Chapter 34 Sleepwalking
The pink and purple sunset spread at the end of the sky, Chen Xingsa drove home facing Caihui, opened the door, and unexpectedly did not see Xu Qinggui.

Every day, the nanny would prepare meals in advance according to the commuting time of the two of them and then leave. She went to the kitchen and saw that there were warm meals and hot dishes in the pot, so she ate them on the dining table by herself.

Halfway through eating, Xu Qinggui pushed the door open and entered.

There was tiredness on his brows, and when he saw her smile, his tiredness became much less: "You're back already?"

The tone was familiar, as if they had lived together for a long time, Chen Xingsa paused slightly, without changing his face: "Yes."

Xu Qinggui loosened his tie, unbuttoned two buttons, and let out a few breaths: "I'm suffocating."

Chen Xingsa took a look. Every time she saw him before, his buttons were always buttoned on the top, and he had never been unbuttoned.

Can people really change so much?Even the living habits are different.

She stirred the porridge with a spoon, doubts appearing on her face.

Or, in fact, he is so lazy in private, he cares about his face outside, so he wants to keep his elite image.

"Sa Sa, what are you thinking?"

She came back to her senses: "Nothing."

It seemed that he was just asking casually, without expecting an answer from her. He served the meal himself, sat opposite her and ate.

She said to herself, "Auntie's cooking today is a bit salty, isn't it?"

Chen Xingsa reviewed today's events, Hua Chao is not a big problem, it's just Ren Qingyi, Ren Qingyi...

Fascinated by thinking, I don't know what to eat, and I seem to be very absent-minded.

Xu Qinggui looked at her: "Sa Sa, is there something on your mind?"

She raised her eyes, and just about to open her mouth, she was stopped by him: "Don't rush to deny it, you can try to talk to me, if there is trouble, I will help you find a solution, two heads are more useful than one? "

She hesitated a little, and said, "I'm thinking about Xiao Yi."

Xu Qinggui raised his eyelids to look at her while picking up vegetables, and listened attentively, "Say it."

"...she was picked up from the mental hospital by Qiao Yi." She paused, and said briefly: "She didn't live well in the Ren family. The mother and daughter of the Ren family often bullied her, and they sent her to went in there."

Xu Qinggui answered: "Then the Ren family said she was missing."

"Ah."

Xu Qinggui understood: "Is the scandal that Yu Ji said that day also related to this?"

Chen Xingsa nodded.

"You are afraid that something will happen one day and it will be a threat to Qiao Yi."

Chen Xingsa glanced at him, and he guessed the problem in just a few words, "So, what can you do?"

Xu Qinggui laughed suddenly, and said slowly: "Sasha, I think you are concerned about it and you are confused, or you are thinking too complicated."

"The solution to this matter is actually already in the information we already have."

Chen Xingsa was still hesitating whether to be more specific, and felt that this was Ren Qingyi's private matter. Hearing him say this suddenly, he raised his head subconsciously: "What method?"

"What did the Ren family say?"

"Say she's missing."

"Since she's missing, let's send her back." He took the time to say, "Not only do we have to send her, but we also have to send her with great fanfare, everyone knows."

Chen Xingsa was stunned for a moment, and after he figured it out, he suddenly beamed with joy: "You mean, since the Ren family announced Xiaoyi's disappearance, if we send her back in person, even if they know there is something tricky, they can only be grateful to Dade. Thank you so much for helping us find Xiaoyi."

"Yes!" He raised his eyebrows: "Sa Sa is so smart, you can get it right."

Chen Xingsa didn't accept his compliment, but frowned again: "Then if they send it back, what if they hurt Xiaoyi again? We can't let her really go back." Instead, he sent her back and picked her up blatantly.

"That's another story to tell."

Make up a story that the Ren family knew was false, but they had to grit their teeth and admit it.

She lowered her eyes and thought, and Xu Qinggui put the food in her bowl: "Now the biggest problem of this matter has been solved, you should eat well first, and then think about the next thing."

Chen Xingsa stuffed something into his mouth unconsciously, and he didn't notice that it was him who caught it. His brain was running fast, and his frowning brows suddenly relaxed at a certain moment, and his eyes lit up.

She thought about it.

Then she stopped her hands, "Just send Xiao Yi back, not in Qiao Yi's name."

Otherwise, when the time comes to ask questions, it will be entangled again, and the two of them must be put aside.

After thinking about it, she suddenly raised her head again, and looked at the person sitting opposite her, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her long and narrow eyes were tempered very movingly by the bright light.

Xu Qinggui's hand holding the rice froze, and before she could speak, she flatly refused: "I can't, my reputation will be affected!"

Chen Xingsa said speechlessly: "What kind of reputation do you have, and I don't intend to use yours."

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then whose?"

She hooked her lips: "Mine."

In the middle of the night, Chen Xingsa woke up thirsty, his throat felt as if it was going to catch fire.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and the room was pitch black. She reached out and groped for the bedside lamp, turned it on, and climbed out of bed with half-closed eyes.

I turned on the flashlight with my mobile phone, went downstairs in my slippers, and drank a large glass of water, which made me feel much more comfortable.

Today's dinner seems a little salty.

Fearing that she would be thirsty again later, she took a glass of water up, and halfway there, she heard movement above.

She paused slightly, held up her mobile phone to scan up, and saw the door of the room next to her slowly open from the inside, and Xu Qinggui walked out slowly in her pajamas.

It is estimated that he was awakened by thirst.

There was a dim light behind him, and he stood there without moving for a moment.

Chen Xingsa thought that the light from the mobile phone had stabbed him, so he shone the light on the ground and walked up step by step. Seeing that he was still standing stupidly, he muttered, "Why don't you even turn on the light."

Chen Xingsa thought the light in the hall was too bright, so she didn't turn it on. She was about to go around and turn on the switch, but Xu Qinggui suddenly moved.

Instead of going in the direction of the stairs, go to the right.

She was taken aback: "That's my room."

Xu Qinggui passed by the door of her room, and stopped after walking a meter.

Facing the wall, he touched something with his hand, and touched the wall from time to time, but he didn't catch anything.

Chen Xingsa finally realized that something was wrong, walked up to him, and raised his phone to take a picture of his face.

Xu Qinggui closed his eyes, and there was still a little doubt between his brows.

Chen Xingsa was stunned. Is he sleepwalking? ?
She saw him groping around, but couldn't find the point of strength, and the frown became deeper and deeper, and she kindly put the water glass in his hand into the palm of his hand.

He stopped for a moment, held it with his hand, let go of his frowning brows, put it to his lips and started to drink.

After drinking, he seemed to want to put the water glass back. Chen Xingsa was afraid of falling to the ground, so he quickly reached out to take it, and he let go without a pause.

Then he turned around and walked towards his room step by step.

Chen Xingsa followed behind him, not daring to make another sound.

I heard that people who sleepwalk, if they are awakened halfway, they may be frightened.

Xu Qinggui pushed open the door, there was a faint yellow warm light in the room, he lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over, and fell asleep.

His brows and eyes are calm, and the warm light falls on his side face, half-bright and half-ambiguous, it is his face as clear as jade, like a sleeping beauty waiting to be picked by others.

Chen Xingsa stared at him for a while, then turned to look at the light that was on, reached out to help him turn it off, and quietly left the room.
