Scenic Garden was an ancient manor. To enter the garden, one had to buy a ticket.
Qin Shu stood at the entrance of Scenic Garden, holding Boss in her arms as she looked at the message on her phone.
It was just sent.
[ Stranger: Come in alone. ]
She frowned.
Ye Luo walked over with a ticket in his hand.
“I’ll go in alone, please wait for me outside.”
Qin Shu took the ticket from Ye Luo’s hand.
Ye Luo said, “It’s not safe to go in alone.”
Not Safe?
But thinking that he might make a move on Fu Tingyu, she couldn’t bother about that.
“I’ll come out after I have gone in for a walk, it’s just a leisure walk.” Qin Shu raised Boss in her hand and said with a smile, “If there’s an accident, I’ll let him inform you.”
Boss looked at Ye Luo with his eyes wide open, he raised his two sharp claws and looked like he was very powerful as well. “Meow”
Ye Luo was speechless, he looked at Boss’s round little body and was a little worried that he wouldn’t be able to run when the time comes.
Qin Shu carried Boss to the gate counter, handed over the ticket, and walked in.
The garden was famous for its horticulture, which was carefully designed by the horticulturist.
However, what puzzled her was that there were many tourists outside the garden, but there was no one inside the garden.
There was no one in sight along the way.
Boss suddenly moved in her arms, indicating that he wanted to come down.
Qin Shu looked down at Boss and loosened her hands. Boss jumped down from her arms, when he landed, there was no sound at all.
After Boss jumped down, he lifted his head and looked around, then started to trot.
He didn’t run fast, he stopped and looked back at her as if he was waiting for her.
Qin Shu followed him unhurriedly, she looked around as she followed Boss.
They had been walking for quite a while, but there was still no sign of anyone.
Could it be that this place was reserved by that man?
Otherwise, there should be tourists.
On a building not far away, a slender figure stood by the veranda.
Yin Shi held a pot of tea that had just been brewed, two celadon teacups and three plates of pastries were placed on the round table made of solid wood.
He turned to look at his Master standing in front of the veranda, he opened his mouth as if wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything, he turned and left.
Boss ran and played, then he stopped in front of the pavilion and looked up at the pavilion in front of him.
Qin Shu walked to the pavilion and stopped, she raised her head and looked at the pavilion, there were three floors in total.
“Boss, is he in this pavilion?”
The reason why she asked was due to the fact that Boss had met him before, and have spent a few days with him, Boss knew his scent like the back of his hand.
Boss turned and looked at Qin Shu. “Meow”
Qin Shu touched the dagger hid in her sleeve and walked in.
Boss retracted his gaze and trotted in with his four limbs.
After entering, the right side was the stairs that led to the upper floor of the building.
Boss had already gone up the stairs.
Qin Shu hesitated for a moment before stepping up the stairs.
The stairs and handrails were made of wood, due to their age, they looked a little old.
When one stepped on the wooden stairs, they made a “Creak” sound.
After she walked all the way up, Boss stood at the top of the steps, he looked back at Qin Shu, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk on all fours.
After Qin Shu came up, the first thing she saw was a round table made of solid wood, on top of it was a purple clay teapot, the mouth of the teapot was still emitting steam, indicating that it was freshly brewed tea, there were two teacups by its side.
She glanced at the pavilion and saw a slender figure standing in front of the veranda, he was wearing a light gray coat.
The thin figure looked familiar.
The most familiar item was the pure white gauze amid his black hair, the gauze tied behind his head was about a foot long.
When the wind blew, the gauze would float with the wind.
She had never asked the name of the head of the Crimson Sand Organization.
Boss stopped behind the man and called out to the figure, “Meow”
The figure moved and slowly turned, walked over.
Qin Shu looked at him warily. “Why did you want me to come?”
The man sat down at the round table and reached out to pick up the teacups on the tray, he placed one in front of her and the other in front of him. Then he picked up the teapot and filled the two teacups up to the brim without spilling a drop.
Those who didn’t know would think that he could see.
After putting down the teapot, he looked up in Qin Shu’s direction. “Sit down and have a cup of tea with me.”
Qin Shu was a little impatient as she was worried about Fu Tingyu. “I’m not here to have tea.”
The man chuckled. “Then you still have to sit down, aren’t you tired of standing?”
Qin Shu glanced at the round table in front of her, there were four round stools around it, after hesitating for a moment, she walked over and sat opposite the man.
She looked at him warily. “Did you send someone to follow Fu Tingyu?”
“Are you so worried about him?” The man’s voice was indifferent, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea.
Qin Shu said, “It has nothing to do with you.”
The man smiled indifferently and took another sip of tea.
Qin Shu clenched the dagger in her hand. “If you dare to lay your hands on him, I guarantee that you won’t be able to walk out of this building.”
He stopped drinking his tea and looked up at her. “Don’t be nervous. I just want to drink tea with you and chat with you. As for him…
“I won’t touch him.”
Even though the other party’s eyes were blindfolded, Qin Shu felt that he could see her.
It made her inexplicably feel sad.
Maybe it was because she knew that he wouldn’t live long.
As Gu Yan had said that he had been poisoned more than Fu Tingyu, and it had passed a long time, even if there was an antidote, it wouldn’t be able to save him.
She did not let her guard down because of his words, as her man had already been hurt by them once and almost lost his life.
Now that the poison had been detoxified, his martial art strength was gone.
Sensing her nervousness and vigilance, the man smiled. “If I really wanted to touch him, you wouldn’t be able to save him, as for my life, it doesn’t make any difference if it’s a year earlier or later.”
The man spoke as if nothing had happened.
Qin Shu was stunned.
The man said again, “Rather than being on guard against me, why don’t you relax, have some tea, and enjoy the scenery?”
Hearing that, Qin Shu turned to look outside, from this position, she could see the scenery of the Star Lagoon, and the scenery was very beautiful.
She retracted her gaze and glanced at the three plates of pastries in front of her, they were all her favorites, and there was also a pot of tea.
He knew her preferences like the back of his hand.
She raised her head again and sized up the man, this was the second time they had met. Just as before, his eyes were covered with gauze, so no one could see his facial features clearly, and no one knew how he looked like.
She had heard from Gu Yan that his eyes had been injured before, and the medicine he applied was Chinese herbal medicine, which was very helpful in treating blindness.
Now that she thought about it, he was poisoned, and he almost lost sleep because of his injured eyes, he was quite miserable.
After sizing him up for a while, she asked, “What’s your name?”
The man laughed again. “You finally remembered and asked for my name?”
Qin Shu was speechless.
The man poured himself a cup of tea and called out, “Baby..”
