Li Tangtang, Yuan Boyuan, Luo An who had not seen each other for a while and suddenly looked quite haggard, and a few people who had not been close to each other were all sitting at a round table…
After sending the message, Li Xiangfu raised his eyes, looked around and raised his eyebrows. Said: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
This is not an engagement party, it is clearly a social gathering.
“What do you mean by calling a group of people to fight?” As the target, he sneered, thinking in his mind what it meant to bully the weak with more, and this was it.
Li Shasha: “Master Kongzhi of the Shaolin School once presided over a dragon-slaying conference.”
Li Xiangfu was silent for a moment: “Li Shasha.”
“Huh?”
“Nine years of compulsory education, don’t miss one year.”
“…”
After warning the careless system, Li Xiang put his hand on his chin and turned his face to Qin Jin again: “How did you retain your memory later?”
Qin Jin: “When you really want to do something, you can always find a way.”
The understatement made Li Xiangfu’s heart skip a beat for some reason. He looked away and said, “What is it then?”
“One day, you suddenly appeared.” Qin Jin’s calm voice had a slight fluctuation: “And I made a mistake. ”
Li Xiangfu subconsciously asked: “Is this the kind of mistake that all men in the world will make?”
“…”
Qin Jin: “It is the mistake that every drowning person will make.”
During the dying struggle, he saw someone swimming towards him, trying to survive. Desire plays a role, forcing the other person to sink together.
At this point, he was slightly dazed, and instead of talking about this past event, he talked about another past event.
…
To use a very absurd metaphor, the friendship between Li Xiangfu and Qin Jiayu burns brighter than a man and woman in love.
After being taught a lesson by his family, Li Xiangfu had to settle down for a period of time. He missed his classes, but he still did his homework. One day, while everyone at home was away, he took the initiative to invite people to the villa as guests.
Ever since he noticed Li Xiangfu’s strange attitude towards Qin Jiayu, Qin Jin inevitably paid more attention and did not refuse.
On a sunny afternoon, Li Xiangfu and Qin Jiayu were copying each other’s homework on the second floor. Because staying in the same space with Qin Jiayu for a long time would feel suffocating, he stood alone in the courtyard watching the fountain.
A brand new pencil was suddenly thrown from the small window and hit Qin Jin firmly on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw the young man upstairs smiling swaggeringly, muttering: “Sorry, my hand slipped.”
However, not long after, another paper airplane was thrown down.
…
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Recovering from the past, Qin Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly: “This is what you looked like back then.”

Li Shasha muttered: “Dad, before being sentenced to death for throwing objects from high altitudes, Pan Jinlian met Ximen Qing like this.”

Qin Jin shook his head slightly.
Without waiting for an answer, Li Xiangfu just symbolically uttered a monosyllabic ‘Hmm,’ to convey doubts.
“I don’t know the details, but you probably destroyed his most important thing.” Qin Jin: “At that time, you tried your best to send me goodwill…” His eyes fell on the chicken soup on the table, and he said, “Like an old hen protecting its young. , as if he will not give up until he pulls the person out of the swamp.”
“…”
At this point, Li Xiangfu finally understood where he got the lesson that “sympathy can make people fly to the flame more than admiration”.
It turned out that he was the one who was fluttering.
The half-full glass swayed, and the newlyweds in front exchanged drinks of the engagement wine, and the audience burst into warm applause.
Li Xiangfu suddenly said: “Maybe I should take a longer-term view.”
Qin Jiayu is undoubtedly a profit-seeker with a twisted personality, so what he does should not only be for revenge, but that is too superficial for him.
Qin Jin raised his eyebrows: “How far do you want to go?”
“Fifty centimeters.” After saying that, he glanced at Li Shasha beside him.
After the kidnapping failed in Tianxi Ancient Village, Qin Jiayu asked Chen Ran to try to abduct Li Shasha in private, perhaps hoping to get something from him.
At this moment, Li Shasha was lying on the table, looking very sleepy. Seeing Li Xiangfu considering whether to take him out of the table early, Li Shasha suddenly said: “Stone.”
“Stone?”
Li Shasha put his forehead on his arm, legs dancing in mid-air, his eyes were fixed on the particularly rich-colored floor.
Li Xiangfu followed him reflexively and took a look. The design of the floor was towards thick glass plates, filled with azure liquid, which echoed with the hanging hangings, creating a fairy tale feel like a dream palace.
With a move of his wrist, he deliberately knocked down the chopsticks on the table. When he lowered his head to pick them up, he bent down and looked down at the floor… Under the translucent floor, he could faintly see the outlines of some stones, pieced together like a cracked cement floor.
Li Xiangfu sat upright calmly. He didn’t know whether he bent down too hard and felt a little dizzy when he stood up.
After pondering for a long time, he searched online for news related to the venue and found that two months ago, Su Tao spent a huge sum of money to buy the ownership of the venue for an engagement party and then renovated it.
“There’s something odd on the floor,” remarked Li Xiangfu.
He glanced at Qin Jin, who was already on the phone, arranging for someone to investigate.
The individual Qin Jin contacted proved highly efficient, delivering results as swiftly as Su Tao cut the cake and made a wish. It appeared that these stones were initially extracted from a snow-capped mountain near Tianxi Ancient Village and subsequently transported from other locations in batches.
“This could be a significant expense…” Li Xiangfu calculated the shipping costs in his mind.
Qin Jin continued, “Over the past few years, I’ve delved into the area where your accident occurred and gathered numerous peculiar rumors. One of them relates to the mountain being dubbed Starfall Mountain.”
“Starfall?”
“It’s said that meteors once fell from the sky there. In those snowy mountains, meteorites are the only things found.”
Li Xiangfu’s interest piqued at this revelation; he hadn’t expected Qin Jiayu’s investigations to yield fruit. The concealed stone seemed to have minimal effects on people, as he experienced nothing more than slight dizziness.
Considering their physiological similarities to the other guests present, all human beings, he couldn’t help but cast a glance at Li Shasha.
Upon entering, the system displayed a drowsy state.
Seemingly grasping his concerns, Li Shasha reassured him, “I felt a bit uneasy earlier, but I’m much better now.”
After a pause, he added, “A lot, actually.”
Li Xiangfu furrowed his brow… What kind of metaphysical explanation was this?
Li Shasha ventured, “Maybe it’s karma?”
They exchanged a smile. Indeed, that could be the case.
Without glancing at them, Qin Jin stated matter-of-factly, “To conceal the stone beneath, there’s a glass platform in the center of the floor, with flowing liquid injected. If the meteorite does contain some form of energy, it’s blocked in this manner, with only a small amount seeping into the air.”
After a pause, he finally addressed Li Shasha, “You’re too short, and your legs are a tad stubby.”
“…”
“According to the original design, you should have your feet on the ground, gradually influencing people through proximity.”
Li Shasha lowered his head, examining the dangling calf in silence.
It wasn’t particularly harmful, but it was undeniably demeaning.
Concealed beneath the long red tablecloth, only a portion of the truth was revealed. Li Shasha, once again facing the table, maintained a relatively composed posture, occupying only a fraction of the chair. Moreover, he consistently wore a stoic, adult expression, making it difficult to discern, without close observation, that his feet didn’t touch the ground. Li Xiangfu observed Qin Jiayu, still interacting affectionately with his fiancée, and shook his head. “Even wise men can make mistakes.”
Qin Jiayu, unconsciously regarding Li Shasha as a typical child, disregarded common sense.
Li Shasha interjected, “Dad…”
“It’s not your fault for being short,” Li Xiangfu reassured, patting his head. “Sometimes, being short can be a lifesaver in critical moments.”
After exchanging engagement rings and hugging, Su Tao whispered: “Why is it so calm over there??”
Qin Jiayu frowned, Li Shasha kept lying on the table, looking very uncomfortable, but there was no deeper reaction.
[Find a way to get close to him.]
The system in the body that has not yet completely recovered did not provide a choice for the first time in a long time, but directly issued an order.
Qin Jiayu gave the emcee a hint, glanced at the dancers waiting to perform, and moved his hand to indicate that they could go on stage now.
When the show started, the lights dimmed instantly, and most eyes focused on the dance. Qin Jiayu walked around slowly from the empty area. When Li Xiangfu saw this, he covered his lips and whispered: “Pretend to be faint.”
Li Shasha immediately fluttered his eyelids, stiffened his body, and fell backwards with an expressionless face.
This acting skill… was only due to the dim lighting and no more details could be seen. Li Xiangfu caught him, pretended to be anxious and shook him casually twice, then turned to Qin Jin and said, “The child has heat stroke.”
Qin Jin: “There is a hospital nearby. ”
Li Shasha pretended to be unconscious and knocked over the teacup on the table. The noise was so loud that people at the surrounding tables looked over.
“What’s wrong?”
“A child fainted.”
“Is he okay?” Someone had already walked over.
Li Xiangfu put Li Shasha on Qin Jin’s back, and then looked around: “Can someone please help drive me? The hospital is nearby, and the ambulance will be delayed easily.”
“I’ll take you there.” Someone immediately stood, enthusiastic.
The engagement party became noisy, and Su Tao walked quickly to Qin Jiayu: “The exhibition hall has arranged manpower…”
Before she could finish her words, she stopped talking because of Qin Jiayu’s gaze.
Qin Jiayu glanced at her coldly: “There are guests going with them, why do you want to stop them?”
A slight delay is equivalent to handing the handle to Li Xiangfu. If Li Xiangfu turns around and yells at them, accusing them of delaying treatment, they will become the target of public criticism. Qin Jiayu frowned. This situation was completely different from what the system said.
There was no reason for that kid to be so sick like he was in a coma.
In the parking lot, Li Xiangfu sat in the back seat with Li Shasha in his arms. He asked about the identity of the person who helped them, and then turned around to send a thank you gift.
On the way, Li Shasha woke up and took the initiative to sit up straight. She saw Li Xiangfu sending messages to Qin Jiayu, which were all useless and harsh words, such as ‘I will make you pay the price’ and so on.
He blinked and felt that this scene seemed familiar. Then he thought about the time when Li Xiangfu pretended to have lost his memory when he pretended to have amnesia, he was pointing at him from the moral high ground like this.
Author’s Note:
Small Theater:
One day, in order to help Li Xiangfu regain his memory, Qin Jin reenacted the scene and threw an unsharpened pencil at him.
Li Xiangfu turned around, picked up the pencil, and curled his lips slightly: “How are you?”
Qin Jin:……
thank you for the chapter!
