Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 60: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (20)

Xiao Jiangran leaned back in the carriage. His journey to Kyoto was uncertain and filled with dangers. But compared to those unknowns, he was thinking more about the rare encounters with Shen Jin he had had in the past few years.

The number was so small that he wanted to keep every encounter completely in his memory.

I was afraid that I would forget it when I got old, so I wrote it down on a piece of paper.

He wanted to destroy the letter several times to put an end to this inexplicable self-love. But Shen Jin always appeared at this time and saved him from danger.

There was still no time to keep him, and he left quietly again.

Year after year, the pile of white papers that should have been torn up and discarded grew thicker and thicker. By the time he realized it, the box was no longer able to hold them.

As soon as the gap was opened, papers popped out.

……

"Forget it, let's change it to a booklet."

He heard himself say it, and he let himself do it.

"Sir, someone stopped the carriage and said they want to see you."

The driver reported to the carriage and sat down on the carriage politely.

Xiao Jiangran was interrupted from his memories and looked outside the carriage. A woman wearing a veil on her head was standing in front of his horse, holding a wooden box in her hand.

Xie Yunshu.

He got off the carriage and asked the driver to park it aside to avoid blocking traffic. He walked to a distance of three steps away from Xie Yunshu and stopped, "Thank you, Miss."

"But the teacher has something important to tell you?"

He had been walking for three days and was already halfway through his journey, so why was Xie Yunshu rushing over?

Xie Yunshu's smile froze, and he complained: "If Grandfather is alright, can't I come look for you?"

Xiao Jiangran just smiled and said nothing, and his intention to see the guest off was obvious. If there was nothing to do, then don't block the way.

Xie Yunshu stepped forward and said, "The journey to Kyoto is long and arduous, so you must be careful."

"If the young lady hadn't stopped me here, I could have checked into the inn before nightfall and wouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness."

"If you have nothing else to do, Miss Xie, please hurry back so that the teacher won't worry."

Xie Yunshu knew Xiao Jiangran would chase him away, so he chose to meet him midway along the way. "To be honest, I'm also going to the capital, and Brother Xiao happens to be going there too, so I came here specifically to find you."

She walked towards the carriage. "You can't chase me away. I left an envelope for my grandfather, and he knew I would come looking for you. If he knew that you chased me away and that something happened on the way, what do you think he would think?"

Xiao Jiangran's face darkened: "Where's your carriage?"

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring enough money, so I was kicked out." Xie Yunshu said nonchalantly: "Your carriage is so spacious, what's wrong with me being an extra person?"

"Wenfu, please ask Miss Xie to get in the car yourself and come back to pick me up after she's settled."

"Yes, son."

Xie Yunshu was still struggling. Since she had dared to run out this time, she had already prepared herself mentally and was willing to sacrifice her dignity. She opened her mouth and shouted, "Don't let him touch me, believe it or not, I'll scream molest!"

……

Wen Fu was frightened by her and froze to the side. Xiao Jiangran frowned, but he naturally wouldn't go forward.

He had already guessed three-quarters of Xie Yunshu's purpose on this trip. If he met her, who knew what even more troublesome things would happen.

"Hey, why are you standing there like an idiot? There's no traffic here."

A voice sounded from behind him, extremely familiar. Xiao Jiangran instantly forgot about Xie Yunshu and turned around eagerly, only to see Shen Jin appearing leisurely in a carriage.

"you……"

Why does he always look so embarrassed every time she appears like this?

But fortunately, this time his clothes were intact, he looked neat, and he could even stand and talk to her.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao?"

The last three words were clearly teasing, and the rising ending tone had a hook that swept across his heart.

Even though he knew it was just a name she imitated jokingly, his breathing still stopped, and the tips of his ears hidden in his hair were already red.

Shen Jin naturally didn't notice it.

She pointed at the carriage behind with the whip in her hand: "Don't just stand there, get on the train to Kyoto."

Xiao Jiangran nodded, walked forward, put one leg on the frame, and let it go without any resistance.

Only a handsome back view was left for Xie Yunshu.

"Who are you? Brother Xiao, how could you get on a woman's carriage so casually!"

The difference in treatment between the two made her feel uneasy, and a sudden thought broke into her mind: "Could this be his lover?"

He denied it again: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! He won't marry me just because the Xie family has no support..."

"It must be so, it must be so!"

She tried to act like a lady, to outdo the rag-clad beggar, but she was already panicking, and her face was distorted and stiff.

In a panic, she met Shen Jin's gaze. In those clear black and white eyes, she had no way of hiding anything.

Shen Jin shook his wrist, whipped his horsewhip, and smiled brightly: "It seems you are going to the capital too?"

"Unfortunately, this car can only accommodate one person."

Xiao Jiangran stuck his head out and repeated, "Wenfu, bring all my things over here, and then take Miss Xie to the car."

Shen Jin smiled, raised the whip, and took a step forward.

Two carriages drove on the official road one after another.

Xiao Jiangran explained, "She is Xie Lan, the granddaughter of Xie Yushi. Xie Lan is my mentor."

"Where is she?" Shen Jin asked indifferently.

"She what?" Xiao Jiangran was puzzled.

"Like in-laws, admiration and so on." Shen Jin said.

There was no love line in the original plot, but there is no guarantee that there is none now.

After all, Xie Lan's death was tragic and ended in complete utter disgrace. Naturally, there was no subsequent plot, and there was no granddaughter.

Now Xie Lan is saved.

As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life, so it's normal for him to help Xiao Jiangran with his marriage.

What if it was the heroine? Wouldn’t her action just now have prevented them from developing feelings?

Shen Jin pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, then pressed his heart inconspicuously. It felt like something had broken down a little earlier, a little sore and numb. Could it be that this was what happened to a dead body after using it for too long?

"You also understand in-laws and admiration?"

Xiao Jiangran felt a little bitter and stopped sitting alone. He moved forward a few steps and sat next to Shen Jin, imitating her as she leaned against the wooden board. "I have nothing to do with her. It's nothing worth me telling you specifically."

Shen Jin's long black hair was simply tied up with a cloth belt, hanging casually to her waist, and swaying slightly with the movement of her body.

For a moment, she brushed against his arm and lingered.

She drives differently from ordinary people, and the whip in her hand is more like a toy to pass the time.

After all, all she needs to control the horse is her mouth.

Not only horses, she also asked him to ride a camel, a black whale, and even commanded an ape to carry him on its shoulders.

Xiao Jiangran stared at her swaying hair and asked, "Why are you in the capital?"

“Because you’re here.”

This is another seemingly plausible statement.

Xiao Jiangran gripped the beam of the car tightly: "Then why don't you leave right away too? You always leave without saying goodbye."

His eyebrows drooped, his head hung down, and his whole body curled up slightly, like an abandoned little animal.

Even though Shen Jin still couldn't sense emotions, she still knew that this action clearly showed loss and sadness.

Shen Jin was surprised: "I thought you were angry with me and didn't want to see me."
