Xia Qi bit her lip and remembered what Ye Nanqing said in her ear at that time.

——"I——actually am an illegitimate child."

That’s—Ye Nanqing’s secret!

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Because he said something to me, but it surprised me, so I forgot to push him away."

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's just it."

"Then what exactly is he talking about?" he pressed.

She shook her head, "I can't say." Because this related to Ye Nanqing's secrets, she was not qualified to say it.

Jun Jinyan's expression changed, and he pushed Xia Qi to the corner suddenly, "Can't you say it? Why don't you just make it up? Why must you not say it? What is there that I can't know?!"

Her back hit the wall, which hurt a little. But what hurt her more was his expression at this moment, which was ferocious and painful, like a drowning person struggling desperately to catch something.

"Because I don't want to lie to you anymore, I can't just make it up." Xia Qi replied seriously.

He stared at her blankly, her face reflected in those empty eyes.

She took a deep breath, raised her hands and put them against his cheeks, "As for what Ye Nanqing told me, it's just his private matter and has nothing to do with me."

His lips were pursed tightly, and her face, her eyes, her voice, and every move she made were the strongest temptations for him, making him unable to help but want to believe,

I couldn't help but feel attached to it, "How do you expect me to believe what you say?"

Xia Qi bit her lip. How can she prove the truth? Should she bring Ye Nanqing over to prove that she is telling the truth, or should she use a polygraph machine to prove it?!

Her hesitation caused his face to darken, and his lips suddenly pressed against hers, biting her lips punitively with his teeth.

She exclaimed in pain, but heard him say hoarsely, "Qiqi, I'm in pain!"

It hurts?! She should be the one in pain now!

His breath sprayed on her face, and his voice gradually became choked, "Do you know, when I watched you running out and blocking in front of him, it hurt me so much!" It was like an accusation.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xia Qi didn't know what to say, so she could only hug Jun Jinyan's waist and keep repeating I'm sorry.

She kept apologizing, just like when she was a child, she accidentally threw him in the ruins, and when the adults found him, he almost lost half of his life. At that time, she was also like this, holding him and constantly

Say sorry.

"Do you think it's enough to just say I'm sorry?!" He buried his head on her shoulder and growled lowly, "Qiqi, I'm not a child anymore, and you can't do anything just to say I'm sorry.

of!"

————

Not a kid anymore!

His words reminded Xia Qi of hide and seek when she was a child. At that time, she was only in the first grade of elementary school, and she was like a wild horse running wild. She would play with her classmates after school.

Jun Jinyan, on the other hand, always followed her and rarely spoke, but he would always do whatever she did.

During the hide-and-seek game, Xia Qi acted as a ghost. All the children quickly found a hidden hiding place, except Jun Jinyan, who still stood beside her and refused to hide.

So she became anxious and said, "Hurry up and hide, otherwise it won't be fun."

"Hide and you won't be able to find the place." He shook his head.

"No, I will definitely be able to find you!" she said with certainty. Hide-and-seek has always been her strong point.

"real?"

"Otherwise we'll pull the hook!"

She took the initiative to use her little finger to lift his little finger.

Hang yourself with a hook!

He then moved his steps, but his little face was still full of reluctance.

"Qiqi, you must find me." He still said worriedly.

She waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up and hide, or I won't look for you!"

His somewhat hollow eyes flashed with panic because of her words, and he almost staggered. As he ran, his figure quickly disappeared from her sight.

She counted a hundred, and then started to find the others one by one, but...in the end, she forgot to look for Jun Jinyan.

It wasn't until the evening when people from the Jun family came to the door that Xia Qi knew that she had gotten into trouble! Jun Jinyan didn't go home, and the people from the Jun family always thought that Jun Jinyan was playing with Xia Qi at Xia's house.

At this time, five full hours had passed since Xia Qi finally asked Jun Jinyan to hide.

Xia's mother was so anxious and angry that she almost threw the broom handle at Xia Qi's doggy legs. Fortunately, Jun Jinyan's father, Jun Haizhou, blocked her in time, and Xia Qi's doggy legs were spared a beating.

"The child is still young, so it is important to find Jinyan first," said Jun Haizhou. Having been immersed in officialdom for many years, he has a demeanor that makes people obey him unconsciously.

Xia's mother nodded immediately, and everyone went to search for the ruins where Xia Qi and Jun Jinyan were hiding and seeking.

After all, the Jun family has a deep foundation. When Jun Jinyan disappeared, the police station was also in a hurry. The police chief immediately dispatched many police officers to help search for him.

In the ruins at night, the lights are bright, and nearly a hundred people are looking for a child.

When Jun Jinyan was finally found, he was huddled in a corner of the ruins. He was already a little dehydrated and almost in a semi-conscious state.

But when an adult wanted to take him away, he refused, and used all his strength to scratch and bite the adult. In the end, Xia Qi was brought over by Jun Haizhou, and Jun Jinyan's hysteria made him declare

Finish.

After seeing Xia Qi, Jun Jinyan fainted.

Afterwards, Jun Jinyan was sent to the hospital, while Xia Qi was made to kneel on the washboard by Xia's mother.

"Do you know that you almost killed Xiaoyan! How could you leave him there alone?!" Xia's mother lectured Xia Qi for a long time.

To this end, Xia Qi also wrote a letter of guarantee, which contained more than a hundred words plus pinyin. For a first-year primary school student, it was almost a masterpiece.

The next day, when Xia's mother took Xia Qi to the hospital to see Jun Jinyan, the first thing Jun Jinyan said when he saw her was - "Qiqi, I've been waiting for you to come to me for a long time.

, next time, please don't make me wait for so long, okay!" Because that would make him panic and scared, and he was deeply afraid that she would not be able to find him.

At that moment, Xia Qi felt extremely guilty. Her dissatisfaction with being punished by her mother to kneel down and write a letter of guarantee last night disappeared.
