"Teacher, so your surname is also Ji?"
Master Qianmu was taken aback, then couldn't help but burst into loud laughter:
"Nanzhi, are you only finding out now?"
Nan Zhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed; she felt she had asked a very stupid question.
Shen Xingmian lowered his head and let out a soft laugh, which made Nanzhi unable to resist squeezing his hand tightly.
Immediately afterwards, Master Qianmu asked:
“You young people must have a lot to talk about. I’ll go wash some fruit first.”
After saying that, she got up, took the fruit that Ji Fan had brought, and went to the kitchen.
Without Master Qianmu present, the air became quite silent.
Nan Zhi felt something was off. After a long while, she heard Shen Xingmian say:
Are you very free?
Ji Fan glanced at him, then spoke calmly:
No.
Nanzhi: "..."
So, these two don't know each other, do they?
Nan Zhi looked at this one, then at that one, and finally asked Shen Xingmian softly.
"You two know each other?"
Shen Xingmian nodded, and Nan Zhi blinked in confusion before continuing:
How do you know him?
"classmate."
The two were speaking loudly enough that Ji Fan could hear them clearly.
He glanced at Shen Xingmian, and then he continued:
"I met him and Song Yiming when I first came here to study."
Nanzhi nodded in sudden realization; that made sense.
After chatting for a while, Master Qianmu came out with the washed and cut fruit.
"Come and try it, it's fresh."
He placed the fruit platter among them and excitedly offered it to Nanzhi and Shen Xingmian.
Nanzhi ate a grape; it was very sweet, and it was a variety she had never tasted before.
Seeing that Shen Xingmian didn't move, she used a toothpick to pick up a piece and handed it to him, saying, "Eat it, it's quite delicious."
Shen Xingmian put it in her mouth; it was indeed quite sweet.
As noon approached, Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian prepared to leave, but Master Qianmu persuaded them to stay for lunch.
Finally, he persuaded me to stay.
Master Qianmu sent Ji Fan to the kitchen to cook.
She continued chatting with Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian.
It was already past two o'clock when we left Master Qianmu's manor.
Back home, Nanzhi was surprised to find Xu Qingzhou standing outside the courtyard.
Upon seeing Nanzhi return, Xu Qingzhou was about to run over, but when he saw Shen Xingmian getting out of the car behind him, he stopped and kept a distance from Nanzhi.
"Nanzhi, you're back?"
Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile.
Nan Zhi frowned, recalling the last time his mother came to see her. But in the end, Xu Qingzhou was right; his mother probably had paranoia.
How did you know I was here?
Xu Qingzhou chuckled, "You don't need to know this. It's my older brother. He said he wanted to meet you, but he doesn't know if you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Nan Zhi say in a slightly cold tone:
"I don't have time, and I don't want to see you."
Xu Qingzhou frowned in confusion. "Why?"
Nan Zhi: "I don't know her, and there's no need for me to meet her."
It's nothing more than showing off her superiority and throwing money around. Once is enough; she doesn't want to do it again. She's not a masochist.
Just as Xu Qingzhou was about to try to persuade her again, Nan Zhi opened the door, went inside, and closed it in one swift motion.
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
His gaze fell on Shen Xingmian. "Mr. Shen, do you know what happened to Nanzhi?"
Shen Xingmian replied indifferently, "I don't know."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, went inside, and closed the door.
Xu Qingzhou looked frustrated. What happened? Nan Zhi was quite easy to get along with last time she met her, so why did she become so fierce this time?
I don't know what my elder brother meant by having him personally invite Nanzhi.
After Xu Qingzhou explained the situation to Xu Chaoci, Xu Chaoci frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Then he simply spoke with a detached expression:
"I'll go see her myself another day."
"Brother, why are you looking for Nanzhi? I feel like she wasn't as nice to me as she usually is today."
Thinking of this, Xu Qingzhou was also puzzled. Xu Chaoci glanced at him, thinking about his younger brother's personality, and wondered if he had done something to displease someone.
In any case, since Nanzhi is her aunt's daughter, the Xu family is determined to acknowledge her.
After Xu Qingzhou's visit, Nan Zhi didn't take it to heart and continued her life as usual.
I saw the Xu family again a month later.
Also at the courtyard gate, the man was tall but also cold. Upon seeing Nanzhi, he merely nodded slightly to her, his voice indifferent:
"Hello, I am Xu Chaoci, Xu Qingzhou's older brother."
Nanzhi: "..."
Is this Xu family never going to stop? Why are they always coming to bother her?
Thinking of this, Nan Zhi's expression also darkened. She glanced at Xu Chao Ci and said indifferently:
"Is there something you need?"
Xu Chaoci's gaze fell on her face. Looking at her face to face, she really looked exactly like her grandmother in the photo.
"I'd like to talk to you, but I don't know if you have time?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi scoffed coldly. Yet another person had come to advise her to stay away from Xu Qingzhou.
Nan Zhi was about to say that she didn't have time, but then her eyes darted around and she seemed to remember something. She nodded slightly and said, "Come in."
After speaking, she opened the courtyard gate and let Xu Chaoci in. At this time, Shen Xingmian had not yet returned, and Nanzhi also planned to finish as soon as possible.
