“If you’re not feeling well, tell me in time…” Seeing that she was silent, Qiao Xiyan asked softly, “Huh? Why aren’t you saying anything? Miss…”

He originally wanted to call her Miss Tang, but when he thought of what Song Fengwan had said, he changed his words. “Little Junior Sister.”

Tang Jingci was already so guilty that her heart was pounding wildly. Her heart couldn’t take it at all when he suddenly called her Little Junior Sister.

Her face blushed even more.

“What… did you call me?” “Junior Sister.”

Old Master Qiao had many disciples. Some of them had established their own families, while others had never married or had children their entire lives. Among all the people with children, excluding Little Mr. Yan of the Yan family, Tang Jingci was the youngest, so he should call her Little Junior Sister.

Tang Jingci responded in a muffled voice, but a layer of honey seemed to have covered her heart.

It was sweet.

She wasn’t stupid. She knew very well what she was thinking about Qiao Xiyan.

“Eat.” Qiao Xiyan brought the spoon to her mouth.

Tang Jingci opened her mouth and obediently let him feed her. Because she was wearing sunglasses, she looked at him openly. “Senior Brother…”

“Hmm?”

“That time, was it really your first kiss? Have you never been in a relationship before?” Tang Jingci asked tentatively.

Normally, Qiao Xiyan would only give her a cold look. Considering that she was mentally vulnerable at this moment, he answered her question, “Yes.”

“Why haven’t you gotten into a relationship?”

“I’m busy.” In addition to going to school, he also had to learn to carve. Carving stones and jades wasn’t a day’s work. Other than practicing carving, there was still a lot of knowledge to learn, so he wasn’t free at all.

“Your family didn’t ask you to go on a blind date?”

“Someone from work introduced me to someone before.”

“You’ve worked?” Tang Jingci thought that he had gone back to inherit the family business after graduating

“Yes, I stayed at the museum for half a year. An aunt introduced me to someone. During the blind date, she didn’t say much before asking about my salary and position. She even asked if I had a house in Suzhou. I was poor and only received an internship salary of around three thousand yuan. She didn’t like me.”

“Then, did you like her?” “The aunt kindly introduced her to me, so it wasn’t good to reject her. It was just a meal. I didn’t feel anything,” Qiao Xiyan said casually, obviously not taking this matter to heart. “Her eyesight isn’t good…” “Hmm?”

“I think you’re very good. If it were me, I…” Tang Jingci was anxious to express her opinion.

“What about you?” Qiao Xiyan looked at her in amusement.

“I’m definitely willing,” Tang Jingci said bluntly.

Qiao Xiyan originally wanted to tease her and thought that she had said it without thinking. After all, girls were thin-skinned and too embarrassed to say some things. He didn’t expect her to…

… directly express her stance.

“Let’s eat.” Qiao Xiyan felt uneasy at her willingness. After she ate, Qiao Xiyan carried her to the restroom.

After the door closed, Tang Jingci finally relaxed completely and sat on the toilet dejectedly. What should I do now…

When she went out, Qiao Xiyan also carried her to the bed. She had gone by herself in the room before, and her calf had knocked into many things and gotten bruises.

“Wanwan will come and sleep with you later,” Qiao Xiyan said directly.

“What about you?” Tang Jingci blurted out.

“Me?”

Qiao Xiyan had just placed her on the bed, and their current position was a little ambiguous. He didn’t back away. He just hovered above her body and stared at her.

“I mean, Wanwan’s coming over. You…”

“You want to stay with me?” Qiao Xiyan asked bluntly.

Tang Jingci looked at the person suspended above her in a daze. Her entire body was stiff, and even her breathing became careful.

“I…”

“Go back to your room and sleep tonight. Get Wanwan to help you take a shower. This… It’s not convenient for me to take care of you.”

“Okay.”

After Qiao Xiyan moved away, Tang Jingci heaved a long sigh of relief…

The moment she tilted her head, she saw that a certain someone had started changing again. It seemed like he was going to take a shower!

Oh my god!

Qiao Xiyan, are you mysophobic? How many times do you have to shower a day?

Qiao Xiyan thought that Tang Jingci couldn’t see, so he naturally had no qualms about taking off his clothes. But when his fingers touched his belt, he frowned slightly. He kept feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

He subconsciously looked at Tang Jingci. She was leaning against the head of the bed, as quiet as a doll.

Qiao Xiyan frowned. I’m probably thinking too much.

With his upper body bare, he went straight into the bathroom. Soon after, the sound of running water came…

Tang Jingci’s ears were completely red.

When Song Fengwan packed a few pieces of clothes from the dormitory and came over, it was already past eight in the evening.

When she knocked on Qiao Xiyan’s door, he was carving a stone with a carving knife. A Deyunshe crosstalk compilation was on TV. Song Fengwan’s mouth twitched.

Fu Chen liked to listen to opera, but Song Fengwan wasn’t a fan, so he never forced her to listen to opera with him. The two of them had their own interests and hobbies, and they didn’t interfere with each other.

Cousin is forcing his hobbies and interests onto others. He’s too domineering.

“Big Sister Tang, I brought you bubble tea.” Song Fengwan inserted the straw and placed the cup in Tang Jingci’s hand.

“Thank you.” Tang Jingci had almost subconsciously reached out to take the bubble tea. Fortunately, Song Fengwan had moved faster.

“Cousin, can we change the channel?”

Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows and changed the channel.

Central TV Channel 12, a law program.

Tang Jingci, wearing sunglasses, caught a glimpse of the title of this episode. (A Murder Caused By a Lie).

“Ahem—”A tapioca pearl got stuck in her throat, choking her until her face turned red.

“What’s wrong? It doesn’t taste good?” Song Fengwan looked at her worriedly.

“N-nothing.” Tang Jingci subconsciously wanted to wipe her mouth with the tissue on the bedside table. She reached out her fingers and stopped…

… because Qiao Xiyan was looking at her.

She braced herself, pretended to be blind, and fumbled around. In the end, Song Fengwan handed her a tissue.

“Don’t drink the bubble tea.” Qiao Xiyan frowned. Why did she choke?

“It’s delicious.” Tang Jingci took a few more sips. But Song Fengwan had bought a big cup. She had drunk a big bowl of soup before, so she really couldn’t drink anymore.

At this moment, in the law program, someone was saying… “Because of this lie, it caused the tragedy of several people. It even made someone brandish a knife at their lover. The method of killing was extremely cruel and bloody…

Tang Jingci watched as Qiao Xiyan faced the table lamp and carved on the stone. Occasionally, he blew at the dust on it. The carving movements were slow, but his hand was forceful and carved deep cuts.

Her back felt a chill

“I’ll take you back to your room.” Qiao Xiyan put down the carving knife in his hand and washed his hands.

In front of Song Fengwan, he carried Tang Jingci in his arms with ease, and a certain someone naturally hugged his neck…

Seeing this, Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. These two people were hugging each other silently. They were so skillful that it made her hair stand on end.

After sending them to Tang Jingci’s room, Qiao Xiyan said, “I won’t turn off my phone. If anything happens, look for me anytime.” Although Tang Jingci couldn’t see, current phones all had voice recognition and calling functions. This was what Duan Linbai had said. A certain someone was very experienced and had even brought the blind cane he had used before. But Tang Jingci didn’t want to use it. “Okay.” Tang Jingci nodded.

Qiao Xiyan returned to his room, lifted the blanket, and lay down…

The blanket still had her warmth, and even the pillow had her fragrance. He frowned slightly, feeling that this was no longer his bed.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the half-finished cup of bubble tea on the bedside table.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up, put it to his mouth, and took a sip…

Red bean bubble tea.

It was very sweet.

After Qiao Xiyan left, Song Fengwan locked the door from the inside. “Big Sister Tang, where are your clothes? I’ll help you shower first!”

Tang Jingci sat up on the bed. “I’ll do it myself…”

Song Fengwan stood rooted to the floor in a daze.

Her expression was as though she had seen a ghost!
