Chapter 66: Sudden Rage
This trip was undoubtedly a happy and relaxing one, and Qin Qi was indeed well prepared.
In the afternoon, Kong Nanzhu changed several sets of clothes and took several groups of photos with different rooms of the homestay as the background. Qin Qi worked hard as a scaffolder and photographer. Although his photography skills were not as professional as Xu Qingqing's, he enjoyed the process of helping Kong Nanzhu take photos.
In front of the rose wall carefully prepared by Qin Qi, Kong Nanzhu deliberately changed into a white gauze skirt, her face filled with the happiness of being pampered. She posted a separate Weibo post about this group of photos, with the caption:
[Thank you for the love confession wall for my husband. Which one looks better, me or the rose? ]
The number of likes instantly exceeded 100. Qin Qi paid special attention to Kong Nanzhu on his second Weibo account. He couldn't help but repost the post and commented, "You're welcome. Of course you look better."
Qin Qi's small account does not have any Weibo content, and the follow list is full of various people. This account has no functionality and is purely a tool for him to kill time when he is bored. Therefore, he is not afraid of exposing his information and secretly hopes that people will find out that he is Kong Nanzhu's mysterious husband.
Unfortunately, his comment was drowned out by the praises and blessings in the comment section, and didn't even create a ripple.
More than ten minutes later, Qin Qi's comment unexpectedly became popular. Looking at the hundreds of Weibo message notifications on his phone, he excitedly opened the comment section and found that Kong Nanzhu's fans were following suit and copying and pasting his words under his comments. All of them were "You're welcome. Of course you look better."
No one even thought that he was Kong Nanzhu's legal husband.
Qin Qi deleted his comment with a sour face, and all the copied messages under his comment also disappeared.
Kong Nanzhu thought they would stay in this house without going out. In the evening , Qin Qi took the initiative to suggest that there was a bar behind the lobby of the B&B and he would accompany her to have a drink there.
The bar is basically full of guests of this B&B, so the risk of being photographed by the media or paparazzi is almost zero.
This is a jazz bar with retro decoration, melodious old jazz records playing. Even though Qin Qi wore a hat and a mask, his outstanding figure and temperament still attracted a lot of attention when he entered. Kong Nanzhu was also very low-key, wearing a baseball cap, a casual baggy sweatshirt and sweatpants. The eyes of a few guests followed them until they sat down. One of the eyes was particularly scorching, but the person concerned did not notice it.
Kong Nanzhu likes to try different flavors of cocktails, so he ordered four or five different cocktails. Qin Qi ordered a dozen beers and asked the waiter to bring two sieve cups.
The sound of shaking the dice was very abrupt. Fortunately, guests from another table were also playing, otherwise Kong Nanzhu would not dare to disrupt the elegant and leisurely atmosphere here.
"Xu Qingqing said you are a general who always wins. Today I will try to see if you are really good or she is just bragging."
Kong Nanzhu recalled the last time he played dice with Song Linyuan, and said confidently, "Come on."
As a result, Kong Nanzhu lost five games in a row.
Kong Nanzhu was very surprised that she finished a glass of cocktail without even tasting it. She could even see how happy Qin Qi was smiling through the mask.
"Come again!"
"Nanzhu?"
A clear and magnetic male voice interrupted their game. Kong Nanzhu didn't expect to run into an acquaintance while traveling. She subconsciously distanced herself from Qin Qi, which caused Qin Qi to frown in dissatisfaction.
Kong Nanzhu looked up and saw the appearance of the person coming. The next second, he stood up in surprise, "Senior!"
Bai Yuxi has changed a lot since he was in college. I don't remember him wearing glasses before, but now he wears a pair of frameless glasses. Bai Yuxi specializes in badminton and is a national second-level athlete and a main player of the school team. He once served as a referee for field events during the school sports meeting, and Kong Nanzhu got to know him because of this.
"After so many years, Nanzhu, you have really become more and more beautiful. I follow your Weibo, and you are even more beautiful in person than in the photos. What surprised me is that you are already married."
Bai Yuxi's smile had not dropped since the moment he saw Kong Nanzhu. He noticed the hostile gaze of Kong Nanzhu's companion. He politely nodded to Qin Qi, looked at the somewhat familiar eyes, and asked with a smile, "Is this your mysterious husband?"
Before Kong Nanzhu could speak, Qin Qi took off his hat and mask, stood up and extended his right hand to Bai Yuxi, "Hello, I'm Qin Qi, her brother."
Bai Yuxi was stunned for two seconds, then held Qin Qi's hand, neither showing excitement about meeting a star nor making a fuss, "Nice to meet you, I didn't expect that I could meet a star in real life. My name is Bai Yuxi."
Kong Nanzhu's heart beat very fast as she watched the two men shaking hands. She didn't expect Qin Qi to reveal his identity so easily. Just now she had planned to fool him without any introduction, but now that Qin Qi showed up, there was a lot to explain.
Kong Nanzhu helped Qin Qi put on the hat as soon as he let go of Bai Yuxi, and said to Bai Yuxi apologetically: "His identity is quite special, please keep it secret from your friends."
Three people playing dice in another corner looked at them from time to time. They should be Bai Yuxi's companions.
Bai Yuxi expressed his understanding, "Of course, I won't tell them, but I really didn't expect that you and the famous star Qin Qi are siblings."
There are many meanings behind Bai Yuxi's words. Perhaps what he wanted to express was that he did not expect Kong Nanzhu to be a member of the famous Qin family.
Kong Nanzhu smiled. At this time, keeping silent or avoiding the topic was the best response. "Sit down and talk. We haven't seen each other since you went to England in your junior year. Now you have graduated and returned to China?"
"Yes, I studied for a master's and doctoral degree for five years. I just graduated this year. After returning to China, there was a lot of chaos. My partners and I were planning to start a company together. In fact, I have always wanted to contact you and invite you out for dinner, but unfortunately I never found the right time. Fortunately, God has let us meet here."
Kong Nanzhu said: "You have really changed a lot. If you hadn't recognized me first, I wouldn't have dared to say hello to you even if I walked past you."
Bai Yuxi had neat short hair when he was in college. Now his hair is styled with hairspray, giving him the style of a business elite. The dark grey checkered vest with a stable pattern and a lapel sweater on his body look very much like what British aristocrats wear in the movies, especially the black bow tie in front of his lapel, which is particularly stylish.
"When I was in school, I was too unsophisticated and didn't know how to dress myself. Now I have studied abroad, so I can't be completely useless."
Qin Qi watched the two of them chatting enthusiastically, put his fingers on the table, and began tapping at an irregular frequency.
He somewhat regretted bringing Kong Nanzhu to the bar for a drink. He had clearly called her to the room, where they could have drunk.
Kong Nanzhu realized that Qin Qi was being left out, so he suggested, "Why don't we roll the dice together? Ask the waiter to bring another set of sieves."
Bai Yuxi waved his hands repeatedly. He could see that Qin Qi didn't welcome him to sit here for long. "I don't dare to play with you easily. You are the victorious general, and I am your defeated general. I admit defeat. You guys play slowly. I'm going back to find my friends. I'll invite you to dinner when I'm free."
After a pause, Bai Yuxi added, "I hope to have a chance to meet your husband. I'm curious about what type of men our Normal University's campus belle likes."
After Bai Yuxi left, Qin Qi drank alone with a stern face. Kong Nanzhu tried several topics but failed to get a response from Qin Qi.
Kong Nanzhu was somewhat helpless, "How about we go back?"
Qin Qi put on his mask without saying a word, and went to the front desk to pay the bill. Kong Nanzhu looked at the table full of wine that had hardly been touched, and had no choice but to quickly follow him.
After returning to the room, Qin Qi's first question was, "When did you drink with him? Didn't you say that you only drank with people from your dormitory and went to the bar together? Why was he included?"
Kong Nanzhu was a little caught off guard by Qin Qi's sudden jealousy and questioning. She thought Qin Qi was angry just because she was busy reminiscing about the past with Bai Yuxi and ignored him.
"Besides when he was abroad, we had a meal together, and then we sat in a bar because we thought it might be hard to see each other again."
Kong Nanzhu told the truth, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.
Qin Qi exploded, "You went out drinking with him alone? Why didn't you tell me? Did he pursue you?"
The series of three questions confused Kong Nanzhu.
