He lowered his voice to warn her.
"I'm not someone who doesn't know what's important. Otherwise, I would have called you out when you got close to me. "
Jiang Pengji was not afraid at all. Instead, she glared at him.
Wei Ci came at the right time, neither too early nor too late. Jiang Pengji originally wanted to fulfill his wish, so she did not expose his identity. Now that she saw it, the young girl was open-minded and could let it go. The man did not have any intention either. Her efforts as a matchmaker were in vain.
Wei Ci lowered his eyelids after Jiang Pengji said that. He hid the strange look in his eyes.
"You're too boring. You have a lot of thoughts." Jiang Pengji clicked her tongue. She rested her hands on the back of her head. Her wide sleeves slid down her arms, revealing two fair, slender arms. Her wrists were slender and beautiful. Wei Ci averted his gaze awkwardly, not daring to continue looking at her.
Jiang Pengji did not miss his reaction. She smiled and deliberately got closer to him. She whispered, "Fortunately, I'm a sensible person.
"Fortunately, I'm a sensible person. If I were a little slow-witted, I might think that you're a homosexual."
Wei Ci's face darkened. "What do you mean?"
"How can a normal man blush when he looks at another man's arm? He even pretends to avert his gaze. Others won't suspect anything wrong with the latter. They'll only think that the former has unusual feelings for the latter. That's why … "
Men in this era would not say anything even if they were shirtless, not to mention showing their arms.
Wei Ci's face darkened even more after hearing that. He secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Jiang Pengji saw that he did not leave but stayed where he was. She could not help but be curious.
"It looks like you came here specially to look for me." She said confidently, "If it were any other day, you would've flung your sleeves and left if I provoked you like this. Why would you still be standing there like a log? Tell me, why are you looking for me? "
Wei Ci was speechless.
The pear blossom petals fell with the breeze. There was no one around, and no one saw their abnormality.
The audience in the streaming room watched the whole scene. They felt sorry for Wei Ci, the unlucky child.
Up until now, the men that Jiang Pengji had met were either bullied by her like a little white rabbit once, after which she lost interest in them, or they were in cahoots with her. Both of them were not good people.
Only Wei Ci was bullied by Jiang Pengji whenever she saw him.
They did not know Wei Ci's current state of mind, but they really felt sorry for him.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Host, can you find someone else to fight?
Host V: "I'm not willing to!
Everyone: "…"
Wei Ci's expression changed again and again. In the end, he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
"I heard people say that the Flower Festival is your birthday. But you didn't hold a birthday party, and you didn't invite any friends, so I can't be sure. "
He had once thought that the Flower Festival was her birthday. Every year on this day, all the officials would celebrate, and the whole world would celebrate, but …
He still hadn't forgotten the scene of her destroying all the gifts by herself. All the maids were chased out by her, and no one dared to approach her.
Wei Ci did not know why she was like this and did not dare to ask. He still had a lingering fear in his heart.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had the courage to ask about it.
"The Flower Festival is indeed Liu Xi's birthday."
Jiang Pengji smiled and squinted her eyes. Her answer might seem problematic to outsiders, but it was harmless. After all, wasn't she Liu Xi?
When Wei Ci heard this, he faintly felt that this was the case.
"Are you here to give me a gift?" Jiang Pengji had been in Langye all these years, and her birthday had always been spent with longevity noodles. She had never had such a flashy but impractical occasion. At most, she would have a richer meal on that day and wear brand-new clothes.
"Yes."
Wei Ci responded softly. Jiang Pengji suddenly felt a little guilty.
He came to give her a birthday gift, but she rebuked him with her words, which made her feel suffocated …
Thinking of this, she felt that it was not easy for Wei Ci.
"What is it?" Jiang Pengji asked directly.
Wei Ci did not feel offended. After all … this person's reaction was already considered giving him face.
"It's my humble work. It's barely acceptable," Wei Ci said.
He took out a very delicate pendant.
"Beauty Sleep?" Jiang Pengji took it. A few Beauty Sleep flowers were in full bloom, and their petals were stretched. They were made of bloodstone, and the veins were handled very well. From afar, it looked like a beauty sleep that had just fallen from the branches. She could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly. "Zixiao's skills have improved greatly."
The stone was not of the highest quality, and it was made by Wei Ci himself. Although it was not valuable, it was the thought that counts.
Over the years in Langye Academy, Jiang Pengji had been invited to other people's birthday parties. Most of the gifts she gave were the students' own works.
Manuscripts, carvings, paintings and calligraphy … Friendship was more important than value.
Wei Ci's gift of this pendant could only be said to be average.
But … Jiang Pengji secretly glanced at the bullet screen. Sure enough, there was a bunch of people ridiculing Wei Ci.
Bingtang Lemon: "Invisible pretense is the deadliest. What do you mean by 'clumsy work, barely acceptable'?
Mouyi: "I've been learning carving for a few years, but I can only hug myself and cry."
Jiang Pengji felt better.
Host V: "It's okay, I'll help you."
In an instant, the bullet screen that ridiculed Wei Ci turned into heartache.
He was rebuked before he gave the gift, and now he was rebuked after he gave the gift. How pitiful.
"Thank you."
In another place, Wuniang was in a good mood. She worshiped the Flower God and prayed for her family as usual.
In the end, she shyly added, "May I have a lover and stay together till death."
The Flower Festival was indeed very lively. The beautiful young girls in fresh clothes competed with each other for beauty, and the young men who were dressed in elegant robes became a unique scene. Listening to the rhythmic recitation of the elegant gathering, Wuniang was thinking about her marriage.
She did not have to think about Wei Ci. They were not fated to be together, and she could not force it.
There were many young talents at the Flower Festival, but compared to Wei Ci, all of them were overshadowed.
Back home, Wuniang was still worried about this matter.
Master Yuanjing looked at her pouting face and could not help but smile. He asked her, "Did you fancy anyone today?"
"No, I can't compare to Brother Ci at all," Wuniang said.
Yuanjing's wife saw that her husband was so inappropriate, and she suddenly became a little angry.
"How can you teach your daughter like this? I'm really afraid that when Wuniang reaches the age of 15, no one will dare to propose marriage. How can you let Wuniang make the decision herself? "
Master Yuanjing said, "Why are you so worried? If no one proposes, then so be it. Can't an old man like me support Wuniang?"
His wife was also angry. "You know that you're old. How many years can you protect Wuniang? You don't plan well for her, and you only cause trouble. "
Master Yuanjing was erudite and eloquent, but he did not dare to talk back to his wife.
He secretly glanced at his daughter and saw that Wuniang was smiling at him. She was watching the drama unfold.
"There are so many young talents. Is it true that none of them fancy anyone?"
Master Yuanjing stretched his neck to make sure that his wife was far away. Then, he turned to ask his daughter.
"There are people, but … I don't know if they have a marriage."
"Oh? Who? "
"Liu Xi. He's about the same age as me. He's quite humorous. He's not as bad as the rumors say …"
Master Yuanjing was speechless.
