Chapter 175 Exchange of Interests
The slight derailment from modern society was expected by several people. A day passed with mixed emotions. In the eyes of the club members, the reason for Qiao Shinian's poor mental state might be his determination to compete with the Street Dance Club.
After all, they hardly participated in the choreography process, but Qiao Shinian had already danced several dances. I guess she must have rehearsed them hard during the last few days of summer vacation.
The dance of the street dance club is more in line with modern aesthetics. The three words "cool and explosive" are very popular among young people. Although classical dance is beautiful, it is not as quick as street dance to warm up the audience.
When the busy day ended, Qiao Shinian was actually a little reluctant to leave.
She couldn't tell whether she was reluctant to leave these classmates with whom she had just become familiar, the more youthful and vibrant campus, or the modern life that was not going well for her.
When Qiao Shinian fell asleep again, the supplies he brought with him were much richer than before.
An Tian, Mo Feibai and her parents gave different analyses, but they all agreed that this was something worth trying.
Everyone had different opinions, but the preparations for this time were just as cautious and serious as before.
As the darkness was replaced by light, the day of Zhou Kingdom began.
Zhou Dynasty Palace
"Sister." Staying in bed in the palace has become a habit, but today it was not Mu Qingchen who woke her up, but a long-lost voice.
"Sleep a little longer." Qiao Shinian squinted her eyes with difficulty to look at Wen Jiu who came in front of her.
"We want to kill Princess Yu'an."
Qiao Shinian's sleepiness disappeared immediately. She turned her head and blinked at Wen Jiu who was so close to her.
Looking closely, Wen Jiu's eyes were more lively than before, and her cheeks were not as delicate as when she was here before. She saw calculation on this still childish face.
A feeling of uneasiness passed through her heart. She hadn't seen this kind of look in a long time. "What's wrong?"
"You don't want to kill her anymore? Is it because you've been out of the palace for too long that you no longer hate her?" Wen Jiu stood up slightly and supported his head with one hand, looking at Qiao Shinian, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, "It's because Mu Qingchen is here, so you don't need to be afraid of her."
Wen Jiu had grown taller than before. When he tilted his head to look at her, Qiao Shinian realized that the distance between them was a little close, so she couldn't help but move back.
"I guess so." Qiao Shinian nodded and whispered, "At that time, I really wanted her to disappear, but after being away for a long time, I felt as if I had no intersection with her and no longer needed to be afraid of or hate her."
"But I want to kill her." Wen Jiu was dissatisfied with Qiao Shinian's retreat. He stood up and sat cross-legged. He reached out to pull Qiao Shinian's hand. "There are many people who hate her. She is erratic and domineering and has offended many people."
"For example?" Qiao Shinian also stood up. She pulled out her hand and said angrily, "Don't pull me. It's hot."
"But doesn't Mu Qingchen often hold your hand?" Wen Jiu lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes, "Does it mean that you don't plan to care about me anymore after you fall in love with him? Sister, don't like him, he is not suitable for you."
"No!" Qiao Shinian reached out and touched Wen Jiu's head. "We are the best friends in the world. How could I ignore you because of him? You should be happy. Look, you have a powerful brother-in-law to protect you. How great!"
"I don't want it." Wen Jiu still lowered his head, and he said slowly: "Princess Mu Rong made a deal with me before she left. She said that after she has established a foothold in Chu Wen Kingdom, she will help us after we return. The premise of cooperation is to kill Mu Fuyue.
The sincerity she showed was that she would become my father's concubine, and when we returned, she would stand on our side. "
"Congratulations on having a new stepmother." Qiao Shinian's mouth twitched. "This will give her a basis for cooperating with us."
As she was talking, she suddenly realized that the things she brought had been placed on the table not far away by Wen Jiu. She couldn't help but blush as she went to pick them up: "Give the cucumber seeds to Zhou Guo, and hide the rest."
"Sister, what's in this small box with strange symbols?" Wen Jiu walked to Qiao Shinian and picked it up and shook it.
Qiao Shinian quickly snatched it away and said with a red face, "You are still young, there are some things that are inconvenient to tell you."
"Tell me, I want to know." Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian's abnormal appearance and became more curious. He guessed that this might be the sanitary napkins that Qiao Shinian complained about in their era every time she had her period.
"Oh, don't ask." Qiao Shinian's cheeks flushed, she wanted to hide it, but Wen Jiu snatched it away to see.
"If you don't tell me, I'll read it myself." Wen Jiu raised the box in his hand, leaned forward slightly and approached Qiao Shinian and said proudly, "Sister, don't forget that I inherited your legacy and learned your writing."
Wen Jiu then began to read carefully: "Ultra-thin... What is this symbol? Natural latex..."
He did not read the rest of the words aloud, but just stared at the box in his hand in silence. After a long silence, he spoke with difficulty: "Sister..."
He didn't know what to say. He should have been prepared for it long ago, but at this moment when he was completely sure of it, he was speechless.
"You...he's not bad, he looks like a decent person, he has the power to protect you, he's also very good to me, he has a good temperament, he's a good person, and he's loyal." Wen Jiu said softly, then thought for a moment and said, "Sister, we agreed that the two of us are the best in the world. In this world, he can only be second best to you in your heart."
"Of course." Qiao Shinian took the things he would need in the future from Wen Jiu's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, we are bound by fate."
"Yes!" When Wen Jiu looked up, his eyes sparkled, like a child who had received a satisfactory answer, "My birthday is in two days. Don't forget it. I know that you made a tassel for Mu Qingchen on his birthday a few days ago."
"This is your birthday present." Qiao Shinian picked up the wrapped gold nugget, "This is the golden mooncake I bought especially for you! Isn't it beautiful?!"
"I want Suizi too, no matter what!" Wen Jiu held Qiao Shinian's hand tightly, acting like a spoiled child asking for candy.
"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get back." Qiao Shinian replied.
When she returned to the palace, Qiao Shinian had nothing in her hands, because this time there were people around Emperor Zhou waiting outside the palace for Wen Jiu to hand over the things, and she was searched again when she went out.
After Qiao Shinian left, Wen Jiu's childish side disappeared without a trace in an instant, like a candle being blown out.
He raised his head and stared at the beam, then punched the table. Suddenly, a hole appeared on the table. The teacup was tilted by the force and fell to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.
When Yue Yu and the others heard the noise and came in to pack up, they saw Wen Jiu sitting on the bed like a lost soul, holding the clothes that Qiao Shinian had worn, with bloodshot eyes.
Wen Jiu just felt uncomfortable breathing. He didn't understand why Qiao Shinian fell in love with Mu Qingchen.
No, maybe he understood.
During that time, Qiao Shinian painted Mu Qingchen as if he was possessed. At that time, he didn't understand what love was, he just felt that Qiao Shinian was dazzled by Mu Qingchen.
Later, Qiao Shinian seemed to have lost interest in Mu Qingchen, and he had no reaction, just thinking that this was how it should be.
Before, he was just dependent on Qiao Shinian. After all, how many people can see someone from another world?
What's more, Qiao Shinian is such a silly person from another world, her simplicity, foolishness and kindness make her a good companion.
She was a great help to him. At least for a while, she kept him from feeling so hopeless while fleeing from famine. At least she accompanied him through the years of living under someone else's roof in the Zhou Palace. At least she gave him something to think about.
But that time, Qiao Shinian protected him behind him, and faced the beast with his back to back. The reckless and fearless spirit fascinated him. It was a very strange feeling, which was hard to explain. He just felt an indescribable sense of beauty that made him unable to extricate himself.
Later, as time passed, the wonderful feeling gradually disappeared.
But when he saw Qiao Shinian and Mu Qingchen being inseparable during an outing, this feeling came up again. Unlike the positive emotions before, this time he felt negative emotions.
He looked at his height and age, then at Mu Qingchen, and a feeling of powerlessness came over him.
Now, he knew what was going to happen between Qiao Shinian and Mu Qingchen, and he could only act as if he was the same as before, knowing nothing and just thinking that it was profitable.
It was just the unwillingness in his heart that blocked his breathing and disturbed his emotions.
No matter how unwilling he is, he can only pretend that he understands nothing. He is still young, he is still... young. No matter what he does, it will be useless. No matter what he does, he will only be treated as a child.
