Each world be

"Grandpa, I wish you happiness as long as the East China Sea and longevity as the Nanshan Mountain."

On the night of the birthday party, Shi Qing held up a long, exquisite box and handed it over, smiling very gently.

Mr. Jiang, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, took it cheerfully, "Xia girl is here, what surprise are you going to prepare for an old man like me this time?"

Xia Qingqing smiled slyly, not at all like the aloof goddess she usually was at school, "Grandpa Jiang, please open it and see if you like it."

"Okay." Mr. Jiang squinted his eyes and slowly opened them, his eyes brightening, "Xia girl is really thoughtful, I like it very much."

He laughed out loud and revealed the gift in his hand.

It is an authentic calligraphy work by an ancient celebrity.

It is in line with Mr. Jiang's aesthetic taste.

Mr. Jiang slowly put away the calligraphy and asked someone beside him to take it away.

He looked at the noble, beautiful, and graceful Shi Qing, and nodded with satisfaction: "In the blink of an eye, Xia girl has grown up to be so graceful. My boy is not worthy of you."

Jiang Qi Yang, who was standing aside with a stern face, was suddenly called. He met Shi Qing's gaze and subconsciously tightened his face.

Shi Qing ignored it and pretended to be shy: "Grandpa Jiang, please stop teasing me."

"Okay, I won't say any more, lest you get annoyed by my nagging again." Old Master Jiang laughed, "You young people should go and have fun by yourselves. You don't have to accompany me all the time."

The two people who were driven away by Mr. Jiang came to the hall, one with a cold face and the other with a fake smile. This side was reserved for young people.

Shi Qing picked up a small dessert from the food area and savored it leisurely.

Seeing that she had no intention of paying any attention to him, Jiang Qi Yang couldn't help but say, "I didn't mean to be mean to you yesterday."

what?

Shi Qing looked at him in confusion.

Meeting her straightforward gaze, Jiang Qiyang turned away uncomfortably, feeling somewhat guilty, "I just want to remind you not to get close to Jiang Jingshuo. He is... not someone you want to mess with."

He pondered over his words; actually, he wanted to say "he is dangerous".

Although he couldn't tell where Jiang Jingshuo showed signs of danger, his intuition told him that Jiang Jingshuo was not an ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing nodded in agreement.

Jiang Jingshuo, the villain, is indeed not easy to mess with.

But even if I didn't approach him, he would probably come to me on his own.

Seeing Shi Qing's thoughtful look, he must have listened to what he said.

"Then you play here for a while. I'll go check on grandpa." Jiang Qi Yang finally broke his cold face that had lasted the whole night and gently told her, "I'll come find you later."

"Go."

Shi Qing waved at him, indicating that he understood, but his eyes were scanning the crowd.

Strange, why didn't I see any villains?

However, the desserts at the banquet were very delicious, sweet but not greasy.

Shi Qing took another dessert and walked out of the hall slowly. There was a swimming pool outside.

It is just the beginning of autumn, but the weather is even more humid and hotter than in summer.

Shi Qing stopped walking. It was very noisy in front of him. Many people had formed a circle, pushing and shoving.

"Jiang Jingshuo, how dare you come here?" a boy said.

Although Shi Qing couldn't see his face, he could already imagine that the man was probably raising his chin slightly, with a look of disdain, and his words were spewing out of his nose.

She pretended to approach with curiosity and stood at the edge of the crowd watching the show with relish.

-

"He is just a bastard who cannot be seen in public. How can he be worthy of attending the banquet openly?"

"I think he is probably using his body to get close to others so that he can become a live-in son-in-law! Hahaha..."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, extremely harsh.

Jiang Jingshuo, who was surrounded in the middle, said nothing. He just raised his dark pupils and stared at the man who was laughing the most wantonly. His sinister expression seemed to drag him to hell.

"How dare you glare at me!" The man felt a chill in his spine as he was stared at by him. He became furious and raised his hand to slap him.

Jiang Jingshuo closed his eyes reflexively, and at the same time secretly engraved the appearance of the men in front of him in his heart.

It would be best if you suppress me forever. Otherwise, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will make sure you don't live in peace.

The expected slap did not come. Someone in the crowd seemed to exclaim, and then it was as if someone pressed the pause button, and there was no sound.

It was as if there was a breeze blowing, and a faint fragrance lingered around the nose, mixed with the sweet scent of cake.

Jiang Jingshuo suddenly opened his eyes and saw a girl who was a head shorter than him standing in front of him. From his perspective, he could just see her fair, slender and fragile neck.

At this time, Shi Qing held the man's wrist with one hand, smiling and speaking softly:

"Zhang Gaoming, I think today and tomorrow are both good days. Today is a little late. Why don't you go and change your name tomorrow?"

Zhang Gaoming was stopped and ridiculed by a girl. He glanced at the surprised eyes of the people around him and pulled his hand away with force: "Xia Qingqing, what does it have to do with you if I teach someone a lesson?"

Then, Zhang Gaoming seemed to think of something, and his eyes fell on Shi Qing and Jiang Jingshuo with ill intent:

"Isn't it said that Miss Xia has always been aloof and proud? When did she have the time to meddle in other people's affairs? Could it be that..."

The words that followed were left unsaid, which made people imagine more and caused the onlookers to whisper and discuss among themselves.

As if she was not the one being slandered, Shi Qing looked nonchalant, but her tone was a little colder than before.

"Zhang Gaoming, I won't bother with you for what you said to me today. If you have any conflicts, just resolve them privately. Don't forget, tonight is Grandpa Jiang's birthday, and this is the Jiang family. Why do you have to make everyone unhappy?"

She lightly attributed Zhang Gaoming's discrimination against Jiang Jingshuo's identity to a conflict between the two of them, and cleared him of the blame for the incident.

Seeing Zhang Gaoming calm down instantly, she took a few steps forward and lowered her voice: "Zhang Gaoming, it's good that you don't change your name, but you need to check your brain regularly."

Zhang Gaoming was choked for a moment. He knew that she was mocking him, but he was the only one who heard it.

Besides, he was given a way out just now, so there was no need for him to continue to make trouble because of this taunt.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked at the girl curiously, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Because they were afraid of attracting the adults' attention, they spoke in low voices.

The people around only saw Shi Qing lean over and say something to Zhang Gaoming, then step back with a gentle smile.

Then, the man who had been making things difficult for Jiang Jingshuo just now walked away without even looking at him, and even glanced at Miss Xia a few more times before leaving.

Forget it, I guess I’m going to have to fight with Miss Xia.

Others were not clear, but Jiang Jingsuo, who was standing behind Shi Qing, knew it clearly.

Looking at the girl with a decent smile on her face all night, and recalling what I just said.

He lowered his eyebrows, his mouth half-smiled, and the hair on his forehead blocked the light, casting a shadow that made his expression even more mysterious.

As expected, they are all the same kind of people, who only care about false face.

I wonder what their expressions would be if these fake masks were gone.

As if he had thought of something, he finally raised his head and smiled gently at the girl: "Xia Qingqing, thank you."

The onlookers had dispersed, and only the two of them were left.

Shi Qing was too lazy to maintain a smile, and said expressionlessly: "No thanks. I'm not helping you."

Jiang Jingshuo smiled sympathetically, "I know this may not be your intention, but you did help me out. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Shi Qing was holding a plate of finished cake in her hand and looked at him with interest, "So, are you going to repay me?"

Jiang Jingshuo was stunned for only half a second, with a slightly shy expression: "If Xia Qingqing accepts, I will personally give it to you in a few days."

"What needs to be delivered personally?"

A voice approached from behind, it was Jiang Qi Yang with an expressionless face.

Shi Qing ignored what Jiang Jingshuo had just said, turned around and spoke to the person who came: "Are you okay?"

He is so free, and always appears when she is alone with the villain.

Pretending not to notice the disgust in her eyes, Jiang Qi Yang took the small plate from her hand very naturally.

"There's nothing for me to do anyway. Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Jingshuo provocatively.

These words sounded as if the two of them were very close, like a young couple who were separated for a short time.

Shi Qing rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, watching Jiang Jingshuo's reaction from the corner of his eye, and followed Jiang Qiyang away.

I was thinking about what would happen next.

In the plot, Xia Qingqing was pushed into the swimming pool, and then Jiang Jingshuo rescued him, and the two people successfully had an intersection.

But here, she took the initiative to change some things.

Firstly, she didn't want to fall into the water and suffer, and secondly, she wanted to finish the plot quickly and leave early.

This time it wasn't that she was doing him a favor, but the other way around.

The independent-minded, cold-hearted and difficult-to-grasp young lady makes people want to challenge and conquer her.

"What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?" Jiang Qi Yang's slightly magnetic voice sounded in his ears.

Shi Qing shook his head, "Nothing."

Jiang Qiyang was obviously dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer, "Are you familiar with Jiang Jingshuo?"

They looked like they were having such a good time chatting.

"We're classmates, right? What's wrong?" She looked up at him in confusion.

"Nothing." The boy glanced at her lightly with his cold eyes, holding a drink cup in his hand.

"Jiang Qiyang, you have mentioned Jiang Jingshuo twice in front of me tonight, could it be that -"

"what?"

Jiang Qi Yang's eyes flickered. He glanced at her and then quickly looked away, taking a sip of his drink as if to cover up.

Shi Qing had a complicated expression and said in an uncertain tone: "You don't like Jiang Jingshuo, do you?"

So it always appears when we are alone.

"Cough-cough-"

Unexpectedly, a mouthful of unfinished drink choked Jiang Qi Yang's trachea. He bent over and coughed repeatedly, attracting inquiring glances from those around him.

Shi Qing patted him on the back and said, "You don't have to be so excited if I say so."

Jiang Qi Yang's face turned a little red, and it was unclear whether it was because he was choked or because he was angry.

He stared at her with his dark, cold eyes, and said word by word: "I don't like him."

His tone was serious and his gaze remained on her face, as if waiting for her to be convinced.

"I know, I know. It's just a joke. It's nothing serious."

The girl lowered her head and muttered, blaming him instead. Jiang Qiyang was angry and amused at the same time, he stood up straight and straightened his clothes, "Don't make such jokes again in the future."

Without waiting for Shi Qing to answer, he had already left.

-

Jiang Jingshuo, who had been watching the two of them from a distance, brightened his eyes. He pulled the corners of his mouth upward, revealing a meaningful smile.

According to his previous investigation, both of them were arrogant and cold in character, and were unwilling to bow their heads to explain and apologize for anything. That was why the events of a few years ago had continued to affect them until now and had become a knot in their hearts.

This is the best time.
