At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

The young man standing behind Old Li was arrogant, looked down on others, and spoke in a haughty and disdainful tone.

It was the waiter welcoming guests at the entrance of Shuangxi Restaurant.

"Where did you come from, you old bastard? How dare you delay our Shuangxi Restaurant's business? Don't you think about how much your worthless bones are worth? Get out of here! Are you waiting for me to buy you a coffin?!"

What he said was harsh, and the force of the kick was quite strong.

Old Li coughed for a long time before he caught his breath, but his face was much paler than before, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Although the people around were dissatisfied with the boy's domineering behavior, no one dared to step forward. They just lowered their heads and pretended not to see or hear anything.

Lin Cai took a step forward and was about to argue with the servant when she felt someone grabbing her arm.

When I turned around, it was Qiu Anji.

Qiu Anji had a calm expression on his face. He shook his head firmly at her and said with his eyes:

It’s not too late to wait and see how the situation develops before making a decision.

After all, she had just suffered a loss.

Qiu Anji's convincing and respectable temperament seemed to be innate. Lin Qing nodded and waited patiently with her.

Then a scene that shocked everyone happened -

Old Li stood up tremblingly, and a flattering smile appeared on his pale face.

"Brother Xiaolai, what are you talking about? Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to act wildly on your territory! I don't have much flesh on my chest, I wonder if my kick hurt you?"

The young man called 'Brother Xiaolai' raised his head, his eyes barely rolling down, and just repeated "get out" impatiently several times.

Old Li quickly picked up the rotten vegetable leaves scattered on the ground, and then quickly escaped from everyone's sight. His movements were so fast that there was no sign of any discomfort.

Lin Qing and Qiu Anji looked at each other and gave similar bitter smiles.

Really, what can I say about Old Li?

Is it that one reaps the consequences of one's own actions, or is there always something hateful about pitiful people?

Qiu Anji sighed deeply, clasped his fists and bowed to Lin Qing, saying, "I haven't had time to thank Madam for rescuing me just now. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been harassed by that old scoundrel."

Lin Qing smiled and returned the greeting in the same way.

"To be honest, I followed you because I admired your unrestrained and righteous way of speaking. Moreover, I didn't do anything wrong. You saying this makes me feel ashamed!

"I know I'm weak, but even so, I shouldn't leave a hero like you alone, helpless and without support."

Qiu Anji had heard a lot of compliments since he was a child, but no one had ever said it so sincerely, without any trace of hypocrisy. He couldn't help but look at Lin Qing carefully.

Looking closely at this lady, her appearance is even more beautiful, which is eye-catching.

Of course, what is even more eye-catching is her unusual character.

It is true that people like to join in the fun, but if they really get into trouble, they would rather just clean up the mess in front of their own door and not worry about other people's troubles.

In the past, at such times, it was the shadow guards who were responsible for protecting her who tried every means to keep her safe. She never expected that today, before they could take action, it was this lady who helped her first.

She had never met such a woman before!

Qiu Anji's eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile, "Madam and I hit it off right away. If you have time, why don't we go to the teahouse and have a chat?"

If others heard that the eldest daughter of the enemy family, who never liked to get close to others, would take the initiative to make an appointment, they would probably be shocked.

Being invited by her is equivalent to getting in touch with the enemy, right?

This is such a good thing that you’ll wake up laughing even in your dreams!

Not to mention going to a teahouse, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely sacrifice my life to accompany you without hesitation!

But what Qiu Anji didn't expect was that Lin Qing actually rejected her.

"Sorry, ma'am, I have some important matters to discuss with the shopkeeper here, so I'm afraid I can't get away..."

Before she could finish, Gu Changqing couldn't help but pull her sleeve.

Lin Qing turned around and saw that it was Gu Changqing who interrupted her. She knew that he was not a child who did not know etiquette, and there must be a serious reason for his recklessness.

After giving Qiu Anji an apologetic smile, Lin Qing pulled Gu Changqing aside.

Before asking, Gu Changqing quickly and briefly introduced Qiu Anji's background, which shocked Lin Qing.

I never expected that this plain-looking woman would have such a great background!

Gu Changqing continued, "Although this young lady from the enemy family rarely appears in public, she hates evil and has a good reputation. If she helps, things in the Jia Mansion might be easier."

Lin Qing agreed with Gu Changqing's opinion, but when he looked at the absent-minded Shopkeeper Yu, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Comparing the two, it really made her feel a little embarrassed...

How to choose...

Before she could think it through, Qiu Anji leisurely sat down at a table in the noodle stall. Seeing Lin Qing looking over, he raised his hand and said, "As for chatting, it's the same everywhere. I even think places like teahouses are too pretentious."

Lin Qing admired Qiu Anji more and more, but then she thought about taking Damao to the bookstore later and felt more embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, ma'am, I have other plans later..."

Seeing Qiu Anji's face getting uglier, Lin Qing hurriedly said, "If you don't mind, why don't you come directly to my house tonight and we can have a long talk!"

Facing Qiu Anji's surprised gaze, she also felt that she was a little abrupt.

It's not normal to invite someone to your home for the first time you meet them. Even if they are of the same sex, it's a bit over the line.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Anji burst out laughing: "You are really interesting! Okay, tell me where you live, and I will come to visit you in the evening."

After a pause, she winked cunningly and said, "I don't think you'd dare to have any plans against me!"

Lin Qing felt that Qiu Anji's smile was completely different from before. She was as gorgeous as a lotus emerging from water. She was stunned for a moment and stammered, "I dare not, I dare not."

After introducing herself, Qiu Anji got up and left. Before leaving, she earnestly warned Lin Qing not to lose her composure because of momentary compassion.

Lin Qing knew that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart and said firmly, "Don't worry, Madam. Shopkeeper Yu is not like that old man Li. I will not let my sincerity go to waste."

Qiu Anji was amused by her description and smiled, clasped his fists and turned away.

The three brothers looked at her back and thought of the same thing:

This lady really looks like my mother/aunt!

No wonder they hit it off right away!

Lin Qing noticed that after Qiu Anji left, many people in the hidden places in the streets and alleys also quickly disappeared.

She felt a little excited for a moment.

She knew it was impossible for a young lady from a noble family to go out alone!

She must have highly skilled guards around her!

I really want to see what this world looks like with martial arts masters!

Of course, she saw it soon.

But it was completely different from what she had imagined, or even completely unrelated.
