Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

[She went to a dinner party with Qi Yu. Qi Yu went to kill people, while she went to give people mental hints, making them terrified to death, and then replace the scales.]

After being led by Qi Yu along the path through one grape vine after another, they arrived at a quiet shore.

Qi Yu climbed to the top first, then leaned over and stretched out his hand to her, saying, "Give me your hand, I'll pull you up."

Xia Jiumeng handed her hand to him without hesitation, allowing his slender and powerful hands to wrap around her and hold her tightly.

"1, 2,3, ,..." Qi Yu easily pulled her up the steep slope.

After standing firmly, you can see the scenery of the entire coast. The floating sea surface is coated with a layer of silver by the moonlight, as if it is inlaid with broken diamonds.

The cliffs by the sea are covered with lush branches and vines. The snow-white waves pile up and spread out on the ground, making a rhythmic sound of waves. There is an indescribable tranquility that makes people want to empty their minds.

"It's so beautiful, no wonder there are so many pubs here." The waves of the sea were reflected in Xia Jiumeng's eyes.

Looking at the beautiful sea view, in this busy and dangerous world, it is a blessing to occasionally calm down and listen to the rhythmic sound of the waves to soothe your inner restlessness, and have a drink.

“It’s a really nice place to have a drink.”

Qi Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that and said jokingly, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You've only been here for one day and you've already adapted?"

He randomly found a suitable place and sat down, then casually patted the spot beside him to signal her to sit down.

When she sat down beside him, he handed her the bottle of wine in his hand, then looked at the night view and said, "This place used to be more beautiful. The sea was as blue as emerald green, the meadows were full of chrysanthemums, and seagulls were circling around the red cliffs not far away."

"I used to sit here and watch the sun set and the moon rise."

There was a hint of longing and regret in Qi Yu's words.

“It’s actually beautiful now, too. There’s a kind of tranquility that makes people feel at peace, as if they’ve been healed by the sea.”

Xia Jiumeng leaned lightly on Qi Yu's shoulder and took a sip.

"Qi Yu, did your teacher do this on purpose to let you go out and relax?"

After all, Qi Yu said that he was in a bad mood at that time.

Qi Yu sighed softly upon hearing this. "....His mind is occupied only by painting and drinking. It's hard to imagine that he could have such a complicated mind."

"However, if he can come back from that 'utopia', I will ask him."

He took the wine but didn't drink it. He just held it and looked at the sea calmly with an unclear emotion.

Because he knew clearly that person would never come back...

Xia Jiumeng felt a little distressed seeing him like this, then looked around and asked with feigned curiosity, "Why don't I see the red cliff you mentioned?"

Qi Yu regained consciousness and looked at her. "It's so dark, of course I can't see."

"Besides, it has been blocked by that winery." Qi Yu pointed to a manor not far away.

"Haunlos Winery, where we're having a banquet tomorrow."

"There it is."

Qi Yu couldn't help but laugh. "You didn't read the invitation carefully, did you? Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?"

"Are you willing to?"

"I can't bear to sell you. I'd rather sell myself than sell you." Qi Yu grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cheek.

"Besides, didn't you say it wasn't an important friend's invitation? Why did you travel so far to attend the appointment?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at him and said, "This is not your style."

Qi Yu is a very unsociable person. Unless he really has no choice, he will avoid it if possible.

This time, he went there on his own initiative, contrary to his usual practice.

"Did I say that?"

"I remember saying that the owner of the winery wasn't really my friend, but he was an important person."

"I've been waiting for this invitation for a long time." Qi Yu blinked his eyes with an expression as if you must have heard it wrong.

It makes people want to touch it.

"Ok."

"But it's rare to see you take the initiative to interact with others. Do you have any other plans?"

"What do you mean by 'other plans'?"

"I don't know." Qi Yu pretended to be stupid.

But after he finished speaking, he turned around and rubbed his chin against the top of her head and whispered, "Don't worry, my plan tomorrow is just to give away the bottle of wine I brought."

Xia Jiumeng nodded and said nothing more, but she knew very well in her heart that Qi Yu would definitely not just go for a date.

The people who can make Qi Yu actively make friends with are either a favor or a grudge...

While she was still thinking, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy and she turned around to see that it was Qi Yu who had leaned on her shoulder at some point. He took a sip from the bottle of wine she had drunk and then handed the bottle to her again.

"The sea breeze is so comfortable tonight... Let's stay a little longer."

"You can drink as much as you want. We can get some sleep when we get home."

"Until tomorrow, when the dinner begins."

She and Qi Yu stayed up very late, until the bottle of wine was empty, but Qi Yu drank most of it. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were a little blurry.

On the way back, Qi Yu's steps were still steady.

I have to say that Qi Yu is a qualified and gentle lover. Even though his mind was a little confused due to the alcohol, he still carefully washed her and cleaned himself before carrying her back to sleep.

In the quilt, Qi Yu hugged her tightly and made sure that their hands were intertwined with each other before he buried his head in the back of her neck and fell asleep with satisfaction.
