Chapter 58 Zhao Kui Seeking a Sense of Existence

The servant Jixiang had a strange smile on his face when he backed out, but when he met the sharp eyes of Lingyun, who was standing upright at the door of the cabin, he immediately restrained the expression on his face.

He muttered disdainfully: "He's just a follower. Why do you pretend to be so cool with a gloomy face every day?"

After saying that, he walked hurriedly past Ling Yun without even looking at the expressionless face. Jixiang was still afraid of this guy who had a gloomy face every day.

Ling Yun touched the dagger at his waist, his eyes flickered, and he put his hand down.

Everyone still ate together, but when the others learned that Leng Xiangbai had paid fifty taels to An Xin, they also paid their living expenses according to this standard.

Because Kong Xun brought two more people with him, and he was a wealthy man, he handed over 150 taels of silver without blinking an eye.

Apart from collective expenses, everyone is responsible for their own personal expenses.

An Xin also paid fifty taels of silver and gave it to Qingfeng to manage. Anyway, apart from the large sums of silver bills, Qingfeng was also helping her manage other matters in the house.

Qingfeng arranged it very well. There were both meat and vegetables on the table, enough for their group to eat, but not too much to cause waste.

An Xin looked at her with appreciation. It was convenient to have a butler around.

After dinner, An Xin and his friends went out, wanting to see the evening view on the boat and digest their food.

Unexpectedly, I met Liu Mingjie, Zhao Kui and five or six other students on the deck. They were reciting poems and composing essays facing the sunset, pretending to be cool.

When he saw An Xin and the others coming over, he felt as if his neck was being pinched and he fell silent.

How can these hyperplasias and parasites have the nerve to show off their literary talent in front of the first, second and third top students in this academy examination?

Liu Mingjie and the others came forward with twinkling eyes to greet them, "Miss An, you are also going to participate in the literary gathering held by Baichuan Academy."

An Xin originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it. They weren't very familiar with each other, so there was no need to pay attention.

However, they had already come forward and greeted him, so An Xin didn't act cool. He just nodded to them and said "hmm" as a response.

Liu Mingjie was about to step forward and say something, but he saw An Xin had turned her head to look at the water surface covered with sunset glow, and had been attracted by the evening scene of the sunset.

Turning her head to meet Li Ziyu and the others who were following her, Liu Mingjie trembled with fear at the cold looks they gave him.

So he didn't argue any more, just bowed and walked away with his people.

An Xin looked at the birds flying over the river with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Since Liu Mingjie ignored the attention and care of the original owner's father, he was poached away by Principal Wang with generous conditions shortly after his father's death. His fate with Wanhua Academy ended there.

"Xin'er's mother said that you have liked the ginger hot pot chicken she made since you were a child. When you come back, come to my house and she will make it for you." Zhao Kui did not follow him, but stood there and said with anticipation in his eyes.

An Xin didn't expect that he hadn't left yet. He spoke in a calm voice and said very straightforwardly: "The dishes your mother cooks lack oil and salt. Is it delicious? You, her son, don't know.

Those words were just polite expressions out of familiarity at the time."

Zhao Kui felt a lump in his throat.

As a son, he couldn't say against his will that his mother's cooking was delicious, but he didn't expect An Xin to be so disrespectful and say it out loud.

"Can't we go back to the way we were before?" Zhao Kui asked, unwilling to give up.

Ever since he found out that An Xin was so knowledgeable and had turned several people who were once recognized as losers by the teachers and students of Wanhua Academy into so outstanding people today, he regretted breaking off the engagement.

Otherwise, since he is An Xin's fiancé, with a wife like him, it would be no problem for him to become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

It’s not like now, where I tried my best to get a degree as an associate student.

With grades like his, he would definitely fail in next year's provincial examination. How could he accept that?

"Summer is over, why are there still flies coming out to disgust people?" Jiang Zhou said with a sigh, "It's just a lazy fly, there's no point in saying anything about it."

"Azhou is right." Zhu Shijing agreed with sarcasm in his eyes.

"You stingy guy, stop calling me that. It makes me feel disgusted." Jiang Zhou made a vomiting gesture.

Li Ziyu had a blank expression on his face. "Mr. Zhao, we just finished our meal and don't want to waste food. Do you think you are willing to leave and let us take you a ride?"

"Puchi!" Liu Boxing: "I usually don't laugh at people unless I can't help it."

An Rui: "…" Senior Brother is Senior Brother, he never uses any swear words when he scolds others.

He had just finished his meal and didn’t want to waste food, so he almost said that he wanted to vomit after seeing Zhao Kui’s face.

"An Xin!" Zhao Kui suppressed his anger and said in a cold and hard voice, "Just let them talk about me like this."

"Heh!" An Xin finally turned around, gave Zhao Kui a look, raised a slightly rogue smile, and said fiercely to Li Ziyu and the others, "How can you be so excessive."

The six of them, plus the cute Kong Xun standing aside, all opened their eyes a little wide and looked at their brain-dead little chief.

Just when Zhao Kui showed a smug expression, thinking that An Xin still had feelings for him, An Xin spoke again: "How can a person be so honest? Even if Mr. Zhao looks a little disgusting, you can't tell the truth. It will hurt his self-esteem."

“Puff!”

There were a few other people on the deck who had just finished their meal. When they heard this conversation, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Under Zhao Kui's angry glare, the man touched his nose. Not wanting to cause trouble, the few of them turned around and left.

At this time, the sunset faded and the night fell.

There was no more scenery to see, so An Xin and the others ignored Zhao Kui and strolled back to the cabin.

Only Zhao Kui, with a gloomy face, was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

*The next day.

An Xin and his friends were not interested in the program arranged on the deck, so they did not go up to listen to the music.

Instead, they all gathered in the cabin and opened the windows. The weather in early autumn was not too cold, and the gentle breeze brought a cool breeze.

Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai were sitting elegantly on either side of the table playing chess.

Zhu Shijing never forgot to take out his small golden abacus and was busy calculating accounts in the account book. No one or anything around him could disturb him.

Jiang Zhou, Liu Boxing and An Rui gathered together and started chattering. No one knew what gossip they were talking about, but they had not stopped talking since they came in.

An Xin was dressed in green clothes, with her black hair tied up in a bun. She was leaning on the soft couch by the window, leisurely eating melon seeds and drinking fragrant tea.

The handsome young man sitting on the other side of the soft couch stretched out his slender white fingers and picked out plump melon seeds from the plate.

Use your index finger and thumb to pinch the fat end of the melon seed, and push forward with both fingers. After hearing the crisp cracking sound, a delicious melon seed kernel is peeled out.

Then put the peeled melon seeds on the other side of the small table, within An Xin's reach.

Seeing An Xin squinting his eyes and eating the melon seeds he had peeled leisurely and comfortably, the boy lowered his head and his ears blushed.

Just when there was harmony in the cabin, Qingfeng's scream suddenly came from outside. An Xin suddenly sat up and strode out.
