Qin Ze looked pleadingly at Fang Zixu, but Fang Zixu ignored her and instead looked at Qin Ruoxi.
Qin Ze glanced at his fierce-looking younger sister, sighed, and turned to look at Qin Ruoxi.
"Xi'er, come help your brother! Otherwise, your sister's spittle will drown me!!!"
Jun Qingzhi, standing by the lake, froze upon hearing the word "Xi'er".
"Brother Ze, I think Sister Yuan is right. You've really lowered Sister Yuan's image."
Qin Ze looked up at the sky, wanting to get away from this awkward place.
"Xi'er knows how to talk."
Qin Yu walked to Qin Ruoxi's side and hugged her arm.
Standing by the lake, Jun Qingzhi heard "Xi'er" again and finally couldn't help but turn around and look.
"Qin Yan, can you please stop clinging to Xi'er all the time?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question about sugar cigarettes?"
Bai Tangyan and Qin Jian glared at each other, which gave Qin Jingke an opening.
"Sis, let's go to the lake."
"OK"
Qin Jingke led Qin Ruoxi to the lakeside, while Qin Jian and Bai Tangyan were still staring at each other.
"Yan'er, Qin Yan, Xi'er have been kidnapped!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately turned away from each other and headed towards the lake.
But when Jun Qingzhi saw Qin Ruoxi, who had just turned and was walking towards the lake, her pupils dilated for a moment.
He just stood there quietly, staring blankly at Qin Ruoxi.
Jun Qingzhi's eyes were dark and mysterious, which Fang Zixu, Qin Jingke, and the others did not notice.
Upon arriving at the lake, Qin Ruoxi sat down directly on a rock.
My stone is still here.
As she spoke, Qin Ruoxi reached out to take off her shoes and socks, but Fang Zixu and Qin Jingke stopped her from either side.
What are you two doing?
Qin Ruoxi turned her head to look at the two people, puzzled.
"Sister, there are outsiders here, don't take it off."
But I want to go down and play!
Neither of them could bear to refuse Qin Ruoxi, but Fang Zixu finally spoke up.
"Xi'er, why don't you go downstairs to play wearing your shoes and socks?"
"No, if your shoes and socks get wet, my sister will catch a cold."
Qin Jingke looked at Fang Zixu with displeasure.
"You interrupted me before I could finish speaking. What I meant was to let Xi'er go downstairs to play wearing shoes and socks; I'll have someone go buy some."
"So who are you planning to have buy it?"
Fang Zixu was stunned for a moment when he heard Qin Jingke's words, then glanced around and saw that none of the guards had come.
"I'll let..."
"My guards can run errands for you."
Qin Ruoxi had only uttered two words when she heard a strange voice.
Several people looked towards Jun Qingzhi, who was speaking.
The group looked at Jun Qingzhi, confirming they didn't recognize her and had never seen her before, and none of them spoke.
Why are you helping me?
Qin Ruoxi stood up from the rock, walked past Qin Jingke and Qin Yu, and stood in front of Jun Qingzhi, smiling as she asked...
There's no reason why.
Jun Qingzhi watched as Qin Ruoxi's small, palm-sized face gradually overlapped with the Qin Ruoxi in her memory.
Especially when I saw Qin Ruoxi's eyes
"My father taught me when I was very young that I should not accept help from strangers."
"I am not a stranger"
No sooner had Qin Ruoxi finished speaking than Jun Qingzhi blurted out her own words.
"???"
Jun Qingzhi blinked in confusion, tilted her head, and looked at Jun Qingzhi with puzzlement.
Qin Jingke and Fang Zixu quickly stepped in front of Qin Ruoxi, blocking her way. They frowned and looked at Jun Qingzhi with hostility.
"Mind your own business."
Jun Qingzhi ignored Qin Jingke and Fang Zixu; after all, in her eyes, these two were just immature kids.
He directly instructed Yu He, "Go and buy Miss Qin a pair of shoes that fit."
"yes"
Yu He could only rely on the size of Qin Ruoxi's feet when he saw her preparing to take off her shoes.
"I told you, mind your own business."
Fang Zixu spoke to Jun Qingzhi again, and Qin Jingke also spoke.
"Young master, we have never met before, and we do not need your kind offer of assistance."
After saying that, Qin Jingke turned around, took Qin Ruoxi's hand, and was about to leave.
Fang Zixu quickly grabbed Qin Ruoxi's other hand and started to walk forward.
Jun Qingzhi remained where she was, quietly watching Qin Ruoxi.
Several people surrounded Qin Ruoxi, each taking turns speaking.
"Little Xi'er, let me tell you, don't trust any men outside."
"Yes, I agree with what Bai Tangyan said, especially that you can't trust what good-looking men say."
For once, Qin Yan agreed with Bai Tangyan. Even Bai Tangzhi spoke up.
"Xi'er, one should always be wary of others."
Fang Zixu couldn't help but say, "Xi'er, look how old he is, he definitely has ill intentions."
Qin Jingke and Qin Ze nodded vigorously. Wei Yuanxuan glanced at Jun Qingzhi, feeling a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite place her, so he looked away.
Jun Qingzhi, standing behind, overheard the discussion about her, but said nothing, only licking her back teeth with her tongue.
Is he up to no good? Is he too old? Is he a man outside the marriage?
I am, after all, one of Xiao Xi'er's... oh no, I should say Qin Ruoxi's older brother.
Even though he's just a godbrother, he's still a brother, isn't he?
I've always treated her like a younger sister, but she thinks I have ulterior motives.
At this moment, Jun Qingzhi felt inexplicably irritable, and she didn't know why.
"How did he know my surname is Qin?"
