79. The Duke's Wish(1/3)

Zhou Qi almost never touched the food in front of him.

She took a small sip of wine, but it was really a little bit rare.

Because when I picked up the cup, the duke sitting at the head of the table looked at her very strangely.

What's the weirdness?

It was as if he didn't want to see it, but his eyes were out of control and he insisted on turning it around...

There is a very uncoordinated sense of stiffness.

After just one look, he continued to talk to the two candidates around him with a smile.

But Zhou Qi was so scared.

As soon as her lips were stained with liquid, she hurriedly put the cup off.

The dinner ends at 10 o'clock in the evening.

The male servant led the way in front and led the guests back to the room. Zhou Qi was a little absent-minded along the way.

"Xiao Zhou, are you okay? Why is your face so bad?" Zhao Jiatong asked worriedly.

"You can still see her face "color" when you are blocking the mask?" Gao Qi was addicted to alcohol and drank his tongue widened again.

"You can't tell if your lips are white?" Zhao Jiatong arched him away, "You go."

You "huo", Qin Jue walked in front and turned to look at him after hearing this.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Qi hesitated for a few seconds.

A very ridiculous thought came to her mind - the Duke just looked at her, as if reminding her not to drink.

But this is really ridiculous.

As the title NPC, the Duke is really not like a good person. Will he give her such a reminder? Even if he really gives her a reminder, will he only remind her?

What kind of virtue does she have? It doesn't make sense.

Moreover, the big guys in front of him have a casual attitude towards food and wine. They eat it after eating. They may have rich experience and strong strength, so they don’t care whether there is any problem.

Gao Qi drank a lot.

At this time, I told them that there might be something wrong with drinking, isn’t that disgusting?

Zhou Qi swallowed the words again, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just don't like this place. I feel uncomfortable after staying for a long time, and I'm a little scared."

Yang Shu is cold and unlucky, and the blocked keyword * says: "If you don't eat or drink, you're hungry."

Zhou Qi thought I wasn't too hungry...

But she didn't want to mess with this arrogant young lady, so she nodded and said, "Maybe."

Zhao Jiatong kicked Gao Qi: "Didn't you go to the resting place before you come? Have you bought some food?"

"No." Gao Qi "touched out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and said innocently: "I bought this one."

"...I want you to be useless." Zhao Jiatong said: "It's both wine and cigarettes. Can you have the same good habit?"

Gao Qi was used to being nagged by her and was not angry. He just raised his hand and surrendered and said, "Okay, I won't slap, okay?"

He said, stuffing the cigarette into Youhuo's pocket.

"Here, I'll give it to you."

You "Huo": "I don't smoke."

Gao Qi took out the lighter again and stuffed it over: "I have never seen you smoke, but aren't you always used to bringing a pack when you are invigilating the exam?"

"Why?" Zhao Jiatong was very curious.

Although they were once people who followed the examiner A, not everyone was as familiar with A.

Anyway, Zhao Jiatong was a little afraid of him before. She was curious, but she was afraid.

Gao Qi replied from the side, "I don't know why."

He said, and secretly glanced at the examiner a himself.

You "Huo" didn't raise his head.

Gao Qi spread his hands to Zhao Jiatong and said with a lip: Stop asking, I probably forgot why.

So it's really impossible to say that your brain is broken.

Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong sighed regretfully.

You "Huo" pinched the lighter and was about to put it in his pocket when two slender fingers suddenly reached out to the side, clamped the lighter and pulled it away.

Just looking at your hands, you know that it was Qin Jue.

"What are you doing?" You "Huo" asked.

"I'm a little curious, borrow it and take a look."

Qin Jue walked side by side with him, pivoted the lighter between his fingers, and suddenly asked, "Is anyone who used to borrow fire from you?"

Maybe his voice was too low, or maybe he was very close.

You "Huo" felt a move in his heart, as if something that was almost forgotten was brought up by someone, and suddenly he had a glimmer of impression.

He looked at the gadget in Qin Jue's hand: "How do you know?"

"Because you asked me if you smoke."

Qin Jue said, looking up at him.

You "Huo" was quiet for a moment, and pulled the lighter back and put it in your pocket: "You said you don't."

Qin Jue stopped, and You "Huo" didn't stop, and he walked in front of him in a blink of an eye.

Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong were up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you stopping this?"

Qin Jue rubbed his empty fingertips and looked up and said, "It's nothing, I've thought about something."

"What's the matter?" Gao Qi turned around and looked around: "Have you discovered something?"

"It has nothing to do with the exam." Qin Zuo paused and said, "A little private matter."

***

The Duke's wine has the best sleep effect.

After returning to the house, everyone quietly changed the room and soon became sleepy.

In the middle of the night, the castle was silent.

The butler Douglas stood in front of the door of a room on the second floor with a lamp in his hand, knocking it a few times.

After a while, the door was opened.

The man grabbed his hair and asked sleepyly, "Who--"

The old butler's flesh drooped and his face was old. The light of the oil lamp shone on his face from bottom to top, scaring the doorman and shaking, and completely awakening.

He is nothing else, he is Zhang Pengyi who was late for the dinner before.

"Super, Mr. Butler?"

Douglas nodded and said, "Sorry, sir, I've disturbed you to sleep."

Zhang Pengyi rubbed his face hard, his fingers trembling gently.

He doesn't want to sleep.

The Duke's question at the dinner scared him. He and Jiajia were both afraid and had no plans to sleep at all, but they fell asleep for no reason and now they are awake.

"Is there anything...is there anything wrong?" Zhang Pengyi glanced into the room.

It was strange that when he woke up, Jia Jia still slept very heavily.

This was not the case before, and he would wake up even if he turned over.

Douglas said slowly, "I don't know if you still remember it. The Duke said that there is something to ask you for your evening."

Just like this, Zhang Pengyi's bladder became swelling.

"Can you be the day tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, I think you'd better go there now."

Zhang Pengyi glanced at the corridor again.

There were obviously many people living in the castle, but it was very quiet now.

I can't hear people's words or snore.

He remembered the Duke's reminder at the dinner party, as if all those who lived here would automatically fall asleep at night.

Not only that, the servants guarding outside the door during the day were nowhere to be seen.

Most of the wall fires in the corridor were extinguished, leaving only the light shaking in the old butler's hand.
