Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

The thought that the other person might be the Tiger Tooth Brother she had been longing for filled Zhou Liwan with excitement and anticipation.

I wish I could teleport.

After leading Zhou Liwan to a tree, the waiter continued to bow respectfully, "Miss, that young master only asked me to bring you here to wait for him, so I'll go and get back to work now."

Zhou Liwan waved her hand dismissively, her tone somewhat impatient: "Go, go."

After the waiter left, she looked around. The banquet hadn't started yet, and there were many older people watching the play in the backyard. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see any young boys.

After waiting anxiously for more than ten minutes, Zhou Liwan became a little impatient.

Suddenly, a soft thud came from above, and Zhou Liwan instinctively looked up.

A striking red-haired boy was perched on a tree branch, grinning maliciously at him: "You've really messed with me!"

The next second, the boy opened the cloth bag in his hand, and the contents poured out.

When Zhou Liwan saw what it was, her pupils constricted, and she instinctively covered her head and screamed, "Help!"

Just then, the man's long, slender hand grabbed Zhou Liwan and pulled her out of the tree, and he said in a deep voice to the person in the tree, "Come down."

Colorful caterpillars fell to the ground like a rain of flower petals, making one's scalp tingle.

If you get pricked by their bristles, you'll definitely peel off a layer of skin.

Xu Zimu didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and help Zhou Liwan; otherwise, he would have achieved his goal today.

He smirked and jumped down, stomping on and killing a number of insects.

Zhou Liwan seemed to hear the sound of a caterpillar's body bursting, a crisp "splatter" sound.

She immediately got goosebumps and looked at Shen Nanzhou, who was protecting her behind her, with a pitiful expression: "Uncle~"

"This is the Jiang family home. Even if you're being reckless, you should at least know where you are!" Shen Nanzhou's tone was unfriendly, as if it were some kind of warning.

"With Brother Nanzhou here, of course I wouldn't dare. But I didn't know you and her were so close. If I remember correctly, she hasn't been in contact with you much since she went back to that shabby Zhou family, has she?"

Xu Zimu raised an eyebrow, smiled at Zhou Liwan behind Shen Nanzhou, and exuded a cold and arrogant demeanor.

"I think you should worry about yourself." Shen Nanzhou glanced at Xu's father and Jiang Hongshan and his group, who were rushing towards them in a fit of rage not far away, and kindly reminded them.

Xu Zimu's face darkened. He rubbed his head impatiently, muttered a curse under his breath, and then turned and ran into the woods.

The waiter quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor, but Xu's father still saw the wriggling caterpillars, and his face became even more gloomy.

Looking at the redness and swelling on Zhou Liwan's neck, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and said apologetically, "Wanwan, I'm so sorry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter. I see that you have quite a few injuries on your neck. You should see a doctor first."

Zhou Liwan still couldn't forget the feeling of the bug hitting her, and she couldn't help but pick at her toes: "Uncle Xu, you don't need to apologize to me. Whoever did this should be held responsible!"

Jiang Hongshan quickly stepped forward, looking at Zhou Liwan's neck wound with concern, feeling extremely distressed: "How did it get so swollen!"

Academician Jiang said with a serious expression: "Sangluo, quickly take Wanwan to the room to check. There should still be some poisonous caterpillar hairs on her neck. Remember to remove the poisonous hairs with tape first, and then rinse with clean water. I don't know if there is any ointment at home, so just apply some mentholatum or medicated oil first!"

Jiang Sangluo didn't know why this suddenly happened. Wasn't it supposed to be a meeting between acquaintances? Why would he suddenly throw caterpillars at her?

"Sister Wanwan, let's go first. Let me take a look at your wound." Jiang Sanglu frowned and helped Zhou Liwan to leave.

"Thank you, Uncle. If it weren't for you, I probably would have been hurt much worse." Before leaving, Zhou Liwan looked at the man who had remained calm and composed throughout and thanked him.

Shen Nanzhou nodded: "Of course."

After Zhou Liwan left, she vaguely heard someone say, "Nanzhou, your hand..."

Yao Ruofu couldn't help much, so she could only prepare everything and then sit there helplessly, saying, "I'm so angry! I told you long ago that Xu Zimu is a devil and not to be trifled with, why did you still set your sights on him!"

Zhou Liwan carefully took off her top, revealing her snow-white skin. Yao Ruofu and Sangluo were immediately stunned.

"I just wanted to be a good person and comfort Uncle Xu, but I never expected Xu Zimu to be such a scoundrel!"

Gently taping Sangluo up, she couldn't help but drool as she touched his smooth, soft skin. "Uncle Xu said he would give you an answer, and he definitely will. He values ​​integrity and etiquette the most."

"But your skin is absolutely amazing, I'm so envious I want to give you a good rub."

Zhou Liwan chuckled: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"That's no exaggeration at all! I'm so envious!"

Yao Ruofu ripped off a new piece of tape, shamelessly declaring, "Want to see mine? That's what you call flawless skin and delicate bones!"

Jiang Sangluo ignored her and changed the subject: "Luckily, Sister Wanwan, your uncle stepped in to pull you out of trouble today, otherwise you would have been completely ruined."

Yao Ruofu adjusted the water temperature and draped a bath towel over the edge of the bathtub so that Zhou Liwan could be more comfortable while showering.

"The water temperature is ready, come on over!" Yao Ruofu shouted in the bathroom. After the two of them arrived, she continued, "But your uncle is really aloof. I've met him several times with Dad and you, but each time it's just polite small talk. It feels... a bit cold."

"It's a bit cold, and he doesn't talk much." After Shang Luo quickly dried Zhou Liwan's hands, he continued, "I just saw that his hand seemed to be injured as well, but he didn't seem to want to say anything."

Zhou Liwan was stunned. She realized she hadn't misheard: "I don't know if he went to deal with it or not."

Yao Ruofu lay comfortably on Zhou Liwan's bed and breathed a sigh of relief: "I guess not. He's the host of today's birthday banquet, how could he not be there?"

Zhou Liwan immediately felt ashamed. She hadn't had a chance to properly thank her uncle for the elevator incident, and now she had caused him to injure his hand.

If things continue like this, instead of developing feelings, he might just keep his distance from you.

No, Zhou Liwan thought for a moment and decided to visit her uncle later with the things.

"I'll lie down for a bit too~ I rushed over after class today, I'm exhausted." Jiang Sangluo looked at Yao Ruofu lying lazily on the soft bed and suddenly felt like taking a nap herself.
