Volume 3 Chapter 25 Reaching Consensus Part 1

  "Sister, listen to me, just now Ximen brother......"

  "Don't shout so loudly! I don't want to hear anything now! Go back inside!" En Qi was in a bad mood, and hearing her sister call out "Ximen Ge" was especially grating.

  "Sister, you really misunderstood... Xiangyue felt very wronged, she didn't do anything with Simen, why was she so arbitrary? Is this the tradition of the Xia family women?"

  "Enqi opened the door and poked her head out to ask, 'What did I misunderstand about you? You tell me, how do you know Ximen? Was it him who sent you back today?'"

  Xīn Yuè was unable to utter a single word under ēn Qí's intense questioning!

  "Wasn't it him who sent you back that day too? Why aren't you answering? Hmph, I didn't think you'd grown up too!" En Qi slammed the door shut with a "bang".

  It's all over, it's all over! Now even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash me clean! To be honest, I've never been wronged by anyone my whole life. But since coming to the Xia family... Xiangyue couldn't help but burst into tears.

  "What's wrong?" Bingtong asked quietly as she stood at her feet.

  Xīn yuè saw Bīng Tóng gazing at her with concern, and for a moment, she felt even more wronged. She cried as she hugged Bīng Tóng, saying: "Wū, it's all your fault! Wū...".

  "Oh dear, oh dear, don't cry anymore! You've gotten my precious fur all wet! Let's go inside and talk!"

  Xin Ruo hugged Bing Tong and walked into her own room. She put Bing Tong on the table, but she herself continued to cry sadly.

  "What's going on?! You're driving me crazy! And you still want to be a man?! I think you're just a typical woman! Crybaby! Just don't change back!"

  "What? Can I really go back?" Xinyue stopped crying and suddenly came to life.

  "Not now! Not now! I'm going to suffocate! Tell me what happened quickly!"

  Xīn Yuè thought for a moment and decided that telling Bīng Tóng wouldn't be betraying Xī Mén, because she had only sworn not to tell other "people", and rabbits don't count as people, haha. So she told Bīng Tóng everything about Xī Mén.

  "Ha ha, what's the big deal? You can either make up a story to fool your sister and say you met him somewhere else, or just ignore it altogether. After all, the truth will come out eventually! But tell me, do you like that little brat?"

  "Icy gaze! He's my sister's boyfriend, how could I possibly like him!!"

  "Oh no, oh no, I'm not referring to him! I'm talking about that other guy, the fierce-looking one!"

  "Oh, you're referring to Qingchi?" Xiangyue's face flushed with two red clouds, and she said thoughtfully: "When he was still Xiangyue, I already liked her! Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought him along to lift your seal together... But, but it seems like he never took me seriously..."

  "Haha... I understand! I know what to do!" Little Grey Rabbit suddenly opened his mouth with two big front teeth and burst out laughing!

  "Bingtong, what's wrong?" Xinyue asked in confusion.

  "Hehe, little beauty! I owe you one, don't I? I'll do something for you! Just wait and see! Sleep tight! Haha...". Bingtong "whooshed" out the door.

  "Bingtong, just sleep here!" Xinyue knew it was going to sleep on Xiaoyan's bed.

  "Hehe, you're a girl now!" Little Grey Rabbit teased with a wink at the door, making Xiang Yue laugh happily.

  "But I'd like to ask you another question, would you rather go back or get that kid Qingchi?" Ice Pupil asked mysteriously again.

  "This... can there only be one choice? What to do, I want both of them...” Xiang Yue smiled awkwardly and stuck out her tongue: “Am I being too greedy? Actually, the best would be to exchange back, then again with the real Xia Xiang Yue, hehe... But if I had to choose just one... Ah, it's so hard!”

  Xin Yue didn't expect Bing Tong to ask such a sharp question. It's not wrong that she loves Qing Chi, but his weird behavior is beyond her imagination! Is it worth making sacrifices for someone like him?

  "Heh heh, I understand what you mean! Tomorrow, if that guy from Qingchi asks you to hand me over to him, just agree! And add one more condition!"

  "What's going on?" Xinyue asked in confusion.

  "Of course it's the conditions that restrict him! Fool!" Bingtong said and was about to leave.

  "Bingtong, are you kidding me? You want to follow him?! Don't you want to live anymore?"

  "Hehe, never mind, never mind! Just wait and see the good show!" Bingtong made a mischievous face and slipped away with a whoosh.

  At noon when school was dismissed, Xinyue was walking home with Yongji and Yudu, laughing and chatting, when a sedan suddenly stopped beside them with a screech.

  Xīn Yuè turned her head and took a look, wasn't that her own family's car?

  "Xīnyuè, come up here, I'll send you back!" Qīngchí said, poking his head out of the car.

  "Xīn Yuè didn't expect Qing Chi would openly show affection to her in front of everyone."

  "Wow! Xinyue, you're so lucky! That guy is really into you!" Yu Duo teased, nudging the blushing Xinyue.

  "Are you just going to send Yueting off by yourself? Can't we come along for the ride?" Yongji said with a tinge of sourness.

  "Hehe, sorry about that! I have something to discuss with her today!"

  Xin Yue immediately guessed that he came to find her because of Bing Tong, and her heart was filled with joy. But it quickly cooled down. She turned around and said: "Whatever it is, just say it here! I'm listening!"

  "Haha, what's going on here?" Qingchi's attitude was unusually good.

  "Hey, you two have some secret that you're afraid we'll hear? Yudu, let's not be a third wheel, let's go!" Yujie's self-esteem was greatly hurt, and she pulled Yudu away.

  "What's the big deal about having a car? It's just a ride, what's the harm in that?" Yu Duo also muttered discontentedly.

  "There are many, let's sing, go up!" Xiangyue opened the car door and winked at her two friends.

  The two of them were stunned for a second before turning around and rushing back into the car.

  "Alright, alright, I won't mess with you guys! Consider myself unlucky!" Qingchi said as he started the car.

  Three girls sat in the back row, each lost in their own thoughts.

  Yong Ji was a proud girl who wouldn't normally deign to take the bus, but she was intrigued by the secrets between Qing Chi and Xiang Yue. What exactly was their relationship? She had to uncover this secret! So she reluctantly boarded the bus.

  Yu Duo thought, "If I don't sit, it's a waste!"

  There was only Qingchi in the car, Xiangyue thought, isn't it usually Wang's housekeeper who sends him to school? His parents generally don't allow their son to drive, so why is he...

  Xīn Yuè couldn't help but ask: "Where is Manager Wang? Why didn't he come today?"

  "Ah, I sent him away."

  "Really! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble when you get back?" Xinyue glared at Qingchi.

  "Haha, don't worry about it!"

  Xīn Yuè didn't say anything else.

  "How did you know so much about the Qingchi family?" Yongji asked Xiangyue.

  "No! I heard it from someone else..." Xinyue thought she had misspoken and was flustered, not knowing what to do.

  "Our two families have known each other for generations, what don't we know?" Qingchi said without turning his head while driving.

  "Really? I thought it was strange!" Yumi said, but her heart was racing: Is this possible? The two of them had met before, but they didn't seem to recognize each other at all! Wait, there was that one time when Seiichi stared at her for a bit too long, and she even called him an idiot!

  "I'm here! I've arrived!" Yu Duo exclaimed happily.

  Qingchi stopped the car, and Yuduo and Yongji both got out of the car.

  "Yongji, your home isn't here yet!" Xinyue didn't understand why Yongji wanted to get off the bus.

  "Oh, I'll just cut through this alley and it's closer." Yumi said goodbye to her with a wave: "Bye!"

  "Bye!"

  There were only Qingchi and Xinyue left in the car. Xinyue thought to herself, what did he want to say to her? Maybe he really came for Bingteng?

  "What happened last night was my fault! Now I want to ask you for a favor! Can you agree to it?" Qingchi went straight to the point.
