People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

"Well, my sister can be scary when she's angry."

"Really, although I haven't seen it yet, it's better not to see it."

After finishing speaking, there was another moment of silence, and Barbara took the initiative to speak:

"By the way, have you been to Keli's room?"

"I have, but it was a while ago."

"I just said, why is it so strange..."

Barbara patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief:

"When I sent Keli up, I found that the door was unlocked, and I started to feel something was wrong. Later, when I went downstairs, I wondered why the phonograph didn't sound, and whether someone had entered. The more I thought about it, the more I was worried..."

She smiled shyly and explained, "So when I saw Mr. Gu coming in just now, I thought Keli was missing again, and I scared myself for a long time. I'm really sorry..."

"It's only now that I understand that you have been there once. Speaking of which, didn't you just come running upstairs? How could you be better than me..."

When she said this, she froze for a moment, looked at the figure sitting opposite with a bandage on her arm, suddenly stopped speaking, and said in a whisper:

"...Earlier than me."

"Did you just find out?"

Gu Bai felt that his spirit was better, so he couldn't help but smile:

"I remember I said it when I first came in. I saw the rope from the outside, and then I went to find someone. Of course, I went back to the room to see it."

He tries to liven things up a bit:

"Actually, I didn't just go in, I also climbed down from the window, but I happened to be met by a little girl from the Yunhan Society, and I was so scared."

This is one of the few fun things to do tonight.

"You think, just poked your head out to get some air, and saw a person lying on the ground under your nose. Otherwise, I would definitely have drawn my sword and slashed past him."

Barbara smiled when she heard the words, but it was more reluctant than before. She shifted her gaze to Gu Bai's arm, "Your hand..."

"The medicine has already been applied." Gu Bai shook his arm, "It's just a very slight burn."

"Let me help you treat it, it will be fine soon."

"Well, thank you very much." He didn't refuse, and took off the bandage as he spoke, seeming a bit nagging, "I forgot to ask, did you talk to my sister?"

"Well, as you said, my sister is very happy after seeing me..."

"That's good." I don't know how many times I repeated this sentence tonight.

Then he felt a coolness on his skin, the original tingling pain disappeared, and even his fatigue weakened a little.

Barbara raised her head and said seriously, "If you are injured in the future, if there is anything I can help, please come to me directly."

"Then let me tell you something in advance." He put down his sleeves, fastened the buttons, and noticed the change in Barbara's mood before and after.

I thought it was because the communication between her and Qin wasn't going well, but I asked a question just now and found out it wasn't.

He thought about it, and felt that he probably guessed the reason:

"It's impossible, I mean Qin."

Not surprisingly, it should be that Barbara and Qin were interrupted by Keli's affairs halfway through the conversation, and then Qin became busy again. For Barbara, it was finally a chance to open up with her sister , just lost half of it.

Think about it differently, loss is inevitable.

"She must also want to spend more time with you, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Gu Bai comforted:

"It's better to be open, as we said before, as long as you explain the benefits to her, it will get better little by little."

"And this is considered the best result. It's better to go out to see someone off than go out to find someone in the middle of the night."

"Overall, I think everything is fine. The most important thing is that Keli was found safe and sound, isn't she?"

He said with a long breath:

"Thanks to Diluc, otherwise who knows what could have gone wrong."

"Then...why didn't you inform my sister first?" Barbara's voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

"Ok?"

Gu Bai looked at her.

"I mean, besides Monsieur Diluque, thank you, whatever the outcome."

Barbara clenched her fists, and said what she had been holding back in her heart since just now, "I know, you must not want to worry my sister, and you want to leave us more time alone, so you went alone outside."

When she said this, her voice became softer, as if she was feeling wronged for herself:

"You're talking about this... well, it's because you don't want to make things big, but you don't have to feel burdened, you can go find someone if you lose it, let alone a little guy who hits it off with me, It's normal."

"As I said just now, the process is not important. It doesn't matter who made the contribution, as long as Keli can be found."

"I know..." Barbara lowered her head, and wanted to say that if this matter were placed on other people, she would look at it with such thoughts, but when the object became Gu Bai, she always felt something Pressed in the heart.

This may be related to the relationship between him and his sister, or it may be related to the conversation between his sister and Mr. Diluc just now.

"It's okay, it's just a few more trips, but I still say that, it's better to waste effort than to find someone everywhere." Gu Bai said slowly again, and then he didn't plan to continue this topic, he paused After a pause:

"By the way, what are you going to do next? Are you waiting for Qin to come back?"

"Well, I plan to go back with my sister later, you..."

"I'm going to wait for Qin to come back, and I'll go back after seeing each other."

"But didn't you say before..." When Barbara remembered what she said, she remembered Mr. Gu's attitude towards her sister, and she always had a feeling of wanting to avoid a formal meeting.

"If I have to explain, I avoided it if I could before, but this time it has already come. When Qin comes back, if she asks what happened when she left, will you tell her?"

Seeing Barbara nodded, he continued:

"Since she knows that I'm here because of Keli, even if I leave now, your sister will come to see me tomorrow, so it's better to meet here. Oh, there is another way, that is, when she When asking about you, don't mention that I was here."

As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead:

"But if you do that, in order to avoid revealing your secrets, you will have to make a lot of confessions to teach you how to hide it from Qin...It's too deliberate and hypocritical."

"And this is different from what happened before, and there is nothing to hide... let's not talk about this, here we come."

Gu Bai turned his head, and amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, Qin's apologetic voice came from outside:

"I'm back, things have been dealt with..."

These words were obviously addressed to Barbara.Even though she was told to go back first, and even though Barbara nodded in agreement, her intuition told her that her sister must still be waiting for her in the room.

Barbara responded hastily, her footsteps getting closer and closer, accompanied by Qin's slowed down voice, with a soft meaning mixed with helplessness:

"I knew you didn't leave, go back to sleep with me first, you've been up all night, it's my sister's fault, but Senior Di Luke..."

She explained softly, "He sent Keli back. Regardless of whether I have the information or not, I should send it. It's not easy for him to go back by himself..."

"I know, sister—" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Barbara loudly, as if she was deliberately reminding her of something.

At this time, the door of the room had been pushed open, "What's the matter..." Qin asked puzzled, before she finished speaking, she saw the familiar figure in her sight.

This made her subconsciously stop and froze in place.

Barbara opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she just moved to the side and looked into her sister's face.

It's easy to catch a touch of surprise and complexity, but before she can see clearly, Qin turns around and closes the door, leaving only a back view.

So she looked at Gu Bai again, but the other party's reaction was much calmer. He raised his hand and greeted casually, "Come to visit suddenly, good evening."

After speaking, he looked at the sky outside the window, "Well, I don't know if it's appropriate to say this now, but I can say good morning after a while."

Qin turned around, just smiled lightly:

"It should be ok, good evening, haven't you gone to rest yet?"

When I looked at her face again, the strangeness just now had disappeared, leaving only the polite smile on her lips, as if seeing an old friend whom I had known for many years.

When Songs Sound: Chapter 220 Complexity and Purity

"Good evening, haven't you rested yet?"

Qin also greeted.

"I want to sleep, but I haven't been able to find the time." He shrugged, "Don't you too."

"I'm better, I was lying on the table for a while." She didn't sit down immediately, but walked around the sofa, just like Barbara did at that time, and walked to the cabinet with the teacups. No need to stand on tiptoe, "In contrast, you and Barbara didn't sleep a wink all night, it's hard work."

While opening the cabinet, Qin turned her head and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make you a cup of coffee..." She frowned halfway through her words, looked into the cabinet, and sighed, "I'm sorry, I just found the cup. It's already used up, if you don't mind, I'll go get another one?"

Seeing this, Gu Bai looked at Barbara, "Why don't you say it?"

Qin followed suit, "Huh?"

At this moment, Barbara finally interrupted, "I've already looked for my sister, I just wanted to pour a glass of water for Mr. Gu, but he said..."

"I'm not thirsty, don't bother me." Gu Bai yawned, and then continued, "I'm not being polite, actually I don't drink a cup, I drink coffee at this time..."

Speaking of which, he shook his head, "I still want to have a good sleep later, I will suffer from insomnia."

"By the way, what time is it? I forgot to look at the watch." He said to himself, he took out the pocket watch from his pocket, lifted the cover of the watch with one hand, and glanced at it, "Oh, it's earlier than expected." Some."

Then Gu Bai leaned on the sofa, and said casually, "There are less than four hours before the shift change, now hurry up and go back and sleep for a while."

This sentence seems to have no beginning and no end, but the direction is not vague.

At least Barbara thought she understood what it meant.

If I understand correctly, this is another faint reminder to my sister to go home and rest.

Although it was a statement about time, a little attention would reveal that there was only one person in the entire room who needed to plan his work and rest according to the shifting time of the knight order.

As for whether her sister understands, she doesn't know, but seeing that Qin no longer insisted, hugged her chest, and echoed thoughtfully, "It's really getting late."

"Well, so let's get down to business first."

In fact, the so-called business is nothing, but to explain his purpose, Gu Bai pointed upstairs:

"When I came back just now, I found that Keli was gone. I was about to come to you, and then I ran into Miss Barbara, so I realized it was a false alarm."

This sentence fell into Barbara's ears, and she couldn't help thinking about it again.

On the surface it sounded like a simple chat, and the two looked normal, like friends who were not far or close, but since it was said on the surface, it meant that it was not the case.

Some places are intentionally blurred, such as the time before and after the whole incident;

The tortuous process, which was originally called a tortuous process, was lightly carried over by one sentence, and everything that happened in the middle was omitted;

If people who didn't know heard it, they probably thought that he had just found out that Keli was missing with his front foot, and then touched him with his back foot, instead of having been looking outside for a long time.

For example, when it comes to addressing herself, instead of calling her name directly, Miss Barbara seems to be unfamiliar. How can she link the reason for coming here with Mr. Gu.

She wanted to explain something for Gu Bai, but remembering what she said before, she finally lowered her head and said nothing.

And the same goes for my sister.

There is a small detail that maybe only I know, and even my sister has never noticed it. As the acting team leader, she often acts differently under different circumstances;

When my sister drinks water, she has a habit of holding the cup in the palm of her hand with both hands, drinking in small sips while listening to people talking, blinking her eyes from time to time, like a little girl.

But this is a side that is not easy to see. It is better to say that it has something to do with the people she faces. In my memory, apart from myself, it only happens when I have afternoon tea with Sister Lisa. It is more like a behavior that will be revealed inadvertently. .

Naturally, it looks different in front of outsiders—for example, in the conversation with Mr. Diluc not long ago, when the elder sister held the cup in one hand and the saucer in the other, it came from the etiquette taught by the family since childhood.

The relationship shown by the two seems simple, but it is hidden and complicated inside, intertwined like threads, but what is finally presented on the surface is still pure.

Whether it is simple or complicated, she does not understand.

As for now...

"It's because I didn't do well." Qin was about to bring the cup to her face, she took a sip, and paused when she heard Gu Bai's intention.

The hand holding the cup stopped in the air, and her expression blamed herself, "Since I sent the child to the room, I have been busy with other things, I should have spared time to look more... It is too late to talk now , luckily nothing happened."

"Yeah." Gu Bai just nodded, didn't say anything more about this sentence, and continued:

"You will know what happened later. I just sat down and chatted a few words, and saw you coming back from outside."
