In fact, after spending so long with Yao Si, Xin Xiran also knows her personality very well. He knows that Yao Si doesn't like to receive gifts for no reason and feels that he owes favors.

He also knew that this was because Yao Si did not treat him as his family, so he could almost be said to be persistent in giving gifts. He felt that if Yao Si could accept his gift one day without any psychological burden, he would take a big step.

Xin Xiran really likes to give gifts to Yao Si. He thinks that those who see good-looking and fun things should belong to Yao Si. So he often buys all kinds of expensive and cheap things to give to Yao Si, but after being rejected by Yao Si countless times, he finally knew to restrain himself.

But why did he use the same trick again this time? Because after seeing Yao Si leaving in Qiu Ji's carriage, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He clearly saw the person he liked, but she wanted to follow others. His heart was so heavy that he felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, which made him feel uncomfortable even when he breathed.

He wanted to find a sense of existence, and he wanted a special treatment different from Qiu Ji. He knew that Yao Si seemed to be firm in his heart, but in fact he was very soft-hearted. Her heart would be forced by the outside world as firm as iron, but she treated her close relatives and friends with gentleness and pity.

That's why he wanted to give gifts openly in front of Qiu Ji. He expected that Yao Siding would not swear his face in person, and even in order to safeguard his self-esteem, the possibility of accepting gifts was almost 100%. This also achieved his goal. As long as Yao Si accepted the gift, he could raise his head in front of Qiu Ji.

When he found a very "suitable" excuse to put a lot of things on the table, he saw Yao Si's laughable expression, and he knew that he had been half successful. When the hesitant expression appeared in Yao Si's eyes, he knew that he had almost succeeded. If it were the past when there was no one around, Yao Si would have to refuse him directly.

So when Yao Si said that he would let Lan Xin accept it, the little calculation in his heart finally started, and he shouted excitedly in his heart. In order to maintain a normal expression on his face, he almost suffered internal injuries.

He looked at Qiu Ji with some provocation, but the latter seemed to be smiling, as if he saw through his tricks. Xin Xiran hadn't thought about it yet, but he heard Yao Si say he would give him a gift, which made him happy and cheerful. Is this saying that Yao Si treats him differently?!

He opened the box with anticipation and saw it, but his smile almost froze on his face. It was a jade that looked very valuable at first glance, which immediately set off his pile of cheap things without his temperament.

This is a return of tribute, and it has no meaning, as she said, ritual exchanges.

"What are you giving me this? I'm useless." He pushed the box and subconsciously wanted to refuse. If he accepted this gift, it means he admitted that the relationship between him and her was really just an ordinary relationship, but this was what he didn't want to admit the least.

The shop owner came over with a smile and brought a few bowls of tea, put a bowl next to each person, Qiu Ji took a sip of the tea bowl, and smiled and said, "Since you don't want to collect it, let's go to Jinbuju to have a simple meal together that night."

Xin Xiran felt nervous. This was even more hurtful than Yao Si’s gift to him. Why did you invite me in the tone of the host? He thought hatefully, and said in anger, "You and I are all guests. This way of treating guests is better for the host."

Yao Si looked at the two of them helplessly, and she could see the joke in Qiu Ji's eyes. She thought that Qiu Ji had never seen such a mercy person before. Oh... it was hard to make her. She comforted Xin Xiran and said, "Just just wanted to tell you, my mother told you to make delicious food at night, if you don't dislike it..."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." Xin Xiran was happy for a moment. Before Yao Si finished speaking, he nodded with a chicken pecking at the rice. "It's only been an hour for the ceremony. The weather is good today. After that, we will go around the mountains. The mountains are full of flowers and the scenery is wonderful. It's not too late for us to go back after a while."

Yao Si could only nodded and responded. The scenery when he came was really beautiful, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and she was also trying to go around.

"A few of you are disciples of Yangshan Academy. I recognized the clothes you are wearing. Yangshan Academy is so good, with many talents coming out. I'm afraid it's the best again in the spring exam this year." There was no one in the shop for the time being, and the store came to mix tea and started chatting with Yao Si and the others.

Yao Si smiled: "The spring test has nothing to do with the outcome, it's just everyone's competition."

"Hey, what a big tone." Several people in blue robes walked in, their eyes falling on Yao Si's table, and they were naturally saying that to them.

Xin Xiran was angry with the people of the Imperial Academy, and his face suddenly became dark. However, he didn't want to cause trouble now, so he just looked at the people coldly, and then retracted his gaze indifferently.

"Hey, you have a bad temper, kick me? Are you from Yangshan Academy very great? Let me tell you, you were lucky last year. This year, with Senior Brother Cao, you all have to stand aside from Yangshan and Yinshan." As soon as the man finished speaking, the few people behind him laughed in agreement.

Such a provocation was really painful to Yao Si's table, so the others didn't answer. Instead, they were talking and laughing, and obviously putting the students aside.

Several students were insulted and were about to come forward to teach a lesson when someone behind him said in a deep voice: "The competition has not started yet. If you say these unrestricted words, you are not afraid of being laughed at by others."

Several people turned around and bowed and shouted "Senior Brother Cao". Cao Jian walked into the shop with his hands behind his back, chose a table to sit down, and the shopkeeper quickly brought a bowl of tea to each person with his head.

Cao Jian only took a look, pushed the bowl aside in disgust, asked the store to send a pot of boiled water, and then the child who accompanied him took out a set of tea sets and brewed a pot of tea with quick hands and feet.

"Master Qiu, this is the best gift from the emperor, Biluochun. If you don't dislike it..."

"Dislike." Qiu Ji was so quick that Yao Si and Xin Xiran who were sitting opposite him could not react, let alone Cao Jian.

After a few breaths, Cao Jian realized what he said, and his face turned cold. This was the second time that Qiu Ji had shook his face today. If he hadn't been concerned about Qiu Ji's identity, his cup of tea would have been spilled out.

"Ha, Mr. Qiu is really kind and speaks without restraint. No wonder he heard that in Yangshan Academy, there are people who retreat to the place where Mr. Qiu passes."

How could Qiu Ji take these words to heart? He didn't even hear them because he was talking to Yao Si at this time.

Cao Jian felt embarrassed and gritted his teeth in hatred. He looked at Yao Si again and couldn't help but sneer: "It's true that there are fish and dragons. You can get in any cat or dog fish. What a pity that such a good sign."

Everyone here understands who he is referring to. Yao Si knows that the other party is putting the finger on him. She smiled slightly and stood up with a tea bowl.
