Chapter 26 criticizes the person who came to my side after graduation and worked for me. ...
Because Ye Qishan stood still and didn't keep up with Jiang Xiliu's pace, the force was so great that she had to stagger back two steps.
Just as Jiang Xiliu was about to shake off his hand in annoyance, she noticed his stiff body and his gaze looking diagonally upwards.
Just as she was about to look up with his gaze, Ye Qishan, as if he had mustered up all his courage in eight lifetimes, suddenly pulled her into his arms and hastily covered her eyes with his large hand.
"Xi Liu, don't look."
Before Jiang Xiliu could explode in anger, Ye Qishan, panting heavily, pleaded in a trembling voice, "Don't look at him, okay?"
he?
Jiang Xiliu stopped struggling, and the displeasure she felt from Ye Qishan's inexplicable actions disappeared.
She raised her hand and pressed it against the hand that was covering her eyes, speaking with unusual calm: "If you're not afraid of him, put your hand down and walk confidently forward with me."
There's nothing to hide from; hiding would only make you look guilty.
The one who should feel guilty and want to avoid it is Shen Yu.
Ye Qishan's hand trembled slightly, and finally slowly fell to his side.
The person in his arms turned around and faced him, their almond-shaped eyes, which had become brighter because of so many people, now completely focused on him.
The gallery corner was very quiet. I don't know if Shen Yu had cleared the place out beforehand or if it was just a coincidence, but apart from the three of them, there wasn't a single staff member in sight, just like before.
But there are also some differences.
For example, the one who was holding Jiang Xiliu at this moment, with disbelief in his eyes, yet still daring to bend down with her strength, was Ye Qishan, no longer the aloof man upstairs.
Shen Yu, who is now only fit to stand there and watch quietly, is clearly not content to be just a spectator.
"Xi Liu, are you trying to provoke me?" Shen Yu used most of his strength to grip the railing. He spoke with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, and even a hint of ruthlessness.
Jiang Xiliu didn't even lift her eyelids, completely ignoring the man upstairs.
She ran her fingertips casually through Ye Qishan's fluffy curls, as if teasing a toy, and gently ruffled them.
Ye Qishan's bent-over body tensed instantly at her intimate gesture, and his face turned red visibly from his ears to his neck.
Although Ye Qishan also felt that he was just a tool she used to provoke Chen Yu, it did not prevent him from cooperating with Jiang Xiliu.
Even if Jiang Xiliu asked him to strip naked and run around the streets of Berlin right now, he would probably only blush and struggle for a bit, but in the end he would obediently do as he was told.
Of course, Jiang Xiliu wouldn't do that.
She chuckled softly, her fingertips brushing against his crown of hair: "Ye Qishan, are you a puppy?" How could someone be so comfortable being patted on the head that they could close their eyes?
They were so close that she could even feel his lips trembling slightly against her neck.
I don't know if it was because she was afraid of Chen Yu, or because she was enjoying her actions.
She finally let go of Ye Qishan's fluffy hair, turned around and looked up at the second floor. Her eyes were calm and unwavering, and she only said, "You're overthinking it. Don't overestimate yourself."
Jiang Xiliu wasn't angry at Chen Yu; it was just that Ye Qishan, who had been terrified just now, was too amusing. He was like a kitten that had its fur standing on end due to stress, arching its back and baring its teeth, but it was not intimidating at all. It was so cute that she couldn't help but want to pet it. But the moment she touched it, the kitten turned into a puppy, lowering its head and burrowing into her palm.
The young lady always does things as she pleases. Even if Shen Yu isn't here right now, if she sees Ye Qishan looking at her pitifully with red eyes, she'll probably just give him a couple of pats as a reward.
Tsk. Jiang Xiliu sighed inwardly: She's just too soft-hearted.
That's why she said she had absolutely nothing to do with the villainous female supporting character.
She dragged Ye Qishan, who was still lost in thought, straight to the next picture, examining it closely, completely ignoring the man on the second floor. Her utter indifference was more hurtful than any harsh accusation.
Shen Yu, who was already standing there with great effort, stared intently at her expressionless profile, recalling the glance she had just given him when she looked up at him.
There was no surprise, no hatred, and even the slightest bit of annoyance was almost invisible.
It was as if he were just a stranger who didn't quite appeal to her and was blocking her way.
[System 0777 suddenly popped into my mind: Miss, is that Shen Yu upstairs?]
Jiang Xiliu's gaze didn't waver as she gave a perfunctory reply: "Mm."
Just as Jiang Xiliu finished looking at the painting and was about to move to another location, the system seemed to suddenly connect to the server.
[System 0777: Huh? Although the name Shen Yu didn't appear in the original story, the person upstairs seems to have appeared before. He was mentioned in the male lead Jin Zhao's perspective, it seems to be—]
“777.” Jiang Xiliu interrupted it: “I hope you can learn to read people’s faces soon: I don’t care how he was in the original plot, it would be better if he died.”
She took out her phone, snapped a picture of the painting she liked, and said coldly, "If he's not dead, then I wish him a speedy death."
System 0777: ...
Before leaving, she looked up one last time. The man on the second floor had disappeared silently, just like two years ago.
As Jiang Xiliu looked away, she maliciously speculated in her mind: even if she didn't intentionally provoke him, this petty man might be so angry that he would faint just from his own imagination. After he collapsed on the ground, he should be disposed of by the garbage collectors.
Garbage should go to the trash can.
Jiang Xiliu happily finished buying the painting and decisively said goodbye to Ye Qishan, who had become absent-minded after receiving a message and suddenly decided to stay.
...
After signing the rental agreement, Liao Zhu became a regular visitor to the Yi family's home.
Judging from the current room conditions, the young lady simply cannot stay here for three days.
To ensure the young lady's quality of life, he needs to oversee all the renovations here.
"Would you like some water?" Isle sat in the living room, watching people come and go, moving things up and down and changing her home.
Liao Zhu raised the hand that was behind his back and waved the mineral water bottle that Yisile had never seen before: "No need."
oh.
Expected answer.
However, Yisiler, biting the end of his black pen, stared at the physics problem he couldn't understand at all: "I don't know how to do this problem."
Jin Zhao, who used to tutor her, was forbidden by Liao Zhu from entering this area.
—Although the young lady didn't say it, Liao Zhu had already gotten into character. As long as he was within sight, not even a female mosquito was allowed to get close to the man the young lady had her eye on.
Assistant Liao walked over, explained a problem in the simplest language, and casually flipped through the workbook she was working on, then froze.
"Aren't you a freshman in junior high? Why are you looking at high school physics problems?"
"Oh, I'm planning to skip a grade." Isley's thin face was serious. "Only by graduating early can I start earning money sooner."
"My goal is to complete all my studies by the time I become an adult."
Liao Zhu thought Yi Sile was a promising talent, so he turned around and reported the situation to the young lady, implying that the child could be properly trained and recruited into the Jiang family.
Like the male lead, the female lead has everything to offer except for her family background.
Jiang Xiliu only considered it for a second before deciding to bring this still-developing female lead to his side.
As soon as she adjusted to the time difference, Jiang Xiliu took her luggage and Liao Zhu to check out the place where she would be staying for the next month.
Nothing new.
Aside from the different view outside the window, the room layout is still a direct copy of Jiang Xiliu's home.
She walked out of the room, with Liao Zhu following closely behind.
A petite girl was standing in the living room, looking this way.
“Isley.” Jiang Xi gave a bright smile, startling the little girl who took a step back.
The overly friendly, pretty girl in front of him, who seemed like she was trying to coax a child, looked like she was poisonous (because the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is), and it seemed that Yisiluo, whose name was called, was the one she had chosen to poison.
Although Isler had a moment of clarity and wanted to resist, she said, "I will sponsor you to complete all your studies. You will no longer need to worry about where your tuition and living expenses will come from. During the sponsorship process, I will not interfere with any of your choices. You can study either arts or sciences, and you can choose your favorite major."
“I only have one request.” Jiang Xiliu stared at the child in front of her, “Come to my side after graduation and work for me.”
She frowned slightly, not pressing him too hard: "I'll give you a day to think about it."
Although Yisile is a child, as soon as she found out who wanted to rent her house, she immediately searched for the name "Jiang Xiliu" online.
There are no photos of her online, but the limited written information available is enough for this junior high school student to realize that she is someone he could never reach even if he stood on tiptoe.
Even if her life were to go smoothly and she were to complete all her studies as she envisioned after adulthood, Yi Sile was not confident that she would be able to enter the Jiang family business.
But now, it seems she's hit the jackpot.
"Are you serious?" Yisile looked up. Years of malnutrition made her look like a ten-year-old child. At her current height, she had to crane her neck to see that the young lady's face was not joking at all.
"Really?" Jiang Xiliu was also a little worried that his appearance would have a butterfly effect, such as ruining the female lead who would dominate the world in the future. "But you have to keep being excellent and show me your strength."
"Hmm." She pointed to Liao Zhu behind her, "Learn from him, follow his example."
Isle nodded and then shook her head: "No need to consider, I'm willing."
Even as she signed her name, Yisile couldn't believe it was real.
Liao Zhu, who was leaving with one of the two copies, asked Jiang Xiliu uncertainly before leaving, "Miss, do you really not need to leave someone with you?"
"No need." In the original storyline, Jiang Xiliu also ventured here alone. Although the system hesitated and didn't say anything, she didn't want the storyline completion rate to drop further. "Jin Zhao next door will take good care of me."
Liao Zhu was about to offer another word of advice.
Then the thin little girl standing next to her raised her hand, her bright black eyes promising, "I will take good care of Miss too."
At such a young age, she had even developed a competitive spirit without being taught, and inadvertently put down her neighbor: "I am more careful and serious than Brother Jin Zhao, and I will never let the young lady suffer any grievances."
She had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang.
Liao, who was closest to the door, opened it.
The person who had just been criticized was standing at the door. His gaze briefly swept over Liao Zhu and Yi Sile before finally settling on Jiang Xiliu, who was sitting on the sofa like an executive chair.
When did you get back?
