Chapter 123: Encounter with a Love Rival

  Xiang Hong walked into the closet and stood in front of her own wardrobe, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

  In the fantasy of childhood, every time school starts, she always stands in front of the closet looking for clothes to wear. Every time is full of worries and every time secretly makes a decision - when I grow up, I will buy a whole closet full of clothes, best if it's overflowing, so that with just one grab, I can get a beautiful and dazzling outfit.

  It's strange, now facing this full closet of clothes, she actually felt some anxiety, the anxiety of not having clothes to wear before school started came flooding back.

  Standing in front of the wardrobe, step by step forward, fingers one by one, looking at each piece.

  She casually pulled out the clothes she had chosen and hung them on the model stand behind her, went through them one by one, turned around to look, but picked out seven or eight pieces of clothing. She looked at each one carefully, adjusted the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, and began to try them on one by one.

  She scrutinized the stranger in the mirror, and found that a change of clothes made her almost unrecognizable.

  Deep green woolen coat, European and American style, simple lines, she looks very fond of it. Black rabbit hair collar inside, sweater down to the buttocks, accompanied by loose camouflage pants. Left and right look, except for ridiculous, can't think of other decorative words. She ran back to her room in a daze, found out the black tight-fitting pants she had worn before, changed into them, and then picked up a pair of knee-high black leather boots.

  The overall effect is good, but she looks and feels that the person in the mirror isn't herself. This outfit makes her look old-fashioned, just like she secretly wore her mother's clothes.

  She used to try on clothes when she went shopping, and whatever she wore looked great. How could such expensive and good brands not match her?

  After picking and choosing, she finally chose a rusty red short coat, black shorts inside, added a red short skirt, thought it looked much more eye-catching, just didn't know if wearing this outfit out in four or five days, the coat would be hot or not.

  She hesitated, and suddenly thought of asking someone for advice, but who?

  The classmates around her were all at the same level of life as hers, and their vision was roughly the same. Those who could enter the mainstream and had a bit of taste probably only included Qin Luoshui. But would it be ambiguous to let an unmarried big man help herself choose clothes?

  He burst out laughing, that guy didn't take her as a woman at all.

  Besides, he can also be considered as the matchmaker for himself and Song Shuyu. As for letting her marry into the Song family, Qin Luoshui is the most supportive one. They have formed an alliance of mutual defense.

  She immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a full-body selfie to Qin Luoshui via MMS.

  A moment later, Qin Luoshui's phone call came over, and his voice asked in confusion: "Sang Hong? Is that you?"

  "Is it me? What's wrong?"

  Qin Luoshui visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and chuckled softly: "You're crazy, sending me a headless photo out of the blue, what's the meaning of this? I thought someone had kidnapped you and was using your phone to take pictures for ransom."

  "Haha, you're really funny. Whoever is thinking of kidnapping me must be looking for death or a beating. I'm surprised you even dared to think that."

  Xiang Hong burst out laughing at his nervous laughter and was moved, thinking that the kidnapper would call back so quickly, it was clear that he was very anxious about this friend.

  "Now that you mention it, I just remembered that our classmate Sang Hong has become a standard special forces soldier, congratulations!" Qin Luoshui also laughed very brightly.

  "Heh heh, that's right. After I finish my initial training and become more skilled, if anyone offends you, I'll help you take revenge." Sang Hong said with a big grin.

  Qin Luoshui's face turned black with anger, thinking to himself, how could he possibly let her do something that involves violence? Even if he was willing to let her, Song Shuyu would probably be worried to death.

  "But in her mouth, she was full of praise: 'Good, good practice, I'm waiting. How come you have time to think of me today?' Qin Luoshui knew that this girl would only actively contact him if she had something on her mind."

  "Hehe, that's right. The old man of the Song family is going to have a big birthday soon. Shu Yu said that when the time comes, he will introduce me to his relatives and get acquainted with them. The photo I just sent you is what I plan to wear on that day, let you take a look and see if it's suitable for meeting people?"

  Xiang Hong said with some embarrassment, after all, letting a big man help judge clothing taste is a bit unseemly.

  "Let me take another look! Where's that wooden guy from your family?" Qin Luoshui said casually, bringing up the colorful message she had just sent, scrutinizing the photo.

  Red and black match, although also count festive, feel not enough flavor.

  His father summoned him and he went out before lunch, saying that he would only be back for dinner tonight.

  "Oh, this photo doesn't even show your head, are you an idiot?! Just looking at these, I can't tell if they look good or not. You'd better bring them over and I can help you design a matching outfit."

  Qin Luoshui said and deleted the MMS, this girl is really young, doing whatever she wants without any restrictions, especially her profession as a special forces soldier, daring to send him such a headless photo, ahahah, filling his heart with ominous feelings, really wanting to beat her up.

  "Oh, what does it mean? Am I going out to see you in this?" San Hong thought that whether she had the courage to go out was still a question.

  "Now wearing this short leather skirt is just right, how?" Qin Luoshui was somewhat puzzled, thinking she was worried about the season not being suitable, and besides, if she didn't wear it, how could he help her look?

  "It's been a long time since I've worn casual clothes, and besides, this one looks very expensive and will attract attention when going out, I'm not used to it."

  Xianghong thought for a moment and then told the truth.

  The more you wear it, the more you get used to it. I rarely see you wearing pretty clothes, especially after you wore the military school uniform, I couldn't even tell you were a woman anymore;

  "Wear it out today, first practice your courage, otherwise, you'll be very uncomfortable if you wear it directly to the banquet that day, hehe, you can imagine it yourself, let's just consider it a rehearsal for now."

  Qin Luoshui was very clear that on the day of Song's old master's birthday, she might be the second most popular person after Lao Shouxing. He didn't want her to be underestimated by people when she first appeared in high society.

  "Wow, you're right, I know too... Alright, I'll wear this out to see you, from head to toe it's almost all new, it's terrifying, I've never worn so many new things at once."

  Xiang Hong was speechless and sighed, and had no choice but to give up.

  "Hehe, from now on, you'll have to get used to this kind of life. If a set of clothes has been worn at this gathering, it can't be worn again next time. Relax, women's fondness for beautiful clothes and their attachment to them can easily be dug out." Qin Luoshui said with a smile.

  "Besides looking at clothes, do you have other plans?"

  "There's nothing for now." Xiang Hong contacted him in a flash of thought, how could there be any other plans.

  "Hmm, did you drive here or take a taxi?" Qin Luoshui asked.

  "Go ahead and drive, Song's car has been locked in the garage downstairs all along. That time I drove it and got into an accident, he didn't get angry at all, instead he told me to just go ahead and play with it." As soon as San Hong thought of that car, her hands started itching.

  "So that's how it is, the old man has a high opinion of you. You also know you've made trouble for yourself? This is B city, where the water runs deep, don't take things lightly."

  It's better not to start it, that car is currently estimated to be a thorn in the eyes of B City traffic police and countless rich young masters.

  "We rarely have time to chat, before the birthday banquet, there are still many things I need to teach you, time is precious, don't cause any more trouble."

  Qin Luoshui thought for a moment and stopped her from driving the idea, saying that he would go to pick her up now, and called her when she arrived at the gate.

  Xiang Hong listened to him and thought he was right, so she didn't insist anymore, just saying that if not, she would take a taxi there herself.

  Qin Luoshui had already hung up the phone, and Sang Hong couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the phone. She immediately rushed into the bathroom to freshen up a bit, thinking that it was a bit far from the entrance, so she decided to go downstairs early and take a walk to digest her food.

  She was very clear that letting Qin Luoshui, a successful businessman who made a fortune every day, wait for an idle person like herself was simply a sin. It's better to stand outside and wait, she wanted to cherish this respect and friendship.

  Xiang Hong slowly walked downstairs and out of the residential area, heading towards the campus.

  Alas, these high-heeled boots are a bit too high for her to wear, she's not quite used to walking in them and can't get the rhythm of her steps right. Moreover, being accustomed to taking big strides, this kind of short skirt and elegant dress makes it impossible for her to take large steps.

  She took small steps to the entrance of the residential building and felt a little regretful. This outfit was too eye-catching, if she went back to change, would she have to change again for Qin Luoshui?

  It's really too much trouble to keep exchanging.

  Sweat dripping, compared to the occasion with so many people that day, the number of people turning their heads on the street was at most a light drizzle. Clenching her teeth, Sang Hong steeled herself and walked out with a stiff upper lip.

  At least she was prepared, and in her bag there was a black sunglasses, although it was winter, in order to avoid running into acquaintances on campus, she simply took it out and put it on.

  These black sunglasses really have a good psychological defense, she put them on and felt that everything in front of her turned into cold tones, as if wearing an invisible cloak, thinking that she was also dull and nobody noticed.

  She smiled slyly, no wonder big stars all wear sunglasses, it turns out that in addition to covering half of their face, they also have this special effect!

  She walked out with her head held high and her chest out, her spirit refreshed, wearing high heels. Her body's coordination ability was excellent, and she found the rhythm after walking over a dozen steps.

  As she walked past the small woods near her family's courtyard, she was already walking with a gentle and elegant gait.

  Suddenly, a whistle came from behind, followed by a tentative shout: "Sang Hong?"

  Seeing her footsteps hesitate for a moment, his voice was filled with playful laughter: "Won't you? How did you dress up like this ghost?"

  As soon as the voice was heard, it was Qin Qing that rascal. She was both surprised and delighted. Since the special forces selection competition final, she hadn't even seen his shadow, unexpectedly running into him here today.

  She was just about to turn around and retort fiercely when she thought of an even more powerful way to scare him off.

  The first article of the lady's teachings in the etiquette book she had just learned: "When someone greets you on the road, don't turn around abruptly, but instead rotate your feet first, move your body to turn around, and then talk."

  Xiang Hong stopped in her tracks and turned around elegantly, standing up straight, just about to smile and talk to the guy who had greeted her, but where was he?

  One hand had already taken her sunglasses off from the bridge of her nose and was dangling them on her finger.

  Qin Qing smiled and retreated to the side of the road, leaning against a large tree at an angle, gazing at her with a bright smile.

  Xiang Hong swallowed the cry of surprise in her mouth and the impulse to rush up and grab back her glasses, as well as scold him. Instead, she smiled, pursed her lips, tilted her head and gave a sly smile:

  "Heh heh, like this - I'm like this - can you all recognize me?"

  Qin Qing's bright eyes sparkled as he gazed at her with a nearly greedy intensity, his lips curling up: "Even if you were reduced to ashes, I'd still be able to recognize you."

  Ever since that day when the majestic man descended from heaven and took her away, his heart had been tangled into a knot.

  He told himself to forget her and not to have any more illusions, but this heart was not something he could control.

  So many days of deliberate forgetting did not drive her out of his mind, but instead made his heart die once and then reignite.

  Song Shuyu and her younger uncle are classmates, with an age difference of so many years. It's estimated that as time goes on, the generation gap will become more apparent. As long as he is willing to wait and seek, there will be opportunities.

  Just like today, he has been waiting here since he knew they were driving back together. He didn't believe that the two of them were conjoined twins, inseparable for a moment. In just three days, he waited for her to come out alone.

  "That's an exaggeration." Xiang Hong suppressed her urge to pout and argue, forcing herself to be a gentle lady.

  "No exaggeration, as long as you appear in a place where I can sense it, my fist will tighten. It's been a long time since we last fought. You have a month's vacation, can't you spare some time for me? Let's have a thrilling fight?"

  Qin Qing looked at her with this little woman's appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met her. How could this woman have so many faces? As long as he was separated from her for a period of time, she would become different from before.

  Her growth trajectory after coming to university, Qin Qing is the most authentic witness, a piece of jade that was originally rough and unassuming, yet gradually revealed its luster and brilliance.

  Xiang Hong looked at his serious face, thinking of the past. If it weren't for him, this strong sparring partner who had always been striking her, shaping her and encouraging her, there wouldn't be the current her.

  He nodded immediately: "Hmm, let's try it once. I'm looking forward to your help in developing my new physical training plan. I've heard that the special forces' special training is very abnormal, and many people are from the troops, with a good foundation. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with the training progress, and suffer greatly later on."

  Qin Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to finalize the time. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you all the way through this practice session. As long as you don't give up, how about tomorrow?"

  Xiang Hong thought for a moment, and then she would have to sort out her own affairs. She estimated that at the latest, after the birthday banquet, she would inevitably let out a sigh:

  "I also want to tomorrow, but there are many things to deal with during this period of time. If not, let's make an appointment again after a week, sorry."

  "What's going on? Meeting the parents? You two aren't getting married that quickly, are you? You're not even eighteen yet, it's an illegal marriage that the law doesn't protect."

  Qin Qing's eyes rolled and she thought of some possibilities.

  "Go, go, go! What nonsense are you talking about? Who's getting married? I still have to become a special forces soldier!"

  Qin Qing burst out laughing: "You still remember your ideals, I thought you were indulged in and transformed into a 'having love is enough' kind of ordinary girl;

  "Xiang Hong, I can only advise you - a woman's youth is short-lived, and once married, it depreciates. Since you're certain he's the one for you, don't rush into things so hastily. I hope you'll go further and achieve the heroic dreams I once had in my heart."

  Xiang Hong was finally amused by him: "Your past heroic dreams can only be completed by yourself, what does it have to do with me?

  "You know a woman's youth is short, so naturally you can understand the importance of grasping marriage. Besides, I'm very vulgar and not as strong and brave, outstanding as you imagine, don't put a high hat on me to confuse me."

  "Haha, who made you the special forces I trained? When you came to me for help in creating a physical training plan, what did you say back then?"

  You say you can't be a special forces soldier yourself, but isn't it even more awesome to cultivate one?

  "You forgot?"

  Qin Qing's words were somewhat urgent, he felt hurt that Sang Hong had forgotten her promise.

  It turns out that his words still have a source, but she estimated that she said those words just to move him at the beginning, how could he impose his expectations on her?

  But if he wasn't doing it for his own heroic dreams, how could he have endured all the hardships just to be her sparring partner?

  Xiang Hong thought that in such an era of quick success and instant benefits, someone who was willing to pay the price for their dreams without complaint or regret was truly worthy of respect. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, smiling:

  "How could I have forgotten? The tears and laughter we've shared together move me, let's work hard together!"

  Qin Qing smiled and stretched out her hand to make a fist, and gently bumped it against hers.

  "It's settled then, you must contact me when you're free. It won't be more than half a month before you enlist, I suggest you stop being so carefree and irresponsible. Alright, goodbye!"

  "Ah, what a coincidence running into you today. You go ahead and take care of your business, I have some things to attend to as well. It was great seeing you, goodbye."

  Xiang Hong smiled sweetly, she was thinking of how to slip away and bid him farewell, but he let her go as easily as a piece of grass, this guy is so considerate!

  She lowered her head to look at her toes and suddenly understood. It turned out that she had just thought of Qin Luoshui, who was about to arrive at the door. Although she was facing Qin Qing, her toes were already slightly tilted in the direction of the door.

  She looked up to see Qin Qing standing right in front of her, and she stared blankly at him as he raised his hand, gently touching her cheek with the tip of his finger, and carefully placing her glasses on the bridge of her nose: "Come on, you have to get used to being watched by everyone."

  After finishing speaking, he smiled brightly at her and waved his hand, turning around and walking step by step in the direction of the family courtyard.

  Xiang Hong somewhat unnaturally raised her hand and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, then smiled and also headed towards the door.

  She didn't know that Qin Qing had turned around a bend and thought he was out of her sight, so he turned his body to look at her back.

  That swaying gait of hers was a charm he had never seen before.

  Her appearance in high heels suddenly made him think of the little mermaid who turned her fish tail into human legs for the prince, that tragic and precarious walk on the knife's edge.

  She adapted so quickly and already had those so-called ladylike manners.

  He was used to her uninhibited and loud laughter, used to her agile pounce on him as soon as she saw him, used to her sharp tongue that would argue with him at the drop of a hat. Her demeanor made his heart feel suffocated.

  She must also be very unaccustomed to such attire, although she concealed it well. He clearly sensed the self-doubt and awkwardness emanating from her. He missed that unadorned little woman.

  She must have loved Song Shuyu very much, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a concession and tried hard to adapt to his living environment.

  Anyway, it's great to see her.

  Qin Qing pursed her lips and walked step by step towards the classroom. The notification from the Y Country Royal Military Academy was expected to arrive soon, and she had a lot of preparation work to do. At that time, she would face a difficult choice: whether to enter the special forces base or go abroad to study with him.

  For a girl like her who is full of dreams, the attraction of foreign countries should be greater.

  As long as they go abroad together, will he have the opportunity to live with her again?

  Little by little, even if she doesn't choose him at that time, four years later he will return after completing his studies, and she estimates that she and Song will already be tired of each other!

  Although he hoped she was happy and at ease, if her happiness and ease were tied to that man, then it had nothing to do with him. So, he could only harden his heart and wish them a bumpy road ahead.

  Xiang Hong walked to the gate and saw that Qin Luo's car was indeed parked on the side of the road opposite the school.

  All she saw was Qin Luo standing beside the black luxury car, wearing a black mandarin collar coat, his figure tall and straight, with a flickering red glow flashing between his fingers. She had to admit that some men were born to be a pleasing picture.

  Qin Luoshui felt a twitch in his eyelid and looked up to see Sang Hong wearing a red fox fur coat and high heels.

  He flicked the cigarette butt from his hand onto the ground and crushed it with his toe.

  This woman is indeed a beauty, and in military uniform she looks sweet and lovely.

  Then he just watched as Xiang Hong walked step by step across the road towards him.

  Actually, when Xiang Hong saw him waiting here, she felt very embarrassed and wanted to run over quickly. However, seeing the admiring glances he received from women passing by, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If she ran over with a big smile on her face, wouldn't those passing women think she was his girlfriend?

  She held herself back a bit, patiently clicking her high heels as she walked step by step towards him.

  Qin Luoshui looked at her with a smile: "Your footsteps are bouncy and lively, you can't hide your excitement."

  "It's like seeing the whole organization when I see you, of course, it makes me happy." San Hong smiled at him with pursed lips.

  Qin Luoshui couldn't help but laugh.

  "How's this outfit?" Xiang Hong asked excitedly, spinning around in front of him.

  Qin Luoshui carefully sized her up, starting to judge: "The hairstyle is too tacky," her gaze moved down, "the glasses are too tacky, the clothes are too tacky, the shoes are too tacky. Everyone else's clothes make them stand out, but you're burying your light under those clothes. Hmm, only this woolen red skirt is barely passable."

  Xiang Hong was scolded by him until her eyes were wide with anger, but when she saw his usual sly and sarcastic expression, she immediately successfully concealed her nervous and anxious mood, and turned around:

  "Ugh, with such a rustic and unsophisticated woman sitting in your car, won't it make you lose face? I'd better go back."

  "Come on, I'm just worried you'll get too proud," Qin Losui said with a soft chuckle. "When a woman has that kind of look on her face, it's intimidating, heh heh, sorry about that, Miss Sang, please get in the car."

  Qin Luoshui said with a gentlemanly bow as he helped her open the car door: "Actually, I really like you in this getup, you look like a woman."

  Xiang Hong turned back and looked at him with disdain: "Are you praising me or mocking me? I am a woman myself, how can you say that about me?"

  "Hehe, mistake, mistake, let's go." Qin Luoshui considerately closed the car door and drove away.

  "Is this dress really ugly?" Shan Hong asked somewhat uneasily.

  "It's not bad-looking, but attending a grand occasion in such attire won't bring out your unique presence." Qin Luoshui's words revealed his criteria for judgment.

  "This down jacket is so expensive, the price tag has a lot of zeros. I'm also worried that wearing this coat will make me look like a nouveau riche." Xiang Hong sighed with regret.

  Qin Luoshui gave her a glance.

  Hehe, I admit it, wearing this now gives me the pretentious feeling of a sparrow wearing a phoenix's tail.

  Qin Luoshui was amused by the practical meaning in her words: "Sang Hong, it's normal for women to marry up, and marrying well is a skill, an honor, something that makes ordinary people envy and admire. It's different from men who live off their wives."

  You yourself are extraordinary, what a sparrow wearing phoenix clothes, standing beside Song Mu Tou, you are the phoenix on the branch, don't underestimate yourself.

  Xiang Hong let out a helpless sigh: "Just thinking about that day, when many people will be focusing on me, makes me want to flee. Or should I pretend to be sick? How's 'injured during training' as an excuse?"

  Qin Luoshui was shocked by her sudden idea: "Sang Hong, you two have already met the parents, this birthday banquet is actually facing their social circle, introducing you to everyone, telling them that from now on, you will be a member of the Song family, your face is their face.

  Of course, also take this opportunity to tell those women who have a crush on Song Shuyu to stop having illusions about him.

  Inform all relatives and elders who care about Song Shuyu's marriage that he has already chosen his future wife.

  How can you be absent from such an occasion?

  Your two-year special forces service period is too variable, dare you guarantee that no one will covet your occasional absence?

  Everything starts with sweetness, but later on, there will be boredom, habituation, abandonment, loneliness, despair and even cold laughter.

  "From now on, you still have a long battle or defensive war to fight for your marriage."

  Qin Luoshui's words were a big comfort, and the slight retreat in Sang Hong's heart was immediately dispelled by his solemn and heartfelt tone.

  "Cough... I was just thinking, after working so hard for so long, how could I easily retreat." Shang Hong explained to herself.

  "Xiang Hong, do you know what impression you give me?"

  Qin Luoshui suddenly asked her.

  Xiang Hong was taken aback, and laughed dryly: "I reckon nothing good will come out of your mouth. I've always been struck down by you until I'm left speechless, so it's better if you don't say it to my face."

  Qin Luoshui was taken aback and said: "Heavenly conscience, I've never spoken ill of you before, how could you say such a thing?"

  Xiang Hong rolled her eyes speechlessly, her mouth was so sharp, it was the legacy of the Qin family, wasn't it? Not counting what she said before, just now when he evaluated her like that, at that time she wished to dig a hole by the roadside and bury herself in it. Wasn't he venomous-tongued?

  Qin Luoshui looked at her with a "I don't care if you listen or not" expression and directly said the words on his lips:

  "You are a miracle that cannot be measured for me, I don't know how great your energy is and how deep your potential is. Let's just talk about the miracles you bring to me."

  I remember the night you won and took off your clothes, Wang Gui's sister said that sentence, "You're a noble person, you have good fortune", at that time I didn't believe it, but later on thinking about it, you really are quite special.

  You don't put wealth in your eyes and interact with me sincerely and naturally, without any fear.

  Interacting with someone like Song Shuyu, his overbearing aura is something many women can't handle, yet you managed to make him like you and obediently follow you to A city to meet your parents.

  Like Song Lao Taigong, he's a top-notch person who can give you a different look, and you're indeed someone with noble connections.

  Besides, you can be admitted to a military academy and become a special forces soldier. Just these facts alone are enough to make people not dare to underestimate you.

  So don't worry about how the guests will look at you that day, just consider yourself as a member of the Song family. I'm sure that among the women who can appear there, none of them can be compared with your strength.

  "There are many of them, but it's just that when God arranged for them to be reincarnated, they happened to be born into good families. There's no need to envy them, and even less reason to feel intimidated because of their family background."

  His words made Sang Hong, who was used to his sharp tongue, feel very unaccustomed. She listened with embarrassment and blushed, even though she tried to pretend she wasn't surprised. However, her increasingly bright eyes were filled with laughter, easily betraying her.

  Qin Luoshui saw that this little girl was actually able to become radiant and charming under his words, and her beauty left him completely defenseless.

  He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then reflect on whether he had been too harsh on this little girl.

  "What medicine did you take today that you can spit out sugar-coated cannonballs?" San Hong couldn't bear the laughter, so she used teasing to alleviate her own embarrassment.

  Qin Luoshui was always calm and collected in front of women, but he felt a slight sense of loss, and immediately applied the brakes with great self-control:

  "Used to being hit by me, can't believe words of approval?"

  Hehe, I've thought it over and now I'll explain. The main reason is that I've been with many women before, so unconsciously I always compare you to all the good points of other women. This unfair comparison makes me think that everything should be perfect about you, so naturally I often intentionally belittle you.

  It's just like teachers, always used to comparing their own children with the strengths of all the good students they've taught, and after comparison, they naturally criticize their own children mercilessly, as a result, many teachers' kids end up being very poor performers, I guess it's an occupational disease.

  His explanation made Sang Hong listen with sweat dripping down her face. She thought about it and found it reasonable, but couldn't help but bitterly smile: "So you're saying that evaluating women is your profession?"

  Qin Luoshui glared, how could this woman draw such a conclusion from his words, it was truly speechless, apart from intentionally causing him trouble, he couldn't figure out her motive.

  "Of course, men live for this, from a biological perspective, it's about competing for more dominance and mating rights, these two points determine the survival value of males as a species."

  Xiang Hong was shocked by his profound and vulgar summarization power, the value and meaning of human survival, can actually be summarized in this way, after careful consideration, it is indeed a truth that can be applied universally!

  Innumerable men and women who are keen on power would reason that the two kinds of existence as goals are not only for men, but also for women.

  Qin Luoshui looked at her silence and smiled: "What? Not used to this kind of conclusion that describes men as so ugly? Your Song Mu Tou is an exception, but it can't be denied that he has a very strong controlling power in his hands. As long as he wants, there are many women who want to climb onto his bed."

  Xiang Hong nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, if all the men in the world were like you, accepting both [homosexuality and heterosexuality] without distinction, wouldn't that make it impossible for women to survive?"

  Qin Luoshui was completely stunned, this girl's poisonous tongue is not more invincible than his, no wonder he always spoke to her without courtesy, it turned out that the root of the problem lies in this, her words were piercing and merciless, always arousing his desire to be sarcastic towards her.

  "When you say that, it just proves that you don't understand me. I've always been very particular about women. You're my friend, not my girlfriend, so don't apply your standards to me. From the fact that you asked me for help in coordinating your clothes, doesn't that mean you acknowledge my taste in women? Those mediocre and ordinary women can't even enter my eyes."

  Moreover, I am sentimental but not promiscuous. The reason why I am still single until now is that among the women I have sincerely treated with kindness, there isn't anyone who can arouse my lasting interest, to the extent that I would be willing to give up the entire garden for just one flower.

  I'm also exhausted and lonely, but I don't know where the woman who makes me surrender is, perhaps I should follow Song Mu Tou's example and find her among the green and immature persimmons.

  Xiang Hong gritted her teeth, leaning against him. Just a moment ago, he was still praising her to the skies, but in an instant, he began to trample all over her. She was just a young and inexperienced persimmon, okay? She admitted that compared to those charming women of his, she was indeed a bit...inexperienced. But don't use your standards to measure me, what does that even mean?!

  What an annoying guy.

  Qin Luoshui saw that she was easily struck down again, and couldn't help but laugh: "Let's stop arguing for now, we're almost there. The clothes on you were bought by Song Mu Tou and you together?"

  He despised Song Shuyu's taste in clothes, did he think he was old and deliberately let Sang Hong dress similarly to him?

  Xiang Hong shook her head: "No, it was his mother who bought them. Our school has a house of their family, which is beautifully decorated and everything inside is well prepared. The closet is full of brand new clothes with tags still on, the size is just right, I feel half happy and half worried."

  Qin Luoshui was taken aback: "Song Shuyu's mother? That woman is so picky, she didn't make things difficult for you and even prepared a lot of new clothes for you?"

  Xiang Hong nodded: "Yeah, I'm happy that she's willing to spend money on clothes for me. What worries me is, if I don't wear the clothes she bought, will it make her unhappy?"

  "Hehe, I guess she likes you. There's no emotional connection between the two of you at all, but she's willing to spend money on those international brand-name clothes for you, which proves that she's thinking about you."

  It's also possible that she's trying to control your dressing style, this style of clothing is suitable for a 24 or 25-year-old woman, and at that age, she matches Song Shuyu quite well. She doesn't want you to look too young and naive, making her son seem like he's deceiving a young girl.

  Qin Luoshui indeed has a good understanding of women's psychology, and as soon as he heard that the clothes were prepared by Song Shuyu's mother, he easily inferred her intentions.

  "So you mean I should wear it like this?" San Hong heard him speak reasonably, and she was also very angry. Even if she didn't like it, since her elder had bought it for her, not wearing it would definitely make her unhappy.

  "Fool, you don't understand the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in marriage life. The mother-in-law is very picky about her daughter-in-law, just take clothes as an example, if you dress according to her taste, she can easily see a lot of information."

  The simplest thing is that she's very clear that if you don't have a fixed brand and matching vision when dressing, she'll look down on you as an inexperienced little woman.

  What's more, if you wear them according to her wishes, she will keep buying such things for you in the future. Her family is not short of money at all. After getting married, when you can dispose of Song Shuyu's money as you wish, you will know how much these clothes piled up in your closet make you disgusted.

  Qin Luoshui patiently taught her class.

  "This - wearing it is wrong, not wearing it is also not good, what exactly do you mean?!"

  Xiang Hong couldn't help but feel a little intimidated, listening to him describe his future mother-in-law as an old woman with such strong control desires. She had always known that women were more difficult to deal with than men, especially her mother-in-law, who could see the subtle cleverness in one glance, making her feel even more pressured.

  "What's the hurry? You understand what I mean, don't try to be filial to your mother-in-law like you would to your own mom, have boundaries, let her know from your boundaries where your bottom line is in accepting her, respect comes first, if you're too close she'll look down on you."

  "If there's anything you don't want to go along with, Song Mu Tou is your shield. Whatever you want to do, just use him as an excuse and he'll help you deal with his mom effortlessly."

  Qin Luoshui smiled lightly and nodded.

  "For example, this time at the birthday banquet, I bought what clothes to wear and told her that Song Shuyu accompanied me to help pick them out?"

  Xiang Hong was taken aback, then nodded. She had indeed thought of getting close to Zhang Yunping as her own mother, and upon hearing this, she understood why she couldn't do so.

  "You're not even a woman, how can you understand the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so thoroughly?" San Hong found it unbelievable.

  "Haha, the infighting among women in a family is a wonderful drama that can't be missed. Although I'm not a woman and haven't married, I have several sisters-in-law. And because I'm not married, my mom tells me everything, so it's easy to understand these little things."

  Song Shuwei has two sisters-in-law above him, each with their own story to tell. Add his mother to the mix, and you have three women to deal with, which won't be easy. So, it's better for you to have less contact with them, and fewer chats. A casual remark from you can lead to a lot of speculation on their part. For someone like you who has no experience with big family dynamics, it's better to observe more and speak less.

  Or rather, starting with the younger generation at their home during gatherings makes it easier to gain their trust and closeness.

  Qin Luoshui wholeheartedly gave her directions on how to get along in the future, and the car soon stopped at a place.

  "Where is this?" Xiang Hong looked at the unfamiliar surroundings outside and asked him.

  "The high-end image design center I know only receives unmarried celebrities," Qin Luoshui said, getting out of the car and turning around to open the door for her.

  Xiang Hong stared at him blankly: "I - how could you let them receive me?"

  Qin Luoshui smiled and made a welcoming gesture, Shang Hong got out of the car in a daze, he locked the car door and accompanied her forward, saying:

  "Haha, I'm also a man with value, this designer is my new friend;"

  Don't worry, it won't be too exaggerated. Today I came here to help you take photos, and then choose a hairstyle and clothes. Another day, you can have Song Shuyu accompany you to do your hair and buy clothes. It's best if you come tomorrow, I'll help you pick out two more suitable outfits, and then finalize them according to his taste.

  "Hey, should I tell him that you came with me today?" Sanhong asked in a low voice, she was really hesitant.

  Qin Luoshui knew that Sang Hong's appearance meant she was worried about Song Shuyu being jealous.

  That vinegar jar is really speechless, she can have this self-awareness and reduce her interactions with other boys, but it's necessary to remind her that she shouldn't be suspected by Song Shuyu for no reason.

  He said to her very seriously at once:

  "Shang Hong, there's something very important I need to tell you - don't lie to Song Shuyu, his IQ and experience will easily see through it;"

  I am a common friend of yours, and I have always appreciated and respected you, so our interactions are clear and transparent, don't give him any space for misunderstanding.

  Lies are for covering up, our friendship is so easy and friendly, where is the need to cover up?

  To tell a lie is to say one lie and then use countless lies to cover it up, so don't cheat him, let him trust you, and you can walk together until your hair turns white.

  Xiang Hong listened to him say this, and suddenly laughed very brightly, nodding to indicate she understood.

  Just as she was about to speak, a spiral staircase appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw that there was no sign or logo of any office or company, which was quite strange for such a bustling area with a whole building without a single business.

  "Here?" Sang Hong looked at him turning his head back to her at the staircase entrance.

  "Ah, this office building is that design center, with many departments inside, everything is very professional." Qin Luoshui gestured for her to go first, and he followed behind.

  "How can there be no signboard? Not even an elevator? What kind of business is this?" Shan Hong asked in puzzlement.

  "This is not a place for doing business, here we only accept donations from people with identity."

  They had only climbed a dozen or so steps when they saw a group of people coming towards them, led by none other than Ye Feng, the international supermodel that Sang Hong had met before.

  She wore a silver-gray robe and copper-colored small pants, her figure was slender and elegant, floating and not in harmony with the crowd.

  She stood still, facing Sang Hong's gaze, with an air of superiority.

  Xiang Hong quietly withdrew her admiring gaze and sighed inwardly - a model is just a model, this overall temperament makes me ashamed to death.

  Ye Feng smiled and waved at him as soon as Qin Luo looked up and saw her.

  "Director Qin, what a coincidence! Bringing your girlfriend here for a haircut?" As he spoke, his eyes scrutinized Fang Hong's body and nodded at her with a smile.
