Chapter 258 [Holding a grudge]
Jiang Lili was confused: "Brother, it's almost Chinese New Year, can you say something auspicious?"
After hearing Sheng Zhixing's words, all the students present were stunned, and then burst into laughter.
@Jiang Lili: @Qi Yun, squad leader, can you cure hearing loss?
@Liao Ji: @Zhang Xiaopang, can hearing aids be fitted if the patient is not present?
@张小胖: I've expedited the delivery of reading glasses to Li Li. I got a pair of each in different prescriptions for emergency use! I'll ask about hearing aids! I've been in contact with medical device manufacturers lately.
Jiang Lili took out a pair of reading glasses of various degrees from her backpack, just like she was selling them wholesale, and stuffed them into Sheng Zhixing's pockets. "You urgently needed the reading glasses, and Xiaopang bought them for you first."
Then she handed Sheng Zhixing a blueprint that was familiar with the current situation: "Remember to take a look at the expansion plan I gave you. Discuss it with Wen Qiao and the others. After all, you are an expert!"
Jiang Lili waved and left.
After Sheng Zhixing tried on the reading glasses given by Jiang Lili in turn, he chose the glasses with the best prescription for him.
Looking at the reading glasses with trendy leopard print frames in his hand, then at other reading glasses with various frames like rose red and bright purple, Sheng Zhixing was speechless and choked: "Xiaopang, tell me the truth, are you still holding a grudge against me for catching you late for a group meeting in high school?"
@张小胖: No, no, this is the only pair of reading glasses my supermarket has left! My grandfather's shopping aesthetic! Leopard print, look how chic they are!
Sheng Zhixing had no choice but to put on his glasses and spread out the drawings Jiang Lili gave him.
When Master Liao and others saw Sheng Zhixing wearing leopard-print glasses and reading the drawings like an old man reading a newspaper, they could hardly hold back their laughter. It was such a weird scene!
After seeing the expansion plan Jiang Lili gave him, Sheng Zhixing was in tears.
The south bank of Haizhou Island has been controlled by Jiang Lili, while He Xiuzhu, who has defected to Jiang Lili on the north bank, is deeply loved by the people.
Further north, in Dasheng Chao Lingnan, Jiang Lili and her partner, the He family, controlled the economic lifeline.
The capital is also full of talented people, not to mention the female general Xin Ningyu and their group of gigolo khans in the northwest Bol grassland.
Looking at the arrows on the drawing, Jiang Lili plans to expand to Southeast Asia, first conquer these island countries, and then go north to attack Japan and Goryeo... Dasheng is very powerful, so let's not fight for the time being, first take the countries around Dasheng into the pocket and surround Dasheng.
Damn it, Sheng Zhixing clenched the plan drawing. How come Jiang Lili and the others had already realized what he had planned in his mind?
He is envious and jealous!
Sheng Zhixing cried in grief and anger: "You are young and powerful, but what do I have?!"
Guan Yue was silent for a moment, then answered him, "You have... a little presbyopia and hearing loss."
Sheng Zhixing felt like someone had shot him in the heart.
Master Liao patted his thigh and said, "Don't be discouraged. Aren't you the old emperor of Nanzhao? Your status is very important! We brothers can lead you back to Nanzhao, and in less than three years we will be able to welcome the emperor back to the throne!"
Wen Qiao nodded, his tone thoughtful: "The Nanzhao Kingdom is currently in internal strife, and several neighboring countries may be plotting to intervene and annex Nanzhao."
Sheng Zhixing also turned serious: "The Nanzhao civil unrest is currently only known to me, as the person involved, and their confidants. It has not yet been made public, so we still have time to plan and strategize."
Rong Shen pulled Sheng Zhixing aside and said, "Hey, don't think too much right now. Overthinking can hurt your health. Let's go eat some skewers!"

A flat area in the back mountain.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Several explosions of fire bombs exploded in the mountains.
This is a shooting range specially set up for soldiers to practice using fire poles.
Jiang Lili heard Cheng Jiayu say that Xin Che went to the shooting range, so she came here.
Xin Che was practicing his marksmanship. The cold moonlight shone on his crimson robe, which looked like frost reflecting the morning glow. It was very beautiful.
He tilted his head slightly, aimed at the bull's eye, his eyes cold as ice.
"Bang--"
Another explosion sounded, startling the crows in the woods.
Sensing someone, Xin Che turned around warily and met Jiang Lili's dark pupils. His eyes immediately softened and he unconsciously lowered his voice: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Lili's long eyelashes fluttered. Xin Che seldom wore red, and she thought red was not suitable for his cold temperament. However, she didn't expect that when she saw it today, it would make her eyes brighten.
The eye-catching red color perfectly complements his sharp and profound features and his fearless majesty. Especially since there is no one around, his powerful aura is not concealed at all.
Jiang Lili was enveloped in the man's cold aura.
"Huh? Why are you in a daze?"
Xin Che reminded Jiang Lili, and she finally came to her senses. She pointed down the mountain in the direction of the dining camp and said, "There are new friends on the island. I want to introduce you to them."
Xin Che shook his head and put away the firewood stick in his hand: "You two should reminisce about the past first. It seems like you have known each other for many years."
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's indifferent expression and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you curious about why I'm familiar with so many people who seem to have nothing in common with me?"
"curious."
To Jiang Lili's surprise, Xin Che answered very readily, almost blurting it out.
Looking at Jiang Lili's slightly widened almond eyes, Xin Che's expression flashed with regret. He always lost his composure in front of her.
Jiang Lili expressed her doubts: "If you are curious, why don't you ask?"
Xin Che's dense eyelashes trembled a few times, like a black butterfly flapping its wings to fly.
He looked at her straight, with flames dancing in his eyes, and his tone was strong, like an undercurrent: "I am curious about everything about you."
"But the choice is yours whether to tell me or not."
The flickering fire in Xin Che's eyes faded. He lowered his gaze, and his previously intense tone faded. "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say."
Jiang Lili felt the change in the other person's mood and couldn't help but look at him seriously, her eyes full of worry, afraid that the other person would feel ignored.
Seeing Jiang Lili's worried expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Xin Che rubbed the top of her head.
He remembered that Jiang Lili once picked up a frightened little rabbit in the mountains and comforted it in this way.
"Actually, I'm very happy."
Xin Che tucked the loose hair around Jiang Lili's ears behind hers and said, "New Year's Eve is only seven days away, and you don't have your family around you. It's great to have so many people around you and have such a lively time."
It was the first time that Jiang Lili heard Xin Che talk so much and share his thoughts with her.
Jiang Lili thought it was time to explain her origins to Xin Che: "They and I all came from a thousand years later. We call that world the modern world."
When Xin Che heard Jiang Lili's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the little girl would confide in him. Does this mean that she completely trusts him?
"We were classmates, studying in the same college, and spent three memorable years together."
