Jiang Yushi didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xia Wan came closer, leaned forward, and pressed him again: "Hurry up and tell me, who is better looking now or before."

Xia Wan's tone was filled with suppressed anger, as if she was going to cut Jiang Yushi into pieces if he gave a wrong answer in the next second.

Feeling the hot breath coming from the other person's ear and neck, Jiang Yushi felt that the strange feeling became stronger, and a strange tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

It's a strange feeling that I don't know how to describe.

People will have resistance to unfamiliar emotions and dare not accept them. Fear is a bad thing.

Jiang Yushi still didn't dare to look back at Xia Wan. After hesitating for two seconds, he made a choice.

At least they were more comfortable with each other before. Even when Xia Wan said she liked him, he was just shocked instead of feeling strange and weird like he is now.

In fact, Jiang Yushi thinks Xia Wan is prettier now, but because she is too beautiful, he no longer dares to look at her, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

So Jiang Yushi lied against his will and replied: "I still think there is not much difference. If I have to choose one, I'd choose the previous one."

Xia Wan: "???"

Xia Wan laughed angrily, and stretched out her hand to pinch Jiang Yushi's neck. She wanted to shake his head and ask him, "Are you blind too?" But reason stopped her.

So the current scene is that Xia Wan has one hand raised in the air and is shaking wildly, her face is already red with anger, and she is clearly smiling but with an indescribable viciousness in her face.

Feeling the low pressure around him, Jiang Yushi turned around. After seeing Xia Wan's reaction, he was stunned. Then he began to reflect on whether he had said something wrong.

The boy's handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in his own words: "I really don't think there is any difference. You... you have always been very beautiful."

But Xia Wan's expression still didn't ease.

She simply withdrew her hand and let it move to another place to continue trembling.

Xia Wan was so angry that her face turned from red to blue, almost black.

Jiang Yushi was also at a loss because he felt that Xia Wan seemed angry, but he didn't know why.

Just at this moment, Song Zhili came over.

He sat directly next to Xia Wan, looked at her clenched hands, and reached out to cover them.

Jiang Yushi was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what Song Zhili was doing.

At this moment, Xia Wan was still in an extremely angry state, and she did not realize that she and Song Zhili were getting along quite closely.

Song Zhili lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Wan's hand. He inserted his thumb into the gap between her fingers and forcefully spread her five fingers apart.

The palms of Xia Wan's hands were now marked with nail marks from using too much force.

Xia Wan looked up at Song Zhili. Although she didn't understand why he came over, she said nothing.

Because I was so angry at Su Qi and Jiang Yushi that I didn't want to say anything.

Song Zhili didn't ask her what happened, but just said: "Don't hurt yourself. If you want to vent, you can pinch my arm."

Having said that, Song Zhili still did not let go of his hand.

From an outsider's perspective, their hands were tightly clasped at the moment.

Xia Wan looked at Song Zhili and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Of course, she didn't want to cry, she was just angry.

She called his name: "Song Zhili..."

"I'm here." Song Zhili held her hand more tightly and asked with concern: "What happened? Tell me."

Xia Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Yushi, Jiang Yushi is going too far."

Jiang Yushi, who was sitting on the other side, said: "???"

Song Zhili had never thought that it was Jiang Yushi who made Xia Wansheng angry. For a moment he felt like laughing, but he couldn't laugh. He could only continue to ask: "What did he do?"

"he……"

Xia Wan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After all, they don't know the truth and can't understand what she cares about.

She wants to complain to Meng Qing!!!

So Xia Wan stood up, shook off Song Zhili's hand, and ran around the place angrily looking for Meng Qing.

At this moment, only Song Zhili and Jiang Yushi were left here.

Song Zhili looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "What did you do?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yushi's face was full of confusion. He could only repeat what had just happened and said, "I really don't understand why she is so angry."

Song Zhili looked in the direction where Xia Wan left, with a smile in his eyes.

Then he answered Jiang Yushi's question, saying, "Xia Wan said she changed her makeup, and you still praised her for looking better before the changes. Isn't that saying she was overdoing it? Think about it, if you worked hard to do something, but someone said it would be better if you didn't do it, would you not be angry?"

"So that's how it is. I understand." Jiang Yushi suddenly realized and then said with emotion: "Ali, you are really smart."

Song Zhili raised the corners of his lips slightly and said nothing more.

After listening to Xia Wan's complaints, Meng Qing criticized Su Qi and Jiang Yushi righteously, saying that they were both absolutely blind.

Xia Wan's lips twitched, and she smiled: "If you could take your eyes off my brother for a moment when you said this, your words would be more credible."

Meng Qing: "..."

The person involved is just very embarrassed.

Xia Wan also realized that Meng Qing was not on her side! How abominable!!!

Xia Wan left sadly. She wanted to be alone and leave this sad place.

The weather is very cold, but there is little wind tonight. Plus, the skirt wraps Xia Wan tightly, so it is acceptable for her to go out for a short while.

Xia Wan came to the back garden, but saw a sneaky figure by the pool.

And that person had a very recognizable feature, which was his silver hair.

Xia Wan didn't understand why Wei Chiyan didn't stay inside and was squatting beside her pool for no reason.

So Xia Wan walked over and called his name: "Wei Chiyan."

Wei Chiyan raised his head and saw that it was Xia Wan who came. He did not intend to stand up. He just put his hand to his lips and said to her: "Hush."

This aroused Xia Wan's curiosity, and she walked over to see what Wei Chiyan was looking at.

Then her expression became complicated.

Because she saw two toads on the surface of the pond.

One of them is lying on the back of the other, which is obviously a breeding posture.

And their reproduction process is being watched by two humans.

Xia Wan looked at Wei Chiyan and asked anxiously, "Do you still have this habit?"

Before Wei Chiyan could answer, a bigger toad suddenly appeared from the side and pounced on him.

Because it was too close, Xia Wan was not mentally prepared and was frightened. She thought the toad was going to jump onto the shore, so she instinctively took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Wei Chiyan was quick enough to grab her wrist, thus preventing the skirt from being damaged.

After making sure Xia Wan was standing steadily, Wei Chiyan let go of her hand. He looked at Xia Wan and asked, "Do you know what the three of them are doing?"

Xia Wan: "...Three Toads?"

Wei Chiyan laughed out loud when he heard this answer. He seemed to be in a good mood, but he shook his head and denied her answer: "No, guess again."

Xia Wan looked at the bigger toad trying to separate the two breeding toads and said, "I know, this big toad is the original one, and it's catching the adulterer!"

"What on earth are you thinking about?" Wei Chiyan was impressed by Xia Wan's miraculous train of thought and found it funny. His mood suddenly became good and he stretched out his hand to ask her to squat down with him.

Out of curiosity, Xia Wan listened to Wei Chiyan's words.

So the two of them squatted by the pond and continued to watch the toads fight.

"Is it coming to join the family?"

"No, it's trying to break them up."

"Why can't you take it off even though it's like this? It loves it so much."

“…”

Wei Chiyan pointed at the big toad and said, "We call it A. It is a strong toad, so it makes a loud noise to attract female toads. We call the small one B. It is very weak and has no competitive power among toads, so it cannot attract female toads. So when A attracts female toads, B will get there first and lurk nearby. When the female toads approach, B will rush out to intercept them and mate first. Now, although A has reacted, he can't stop it. The children of B and the female toads will be as weak as it is, and they will have to rely on this despicable way to reproduce." [Note 1]

Xia Wan was shocked that there were so many complicated emotional disputes in the toad world.

The fight between the two toads was so intense that some water splashed out of the surface of the pond.

Xia Wan hurriedly tried to hide backwards, but Wei Chiyan stretched out his arm to block her.

He said, "We have seen enough, let's go."

Xia Wan didn't want to be splashed with water, so she quickly got up and followed.

Perhaps because of all the strange experiences he had with toads mating, Wei Chiyan's attitude was relatively mild. He asked, "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"

Xia Wan didn't tell the truth, but said: "It's very stuffy staying in there, let's go out and get some fresh air."

After saying that, she sneezed.

Wei Chiyan hesitated for a moment, but still took off his suit jacket and covered Xia Wan's head with it.

Xia Wan suddenly felt dizzy: "?"

She took off her coat and put it on, looking at Wei Chiyan with some amusement, how could someone be so awkward? To show concern for someone, you have to use an annoying way.

Two people stood on the path, next to the swing and street lights.

Xia Wan felt tired, so she put on Wei Chiyan's coat and sat on the swing.

Wei Chiyan stopped, looked back at her, and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Xia Wan shook her head and said, "Wait a moment."

Wei Chiyan said: "Then I will leave first."

"Wait a moment." Xia Wan called out to Wei Chiyan, then whitewashed her finger at him and patted the swing beside her.

Wei Chiyan looked at her with a vigilant look and did not take the next step.

Xia Wan asked provocatively: "What are you afraid of?"

Afraid?

Provocation is an old-fashioned but effective tactic.

Wei Chiyan sat down next to Xia Wan with a cold face and asked: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to ask you a question, and you must answer it honestly according to your conscience." Xia Wan thought about it and felt that Wei Chiyan was actually a relatively simple and kind person, so he would definitely tell the truth.

Wei Chiyan didn't understand: "Why are you being so mysterious? Just say it directly."

Xia Wan still didn't say anything and insisted that he promise: "You must tell the truth 100%."

Wei Chiyan nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth, hurry up."

Xia Wan took a deep breath and asked the same question again: "Who do you think is more beautiful, me now or me before?"

Try again, she is unwilling to give up, so she tries one last time.

"...Huh?" Wei Chiyan looked at Xia Wan with a look that almost said "are you sick?" and said, "What kind of problem is this?"

Xia Wan looked at him seriously and said, "You promised, so you must answer seriously and honestly."

When their eyes met, Wei Chiyan stopped smiling and looked at Xia Wan, saying, "Let me think about it."

Xia Wan looked at him, her face full of anticipation.

Then Wei Chiyan scratched his hair and said, "None of them look good. What's the point of choosing?"

As soon as Wei Chiyan finished speaking, he felt a punch in his lower abdomen.

Then Xia Wan threw Wei Chiyan's suit jacket back to him and covered Wei Chiyan's head.

But this is not the end. Xia Wan grabbed Wei Chiyan's head and shook it wildly: "Shut up!!!"

Wei Chiyan was shaken so hard that his head was spinning, but he was still stubborn: "Didn't you ask me to be honest? Stop shaking, I'm dizzy... dizzy!"

After finally waiting for Xia Wan to let go, Wei Chiyan pulled his coat off his head and reached out to touch his hair which had been completely ruined.

He looked in the direction Xia Wan left.

The girl walked forward in the garden, lifting her slightly exaggerated skirt. She walked very quickly, like a runaway princess in a movie.

But just from her back, you can tell that she must be very angry. Perhaps it was because she asked those strange yet cute questions when they were watching the toad together just now, which made Wei Chiyan feel much more comfortable getting along with her than he had imagined.

Wei Chiyan stretched out his hand to tidy up his hair, with a smile on his face that he was not even aware of.

After returning to the banquet, Xia Wan saw her brother again, and saw the face that made her irritated.

She walked over and compared them carefully.

Xia Mu felt guilty when Xia Wan looked at him like that. He took a step back and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xia Wan asked: "Do you think you look prettier than me in women's clothing?"

Xia Mu: "…Are you out of your mind?"

Xia Wan did not answer Xia Mu's question, but lowered her voice and said viciously: "I was the first to become F1. Even if you look prettier in women's clothes than me, I look more handsome in men's clothes than you."

Xia Mu: "..."

Forget it, he won't argue about these.

Xia Mu asked directly: "Have you seen Wei Chiyan?"

"Ah?" Xia Wan asked back: "What do you want to do with him?"

Xia Mu said: "I haven't talked to him yet, and I haven't seen him in a long time."

Xia Wan said sincerely, "He might still be watching the mating of toads by the pond in our back garden. Do you want to go over and watch with him?"

Xia Mu: "..."

never mind.

He sounds like a very unreliable person, and Xie said that there is no need to be too wary of him.

So Xia Mu lowered his voice and told Xia Wan the summary of his attempts today: "Then forget about Wei Chiyan. Jiang Yushi is an okay person. I feel he is easy to talk to and can make friends with. But as for Song Zhili, you'd better spend less time with him. I always feel that there is something wrong with him, but I can't put my finger on it."

"Ah?" Xia Wan looked at Xia Mu, her face full of confusion: "What could be wrong with him?"

"I don't know." Xia Mu shook his head and said, "It's just my intuition. I feel that he is not as gentle as he looks on the surface. He has more things on his mind. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can ask Xie Ni for help. He...he is more reliable than he looks."

Xia Wan: "......?"

It's really strange! This is the first time in my life that I heard someone say that Xie is unreliable and Song Zhili is weird.

After all, between the gentle Song Zhili and the eccentric Xie Ni, a normal person would have a better first impression of Song Zhili.

This is what Xia Wan thought and asked.

Xia Mu did not explain, but just said: "Just trust me."

Of course Xia Wan didn't believe it.

But she was too lazy to argue with Xia Mu, so she nodded perfunctorily and then asked: "You did so many things tonight, do you still remember what I asked you to do?"

Xia Mu looked at her strangely: "What?"

Xia Wan pursed her lips and uttered an onomatopoeia: "噓——"

Xia Mu's face darkened again and he said, "Shut up! I never promised you anything!"

Xia Wan clasped her hands together and blinked as she looked at Xia Mu: "Brother, my dear brother, this is the only thing I want from you in my life."

Xia Mu ignored her.

Xia Wan could also see that Xia Mu was determined at the moment, so she rolled her eyes and walked upstairs dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, the banquet was almost over and the guests left one after another, leaving only Song Zhili and his friends.

The reason why they haven't left yet is because the servant went to the garden to find Wei Chiyan, and they are waiting for Wei Chiyan to come back.

And Meng Qing wanted to take a few more glances at Xia Mu.

Xia Wan went downstairs quickly again.

She very pretentiously poured a full glass of red wine onto Xia Mu's chest "accidentally", and then said in surprise: "Sorry, brother, I didn't mean it."

Xia Mu took a deep breath.

He said, "It's all right, my dear sister, I will go upstairs and change it into a new one now."

"No." Xia Wan held Xia Mu, handed him a white shirt, and said with a smile: "I'll take it off for you, change here."

Xia Mu: "......?"

Feeling the rest of the people's gazes moving towards him, Xia Mu lowered his voice and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Xia Wan put down her goblet and smiled as well: "Pants and shirt, choose one."

Choose one to take off, and then go show off your manly body.

Xia Mu: "..."

Is she done yet?

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

But not far away.

Jiang Yushi looked at Xia Wan and Xia Mu in surprise, then turned to ask Song Zhili and Xie Yan: "Did they... have a fight?"

He clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere there.

Song Zhili responded: "Maybe."

Xie Yan said, "Who knows?"

Jiang Yushi realized that these two people were just trying to fool him.

As for Xia Wan and Xia Mu.

In fact, the two of them started playing rock-paper-scissors.

After the result was decided after two wins in three games, Xia Mu was unwilling to accept defeat.

He first unbuttoned his tie, then took off his suit jacket, and then began to unbutton his shirt one by one.

Xia Wan reminded him: "Turn around, don't face me. I'm a girl and I'll be shy."

Xia Mu: "..."

Don't think he doesn't know, she just wants to face those people!

But at Xia Wan's urging, Xia Mu turned around.

It was a very strange scene that the good brothers were taking off their clothes in front of themselves in front of a large crowd (there were only a few of them left).

Jiang Yushi was even a little scared and asked: "What is he doing? Why did he suddenly take off his clothes?"

This time Xie Yan answered him: "The red wine spilled on Xia Mu, and Xia Wan brought him a new one."

Not far away, Meng Qing covered his eyes with his hands.

Oh, the kind where you spread your five fingers out and the gaps between your fingers are wide enough to fit two fingers in.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded behind Xia Wan, accompanied by a carefree "I'm coming!"

It was Wei Chiyan.

Jiang Yushi was the first to stand up and walk over. Song Zhili and Xie Ni looked at each other and followed him.

Hearing a sound behind him, Xia Mu instinctively turned around to look.

"Good guy." Looking at Xia Mu with his upper body naked, Wei Chiyan asked curiously: "What are you doing? Performing performance art?"

Xia Mu threw the dirty shirt aside, took the one from Xia Wan's hand and put it on, saying, "Change it."

"Oh." Wei Chiyan nodded in response, and it seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart. He even walked towards Jiang Yushi.

However, he took just two steps before his steps stopped and he immediately stepped back.

then--

Wei Chiyan bent down, leaned over to look at Xia Mu's chest, and patted it with his hand.

Everyone: "..."

When Jiang Yushi saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground when he walked over.

Xia Mu: "???"

Xia Wan: "...Wei Chiyan, what are you doing?"

"Although he has pectoral muscles, they are still a little weak. Why are they not as developed as I imagined?" Wei Chiyan seemed very unbelievable when he said this.

Xia Mu: "...Why are you imagining my chest muscles?"

"Because I've touched it before, and it feels good. I thought you were paying attention to exercise because you were in poor health before, and I wanted to exchange fitness experiences with you." Wei Chiyan sighed when he said this, and it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with Xia Mu's mediocre chest muscles. He immediately lost the desire to go to the gym with him.

At the scene, except for Jiang Yushi, everyone's face changed when they heard Wei Chiyan's words.

The moment she met Xia Mu's eyes, in order to prove her innocence, Xia Wan immediately asked: "Wei Chiyan, what are you talking about? Why did you touch my brother's chest muscles?"

Xia Wan's response of "absolutely not true" made Xia Mu feel a little relieved, but he still asked: "Yeah, how come I don't know?"

"You are too heartless, aren't you?" Wei Chiyan looked at Xia Mu with dissatisfaction, then thought that the other party might really not know about this matter, so he explained to him reluctantly: "That time when you had a fever, we took turns to take care of you. I was the first one to take care of you, and you kept holding my hand and pressed my hand on your chest. By the way, have you neglected exercise recently? You look weaker than Jiang Yushi now. Do you want to go to the gym together next week?"

Xia Mu rejected Wei Chiyan without hesitation: "...I don't want it."

Then he turned his head and looked at Xia Wan, smiling, a very strange smile.

Xia Wan: "..."

Hold.

How could this happen? She only found out about it today.

She pressed Wei Chiyan's hand on her chest? Damn his well-developed chest muscles!

But Xia Wan couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, it was Wei Chiyan that night. If it had been someone else, he would have been exposed long ago.

Jiang Yushi: "..."

What does it mean to look weaker than him? What is Wei Chiyan trying to pull down?

Song Zhili's eyes fell on Wei Chiyan's hand. No one knew what he was thinking and his expression was expressionless.

The last of the last.

Xia Mu sent them away one by one. On the surface, he seemed as if nothing had happened, but because of what had just happened, he never showed a good face to Wei Chiyan again.

Wei Chiyan thought Xia Mu was too petty. Wasn't it just a remark that Xia Mu was not in good shape? Was it necessary to hold such a grudge?

The last car to arrive was the Xie family's. Before Xie Yan got in, Xia Mu lowered his voice and said, "Well, my sister is in your hands. Be careful. I think Wei Chiyan is the most dangerous. And Song Zhili, keep him away from my sister."

"Okay." Xie Yan agreed immediately and showed Xia Mu a rare gentle smile: "Trust me, I will definitely help you take good care of her."

Xia Mu: "..."

He still felt like something was wrong.

The author has something to say:

Xia Mu now: Good brother, I can only trust you

Xia Mu in the future: Damn, none of them are good
