The less noticeable a person is, the more likely they are to bluff.
From childhood to adulthood, Qi Xiao has always been the center of attention. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by countless stares. He has become accustomed to being the center of attention. Jiang Qing was the first person to not take him seriously, and Shen Shi was the second.
Jiang Qing's indifference, despite being from the same social class, caught Qi Xiao's attention, making him sense that she was different from others.
Love and the desire to conquer intertwined, captivating Qi Xiao so much that he couldn't bear to part with her, and the name Jiang Qing became an obsession etched deep in his heart.
As the saying goes, "Either you explode in silence or you become perverted in silence." Perhaps it was a perverse sense of humor in his nature, but Qi Xiao even found a unique kind of pleasure in Jiang Qing's indifference.
The more he was ignored, the more he cared about Jiang Qing, and the more he felt that she was so unique.
But when faced with the straight man Chen Shi, Qi Xiao not only had no interest in him, but also felt deeply offended because he was a poor guy.
Shen Shi and Jiang Qing's love affair is tantamount to slapping Qi Xiao in the face.
Qi Xiao's disgust for Shen Shi and her desire to retaliate by trampling him underfoot had long surpassed her affection for Jiang Qing.
In other words, from another perspective, Qi Xiao's concern for Shen Shi has surpassed his concern for Jiang Qing.
Qi Xiao felt happy as long as Shen Shi was unhappy.
This might just be men's damn competitive spirit.
He had intended to take advantage of the discord between the two to stir up trouble and upset Shen Shi, but before Shen Shi could do anything, he had already lost face.
Jiang Qing clearly didn't buy it, and Shen Shi didn't take him seriously either.
Not only were they interrupted repeatedly, but Qi Xiao could only watch helplessly as they indulged in their oblivious sweetness. One can only imagine Qi Xiao's anger.
"I was talking to Jiang Qing, what's it to you!"
He didn't even care about maintaining his image in front of Jiang Qing, and shouted angrily at Shen Shi.
Driven by hormones and fueled by a desire for love, Qi Xiao rolled up his sleeves, veins bulging on his arms, and swung his fist toward Chen Shi.
Qi Xiao's fighting prowess has always been his pride. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been able to win fights effortlessly.
However, this time he was unlucky enough to run into Shen Shi. The moment Qi Xiao threw a punch, Shen Shi sensed the danger.
A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips. Without even turning his head, Chen Shi simply raised his hand to block, easily grabbing the other's arm, and then twisted it in reverse, spinning Qi Xiao around in his hand like a top.
At this moment, Qi Xiao was half-bent over, her arms held down by Shen Shiqiang, standing in an extremely awkward position.
He instinctively tried to struggle, but when he noticed Qi Xiao's attempt to break free, his expression remained unchanged, though he continued to increase the force in his hands.
Her arm was being squeezed painfully, but a man's pride is more important than anything else. Qi Xiao gritted her teeth and endured it, her face turning red from holding it in, but she still managed to keep quiet.
Shen Shi's smooth and fluid movements left Jiang Qing dumbfounded. Her surprised gaze swept back and forth across him, and a series of exclamation marks popped into her mind: When did Shen Shi become so powerful? How come she didn't notice? Could he be possessed? But she had to admit, his cool look was quite handsome!
After a moment of inward reflection, Jiang Qing reached out and tugged at the hem of Shen Shi's clothes.
This subconscious little gesture was so warm and intimate that Shen Shi suddenly looked up and met Jiang Qing's clear eyes.
In an instant, it felt as if he had returned to the past, to the time when Jiang Qing loved him wholeheartedly.
The two stared at each other for a long time, as if they had a thousand words to say, yet as if they had no words to say at all.
Shen Shi fell silent, a rare occurrence, as a heavy sense of guilt overwhelmed him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Good heavens! Look what you've done! You've hurt the most beautiful girl in the world, and you're still trying to cover it up.
He didn't know how to begin, and couldn't even bring himself to say to Jiang Qing, "Forgive me."
"Let him go." Jiang Qing finally broke the silence and spoke gently.
Unexpectedly, this was the sentence. Shen Shi frowned instantly. The "he" that Jiang Qing mentioned was clearly referring to Qi Xiao.
Since they started talking about breaking up, they have been arguing hysterically almost constantly, and rarely have a chance to talk calmly.
To be honest, this was the first time Jiang Qing had spoken to him calmly, and it was for Qi Xiao's sake.
Even though he knew in his heart that Jiang Qing had no other intentions, Shen Shi still felt a deep displeasure.
This wasn't the first time Qi Xiao had provoked Shen Shi. In the past, whenever he caused trouble, Jiang Qing would always stand in front of him.
I still remember that time; her smile was as warm as sunshine, shining into my dark and gloomy heart.
"Chen Shi will always be Jiang Qing's first choice. No matter what, I will always stand by your side and be the one who will always be with you."
The person who said those words was still beside him, and the person causing trouble was even the same one. It seemed like nothing had changed, but Shen Shi knew in his heart that no matter how he deceived himself or what excuse he made to escape, he could not change the fact that Jiang Qing was far away.
Shen Shi didn't want to, and couldn't accept, this ending, that the person who loved him most steadfastly was being pushed further and further away by him.
An indescribable bitterness welled up, causing Shen Shi's eyes to redden slightly. He pressed his face tightly against Jiang Qing's, then slowly released Qi Xiao's hand.
Noticing Shen Shi's unusual behavior, Qi Xiao used her strength to break free from his grasp.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: think carefully before you take action, and see if you have the ability."
Chen Shi stated this calmly, without even glancing at Qi Xiao out of the corner of his eye.
But if you think he's just bragging, you're sorely mistaken.
Although he was born in a small county town, Shen Shi's grandfather was a martial arts master who could easily take on several strong young men when he was over seventy years old.
Shen Shi had learned martial arts from his grandfather since childhood and had developed considerable skills. Dealing with Qi Xiao, who only had flashy moves, was a piece of cake for him.
"It's my business. I can handle it myself, you don't need to worry about it."
Before Qi Xiao could react to Shen Shi's words, Jiang Qing spoke first.
"Jiang Qing, never forget what Ling Tian said. I, Qi Xiao, swear to God, you will regret it! You will definitely regret it!"
Enraged, Qi Xiao began to speak recklessly: "Do you really think you're some kind of precious princess that everyone is begging for...?"
Given Jiang Qing's indifferent attitude, Qi Xiao's anger seemed so out of place.
To be honest, the two of them were just acquaintances; they weren't relatives or lovers. Qi Xiao had no right to interfere in Jiang Qing's affairs. He was like a paper tiger bluffing, and he seemed rather embarrassed and angry.
Jiang Qing didn't care at all, but Shen Shi couldn't stand it.
What kind of idiot dares to criticize my girlfriend in front of me? Does he think I'm dead?
