Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Cheng Jinchu saw that Xiao Jingan agreed readily, but he did cause trouble for him, so he took out a dagger.

"This is for you, as a thank you gift!"

Xiao Jingan looked at the familiar ruby ​​dagger, his eyes lit up, he reached out to take it, and pulled open the dagger.

This dagger is made very delicately. The key is that it is not only beautiful, but also can cut iron like mud. He knows that this dagger was made by his cousin specifically for Miss Taoyao. However, the word "Taoyao" is not on the dagger yet. Those two words were carved by him later.

"I asked Zhang Zirui to make this dagger for me. The daggers made by the Zhang family are very good. I think I put a lot of effort into this thank you gift, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Jing'an held the dagger in his hands as if he was holding some treasure, his eyes shining, and nodded at Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu looked at the well-behaved Xiao Jingan and felt that he looked like a big dog waiting for praise from his owner. He was so cute that she couldn't help but laugh.

"Your cousin said that you are aloof and don't like people to get close to you. You always have a stern face, like a little old man. But I have known you for half a month, and you are not like what he said. However, why do you always wear dark clothes? You look so dull. At your age, you don't wear such colors!"

Xiao Jingan looked at his clothes and couldn't help laughing. He always thought that this color was resistant to stains, and even if there was blood on it, it wouldn't be noticeable.

"Indeed, my mother asked someone to make it for me. She hoped that I would be more stable and be able to bear the family's expectations."

Xiao Jing'an talked nonsense in a serious manner, putting the blame firmly on his mother. He thought, if his mother knew that this was for the girl that her son wanted to marry in the future, she would probably be happy to take the blame!

"Ah? It seems that your mother has high expectations for you. Are you going to study for the imperial examination?"

He really didn't need to take the imperial examination, but when he looked at Miss Taoyao in front of him, he was afraid that she would think he was not ambitious.

"Yes, indeed."

"Then you will definitely pass the exam. Recently, I have noticed that you get up early every day to study and practice martial arts. You are very self-disciplined. People who are self-disciplined will definitely succeed."

"Hmm! By the way, Miss Taoyao, what color do you like?"

Xiao Jing'an was not interested in the imperial examinations, he was interested in Miss Taoyao's interests and hobbies.

"As for me, I like all kinds of bright colors. They are all beautiful. I like red the most. What about you?"

“Yeah, Crescent Moon White.”

The color that Xiao Jing'an answered was the color that Miss Taoyao said suited him. She thought it suited him, so he liked it. Later, he wore crescent white clothes the most.

"Oh, by the way, you will definitely look good in crescent white. You should try more light-colored clothes. You are so good-looking, and there are always young knights in white in the storybooks. You are so good at martial arts, you can also be a young knight in white!"

When Xiao Jing'an was praised by Miss Taoyao for his good looks, the corners of his mouth curled up and he nodded happily.

He thought of his clothes, and later, in addition to the crescent-white clothes, he also had a lot of white clothes.

The contrast was huge. Although his mother was surprised, she was very happy. In the past, she made some light-colored clothes for him, but he never wore them. He always wore old-fashioned colors, which made his mother not want to make clothes for him anymore.

"Yeah, I'll wear more light colors next time."

"That's right. You're so young, don't always wear such... somber colors."

Xiao Jing'an continued to nod, yes, yes, Miss Taoyao said it very well, he is still young, he should wear colors that Taoyao thinks are good-looking, so that Miss Taoyao will praise him for his good looks.

Xiao Jingan found it strange. In the past, when others praised his good looks, he thought they were superficial and only looked at the surface of the appearance and did not pay attention to the inner cultivation at all.

However, when Miss Taoyao praised him for his good looks, he felt thankful for the first time that he was good-looking. At least for now, it seemed that he was worthy of Miss Taoyao in terms of looks.

"Miss Taoyao..."

Xiao Jing'an looked up at Cheng Jinchu and found that the girl Taoyao in front of him was becoming more and more blurry. Slowly, the surroundings became dark again. He could not see the surroundings clearly at all and could only hear the voice of girl Taoyao.

"Give me back the jade tiger!"

"Suffer death!"

"I want you to pay with your life!"

"I'm going to hit you to death with my hammer!"

……

……

……

"I'm sorry! Miss Taoyao..."

Xiao Jingan sat up from the bed. His movement was too big and he pulled the wound, which began to bleed again. The severe pain in his arm made him pay attention to his current environment.

He is back!

Back to the present.

Back to the time when Miss Taoyao hated herself to death.

Back to when she was holding a hammer and wanted to kill him.

Xiao Jingan's eyes turned red. How did it become like this today? The last time they met, they were sitting together and chatting. She even gave him a cup of milk tea and a thank-you gift. Now she wanted to kill him.

Jamel Xiao took a deep breath.

“Someone, someone!”

Xiao Jingan shouted outside, and a maid came in after a while.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

The room was dark, so Jamel Xiao didn't wear a mask.

"Bring Yu Da to me!"

The maid bowed and immediately went out to find Yu Da. Xiao Jingan sat up, picked up the mask beside him and put it on. He leaned back on the bed, closed his eyes and waited for Yu Da to come.
