"Ah Ying, please make me fish soup tonight. I haven't had the fish soup you made for a long time. I miss it very much."

"Young master, you have never caught a fish since you started, so where can you get the fish to make soup?"

Xiao Zijian shook the fishing rod and said, "Aying, why are you so rigid? Whether I can catch fish or not has anything to do with drinking fish soup. You can go to the wet market and buy two."

"oh".

"Master, if you can't catch fish every time, why do you still like fishing?"

"I am a great talent, but I have to pretend to be elegant and elegant in order to suit my status. This is just like Jiang Taigong's fishing for those who want to take the bait."

"Master, I think you are just showing off on purpose."

"Ahem, Ah Ying, it's said that you can see through but don't tell the truth. Your behavior makes me very embarrassed."

Looking at the figure in the distance, Xiao Zijian chuckled and said, "The fish is hooked."

Aying glanced at the figure with a solemn expression, "Master, his identity"?

Xiao Zijian waved and said, "If you don't tell me, no one will know."

"But"? Aying frowned.

Xiao Zijian sighed, "Don't worry, you still can't believe in my abilities?"

A rare hint of worry appeared on Aying's face, "I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for my cousin."

Xiao Zijian chuckled, "There is wine today, and you are drunk now, and you will be worried tomorrow. Life is only a few decades, and after death, all the high and low will be dust. Ah Ying, compared to the changes of the sun and the moon, human life is too short, and there are many regrets.

It’s just wasted time due to hesitation.”

Aying looked at the calm water, thoughtfully.

"Master, actually Aying has something that she has been hiding in her heart for a long time. She wants to say it to you, but is afraid to say it to you."

Xiao Zijian looked at the visitor who was already very close and said calmly: "Aying, you go over there for a stroll."

Aying glanced at Lu Shanmin, breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, stood up, and walked towards the other side of the dam.

"I didn't expect you also like fishing." Lu Shanmin sat where Aying had been sitting just now.

Xiao Zijian chuckled and said: "To be precise, I like fishing. As for the fish, they don't seem to like me very much."

Lu Shanmin looked at the wide surface of the Chongxi River and thought about what he wanted to say in advance, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

"Brother Zijian's hometown is a big family in the northeast, right?"

"Haha, it's not really a big family, but it's a fact that it has very few assets, otherwise it wouldn't be able to afford me traveling around and spending money."

"Then how long are you going to stay in the East China Sea?"

Xiao Zijian sighed helplessly, "The main reason I came here this time is because Zixuan is in Donghai. My family has urged me several times. Maybe I won't have to wait long before I have to go back."

Xiao Zijian turned to look at Lu Shanmin, "Brother Shanmin, you asked me out, didn't you just ask me about my family situation?"

Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Zijian continued: "We hit it off right away, and in some ways we are extremely compatible. We are both broad-minded people. I recognized you as my friend the first time we met, otherwise I would not have tried my best to bring you and Zixuan together.

".

Lu Shanmin felt a little ashamed. What he had experienced during his time in Donghai made it difficult for him to trust someone easily. Even Xiao Zijian, who went to Donghai to visit relatives and regarded himself as a friend, was subconsciously on guard.

I really can't bear the words "broad-minded" as Xiao Zijian said.

"I have encountered some troublesome things recently, and you must know some of them. I have been holding them in my heart. After thinking about it, you are the only friend who is suitable for me to express my sorrows."

Xiao Zijian looked at Lu Shanmin with a smile, "What, you figured it out?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I have thought carefully about what you said to me. Zixuan is a rare good girl, so kind that it makes people feel distressed. Maybe as you said, Yaqian and Zixuan are just a matter of who comes first. If

I met Zixuan first, maybe I will really fall in love with her."

"However, I owe Yaqian too much. I can't abandon her. For her, I am willing to lose everything, even my life. If I choose Zixuan for a better life, whether it is for Yaqian or Zixuan or

It’s me, it’s an extremely cruel thing.”

"You must have understood the current predicament of the Zeng family from the news media. You are a member of a big family, so you should understand the undercurrents under the surface better than I do. Before, I originally thought about deliberately gaining Zixuan's favor.

Then they coerced the Ye family into joining the game to help the Zeng family

So. So last time in Maple Mountain, I was nice to Zixuan, intentionally or unintentionally. But during this time, I felt very uneasy. I found that I couldn't do it. Zixuan is innocent. She is such a good girl. I can't.

It would be unfair to hurt her just for Yaqian's sake."

Xiao Zijian chuckled, "So you put on a play with the Zeng family to draw out the enemy in the dark and paralyze them at the same time."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Brother Zijian is smart."

Xiao Zijian smiled, "But yesterday I saw the quarrel between you and Zeng Yaqian was so intense that it didn't look like an act."

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not acting."

Xiao Zijian lowered his head and laughed, and he didn't stop laughing for a long time, which made Lu Shanmin feel confused for a while.

"Brothers from the mountain people, my grandpa loved Zixuan the most since childhood. He said that she was transformed from the womb of a god. She could see through illusions at a glance and point directly to the essence of people's hearts. She was very mysterious. I used to be skeptical, but now I believe it."

.

Looking at the confused Lu Shanmin, Xiao Zijian said: "Shanmin, you are a gentleman. Compared with you, those scholars who read poetry and books and think they are noble are just villains. If I were a woman, I would also fall in love with you."

Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly, "I'm not as good as you said."

Xiao Zijian smiled and shook his head, "The difference is that Zixuan can tell intuitively that you are a gentleman, but I only know that you are a gentleman by gradually getting to know you through a series of your words and deeds. This is just like the one in India

Ramanujan, the intuitionist mathematician, while others arrived at the results through step-by-step calculations and deductions, he could directly obtain the results without knowing the process. There really are such people in the world."

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zijian, thank you for your kindness. I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time."

Xiao Zijian shook his head and said: "No, not only am I not disappointed, but I am very glad that I did not misjudge the person. In the past, I didn't care about your purpose at all, and I didn't care much about what kind of person you were. As long as Zixuan is happy. Now

I really think you are worthy of Zixuan."

He looked at Lu Shanmin with a curious look on his face, "It's just that you made such a decision, then how do you solve the Zeng family's problem?"

Lu Shanmin looked at Xiao Zijian blankly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "This is exactly what I came for. I hope brother Zijian can help me."
