Chapter 24: Thin-skinned?

Qi Ze put down his phone, picked up the cup and prepared to go downstairs to get a glass of water, but he heard a quarrel coming from downstairs.

He raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure.

Open the door slightly so you can hear more clearly.

"Can you please stop making trouble!" Qi Fengyuan's roar came along with the sound of a cup falling to the ground.

After a moment of silence, Li Li started arguing more fiercely.

"I'm going to make a fuss, and if I don't, you'll be reunited with someone else's family.

You have been flirting with other women all these years, but I can just ignore it and not make a fuss.

But you can't have children outside with someone else. ”

Li Li's voice was sharp and gnashed with teeth.

"Now you not only have a five-year-old daughter outside, but also a pregnant mistress. You really know how to enjoy the blessing of having two wives."

"That's enough. Stop interfering in these matters and just be a good Mrs. Qi."

Qi Fengyuan roared this and then softened his voice.

"Don't worry, I love you the most. Those things outside were just a whim. If you don't like me, just be careful in the future. Stop making trouble, okay?"

The noise behind gradually became quieter and Qi Ze closed the door.

A sneer.

The so-called loving couple are nothing but hypocritical and dirty accomplices.

*

The alarm rang, a white and tender hand fumbled to turn it off, and he turned over in a daze to wait for the next alarm.

Suddenly the person on the bed sat up with a somersault.

"Ouch!" I used too much force and felt a pain in my ankle.

Jiang Mingyue didn't care and turned around to pick up the phone that was charging on the bedside table.

Six thirty-three.

"It's okay, it's okay."

She let out a long sigh.

I sat on the bed for another two minutes.

I didn't get out of bed until 6:35.

After packing up, I went downstairs holding the stairs.

"Hehe, good morning. Good morning, Aunt Du."

"You got up so early today. I was going to go up and call you."

When Aunt Du saw her coming down the stairs, she hurried forward and helped her sit down.

Jiang Mingyue took the opportunity to tell Aunt Du that Qi Ze was coming to pick her up.

"Aunt Du, you don't have to send me off today. My classmate is on his way and he can take me to school," Jiang Mingyue took a bite of the cold lotus root slices.

Aunt Du: "Is it the classmate who sent you back yesterday?"

"Yes."

"He takes you on a motorcycle...is it safe?" Aunt Du put the prepared pumpkin pancakes in front of her.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the time.

Seven o'clock sharp.

"It's safe. He rides very slowly. Don't worry."

"Okay then."

Jiang Mingyue thought the pumpkin pancakes were good and said, "Auntie Du, do you have any more pumpkin pancakes? I want to bring some to my classmates."

Aunt Du smiled and said, "Yes, I know you like to bring them to your classmates, so I made more of them."

"Thank you Auntie Du, please help me pack a few of these rice balls."

"Okay."

Jiang Mingyue finished her meal quickly and left the house at 7:09.

Qi Ze leaned on the motorcycle, holding his helmet in his arms, looking down at his cell phone.

The morning sunlight shone through the leaves and fell on him, spots like starlight, and jumped with the breeze.

Before Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth to call him, she squeezed out through the crack of the door laughing.

He ran up to Qi Ze, wagging his tail, "Woof woof woof."

"Good morning, you guys," Qi Ze squatted down and played with them.

Jiang Mingyue suddenly wondered if Qi Ze came to pick her up just to take the opportunity to play with the dogs.

The more I think about it, the more possible it seems.

I suddenly felt like I was redundant, wuwuwuwu.

"Come on, I'll help you get in the car," Aunt Du patted her shoulder.

Jiang Mingyue came back to her senses and said, "Oh, okay."

"Qi Ze, good morning," Jiang Mingyue waved at him.

"Good morning, Auntie," Qi Ze stood up and greeted her.

Aunt Du smiled and said, "Morning, morning, morning. Thank you for your help, Yueyue."

"It's not a problem. We are all in the same class."

"Then be careful on the road."

"good."

Qi Ze handed the helmet to her, put it on himself, and got on the motorcycle.

Aunt Du helped Jiang Mingyue sit down and said, "Hold on tight."

"Well, let's go then. You can go in with Xixihaha."

The two of them rushed into the school gate just before the morning reading bell rang.

Qi Ze carried her up the stairs, and Jiang Mingyue let him put her down.

"Help me in, otherwise my classmates will stare at me again. I'm shy and will be embarrassed."

Qi Ze sneered as if he heard a joke.

If she is considered thin-skinned, then there is no one who is thick-skinned.

Jiang Mingyue heard his sneer and glanced at him, "Why, do you have any objection to what I said?"

Qi Ze took his schoolbag from her and said seriously, "No, you are absolutely right."

Jiang Mingyue didn't believe what he said, but there was no need to ask further questions.

"Wait a minute," she stopped, took off her schoolbag, and took out the packed pumpkin pie, "Here you go, pumpkin pie and rice balls."

Qi Ze hesitated for a moment and took it.

"What are you two doing standing here? The bell has rung and you're still not in the classroom for morning reading?" a scolding came from behind.

Jiang Mingyue was startled.

When they turned around, they saw it was the grade director, Mr. Li, who was standing in the stairwell, looking at them with a frown.

The head teacher is tall and thin, with a handsome appearance, but he is a little bald at a young age. In order to maintain his dignity, he often frowns and looks a little fierce.

"Teacher, we'll be in right away," Jiang Mingyue pulled Qi Ze and rushed to the classroom.

Director Li walked over in two or three steps, looked at her raised right foot, and asked softly, "What's wrong with your foot?"

"It's sprained."

Director Li nodded and said, "Be careful if you sprain it."

Then he said to Qi Ze: "Students should take care of each other more."

Qi Ze pursed his lips and nodded.

"Okay, go in."

In the next few days, Qi Ze carried her up and down the stairs and took her to and from school.

After a week, her ankle no longer hurt and she could step lightly on the ground.

Jiang Mingyue no longer let Qi Ze carry her up and down the stairs. She could walk up slowly holding the stairs.

Uncle Gao's illness had recovered, but his complexion still looked a little bad, so Jiang Mingyue let him rest for a few more days.

In fact, my selfish desire is to spend more time with Qi Ze.

It was not until three weeks later, when her foot was completely healed, that she allowed Uncle Gao to pick her up from school again.

The main thing is that although she is thick-skinned, there must be a limit to everything. She can't always bother Qi Ze. What if he gets annoyed? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

However, he has gained something during this period. By getting along with Qi Ze, his darkening value has now dropped to 80%, which is a good improvement.

118 felt that her progress was a bit slow, [Host, you need to take some measures and be more proactive. 】

Jiang Mingyue propped her head with one hand and looked out the window. The sun was slowly covered by dark clouds and the sky slowly darkened. She said lazily, "Am I not proactive enough?"

118 said firmly: [Not enough, you need to be more proactive and show him more care and love, only then can you pursue him! 】

"What?!"

Jiang Mingyue sat up straight.

[It’s a strategy to capture him, it was a slip of the tongue], 118 quickly corrected the words.

"Oh," Jiang Mingyue supported her head again and tilted her body to look outside.

[You can think of some measures similar to food guides], 118 suggested.

"Okay, then I'll think about it."

The sky had turned completely gloomy, and soon it began to rain heavily.

The raindrops falling on the warm earth stimulated a smell of earth, which was very pleasant.

By the time school was over, the rain had not stopped and was getting heavier.

However, most of the students here are picked up and dropped off by cars, and the rain cannot stop them from rushing out of the classroom.

Jiang Mingyue packed her things and came to Qi Ze.

Qi Ze was playing games just like she did on her first day here after school.

Jiang Mingyue sat next to him and waited for him to finish.
