Chapter 107 The Degree of Preference
Zhai Jin calmed down, put away the anger and sadness in his eyes, and headed to the golf course.
Everyone was playing golf around Xu Xian. Jiang Shibai, who was standing beside her, had a handsome face full of doting and indulgence, and he only had eyes for her.
Zhai Jin suddenly stopped moving forward, stood still, clenched his fingers into fists, and stared at Xu Xian.
As far as she knew, Xu Xian's family was indeed better off than ordinary people when he was a child, but it was far from the conditions for him to learn golf.
Golf is a game for the nobility. Rich young men like them have been practicing it since childhood. This is the gap between Xu Xian and her.
She was looking forward to seeing Xu Xian make a fool of himself.
The next second, Xu Xian stood in the orange-red sunset, holding a golf club in his hand, with an accurate posture, swinging the silver golf club, and hitting a ball neatly and beautifully.
The round ball drew a beautiful parabola in the afterglow of the setting sun and fell accurately into the hole on the lawn.
Not far away, a caddy in light blue overalls quickly and professionally pulled up the flagpole and cheered "nice in" in time.
The orange-pink light and shadow dyed the blue sky red. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the graceful and elegant figure seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
The light sprinkled on her cold profile, a mixture of light and dark, making her look radiant.
The people around her cheered and their sincere praises overwhelmed Zhai Jin's last bit of rationality.
She no longer had the courage to move forward, so she told the servant beside her that she had something important to tell her and left, then strode back towards the dressing room.
No one noticed whether she was there or not, everyone was praising Xu Xian for his hole-in-one.
"I didn't realize it! Sister-in-law, you have the ability to hit a hole-in-one." Bai Han exclaimed in admiration and glanced at the golf ball that the caddy brought back.
He is a golf fan and has loved this gentleman's sport since he was a child. He has hit many holes-in-one in the past, but that was the result of experience accumulated over time.
Xu Xian's ability to hole out as soon as he touched the club made him feel ashamed.
Xu Xian pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. She was just playing according to the posture Jiang Shibai taught her, and she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
She said modestly, "I'm in the novice protection period. I might not be able to play the next shot."
Jiang Shixin glanced at Jiang Shibai next to her and said jokingly, "Look at your husband, he looks so proud."
Xu Xian raised his eyelids, and looked at him with his bright eyes, his smile brighter than the sunset.
Jiang Shibai raised his hand skillfully and touched the top of her head, smiling softly. His eyes, which used to be cold and distant when he wasn't smiling, were like icebergs melting into water. "Well, my dear, you're better than me. The first time I touched a golf club, I couldn't even get a hole in one."
Maybe it was because he often touched her hair, but Xu Xian went from dodging and not being able to adapt at first to being able to accept it calmly now.
Hearing his praise, she felt ashamed for a moment.
There's no comparison between the ages when the two first touched a golf club. He must have been playing this sport since he was a child. He might even be taller than the club!
It is somewhat shameless for adults to compare themselves with children.
The caddy came back with the ball and wanted to put it into the basket, but was stopped by Jiang Shibai.
He reached out to take the ball, his gaze fixed on it calmly. The white sphere landed in the palm of his bony hand, and his broad palm made the ball look very small.
"What are you doing with the ball?" Xu Xian was slightly puzzled when he saw him staring at the ball seriously.
Jiang Shibai retracted his gaze, opened his thin lips, and said slowly, "This is the ball that Guaibao hit into the hole in one. Naturally, I have to keep it well as a souvenir."
He deliberately dragged out the last word and smiled calmly and seriously.
Xu Xian's breathing stagnated slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. His beating heart seemed to be hit by an unknown object, and his brain went blank for a few seconds.
The ball itself is not of high value, but just because it was the first ball she hit into the hole, he kept it so considerately.
Jiang Shibai's favor for her has always been hidden in the details, almost to the point of partiality.
She gripped the golf club tightly in her hand, her well-proportioned finger bones turned white, and she was shaking almost uncontrollably.
Finally, she pretended to be calm and looked away, focusing on the club in her hand.
I don’t know if it was because she was confused, or because, as she said, the protection period for novices was very short.
The next few shots did not have the same luck as the first time, and all of them landed outside the hole.
She didn't particularly care about gains and losses, but she didn't feel discouraged or unbalanced. When she was tired of playing, she would sit on the sofa behind her to rest and watch them play.
Li Nanyue is not interested in golf. She has a free and easy personality and doesn't like repetitive and boring gentleman sports.
Seeing her sit down to rest, he hurried over to her and started chattering in private.
After a few words, the servant walked up to Jiang Shixin and said, "Miss Zhai said that there was an urgent matter at the company that she needed to go back to deal with, so she asked me to convey her gratitude for your hospitality and said that we would get together again next time if there was a chance."
Jiang Shixin was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She was so focused on watching Xu Xian's hole-in-one that she didn't notice that Zhai Jin had disappeared for a long time.
"Okay, I understand."
As soon as the servant left, Jiang Shibai swung the golden club gracefully, and the ball moved in mid-air but failed to fall into the hole.
He didn't care about the shot. He slowly handed the club to the caddy next to him, took off his white gloves, looked at Jiang Shixin, and said in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "Don't invite irrelevant outsiders to your private party next time."
Jiang Shixin was completely stunned when he heard this. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him suspiciously, scanning him up and down.
In the past, when their childhood friends had private gatherings, sometimes someone would bring their friends to join in the fun, but he never reacted.
Why are you so stimulated this time?
Jiang Shibai did not answer her. He walked towards Xu Yixiu who was playing with a bubble machine not far away, picked her up, and made the bubbles reflecting the light fly higher.
He said this nonsense and then left without saying a word. Jiang Shixin was not a god and had no idea what he was really thinking.
Thinking of this, she raised her legs and was about to move towards him.
Xu Jing was a little more perceptive than Jiang Shixin. He pulled her back and tried to get to the bottom of the matter, but shook his head slightly.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Shibai, the reason he said this without regard for the personal relationship between the Jiang and Zhai families was most likely because Zhai Jin touched his bottom line.
At the moment, his bottom line is most likely related to Xu Xian.
"Why are you pulling me?" Jiang Shixin frowned and said in an unhappy tone.
She hadn't even taught that brat a lesson for being disrespectful! He had the audacity to just casually say something like that to her and then walk away.
Xu Jing said helplessly: "Even if you ask, he won't tell you, but you also know Shi Bai's personality. There must be a reason for what he said."
Jiang Shibai is the most thoughtful person among them, and he will not target others for no reason.
"Why do you need to analyze it? This is my brother, of course I know that, but what on earth has provoked him? Did Zhai Jin offend him?" Jiang Shixin rolled his eyes and was slightly speechless.
She didn't care at all whether Zhai Jin could attend their private gatherings in the future. She just wanted to figure out why Zhai Jin had offended him.
Du Yuanzhou, who had been standing nearby, kindly explained, "Besides the emotional side of things, what else could there be between a man and a woman? I can only say that Zhai Jin is really overestimating herself! She can't even hide her little thoughts, and she's still playing the role of a white lotus. She's so naive."
