These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Xu Qingtan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head slightly and found that on the other side of the tree, there was Jiang Yuqi sitting and leaning against the tree!

Damn! How unlucky am I today?!

What are you doing here?

Jiang Yuqi looked at Xu Qingtan strangely, "Do I... need to report in advance to be here?"

Xu Qing squinted, "I'm asking when you arrived?"

"It's been a long time... I don't remember."

"So what did you hear?"

Jiang Yuqi scratched his head. "What did you say? I didn't understand. It was weird."

"...It's alright now."

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jiang Yuqi probably didn't have time to think about the strange things happening here, after all, his heart was even more unsettled than his own.

"You guys didn't go drinking?"

Jiang Yuqi leaned against the tree and asked in a muffled voice.

Xu Qingtan also leaned against the tree, but the two were facing opposite directions, which did not hinder their conversation.

"How can you drink after making such a scene? Besides, I already said I wouldn't drink."

Jiang Yuqi frowned. "Where did I cause trouble? I was just telling the truth."

Xu Qing said irritably, "They don't have that kind of relationship. Even if they did, do you think you're telling the truth or being sarcastic?"

"I..." Jiang Yuqi seemed unable to explain the problem, and could only say with a frustrated expression, "Is she angry?"

"nonsense."

"What should I do?"

"If you're angry, just apologize. It's funny that you're asking me what to do."

"Isn't apologizing a loss of face?"

"Don't you men all care a lot about saving face...?"

"Heh, you talk like you're not a man."

Jiang Yuqi said with a smile, "What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener."

It seemed that Xu Qingtan then realized that he had unknowingly revealed a flaw, but it seemed that the other party had not thought of that at all.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "If we don't apologize, things might just pass by like this, and things will get better in a while."

Jiang Yuqi said, "But surely we'll lose something, right?"

Xu Qing was taken aback by the sudden question. "Lose what?"

Jiang Yuqi shook his head. "I don't know... I always feel like I'm going to lose something, which is not good... Maybe I did say something wrong, but I don't know why. Now that I think about my past self, I hate myself."

Xu Qing couldn't help but feel awkward. "Is it so hard to say you like her?"

Jiang Yuqi remained silent for a long time, then stood up and said, "I'll treat you to drinks next time to make up for it. I'm going back now."

Xu Qing knew that it was indeed quite difficult to say out loud that you liked someone.

Although the future is uncertain, and no one knows what they will become or what they will look like, it's also unknown whether they, or the other person, are the best choice.

So... why should we choose the best?

Xu Qing didn't understand the question either; perhaps everyone is competitive.

Speaking first means you've already lost the game.

Whether you like it or not.

"Sigh... let's go back."

Xu Qing thought about it for a long time and realized that she couldn't understand this mess either. Some things still had to be faced. Jiang Yuqi and Qin Xiaoman could handle their own affairs. All good things must come to an end. If they were destined not to be friends in the end, then it was okay to feel a little sorry.

There's no need to dwell on it.

As for the other boy...

Why should I be afraid of him! I'm not one of his senior or junior sisters. I have nothing to fear!

So Xu Qing strode towards Xiaoyuan Peak, crossed the suspension bridge, and it seemed that the boy was no longer there. She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As soon as I stepped outside my yard, I saw him sitting calmly in a chair.

His face was still so handsome, with perfect features. To be honest, even Ji Xiangwan, who dressed in luxurious and flamboyant clothes, couldn't compare to this young man in terms of appearance.

At this moment, he sat there quietly, a gentle breeze ruffling his black hair, his beautiful eyes watching his arrival.

As expected... I still really want to run away.

Xu Qing forced himself to hold back; if he ran away now, there would be no way to explain it.

So she took a deep breath and then pushed open the gate to the yard.

Looking at the silent boy sitting in his seat, he tried his best to appear normal.

"Did you need something, senior brother?"

Wei Tu glanced at her. "Don't you know why I'm looking for you?"

Xu Qingtan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head directly, "Of course I don't know..."

"Don't you know why you're blushing?"

Wei Tu asked with amusement, "This girl's skin isn't thick enough. She hasn't inherited the tradition of Xiaoyuan Peak... Wait, speaking of which, it seems like I'm the only one with thick skin in Xiaoyuan Peak."

They can deny the facts without blushing or their heart racing.

Xu Qing knew she was blushing because she could feel her cheeks getting warm, but she didn't turn around and run away. Instead, she stubbornly raised her face and said, "I just used too much force while practicing swordsmanship, and I'm a little tired!"

Wei Tu picked at his ear. "Alright, alright, I'm not deaf, why are you shouting like that?"

"How...how would I know if you could hear me? The wind was quite strong..."

Is there any wind blowing?

Xu Qingtan only knew that the wind had blown the strands of hair on the side of his face, the unruly black hair, and he just wanted someone to cut it off.

Wei Tu looked at her and asked.

Why did you see me running before?

"...I didn't run away."

She raised her head, like a competitive fighting rooster.

Wei Tu stood up immediately upon hearing this blatant lie.

"Boom!"

Xu Qingtan squatted on the ground, clutching her forehead and groaning in pain; it wasn't just her being dramatic.

It was because Wei Tu really used a lot of force this time; the sound of her head buzzing was so loud from the knocking that her head must have become red and swollen!

How could that bastard do this?!

It hurts so much... Damn it...

She couldn't recover for a long time.

Wei Tu stood calmly in front of her, seemingly without any intention of showing her any pity, and said calmly.

"If you keep lying to me so blatantly, next time I won't just hit you on the head."

Where else would you like to knock?!

Xu Qingtan covered his forehead, looked up, and glared fiercely at Wei Tu, but the boy ignored him as if he hadn't seen him.

"You can glare at me, but looks can't kill. When you're stronger than me, I'll give you a beating. But for now, let's not do anything pointless that will only make things worse for us."

Xu Qing had learned her lesson this time. Although she was still extremely resentful, she obediently lowered her head.

"say."

Wei Tu also squatted down and looked at her.

Xu Qingtan lowered his head, covered his forehead, and said in a muffled voice, "I forgot my things at the sword-training area, and suddenly remembered to go back to get them..."

She came up with a reasonably good excuse on the spot. The other party probably couldn't tell the difference between being flustered and suddenly remembering something and turning back, right?

My escape shouldn't be too obvious, right?

Wei Tu smiled and looked at Xu Qingtan, "What did you leave there? Was it your brain?"

"It's your brain!"

She glared at Wei Tu, who smiled back at her.

Then the girl lowered her head in a show of weakness. She was indeed afraid of being hit on the forehead again; it really hurt, and it was still ringing.

"I'm smart, right... all I do is bully people..."

Wei Tu looked at Xu Qingtan with amusement, "If you weren't so strange, would I have asked? And you blame me for bullying you? Do you even know what politeness is? You saw your senior brother and didn't even greet him, you turned around and ran away like you saw a monster. I even had to go back and look in the mirror."

"Pfft..."

Xu Qingtan couldn't help but laugh.

He chuckled twice, but then seemed to realize that laughing like that would be too embarrassing, so he forced himself to hold it in.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he stood up.

"You've asked, is everything alright now? Can you ask your senior brother to go back?"

Xu Qingtan definitely needs a break to adjust his mindset.

However, Wei Tu stood up and sat back down in the chair, slowly crossing his legs.

"Your senior brother hasn't come back for so long, this attitude is really disheartening!"

"It's only been less than ten days, why is it taking so long... and you're upset?"

Xu Qing didn't believe the boy's nonsense at all. Whenever he saw him, he was always smiling. Even when faced with great danger, he remained unusually calm. To say that he would be sad... even a dog would shake its head.

"Ten days is a long time, okay? I'm exhausted. Make your senior brother a cup of tea."
