Yu Haixing's mind is still in a daze.
Just think, how could he, the nephew of the Duke of Huguo Yu Sheng, the son of the Governor of Ruzhou Yu Li, and an outside disciple of Wuxian Pavilion, encounter such a thing?
Full of anticipation, he arrived in Jingzhou from Ruzhou. He hadn't even visited his uncle's house yet, but he rushed to Wuxian Garden, ready to get close to her.
Although they weren't turned away at the door, they were turned away in terms of etiquette.
Wang Yingqiu returned the gifts he had carefully prepared.
He had initially tried to comfort himself by saying that Wang Yingqiu was just like that, and she wouldn't easily accept anything from anyone. He also liked her aloof personality.
Then I saw someone else casually give me some cheap, local goods, and they were accepted...
This differential treatment angered him.
But what followed was more than just anger.
He was pushed down first, but Wang Yingqiu came out and didn't ask or say anything. Instead, she showed concern for the man who had pushed him!
Finally, I'll personally make soup for him!
I'm totally... blown away!
Fortunately, Hai Xing wasn't an immature playboy. He was relatively calm and analyzed the situation first, concluding that Jing Zhe was able to gain an advantage because of his appearance.
Of course, he can't change that.
But he could have played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, using his privileged family background to make the other man feel inferior and drive him away!
So he walked over to Jing Zhe and looked at him seriously.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe raised an eyebrow, grinned, and casually rolled up his sleeves.
Startled, Yu Haixing quickly took a step back: "Judging from your attire, you seem like a scholar. You should have heard that a gentleman uses words, not fists, so I advise you to be more civilized. After all, my family background is not something you can afford to mess with!"
When asked about his family background, Yu Haixing nodded slightly, a hint of pride in his expression.
"Who the hell made a move?"
"Then roll up your sleeves..."
"Can't I even roll up my sleeves and wipe a chair for Xiu'er to sit on?"
"Who is... Xiuer?"
"..."
Jing Zhe didn't answer, but looked at Yu Haixing as if he were mentally challenged, and sat down on the stool.
"You look all grown up, but you look like a complete idiot!"
"..."
This time, Yu Haixing didn't ask what kind of kid "gua wazi" was, because judging from Jing Zhe's tone and expression, it certainly wasn't a nice word.
"You're a scholar, how come you're using such foul language?"
"What, you think I'm dirty, my mother?"
"You...how dare you insult me..."
"Did I defile your mother?"
"I…"
"What do you mean, 'you'? Your mother!"
"..."
Yu Haixing was dumbfounded. Was this guy even human?
Why do you keep swearing?
No, I'll go back and tell my uncle to teach him a lesson!
This kind of person... He suddenly thought of his uncle Yu Sheng, who seemed to be this kind of person as well, always swearing and even criticizing Bai Taifu in court. If he told him, would he feel a sense of kinship with this guy?
Thinking about this makes me tremble.
Even in his anger, he remained restrained and calm.
Then came another round of imaginative analysis.
When Jing Zhe spoke to his female disciple and Wang Yingqiu, he was gentle and refined, and his speech was elegant. He must be well-educated and courteous. But when he spoke to me, he was so rude. The only explanation is that he must be so outstanding that he instilled fear in me!
Thinking of this, Yu Haixing felt a surge of pride.
At the same time, he thought that he must know his identity as a disciple of Wuxian Pavilion, yet he still dared to speak disrespectfully, so he must have something to rely on!
At this point, Yu Haixing became cautious.
"this…"
Thinking about how the female disciple had addressed him earlier, Yu Haixing smiled and said, "Young Master Jing, is that right? May I ask if your father is an official in the court? My father also happens to be an official, so perhaps we know each other!"
Jing Zhe glanced at him, but unusually refrained from arguing with him.
"I wouldn't recognize them; my parents have been gone for several years."
"Not here? Where did you go?"
"What, you still want to go down there to find them?"
"..."
Because Jing Zhe was too young and well-dressed, Yu Haixing didn't immediately think of the possibility that he was "orphaned".
He only realized what was happening after Jing Zhe teased him.
If he weren't afraid of being beaten up by Jing Zhe, he probably would have burst out laughing.
He then asked, "Does Young Master Jing have any other relatives?"
Jing Zhe thought for a moment, "I don't have any relatives. I'm the only male in my family, but I have quite a few older sisters!"
I was thinking to myself, my sisters are all so amazing, if he asks me later, I'll just pretend to be amazing!
Haha, let's talk about the self-cultivation of a master of pretentiousness!
But things didn't go as planned. After learning that Jing Zhe's parents were dead and he had no relatives, Yu Haixing felt relieved—his sister? He hadn't even considered her. In his opinion, what could his sister possibly be capable of?
It seems I was too cautious and overestimated him; I didn't expect him to be so useless!
Yu Haixing grinned and cleared his throat.
Now, please watch my performance!
Do you know who my father is?
"..."
He was expecting Jing Zhe to ask what his sister did, but Jing Zhe was very disappointed when Jing Zhe suddenly blurted out that question.
So he said irritably, "Who your father is is your mother's secret forever! If you want to know, you have to ask her, why are you asking me?"
"..."
This was the first time Yu Haixing had ever heard such a refreshingly unconventional answer that made him want to explode…
Who your father is, that's your mother's secret forever...
Why does it give me a creepy feeling when you think about it?
Seeing him staring at him in a daze, Jing Zhe suddenly realized what was going on and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, don't get any ideas! We're about the same age... ugh, you're older than me. There's no way I could be with your mother. Don't think I'm your dad!"
"..."
Damn it, I just lost my virginity a few days ago, how could such a grown son suddenly appear to claim kinship with me now?
Jing Zhe felt extremely unlucky.
Yu Haixing was speechless.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Would I acknowledge you as my father?"
"That's hard to say!"
Jing Zhe was still shaken. "Back in my hometown, it's very common to have a godfather!"
"..."
For the first time, Yu Haixing found it so difficult to pretend to be cool. He had come from Ruzhou alone, only thinking that when he went to Jinxi in a while, he could elope with Wang Yingqiu without anyone bothering him.
But now he regrets not bringing a servant with him when he came from Ruzhou. What a mistake!
"Ahem, my name is Yu Haixing!"
If no one is cooperating, then do it yourself!
"Yu Haixing?"
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then immediately laughed and said, "Your name is alright. Do you have any older or younger brothers whose names are 'good' or 'bad'?"
"..."
He must be jealous of my name. Ignore him!
“My father, Yu Li, is the governor of Ruzhou, a second-rank official! My eldest uncle, Yu Sheng, is the Duke of Protectorate, a first-rank official! And I, Yu Haixing…”
Yu Haixing paused for a moment, then, seeing Jing Zhe's serious expression, became excited.
Hehe, scared now?
"A disciple of the outer sect of Wuxian Pavilion, one of the four major sects of Anguo!"
"..."
