Chapter 417
Qing nodded earnestly and stood still on the edge of the couch. At this time, the footsteps had already reached the door, and an old man with gray hair and beard walked into the house without hurrying, and almost at the same time he saw Qing standing in the room, his cloudy eyes looked at Qing, and Qing was also looking at the old man at the door.
He is almost fifty or sixty years old, and his square face is square, and even if his cheeks are already wrinkled, he can tell that he is not a resident of the local nationality. All of this is just the surface of Qing's vision, what is really worth noting is the eyes, even if they are cloudy, you can vaguely see the wisdom that once remained, and the subtle bloodshot in the whites of the eyes can be determined that this old man was hypnotized by magic or hinted in his heart a few times!
Qing looked away from the old man, not bothering to look at his old man in a daze, Qing turned his gaze to Rider sitting at the dining table. Because in Qing's gaze, the old man in front of him has been manipulated by magic, and the Rider camp relies on this magic to live in this house. In this way, Rider had reminded Qing not to run into the old couple of the family, and this action became unfounded.
"Ahh ~I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! If you accidentally get distracted, please sit down! The old man's sudden awakening words transferred Qing away from Rider, Qing was silent for a moment, no longer thinking about finding the answer from Rider, but nodded respectfully to the old man, walked to the dining table and found a chair to sit down.
A snow painting sitting on the sofa stared at Qing who betrayed her and sat at the dining table, she saw that the situation in the room was not right, and hurriedly followed Qing to the dining table without a trace. The old man smiled and nodded at the embarrassed Xue Painting, "I'll go make you tea, wait a while." Please don't mind. With that, the old man turned and left the room.
"Hey! Caster๏ผ Do you know if you were too good just now, I just said that I kept some respect, for the sake of your self-esteem as a heroic spirit, but I didn't expect that this time you lost all your original arrogant shelf, and you left me there alone, how can this make me embarrassed? ~~โ
Ichijo puffed out his cheeks as he spoke, not caring at all that there was a Rider sitting next to him and started a small tantrum. Qing turned his head to Rider and smiled slightly, Rider nodded naturally, silently picked up the newspaper on the table and read it, indicating that he didn't care about the internal problems on Qing's side at all.
"It's really my fault in the first place, and as your Servant, I'd like to apologize here. Although I have disturbed your help, I still need to thank you for your kindness! Qing smiled and rubbed a snow painting's head, and a snow painting who was angry raised his hand and slapped Qing's hand away, but Qing knew that the anger of the person in front of him had disappeared. Although she still has an angry look on her face, once she treats someone she considers a partner or friend, even if she has a lot of anger in her heart, she will not vent it in front of the person she cares about.
At this moment, the old man walked into the house with a plate containing a teacup, "Let the two of you wait for a long time, and you only have some tea leaves that are not expensive, I hope you don't mind." The old man carefully placed the cup in front of Qing, and then placed a cup on the plate in front of Qing. The old man also sat down at the front of the table after Ichijo Yukie took the teacup.
"I think you're a friend of Mr. Iskandar, right? Hehehehe~ I didn't expect that the old house that had been deserted for decades would be lively at such a time. ------It's really nostalgic~----" The old man happily looked at Qinghe Yiyi in front of him, and the joy in his eyes was also extremely real, truly from the heart.
Qing silently glanced at Rider, and after seeing that he was also looking at Qing, Qing smiled and nodded at the old man quietly. "Iskander and R---- I was also a friend I met before the change in the city some time ago, but for some embarrassing reasons, I could only bring my sister to join the only person I knew in the city. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. โ
Qing's face was a little distressed, even if it was covered by a smile, but there was still worry in his eyes, under this sad expression without a trace of flaws, even Rider himself opened his mouth slightly, but reason made him not make more expressions, only the same rough grin.
This is a snow painting without a trace, only Qing can notice the position of a thumbs up, as if praising Qing's flawless acting skills. The old man stood up and looked at Qing very solemnly. "If you don't have a place to live, just stay here! Although my home is not big, there are still guest rooms. You can live here as if it were your own home, and you can live as long as you want! โ
The old man's categorical words made Qing couldn't help but feel slightly hot, but maybe it was because he had already told too many lies, and he only had a trace of guilt in the face of that real emotion! But once the lie starts, it can only go on like this.
Qing stood up and bowed solemnly to the old man, although Qing couldn't tell the truth, he could only apologize silently in this way. "I am very grateful to have your help, my sister and I are very grateful!" The worry in the blue eyes faded, and the ease and joy washed away the quiet eyes, not only because they were happy to be helped from someone else's heart, but also because they were happy that the need to deceive was over.
Qing sat down respectfully, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, the light taste of tea was like Qing's current mood mixed together. Although I have tried my best to convince myself of relief, I can't find a faint discomfort in my heart, just like the sweetness and bitterness of tea, which lingers and cannot be completely extinguished.
The morning sun shines into the house through the window, the cold wind blows outside the glass, and there is only peace and warmth inside the house. Qing held the teacup in his hand, and unconsciously a trace of memories was brought out by the bitterness in his heart, which were all memories that his predecessor could not forget but hid in his heart. Qing was slightly stunned, and looked down at the light green tea.
"Oops~! Look at me, I really am! I was so happy in the lively room that I forgot that I got up early to prepare breakfast! I'll be out of company for the two of you, Mr. Iskander, and I'll trouble you here. โ
