he admitted that he did it."

Xie Huai frowned, and asked back, "Time stands still?"

"Although I don't know much about it, I speculate that the ancient survivors all have a unique gift from heaven, and according to this gift, they also have some explicit abilities. Like the Shen family, the most primitive power of heaven should be the same asRegarding ghosts, you can see them and talk to them. The Shen family has more explicit abilities, such as... Cough, this is a family secret, you can figure it out yourself."

"Before, I had contact with another ancient survivor. His gift was to perceive all things, and the ability he displayed was a powerful manipulation technique, so he had batches of butterflies, mice, and water monkeys under his command.And an army of zombies."

"Next is your Xie family. Your Xie family is able to create an independent space. You call it the mirror flower and the water moon. This space connects many parallel worlds. People from different worlds can live in this space.When we meet, we can even go to other worlds from this space. Generally speaking, if this is a sci-fi movie, the ability your family possesses can be regarded as space-based. As for the static time, I guess it is because time-space is also a kind of space., so it is reasonable to imagine that the control of time may be one of the explicit abilities bestowed by your Xie family."

Xie Huai sighed: "If you write novels, you will definitely become popular."

"That's right, that's what Jiang Ning said too," the little girl came back to her senses, and realized that it wasn't a compliment, and instantly exploded like a kitten, "Why is it writing novels?OK!"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Dr. Xie said kindly.

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with sincerity, Bao Le didn't intend to argue with him.After laying the groundwork for a long time, I finally got to the point. The little girl tentatively said: "So can you do me a favor and ask Boss Xie if you have heard about our family? I thought my parents were still alive in this world., someone asked, but they didn’t know anything. Boss Xie looks like a villain. If I asked him, he would definitely not tell me in vain. You are different, you two are essentially one person, heI will definitely give you this face!"

Xie Huai suddenly thought of the previous phone call, and the dejected little girl on the other end of the phone.Of course he knew that this was her knot in her heart, and he also knew that the reason why she wanted to figure it out had something to do with the surname Shen.

It's just that for Jiang Baole's life, taking the branch line in Bei Jing and meeting Xie's family is not a happy ending, but at least the journey was smooth and happy.So if you take the line from Nan Jing and meet the Shen family, will you be able to lead to HE?Now it seems that no matter what the ending is, the process will always be more bumpy than the road next door.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Bao Le thought that he was asking too much: "This matter is not urgent. Finding the murderer must be the main task now. And I assure you, even if I really know something, I will definitelyHelp you find the murderer first! Don't be angry!"

"I'm not angry," Xie Huai sighed. "I didn't speak because I didn't know how to answer. As you can see, I didn't grasp the family's gift. The reason I could see him was because he had and he wanted to see him."Me. There has always been a one-way connection between us. I don’t know when he will appear next time. But I can promise you that if I can see him again, I can ask for you.”

The little girl's eyes lit up because of his words: "Really!"

Xie Huai hummed lightly.

"I'm fine," Bao Le happily waved to Xie Huai, "Then I'm going to sleep?"

Xie Huai leaned back on the armrest, and quietly looked at the little girl who had already moved to the balcony door. The light from the living room passed through the half-open door, making them bright and dark.She was in the light, while he was in the dark. Thanks to the light effect, he didn't have to worry about being seen by her and avert his gaze.

"Good night, sweet dreams." He watched her enter the house.

But when he looked back and was about to stay alone for a while, the balcony door was pulled open again.Under the puzzled gaze of the other party, the little girl ran back again.

"I'll come back to get this, and remind you by the way, don't stay too busy," Bao Le picked up the milk cup on the balcony railing, and said with a smile, "Xie Huai, good night, see you tomorrow."

...

Holding the milk cup in his hand, Bao Le tiptoed back to the second floor.

Just when she thought her footsteps were quiet enough to not disturb the gentleman who was resting in the master bedroom next door, she saw at the end of the corridor, the light in the master bedroom was on and the door was open.There was no expression on Jun Zhi's face, he leaned against the door with arms folded, as if he was waiting for someone.

In the middle of the night, one or two didn't sleep at all. Xie Huai was working, so it was understandable.Could it be that Jun Zhi suffers from insomnia just like himself?He also suffers from insomnia?It seems that something is weird.

The little girl walked over, and as she approached, the person who was leaning against the door suddenly stood up straight, and was really waiting for her.

"You are so late at night, why don't you sleep?" As the saying goes, the first move is the first to win.Although she herself was wandering around in the middle of the night, she criticized Jun Zhi first even if she was unreasonable.

It's just that this trick is only effective for ordinary people, and it will only have a negative effect on someone like Jun Zhi who has been too lazy to change his expression for thousands of years and can't say a word.Although he is looking at her now, it is the same as when he was not looking at her just now. If you don't know him well, you may even think that his expression means "get lost".But anyway, after knowing him for so long, she still knows him a little bit.For Junzhi, you can't be fooled by his indifferent appearance. If you want to know what he is thinking, you have to look into his eyes.

But she can't see his inner thoughts every time, like now.She knew that he was looking at her all the time, but this gaze was different from before, and even made her think that he was quite "affectionate", but the word "affectionate" obviously didn't fit his personality!

So what the hell is he doing?

Bao Le researched for a long time but didn't come to a conclusion. It was really too tiring to think about it in the middle of the night, and it made her sleepy.The little girl yawned, said good night, raised her legs and walked towards her room.

Jun Zhi let go of his arms around his chest, wrapped one arm around her waist, and easily brought her into his arms.

Bao Le, who ran away from Drowsy Bugs in an instant, tilted his head sideways and looked at the culprit.But it's all like this, this person is still as expressionless as before, but looks at her, it seems to be a little more than before... don't know.

No matter what happened in the middle of the night, Bao Le stopped himself from thinking wildly in time, and got out of his arms.

Jun Zhi didn't make it difficult for her, he stretched out his hand to her, palm up, as if asking her for something.The little girl looked at herself, then at him, and then put the milk glass in his hand in a daze.She seemed to be the only thing she could give him.I don't know if I guessed what he meant correctly, Junzhi took a deep look at her, then walked back to the bedroom and closed the door by the way.

From the time he appeared until he disappeared, this man really did not say a word.

The little girl who was shut outside the door was stunned for a long time before she waved her hand like a fly, turned her head and ran back to the room.After closing the door, the little girl leaned against the door angrily, and couldn't figure out what medicine Jun Zhi had taken wrongly: "You must be sick, if you want to drink milk, you won't pour it yourself! Why hug me! Ahhh, I'm so excited!"

As she was talking, she suddenly remembered that the other party's hearing was superb, and they were so close, so he couldn't hear everything she said clearly.

Lie back on the bed covering her mouth, just as she touched the pillow, Drowsy Bugs ran back again.With a muddy head, the little girl tried hard to recall the conversation she had with Xie Huai before, if she had known earlier, she would not have asked him to help with the conversation.I don't know if Jun Zhi heard this, maybe she misunderstood that she wanted to give up and give thanks...

But she seemed to have said something else before, what did she say?

Jun Zhi took a sip of the milk in the glass, and as his Adam's apple moved up and down, he heard the person in the next room breathing gradually longer, probably falling asleep.He put down the cup in his hand, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"It's me," he walked to the window, glanced at the light rain outside the house, and quietly listened to the latest information shared on the other end of the phone, "Jiang Ning, that has nothing to do with them, the owner of Feng Yin is a descendant of Bai Zhi.”
