Looking for you in reincarnation

"Cousin He..." He wanted to say something else, but Si He had already learned the information she needed and didn't want to deal with him any longer. "Cousin Quan, I won't disturb you while you eat. I'll leave now."

After saying that, she stood up.

"Where is cousin He staying now?" Seeing this, Sun Qiquan also quickly stood up.

Seeing that he was not giving up, she had no choice but to stop and said, "I came to Lunte City because of other things, so I'm staying at the inn temporarily. I may leave in a few days. Cousin Quan, don't worry about me. Goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked downstairs.

Sun Qiquan wanted to chase her, but her attitude was always cold. After being rejected several times, he was too embarrassed to continue to pester her and could only watch her leave. She also said that she was staying in the inn and would not leave for a few days.

After leaving the noodle shop, Si He went straight back to the inn without staying outside.

Sun Qiquan stood by the window, watching her walk into the inn across the street. After a while, he raised his hand, and the servants behind him came forward. He whispered, "Send someone to take turns keeping an eye on the inn. Notify me immediately when she comes out."

The servant murmured "yes".

Before returning to her room, Si He glanced at the guest room opposite. The door was still locked and Ning Ji had not returned yet.

Forget it, ignore him. She should go back to her room and practice more self-defense techniques, and get more familiar with the supernatural powers in her eyes. These are all ways to save her life.

Si He practiced in her room for the entire afternoon. Near dusk, she heard some noise coming from the opposite door. It was Ning Jie who had returned.

She immediately stopped practicing and went to open the door, and saw that he was holding a small bundle in his hand.

"cousin."

Ning Ji paused as he entered the room, turned around and looked at her, and saw her smiling and asking, "Cousin, have you eaten?"

"Never."

"Shall we go out for something to eat later?"

"Okay." He responded and went into the room first, put the things in his hands away, then locked the door and went out with her.

After leaving the inn, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"It will be all right."

"What about food?"

"it is good."

The two walked slowly along the street and found a small restaurant with good business. Si He walked in front and Ning Ji lagged behind her. But before entering the restaurant, he glanced at the street behind him inconspicuously, his eyes slightly deep.

He just glanced at her indifferently, then looked away and followed her into the restaurant.

This restaurant was doing very good business. The first floor was full, and only the private rooms upstairs were left vacant, so the two of them had no choice but to ask for a private room.

Si He looked at the menu with great interest, "Cousin, what do you want to eat? We have a lot of signature dishes here."

Her eyes sparkled. Although Ning Ji's cooking was delicious on weekdays, eating in a restaurant was definitely different. She handed him the menu.

He followed her preferences and ordered a few signature dishes, two bowls of rice and a pot of hot tea.

After ordering the dishes, Si He took a look around the restaurant. It was elegantly built and spacious. Each private seat was far apart and separated by screens, providing quite a bit of private space, unlike a noodle shop.

The waiter quickly brought the tea over and poured it for the two of them before leaving. The service was quite good.

Si He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked up at Ning Ji. He was also drinking tea, but still wearing a mask. However, this mask only covered the area below his nose, leaving his mouth exposed so that it would not interfere with eating.

"Cousin, are we going to Stone Village again?"

She didn't ask him what he had done before or where he had been in the afternoon, she only asked about his future plans.

"I'm going there tomorrow. You can stay at the inn."

Hearing him say this, she pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little conflicted. In fact, she really wanted to go with him, but thinking about what happened today, she was afraid of encountering "dirty things" again.

The feeling of fear is not easily overcome.

At this time, a group of people came down from the building and headed straight towards this side.

Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw that it was Sun Qiquan.

He was followed by a group of servants, looking quite impressive.

"Cousin He, what a coincidence."

He smiled gently, his manners were gentlemanly and his demeanor was elegant, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes, although it was not very obvious.

Si He didn't care about his subtle change, she just nodded lightly and was polite.

"Who is this?" Sun Qiquan turned his eyes to Ning Ji and asked with a faint smile.

In this situation, Si He could only introduce their respective identities to the two of them. They were all the same. On the surface, they were both her distant cousins, but one was real and the other fake.

Sun Qiquan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Jie. After a while, he said to her, "You don't mind if I dine with you, do you?"

Si He did not reply to him immediately, but looked at Ning Ji first. If she minded, she could just refuse. Anyway, she was not familiar with this cousin.

Ning Ji also looked at Sun Qiquan, then glanced at the group of servants behind him, and said lightly: "I don't mind."

Sun Qiquan smiled and sat down on a chair nearby. The servants retreated. He unceremoniously picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. "I wonder where Brother Ning is from? Where does he live? I've never met him before."

"I live in a simple house in Gucheng, just a small family." Ning Ji said this, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea calmly.

Hearing this, Sun Qiquan recalled carefully. He went to Gucheng often because the Sun family had property there, but he didn't remember any wealthy family with the surname Ning.

Looking at Ning Ji's attire, Sun Qiquan understood clearly that he was from a small family that was not worth mentioning.

He turned to look at Si He and said with a smile, "If cousin He is staying in Gucheng temporarily, I can make arrangements for you. You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position."

He spoke frankly without any concern for Ning Ji. A small family would naturally not be taken seriously by him.

Ning Ji didn't seem to care about what he said and just drank his tea indifferently.

Si He looked at his slightly arrogant expression and quickly understood the reason for his change of attitude.

As he remembered, Sun Qiquan had always been servile and fawning in front of the Si Mansion because of his identity as a merchant's son. But now that the Si Mansion is gone, he naturally has no scruples. He is so eager to settle her down, just because he is attracted by her good looks.

"Thank you, cousin Quan, for your kindness. Cousin Ning has taken good care of me. I don't feel wronged."

"Cousin He..." Sun Qiquan wanted to continue persuading her, but at this time, the waiter came up with the dishes. He had to stop talking temporarily and asked the waiter to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Several people ate in silence without communicating with each other. The silence at the dinner table was a little strange, unlike other private rooms where people talked and chatted endlessly.

Because of the quietness of this table, I could hear the loud conversations around me.

"Alas! Pengcheng, Xiaoyecheng, and Fuqingcheng have all been lost. The generals guarding this border are truly useless. So many people have been reduced to slavery. It's truly tragic!"
