抖荫

When Song Qingyou opened the gift box and took out the card, she didn’t avoid anyone.

Hence, Xu Mingrui casually looked up and saw the contents of the card.

He furrowed his brows, and his expression looked a little disdainful.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Mingrui stammered, “Sister, my cousin, he…Is he chasing after you?”

“So far, that should be it.” Song Qingyou put the card into the gift box and raised an eyebrow.

“Then you…” Xu Mingrui’s expression was strange.” What do you think of my cousin?”

“Interesting?”

Song Qingyou gave an ambiguous answer.

She didn’t know much about Xu Qinian.

But in Xu Mingrui’s ears, it meant that she had a good impression of Xu Qinian.

This made him want to persuade Song Qingyou to ignore his cousin, but he couldn’t say it out loud.

Of course, among everyone present, Jiang Zhihan was the most anxious.

When the latter heard this, he immediately began to pull at Song Qingyou’s pants.

Firstly, he wanted to see what Xu Qinian had sent over.

Secondly, he wanted Song Qingyou to reject the gift.

Song Qingyou bent down.

“Meow-”

Being stared at, the kitten didn’t stop scratching. It kept scratching and even wanted to jump onto Song Qingyou’s arm.

This jumping up and down appearance, could it be the “restless” that Shu Ling had mentioned?

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows and closed the lid of the gift box. She asked Xu Mingrui as if she was chasing him away, “I’ve received the gift. Is there anything else?”

“You…” Xu Mingrui was surprised. “Just like that, you accepted it?”

“Or else?” Song Qingyou chuckled and said deliberately, “I think this bracelet is very valuable. What’s wrong with someone giving me money?”

Xu Mingrui was unable to refute for a long time.

Song Qingyou clicked her tongue. “I think you’re a good person. As your cousin,

Chief Editor Xu must be the same, so…”

Xu Mingrui was afraid that she would say, ‘It’s fine even if I agree to be with Xu Qinian,’ so he quickly told her the ‘truth’.

“No, my cousin is completely different from me.”

“His ex-girlfriends added together might be more than the number of people

of the opposite sex I know.”

“Definitely, definitely not someone worth dating!”

He originally did not plan to speak ill of his cousin behind his back, but now he had to. After all, he did not want to see his friend go astray.

“Meow-”

“Mingrui is right.”

Song Qingyou looked down at the cat, who seemed to be echoing Xu Mingrui, and her lips curled up silently.

Xu Mingrui didn’t get a response from Song Qingyou. He thought she didn’t believe him and wanted to say more.

However, before he could open his mouth, he heard the other party’s laughter.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in Chief Editor Xu.”

After saying that, she stuffed the gift box back into his hand.

“Since Chief Editor Xu is overseas, please return it to him for me and tell him that I won’t accept it without merit.”

“Alright.”

Xu Mingrui agreed readily.

He was afraid that if he was a second slower, Song Qingyou would go back on her word.

Because in his eyes, this sister was a little greedy.

“I have nothing else to do. I’ll go back to my room first. See you tomorrow.

Goodnig-”

Xu Mingrui held the gift box and wished he could teleport back to his room.

Song Qingyou had only said part of the word “goodnight.”

“Forget it.” She picked up her cat. “Say goodnight, Zhizhi.”

“Meow-”

‘Goodnight:

Song Qingyou complained to the cat as she closed the door, “It seems like our

Little Director Xu was shocked by our first meeting.”

“I only asked him for 500 yuan for the car fare and money to save my life. He actually thought that 1 was the kind of person who would sell my soul for money.”

Song Qingyou smiled as she said this.

It was most likely a joke.

However, Jiang Zhihan still placed his hand on the back of her hand, “Meow-”

“You can sell it to me.”

“Zhizhi, don’t worry.” Song Qingyou held the cat’s paw. “The doll I made for you will be ready tomorrow.”

Jiang Zhihan was speechless.

When did he worry?

Also, why did Song Qingyou’s expression make it seem like the doll was his elixir?

Jiang Zhihan couldn’t figure it out and could only watch as Song Qingyou continued to make dolls.

The next day, Fu Chen and the others helped pick tea leaves as usual.

Because of the tea garden on the mountain, more than half of them had been picked.

Therefore, everyone agreed that Song Qingyou, who had contributed the most, should do the most leisurely ‘work’, which was to help take care of Jiang Yi.

Song Qingyou was happy and relaxed. According to Jiang Yi’s wishes, she took him to play with Yinyin, who was on holiday this weekend.

Although Yinyin was two years older than Xiao Jiangfl], the two children got along very well.

As they played, the two of them turned their attention to Zhizhi.

“Sister Qingyou, can we play with the cat?”

Yinyin cleverly pulled Jiang Yi over to ask Song Qingyou.

Song Qingyou thought about it and felt that the two children might just want to pet the cat, so she agreed.

Who knew that the little girl did not want to touch the cat, but used the cat as a model to dress it up.

Looking at the mess of things the two brought over, including not only flowers but also lace, Song Qingyou’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

However, cats probably did not understand human aesthetics, so it was fine…Right?

Song Qingyou had just thought of this when she saw Zhizhi’s reproachful gaze.

She could read his thoughts from his furry face, ’Is this how you treat me?¹

“Zhizhi, be good. I’ll make you some jerky when we get back.” Song Qingyou felt guilty.

The cat did not respond.

While the cat was in a daze, the little girl took a lace ribbon and put it on the cat’s neck.

Jiang Zhihan noticed something was wrong and immediately jumped away from the two kids.

“Kitty, don’t run! I haven’t put it on yet!”

Yinyin grabbed the lace and chased after him with a bunch of flowers.

Although she was a little girl, she was at the age where cats and dogs were disgusted, so she was very naughty.

Jiang Yi followed suit.

Song Qingyou could tell that Zhizhi hated being “dressed up”. She remembered that on Blessed Immortal lsland[2], Zhizhi had ignored her because of a flower… She did not help the children catch the cat.

Fortunately, the children had each other. Even if they were entertaining themselves, they could play for a long time.

When Yinyin was no longer interested in the cat, she would drag Jiang Yi to play house.

After a day, Song Qingyou was quite relaxed.

In the afternoon, when she learned that Xiao Jiang was leaving, the lively little girl cried immediately. She wanted her “little brother” to stay and even wanted to drag her little brother to school.

Even Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with tears. He was trying hard not to cry and did not say that he could not bear to part with his new friend. He was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.

The two of them rarely had friends to play with.

It was not strange that their relationship had grown so deep in just two days.

In the end, it was Xu Mingrui who made the decision to let the two of them exchange their contact information. He also promised to bring Jiang Yi over to play when he was free.

Anyway, this was a new scenic spot. If it could really develop, it would not be a loss for the Xu family and the Jiang family to invest.

Moreover, Old Master Jiang seemed to like Jiang Yi and liked drinking tea. It should not be difficult to bring the child over for a holiday.
