Chapter 129 Chi Xiao
It wasn't until half an hour later that the fighting in the house stopped.
The knife that was originally in Chi Xiao's hand was now in Qu Bai's hand, with the blade against her neck.
Her neck was cut, blood staining the blade red. Qu Bai looked at her coldly: "If I use a little more force, you will die here today."
Chi Xiao's eyes flashed with nervousness, but he still sneered: "Do you dare?"
Qu Bai smiled and raised the back of his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth: "But that will dirty my hands, what should I do?"
After he finished speaking, he loosened his grip and the knife in his hand fell straight down.
Chi Xiao's face tightened and she quickly dodged to the side. The knife just brushed her feet and fell to the ground, leaving a long wound.
"A small gift." Qu Bai stepped back and called out, "Ade."
In a few breaths, Chi Xiao swallowed all his emotions and ignored the wound on his foot.
Ade came in quickly, holding a washbasin in his hand and a towel hanging on his arm, and walked up to Qu Bai.
Qu Bai washed his hands and glanced at Chi Xiao: "Why, we've already met, why don't you leave? You've been very free lately."
Chi Xiao was very angry that she was always defeated by him, but she felt more humiliated. She touched the wound on her neck and smiled bitterly: "You really want to kill me."
Qu Bai curled the corners of his mouth.
He sat on the sofa and looked at the cufflinks of his shirt that had fallen off. He looked a little unhappy. He just glanced at Chi Xiao and didn't reply to her.
Chi Xiao swallowed the humiliation in his heart: "You don't really think that I miss you so much that I came to see you, right?"
"Why should I think?"
Qu Bai said, "Did you want to come, or did I invite you? No, I didn't welcome you from the beginning to the end."
Chi Xiao took a deep breath and laughed: "Qu..."
Qu Bai raised his eyelids and warned her with a cold look on his face.
Chi Xiao shrugged and walked over, sitting opposite him: "What should I call you? Sparrow? Gardener? Or Razor?"
"Whatever you want." Qu Bai disagreed: "Don't call me by my real name."
"Why?" Chi Xiao blurted out.
Qu Bai rolled up his sleeves and said, "This name is quite clean. I don't like people calling me that."
Chi Xiao was furious: "All are fine, why can't Qu Bai! That's how we used to call each other! Am I someone else?"
"Don't mention the past to me." Qu Bai took the tablet and swiped it without even looking at her.
"You've recovered your memory." Chi Xiao suddenly thought of something, and she looked a little nervous: "Really? Did you think of something bad?"
Qu Bai didn't say anything.
His attitude seemed to answer Chi Xiao. She stared at Qu Bai for a long while, still holding on to a sense of luck: "He has recovered, right?"
Ade, who had just left, came back in, holding medicine and a glass of water in his hand and walked up to Qu Bai: "Sir, it's time to take the medicine."
Qu Bai responded, took the medicine and was about to drink it, but Chi Xiao rushed over and grabbed his wrist.
The medicine in his palm spilled onto the ground. Qu Bai just glanced at it and told Ade: "Go get another one."
Ade nodded, looked straight ahead, took two steps back and turned to leave.
Qu Bai pulled his hand away with some disgust.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Chi Xiao squatted down and picked up a few pills. The worry on his face was real: "Is there something wrong with your body?"
Qu Bai looked up at her, his eyes full of mockery.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Chi Xiao was completely anxious and squatted down: "Why are you taking medicine!"
Ade walked in: "Fox, you are asking even though you already know the answer. You should know best what medicine the gentleman is taking, right?"
"What do you mean?" Chi Xiao's face turned cold: "Ade, explain it clearly."
Ade didn't say much. He gave the medicine to Qu Bai and stood aside respectfully.
Qu Bai opened his palm to receive the medicine, and only then did Chi Xiao see the scar on his palm.
She subconsciously wanted to grab Qu Bai's hand again, but she restrained herself in the end. After he drank the medicine, she asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Qu Bai's slow pace annoyed her. She was so angry that she didn't care about her injuries at all. She yelled madly, "What's going on? Tell me!"
"Don't you know what that person did? You should know best whether the gentleman's memory has been restored. Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now?"
Ade sneered and looked at her with mockery.
Chi Xiao suddenly fell silent, his facial expression changed several times, but a smile appeared in his eyes: "So...are you angry with me because of this?"
Qu Bai ignored her.
Chi Xiao thought he was angry and softened his tone: "You know, I can't help myself, Qu Bai, don't you know what kind of environment we were born in? I have no choice in many things. If I don't do what my father says, do you think we will be better off?"
Qu Bai leaned back and closed his eyes. He sighed, "Chi Xiao, have you ever thought about escaping?"
Chi Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he said, "It's not that we didn't escape, but the consequences were so tragic, don't you know? You lost your memory, and I almost died..."
She looked sad and wanted to grab Qu Bai's hand again, but just as her fingertips touched, Qu Bai withdrew his hand.
Chi Xiao smiled bitterly: "Qu Bai, we can't beat him..."
Qu Bai sneered.
"We were so good before, why did we have to end up like this? I did some things wrong, but I did it to survive. Am I really that evil in your eyes?"
Qu Bai sneered.
Tears slid down her face, but she still looked stubborn: "You said that I am your only relative. Have you forgotten these words?"
“I don’t remember.”
Qu Bai opened his eyes and saw her face, which was still beautiful even when she was crying, and there seemed to be a trace of pity on his face.
He leaned forward and gently brushed his fingers across Chi Xiao's face: "Fox, were we really that close before?"
Chi Xiao's eyes were filled with surprise, and she nodded: "Qu Bai, I gave you this name."
"Yeah?"
Qu Bai's fingertips brushed across her lips, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "What about you?"
"You took it."
Chi Xiao laughed and rubbed his palm with his face: "It's good that you forgot. We had such a hard time back then. Now it's good. It's good that you don't remember those things in the past, really."
Qu Bai smiled, but suddenly retracted his action.
Under Chi Xiao's surprised gaze, he stood up with a cold face.
"You're right. In the environment we live in, no one can help themselves. It's better to forget some things. More than ten years have passed. Don't hold on to the past. You are not such a nostalgic person, and neither am I. You don't have to act in front of me. It makes me sick."
Chi Xiao felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head.
She stood up, wiped the blood from her neck, looked at the bloody red on her fingertips, leaned over and smeared it on her lips on the reflective table, and in an instant she became the charming woman she was when she entered the room.
"Okay, since you said I should act, then I'll act."
She smiled and sat on the table: "In this case, let's talk business."
Qu Bai sat down again and flicked the non-existent dust off his thighs: "You should have said it a long time ago."
Everything that happened just now seemed to have no effect on the two people's mood. Chi Xiao looked at him and said slowly: "When I came to Dongzhou, I met someone. Guess who it was?"
Qu Bai picked up a pill at his feet and threw it into the trash can without responding to her .
Chi Xiao didn't care: "Actually... he can be considered an old acquaintance of ours."
Qu Bai raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Chi Xiao stood up: "You know, Qincheng is located on the border, and there is an intelligence team of former agents stationed there..."
She paused and looked carefully at Qu Bai's expression.
Seeing that he looked calm, she continued, "There is a codenamed 'Falcon' in there. We lost many people to her. Oh, you should have a deep impression of her. Four years ago, you were seriously injured and almost caught. It was also because of her."
Qu Bai's face showed some emotion, and his voice was cold: "So, who is it?"
"What a coincidence, she is in Dongzhou now."
Chi Xiao smiled, took out a photo and placed it in front of Qu Bai: "It took me a lot of effort to find the person."
Qu Bai lowered his head and saw that the person in the photo was Chi Xia.
