Chapter 759
759 The dowry
“Big brother, is that you?”
In her dream, Xia Ning saw Xia ping ‘an again and she became excited.
The scene in the dream was the room that the siblings rented in Xiang He city. Everything in the room was the same as before. Although poor, it was full of warmth. In the living room, there were a few oil paintings by Xia Ning. The Golden sunlight shone in from the window, making the house seem exceptionally peaceful in the dream.
Xia Ning didn’t know why she was here, but after she fell asleep, she opened her eyes and saw this familiar scene, as well as Xia Pingan, who was standing in front of her and smiling at her.
“You’re already a young lady, why are you still crying?”
Xia Ning was bawling her eyes out, but Xia Pingan was smiling. Just like before, he reached out his hand and rubbed Xia Ning’s hair affectionately.
brother, don’t go. Let’s go back to Xiang He. I don’t want anything. I don’t want to learn how to draw anymore. I don’t want to be an artist anymore. I just want to be an ordinary person. Don’t leave me, Yingluo. Xia Ning cried as she hugged Xia Pingan tightly. Even in her dreams, she couldn’t bear to part with this moment of warmth.
silly girl, I’ve never left you, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said to Xia Ning. it’s just that my situation is very special. It’s hard to explain it to you in such a short time. You’re in a dream right now, and it’s best for me to meet you in a dream. I know you’re worried about me, but what I want to tell you is that you don’t have to worry about me. Your brother is more powerful than anyone else now. I can take good care of myself, and you have to take good care of yourself too. That way, I won’t have to worry about you!
don’t worry, brother. I’ll take good care of Yingluo. Xia Ning was still hugging Xia Pingan tightly and buried her head in his chest. are you really okay? ”
“Of course, you don’t have to go around and ask about me. I’m doing very well on a top-secret mission, or else I wouldn’t be able to meet you in my dreams. Although that Wang tongqing is a little weak, he’s quite reliable, and he’s barely qualified to be my brother-in-law. If he dares to bully you in the future, you can tell the old man, and the old man will give him a good beating.”
ah, you know he’s mumbling. even in her dream, Xia Ning still felt an inexplicable shock.
“Of course, I’ve told you that I’ve never left you. I’m very happy to see you have your own life. You should also have your own life, career and family. However, for your safety, you’d better not let others know that I can still contact you. Otherwise, it’s not good for you and the people around you. Am I clear?”
Xia Ning nodded and stammered,
I’ll ask someone to send you a gift. After you get up tomorrow morning, go to white bird café on the street downstairs. In private Room No. 7 of the café, there are white roses on the table. There’s a man who will give you my gift. Take it as your dowry and gift from me!
“Brother, what’s that?”
“You’ll know when you get there, Yingluo.”
……
Xia Ning didn’t know when she had woken up. When she woke up, she realized that her pillow was a little wet. She looked at the alarm clock by the bed and saw that it was pointing at 7:40.
Last night’s dream was too real. In the dream, Xia Ning pulled Xia Pingan aside and said a lot of things to him. The siblings seemed to have returned to the past. Without realizing it, they woke up from the dream.
Xia Ning knew about the white bird teahouse. It was a high-end coffee shop that was just 200 meters below her apartment, next to Central Park. She had been there before, so she was not unfamiliar with it.
Was everything in the dream real? Xia Ning didn’t know
However, when Xia Ning woke up and thought about the dream last night, she had an urge to go to the hundred birds café to see Yingluo.
……
At 8:20 am, at the white bird café near the Central Park of the capital, the doorbell rang. Xia Ning, who was dressed in a wine-red skirt, a plaid coat, and a tight black sweater, walked in with a bag in her hand. She was dressed simply, elegantly, and beautifully.
There weren’t many people in the cafe. In the lobby and the seats, there were a few people drinking coffee and eating breakfast. Everyone had their heads raised and were focused on the morning news of the country of fire.
Usually, political news would not be broadcasted in such a place. The soothing and quiet classical music was more suitable for this place. However, the situation in mozhou province in the country of fire had affected the hearts of everyone on this planet. The zombie tide in mozhou province had been eliminated, and it was said that the country of fire’s Army had already recovered the capital of mozhou province, Nan ‘an City. The order Committee had found a way to control the zombie tide, and Xia Ning had seen the Army’s tanks and armored vehicles entering Nan an City yesterday.
Such exciting news shook the world. Even in the capital, it was a hot topic. Not only in the coffee shops here, but on the public buses, subways, and small taverns on the side of the road, people were all talking about mozhou province.
Everyone in the café was watching and listening to the news on TV.
A waiter in a white shirt and vest looked away from the TV when he heard the doorbell ring. He walked over to Xia Ning and asked respectfully, ” miss, what would you like to order? ”
Xia Ning’s eyes scanned the cafe and said calmly, ” I’m meeting a friend in private room 7, Yingluo.
Oh, okay. Room 7 is upstairs. It’s already taken. Do you need me to take you there? ”
Xia Ning’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that private room 7 was already occupied. However, she remained calm on the surface. no need, I’ll go over myself!
The shiny marble stairs were right in front of her, so Xia Ning went straight up to the second floor. The second floor was filled with private rooms, quiet and quiet, close to the Central Park. Xia Ning soon arrived at the door of private Room No. 7. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
A man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the private room, looking at the pigeons in the Central Park. When she saw the man’s side profile, Xia Ning was a little disappointed. This man was not her brother, Xia Pingan, but someone else. However, when Xia Ning’s gaze fell on the white roses in the vase on the table in the private room, her heart suddenly hung in the air. She was so excited that she felt a little dizzy.
There was really someone here, and there were really white roses on the table. The dream last night was real.
“Is that Xia Ning?” Xia Pingan had already turned around and looked at Xia Ning. He smiled and said, ” please take a seat.
“And you are?” Xia Ning closed the door and walked in. She was a little excited and a little alert.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, it’s safe here, don’t worry, I was entrusted by someone, the person who entrusted me trusted me and asked me to bring you something. You should already know who brought it to you, Hanhan”
“He ran ran, is he okay?” Xia Ning’s voice trembled a little and tears were already flowing out of her eyes.
“He’s very good, much better than you think!”
“Then why didn’t he come?”
because he can’t always be by your side to protect you. The world he’s facing is more complex than you can imagine. Keeping an appropriate distance from you is actually a kind of protection for you!
“What did he ask you to bring me?”
“Let’s sit down and talk, Yingluo.”
Xia Ning nodded, walked over, and sat down. Xia Pingan walked over as well. With a gentle wave of her hand, a box appeared on the table. The box opened and inside was a set of exquisite and luxurious jewelry. The jewelry was divided into six pieces: a ring, two bracelets, a necklace, and two brooches.
The jewelries were made of gold and silver, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, which looked pretty delicate and luxurious. However, what was special about them was not their raw materials, but their shapes. The ring was a small snake inlaid with diamonds; the two bracelets were snake-shaped; each bracelet was made of a gold snake and a silver snake; the necklace was like an angel’s unfolded wing; the two brooches were butterfly-shaped and Spider-shaped respectively.
“What are these things?” Xia Ning was stunned. She did not expect to see some jewelry.
prick your finger and drip a drop of blood on each piece of jewelry. Then, you’ll know, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said as he handed over a silver needle.
Xia Ning glanced at Xia ping ‘an and took the silver needle. After a slight hesitation, she pricked her finger and let her blood drip onto the six pieces of jewelry.
As her blood dripped down, Xia Ning’s heart skipped a beat. She saw that her blood was absorbed by the six pieces of jewelry in the blink of an eye. She thought that she was seeing things. How could metals and gems possibly absorb blood? however, the next second, she saw the butterfly-shaped brooch fly up like a butterfly and land on her clothes in front of her chest. She then pinned it on herself.
The spider-shaped brooch also quickly crawled over and burrowed into her clothes.
The gold and silver Snakes on the two bracelets moved as well. After they separated, they quickly slithered around and climbed onto Xia Ning’s wrists, wrapping themselves back into the bracelet.
The necklace that looked like an angel’s wing opened up and fell on Xia Ning’s neck, then gently closed.
Xia Ning was extremely shocked. Even though she had some understanding of the profession of a Summoner, she had never seen or heard of these things before. However, as soon as those things came close to her, Xia Ning felt at ease. It was a warm feeling of being protected. This feeling was as if Xia Pingan was by her side.
from today onwards, you are the owner of these things. These things were created by the person who asked me to come here using a secret method. In the future, no matter where you go, as long as you carry any of these things with you, they will protect you, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said. With a move of his hand, he had already taken out a bank card. this bank card is made under your name. There are two billion euros in it. It is the dowry that person gave you. He wants you to live well, Yingluo.”
Looking at these things, Xia Ning couldn’t hold it in anymore. Like a little girl, she burst into tears and cried.
