I Am The Third Party (GL) - Chapter 32

I once asked Xiao Xuewu, “Why did your parents give you that name?”

She simply replied, “I named you that myself.”

At the time, I was truly baffled: Why was Xiao Xuewu’s way of speaking so difficult to understand? No one gets their own name; it’s always given by their elders. It’s no wonder I didn’t understand. Without knowing the full story (and I only knew a little from the brief time I spent with Qi Xi, and I wasn’t even sure if Xiao Xuewu was related to Qi Xi’s father and his family), I doubt anyone would have understood the true meaning of her words. I always thought that Xiao Xuewu was playing tricks on me, using an indifferent and mysterious way to perfunctory me, so I ignored the original literal meaning of her words. She said “I called myself that” not as a joke, but wanted to convey to me “The name my parents gave me was not ‘Xiao Xuewu’, ‘Xiao Xuewu’ is the name I gave myself.

If Xiao Xuewu gave herself this name because she saw these four sentences containing “Snow Wind and White Bird”, then she must be closely related to one of Teuvo and Qi Baixun, but she is a mixed-race, and it is obvious that she has Finnish ancestry, so she must be from Teuvo.

If Xiao Xuewu’s name is not her real name, then what is her real name? What is her relationship with Teuvo? And…

Who is Asta, the current president of Lumikki who has never appeared so far?

I felt a dull pain in my hand, Qi Xi squeezed me tightly, his eyes narrowed and long, a lurking leopard is just like this.

“You are so old, stop playing word games. It’s just two identical characters in the name, how could there be so many coincidences.” I smiled and put the photo and letter paper into the envelope, then asked Qi Xi, “Are you going to take it back?”

Qi Xi leaned forward and opened his mouth to say something, but after hearing what I said, he swallowed it back and put the envelope back into the safe and pushed it under the bed.

She pulled me up and spread out her hands, with Yuebai still lying quietly in her palms.

“Why don’t you want it?” she asked me.

I shrugged, picked up the phone on the table and turned off the light. There was still one bar of battery left. I put the phone in my trouser pocket, picked up the cleaning coat, shook off the dust, and put it on.

“Even if I get promoted from ‘nanny’ to ‘part-time nanny warming the bed and flirting with the target’, I still can’t pay off your rent and store protection fees. If I take such expensive earrings from you, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to pay them off in this lifetime. “I turned my upper body, looked back at her lightly, and sighed to myself.

“Little fairy–“

“You are not afraid of making such a fuss in other people’s companies. You are really careless. There is no heating here. I am almost frozen to death. Let’s go, let’s go!”

I didn’t want to listen to her. I pulled her hand and bent my fingers, trying to pass them through her fingers, as if I could hold her tight and hold time tight.

I quickened my pace, closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I was surrounded by the brightness of lights and the sun. It was so beautiful, but I only felt a slight sadness.

After trying many times, I gave up. I just held her hand, nothing else. If

you hold time tight, can you hold some people tight?

Qiao Xianyu, don’t be naive.

At the fork in the road leading to the fire escape and the elevator, I stopped abruptly.

What should I do?

I stared blankly at two different directions, my eyes full of confusion.

Qi Xi suddenly clasped my five fingers. I hesitated for a long time and finally gave up, but she did it easily.

“Come with me. “

She held my hand and pulled me into the elevator, pressed the button for the basement floor, and the elevator slowly descended. A few people came in from the middle and looked at us strangely, but said nothing. Qi Xi looked at me twice, and as soon as I noticed her gaze, I looked up and smiled at her. It was probably very silly. No matter when, I look silly when I smile, no matter how I dress, I look silly. Unlike Yan Sinan, no matter how she smiles, she is so beautiful and elegant.

The basement floor is very empty, with only a few cars parked sparsely. I can still name the cars on the basement floor, but I don’t recognize any of the cars on this floor, and there are also convertibles, as long as dachshunds. A man

walked out of the shadows on the side. The person was Ah Xiang. He had changed back into his original clothes and put on his baseball cap and the small iron ring. He walked steadily to Qi Xi and called him “Young Master”. Then he handed a large paper bag to me. When I opened it, I saw the clothes and bag that I had thrown into the trash can. I took off my cleaning clothes and put on my coat. As soon as I looked up, a strong light shone in. I quickly raised my hand to block it.

After I got used to the strong light, I let go and looked. A silver car with a long and square front and a logo that looked like a bird with its wings spread out was slowly approaching with two headlights on. The driver was a foreign man with golden hair.

The car slowly drove past us. I looked up. I craned my neck to look at the back seat of the car. The windows were closed and I couldn’t see inside clearly. I could only vaguely see a woman wearing a maid’s hat sitting near us. She looked a bit like the maid who called Jorma away.

I was still standing there in a daze. Qi Xi grabbed me and hid behind a wall pillar. Ah Xiang also reacted immediately and dodged behind another wall pillar, sticking his head out to look at the silver car.

The car stopped at the parking space in the middle of the parking lot. The door on one side was opened first, and a blonde woman in a maid dress got out. She was holding a fur coat in her arms and followed the driver to the other side. As soon as the driver opened the car door, the maid hurried over and put the fur coat on the person getting out of the car. On someone.

I was just wondering who was in this car, so awesome that he needed two people to serve him when he got off the car, when I saw a woman with a fair face, light blonde curly hair, a pure white ribbon tied at the end of her hair, and a long apricot-white tasseled dress. She put on a fur coat given by the maid and strode towards the elevator we had just walked out of. However, she did not enter the elevator we had just been in, but stopped in front of another door not far from the elevator. The maid hurried forward and pressed her fingerprint, and the door opened. It was a gorgeously decorated elevator with a crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling. The driver stopped and bowed slightly, watching the woman walk into the elevator, and the two doors slowly closed.

“A Xiang! “Qi Xi shouted.

I turned around and saw Qi Xi glaring at A Xiang fiercely, almost furious.

A Xiang was stunned, then his face flushed, his legs softened and he immediately knelt in front of Qi Xi, “Young Master, we brothers have really been following that Xiao. We haven’t closed our eyes in the past few days. We follow her wherever she goes. We haven’t done anything wrong, but we didn’t find that there is anything wrong with her!”

“What you said is useless!”

Qi Xi raised his leg to kick A Xiang with red eyes. Without thinking, I ran up and hugged her and backed away, asking A Xiang, “You follow her every day? Where does she live? “

When she was at USTC, Xiao Xuewu would run to work every morning and occasionally ride a bike. I always thought her home was close to USTC, but after she moved to the city, she also walked back. Zhaowen Street was a long way from USTC. She walked home from USTC and also walked home from Zhaowen Street. It turns out her home was a mobile car. She just pointed to where she wanted to go, the wheels started, and it arrived there with a whoosh.

“We follow her every day. She goes back to Babylon Garden at night,” Ah Xiang replied quickly.

I thought for a moment and said, “Babylon Garden, the villa complex on the Green Heart Lake in the south of the city?”

“Yes.” Ah Xiang nodded.

I let out a breath. “When I was in college, I had a classmate whose family was very rich and lived there. One time, he showed off his family’s wine collection, saying it was from his cellar, and he also boasted about the basement of Babylon Garden. From the ground, each villa seems independent, but some basements are connected by secret passages that even the owners themselves may not know about. Those villas with secret passages will be sold to those who need them.”

As I said that, I glanced at Qi Xi. She lowered her head and seemed to be deep in thought. I guessed I would let her go when she calmed down. Sure enough, she was not angry with A Xiang anymore. I continued, “Maybe she contacted Lumikki through the secret passage in the basement and went out from another villa. It’s normal that you didn’t find out.”

Qi Xi chuckled, “In other words, that woman not only found out that I sent people to follow her, but also used the same trick to make me follow her. She was fooling me like a clown, thinking I was an idiot?”

Aren’t you an idiot?

I didn’t want to pay attention to Qi Xi and A Xiang anymore, so I let them quarrel. Qi Xi’s anger had subsided anyway, and she was just a little bit angry, but she still had a good heart, especially towards those brothers who were loyal to her. She wouldn’t really hit A Xiang, at most she would just scold him.

But there was one thing I couldn’t understand, who exactly was Xiao Xuewu, and was she really that important?

She’s a bit of an arty type, enjoying reading, flipping through art books, copying down little poems, and listening to folk music. She’s meticulous about selecting coffee beans, knows a lot about coffee, and grinds it expertly. Every month, she takes the salary I give her—which, ever since I saw her get off the car so impressively, makes me cringe at the thought—and prepares a surprise gift for me. She’s beautiful, well-educated, elegant, and pure. So wonderful! She’s my cash cow.

It doesn’t matter if she’s high-ranking, wealthy, or just some ordinary Xiao Xuewu who works in my shop, right?

But can anyone explain why Qi Xi cares so much about her?

Fortunately, my doubts didn’t last long; that very evening, Qi Xi gave me the answer.

“That woman showed up at the exact time I was kicked out by Qi Chen. Because of my father’s feud with Teuvo, Qi’s company has never had any dealings with Lumikki. My father is one, and so am I, but Qi Chen is a different story. That woman must be a core figure in Lumikki, at least holding the majority of the shares. She came to City A and wanted to cooperate with Qi’s company. Only Qi Chen, that pig, would agree to it. For a little money, she didn’t even consider her own weight and threw herself into the trap! This contract today is clearly a gift from Lumikki to… “Qi’s ‘welcome gift,’ and that idiot Qi Xi actually asked for continued cooperation!”

I shook my head, thinking that Qi Xi only had witty words when he was cursing. I made her a cup of milk cocoa. “Are you finished?”

Qi Xi narrowed her eyes. “Kiss me and I’m done.”

I leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth. “You’re done? If you keep whining, I’ll have to sleep on the couch.”

Qi Xi grabbed me and tucked me into bed, laughing. “No more whining! Warm the bed!”

I was speechless, wondering how this person could be so childish. How had I ended up falling for her?

Feeling the warmth of the person next to me, a thought suddenly struck me. I wondered if Qi Xi and Yan Sinan were like this when they slept together. Would Yan Sinan also find Qi Xi childish?

I probably will never know the answers to these questions. I laughed to myself and closed my eyes, falling asleep.

——————————————————–

After the New Year, I went to work. As soon as I walked in, Yuzi rushed over to tell me that Xiao Xuewu had resigned.

Sure enough, she saw us that day.

That was good, it saved us some embarrassment.

I patted Yuzai’s shoulder. Knowing he really liked Xiao Xuewu and that she must be sad to see him go, I comforted him, “It’s okay, we’ll see each other again. We’re short again, so I guess I’ll be busy these next few days.” “

Boss, this is Sister Xuewu’s resignation letter.” Xiaoyu, wearing an apron, trotted over and handed me a snow-white envelope with a dove print.

“Got it, get busy.”

I took the envelope, walked into the workshop, closed the door, and sat in the corner. Outside the window, Yuzai was wiping the table, and Xiaoyu was making milk tea for a couple. No one noticed me.

I held the envelope in my hand, rubbing it back and forth across the white paper. I opened it and expected a few pages of written notes, but it turned out to be an invitation.

I recognized the handwriting on the card; its owner had written me a poem just a few months ago.

“Dear Ms. Qiao Xianyu, I will be hosting a personal dance party at the VR Royal Hotel on March 12th. I hope you can attend.” I believe the magic of the fairy will make the desolate Asta bloom with bright roses. Beautiful fairy, I am looking forward to your arrival. – Asta.

I closed the card and leaned it against my chest. A breath rose in my chest, but I couldn’t breathe in time. It felt like a lump in my throat.

In a snowy world, must Asta be there? Where Asta is, must it be desolate?

I still don’t understand Xiao Xuewu. No, maybe there will be no Xiao Xuewu in the future, only Asta.
