Xu Si’s eyes were cold, and his fingers grabbed harder on the menu and caused some wrinkles at the corner.
Xi Ning was at a loss when he received the mission instruction prompt. How would he intervene? Why was Xu Si suspicious of Jian Yue? Was it because he saw Jian Yue staying with him?
The system was also confused and suggested, “Why doesn’t…… master try to divert his attention?”
There were new customers in the shop, Jian Yue and Wen Xue turned around and continued to serve other customers, and let Xi Ning take charge of Xu Si’s table.
Xi Ning put on a gloomy face and stared at Xu Si’s hand, which was flipping the menu. The table in the shop was dark brown, plus with the bright lights in the shop, Xu Si’s hand looked dazzling white on it.
The relieving effect of the illness from their encounter seemed to disappear somehow. Xi Ning suddenly wanted to reach out and touch that hand to see how it felt.
No.1 stood behind Xu Si’s side. He watched Xi Ning slowly stretch out his hand and touch Xu Si’s finger.
Xu Si was stunned. He quickly reacted and grabbed Xi Ning’s fingertips with his hand.
He squeezed Xi Ning’s hand gently, and said softly, “What are you doing?”
The warm and soft touch instantly made Xi Ning recall the scene when his lips were pressed against Xu Si’s skin that night, and his impatient emotions disappeared. Xi Ning froze in place, blushing.
Jian Yue noticed that Xi Ning hadn’t been moving for a long time, just standing at the table and not moving, so he called him, “Xiao Ning, have you taken the order?”
Xi Ning was startled by his voice, and suddenly withdrew his hand and ran out of the night snack shop.
Jian Yue was confused. He put down the things in his hands and chased after him, but Xi Ning was nowhere to be seen.
He turned back and saw that Xu Si was frowning and quickly said, “Mr. Xu, so sorry, I’ll take your order.”
Xu Si closed the menu, and leaned on his wheelchair. “Just serve me a few of your signature dishes.”
He came here today because of Xi Ning. After Xi Ning left last time, he sent someone to search for him for several days.
That day, Xi Ning feld through some remote intersections at high speed, and it was hard to spot and track through the surveillance camera. After knowing that Xi Ning was working here, he planned to come and take a look.
A night snack shop like this that is always open at night is also suitable for vampires, but Xu Si seems to be very concerned about Jian Yue. He should be a human. Does he know Xi Ning’s real identity?
Xu Si stayed in the shop until very late and chatted with Jian Yue after the last guest left.
He took the initiative to talk about having met Xi Ning not long ago, and he accidentally learned his name. He didn’t say more details, and he didn’t show that he knew Xi Ning was a vampire.
Jian Yue replied, “I see……”, and only told a part of the truth. “Xiao Ning is a child of one of my relatives. He has not been here for a long time, and he is also very young. Sometimes he acts a bit willful, so please don’t take it seriously.”
Xu Si smiled and nodded, and didn’t say anything more.
Xi Ning did not come back until 3 am. Jian Yue and Wen Xue did not intend to go out to find him. Xu Si was already feeling very tired. He estimated that Xi Ning would not come back if he was still here, and asked No. 1 to pay for the food and leave the shop.
Jian Yue sent him out, and Xu Si said to No. 1 after getting in the car, “Investigate this shop and these two people.”
No.1 responded, and after a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, the one named Xi Ning……”
This city had a long history. He had heard about the legends of supernatural creatures. The speed of Xi Ning’s movements that night was different from an ordinary human, making him very doubtful as to whether he was human or not, especially after that Xu Si also strictly ordered them not to speak about the incident that night.
And Xu Si’s reaction when he saw Xi Ning at the time made him feel that they should have known each other. After all, based on Xu Si’s impression in his mind, if he really said that he knew aliens, No.1 would also be convinced.
But at a glance today, the relationship between the two seems to be more complicated than he thought……
Especially when Xi Ning reached out to touch Xu Si, he blushed and also fled the place. No.1 even questioned whether his boss was secretly in love with a non-human being.
Xu Si closed his eyes to have a rest. “What?”
No.1 was stunned for a while, but still didn’t dare to ask directly, and said, “I’m just a little curious.”
Curious…… Xu Si muttered the word silently. He was also very curious about Xi Ning.
He had many peculiar dreams when he was still young. There was one same person that always existed in his dreams. After he grew up, he almost forgot about it since it had been a long time. But when he first saw Xi Ning that night, he felt inexplicably familiar.
Later, when Xi Ning fought with his bodyguards at the entrance of the hospital, he intentionally told his bodyguards to retreat, and let Xi Ning bite himself.
After Xi Ning sucked his blood and told him his name. Those dreams back then gradually came to mind. Xi Ning completely matched the person in his dreams.
