The next day.
In the evening, there was a light drizzle. From outside the window, one could hear rustling noises coming from a banana leaf. The iron horse on the roof also knocked on the door for the whole night.
Jin Se sat quietly in front of the window, holding the brush in his hand.
The matter of him being taken away by Qi Yue at school must have spread like wildfire.
Looking at her upset expression, Li Luo only pursed his lips and laughed, then said, "Miss, we're not even taking the top scholar exam, why would we need to write so many words in an entire day?"
Jin Se gently placed the pen in his hand down. After lowering his head for a long time, his neck started to ache, and he reached out to scratch it. When the ink on the peach blossom paper had dried up, Fang gently rolled it up.
Li Luo laughed, "I will ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of fire meat cabbage soup for Miss, and some shrimp, with green bamboo shoots and purple vegetables, what do you think?"
Jin Se instructed indifferently, "We will bring some spicy dishes from the south, mixed with sesame oil sauce."
Her brows showed neither happiness nor sorrow, she was as calm as a lake full of spring water.
After breakfast, Jin Se sat on the bed and embroidered his handkerchief. Li Luo quietly wiped his hair by the side.
Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door, and asked softly, "Is Miss Jin Se in?"
Li Luo raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"
As he went to open the door, he saw that person standing in the rain. He was handsome, and his expression was upright and clear. There was also a hint of gentleness in his expression.
Jin Se looked up, only to see the man politely smiling, and said, "Miss Jin Se, I am Second Young Master's assistant, Xiao Muzhi. Second Young Master ordered me to send something over. "
Jin Se lightly nodded his head, and said with a light smile, "Please enter," and then instructed Li Luo, "Bring in some tea."
Xiao Muzhi politely picked up his teacup and took a few sips. Seeing a handkerchief on the table, he accidentally looked at it.
He asked casually, "Why only embroider a goose?"
Jin Se said softly, "Standing there and looking at your hometown, your lonely shadow is miserable and pitiful."
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, but shifted his gaze away and smiled, "Miss Jin Se, Second Young Master has instructed me to give this to you."
Jin Se was stunned. He felt something in his hand.
She lowered her head and frowned. It was actually a jade bracelet. That bracelet was made from fine Blue Sky Jade. It was sparkling and transparent, and warm to the touch.
A look of embarrassment appeared on her calm face. Staring at the crab green sky outside the window, she slowly asked, "Second Elder Brother, what does that mean?"
Xiao Muzhi smiled slightly, "Lady Jin Se understands, and she seems to understand. Why do you need to ask me?"
Just as Jin Se was about to speak, she heard him say, "Alright, my mission is completed. Whether Miss Jin Se wants to keep or withdraw this bracelet, please tell Second Young Master yourself." He stood up and continued, "Goodbye."
He took a few steps forward, and a gentle voice sounded from behind him. Turning around, she slowly stood up and asked, "Second Brother … When will he be free? "
Xiao Muzhi thought for a while, then replied, "Bangwan."
He turned his head and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, "Miss Jin Se, you have to leave as soon as possible …"
Jin Se was startled, but when he raised his head, he had already turned around and left.
Li Luo went over and closed the door, then helped her sit down.
Her mind was wandering. She sat by the window and spread out her tightly clenched hands. After holding it for a long time, she was gradually sweating.
When he looked through the window, he could see that the bracelet was extremely watery. It was completely green, just like a pool of green water.
However, a desolate smile appeared on her mouth due to astonishment. Li Luo was afraid, so he could only call out: "Young miss."
Jin Se said indifferently, "Let's go, to school, let's not let Third Elder Sister wait too long."
After school was let out at dusk, because Qi Zhen wanted to participate in the school's rehearsal, Jin Se went back alone.
When she walked out of the school, just as she was about to call the rickshaw man, she turned around and saw a person standing under the wutong tree in front of the school gate.
Just as she was about to turn around, that person called her politely, "Cousin sister Jin Se."
Jin Se was unable to avoid his gaze, and could only smile as she went forward, her lips slightly pursed, "Second Elder Brother."
Qi Yue looked at her and slowly said, "Sister, you seem to be intentionally avoiding me?"
At first, she was startled, but when she looked at his burning eyes, she started to panic. "Why would Second Brother think like that?"
Qi Yue smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, that's good."
He opened the car door, extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, and waited for Jin Se to get on the car door and then slammed it shut, sending her all the way back to the residence.
He glanced sideways at her. His eyes were as clear as the new snow, and his eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. He looked uneasy, so he asked with a smile, "Sister is still angry with me for what happened yesterday?"
Jin Se lowered his head and said, "How could that be, it's just a joke between second brother and me."
Qi Yue fixed his eyes on her, his gaze deep, and smiled slightly, "Since you are called third sister Xiao Sang, I am also only one year older than you, you can call me Lan Cheng, which would make me feel better."
Jin Se naturally knew that Lan Cheng was his character. This kind of intimate address was definitely not ordinary, and his intention was self-evident.
She involuntarily tightened her grip on a small handkerchief in her hand, tightly twirling it in circles between her fingers.
Qi Yue saw that her face was gradually blushing, the kind of beauty that was out of this world, made him feel enchanted.
Jin Se raised his clear eyes and looked at Qi Yue, and said: "Second brother, I do not dare to be rash."
Qi Yue laughed, "What do you mean by reckless? We are not outsiders either."
Jin Se said indifferently, "Even though this is the case, it is still a form of respect."
Qi Yue smiled lightly, "Respectful, I would like to know what kind of respect it is? Is it respect for each other? "
Jin Se's calm eyes were still as calm as ever, "Second brother, I am not worthy of you acting like this."
Qi Yue's lips originally had a touch of a faint smile, but at this moment, his hands were moved, and he couldn't help but hurriedly brake.
Jin Se was caught off guard, she was originally leaning over and talking to him, but at this time, she was not in time to stop and directly fell into his embrace.
Qi Yue felt as if there was a piece of soft and fragrant jade in his embrace. Looking at this scene, he was indescribably happy, and he couldn't help but to fold his arms. He pulled over to the side of the road and watched her eyes roll like two crystals.
"You did it on purpose."
Seeing that even her ears had turned completely red and her head was slightly lowered, she didn't dare to speak. She was like a frightened little deer, extremely lovable, and so she smiled and said, "Fine, at least you didn't do it on purpose."
Qi Yue slowly let go of Jin Se and reached out to grab her hand. However, his brows were knitted, "Why aren't you wearing it?"
Although he was wandering around in the flowers every day, it was just a show for the people to see.
It was his first time giving a gift properly, but it didn't seem like he was taken seriously?
Jin Se didn't even think that his voice was his. He gathered his courage and asked, "What?"
He could not help but feel anxious. He raised his eyes and met his own. He stared at her with eyes filled with tenderness, "Jin Se, I saw that you fell for you at first glance," he paused for a moment. "Perhaps it was fated in our past life that we would meet again."
Jin Se could not help but shiver in her heart. She was only curious, she had long heard that this second brother of his was a playboy child who indulged in love day and night.
But today, his vile aura had been fully restrained, and he had a cool and indifferent appearance, as though he was an elegant and refined young master.
She raised her eyes and saw a clear and cold look in that lake that was as calm as autumn water. "Second brother, I did not have that blessing."
He hurriedly took out the bracelet from his sleeve and placed it on the seat. After that, he slammed the door shut and left in a flurry.
Qi Yue sat in the carriage and did not give chase.
Holding the jade bracelet in his hand, he looked at her figure and only gave a self-deprecating smile.
