As the saying goes, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. After learning that Jiang Li gave the jade pendant to someone else, Xiao Ci clenched the corner of her clothes and paced around the room anxiously.

"Who did the young lady give the jade pendant to? A man or a woman?"

Xiao Ci grabbed Jiang Li's arms with both hands and looked at her nervously.

Jiang Li's mouth twitched: "Don't worry, I am a woman and I like men, so the jade pendant is naturally for men."

"Male?!"

After hearing that Jiang Li gave it to the man, Xiao Ci felt terrible.

If it was a girl, maybe she could explain to the man and get the jade pendant back, but if it was given to a man, what if the relationship between the girl and her husband was disrupted? !

"But, my uncle is in the capital, but my lady's jade pendant..."

"Alright, alright, the things have already been sent out. We can't ask them to take them back, right? I'm hungry and I need to eat."

Knowing that Xiaoci had a poor ability to accept things, Jiang Li finally did not tell her the whereabouts of the jade pendant.

Let’s leave it this way for now, we’ll know when the time is right.

Jiang Li came to the table and started eating with relish, not taking the matter to heart at all.

Jiang Li doesn't like eating alone, so she always asks Xiao Ci to sit down and eat with her.

She ate with relish, but Xiaoci beside her had a serious look on her face because of the jade pendant and had no appetite at all.

"Miss……"

"Shh, eat."

Xiao Ci was about to speak when Jiang Li stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, blocking it.

My ears are finally at peace.

In order to stop Xiaoci from nagging, Jiang Li lay down on the bed and closed her eyes after dinner.

Seeing this, Xiaoci wanted to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she could only shake her head and walk out.

After hearing the door being closed, Jiang Li narrowed her eyes slightly. After making sure that Xiao Ci had gone out, she opened her eyes and took out Xiao Heng's jade pendant from her arms.

She held the jade pendant in front of her eyes and examined it. Both the color and texture of the jade pendant were top-notch, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a treasure.

"Judging from the reactions of Wei Lan and the others, this jade pendant should be very important to Xiao Heng, right?"

Such an important thing was just given to her like this? Could it be that he fell in love with her at first sight, and this jade pendant was a token of love that he gave her in a roundabout way? Jiang Li raised her eyebrows, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. She curled her lips and held the jade pendant in her hand.

"Xiao Duo, what is Xiao Heng's current favorability towards me?"

[Querying, host, please wait. 】

Jiang Li crossed her legs, holding the jade pendant in one hand and resting her head with the other, waiting for Xiao Duo to check Xiao Heng's favorability towards her.

Since the token of love has been given, Xiao Heng should have a high impression of her, right? Doesn't that mean that when she cancels her engagement with Xiao Yan, she can win Xiao Heng over directly?

Jiang Li was thinking happily, and at this moment Xiaoduo's voice sounded in her mind.

[Query successful, the system shows that Xiao Heng’s current favorability value is——0]

The smile that was gradually widening on Jiang Li's lips suddenly stopped, and she sat up from the bed.

"Mr. Duo? You mean Mr. Duo?"

Jiang Li widened her eyes in disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong.

[The system currently shows that Xiao Heng's favorability value is 0]

After seeing Jiang Li get angry, Xiaoduo's voice instantly weakened.

Jiang Li laughed angrily: "Haha, 0, good, it's actually 0!"

He saved her from danger and gave her the jade pendant, but in the end, his favorability value is 0!!!

Jiang Li took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and pounded the bed. When she realized that the jade pendant was hurting her hand, she threw it aside.

Any action that does not increase your favorability is just a hooliganism!!

[Host, don't be angry. Maybe Xiao Heng hasn't figured out his feelings yet. The host should get in touch with him more. When he does, his favorability towards the host will naturally increase!]

Jiang Li used her fingers to pick up the loose hair hanging on her forehead, pursed her lips and said, "It can only be like this, I don't believe he is a hard pear tree that won't bloom!"

At this point, Jiang Li couldn't care less and could only take the initiative.

Master Zhang’s class was in the afternoon, so Jiang Li and the others arrived at the lecture hall a quarter of an hour early and happened to meet Xiao Heng and the others on the way.

Wei Lan and Si Yao started arguing with each other as soon as they met, and they ended up fighting.

"Wei Lan, stop right there!"

Si Yao yelled angrily and chased after him, picking up her skirt.

"Lolo, help me stop him!"

"Brother Xiao, Brother Zhou, help!"

Su Luoluo raised her leg and chased after him: "Yaoyao, I'm here to help you!"

Liu Yuexi and Yuan Qing looked at each other and quickened their pace to catch up.

"Let's go, let's follow and take a look. If we don't help them again, Brother Wei will definitely scold us in person again."

Zhou Ziyu shrugged and followed.

Jiang Li had the same idea as Xiao Heng. When everyone came forward to help, she deliberately slowed down her pace and isolated all of them by herself.

In the blink of an eye, the eight people disappeared, and only the two of them were left on the road.

Xiao Heng strode contentedly to Jiang Li's side, pretending to be calm and finding topics to chat with her.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at archery."

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li beside him, his hands clenched together excitedly under his sleeves.

"My grandfather taught me everything. Not only am I good at archery, I'm also pretty good at riding. Do you have time to spar with me?"

Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at him, and the moment their eyes met, Xiao Heng's heart suddenly began to beat fast and his ears felt hot.

"Okay, after the break I'll take you to the stables and we'll have a good sparring match."

"You've been in Kyoto for so many years, you must know a lot of fun places, right?"

After planning to take the initiative, Jiang Li decided to give Xiao Heng what he wanted and get in touch with him more under the guise of having fun.

"That's right. When I was little... I often went out to play with Wei Lan and the others. We went to all the fun places in Kyoto."

Xiao Heng became interested when talking about fun places, and almost let out his true nature and blurted out "Young Master". After realizing it, he quickly braked and forced himself to change the words.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows, seeing through it but not saying it, and continued along with his words: "Then tell me which ones they are, and I'll take a good look around Kyoto when I have time."

Xiao Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said seriously: "There are so many fun places in Kyoto. You just arrived in Kyoto and you are unfamiliar with the place. Why don't you let me take you there?"

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Xiao. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Jiang Li clasped her fists towards him, and followed Wei Lan and the others in calling him Brother Xiao.

Xiao Heng was choked and said quickly: "Well, just call me Ah Heng."

Jiang Li's almond eyes curved: "Okay, Ah Heng."

After hearing his name from her mouth, Xiao Heng's ears turned redder.

Afraid that Jiang Li would notice something, Xiao Heng turned his eyes away from her face. When he lowered his eyes, a smile flashed across his eyes.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he pulled Jiang Li behind him: "Be careful!"
