Chapter 07 Who is Whose Calamity

While going to the hospital to collect the last course of medication, she could not help but visit the ward of the two gland departments

He did not drive today, but took her car instead, making her the driver. After driving into the alley near Taojiang Road, he called her down to help her back the car out.

Xu Si had no specific instructions; he merely asked about each part of the meeting that he did not fully understand.

The person in the jianghu proudly said: "My dad can do it; when I was seven years old, I could still sit on his shoulders"

Yue Shan said: "I know"

They were originally neighbors, having grown up together since childhood, which is what we often refer to as childhood sweethearts. After Gao Yi came to Shanghai and spent a few years here, Teacher Hai was admitted to the Normal University. Teacher Hai's family situation was not very good; her mother was suffering from breast cancer and was receiving treatment in Shanghai. Her father had abandoned them, leaving all the burdens on Teacher Hai's shoulders. Later, Teacher Hai came to our school for an internship, and she reunited with Gao Yi. I believe it was during that time that they developed feelings for each other

In the bustling scene, she watched as the person getting out of the car was surrounded by flower umbrellas, making it difficult for her to see clearly. Instinctively, she stood on her tiptoes, catching only a glimpse of the bride's blurred silhouette, adorned in a floor-length white wedding gown

The saying goes: "I believe that the reputation within the industry speaks louder than my asking a thousand questions. Now, your situation is that you are married with children, and many companies would welcome such employees, wouldn't they?"

She felt a slight tremor. This was a past she had never known, and it turned out to be such a beginning. She knew nothing at all.

The black umbrella, the white figure, stands out so vividly in this gloomy weather

For a moment, she found herself feeling a mix of emotions

She gradually calmed her agitated emotions, reined in her wandering thoughts one by one, and focused her attention. She spoke directly and candidly: "I am very sad; these are things I had not anticipated. Thank you for telling me everything. In this world, it is not only we who suffer. Sometimes I am too selfish."

Unexpectedly, Xu Sijian smiled and said, "In the world of rivers and lakes, don't bother trying to confuse me."

Open your mouth, Jianghu Guai Guai

Xu Si glanced at the rivers and lakes while driving

The rivers and lakes have come to a standstill, allowing him to embrace.

Jianghu shook off his hand, while Mo Xiangwan had already gotten into the car, bidding farewell to her husband with a wave.

She asked him again: "Will your dad let you ride on his shoulders?"

Xu Si looked at her with a smile and said, "Then why don't you teach me how to pursue someone appropriately?" He released her but still held her hand, firmly pulling her under his umbrella, and added, "You shouldn't always look so stressed, as if I am doing something heinous."

In the bustling world, she glanced over there, where Gao Yi had already taken the wheelchair from the doctor and was pushing Hai Lan towards the garden of the hospital. She understood immediately

Jiang Hu wanted to rub his eyes to see clearly, but his hand was caught by Xu Si, who said, "Don't touch around; I applied ointment to you while you were asleep." He called the nurse to remove the needle from Jiang Hu and then helped her to stand up

It turned out that he had seen that family portrait. He took the frame in his hands and, with a childlike innocence, said, "Everyone says I look like my dad." She then asked him, "What about you? I have seen your mother; you don't resemble her much, so you should also look like your father."

The objective has been achieved, Xu Si smiled, he opened the car door and got out, casually saying "good night".

His intentions for attending the meeting are somewhat discernible. Naturally, he has some feelings for her, but it is not limited to that alone. Since Xu Si intends to pursue something, he will undoubtedly do extensive research beforehand. Over the past few months, he has visited countless clothing factories and apparel companies, not to mention how thoroughly he has investigated his own investment ventures.

He really is not polite at all. In the world of martial arts, there is no choice; he took the key and opened his father's room, finding a set of pajamas for him, "My dad isn't as tall as you, so make do with this!"

The more this is the case, the more one desires to understand everything about her

All passersby would assume that this is a pair of sweethearts, who are about to get married, unable to contain their feelings in the rain

The takeout was packed in an insulated bag, which was done very carefully, and the bag had the letters "Cee" on it. She brought it home and opened it, and a sweet aroma wafted out, which was quite appetizing. The contents were rather simple, consisting only of bird's nest porridge and a refreshing cold dish of vegetables, each packed in different containers, with just the right amount.

This is her greatest virtue, as she will never go against the present benefits

The young girl is always able to fall down and get back up, continuing with vigor, and she will soon recover. Xu Si smiled. He walked up to her, gently tapped her forehead, and said, "There is relaxation and tension, this is very good"

Someone emerged from behind the rivers and lakes, "Are you ill?"

Xu Si felt a stir in his heart

In the evening, Jianghu walked out of Paul and made her way to the exhibition center across the street. There, the green trees provided cover, and the bustling crowd ensured that no one would see her

Jianghu pondered for a moment and suggested, "There is a tea house downstairs from my home that is quite discreet, and the tea is excellent"

In fact, he could have bid her farewell with great gentlemanly grace after escorting her home, but he did not. Instead, he chose to sleep on the sofa of the Jiang family, wearing Jiang Qisheng's pajamas and covered with a blanket that Jiang Hu had personally taken out.

The wanderer asked him: "What further instructions do you have, boss?"

Qi Sitian let out a soft snort, "You and him are truly a match made in heaven. I just wonder who ultimately deceived whom."

Xu Si cast her a sidelong glance and said, "So there are indeed things in this world that you envy."

He drove the car to the nearest first-class hospital to Jiang's home, and only after parking it steadily in the hospital's parking lot did he nudge Jiang Hu. To his surprise, she had really fallen asleep. He leaned in closer and noticed her cheeks were flushed. He reached out to check her forehead, which felt extremely hot, so he gently pushed her to wake her up.

However, Jiang Qisheng is no longer here, and he can no longer protect his daughter from harm. Whether it is a malicious trap or a genuine opportunity for advancement, it is up to the world of martial arts to calculate and seize for itself

Qi Sitian is a sweet and beautiful woman, her furrowed brows adding an extra touch of charm reminiscent of the legendary beauty Xi Zi holding her heart. The people of the Jianghu gaze upon her, observing her, momentarily lost in thought. She wonders how her appearance truly cannot compare to that of Qi Sitian. What is Xu Si really thinking?

Xu Si said: "In the rivers and lakes, the flower pot I gave you, there is another one of the same style, and it also has a phrase written on it."

Later, Jianghu drove Xu Si back to the small villa in Pudong. Along the way, she couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you drive when you go out?"

She then escorted Mo Xiangwan to the factory gate and bid farewell with a handshake

Indeed, a strange BMW was parked in the factory area, with two gentlemen standing by the car chatting, both of whom were acquaintances from the underworld. One of them greeted Mo Xiangwan as soon as he saw her, while the other walked straight over to Jianghu.

The person leaned closer to Xu Si's side, shrinking back even more.

Xu Si said: "Having walked through a leg of mud, I probably won't be able to attend the wedding"

Hong Die, who initially wore a cheerful smile, eventually adopted a serious expression and said: "You must properly respect this young lady; if she feels that she has been wronged, she will demand what is owed to her."

In the world of rivers and lakes, with a nod, she takes a bite of the preserved vegetable and bamboo shoots, the flavor of the dried bamboo shoots is rich, sweet and salty to the taste, instantly whetting her appetite. Thus, it can be said that she has not encountered many beautiful things.

Qi Sitian also set down the cup, her expression grave, "Some people are born lucky, while others lead lives filled with misfortune. It is inevitable for people to make mistakes in this world; some pay a greater price, while others pay a lesser one. Heaven is not necessarily fair"

She actually thought of so many things while crying in the arms of this man

In fact, the rivers and lakes think the same way about themselves

A glance at Xu Si's silhouette in the rivers and lakes suddenly evokes a sense of embarrassment rising from within her heart. Upon reflection, it is both distressing and comforting, leaving her somewhat at a loss. This is a feeling she has never experienced before; she wishes to quickly rid herself of it, yet also desires to understand it clearly, while simultaneously fearing the clarity of that understanding.

Xu Si smiled, acquiescing to her wishes, no longer being overly affectionate. He left only after escorting her into the injection room

Qi Sitian said casually: "I have always been easygoing"

Qi Sitian asked: "Would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

She looked up, squinting her eyes at him, and indeed he had a weary expression, which made her feel a bit embarrassed, and she said: "My home is in the neighborhood just across the street."

She blushed

Qi Sitian smiled and said, "I know there are very quiet private rooms there. Jianghu, sometimes your thoughts are so quick that they make people envious"

In the eyes of Jianghu, it seemed that there was no need to consider any business secrets in front of him, as he was watching so closely. Therefore, she explained each issue clearly and finally asked, "Boss, is that acceptable?"

Xu Si leaned forward and asked, "Does drinking make you happy?"

While she was browsing through the documents, Yue Shan kept gazing at her

However, upon a moment's reflection, she would feel uneasy. What came to her mind were the past events involving her old classmate Xu Si.

Why work so hard? This is not acceptable; it seems that I, as the boss, am being too demanding, making General Jiang run around even on weekends

Before this period, there was both sorrow and loss, with the harm insidiously cutting like a sharp blade, affecting two generations. It is time to bring this to an end

At this moment, one must not lose composure, the world of martial arts urgently reminds oneself

The person beside me must have opened some jar, releasing a fragrant aroma of glutinous rice.

The martial world did not expect that she could have such a significant impact on Xu Si. What should she do next? She hesitated between advancing and retreating

A slight stir occurred within his heart, yet it was quickly restrained. In this moment and scene, should there be even a hint of fanciful thoughts, it would seem disrespectful to the departed elders within the house. Ultimately, he was able to calm his emotions, dispel any fanciful notions, and remain as tranquil as the azure waves. Yet, deep within those azure waves, as profound as the night, he found himself unable to explore.

Xu frowned at that moment and said, "You are quite exaggerated"

Hong Die said: "Those with a resilient heart are the least able to endure betrayal and mistreatment. They are clear about right and wrong, and their attitude inevitably becomes sharp. Jiang Qisheng never suffers losses in his dealings, and neither does his daughter"

He accompanied her for most of the night, yet he did not drive out. She was not ungrateful, but could only awkwardly suggest, "Why don't you stay at my house for the night?"

The rivers and lakes relied on him. After a second, she composed herself. At first, she was at a loss for words and did not know how to speak.

This feeling is too familiar, a certain part of the body undergoes an uncontrollable change, a fundamental and primal transformation, so rapid, so intense, so unabashed.

The next morning, she needs to get up early

She remained silent and simply continued to eat

This time, he drove her car, and they returned to the city together

This time, she wandered a few steps within the ward. A nurse, noticing her, approached and inquired, "Is there a patient named Hailan? Which room number is he in?"

No wonder she often does not return home

The exhibition center is hosting a wedding expo, with couples coming in and out, their sweetness resembling that of conjoined twins

Indeed, it is only to take a look.

Xu Si, however, said: "You are at a disadvantage; some things cannot be forced. Why should you sacrifice yourself to suffer a loss?"

Xu Si recalled a conversation he had with his aunt Hong Die some time ago

During those days, Jianghu was recuperating, but that did not prevent her from issuing a payment voucher, which was forwarded by Yue Shan to Mo Xiangwan, citing the reason as a performance bonus

Xu Si said: "Yes, but I can barely remember what my father looked like; he passed away when I was only five years old"

In the business world, she understands the public relations role of indulgence and extravagance, but she also knows how to arrange for the right people to do the appropriate tasks, allowing herself to avoid being caught in a predicament

"No, no, all my employees are the best employees," Jianghu said

Hong Die Tete asked him: "I heard that you run diligently towards Tengyue."

Xu Si has already entered through the door

Xu Si replied: "It is almost eight o'clock"

Jianghu still insisted on taking a shower, reapplying the medicine before going to bed. Before sleeping, she drank a glass of purified water with two slices of lemon added. She remained herself, slightly recovered, and soon returned to her routine, demonstrating great self-discipline

He can continue to have romantic encounters

Qi Sitian leisurely prepared tea for her, took a sip herself, and then said: "I don't know what happened, but after Gao Yi's mother passed away, he stopped keeping in touch with Teacher Hai. Teacher Hai went to Shenzhen to work in sales to earn money for her mother's treatment, which dragged on for several years, and eventually, her mother passed away. Later, she returned to her hometown to teach and became a teacher at a Hope Primary School. We kept in touch through letters, and it was only when Gao Yi sought her out this time that I learned about these hidden circumstances."

Xu Si let out a sigh, finally suppressing his desires

Perhaps this is the conclusion of everything

Xu Si smiled and said, "What are you doing? Are you ashamed to be seen?" He reached out to move her hand away, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before he laughed again, "What did you see that you shouldn't have?"

Wealth and honor are like the blooming and withering of flowers, is life not just like this? Yet, where does the tranquility and joy come from?

On this day, Xu Siyi left, and the martial world also took a moment to reorganize before stepping out.

Never before has he struggled so hard to navigate a relationship with a single girl, especially since he cannot even ascertain whether he has a one in ten thousand chance of success

Xu Si stood before her, wearing the white shirt and pants she had given him, with a cheerful smile on his face

If this is the beginning of a romance, she could not possibly possess all the advantages she had in previous relationships

How could she not understand? How lonely and helpless can a solitary girl be while walking alone? She thinks she should understand the ways of the world, yet she still says: "Your father will be worried."

The mind remains clouded, yet I insist: "Let us return to Pudong, for there is a meeting tomorrow morning"

He slept on the sofa in the Jiang family's living room at night, and Jiang Qisheng's pajamas were not very fitting, feeling somewhat tight, just like his heart

For him, it was merely a hunt

Even when ill, still so stubborn

Mo Xiangwan replied, "As you wish." She also kindly reminded, "Miss Jiang can use a bit of gold sulfadiazine eye ointment in the evening."

The Jianghu recorded the hotel where Gao Yi got married, and I decided to go and take a look

This action in the jianghu, although somewhat immature and impulsive, has already revealed her swift and sharp style of execution akin to a blade. Such a style carries a masculine generosity, which Xu Si cannot say he particularly admires. Moreover, her attitude is always fluctuating, neither warm nor cold, which makes Xu Si feel a lingering sense of discontent deep within.

Jianghu admitted that she still could not let go. In fact, a few days ago, she saw a nurse pushing Hailan downstairs for an examination, and for some inexplicable reason, she followed along to see which ward she was in.

The rivers and lakes held Xu Si's umbrella, and suddenly she recalled the times when she used to go out with her father, when it was always her father who helped her back the car. She experienced a moment of distraction.

She leaned softly against the sofa and closed her eyes

Xu Si's lips finally parted from those of the world, pouring out all his emotions. It is unknown how long it took, but he finally released her.

Who is that person if not Xu Si

Xu Si gazed at the rivers and lakes, her eyes still filled with doubt, which rendered her expression fragile and perplexed. Her nose was reddened from crying, and her lips resembled cherries after the rain, possessing a moist allure

For oneself, it is a kind of deep and desperate ambiguity

And she, she is in great need of a support. Once her nerves relax even slightly, she cannot help but vent her feelings recklessly. Can she ignore this obvious embarrassment and, using this solid chest, comfort her own drifting and wounded heart?

This is entirely the first time in his life; Xu Si felt exceptionally awkward at this moment, yet he was unwilling to part even for a moment.

At this moment, the world of martial arts inevitably carries a certain disheveledness of awakening, with pajamas not neatly arranged, hair in disarray, and eyes still swollen

Xu Si's aura is wild and domineering, akin to a sudden downpour that catches one off guard, yet the heart of the martial world is well aware that rain is expected today

However, in the world of martial arts, there are always certain reasons behind encounters. The world of martial arts is clear about this

She bid farewell to the rivers and lakes

Xu roughly remembered the direction of the Jiang family. Several years ago, Jiang Qisheng had hosted him and several business partners at his home, but at that time, Xu was busy with his studies and various social events favored by wealthy young ladies, and he did not have the time to attend.

Qi Si nodded in agreement

This is a game of ambiguity, but it begins with an unbearable impulse, proceeds through an unsettling process of mutual speculation, and culminates in an uncertain outcome that may even harbor dangers

Mo Xiangwan suddenly felt a bit shy, "My husband is waiting for me downstairs"

"You are simply—simply—" Qi Sitian choked for a long time, unable to find any suitable words. In the end, she could only sneer, "I must admit you are ruthless. Mo Xiangwan has come to find me before; she helped me a great deal. Out of respect for her, I will not act unreasonably."

After that, he led her to the injection room, which was even more crowded, filled with elderly people and children, and the noise was quite loud. However, Jianghu was unfazed, finding a corner to sit down and calling the nurse over for assistance

Hong Die rolled up the documents in her hand and tapped them on his shoulder, "What are you thinking? Do you think I, your aunt, wouldn't know?"

Hong Die nodded, "So she is different from your previous girlfriends. Those you dated before, when you broke up, it was just a breakup. But in the world of Jianghu—if the two of you can be together, our elders would be very pleased; if not—"

Indeed, the world understands. Her father has passed away, yet she continues to live on, no matter how arduous the journey may be, determined to uphold the esteemed reputation of Jiang Qisheng.

She is not the kind of delicate girl you used to date, those little stars.

She indeed knows everything, in this world of martial arts, who among those who are used to being beaten and thrown around is not a tough character? How could someone as astute as Qi Sitian ultimately be deceived by others?

How could such a person appear at this time and place to be by her side

At this moment, the sky began to rain, and the rivers and lakes did not have an umbrella, so I leaned sideways against the eaves of the reception room at the exhibition center.

He would certainly feel disheartened. She is not very enthusiastic about his pursuit, always displaying an indifferent attitude as if he were optional.

The rivers and lakes are resilient, and Xu Si is confident. The progress made in these past few months is already sufficient to prove everything

In the world of rivers and lakes, one cannot help but feel a sense of emotion arise unexpectedly. I think, Xu Si is indeed considerate; as long as he is willing to be kind to others, he can be more thoughtful than anyone else. She replied, "Please deliver it to my home." Glancing at her watch, she added, "In about four hours."

The world of rivers and lakes is filled with inexplicable astonishment, leaving one stunned in place

Ms. Mo has served in her original company for over 5 years, achieving remarkable work performance and earning a good reputation in both the entertainment and media circles. In every aspect, she meets the needs of the industry, especially as Qi Sitian was able to rapidly rise to the status of a top-tier female star, which is entirely due to Mo Xiangwan's insistence on supporting her in taking on a historical drama despite widespread opposition.

The rivers and lakes glared at him fiercely, but he pretended not to see and ordered another bowl of rice for himself, clearly having quite an appetite

In my childhood, he always called me Little Butterfly, and later he just kept calling me Jianghu

You make it sound as if I am already the best employee

Thus, the Jianghu nodded with closed eyes

The other party left awkwardly, and she finally let out a chuckle, asking: "So you are also here to attend the wedding banquet"

Hong Die said: "In the past, when you changed girlfriends, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, neither your mother nor I were willing to interfere in such matters. But this time—do you really want to pursue the Jianghu?"

Xu Si said: "Don't move. Are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?"

In the lobby of the hospital, a doctor was pushing a wheelchair out of a monitoring room, and a woman was seated in the wheelchair. She called out to Gao Yi. It turned out to be Hai Lan, and at that moment, she was wearing a hospital gown and a mask

In today's world, the only thing that matters is to rebuild oneself with one's own energy

Yet Xu Si merely gazed at her

Qi Sitian is a person who is very flamboyant at times and extremely low-key at others, adept at striking a balance. It is indeed strange for someone like this not to be famous in the entertainment industry

A woman may perhaps never overcome this hurdle of her own.

this romantic encounter

"Jianghu!" he called out, his tone clearly demanding a response from her.

After the meeting concluded, he called Jianghu to stop.

The suffering in the world far exceeds the limits of her imagination, it is overwhelmingly unbearable

As the meeting was coming to a close, Pei Zhiyuan, feeling quite pleased with himself, said, "Hey, I still have to accompany those few dealer gentlemen tonight"

Xu Si felt reassured; this girl knows how to take good care of herself

In the realm of the jianghu, one chuckles and says: "To reach the state of 'laughing heartily at my own laughter', one must go drink wine"

This person's thoughts are difficult to grasp, she shakes her head, deciding not to focus on this matter. Yet, the myriad of intricate details, she understands with a single thought

Jianghu hurriedly turned away to avoid the stranger and wiped away tears with his hand, only to hear Xu Si say to the other party: "We are not interested in the villa wedding, but we are quite interested in the wedding at the hotel across the street"

Two days ago, Jianghu's eyelids were still swollen, and she was reluctant to face Xu Si, pretending not to see him. Since he chose to act blind, if she continued to nitpick, it would only reflect her narrow-mindedness

In fact, there is a phrase carved in small seal script on the top of the purple clay flower pot, with extremely fine lines. The pot has a dark and aged color. At first, she did not notice it, but later she was reminded by the security guard

The river and lake felt it; she sensed the changes in his body due to her proximity, hot and rigid. Yet he did not speak, nor did he move

Since the numerous setbacks, the spirit of the martial world has shown no signs of slackening, always on guard against unforeseen events. Yet, some surprises always strike her heart at moments when she is least prepared, as if her very insides have been violently shaken, leaving her unable to discern whether it is sorrow or pain

The other party replied: "Yes"

The rivers and lakes leaned back further.

The martial world suddenly became a bit agitated, "Yes, that is why I lost my senses at that time and suffered a loss"

The affairs of the world are indeed full of coincidences. On that morning, under the bright sun, she encountered Qi Sitian again on a narrow path, and they exchanged smiles. Now, they are even more inclined to sit down and have a long conversation, candidly sharing a part of their truths.

Suddenly, someone held a black umbrella over her head, shielding her from the increasingly dense raindrops

He wanted to lean down and kiss her, but Jianghu turned his head away.

What Yue Shan said is indeed true; even the father who loves him is not a good person. Since getting to know Xu Si, observing all his actions, how could he possibly be one?

She weakly replied that she wanted to drink porridge, and later, it was unknown what method her father used in the middle of the night, but he managed to prepare a bowl of white porridge, which was sweetened with sugar, and he fed it to her spoonful by spoonful

Cars have been gradually entering the entrance of the hotel across the street, and finally, the wedding car adorned with floral arrangements has appeared, driving into the hotel area under the direction of the hotel security. The route is winding, resembling the shape of a period.

Jianghu called for a pot of Longjing tea and said to Qiqi Sitian: "I have a bit of internal heat, so I have to propose this. You don't mind drinking Longjing, do you?"

In the photograph, Jiang Qisheng's eyes are bright and seem to be gazing at the two women before him, as if he can impart courage to them. They command themselves to think this way.

Qi Sitian said: "Teacher Hai has also been diagnosed with breast cancer, likely due to hereditary factors. She is such a gentle person; it is truly unfair of heaven to treat her this way"

But Xu Si did not let go of his hand

The world is a tragic place, "Indeed, heaven is not necessarily fair"

The two did not speak much along the way, as the pain in the eyes from the hustle and bustle of the world caused a corresponding pain in the throat, and a heavy head led to them falling asleep in the carriage

Xu Si continued to gently pat her with his hand, letting her know that there was always someone by her side

Her lips still carried his breath, and he indeed knew how to silence her words

She still decided to invite Mo Xiangwan over. She hugged Yue Shan's shoulder and said, "I know Aunt Yue will always have my best interests at heart, I will be careful."

Jianghu turned to Yue Shan and said, "Those managers have worked hard and have supported us so much; we should reward them properly."

"Not at all, not at all? Boss Xu kindly brought me an umbrella, and I am immensely grateful." Jianghu hurriedly explained

The world of martial arts naturally commands respect and attention

She turned on the television, slowly finished her porridge and vegetables, and then sent a text message to Xu Si, saying: "The lunch was delicious, thank you"

It is indeed very difficult to adapt

She did not expect someone like Xu Si to have such thoughts; she merely thought that if it were her former self, she would not have had the leisure to visit such a small shop as Xu Si did.

Xu Si thought that he also needed self-discipline

On the second day in the Jianghu, she slept until the sun was high in the sky. This was her home, and she hazily thought her father was still there. Dressed in pajamas, with disheveled hair and bleary eyes, she squinted her right eye and walked out of the room

Xu Si acted as if he had seen nothing, greeted with a "Good morning," and then put away the morning newspaper. He first said, "There is plain congee on the stove, and side dishes on the table." Then he asked, "Do you have to go to work today?"

The rivers and lakes are sharp, and he believes it as well

It is indeed necessary to go to the hospital. After this meeting, Jianghu initially held on with great effort, but two consecutive hours of mental strain made her eyelids increasingly heavy, and her right eye could no longer be opened.

And Qi Sitian continued to speak slowly and leisurely.

She claimed to be a friend of the patient and wanted to inquire about the patient's condition. The nurse checked for her, but of course, based on professional ethics, did not disclose too many details, only mentioning that the patient was scheduled to undergo an oophorectomy in the coming days, and it would be best not to visit frequently to avoid exhausting the patient before the surgery

The world of martial arts is quite difficult, filled with hesitation and reluctance. It turns out that at her age, she is still afraid of getting an injection, and Xu Si chuckles beside her. He said to the doctor: "Let's just go with the IV drip instead."

Xu Si is a person who can organize and enjoy life

Perhaps Mo Xiangwan did not expect the world of martial arts to be so direct and complete in its discourse, and she smiled, saying: "Miss Jiang is too straightforward, unexpectedly asking me nothing at all"

As the scene shifted, a tall figure approached, wearing sunglasses and light makeup, exuding a calm demeanor. She said, "I came to fetch water, how about you?"

Just as he remembered, after savoring it carefully, he was unwilling to let it go just like that

Whether it is out of indifference or intention, the world of martial arts only slightly withdraws after crying from exhaustion, wishing to end this embrace

Yue Shan hoped that she was merely being overly anxious. She gazed at the photograph of Jiang Qisheng, silently praying in her heart, "It is not easy for the rivers and lakes to stand up. If she were to encounter any more difficulties and dangers, may she be spared from facing a bottomless abyss that would shatter her to pieces."

Xu Si said, "You are quite good at self-deprecation"

The meaning of this phrase is not understood in the context of the world of martial arts. When she returned home and checked her emails online, she casually looked up some information. Then, she sat in front of the computer, lost in thought for a long time.

Xu Si looked at her coldly, realizing that only in this world of martial arts could one kiss him and then quickly turn their mind, fabricating every word on the spot, whether true or false, or merely for show. He couldn't help but feel disheartened, hence he sneered, "Always speaking in contradictions, ruining the atmosphere"

For some reason, upon returning home, I find myself unable to sleep throughout the night. Tonight is a sleepless night; perhaps there are others who are immersed in the joy of love

I did not expect Xu Si to say: "Why do you have to calculate and scheme about everything? Isn't it exhausting?"

She asked the security guard to inquire about the price of the purple clay flower pot, which was estimated to be within the range of its value in the community. Xu Si's composure did not exceed her bottom line. He is a formidable opponent

Qi Sitian opened her mouth slightly, filled with astonishment and disbelief, completely unprepared for this moment. After a while, she murmured, "Jianghu, are you a monster? Are you still discussing cooperation with me at this time?"

So be it, so be it, a match against an equal is nothing more than this. In the world, using honesty as a weapon is still a step above in skill. Today, these words have left Qi Sitian with no desire to argue further, and in the end, she can only accept the outcome of the wager.

Upon returning to this large house, his first impression was that it was excessively empty. When he first arrived, the place was hosting a great number of guests, which made the house feel somewhat crowded. Now, with only him and Jianghu present, the moment he opened the door, a chilling atmosphere greeted him, far less cozy and intimate than the small office in the factory where Jianghu was.

With her eyes closed, she swallowed carefully, thinking that perhaps her father was right beside her, gently caring for her. Maybe all the loneliness and desolation would eventually pass, and when she opened her eyes again, she would return to the past, back under her father's wings, no longer a reckless ghost bumping into walls.

The rivers and lakes asked him: "Do you really like this little shop so much?"

She drove to the hotel, and conveniently, there was a Paul branch next to it. Jianghu went in and ordered a cup of coffee, sitting with a newspaper for the entire morning and afternoon, having a business meal and reading through the business and morning reports.

Yue Shan expressed some reservations, stating: "One must always be wary of others. Those who have navigated the capital market are hardly virtuous individuals, nor are they herbivores. Some of the companies invested in by Xu Feng are said to have Xu Si's trusted confidants involved."

She adjusted her seat slightly backward, her whole body slumped over, with her face turned away from him

His determined pursuit did not make her feel comfortable. However, his warm embrace made her long to settle down.

At the end of the day, I will have our lawyer discuss the details with your agent

Xu Si replied to the message after more than an hour, and he kept it very simple, just three words - "You're welcome"

Perhaps illness comes suddenly like a mountain collapsing. Jianghu has been suffering from this illness for over a week, requiring daily visits to the hospital for intravenous therapy. Yue Shan and Pei Zhiyuan both expressed their desire to come and take care of her for a few days, but Jianghu politely declined their offers. During these days, meals have been delivered to her door every day, and she is being well taken care of.

They arrived at the tea house, where Jiang Qisheng and his daughter were regular patrons. The owner usually comes out to personally greet guests, and today, upon seeing even more distinguished guests, he offered the most elegant and secluded private room.

Xu Si did not let go and said, "What meal? I haven't had dinner yet. Everyone has already had a few rounds of drinks, and if I go now, there will be nothing left to eat."

The other party smiled and said, "What brings you here?"

Xu Si did not speak again, asking the nurse for a blanket to cover Jiang Hu. She leaned beside him, resembling a small butterfly resting among the flowers, battered by the wind and rain, in need of quiet recuperation

Xu Si felt a twinge of guilt for not having paid attention to her health earlier, and he said: "Where are your car keys? I will take you to the hospital in the city"

Xu Si's hand paused for a moment, her brows furrowing. It was evident that she licked her lips, her heart gently stirred, and without revealing any emotion, she fed her drink sip by sip until it was finished

Jianghu covered his forehead with his hand

The rivers and lakes also laugh, "I forgot to wear a pair of sunglasses"

He did not even have time to think about covering it up

Yue Shan tilted her head slightly and could see the family portrait of the Jiang family on the TV cabinet, where the young Jiang Qisheng displayed the spirited appearance she was most familiar with

Jiang Hu leaned in again to pour tea for Qi Si Tian, who remained silent

The world of rivers and lakes is filled with laughter, secretly pondering, he is truly a wealthy young man who indulges in superficial elegance

Thus, she wanted to speak, seeking a reasonable explanation to cover up the momentary lapse of composure she had just experienced

Xu Si said, "Come on, it's the middle of the night and you want me to drive across the bridge, I could die from exhaustion"

Qi Sitian drove herself here in a rather ordinary Volvo, which was quite unremarkable

Yue Shan let out a heavy sigh

And the world of rivers and lakes is very fearful. This is a romantic encounter, for her, for him. He can continue to have romantic encounters, but she cannot afford to play this game.

However, Xu Si said: "Wine enters the sorrowful intestines, and sorrow becomes even more sorrowful; women who drink are often unwise"

It seems she has a straightforward personality, well-suited to the industry. She humbly smiled and said, "No, no, our company has never established a marketing department before; this is the first time we are forming a team, and we take it very seriously. Thus, our company is in a state of rebuilding, and our compensation may not be very competitive. However, if there is a surplus at the end of the year, we will allocate 10% to the management as bonuses. Although it is a bit less, I am confident that this percentage will increase year by year. My goal is to sell shoes overseas, not as OEM, but under our own brand."

Jianghu easily obtained information about Mo Xiangwan from former colleagues. When her resume was placed before her, she thought that since Xu Si wanted to help others, the method he chose must be the most appropriate.

This is not the first time Xu Si has attended the Tengyue conference, which has always been characterized by its straightforward and concise style akin to that of the martial arts world

Xu's other hand suddenly wrapped around Jianghu's waist, bringing the two of them tightly together, resembling a close-knit conjoined twin.

The rivers and lakes humorously inquire: "Do you have something to say to me?"

However, things did not go as hoped. It was not until her eyelids had returned to normal that Xu Si felt at ease to tease her, "Congratulations, you no longer have to be a goldfish."

Xu Si does not visit her every day; he comes every other day, usually around six or seven in the evening. Before arriving, he sends her a text message. They have dinner together, engage in casual conversation, most of which revolves around work-related matters, such as the hand-drawn competition and the upcoming shoe expo. After nine-thirty, he takes his leave, demonstrating a sense of propriety.

That bowl of porridge was as fragrant, glutinous, and sweet as she remembered, gently soothing her, alleviating much of the burning pain in her throat. Such tenderness lightly tugged at a certain nerve within her, causing an unbearable ache deep in her heart. She choked back tears, her nose tinged with bitterness, and softly called out, "Dad"

The world of rivers and lakes turns back

What is life like? Some are richer than I, some are taller than I. They laugh at me, and I laugh back at them.

Xu took the opportunity to go out and buy a takeout meal, which was still steaming hot when he brought it back

Qi Sitian took a sip of tea and said, "I only learned some stories at the wedding. Alas—" She sighed softly, "Teacher Hai and Gao Yi have known each other since they were very young."

In the world of rivers and lakes, the phone call is well made, and with silent sighs, Father, in truth, we all owe Aunt Yue a debt of gratitude

The circumstances are different now, and her state of mind has also changed; she is able to let go of everything and savor the experience in detail

He led her to register for the emergency room as if he were guiding a child. There are always many patients in this hospital, and even the late-night emergency room has a long queue of people waiting.

Xu Si said: "Are you here to scout the wedding expo?"

The underworld says: "Old classmate, I will pay you the agency fee as part of your performance."

Before her arrival, Jiang Hu had a phone call with a classmate who works as a headhunter. The classmate was very efficient and had already communicated with Mo Xiangwan. Therefore, Mo Xiangwan was well aware of Jiang Hu's intentions for this meeting and understood her meaning. Thus, the first thing she said to Jiang Hu was, "Miss Jiang, you are being too formal."

Qi Sitian stood up

The river has already risen, and she is sitting alone, huddled with her shoulders against the chair, resting with her eyes closed. Xu Si sat down beside her; she opened her eyes slightly, but her right eye was still difficult to open, so she had no choice but to give up and continue keeping her eyes closed

The world of rivers and lakes awakened in the early morning, her right eye still unable to open. She struggled to open her left eye and looked around. The IV bag contained only a small amount of medication, she was covered with a blanket, and the man beside her was sitting upright reading a newspaper

This is the temper of a young lady that occasionally flares up in the world of Jianghu. When she loses her temper, her eyes become particularly striking in their contrast of black and white, especially at this moment, as they shimmer with glistening tears, almost ready to fall.

Yue Shan said to Pei Zhiyuan: "I will bring over the advance payment shortly." Pei Zhiyuan naturally beamed with joy.

She was not very hungry; instead, Xu Si was quite hungry and ordered a large number of dishes, all of which were the same as those ordered last time

With just this one sentence, the world of martial arts was momentarily stunned, and for some reason, it tightly embraced Xu Si. It turned out that I had been holding back my tears, but in his arms, I completely broke down and cried.

The rivers and lakes have closed their eyes

Xu Si set his thermos aside and gently leaned his arm against Jiang Hu's side. Jiang Hu immediately seized his arm and held it tightly, leaning his entire body closer.

She furrowed her brows

Take a recent incident as an example. He recommended Mo Xiangwan to Tengyue for the position of Marketing Manager, and before she officially took office, under his insinuation, she had already communicated with Qi Sitian. Subsequently, Qi Sitian's agent approached Yue Shan to discuss the details of the endorsement contract

Perhaps at this moment, the only one who truly cares about me is this elder.

In the bustling world, he shook his hand and said to Xu Si beside him: "Yes, seeing other couples in love and families happy, I feel very envious, is that not allowed?"

She glanced at his white pants, the cuffs of which were splattered with quite a bit of mud and water, which indeed detracted from their appearance

But those are merely delusions

The rivers and lakes exist in his heart, silently reminding himself that he saw nothing, he saw absolutely nothing

The world of rivers and lakes responds with both mischief and helplessness, "Right now, apart from being busy, I have nothing else to do."

Xu Si admitted, "Her performance over the past few months has sufficiently proven that she is not, is she not?"

Thus, everything fell into place as easily as she had imagined. Mo Xiangwan was a very approachable person and exhibited a high level of professionalism. She personally saw Mo Xiangwan off, saying: "I sincerely hope you can start working as soon as possible; we have a whole bunch of marketing activities to undertake, and I am almost overwhelmed."

Xu Si thought for a moment, shook his head, "I really don't remember."

Upon hearing this, the martial world was first taken aback. She did not expect that the efficiency of Mo Xiangwan, who had not yet assumed office, would be so high, and the actions so precise. If there were no one behind giving instructions, it would indeed be impossible.

The underworld speaks: "This person originally had some reputation in both the fashion and entertainment circles. When you look for her, make sure to spread a little word. Although Tengyue is a declining old brand, in order to seek development, it still hopes to offer good salaries and benefits to attract some talent."

Xu Si, however, remained calm, stating, "Today there is Ren Bing's ride-sharing service, why should I occupy an extra parking space in the hotel garage?" This led to much speculation in the community.

Thus, the courage to continue on in the world soon restored her vitality. Physically, she completed the intravenous drip treatment, and the swelling had mostly subsided, the fever had also receded. However, her cheeks remained pale, presenting a weak appearance typical of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness

Not everything in the world can be as she wishes; there are too many people, events, and things that she cannot grasp. Consequently, her shoulders have grown weak. This is her loss of composure

Jianghu rubbed his right eyelid and only then realized that his eyes felt dry. Having been busy since early morning, he had not noticed it until now, and there were indeed signs of swelling. He could only shrug helplessly and said, "I have been really busy lately; it seems I won't be able to see anyone for many days. I'll ask the security guard to help you call a car."

In recent days, he has generally taken his leave immediately after dining at the Jiang family, and he has also shown less interest in lingering and engaging in playful banter

The rivers and lakes unexpectedly turned red with embarrassment

The world of rivers and lakes is hazy and unclear, having sneezed a few times, I find myself somewhat disoriented

At first, Jianghu was taken aback, instinctively wanting to retreat, but was held tightly by him, and the two were once again pressed closely together

In the world of rivers and lakes, he twirled a signature pen at his fingertips, fell silent for a moment, and then said: "I have been in love before, but it felt like it was in the past, and we could no longer be together, so we parted ways. Let it take its natural course."

The rivers and lakes have instead become a source of relief. She said to Qi Sitian: "I understand. Sometimes I think back to when you old classmates always said I resembled Guo Fu. Guo Fu was fortunate; at least in the end, she met a good person, Ye Lue Qi. Not everyone is as fortunate as she is."

A banner is worth more than a thousand gold pieces, yet there are still things that cannot be obtained. Wealth and honor are merely like the blooming and withering of flowers; what is truly rare is tranquility. One can only mix all sadness, lamentation, doubt, and regret into a sense of melancholy, settling deep within the heart

Perhaps it is truly irresistible, at least she is not the only one left in this place

The grievances in the martial world have never been clearly defined in black and white; one should not be overly constrained by them, thus bringing about so much discomfort to oneself

After taking a look in the mirror, Jianghu noticed that even after the swelling of her eyelids had subsided, there were still red marks remaining, which were still unsightly. She then spoke with irritation, saying, "Well, I don't even need to apply any eyeshadow now"

She yearns in this way, yearning under the oppression of painful death, so clearly, urging her to seek that one thread of support that she can firmly grasp

Jianghu leaned against the door after changing his shoes, took a breath by the shoe cabinet, and then remembered that Xu Si was still standing outside the door

It is merely work

During those few days, Jianghu was in a state of deep melancholy. When Xu Silai accompanied her for dinner, both of them ate in silence. Noticing her depression and lack of cheer, he refrained from further questioning her and certainly did not dare to engage her in conversation recklessly

However, what the world did not expect was that she unexpectedly saw Gao Yi, who was supposed to be on his honeymoon, when she left the hospital

Xu Si cast a calm glance at the rivers and lakes. As far as he knew, ever since Liu Jun left, the sales operations of Tengyue had been personally managed by her. When did she allow her uncle to intervene?

Xu Si clasped his fists and said, "My skills are limited, yet you are truly remarkable."

He said: "Open your mouth"

However, every step of her progress and every stage of her advancement has garnered the attention of a man named Xu Si. With this special attention, she is able to soar to new heights in every aspect.

However, she cannot afford to play.

The world of rivers and lakes only has to say: "Boss Xu, so this is how you pursue girls."

The rivers and lakes were suddenly startled, and they looked up at this man.

Upon careful consideration, there is indeed a rationale behind it

Yue Shan helplessly said, "If you approach love with this mindset, you will not be able to have a successful relationship"

In this matter, she thought, or pretended to be an ostrich, burying her head in the sand, no longer wanting to face such a difficult opponent as Xu Si, treating the current situation as a common experience from her past ordinary life, and just dealing with it.

He turned over, steadied his body, and told himself to sleep well this time, without indulging in any more wild thoughts

Xu Si watched as she locked the door to Jiang Qisheng's room again, knowing that it was a source of her heartache, as she was so unwilling to be reminded of him. He took the nightgown, averted his gaze, and saw the photo of the Jiang family on the TV cabinet, saying, "You look very much like your father"

Qi Sitian replied: "If I don't tell you, you would probably ask other classmates. Since we have encountered each other, I thought I might as well have a chat with you."

Very well, very well, Jianghu gently wrapped his arms around Xu Si's waist and closed his eyes. With eyes shut and ears blocked, he chose to quietly enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Xu stated frankly: "I quite like her"

Qi Sitian said: "I have come to visit you in the hospital"

The other party naturally comes to realize, "I understand what you mean, you can rest assured!"

However, it was the first time she learned that his villa in Pudong was actually not far from the Tengyue factory, and she had even swum in the clubhouse of the villa area

Has he not always possessed the advantage of being fortunate since birth? The awkwardness he felt just now in a moment of emotional impulse is nowhere to be seen at this very moment. His outwardly apparent and unabashed shrewdness gives him a sharp attitude in whatever he says or does, exuding a natural and unpretentious openness.

Xu Si could no longer bear to say anything further, and he gently remarked: "You truly need to get a good twenty-four hours of sleep, do not overthink, and do not create troubles for yourself."

Mo Xiangwan was naturally surprised and spoke to her husband. Later, Mo Bei joked with Xu Si, "The new boss you introduced to my wife is known for his decisive management style and clear rewards and punishments"

He knew what he wanted to do; he just slightly bent down again. Her breath carried the unique, rustic, and rich sweetness of French whole wheat bread. It had been a long time since he had eaten bread, and he realized that such a fragrance had a fatal attraction for him. ... He wondered if he needed to ask the chef of Cee Club to specially prepare a similar dish for him ...

In the darkness, his eyes were bright, gazing at her with intense focus, compelling her to meet his gaze, yet she could not discern the meaning hidden in the depths of his eyes

She no longer moved, only holding onto his arm, as if maintaining this posture could provide her with stability and safety, and she would never let go.

However, when she held Xu Si, he felt a tremor brought about by the proximity of the opposite sex. Moreover, this was the fragrant warmth of the soft body of the woman he instinctively cherished.

Her drowsy appearance is actually much cuter than usual, and she foolishly asks him: "What time is it now?"

She gazed at the elegantly blossoming Echinodorus, which had already bloomed. The flowers were ostentatious and overbearing, overshadowing all other colors in the room, rendering the small cactus on the windowsill dull and lifeless. She had invited the security guard, who was knowledgeable about flowers, to take care of this Echinodorus, and he diligently tended to it, ensuring it thrived.

Jianghu served tea to Yue Shan and also cut some fruit. Yue Shan took out the various documents related to official business from the past week and asked her to review and sign them.

The rivers and lakes stood up, wanting to send off the guest, but the esteemed guest remained still. After carefully examining her face, he said: "You need to go to the hospital"

I will take you home

Someone approached from behind to sell, "Sir, Miss, we are the garden villa in Ruijin Hotel, suitable for holding very romantic outdoor weddings, and we also offer a complimentary wedding suite, which is provided for two days!"

Jianghu received a reply from Mo Xiangwan and arranged a rather formal interview. The other party arrived on time, dressed in a professional suit, with understated makeup and a composed demeanor, indicating that she took this interview seriously

But this is also a wonderful coincidence, no wonder Qi Sitian is so exasperated. The opportunity bestowed by heaven will not be missed in the world of Jianghu. She smiled slightly and clinked her teacup with Qi Sitian's, saying, "I look forward to our fruitful cooperation"

Xu Si had many thoughts; however, before he could react, he had already kissed the lips of the rivers and lakes

The rivers and lakes know that their sickly appearance is not suitable for public view, yet they must face him early in the morning. However, there is no way to avoid it, so she can only awkwardly say: "I won't go, I will communicate with them via MSN at home."

With lowered eyelids, the rivers and lakes remain silent, "I have always had this sincerity; otherwise, I would not have invited you for tea"

The tides of the rivers and lakes rise and fall, yet she would never reveal her feelings in front of Qi Sitian. However, as Qi Sitian recounts the past, these experiences fill the gaps she was unaware of. The world of others, their suffering, suddenly becomes something she can comprehend, and then she empathizes with them, leading to an overwhelming pain that is hard to suppress

The rivers and lakes have long been silent

Her hand weakly rested against Xu Si's chest. There was dampness on his chest, the tears she had just shed. Her hair had grown a bit longer, cascading down her shoulders. She lowered her head, allowing her hair to obscure her features. This seemed like a form of protection, preventing others from easily intruding.

In the midst of the bustling world, he stifled a yawn halfway, and suddenly noticed him at ease. It was then that he recalled everything from the previous night, unexpectedly feeling a bit shy, he withdrew his hands and tidied his hair.

His words were laden with meaning, a subtle smile in the world of Jianghu. She said, "Indeed, it is precisely because there are so many large and expensive shops around here that the small shops appear so precious, isn't it?"

The rivers and lakes say: "There are many things we cannot grasp and control, and I feel very regretful. I only hope that from now on, everyone can seek benevolence and attain benevolence. I still sincerely hope to cooperate with you."

Jianghu developed a high fever of 38.9 degrees Celsius, accompanied by tonsillitis and also suffering from a stye. The doctor prescribed medication and asked her whether she preferred an injection or an intravenous drip

A small piece of the green leaves of the lotus flower was crushed in the palm of the hand

She often mimics her father's smile, and thus she truly smiles. In her heart, she silently recites, "Dad, I do not know whether this choice is right or wrong, whether it is strength or weakness; please bless me with the courage to keep moving forward!"

The heart of the rivers and lakes has grown weak

She is so fond of beauty that when he spoke to her earlier, she kept her head down, not wanting him to see her unattractive appearance. Once she got into the car, she turned her head away, also facing the window.

Qisi Tian poured a cup of tea for Jianghu and said, "You are thoughtful." She cleared her throat and asked, "What happened to Teacher Hai?"

Jianghu paused the action of twirling the pen, propped his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and then said: "I believe that having someone by your side for companionship is indeed a wonderful feeling"

Jianghu passed Mo Xiangwan's resume to a classmate who works as a headhunter. The other party was surprised, "You don't mean for me to step in and help you recruit this person, do you?"

How much love is required to love everything about a person, even their possessions? In the world of rivers and lakes, perhaps I will never be able to comprehend this in my lifetime

Xu Si called a taxi to take her to the hospital before returning to the office. As he was leaving, he reminded her, "Should I have lunch delivered to the hospital or to your home"

Yue Shan's eyes could not help but become moist

But she still calmly asked Qi Sitian: "What happened next?"

Xu Si's profile bears a resemblance to his father's, always able to adapt to various occasions with the most dignified posture, never failing to show courtesy

She escorted him to the entrance of the villa, and just as she was about to urge Xu Si to get out of the car and leave, Xu Si leaned over, causing her to instinctively take a step back.

Thinking in this way, I felt a chill in my heart

Xu Si spoke in a tone that seemed to convey a lesson: "It is quite insightful." It is unclear whether this is a compliment or a form of sarcasm

Xu Si extended his other hand to gently pat her back and asked, "Jianghu, what does your father usually call you?"

How could she think of so many people and so many matters in just one night? The world of rivers and lakes has turned upside down, forcing herself to fall asleep

Xu Si sat casually on the sofa in the living room, reading the morning newspaper

On that day, after he finished his meal, he did not stay long before taking his leave. After a while, Yue Shan came to visit Jiang Hu, and as soon as he entered, he asked: "I saw Xu Si at the entrance of your building."

Xu sighed and shook his head, "It's a pity your eyes are swollen like little buns." Before she could kick him, he embraced her, "Save your strength and take good care of your health"

Xu Si's mood should be quite good, having ordered a bowl of century egg and lean meat congee, which he enjoyed very much, indicating that he was hungry. He also said: "The owner here has opened shops all around in a circle, not expanding to other places, nor opening too many. Is it a wise choice to do the right thing in the right place?"

After the passing of my mother, my father did not remarry, but that does not mean that there would be no women appearing in his life to bring some variety. For my father, and for Xu Si, perhaps a relationship is merely a form of entertainment in life, a way to relieve the tension of the spirit

She did not want to admit that his embrace last night was like a father's embrace, and for a moment she was in a daze, her longing surged like a tide, irresistible, thus she wanted to possess more in order to reminisce more

This should be an ending, yet the preceding events were so tragic. The death of Gao Yi's father, Gao's mother's car accident, the sudden passing of her own father, the indistinguishable debts and credits between her and Gao Yi, and the hardships she faced after her father's death

Her proud demeanor resembled that of a little girl who had just eaten sweet candy, and that charming innocence returned. Although her eyes were swollen, and even half of her face was puffy, Xu Si found the current atmosphere of the Jianghu to be even more youthful and endearing.

As a result, Jianghu was once again forcibly taken by Xu Si to have dinner at Bodo Xinjiji.

A question mark was drawn on the face of the Jianghu

On that day, there were not many people in the Hakata Shinki, yet they still chose the small table they had sat at last time

Suddenly clenching his fist, Jianghu argued with Xu Si: "What does it mean to take advantage of oneself? Isn't that just letting you benefit? Why are you still talking so much nonsense!"

There is absolutely no way to drink the tea brewed by Qi Sitian; it is exceptionally bitter and simply impossible to swallow. She asked: "She—won't she also get breast cancer?"

The world of rivers and lakes is shrouded in darkness, with thoughts drifting in and out of clarity, memories appearing and disappearing. This situation is strikingly similar to when she was very young, when she suddenly fell ill. Her father carried her to the hospital in the middle of the night, and she nestled in his arms, crying and throwing a tantrum. Her father comforted her, asking what she wanted to eat

As she turned back home, the property manager on the first floor called out to her with a beaming smile, saying: "Miss Jiang, someone has delivered a takeout for you"

It turns out that this man resembles his father in this aspect as well

Xu Si said: "The explanation is very detailed, he is a good employee"

Jianghu smiled and suddenly asked the other party, "Is tomorrow Gao Yi's wedding?"

Xu Si is precisely this kind of person; he must always hold the initiative in matters of romantic relationships. His words may be few, but they will certainly leave her feeling helpless.

In her heart

The heart of the rivers and lakes knows. After she finished signing all the documents, she looked up at Yue Shan and said, "I will probably be in a relationship with Xu Si."

She had no choice but to brazenly go along with the words that he would definitely not believe, "Yes, isn't it to go to Japan for the shoe fair!"

How could it be Xu Si? How could it possibly be him?

Qi Sitian was slightly taken aback. This was an unexpected response from the world of martial arts. There was no excitement, no evasion; it was simply stated in an ordinary tone, leaving her unable to grasp any leverage or discern her emotions

Upon seeing his pants and recalling his reaction, the atmosphere in the community became awkward

She raised her head and scrutinized Qi Sitian. Her eyes were still swollen, so she might not be able to see clearly. The Qi Sitian before her had a composed expression, neither sad nor happy. On screen, she always portrayed proud princesses or loud young ladies, but in reality, she could be so meticulous, handling every gesture and movement with calmness. Whatever she said, whatever attitude she displayed, it all seemed so grand and dignified.

As Jianghu opened her eyes, she saw the worry etched on Yue Shan's face. She also turned to look at her father's photograph

During the infusion process, Jiang Hu made a phone call to Yue Shan and others to discuss official matters. Upon hearing that she was ill, Yue Shan became very anxious, while Jiang Hu instead comforted this elder.

The rivers and lakes lie in the room next door, having slept through this night, her condition should improve somewhat. Tomorrow she still needs to go for her IV drip on time, and he must remind her in the morning

Jiang Hu's right eyelid began to itch again, and she scratched it with her hand. Xu Si had already approached her, and Jiang Hu instinctively raised her hand to shield her face, turning it away.

Perhaps she had been lonely for too long, which is why she was so weak. She did not struggle to break free from Xu Si's embrace.

He was unwilling to think any further, took out the frame from the hands of the rivers and lakes, and said: "You should rest early, I can manage by myself."

Xu Si interrupted Hong Die's words, "Aunt, are you perhaps overthinking it?"

Xu Si said: "Although this is a Chaozhou cuisine restaurant, it has the feeling of an old alleyway eatery."

The rivers and lakes nodded vigorously

And what is love? She rests her chin on her hand, constantly thinking, yet also wanting to forget; that person should ideally be herself. Only a devoted partner, together experiencing the trials and tribulations of life.

The rivers and lakes behind him clenched their fists and waved them.

She could not understand the small seal script, so she copied it down to ask a knowledgeable friend. The friend told her that it reads: "To gain leisure, live quickly; the sun and moon seem to pass by; wealth and honor are like flowers blooming and withering"

What kind of scenery is it that captivates? Recalling the scenery from just now, the rivers and lakes suddenly flush with color. She hesitantly said: "You are going to attend a wedding, I am going home to eat and sleep." After speaking, she tugged at her hand.

The world of rivers and lakes has become awkward, for Xu Si has fallen silent. Perhaps he finds her too hypocritical, or perhaps he considers her topics to be quite dull
