Clear stream

On the first night in the mansion, Fang Ruogu didn't sleep well. The velvet bedding was soft and comfortable, the heavy European-style curtains blocked the light outside, and the room's sound insulation was surprisingly good, but he just couldn't sleep.

After much deliberation, Fang Ruogu came to a conclusion: it was because Xi Qingxi mentioned the sub-personality.

He tossed and turned on the bed, couldn't help turning over, and planned to go to Xi Qingxi's room to see what he was doing.

The bedrooms of the two are next door to each other, but the room area is too large, and there is a certain distance between the doors.Fang Ruogu tiptoed and slowly moved towards the wall, bright lights poured out from the crack of the half-closed door, and voices could be vaguely heard.

Fang Ruogu put his ears against the crack of the door, stretched his neck and held his breath, Xi Qingxi's voice came to his ears clearly.

"Where did you get my number?"

"Qu Zhiyi? I didn't expect her to stumble on a minor."

"You're smart, but you're smart in the right place."

"I said, don't take your grievances on me, you should be looking for Xi Qingchi."

"Damn you all!"

This time, Fang Ruogu heard the voice on the other side, crazy and vicious, like a needle piercing the eardrum, he couldn't help frowning.

Not allowing him to think too much, he subconsciously opened the door and rushed in, asking anxiously, "Are you all right?"

Xi Qingxi nestled on the leather sofa to support her temple with one hand, with a book on her lap, hung up the phone, and raised her head calmly: "Can't sleep?"

Fang Ruogu: "Are you intimidated?" He stepped forward in three steps at a time, never leaving Xi Qingxi's eyes, "What's going on?"

"It's just kidding, don't worry."

Fang Ruogu pursed his lips and said nothing, his dark brown eyes gleamed with complex luster: "The rich second generation who ran away in the news is your younger brother, right?"

He picked that car with Xi Qingxi, even though it was battered and old, Fang Ruogu could still recognize it.

"Yes."

Xi Qingxi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then looked down at the book again.The slender fingertips rubbing the pages made a faint rustling sound, which was especially abrupt in the room where no one was speaking.

"He hasn't been taken away by the police until now, and no one has disclosed his last name. Is it thanks to you?"

"Yes."

Fang Ruogu tightened his hands involuntarily, and he asked word by word: "Haven't you visited the victim in the hospital?"

"Yes."

Fang Ruogu's hands loosened and tightened, thousands of words turned into a wry smile: "It's because I'm out of shape."

He thought that Xi Qingxi was different, but from his understanding, Xi Qingxi was indeed completely different from other giants.But Fang Ruogu never thought that even if they were different, Xi Qingxi was still from a wealthy family after all. His three views and personality made him unable to give priority to victims.

At the end of the day, they cannot empathize with ordinary people.

Xi Qingxi's expression became colder, his pupils reflected a cold light, he closed the book, and tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips faintly, his slightly raised veins revealed his inner displeasure.

He loathes other people's self-righteous understanding, like Xi Qin, Fang Ruogu, including his long-dead father.

"I'm sleepy." Xi Qingxi's mood was a little unstable, and he chased away the guest expressionlessly.

Fang Ruogu backed out without making a sound, and returned to the guest room exhausted physically and mentally.He didn't turn on the light, and directly buried his face in the velvet, smelling the faint fragrance on the bedding, his heart was in a state of confusion.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Qingxi woke up from the treacherous nightmare, opened the door and was about to go downstairs for breakfast, but was stopped by the cleaning staff behind her.

"Mr. Xi, the guests seem to have left. Does that room need to be cleaned?"

Xi Qingxi thought for a while: "Well, restore the room to the way it was unoccupied."

Xi Qingxi was not surprised that Fang Ruogu left without saying goodbye, on the contrary, he could vaguely guess it.If it wasn't for Fang Ruogu's temperament, the quarrel would definitely make him sick again.

It's fine to be apart for a few days and calm down, but it would be a pity if we start to lose our identity.

……

Half a month after the accident, the heir of EAST Group finally appeared in public.At the press conference, countless pairs of eyes stared at Xi Qingxi, wanting to ask him for an explanation.

"I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting." Even in the face of so many flashing lights, Xi Qingxi remained calm and composed, "I have been introspective during this period, and finally I decided to give an explanation to the victims and the public. As for my half-brother, he has been handed over to the police, no matter what verdict is waiting for him, the Xi family will not interfere, and I hope everyone will supervise."

"In addition, I will arrange the best doctor for the victim, try my best to make her recover, and will fund her to finish college."

After finishing speaking, Xi Qingxi walked to the side of the podium, and firmly and sincerely bowed deeply to the media in the audience.

Overnight, EAST Group came back against the wind, and the act of Xi's heir to kill relatives has attracted praise and praise from various media people. The influence of Xi's family has grown stronger in all aspects, and the stocks that had plummeted have also recovered rapidly.

His move was not bad.

In the evening, Xi Qingxi was having dinner alone at home, when the doorbell rang suddenly, and he was startled out of fear even though he was unprepared.

The apartment was quite old, and the resident had installed an old-fashioned doorbell, which sounded hoarse and unpleasant like sawing wood.Xi Qingxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after a while, he pulled out his chair and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Fang Ruogu with an expectant face.

"I went to the villa by car to look for you, but the housekeeper said you were not here, so I came here. It cost me a hundred oceans to go back and forth twice!" Seeing that Xi Qingxi was unmoved, Fang Ruogu slipped under his arms with a playful smile. into the house.

"I watched the live broadcast of the press conference." Fang Ruogu approached Xi Qingxi and blinked desperately, "I misunderstood you, and I solemnly apologize to you."

Xi Qingxi walked past Fang Ruogu without changing his expression, sat back on the dining table, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the rice.

Fang Ruogu hurriedly followed, opened the chair opposite Xi Qingxi and sat down, saying, "I'll wait for you to finish eating."

Xi Qingxi twitched the corners of her mouth, pushed the chopsticks and rice bowl aside, and said in a bad tone, "I don't have a habit of being stared at when I eat."

Fang Ruogu was wronged: "Okay, then I'll get out of here."

Being disturbed by Fang Ruogu, Xi Qingxi's appetite completely disappeared, and he gave up after a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Fang Ruogu volunteered to raise his hand: "I'll wash the dishes for you."

Xi Qingxi didn't refuse or agree, but sat in the same place and stared at Fang Ruogu's busy back thoughtfully.

At this moment, the first episode of "Who Is the Murderer" began to play on TV, and his eyes were drawn to it unconsciously.

"How's it going, do you think I'm so handsome?" Fang Ruogu's brisk voice rang in Xi Qingxi's ears, and the warm breath swept over his ears, a little itchy.

Xi Qingxi subconsciously leaned back. Although he was in a defensive and evasive posture, his aura was unquestionably cold.He raised his chin and opened his lips: "You are not Fang Ruogu himself."

A trace of annoyance flashed in Fang Ruogu's eyes, and then his smile became more intense: "It's boring, it was discovered so quickly."
