God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Chapter 189 Cannon Fodder in the Imperial Examination 12

Chu Yueheng naturally didn't feel the strange atmosphere, she had always been quiet when eating since she was a child. But she was particularly happy today, there were so many people sitting with her to eat, instead of her sitting alone to eat, and a group of people standing and watching her eat.

"You guys, why aren't you talking?" Wen Yuqin muttered in a low voice. He had already finished eating a big pork elbow, why was no one talking? Wasn't there one person with a louder voice just now?

Jiang Suining was speechless and rolled his eyes at the idiot from a distance.

Although Wen Yuqin's name is like Wen Zou Zou, he is actually a martial artist. He learned the same martial arts as Jiang Suining in the academy, but he did not practice swordsmanship. He was very good at using the red tassel spear and it was said that he started practicing since he was four years old.

He noticed that Jiang Suining disappeared during breaks every day, so he followed him curiously. Over time, because of his honest and humorous personality, he gradually became a member of Zining's study group.

"Knock-"

"Brother, look, my second sister has made the snack you mentioned. I brought it over!"

After there was a knock on the door, the door was opened and Xie Jia walked in carefully with the birthday cake in both hands, afraid of accidentally knocking over the cake.

Zi Ning looked at the ancient version of the simple birthday cake and couldn't help but marvel at it. It was really well made. Xie Pei's hands-on ability was really good. He just simply gave a simple oral instruction, but he was able to achieve this level.

Zining quickly walked forward, took the cake from Xiao Xiejia's hand and placed it in the middle of the table.

"Wow, Brother Xie, what kind of dessert is this? I've never seen it before." Wu Kaiyang curiously stepped forward to observe the cake.

Wen Yuqin also came forward and put a hand on Wu Kaiyang's back, "Could this fresh snack be the new dish of Zhaixinglou next month?"

Although Chu Yueheng was also very curious, she had never seen this dessert before, but she did not stand up. She still sat upright in her seat, staring at the cake in the center of the table with sparkling eyes.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Zi Ning moved up the wishing and cake-cutting session and quickly cut the cake and distributed it to everyone present.

“Mm~ delicious!”

"Xie brother, can you ask your second sister to make one for me on my birthday?"

"Don't even think about it!" Du Zhuo refused on behalf of his wife.

Because of a fresh snack, everyone no longer cared about Chu Yueheng's uninvited arrival, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Xie Jia sat on Zining's lap and was very obedient when she was fed. Her big, sparkling eyes were fixed on Chang Lingjie who was sitting opposite Zining.

Zi Ning followed his sister's gaze and couldn't help but sigh at Chang Lingjie's appearance.

He was a gentleman like jade, gentle and modest. At a young age, he already had the feeling of a dashing young man. He was talking to Ouyang Fu beside him, gently waving the fan in his hand, looking up and smiling faintly, handsome and unparalleled.

He seemed to notice Xiao Xie Jia's gaze and gave him a friendly smile, then went back to talking to Ouyang Fu.

Little Xie Jia was still a little kid, and he was full in a short while. He climbed off Zi Ning's knees and went out to play.

When the moon was up above the willows, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and bowed to each other goodbye.

Jiang Suining waited until everyone left and did not go home. He insisted on following Zining back to Xie's house.

"This is for you. I wish you a happy birthday, all your wishes come true, and a bright future." He took out an exquisite box. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to notice the faint blush on his face.

"What's this?" Zi Ning was flattered. He was usually taciturn, so he was not used to his sudden sentimentality. Moreover, Zi Ning seemed to have seen him put the birthday gift in the pile of gifts just now, so why was there another one?

When Zi Ning opened it, he found that it was actually a piece of beautiful jade with lotus leaves and koi carved on it, which looked lifelike.

The meaning is very good.

"Thank you! But, this couldn't have been carved by you yourself." Zining noticed scratches on Jiang Suining's fingers a few days ago. She thought they were caused by sword practice, but she didn't expect it was caused by overexerting when carving.

"Well. There is a beautiful jade in the storeroom at home. I thought it suits you very well, so I brought it here." Jiang Suining was taller than Zining. He raised his head slightly and turned it aside, not daring to look directly into Zining's eyes. Perhaps at this moment, his feet might be digging the ground.

"Thank you. Is your hand okay?" Zining tied the jade pendant to his belt, then pulled Jiang Suining's hands over to look at them.

"Hmm, it doesn't look that deep, so there's no need to apply medicated oil."

"You, what's the matter with two men pulling each other like that?" Jiang Suining seemed to be not used to close contact with others, and he shyly took his hand back.

However, his eyes were always glancing at the jade pendant on Zining's waist, and he was very happy.

Hearing this, Zining was happy, "How old are you, and you're already a man. Come on, sleep with me tonight, and let me see tomorrow morning if you are really a man."

Zining pulled Jiang Suining into the house.

Jiang Suining did not shirk his responsibility. After all, no one in the Jiang family cared about him. Even if he died outside, no one would know about it for a year or two.

The days repeated themselves dully, and Zining's focus was still on studying and preparing for the imperial examinations.

"Hey, Master Chen, will he never come again?"

"I don't know, maybe I'll come back later?"

"I don't know which teacher will take over his class."

After school, Zining and his classmates walked out of the academy in a group. After saying goodbye, everyone went home.

"Sanlang! Sanlang, something bad has happened! My little sister is missing, she has been kidnapped!" As soon as Zining left the academy, Xie Pei ran over crying.

"Yes, young master, a waiter from Leyang Restaurant came over and told us that he saw someone kidnap Xiaojia and run away. Manager Xin has already gone to chase them. What should we do now?" The waiter from Zhaixing Tower came with Xie Pei and explained what happened.

"What! Xiaojia is missing!" Zi Ning became anxious when he heard this.

No, he had to stay calm. She was the backbone of the Xie family. He couldn't fall down, and he couldn't panic.

"Did you see the person clearly? Which way did he run to? Where is the waiter from Leyang Restaurant now?" Zi Ning took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked while chasing after the waiter from Zhaixing Tower.

"No, the man had his face covered. The guy said he looked unfamiliar and they had never seen him in the west of the city. He ran into the alley and disappeared in a flash." The guy left limited clues, so we had to report to the police immediately.

The man ran into the alley, and it was obvious that he was familiar with the alleys on the west side of the city. It was likely that he was someone nearby, but the possibility of a human trafficker could not be ruled out.

"Don't worry, Brother Xie, we will all help look for him." Chang Lingjie and others came back. They had just heard the news that Xie Jia was missing.

"Qingfeng, go home and call everyone to go look for Xiaojia." Chang Lingjie turned around and instructed the servant behind him.
