Nanjiang Museum.

‘Tang Jingci was worried that Qiao Xiyan would wait for her. So at half past five, she even came out early. But when the museum closed, there was no one here.

She didn’t have Qiao Xiyan’s phone number. She wanted to ask Song Fengwan or Qiao Wangbei for it, but she was worried that they would notice something.

There had been a problem with picking her up at the airport yesterday. Qiao Wangbei had drunk too much and even reprimanded him. She didn’t want to cause trouble for him or get him scolded again, so she simply waited a little longer.

She walked around the vicinity. As someone with a poor sense of direction, it was difficult for her to even look at the domestic bus stop signs. She didn’t know the locations marked on them, let alone know which bus to take.

She wanted to take a taxi, but she didn’t know the exact location of the Yan residence.

She was worried that she would go to an unknown place and wouldn’t be able to find the way. She walked around the neighborhood and finally returned to the entrance of the museum.

‘The guard at the door had looked at her many times. After all, she was an adult, not a child.

‘When the battery of Tang Jingci’s phone was about to run out, the sky turned dark.

The street lights lit up simultaneously, making her look even more desolate.

She looked at her phone. When there was still 5% battery left, and he still wasn’t here, she could only call Qiao Wangbei.

She didn’t expect Qiao Wangbei to call her first. After confirming that she was safe, he scolded his son again. Tang Jingci could only say, “Uncle-Master, he didn’t do it on purpose. I’m fine. Please calm down.”

“This brat isn’t usually like this. Don’t worry. When he brings you back, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson. This time, it’s Uncle-Master’s fault for not thinking things through. I’ve wronged you.”

Letting a girl stay in an unfamiliar place for so long… When Qiao Wangbei thought of this, he wished he could cut Qiao Xiyan with a knife. This isn’t the first time either. Why can’t he be more attentive?

“It’s fine. He might be too busy.”

“Tl accompany you personally tomorrow. Wherever you want to go, Uncle-Master will go with you.” Today, he had been sending relatives, friends, and guests off, so he had indeed been a little busy.

“Uncle-Master, there’s really no need. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”

‘Tang Jingci talked to him for a long time until her phone ran out of battery.

Actually, she wanted to say:

Is your son in his thirties with the memory of a ninety-year-old? He’s young, but his memory has deteriorated so much?

And he can’t even remember my name.

ee

When Qiao Xiyan reached the entrance of the museum, he saw Tang Jingci eating an egg pancake and looking up at the sky. Who knew what she was thinking?

He lowered the car window and blurted out, “BI”

If he said the words blue and white porcelain, he could imagine what kind of expression Tang Jingci would have.

“Tang Jingcil”

‘Tang Jingci turned her head to look at him and ate her food expressionlessly. She had waited too long, and there was no joy or excitement.

Qiao Xiyan opened the door, got out of the car, and walked toward her. “I’m late.”

“You forgot me,” Tang Jingci said bluntly.

“Anyway, it’s not the first time you’ve abandoned me. Waiting for you… I’m used to it.”

For the first time, Qiao Xiyan was rendered speechless. “Get in the car first.”

‘Tang Jingci ignored him and walked straight to the car.

At this moment, a car drove over from afar. The headlights of the car were flashing. Qiao Xiyan narrowed his eyes and clearly saw some words on the curb of the museum street. He squatted down and used the street lights.

[Qiao Xiyan is a bastard, a big bastard.]

It had been carved with something.

He recognized Tang Jingci’s handwriting.

This girl.

Qiao Xiyan turned his head and saw that Tang Jingci had already sat in the car and was eating with her head lowered, not looking at him at all.

Yesterday, when she held the knife, she had carved crookedly. But today, she used some force to carve the words deeply. She was obviously very angry at the time, but.

Bastard?

When he was young, all those who dared to scold him had been beaten black and blue. But he was in the wrong.

So he could only endure it.

In fact, Tang Jingci had a good temper. She didn’t lose her temper when he failed to pick her up on time at the airport since he didn’t do it intentionally. But this time, she had waited too long. How could she not have a bit of a temper? For a period of time, she had really used alll the dirty words she knew to

describe him.

But after thinking about it, the only word she knew how to scold people with was bastard.

After scolding him over and over again, she still felt very angry.

In the end, she simply carved it in stone.

Qiao Xiyan felt that only elementary school students would do such a petty thing.

After Qiao Xiyan got into the car, he saw her eating happily. “Where did this come from?”

“The security guard saw that I was pitiful, so when his granddaughter wanted to eat one, he also got me one.”

“Are you still hungry? I’ll take you somewhere to eat.”

“Your treat?”

“Sure.

“Lwant to eat the most expensive things.” Tang Jingci put the unfinished egg pancake in her bag and prepared to burn a hole in his wallet.

‘Tang Jingci’s facial features were cold. Coupled with the fact that she was unfamiliar with this place, she always seemed a little reserved. She spoke and did things carefully, and she didn’t look like a good person to approach.

Her tone was slightly coquettish.

Qiao Xiyan tilted his head to look at her and inadvertently smiled. She’s just a little girl.

“What do you want to eat?” Qiao Xiyan wasn’t familiar with Nanjiang either. The restaurants he knew were limited, and he didn’t know her tastes.

“That…” Tang Jingci pointed at a little girl by the roadside. She was holding food in her hand, but from afar, she couldn’t see it clearly.

“There’s probably a snack street. Shall we go there?”

“Sure.

During the full moon banquet yesterday, Tang Jingci had eaten a lot, so she didn’t have the appetite to go to a fine dining restaurant.

Qiao Xiyan didn’t expect her so-called expensive food was just some skewers and mung bean jelly at the snack street. In the end, she held a cup of bubble tea and seemed satisfied.

‘Tang Jingci’s appetite wasn’t much to begin with, and she had been angry with a certain someone for a few hours, so she couldn’t eat anything at all. But the snack street was full of dazzling food, so she couldn’t bear to leave.

Qiao Xiyan followed behind her and received a call from his father.

“_. You’ve picked her up? Did anything happen?”

“Yes. No.”

“Aren’t you coming back yet?”

“T’ve brought her somewhere to eat first.”

Qiao Xiyan was only more patient with Song Fengwan. He was willing to accompany her out to eat because he had made her wait for so long and Tang Jingci didn’t mention this to anyone, let alone complain behind his back.

Her anger seemed to have dissipated after eating, and she wasn’t pretentious at all.

Qiao Xiyan thought that she had a good temper. At least, she wasn’t troublesome.

He had a few friends in Suzhou. Usually, when someone found a girlfriend, they would take them out for a meal together. Some of them deliberately clutched their throats and whined when the food was a little hot. It was really disrespectful.

“Little Ci is a good child. I called her to criticize you, but she still spoke up for you. Don’t be rude to her. She’s your junior sister after all. Be polite to her.

“You’re so good to Wanwan. Why can’t you be more patient with other girls?”

“Qiao Xiyan, with you like this, I’m worried that you’ll make our old Qiao family have no descendants.

Qiao Xiyan frowned. Recently, his father had always liked to mention the topic of children. This was a disguised form of urging him to get married. He had never been like this before. What had provoked him?

‘The snack street in Nanjiang was adjacent to the night market. After dark, it was very lively.

Tang Jingci held the cup of bubble tea and looked around. After hearing Qiao Xiyan finish the call, she turned to look at him. “This looks delicious…”

“Do you want some?” After all, it was a snack. There were many tourists, so it was not an exaggeration to say that it was expensive.

Besides, he was the one who had made a mistake. He would try his best to satisfy her regardless of what she wanted to eat.

Just as Tang Jingci was about to speak, someone bumped into her back. She was caught off guard and staggered, falling onto a passerby at the side.

Qiao Xiyan’s hands were quick. He held her arm and could only pull her into his embrace.

“Sorry!” Tang Jingci hurriedly apologized to the passerby, who shook his head and walked away.

His body was a little hot and had a faint smell of tobacco. But Tang Jingci was different. Her arms were thin, and her body was cold.

“Big Sister, I’m sorry!” The person who had bumped into her was a child playing with someone.

“It’s okay.” When Tang Jingci came back to her senses, half of her body was leaning on Qiao Xiyan’s arms. She struggled slightly and said softly, “Thank you.”

“No problem.”

Qiao Xiyan let go. There was still a lingering cold touch on his fingertips. Her arm was tender and smooth

‘When he was young, he had held Song Fengwan’s hand and brought her across the street. Her arms and hands were all meaty. How could they be as slender as hers?

He felt a little uncomfortable when she bumped into him just now.

He subconsciously rubbed his fingers and suddenly became hot.

It was like seeing a ghost.

Tang Jingci hurriedly withdrew from his arms and even checked the bubble tea. Thankfully, she was almost done drinking and hadn’t spilled it. She took an awkward sip of bubble tea to calm herself down.

The arm he had touched was surprisingly hot and a little numb.

“It’s almost the end,” Qiao Xiyan reminded.

“Okay, let’s go back.”

‘When the two of them returned to the car, Qiao Xiyan took out his phone. “You want to save my number?”

“Sure.

“Let me tell you. One-eighty-seven…”

‘Tang Jingci input his number and made his contact name: [Severe Amnesia Patient]

Feeling that this wasn’t enough to vent her anger, she added a few exclamation marks.

“It’s not convenient to make calls with my phone.” Tang Jingci bit her lip. She had chatted with Song Fengwan for a long time last night and knew that chatting on WeChat was popular in China nowadays. It was very convenient to use the internet, so she had also downloaded the app.

Her meaning was to add him on WeChat.

‘Thus, Qiao Xiyan opened the glove compartment of the car, took out an envelope, and handed it to her. “Since it’s not convenient for you, here. This is my secondary SIM card. You can use it first.”

“Secondary card?” Tang Jingci held the envelope with the communication company’s logo, her palm a little hot.

“Isn’t yours inconvenient?”

“Thank you.” Tang Jingci gripped the envelope tightly and didn’t say anything else.

When they returned at night, Qiao Xiyan was called outside by his father to have a talk again. It was nothing more than lecturing him, nagging, and so on. The two of them walked on the beach for a long time

Qiao Wangbei didn’t know why, but he was full of emotions recently.

From talking about him being mischievous when he was young, to talking about how it wasn’t easy to raise him, to talking about getting married and having children, Qiao Wangbei talked about all sorts of things

Qiao Xiyan could swear that his father hadn’t said as much to him as he did today in the past year.

‘When his father wasn’t paying attention, he took out his phone and searched online. [Do men also have menopause?]

ee

Qiao Xiyan was dragged to the beach by his father for a lecture. Meanwhile, Fu Chen was overjoyed.

Song Fengwan was so tired that she felt her waist was broken. A certain old man even kindly pinched her waist and legs. A certain little girl groaned. Thankfully, she didn’t have the strength, or else she would have definitely kicked him.

Fu Chen took out his phone and prepared to set an alarm. She was going to the prison to visit Song Jingren tomorrow, and the time was fixed.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw Duan Linbai’s message.

“F*ck, Third Fu, do you know how sly Jing Hanchuan is?! He brought a bunch of specialties back. I thought he would eat them himself, but he went around visiting people and said something about bringing back gifts from his trip.

“The moment my parents received his gift, they immediately scolded me. They said that I was inferior to him and didn’t even bring them a gift.

“I go to Nanjiang every year. They’re tired of eating those things. They didn’t want them themselves and said that I was wasteful. Now, they criticized me? F*ck, I can’t live like this anymore.

“F*ck, I’m so pissed!”

Fu Chen couldn’t help laughing. Jing Hanchuan had lived under his father’s tyranny for a long time, so he was naturally good at gaining the favor of his elders. Comparing himself to him, wasn’t Duan Linbai asking for a snub?

His grandma also liked Jing Hanchuan a lot. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a granddaughter. Otherwise, she would have sent her to the Jing family long ago.

At this moment, Jing Hanchuan was leisurely feeding his fish at home.

What’s so fun about falling in love? Are girls more delicious than my cakes or cuter than my fish?

Treally don’t understand, Those two men from the Fu family used to be mature and steady, but now they’re just two little fools in love!

No, big fools!
