[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

Yin Ke waved his hands, pretending to be chic and walked to the other end of the casino, and was soon overwhelmed by the figures of other gamblers.

Yinque put away the gun calmly, frowned and looked at it for a long time, then said in a low voice: "Do you think he knew I was here, or...?"

"...Maybe someone has been staring at the young master."

"Yes, I think so too. But..." Yinque sneered: "The son of the Yin family wants to marry me, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see how much he weighs."

More than a hundred years ago, the empire still followed the hereditary system of titles. There were so many nobles, large and small, in the land, and the nobility of blood was above everything else.Although the system has been abolished, people's thinking has not changed much - like Cheng Jia, who have been well-known and wealthy businessmen for generations, look down on the Yin family's businessmen who have only started to make a fortune in the past ten years.

Yin Ke's appearance ruined Yinque's chatting mood, he changed the gaming table, and began to play blackjack with strangers wordlessly.

His appearance also made Qianqiu unable to relax his vigilance as before. He stood beside Yinque, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he always paid attention to the movements of other gamblers.Yin Ke knew that Young Master Cheng was here, which meant that his whereabouts had already been noticed by others.

And who are those people and what those people want to do, no one is sure.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong until Yinque left the casino and returned to the car.

The first night in Wilta was uneventful. They lived in a small hotel away from the city center. The driver and Qianqiu took turns guarding Yinque's door to ensure his safety.

But Qianqiu went out first, and returned soon.

Yinque's room is in the deepest part of the corridor, next to the glass window; when Qianqiu came back, the driver was leaning against the glass window to smoke, the moonlight shone on his face, and he still felt a little bit of vicissitudes.

"No one followed?" The driver saw him coming and asked subconsciously, "Why did you go?"

Qianqiu took out a transparent plastic bag from his jacket pocket, and quietly packed two tubes of inhibitors inside.

"Hey, are you going to buy this, did you forget to take it with you when you were going out?"

"...I brought it, but it was broken." Qianqiu said, "Go and rest, and come back in the middle of the night."

"Finish this one." The driver shook the half of the cigarette in his hand, "I've stayed in the capital for a long time, and looking at a place like Wilta, it's really poor..."

"Aren't you from the royal capital?"

"I was born in the north, and I was just earning some money in the capital, so I drove under the young master's hand by accident." The driver suddenly laughed as if remembering something, with fine wrinkles appearing in the corners of his eyes, "My wife and children are all here." North, when the time is right, I will resign and go back to accompany them."

"So you have a child."

"Didn't expect it." The driver was proud, "The most beautiful Omega in our town married me and gave birth to a daughter for me.... Ah, but it's definitely not as beautiful as the young master."

"You are very lucky."

"It's okay, it's okay, you're lucky. Qianqiu, with your conditions, and now that you are the young master's attendant, there will definitely be Omega who wants to marry you."

Qianqiu smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't thought about that for the time being."

——No, there are.

—Maybe thought about it once or twice, each time only for a moment.And the target is a high-ranking person.

"It's okay to find Beta. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have children. It's sweet for two people to support each other." The driver extinguished his cigarette on the window sill, and the cigarette butt was thrown out of the window. you call me."

"Ok."

Said it was the middle of the night, but Qianqiu stayed on watch until after four o'clock; he saw that the driver was sleeping soundly, so he didn't have the nerve to call him.

It was the other party who woke up in a dream, so he hurriedly communicated with him, urging him to go to sleep quickly.

But what they didn't expect was that the silver sparrow woke up just as the sky was turning white.The driver stood at the door drowsy and could only rely on cigarettes to refresh himself. Suddenly he heard "Qianqiu" coming from the room.

He knocked on the door: "Master, Qianqiu is still asleep, should I call him now?"

There was no immediate answer from the door, but silence for a while.Just as the driver was about to wake up first, the old wooden door opened with a creaking sound.Yinque rubbed his left eye, only wearing a windbreaker on his body, and said: "Go get a basin of water; get ready, go to the factory to see."

"Eh? What about Qianqiu?"

"When did he come off?"

"After four o'clock..." The driver said nervously, "It's my fault, I accidentally... fell asleep."

Yinque let out a deep breath, obviously he didn't sleep well that night.He turned and went into the house to get cigarettes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Go fetch water, don't call him."

-

A small garden full of irises.black cage.Fountain of the Goddess.Blood.

The man moved uneasily on the narrow bed, followed by creaking noises.He opened his eyes, and the white light outside the window poured into his field of vision. After a brief moment of blankness in his mind, the picture in his dream suddenly disappeared, and he could no longer remember any details.

The man's throat was so dry that he swallowed saliva unconsciously, but it didn't help much.

Suddenly, he jumped up from the bed and hurriedly looked at the yellowed wall.The hands of the wall clock pointed to ten o'clock, and he actually fell asleep until this time in one breath - Yinque's habit is very stable, he must wake up at nine o'clock in the morning, and he has never been late for the morning meeting.

He hurriedly stepped into his shoes, grabbed his clothes and walked out while putting them on.There was no sign of the driver outside the door. He knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

Silver Sparrow is no longer in the hotel.

where did they goWhen did you leave?Why didn't you call him?

A series of questions circled back and forth in Qianqiu's mind, and an unprecedented sense of anxiety surged through his limbs—like a dog abandoned by its owner.The man didn't notice that his breathing was disordered, he quickly tidied up his clothes, and hurried to the stairwell.

As soon as he turned the corner, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

Yinque came up with a cup of iced tea, sipping it.

Qian Qiu's hands rested on the wooden armrest, and he bent his knuckles unconsciously as if trying to dig into the wood: "Master..."

"Oh? You're awake, it's still early." Yinque walked towards him, with the corners of his mouth curled up, looking in a good mood, "That's just right..."

He turned to look at the driver and said, "Is there anything for Wilta to eat?"

“There are a few good restaurants marked on the map…”

Yinque turned around and went downstairs again: "Then go eat....Qianqiu, fasten your buttons again."

"..." The man lowered his head, only to realize that the buttons on the hem of his clothes were in the wrong place, and the clothes were crooked and ugly.

He unconsciously held the breath in his chest, and then slowly let it out with a relaxed breath.The anxiety from half a minute ago disappeared without a trace when he saw Yinque - he was not lost, and his master returned.

The germination of emotion is like a grass that breaks out of the ground. It never grows in a certain moment, but it is always discovered in a certain moment.

This is the man's moment.

He is infatuated with the beauty of the silver sparrow.

-

That night.

The inauguration ceremony of the Marquis of Shell was held in the central square in the afternoon, but it was for the common people; the real highlight was the private dinner in the evening. When Yinque and the others arrived at the Marquis's mansion, many cars had already parked outside.

Many people have the same idea as Cheng Jia, taking advantage of this justifiable opportunity, called Congratulations on the Marquis's appointment, it is actually a win-win relationship and paves the way for the future.

Yinque's car was parked in an inconspicuous corner, he didn't get out of the car in a hurry, instead he looked around quietly in the car, and after a long time he said: "It's fine for the others to guard the front door; Qianqiu You go in with me, first find out where the back door of the Marquis's Mansion is."

As he spoke, his eyes stopped on a certain car - a silver car with the Yin family's crest on it.

"Master, won't they follow you in..." the driver whispered, "Butler Cheng told you to let them follow you when entering and exiting the dinner."

"I don't need it if I say no." Yinque said, "Once the inside starts, you go there and wait, don't make any mistakes."

"understand!"

The door of the Marquis's Mansion was open, and there was an endless stream of guests, all of whom were dressed luxuriously and upscale. At first glance, they looked no different from the banquets held by those princes in the capital.Even if there are beggars everywhere in Weierta, there are also a group of people standing above them, and one piece of clothing can be worth half a year's rations.

Yinque was dressed a little plainly in it, unlike the capital here, not so many people knew his face.But there are still many people who are surprised by his handsomeness and can't help but cast their gazes at him.He didn't seem to notice, and walked into the gate of the Marquis Mansion on his own.

Qianqiu changed back to his plain black suit, and followed behind him holding a carefully wrapped gift box.

The servants of the Marquis Mansion greeted the guests at the door, and when they saw the silver sparrow coming, they immediately bowed and saluted, and then said: "Excuse me, is your Excellency..."

"This is the young master of the Wangdu family. He came here to congratulate the Marquis on behalf of Mr. Cheng." Qian Qiu said, "This is a congratulatory gift, please accept it."

"So it's Young Master Cheng," the servant hurriedly gestured to invite in, and the other person took the gift box, "Master Marquis specially asked you to come here, please—"

The Marquis has not yet arrived, and there is still some time before the banquet officially begins.

There are already quite a few people in the hall, and the musicians in the corner are playing soft music.Yinque didn't even take off her sunglasses, she walked low-key and casually to an inconspicuous corner of the hall, picked up a piece of strawberry cake, and leaned on the table to taste it.

Contrary to his relaxation, Qianqiu is vigilant.

They all knew that this dinner party was the most dangerous time in the east, and there was no telling how many forces would want to take advantage of this time to get rid of Yinque.

"Do you know what congratulatory gift Cheng Huan prepared for Xie Er?" Suddenly, Yinque said with a low smile.

Qian Qiu's attention was pulled by him, and his eyes tilted to the person beside him.He was holding a silver fork, sending a small piece of cake covered with thick cream into his mouth. The mouth was small and not wide enough, and the white cream stuck to the edge of his lips somewhat disobediently.

The tip of his pink tongue peeped out quietly, and he rolled them into his mouth calmly.

The man's thoughts lost control for a moment, and he replayed the scene in the dark cabin on the day of the storm.For a moment, his restrained moan seemed to come out of his ears again, which made people's heart palpitate.

Qianqiu's throat tightened, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he replied in a low voice: "I've read the contents inside, it's a watch."

The silver fork in Yinque's hand shook twice: "Of course the real content is at the bottom."

Then the silver fork pierced into the whole strawberry, and it was sent to his lips with his movements.Silver Sparrow's lips are not red, but when they look good, they will turn into a light pink, and more often the color is pale enough to be sickly; now the bright red strawberry is contained between his lips, and half of the gap is bitten by the white and neat teeth .

"The one given to Xie Er is [-]% of the shares in the Eastern Bank." Yinque suddenly looked at him, nodded slightly, and the breathtaking eyes revealed his true face from behind the sunglasses.There was some smile hidden in his dark pupils, he seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be saying seriously: "I will give you another [-]%, so that you can leave the family and live in peace of mind."

"Did I do something wrong?" The man's eyes suddenly dimmed: "Master, are you joking?"

"What do you think?"

"No matter what the young master gives me or not," the man frowned slightly, "I just want to stay by the young master's side... other than that, I don't want anything else."

"Oh? So loyal."

"Master..."

Yinque was indeed joking, just on a whim and without purpose.

But the man's stubborn eyes and honey-like sweet words suddenly made him feel a certain pleasure.

It was a strong feeling of being needed, and the joy was indescribable.

"Really think you can get [-]% of the shares? Stop dreaming." Yinque was laughing, her words were still tricky, "It's obviously just my dog."

But the man was relentless: "If I have done something wrong, please tell the young master clearly, I just hope that the young master will not drive me away."

Yinque hurriedly avoided the man's direct gaze, and threw the cake in his hand into the trash can: "I didn't say I would drive you away, don't show yourself like a stray dog, you are still domestic anyway."

At this moment, there was some noise in the hall—the protagonist of the banquet had arrived.
