Chapter 62: Lingerie

  "It's all gone, the car is gone." Jiang Xinyi reminded her daughter. Generally speaking, the six children of Xia and Zhan families are considered to be quite outstanding. The three siblings of Xia family are not mentioned, but their own eldest daughter Zhan Chui and second son Zhan Yi are both well-versed in literature and martial arts... Unfortunately, there is an old youngest Zhan Chui...

  Alas, Xia Zhige and Li Qiu have left. Zhan Yu is depressed.

  Hey, Xia Fei Han that big plague god also left. Zhan Er turned around and smiled again.

  Zhan Guo and Jiang Xinyi hurried away, while Zhan Mei idly strolled back to the courtyard. With a glance of her big eyes, she caught sight of Duan Yixuan hiding behind a pillar, his eyes darting about.

  "Stop right there!" The captain bellowed, grabbing hold of a certain someone who was frantically trying to make a run for it.

  "......Shi Jie," Duan Yixuan whispered, a blush rising on his handsome face.

  She looked at him suspiciously, doing something bad? He didn't even have the guts: "What are you sneaking around here for?"

  Duan Yixuan's face was slightly sweaty, fortunately, Pei Pei was still a "familiar person", otherwise he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say complete sentences: "I... passed by..."

  "Deceive people," Waru Waru gasped out two words, cutting off, not to mention that this honest man wouldn't lie, ordinary people in front of this master liar would also easily reveal their true intentions: "Are you thinking of sending Li Qiu away?"

  It can be seen from Duan Yixuan's expression alone.

  Looking at his pitiful appearance, Zhan Doudou couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic - they were both fellow travelers in the pursuit of love, how pitiful! Moreover, Li Qiu had a pretty good impression of him too - thinking further ahead, what if they both succeeded in the future? Wouldn't they become family then? He would even have to call her "sister-in-law".

  Thinking of this, the psychological distance between them and Duan Yixuan suddenly narrowed again.

  "Who knows what you're secretly doing in the corner?" Zhang Doudou started to get anxious and asked his way: "You like Li Qiu, right?"

  "I... I'm sorry..." Duan Yixuan stuttered: "I... I was wrong..."

  "What's wrong with liking someone, silly." Zhan Zhu Zhu was also speechless: "If you like him, then bravely pursue him, why sneak around?"

  Duan Yixuan lowered his head, apparently having zero confidence in this aspect: "......I'll just watch..."

  "Pfft, pfft, pfft!" As a brave warrior of love, Zhan Mei couldn't bear to watch anymore. What's the point of liking someone and still being indecisive? She thought it was necessary for her to teach Xiao Duanzi a correct outlook on life, world view, and views on love.

  "Xiao Duanzi, can you tell who I like?" Zhan Zhu Zhu thought it would be better to set a clear example for him first.

  "Huh? Duan Yixuan was a bit confused by her question. It's obvious who she likes these days, but does she have to say it out loud? The process doesn't seem quite right."

  "I like Xia Zhi Gege." Zhang Dou Dou didn't expect to get an answer from Duan Yi Xuan anyway, so she just went ahead and said: "Xia Zhi Gege is my male god, you know what many people in school say, they say I'm a female loser trying to reverse-sweep a high-rich-handsome guy, what do you think?"

  Duan Yi Xuan was gazed at by Zhan Yu with a slanted eye, Duan Yi Xuan savored the words and really wanted to say yes, but still very magnanimously shook his head.

  Children can be taught. Zhan Zhan was quite satisfied with his performance, although she also had a good understanding of herself, but knowing that she and others were making fun of her was a different story: "Actually, I myself know that in many ways I seem to not match up to Xia Zhi Gege, but does it matter? Love is love, as long as there's love and affection, who says there must be external conditions? How pedestrian and plebeian."

  "If you like, pursue; if you love, tell him. At a young age, what's there to be afraid of? If you don't try, you'll only have the road of failure forever. But if you work hard, happiness will have a glimmer of opportunity. Even if it ultimately doesn't succeed, at least you can ask yourself without regret. Don't wait until many years later, looking at the bride and groom, not being you, to regret it too late. You must know that missing love is often not about timing or opportunities, but about the courage to pursue love."

  Jiang Yanyan spoke a long passage of words, encouraging Duan Xuezhang. As Duan Yuxuan listened to her reasonable and eloquent speech, he suddenly felt that Jiang Yanyan seemed completely different from usual.

  Of course, the war is still the same as before. This speech was only used more often to convince myself and others, and after being summarized and improved by my aunt, it seems a bit like a philosophy of love. Unfortunately, she doesn't have my aunt's talent for long-winded speeches.

  Duan Yixuan had a look of being educated, listening carefully.

  "Little Duanzi, look at my condition and I'm still so brave. Take a look at yourself, you're a boy, right? You should show more masculinity. And your conditions are much better than mine, with that brain of yours..." War Dandan said, carefully examining Duan Yixuan's head, but it seemed nothing special, how could he be so smart: "Tsk tsk tsk, your IQ is something Li Qiu has highly praised! I've grown up with her since childhood, and you're the only one she's ever praised!" War Dandan had an expression full of high expectations.

  As soon as Xia Liqiu praised himself, Duan Yixuan's face turned even redder, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak: "R-really?"

  "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied?" Zhang Doudou said with a straight face, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed. He couldn't deceive Xia Feichan, but deceiving this honest kid was easy: "So, little Duanzi, in the future when you meet a girl you like, be proactive! Look at you, this romantic love at first sight just disappeared like that. Sigh."

  Zhan Zhenzhen summarized her argument and then patted Duan Yixuan's shoulder, leaving. Leaving Duan Yixuan in a daze.

  ... She... wasn't she encouraging herself to pursue Xia Liqiu? Then what does this last sentence mean? ... Does it mean that Liqiu himself no longer has a chance? ... Duan Yixuan was perplexed, and the little bit of courage he had just managed to muster up with the encouragement of Zhan Zhu Zhu had vanished into thin air.

  Okay, it's a fact again, Zhang Yimou has no ability to direct theory, he only has the ability to direct action.

  "Little Hezi!" Not far away in the quadrangle courtyard, Zhang Dabao had already begun to shout loudly with full energy.

  Duan Yixuan's glass-like heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

  Because the coaches all went out to see off the guests, the children in the yard naturally relaxed and had a good time. Although they were "taken care of" miserably for several days, everyone was also very impressed that Huang and Yi could hold on to the end and withstand the bombardment of war, plus the support of their original little friends, Huang and Yi actually became the small leader among more than ten children.

  Of course, this situation is also under the tacit consent of war. Although Xiao Hezi's classmate was a bit rebellious and arrogant at first, the fact proved that this child was not bad in nature and had perseverance.

  Warriors have forgotten that they are still two years younger than Huang and Yi, and the old commentators' serious tone is quite pretentious. The mentality has an impact, in the realm of martial arts, it has always been emphasized that those who enter the sect first are considered superior.

  "...Shī jiě." Huang He and Yi now no longer had much resistance to this title, but towards Zhàn Yǔyǔ, they still had a lot of resistance.

  I've never seen a girl with such great physical strength, fighting skills, and yet so arrogant and unreasonable! She's simply the natural nemesis of their "brotherhood". Huang and Yi almost cried, they couldn't beat her, scold her or reason with her, in front of her, they didn't even have room to fight back, it was unbearable.

  "Hehe, okay, I've got some good news to share with you all. From today on, I, Shifu Jie, have broken free from the restraints of personal emotions and can now fully devote myself to training!" Xing Xing beamed a smile, awaiting everyone's enthusiastic cheers: "Are you guys excited?"

  The whole scene was silent. Then, I saw the faces that were originally different, now all wearing the same emotion - no way?! That car, come back quickly!

  "Brother, drink some water." In the rearview mirror, Xia Zhan's figure had already disappeared from view. Xia Liqiu looked at Xia Feihan's face and handed him a cup.

  Li Qiu's voice was soft and gentle, with a soothing effect on people's minds. Xia Fei Han subconsciously compared Zhan Liuli and Li Qiu - one was noble to the point of being in heaven, while the other was humble to the point of being in the dirt.

  The drink had a hint of Chinese medicine flavor, with a slightly refreshing fruit taste. Xia Fei Han was feeling depressed in her heart, and she couldn't help but take two more sips of this cooling and fire-reducing drink.

  "Is it good?" Xia Liqiu looked at him with a faint smile, "Dou Dou specially cooked it for you, he said you've been having a lot of fire in your body lately."

  ...the cool tea that had reached his throat almost sprayed out. Xia Fei Han gritted his teeth, hastily returning the cool tea to Li Qiu. Would Dou Ya Cai be so kind-hearted? There were only two possibilities: first, she had poisoned it with something like croton or second, she wanted to mock him.

  Was the scene just now designed by her? Haha! I knew it would make him furious to death, and even prepared a cool tea. When did she also start using her pig brain to talk about plans and tactics?

  Wasn't it this pre-exam cram session that opened her eyes and raised her IQ? Then isn't he raising a tiger to invite disaster upon himself?

  "Come on, let's all drink." Xia Zhi in front also smiled happily. Liuli and Fei Han were joking around, he and Li Qiu watched the show, this kind of life had been going on for many years, and they were also very experienced in dealing with nature.

  Xia Fei hummed and resolutely refused to touch her things.

  "Brother, why don't you take Doudou and me on a trip together?" Xia Lixiu also started to help Doudou speak up, although not as spoiled as Doudou, but the faintly pleading tone in her words made it hard for people to refuse: "Dad and mom won't let me go out alone, you and big brother are going this time, I'm afraid it'll be several years before I can go out again."

  Xia Fei Han's eyebrows slightly furrowed. Li Qiu said one sentence, which was worth more than that bean sprout saying a hundred sentences. "Our route this time is not suitable for you." It's not about enjoyment, but about experience.

  "The route is dead, but people are alive." Xia Liqiu's eyes sparkled with a smile as he said, "You'll be in the same city for several years to come, and you can even go on a wild outdoor survival trip if you want. Can't we modify the route for this graduation trip? As long as I'm comfortable with the changes, Dandan will definitely have no problem with it."

  If letting Second Brother change his schedule for Tangtang, Second Brother would definitely be unwilling even if he were beaten to death.

  Who said Doudou is his own best friend?

  "Yes, it's not cold, just in time for the autumnal equinox and also a graduation, let's celebrate together." Xia Zhi also helped to persuade.

  "Of course, I can accompany you in autumn." Xia Feihan finally spoke up.

  Xia Zhi smiled lightly, looking at Xia Fei Han's unwilling face in the rearview mirror. Everyone knows that Li Qiu is not a problem, right? "No need to bring Xia Dou? Ha, then you'd better be prepared, I think with Xia Dou's personality, it won't just be War Uncle and War Aunt who will witness, but also go back home and mobilize Dad, Mom, Grandpa and the like. You'll have to withstand it."

  Xia Zhiyue said, Xia Feihan's face is getting longer. These are not possibilities, but the reality that is about to happen. Why did Heaven create cold and heat, why does it play tricks on people?

  Xia Fei hummed and continued to resist. His heart was extremely conflicted at this moment, although he knew that things would ultimately go as Waruo wished, just like they had for so many years, but wanting to personally acknowledge it was too difficult.

  "Your souls have all been hooked away by her."

  His.

  Another delightful thing about this happy summer vacation is that the admission notice from Qingyang High School has finally arrived home.

  Being admitted with a grade of tenth was an expected thing, but wouldn't it be unsettling if I didn't see the admission letter?

  ...Before, I thought that since Xia Zhi Ge had already left Qingyang High School, it wasn't particularly urgent whether she got in or not. But now that things have developed to this point, who would refuse the arrival of happiness - being able to continue as classmates with Li Qiu, and looking at it now, they can even be in the same class again, how great is that!

  Better still, there is said to be a scholarship of 3,000 yuan - first prize 10,000, second to fifth 5,000, sixth to thirteenth 1,000.

  White flower silver... Oh no, it's pink and chubby RMB. Zhan Doudou stared at the third prize scholarship, his eyes were straight.

  "Mom, can you just lend me some money?" Zhan Erduo took advantage of the good mood when his dad and mom were laughing so hard they couldn't close their mouths, and also made a small request.

  "What's the advance for?" Warring States didn't manage household finances, but he managed this unruly daughter.

  "Dad, why is your hearing so good?" Zhan Liuliuli said helplessly, whispering to herself, as if she didn't want him to hear, even if he did, he should pretend not to.

  "A gentleman is upright and straightforward, with a straight back to say what he wants. This is the way of being a person in the Warring States period, and I also hope that this righteous and majestic posture can be passed on to my daughter - unfortunately, this daughter has learned shamelessness and vulgarity from somewhere."

  A girl's family, how can it be like this? The Warring States period sometimes really makes me wonder if I accidentally did something wrong in the past.

  Can't hide it anymore, Zhang Doudou didn't hide it either, and held up the notice in his hand, shaking it for Old Dad to see: "Dad, third-class scholarship, three thousand yuan!"

  "I saw it, the words are so big." Warring States' happiness is not because of this prize money, but because of this achievement - it's normal to put it on Lao Da and Lao Er, but putting it on Xiao Yan is simply a glory: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom won't touch this money, you can dispose of it yourself."

  "Hehe, this little money won't be noticed by Mom and Dad, right?" Zhan Juju smiled slyly and came over to help Zhan Guo massage his shoulders: "Dad, didn't we discuss this? You see, soon I'll be going on a trip with Xia Zhige and Li Qiu, you have to give me some travel money, okay?"

  "Not enough?" The Warring States looked at his daughter, who nodded heavily several times, looking at him with eager eyes.

  "Not enough, then don't go." Zhang Guo ruthlessly refused. Joking aside, don't think that he and Jiang Xingyu have both become old and foolish with no eyesight. This matter of traveling, it's clear that Zhang Doudou is the one who's being hot-headed, Xia Zhi is fine, but as for Fei Han, it's obvious that he's not welcome.

  In theory, this kind of behavior of disturbing others is what he extremely dislikes. However, they have always adopted a free-range attitude towards their children, and since it's between their kids, he turns a blind eye.

  Not stopping is already good enough, still want to get support? Think again.

  Cut, just knowing that Dad is this moral character, so he wants to tell Mom. Zhan Zhu Zhu didn't waste any emotions at all, and directly transferred the object of flattery to his mother: "Mom, you won't be as stubborn as Dad, will you?"

  "Who is an old conservative?" The Warring States period was dissatisfied.

  "Of course it's you." The daughter is the mother's confidante, and the mother understands her thoughts best. After finishing the Warring States period, Jiang Xinyi turned around to look at her daughter: "How much is left?"

  "More is better!" Warmed up instantly, who said that the only good mother in the world is so philosophical.

  "Not allowed!" Zhanguo ordered from beside him.

  "Give you a card?" Jiang Xinru ignored the man's words. Who is the financial minister at home? Whoever has the money has the louder voice.

  She nodded hastily and then began to explain to Jiang Xinyu, "Mom, I promise, I'll try my best not to use the money in the card. My own savings are almost enough, but yesterday Li Qiu secretly showed me the rough itinerary of this trip, it's not one or two weeks, but a whole twenty days! My money is a bit tight. What if something unexpected happens on the road, I wouldn't dare to use their money."

  Ask Xia to borrow money from her brother? How embarrassing, it seems like she's taking advantage of his wealth, but what she really wants is his good looks. Ask Xia if she's cold? Hahaha, the biggest joke ever, he'll probably be happy to help her buy a ticket and kick her back home for free. Ask Li Qiu? ... Others may not know, but this secret of hers is well-known, Li Qiu has no concept of money, she never carries any on her...

  So it's still better to rely on yourself, and be prepared for anything.

  "Yeah, it's always good to be prepared. Spend the money that needs to be spent, don't be stingy." Jiang Xinyi knew that her daughter was usually frugal with money and couldn't compare to the Xia family's three siblings in terms of living standards and quality. On this trip, she wasn't worried about her spending too much money, but rather not spending enough.

  "Uh-huh, I know, but mom is still the best." Jiang Xinyi gave a loud smooch on her mother's face.

  In the past few years, she was taken by her father Lao Da Zhuangding to form a team, which wasn't free of charge. Usually, she would save up some pocket money and pressure money for special occasions. However, there's another reason why she still needs to ask her parents for an advance: mainly because she has to spend some money in a certain place.

  A million dollars can't be saved in one stroke.

  Back to the room, locked the door, still not at ease, sneaked and stuck to the door to listen for a while, making sure there was no sound outside, then tiptoed to his desk, opened the computer, and directly logged into Taobao.

  Tension, tension... Warily rubbed his hands, and with a trembling heart, he typed four words in the search bar.

  Lingerie

  Digression

  Haha, what does this secret weapon look like? Will it work or not?
