On a certain morning a few months later, the first rays of the morning sun peeked out. A faint halo of light quickly spread out, covering the clouds and earth.

However, after breakfast, it began to drizzle outside. The sky was slightly dark, and the wind carried a sharp chill.

Zhanxi lit a lamp in the room and used the warm light to fasten Xue Yang's thin velvet cloak.

It was the changing of the seasons. Three days ago, after Zhanyan took Xue Yang out to play for a day, she began to cough. Until last night, she had a low fever. Fortunately, she was better today, but her nose was red and she didn't cough anymore.

After fastening the cloak, she pinched Xue Yang's pink little face and said, "Next time your Big Brother Ah Yan says he wants to take you out to play, you're not allowed to go.

Where do you want to go? Big Sister will take you. Your Big Brother Ah Yan doesn't know how to take care of people at all.

Do you feel good after catching a cold, en? "

Xue Yang pursed her lips and shook her head. Her expression was very serious. Her eyes were like jade, shining and dazzling between the dim light and the unusually bright light.

Zhanxi casually brushed aside the bangs in front of her forehead and lowered her head to kiss the child's smooth forehead. She said, "Ah Ling said he brought back a few rare toys from Lanling.

Ah Yang, be a good girl and drink your medicine. We'll quickly go and take a look. "

After saying this, she quickly took the steaming medicine from the table and placed it in front of Xue Yang.

The bitter smell and color made it so that Xue Yang didn't even have time to retreat. Her face went pale and she froze in place. Then, she unwillingly turned her face away and said in a small voice, "No, it's too bitter."

"After drinking the medicine, you'll have a lot of sweets to eat." Zhanxi smiled and coaxed, "Hawthorn candy, maltose candy, and white rabbit candy.

When your cold is better, I'll take you to the imperial city to eat good food. "

"… I'm not going there." After drinking the medicine all night, Xue Yang's face turned green. The tip of her tongue was unbearably bitter.

"Okay, I'll go wherever I want," Zhanxi said straightforwardly.

She walked down the steps and opened her umbrella. The wet courtyard was filled with the scent of winter grass. "Ah, I almost forgot … Ah Yang, if you see someone with a cute smile later, you have to be a little more polite. Don't be careless and be taken away." She lowered her eyes and suddenly smiled very kindly.

There was a row of lotus lanterns on the lotus pond in front of the Lotus Pier. The light from the lanterns intertwined with the rainwater on the ground, as if some kind of color was flowing.

Jin Ling waited in the room for a long time. The plushie in his hand had been squashed several times and became wrinkled. Only then did Zhanxi lead Xue Yang into the room — she still looked listless.

Jiang Cheng guessed that she had forgotten to pour two bottles of alcohol this morning.

Zhanxi didn't comment on Jiang Cheng's mockery. She closed the umbrella and hung it on the railing.

"… Hmph."

Zhanxi stared at Jiang Cheng — Kim Kwang-yao next door. Then, she quickly turned around and left.

It was as if she was warding off evil spirits.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look sideways. Lan Xichen put away his surprised expression and said, "Ah Yao?"

Kim Kwang-yao: "…" She almost couldn't hold back her laughter anymore???

Lan Xichen: "…" She wanted to know what Miss Chan meant before the ellipsis???

Jiang Zongzhu: "…"

Jiang Cheng guessed that Zhanxi was still brooding over the incident a few months ago when he was "forced to ride on his sword to save a beauty".

Nonsense, if it were him, he would have directly struck her with a bolt of purple lightning.

This Kim girl was too much of a scammer. She was even scammer than that Nie guy.

# As expected of Kim Kwang-yao #

A few months ago, Jiang Cheng invited Zhanxi to the Imperial City for a drink for the first time.

After Zhanxi met the winemaker, she found out that the female cultivator who went on a "blind date" with Jiang Cheng was his younger sister who was three years younger than him.

Everything was a terrible misunderstanding. At that time, she even boasted that she would be "destined to be alone for the rest of her life".

Then there was the Lin siblings who made the wine.

It was said that the siblings were Jiang Cheng's close friends from the same hometown when he was young. A few years ago, they went to live in Dongying with their parents. They just came back a few months ago and were preparing to settle down in the Imperial City.

Jiang Cheng's trip this time was to welcome his friends back.

The elder brother's name was Lin Qing. He said that he didn't care about anything. The younger sister's name was Lin Ying. She was easily shy in front of strangers. Zhanxi greeted her. Before she could say more than three words, the girl had already blushed and hid behind her brother.

Was she a child?

Zhanxi had a cold expression. Jiang Cheng had to emphasize, "She likes to wear men's clothes."

In Zhanxi's opinion, it was even worse than using "surname Zhan, name Xi, no character" to introduce herself.

But it was fine. She didn't mind being a little petty.

Eating dinner in the biggest restaurant in the Imperial City, Zhanxi was lucky enough to taste the cherry wine made by Lin Qing — it was a little sweet. She had never tasted such a sweet wine before. From the color to the taste, it reminded her of cherry blossoms in early spring.

There was a private room in the restaurant, but Lin Qing didn't like it. Therefore, after Jiang Cheng booked the private room, he immediately checked it out and booked a private room by the window on the second floor.

The moonlight was like a wash. The rich and luxurious Imperial City was brightly lit.

When she was eating, Zhan Xi heard a commotion coming from above. She looked outside and saw a person falling from the window. His white robe was like a ghost, causing her to choke on the cherry blossom wine that she was drinking.

Lin Qing said calmly, "A few days ago, that group of people was also like this. Anyway, they won't die from the fall.

Let's not care about them. Let's continue drinking! "

Zhanxi slightly leaned out and looked down. She saw a man in white bending down to pick up a fan that had fallen on the ground. When he looked up, his sharp eyes were covered in a layer of haze. Zhanxi felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her eyes, messing up her bangs. "What the hell."

She cursed in a low voice. She straightened her bangs and returned to her seat.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng pulled Lin Qing to stand up. Zhanxi looked at him strangely. "Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Cheng's face darkened. "Sit down," he said.

Zhanxi said, "Oh." She picked up her chopsticks and lowered her head to eat. She thought that Jiang Zongzhu's temper was really hard to guess.

It was at this moment that she saw Kim Kwang-yao by chance.

He was wearing a golden star snow robe, which was more eye-catching than Jiang Zongzhu's purple clothes.

As soon as he walked out of the private room, Zhanxi moved her seat and slipped to Jiang Cheng's seat. She picked up the wine glass in front of her and gulped down the wine.

At this time, she had to pretend that she didn't see him.

When it came to Jin GuangYao, she had always been unconsciously wary of him.

"I'm going out for a walk."

"But Jiang Zongzhu told Miss Chan to sit down and not go anywhere."

"He didn't say that."

"That's what Ah Cheng meant."

Lin Ying's voice gradually lowered, and her face gradually turned red.

Zhanxi was shocked by the "Ah Cheng" that her back went numb. However, her face was still cold, and her whole body seemed to emit cold air.

She took the sword leaning on the table and climbed up the window. She turned around and said, "I'll be back in a little while."

Just as she was about to leave, she threw the sword to Lin Ying. "If someone comes to bother you, use this to chop them."

Lin Ying didn't have time to stop her. She could only look down curiously and observe the pattern on the sword hilt.

At this moment, Zhanxi remembered that she needed to buy some accessories. Zhanyan had just bought a few women's clothes and was lacking these things …

Zhanxi was almost furious when she was picking out the accessories. Why would she do such a thing for a stupid brother with a special hobby?!

What a waste of time!

Zhanyan loved silver but not gold. He loved gems but not pearls. He loved light colors but not dark colors. He loved uniqueness but not the masses.

Zhanxi looked coldly from a hibiscus hairpin to a jinhua hairpin. She looked at all the artificial flowers in the shop. Her expression became more and more disgusted. What kind of place did Huangcheng think it was? Apart from food, there wasn't even a decent accessory.

She asked the boss if she could order one. The boss said yes. Zhanxi temporarily left the jewelry shop. She curled her lips and said, "Gems."

"Where's the most expensive and beautiful gems?"

"Miss Song's."

At night, the Song family, a wealthy merchant family in Huangcheng, held a big banquet for their youngest daughter's birthday. Zhanxi bypassed the guard's line of sight and jumped onto the eaves. She crossed her arms and watched the opera on the stage.

She couldn't tell what it was, so she had to do business first. Who knew that she would be caught as soon as she jumped onto the grass.

It was Kim Kwang-yao again.

Zhanxi spread her hands. "Kim Jong-ju, hello."

Rude.

Kim Jong-ju couldn't care less about Jiang Zongzhu's people. He just smiled at the young man beside him. "A friend."
