Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

At that time, she had just gotten off the ferry from Shanghai to Jinling with her luggage to visit her sick aunt, but she encountered a fight between two local gangs.

In the chaos, gunshots were deafening and the dock was in turmoil. The coolies abandoned their goods and fled in all directions. The vendors' carts were knocked over and fresh oranges rolled everywhere.

Another gunshot rang out beside her ears. She could even smell the burning smell of gunpowder in the air. Chi Xianqiu froze in place, panic-stricken and at a loss as to what to do.

Suddenly, a warm hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind a pile of sacks.

She staggered and fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, a bullet grazed her temple and "bang" hit the wooden box behind her. The flying wood chips scratched her cheek, leaving a thin blood mark. Chi Xianqiu was so scared that his face turned pale, his heart was beating wildly, and he could hardly breathe.

Just when she was still in shock, a steady but hurried male voice came from behind her, "Don't move, get down!" She subconsciously turned around and met a pair of deep eyes.

The man in front of me was wearing a well-tailored dark grey suit, with straight shoulders and hair combed neatly with wax. His eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were as bright as stars, and his face was so handsome that he looked like a movie star who had walked out of a Western magazine.

This person was Xu Yucheng, who had just returned from studying abroad and was temporarily staying in Jinling to visit friends.

In the chaos, the two of them only exchanged hasty glances of panic and comfort, and before they even had time to ask each other's names, they were separated by the crowd that surged in again.

Chi Xianqiu stroked his pounding heart, looking at the tall figure that quickly disappeared in the chaos, and a secret affection quietly grew in his heart.

However, the other person's modern style, which was incompatible with the chaotic dock, was like an invisible barrier, making her realize that he was from another world. Therefore, she could only bury this throbbing, along with the thrilling memory, deep in her heart.

But fate played a trick on her. When she dragged her tired body back home and opened the suitcase she had hastily grabbed in the chaos, she was stunned.

Inside the box were not her underwear, but several expensive men's suits, a stack of French books and several documents signed with the name "Xu Yucheng".

Her heart skipped a beat. It was him! Panic and a hint of indescribable joy crept into her heart at the same time. Chi Xianqiu carefully packed up her suitcase. After several twists and turns, she finally found out where Xu Yucheng was staying—a well-known hotel in Jinling.

With a mixture of uneasiness and anticipation that he couldn't explain, Chi Xianqiu carried the heavy suitcase and found the hotel.

After the waiter informed, he only brought the news that Xu Yucheng was having a small gathering with friends in a nearby cafe and was temporarily unable to see guests. If there was anything, he could pass it on for him.

For some unknown reason, Chi Xianqiu did not leave his name or purpose, but just carried the suitcase and quietly found the cafe that the waiter mentioned.

Through the bright glass window, she recognized the figure at a glance. He was leaning back in a comfortable sofa chair, his posture relaxed and elegant, chatting and laughing with several friends who were also dressed in smart clothes.

Chi Xianqiu mustered up the courage to step forward, but saw Xu Yucheng inadvertently glance at her outside the window, his brows slightly frowned, and then he gave his friend a helpless and playful smile, and whispered something.

Although they were far away, the windows of the cafe facing the street were open, and his words, which were somewhat nonchalant and teasing, floated out clearly, accompanied by the understanding laughter and conversation of his friends.

"Which Miss Xu is this?"

"He looks unfamiliar. Maybe he forgot about it."

"Don't worry about such trivial matters..."

The light words mixed with the aroma of coffee floated out of the window, but it was like a basin of ice water poured on Chi Xianqiu's head. She froze in place, with a buzzing in her ears.

A huge sense of disillusionment instantly overwhelmed her. It turned out that the savior she had been thinking about so much was such a frivolous and heartless playboy!

The anxiety and anticipation of the past few days, along with that little bit of hidden affection, now turned into embarrassing humiliation and burning anger.

She could no longer hold back, and pushed open the door of the cafe. In the astonished eyes of everyone, she rushed straight to Xu Yucheng's table, slammed the heavy suitcase in her arms at his feet, and stated her identity and purpose with a cold face.

This harsh rebuke made the cafe instantly silent.

Xu Yucheng's smile froze on his face. He looked at the woman in front of him with flushed cheeks and wide-open eyes in surprise. The pale face at the dock overlapped with the angry and stubborn face at this moment.

No one had ever dared to embarrass him like this. Instead of angering him, this accident aroused a strong sense of novelty. The astonishment in his eyes faded away and a playful smile appeared.

From then on, the thread of fate was tightly entangled.

From that moment on, the gears of fate began to turn. Like an untimely autumn breeze, Chi Xianqiu unexpectedly burst into Xu Yucheng's world of extravagance and decadence.

The unyielding stubbornness in her eyes was completely different from the beauties Xu Yucheng had known in the past.

Whenever she turned and left with a pursed mouth, Xu Yucheng would always chase after her unconsciously. Even he himself could not explain why he had to lower himself to please a female student.

And Chi Xianqiu also discovered in their repeated confrontations that this seemingly frivolous young man would calmly hand her a handkerchief when she coughed, and would "happen" to pass by the girls' school where she was studying on rainy days.

Beneath his cynical smile lies a gentleness that even he himself is unaware of.

The feelings between the two people sprouted in temptation, grew in misunderstanding, and were constantly torn between resistance and attraction.

It's like a carefully choreographed tango, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, and finally we clear away the fog and see each other's truest selves.

However, standing in the way of them is the marriage contract Xu Yucheng had made since childhood - the object is Miss Lin, the jewel in the crown of Commander Lin, who is in charge of the entire Shanghai Military Region.

When Miss Lin learned that Xu Yucheng had actually broken off the engagement for an ordinary female student with no background, the spoiled daughter vented all her anger on Chi Xianqiu, becoming vehemently hostile towards her and threatening to make her "unable to survive in the Shanghai market."

In addition, the Xu family certainly could not watch their carefully cultivated heir do such a foolish thing.

As a prominent and influential family in Shanghai, they absolutely could not accept that their heir would abandon the well-matched daughter of the Lin family and marry a poor student who had neither family background nor financial support.

The targeting by the Lin family and the pressure from the Xu family were like two huge mountains. Rumors, coercion, frame-up, and life-and-death tests came one after another. They were separated and reunited, misunderstandings arose and their knots were untied. After going through all kinds of difficulties, they finally broke through all obstacles and became a couple.
