Chapter 7, Adjustment Major

Nanxi was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment rising to her face

Ji Chenyang shook his head: "Old Sheng initially developed Qiyun Villa with the intention of creating a secluded environment, where everything is available in the resort, except for computers and televisions."

A string of curses escaped from Xiao Xian's mouth, and after cursing, she smiled apologetically at Fu Ba and Nan Ma, saying, "I apologize, my subordinates are all a bunch of men, and it's unavoidable to curse."

Nanxi nodded and let out a sound of acknowledgment

Fu Qingquan smiled and said: "That area of the bamboo path at Yunqi is quite familiar to you, the old Sheng's Qiyun Manor."

Sister Yang kept talking about how long or short Xiao Xian was, and Nanxi suddenly felt a pang in her heart, unable to articulate her own feelings. Xiao Xian... has she returned?

In a moment of distraction, I heard Ji Chenyang ask: "Closed development, where?"

Ji Chenyang smiled proudly, and Nanxi understood that she had taken the bait, yet she was genuinely anxious about the answer to the question, staring at him intently. Only then did Ji Chenyang chuckle and say: "I heard from your brother that since you started university, you two have rarely met, and your relationship has become somewhat estranged. I am afraid that my close relationship with your brother might actually annoy you."

Why is it at this moment? ... How much has it changed? ... What can Xiao Xian become?

Is there any extra credit for answering correctly

Nanxi was lost in thought for a long time, and only when Ji Chenyang repeated the question did she suddenly come to her senses, hurriedly smiling and saying: "My brother's confidante, don't speak carelessly, or you might end up with a broken leg"

Xiao Xian has indeed changed a lot. Nanxi remembers when Xiao Xian was in high school, she mingled among a group of boys to play matches with the football team from Xuejun High School, and no one realized she was a girl. Afterward, Fu Qingquan told Nanxi, "You won't believe it, the captain of the Xuejun High School team came to ask me, saying, 'What is the name of your short goalkeeper? A girl from our class asked me for her contact information!' I laughed so hard. If Xianbao were to act in a historical drama disguised as a man, she wouldn't even need to bind her chest, hahahahaha..."

Nanxi carefully observed Ji Chenyang's expression and felt that his words were quite candid. Suddenly, she finally realized that Fu Qingquan had deceived her once again

"It's quite difficult to answer," Ji Chenyang said with a friendly smile. "Under normal circumstances, I should say it's very good, but right now..."

Nanxi thought to herself that Fu Qingquan never returned home on time; even when he was late, he often ate out before coming back. She wondered who Yang Sao was cooking for today. Before she could ask, Yang Sao smiled and said, "Guess who has come?" Without waiting for her to answer, Yang Sao quickly replied, "It's Xiao Xian! It's been several years since we last met, and he has changed a lot..."

After a long silence, the two individuals spoke simultaneously, unable to contain their laughter. Ji Chenyang chuckled and said, "You go first."

Soon, Nanxi would understand what Sister Yang meant by a "great transformation". She led Ji Chenyang upstairs, where the living room on the second floor was filled with laughter and joy, with the center of attention naturally being Xiao Xian, who had undergone a "great transformation".

Nanxi found it amusing to think about it again. Fu Qingquan, under the pressure from her parents, had to introduce a boyfriend for her, and naturally, she could not choose someone of too low a status, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to her parents. In the eyes of Fu's father and Nan's mother, Ji Chenyang's identity and status were undoubtedly the best choice, but for Fu Qingquan, it might not be so agreeable. Would he be willing to easily let her go and help her find a suitable husband again?

"How is it now?" Nanxi asked nervously, leaning in.

Nanxi stood frozen at the stairway for a long time, not daring to move. It was only when Father Fu saw Jichen Yang greet him that Nanxi came to her senses, still staring intently at Xiao Xian: "Xian... Xianbao?"

"This is my current partner, Guangnian Electronics. Has your brother mentioned it to you?"

Xiao Xian, nicknamed Xianbao, is the childhood friend of Fu Qingquan, known in contemporary terms as a "fellow childhood friend" or a confidante. There are numerous descriptors like this, all varied and abundant. She has a somewhat boyish appearance, with neatly cropped hair just an inch long and a slender, tall figure. She has known Fu Qingquan since they wore split-crotch pants, and they have been classmates from elementary school through middle school to high school. They narrowly missed attending the same university during the college entrance examination, yet they still reside in the same city.

You and my brother

Upon returning home, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Sister Yang busy in the kitchen. Nanxi was surprised, and Sister Yang looked up upon seeing her return and said with a smile: "Oh, you all just happened to come back at this time. Have you eaten? If not, I will prepare something for you."

Xiao Xian turned her head with a smile and said to Fu Qingquan: "Why is it that every time I come back, everyone who knows me reacts this way?"

It is indeed foolish of me to say this; how many years have you known Fu Qingquan, and are you still unaware of his character? Naturally, the good things he says cannot be taken seriously, so how can the strange things he says be taken seriously? Nanxi secretly pondered that she had known Ji Chenyang for some time as well. If one were to say that all his words and actions were merely pretenses, then he would deserve an Oscar for his superb acting skills.

She glanced at Fu Qingquan beside her and said, "You know it's frightening, right? I can't even dare to sleep tonight, afraid of having nightmares"

Because he has known Xiao Xian for more than twenty years, yet he was unable to gain an advantage in their relationship, the two went their separate ways after graduation, one to the south and the other to the north. By the time Nanxi graduated, he unexpectedly heard the news of Xiao Xian's marriage

Your brother

Nanxi fundamentally did not believe that Fu Qingquan and Xiao Xian were merely friends, and in this regard, she felt a bit of sympathy for Fu Qingquan

Ji Chenyang was quite surprised and turned to the side, quietly asking: "When did your brother become friends with this person? So peculiar..."

However, what necessity does Ji Chenyang have to expend such effort to assist Fu Qingquan

No wonder that every time Fu Qingquan hears Fu Ban and Nan Ma mention Xiao Xian, his expression becomes as stiff as if he had facial paralysis, feeling as if the grass by his nest has suddenly been eaten by someone else, how uncomfortable must that be

She is constantly on guard against Ji Chenyang, making it naturally difficult to achieve any results. As a result, not only do her parents have nothing to say, but she also adds another charge against herself: a great talent is right in front of you, yet it is you who fails to seize the opportunity

Thus, with just a few words, he managed to provoke the relationship between her and Ji Chenyang to its lowest point

My senior at NYU and your brother are alumni of the same university

What Nanxi saw now was the standard image of an urban professional woman as depicted on television: a well-fitted business suit, with her recently changed seven-inch high heels placed at the entrance. Her once unruly hair was now neatly styled, making her look as if she had undergone a complete transformation. Nanxi's gaze shifted from Xiao Xian to Fu Qingquan's face, trying to discern something from his expression, though she herself was unclear about what she was hoping to find. Was it amazement or admiration? As this thought crossed her mind, she felt a slight pang in her heart. Fortunately, Fu Qingquan was merely introducing Xiao Xian to Ji Chenyang in his usual calm tone. ... Nanxi sat down quietly to listen. It turned out that she had switched jobs to a supposedly very popular internet company, and she had now become a director, managing thirty to forty people...

Joke

Nanxi pressed her lips tightly together, her eyes slightly lowered. After a moment of silence, she finally smiled and said, "As for the major in adjustment, I don't even know what I have learned."

Ji Chenyang's experience and knowledge are undoubtedly superior, yet when it comes to cunning schemes, he may not compare to Fu Qingquan. Fu Qingquan claimed that Ji Chenyang was brought in to perform for his parents, but upon reflection, it seems that this may not be the case. Nanxi pondered carefully and was suddenly struck with realization, almost falling into Fu Qingquan's trap again

This is what is known as "evil begets evil," haha, haha. Nanxi couldn't help but laugh triumphantly a couple of times.

Ha ha, ha ha, serves you right, serves you right

Are you ... ... very close to my brother

Having understood this layer, when she felt the earnest gaze from Ji Chenyang, Nanxi suddenly found herself at a loss as to what to do

Xiao Xian has married quite well, with the wedding held at the famous Xishiku Church in Beijing. There are even gossip posts online detailing the luxury cars that attended the ceremony. Nanxi has seen those posts, and the scene was indeed quite extravagant, dazzling to the point that she could only describe her feelings as shock

This time, Ji Chenyang let out a sound, and the topic fell silent again. Nanxi vaguely felt that something was amiss, yet she could not articulate why.

As soon as he heard that Ji Chenyang was familiar, Xiao Xian immediately leaned over and asked: "You know him well, could you help me ask if there really is no place to access the internet at Qiyun Manor?"

There may be, but I don't really remember these

Ji Chenyang secretly regretted his words; neither an apology nor continuing the topic seemed appropriate. However, he heard Nanxi ask, "How do you know... my brother?"

It turns out that Ji Chenyang's earnest demeanor could still be attributed to the influence of Fu Qingquan, but now it seems that this is not the case at all ... Her heart, which had just been filled with anger, suddenly became perplexed again
