Chapter 327: Those Carefree Days of Youth (X)

He warned her in a low voice, “I’m not an insensible person... Otherwise I would’ve called you out when you got near just now.”

Jiang Pengji was not scared of him at all. Instead, she shot a snappy glance at him.

Wei Ci came at a good time. He was neither too early nor too late. Jiang Pengji had originally wanted to bring a romance to a happy ending, so she did not expose him. Looking at it now, the little girl was open-minded and could let things go. The guy did not have any feelings towards the girl, so her matchmaking job would have been a waste.

Upon hearing what Jiang Pengji said, Wei Ci lowered his eyelids and hid the abnormal look in his eyes.

“You’re a really boring person and you have a lot of thoughts in your mind.” Jiang Pengji smacked her lips and rested the back of her head on her hands. Her wide sleeves slid down her arms, revealing two fair arms. Her wrists were slender and beautiful. Wei Ci shifted his gaze awkwardly, not daring to look at her.

Of course, Jiang Pengji did not miss his reaction. She laughed and deliberately got close to him. She whispered, “Fortunately, I’m a sensible person. People who are slightly slow-witted may think that you’re gay.”

Wei Ci had a grave look on his face. “What do you mean?”

“Would a normal man blush and shift his gaze when they saw another man’s arms? Others wouldn’t think that there was something wrong with the latter; they would only feel that the former had abnormal feelings towards the latter. That’s why...”

It wouldn’t matter if men of the current era had completely bare arms.

Wei Ci’s face was growing gloomier and gloomier. He secretly clenched his fists in his sleeves.

He did not leave, so Jiang Pengji stayed where she was and could not help but grow even more curious about him. “It seems like you came to look for me,” she said firmly. “If this was to happen on a normal day, you would’ve flourished your sleeves and left already if I were to provoke you like this. You wouldn’t have stayed... Say it. What’s up?”

Wei Ci did not say a word.

The petals of the pear blossoms around them danced in the wind. There was no one around them. No one saw the unusualness between them.

The audience in the streaming room watched the entire scene and felt sorry for Wei Ci.

So far, the guys Jiang Pengji met were either bullied by her like a white rabbit and then she would lose interest in them, or they were in with each other. Both were not good.

Wei Ci was the only guy Jiang Pengji bullied every time she saw him. They did not know how Wei Ci felt, but they really felt sorry for him.

Laosiji Lianmeng: “Can you change your target?”

Host V: “I’m not willing to!”

The audience was speechless.

Wei Ci’s facial expression changed. In the end, he suppressed the feelings that were surging in his heart. “I’ve heard people say that your birthday falls on the Flower Festival, but you’ve never had a birthday party, nor have you invited friends, so I’m not sure about it.”

He once thought that the Flower Festival was her birthday. Every year on that day, the whole nation would join in the jubilation, but... He still had not forgotten the scene of her smashing all the gifts and driving out all her servants. No one dared to approach her. Wei Ci did not know why she acted that way and did not dare to ask about it. The fear still lingered in his mind. He did not know why but he suddenly had the courage to ask about it.

“The Flower Festival is indeed my birthday.” Jiang Pengji smiled and blinked her eyes. There seemed to be something wrong with her answer; however, it did not matter much. After all, was she not Liu Xi?

That was what Wei Ci had expected.

“Are you here to give me a present?” Over the past few years that Jiang Pengji had been in Langye, she had celebrated her birthday just by eating the longevity noodles. She did not hold birthday celebrations that were showy and unsubstantial. At the most, she would have lots of food on the day and dress herself in new clothes.

“Yes,” Wei Ci responded gently. Jiang Pengji suddenly felt a bit guilty.

He came over to give her a birthday present, but she slammed him with words instead and made him choke with resentment... Thinking about it, she felt that Wei Ci did not have it easy.

“What is it?” Jiang Pengji asked directly.

Wei Ci did not feel offended. After all... she was just showing due respects.

“It’s a poor work of mine. It’s barely pleasing to the eye,” Wei Ci replied. He took out a very delicate pendant.

“Flowers?” Jiang Pengji took it from him. Several blooming flowers extended their petals. His sequence of ideas was brilliant. Looking at it from afar, it looked like a flower that had just fallen off its branch. She could not help but raise her eyebrows a little. “Your skills have improved significantly.”

The stones used were not of the highest grade, but Wei Ci made it himself. Although it was not expensive, it was the heart that mattered.

In the past few years that she had been in the Langye Academy, Jiang Pengji had been invited to other people’s birthday parties. Most of the presents were the works of the students.

There were manuscripts, sculptures, paintings, and calligraphy... Friendships were important, but the values were fake.

The pendant gifted by Wei Ci could only be described as average. However... Jiang Pengji secretly took a glance at the bullet screens. Sure enough, a lot of them were ridiculing Wei Ci.

Bingtang Ningmeng: “The unseen blade is the deadliest. What does he mean by ‘It’s a poor work of mine. It’s barely pleasing to the eye?’”

Mouyi: “I’ve been learning how to carve for a few years. I can only feel wronged and cry alone.”

Jiang Pengji felt better.

Host V: “Don’t worry. I’ll take him on for you.”

In an instant, the bullet screens that ridiculed Wei Ci turned to bullet screens that felt sorry for him.

He was attacked before giving her the present, and he still was still attacked even after he gave her the present. How pitiful.

“Thank you.”

In another place, Wuniang worshipped the Flower God in a somewhat good mood. As usual, she prayed for her family and added another sentence at the end shyly, “I wish that I can find the true love of my life.”

The Flower Festival was indeed very lively. The young girls dressed in brightly colored clothes competed with each other for beauty. The young men who were clad in scholar’s costumes were a unique scene. Listening to the cadenced recitation in the gathering, Wuniang was thinking about her marriage.

She would have to forget about Wei Ci. They were not destined, so she could not force it. There were many young talents at the Flower Festival, but they were overshadowed by Wei Ci.

When she returned home, Wuniang was still worried about the matter.

Looking at how she was pouting, Master Yuan Jing could not help but smile. He asked, “Did you see anyone that you liked today?”

“No. They don’t compare to Brother Ci at all,” Wuniang answered.

Seeing that her husband was so out of line, Master Yuan Jing’s wife suddenly felt a bit angry. “Who teaches their daughters like this? I’m really afraid that no one dares to propose to her when she’s 15 years old. How can you let her make her own decisions?”

Master Yuan Jing replied, “Why do you have to be so worried? So what if no one proposes to her? Am I, an old man, incapable of supporting Wuniang?”

His wife was mad. “You know that you’re old. How long can you protect Wuniang? Rather than making good plans for her, you’re giving her trouble instead.”

Master Yuan Jing was an erudite and eloquent man, but he did not dare to talk back to his wife. He secretly glanced at his daughter, only to see that Wuniang was grinning at him. She was watching the show with excitement.

Master Yuan Jing craned his neck. After making sure that his wife was gone, he then turned around and asked his daughter, “There are so many young talents. Are you really not interested in any of them?”

“There’s someone, but... I don’t know if he’s married.”

“Oh? Who is it?”

“Liu Xi. He’s about as old as me. He’s funny, too. He doesn’t seem as horrible as the rumors depict him to be.”

Master Yuan Jing was speechless.

Wait a second. Old people were a bit hard of hearing... Who did his daughter like?
