Ji Sinan looked at Jiang Yihuan in front of him and then at Gu Yanli beside him. Both of them had cold and sour faces, looking like they didn't want to talk to anyone.
They look like they were made from the same mold.
"Let's not talk about that! I also brought back some local specialties!"
Jisnan rummaged through a box next to his desk and pulled out a bunch of things. "Those three haven't come back yet, so I didn't prepare any for them."
Jian Xingzhi weighed the box in his hand, looking suspicious: "Are you sure this thing is good? You're not just playing a prank on us, are you?"
Jisnan laughed heartily: "Don't worry, don't worry! I won't play any pranks on you!"
Ji Sinan handed two of the boxes to Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan.
Jiang Yihuan was surprised to find herself included, and thanked him with a serious expression: "Thank you."
Jisnan was surprised to hear this.
He had assumed that Jiang Yihuan was the aloof type who thought she was the only one who was sober in a world of fools, and he assumed that Jiang Yihuan would disdain his gift.
This move caught him completely off guard.
Jisnan inwardly berated himself, thinking to himself, "How can I judge people based on first impressions?"
Ye Qi knew this kid often played pranks on people, so it was best to expose him in front of everyone and beat him up as soon as he was still around.
Ye Qi opened the box and found an ugly little wooden puppet lying inside.
Jiang Yihuan opened it and saw that it was a small wooden puppet. She coldly handed it back to Ji Sinan, saying, "I politely decline, I don't want it."
Jisnan's newly revised opinion was shattered again: "???"
Ye Qi looked coldly at the ugly wooden puppet that was continuously emanating a murderous aura. "I treated you like a brother, and you actually cursed me. Here you go!"
Jisnan scratched his head, saying in a puzzled tone, "It is indeed a bit ugly, but don't worry, it's a good thing! I bought it from a very popular local temple for making wishes."
"They say you can make a wish, and it's 100% guaranteed to come true! I thought it was a good thing, so I brought it back for you guys."
Ye Qi: "...When I say you're reckless, I don't mean you should actually be reckless."
"This thing can actually grant wishes."
Upon hearing Ye Qi's affirmation, Ji Sinan said proudly, "See! This is a good product, it's just a bit ugly."
Hearing Ye Qi's affirmation, the others accepted the ugly thing with peace of mind.
Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly heard Ye Qi's cold voice:
"but."
"Wearing it for too long will shorten your lifespan."
Upon hearing this, the others felt as if the ugly object in their hands had become a burning ember, and they quickly dropped it.
Upon hearing this, Ji Sinan looked at the ugly thing in his hand that should have belonged to Jiang Yihuan and immediately dropped it, his voice trembling: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Jiang Yihuan added at the opportune moment: "A short life is only one aspect. After fulfilling your wish, you will become increasingly unlucky, your luck will be drained, and you will easily die a violent death."
Upon hearing their affirmation, Yin Hua and Bai Lingshu immediately discarded the ugly object.
Thinking of what had happened before, Yin Hua shuddered and shook her head repeatedly.
"Anan, we won't accept anything from you this time. We appreciate your kindness, but we'll give you something even better next time as an apology."
After Yin Hua finished speaking, she quickly threw it into the trash can, afraid that this dirty thing would follow her.
Ji Sinan not only didn't mind Yin Hua throwing away the local specialties he had specially bought, but he even took matters into his own hands and quickly collected all the ugly things and threw them into the trash can.
"No, no! That damn monk dared to lie to me! I'll definitely go over and teach him a lesson when I have time!" Ji Sinan complained, still shaken.
When he's angry, the little ponytail at the back of his hair bounces up and down.
When Fei Zexi saw that Ji Sinan and Gu Yanli had returned, he greeted them and then the class began.
After class, Fei Zexi left in a hurry, clearly indicating that he had been very busy lately.

When Ye Qi and Ye Zhixi returned home, they were almost stunned to see their eldest brother sitting calmly on the sofa.
The man sitting opposite Ye Jingyan had just finished chatting with her when he looked up and saw Ye Qi and Ye Zhixi. He gave them a gentle smile.
"Long time no see, Bao'er. Is that Xixi next to you?"
Ye Qi looked at the other person upon hearing the voice.
The man exuded a refined and scholarly air, and his handsome face held a gentle smile that could put people at ease.
The man was Ye Qi's cousin, Shi Xiubai.
Shi Xiubai had seen Ye Zhixi's photo before and recognized her at a glance.
Shi Xiubai picked up the gifts placed on the table and handed them to Ye Qi and Ye Zhixi:
"These are souvenirs I brought back together. Xixi, this is our first meeting. I'm your cousin, Shi Xiubai."
Ye Zhixi nodded shyly and accepted the gift. "Mmm..."
Ye Zhixi subconsciously leaned towards Ye Qi, feeling more at ease with her younger sister by her side.
Shi Xiubai saw Ye Zhixi's actions but didn't think much of it.
Only Ye Qi... stared silently at the gift box in her hand.
She wondered if opening this box would reveal the same ugly puppet that caused people to die young.
Ye Jingyan said to Shi Xiubai, "It's almost dinner time, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
Shi Xiubai smiled and declined, "No, thank you."
He then suggested, "Since there are only three of you at your home, why don't you come to my house for dinner?"
Ye Jingyan pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible."
After saying that, Ye Jingyan took her two younger sisters and followed Shi Xiubai back to the Shi family home.
The Shi family is much larger than the Ye family.
The style and layout lean more towards a classical style.
Hearing footsteps, Lan Yun, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, turned her head familiarly, "Xiu Bai is back?"
Just then, Lan Yun saw Ye Qi and the others who had come together, and her face lit up with surprise and delight. "Bao'er! Xixi! Jingyan!"
