Chapter 48
The night covered his expression, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

The warm orange light of the city moved back from the car window from time to time, like a scene from an old movie.

She didn't know where Li Qizhi wanted to take her, so she asked aloud, "Where are we going? When will my brother come back?"

Just now after Cheng Siyan subdued the middle-aged man, he received a call from the police station and left in a hurry, leaving her and Li Qizhi alone.

"You can give him a call."

Li Qizhi said that his voice still had the chill of early winter, deep and hoarse, and seemed to have a magical power to confuse people.

Cheng Suiran froze for a moment, then raised his hand in front of him.

"What?" He was puzzled for a moment.

"Lend me your mobile phone." She explained seriously: "Our school does not allow mobile phones."

Li Qizhi paused for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and handed it to her: "The password is four zeros."

Hearing this, she pursed her lips and smiled, pressed the screen to enter a series of numbers, found Cheng Siyan's number and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time, but there was a delay in answering it, until finally, it turned into a cold and biting shutdown prompt.

She couldn't help worrying, her delicate brows were tightly knit together, and she murmured to the phone: "Why is it still turned off..."

"It should still be busy." He comforted: "Maybe I will call back later, and I will send you back first."

"Yeah." She lowered her head and answered absently.

The atmosphere in the car froze.

Until the phone rang again, it was Cheng Siyan calling.

Her face changed, and she quickly picked it up: "Hello? Brother...why did you suddenly turn off the phone?"

"Of course? Brother is fine. You go to Qizhi's house tonight first. Brother can't leave tonight." His voice came, calm and indifferent.

Cheng Suiran was a little relieved, and then said: "Brother, you must pay attention to safety."

She knew that her brother was going on a mission tonight, but she still couldn't help worrying secretly.

On the other side of the phone, Cheng Siyan said "Yes", and continued: "Of course, you give your phone to pray."

"Oh." She obediently agreed, and handed the phone to Li Qizhi who was sitting in the driver's seat.

Holding the phone, he said softly, "What's wrong?"

"We can catch the murderer tonight. I am more worried about Ranran's safety, so please pray for me to protect her, thank you."

"It should." Li Qizhi nodded and replied, after a pause, he asked again: "Be careful, come to my house for dinner tomorrow."

After a long while of silence on the phone, Cheng Siyan slowly uttered three words: "No problem."

After that, the phone hung up.

Listening to the blind voice coming from the mobile phone, Li Qizhi squinted slightly, his eyes were dark and unpredictable.

He looked sideways at the girl who was looking at the side, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally drove towards home without saying anything.

The night was getting darker, she was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

"What's wrong?" Li Qizhi noticed the change in her mood and asked with a sideways glance.

"It's okay." She pursed her lips, pretending to be relaxed, "It's just a little cold."

"It's okay." He said softly, freed up one hand to hold her hand, and used the heat source to drive away the cold for her.

Feeling the heat brought by his palm, her heart skipped a beat suddenly, as if a stone had been thrown into her heart, causing waves.

She lowered her eyelids, suppressed the unusually complex expression in her eyes, and then responded softly: "Yes."

The way back was not too short, and when encountering a red light on the way, Li Qizhi turned up the temperature of the air conditioner by a few degrees, turned to look at the girl beside him, and said with concern: "If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while. "

She nodded, leaned against the back of the chair, her eyes fell on the hands of the two holding each other, and she was in a daze.

She was speechless all the way, she just felt a little bit confused, and she didn't know how long it took before she heard a faint rustling and was about to get up.

A few seconds later, the very light fir smell enveloped her. She only felt light and was hugged by Li Qizhi.

Shocked, she quickly put her arms around his neck and said in a panic, "What are you doing?"

He stopped on the spot, glanced at her with lowered eyes, and pursed his lips and said, "Don't be afraid."

These two words gently caressed her heart like a spring breeze, her body froze suddenly, and she whispered: "I'm not afraid."

On the night of New Year's Eve, the fireworks continue to bloom, bright and brilliant, illuminating most of the night sky.

The street is full of traffic and crowds, and the neon lights of various colors are shining dazzlingly. The whole long street is very lively, and the noisy and noisy voices are mixed into the eardrums, making people's thinking a little dull.

Cheng Suiran crouched in his arms, looked up at his profile, saw that his thin lips were slightly pursed, with sharp edges and corners, his brows revealed indifference and alienation, and his every move seemed extraordinarily dignified.

Her heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "Li Qizhi."

Li Qizhi glanced at her, and his Adam's apple rolled, "Mmm".

She closed her eyes and buried her face in the socket of his shoulder, sniffing the special breath that belonged to him, and said softly: "You are really good."

So good that she was willing to give everything for him.

Hearing this, his body trembled slightly, and then he curled his lips into a smile, and said lightly: "When you grow up and meet better ones, you won't say that."

Will there be someone better than him?
Cheng Suiran leaned into his arms again, and didn't speak anymore, but his eyes were a little sour.

During this period of time, she has been avoiding him, she is afraid that he really hates her, and she is even more afraid that she will never see him again.

Fortunately, none of this really happened.

The elevator gradually ascended and reached the twelfth floor. As soon as the door opened, she met Grandma Wang head-on.

Grandma Wang's eyes fell on the little girl in his arms, and she smiled kindly: "It's natural, isn't it because your legs are uncomfortable? That's why I let my brother carry her away."

Cheng Suiran felt that Li Qizhi's body stiffened.

Afraid of being put down, she closed her eyes tightly, and secretly grasped his sleeves with her hands.

"Her legs are very good." Li Qizhi responded lightly.

Grandma Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then asked softly, "Then why are you still hugging? After all, you are a big girl, and it's always bad for others to see you. Those who know that you are brother and sister, but those who don't, think they are a couple. "

Li Qizhi pursed his lips, and his voice was slightly cold: "I can hug you if you want to, please let me go."

The smile on Grandma Wang's face froze, she smiled sarcastically, and stepped aside tactfully: "Then go back and rest."

Li Qizhi nodded slightly and didn't say any more.

Cheng Suiran snuggled into his arms and laughed secretly.

Back in the apartment, he put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and said softly, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Seeing him getting up to leave, she grabbed his sleeve: "What about you? Won't you stay with me?"
