Meeting Miss Cui was an accident. They met unexpectedly by the river. They probably didn't expect it, and neither of them wanted to.
Today, the relationship between Li Qinzai and Cui Jie is a bit complicated.
They are nominally an unmarried couple, but in reality they are very separate and eccentric. On the surface, they treat each other politely, but in their hearts, they both despise each other. More importantly, they both know that the other despises them.
Show your politeness to the outside and bury your contempt in your heart, but it is not buried so deep that people can see it at a glance.
Only the parties involved probably know how complicated this relationship is.
The river beach is said to be a holy place for romance. It is said that a certain senior successfully hooked up with the princess on the river beach.
But at this moment, Li Qinzai had no intention of hooking up with Cui Jie, and even thought Cui Jie was a bit redundant.
If it were an ancient painting, Cui Jie would be Qianlong's random stamps. If it were a pot of soup, Cui Jie would be the rat excrement. If it were the solar system, Cui Jie would be the one who passes by once every seventy-six years.
Halley's Comet...
No matter what the metaphor is, in short, Li Qinzai wants to drive people away. He hates being disturbed when he is alone, especially a person who is full of contempt for him in his heart.
Looking up at the sky, Li Qinzai suddenly sighed: "It's getting late. You must have forgotten to turn off the fire when you went out, right? Go back and take a look, don't burn the house down..."
Cui Jie was stunned.
This dude's way of chasing people away is really... so tactful.
In fact, Cui Jie had planned to leave. She was not used to being alone with a man, especially since this man was a notorious Dandy from Chang'an and was her nominal fiancé.
But just when she was about to say goodbye, Li Qinzai took the initiative to chase her away.
This...cannot be tolerated.
After all, Cui Jie is a young lady from a wealthy family. She has been well-educated and well-educated since she was a child. Everyone she comes into contact with is polite and well-educated. She has never been driven away so harshly.
Whether it was a rebellious mentality or the arrogance of a famous family, Cui Jie only knew that whoever left at this time would lose.
So Cui Jie, who had originally planned to say goodbye, did not leave. Instead, she squatted next to Li Qinzai's little horse, snorted, and stared at the fishing rods on the river in a daze.
Now Li Qinzai felt uncomfortable.
Can’t Madam Gua understand what people say? Or, the way she chased people away just now was really too tactful, and she didn’t hear it?
"Aren't you going back yet?" Li Qinzai couldn't help but ask.
Cui Jie hummed softly and said, "Can't I stay here and look at the scenery?"
Huh? I have quite a bad temper.
"You and I are alone, and I am a notorious dandy from Chang'an. Aren't you afraid that I will molest you?"
Cui Jie's shoulders shrank, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "Don't be afraid, I... I will scream!"
Li Qinzai sneered: "You scream, the more you scream, the more excited I get..."
Cui Jiemei's eyes flashed with fear: "You, you, you... don't mess around!"
Li Qinzai continued to smile evilly: "She is my fiancée anyway, right? My own mother-in-law, that doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants..."
"You, if you insult me, I, I will... I will throw myself into the river!"
Li Qinzai asked in surprise: "Would you rather throw yourself into the river than run home?"
Cui Jie hesitated, "Yeah, why don't you run back and throw yourself into the river?"
Then Cui Jie understood that this dude was deliberately scaring her to make her leave.
Bad guy!
Cui Jie immediately calmed down and rolled her eyes at him.
"I...I want to buy a fish from Brother Li Shi. That's why I came here just now." Cui Jie said softly.
"You want to eat fish?"
"It's not me, it's my maid Congshuang." Cui Jie showed a gentle and doting smile on her lips: "My life with her... was not very satisfactory. The girl was greedy. She said she hadn't eaten meat in a long time.
, I just passed by here and saw someone fishing, so I came over to ask."
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that since he wanted to buy fish, he was a customer.
When it comes to treating customers, Li Qinzai's mentality is not so repulsive.
"I'm good at fishing. Just wait a moment and I'll catch you a fat one right away..." Li Qinzai said and glanced at her bamboo basket.
"I don't want your money, because you don't have any money at all. Just use the mountain products you picked in exchange for mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Give me whatever you want. I'll make a plate of vegetables when I get home."
Cui Jie smiled happily and said, "Okay."
Fishing is a job that requires patience and luck.
The two of them were silent at the river beach. Cui Jie stared at the river longingly, expecting the fish to take the bait. Li Qinzai was there, looking calm and in control.
Half an hour after burning the incense, the river was calm and calm. Not to mention the fish biting the hook, not even a single bubble was caught.
Li Qinzai gradually felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Cui Jie also glanced at him with some confusion and said cautiously: "Brother Li Shi... you haven't fished before, have you? It seems... not very good."
Li Qinzai's cheeks suddenly turned red.
The last time I barbecued Qiaoer by the river, I used tools to catch fish, but this time I was fishing. The technical content of the two is different.
Cui Jie's words hurt her self-esteem, just like a senior gamer being called a noob by a primary school student in Peace Elite.
There are two dangers in a man's life that he cannot touch, one is in bed and the other is in games.
You absolutely cannot say that he is incompetent in these two places, otherwise it would be a huge insult.
Fishing is also a man's game, and Li Qinzai felt offended.
Just when she was about to get angry, Cui Jie was so stubborn that she actually gave her a stabbing blow.
"Brother Li Shi, how about I... go back?"
After Cui Jie stood up, Li Qinzai suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Stop!"
Cui Jie stood obediently.
"Squat down!"
Cui Jie had no choice but to squat down.
"Just wait patiently. If I don't catch a fish today, neither of us will be allowed to leave!" Li Qinzai stared at the river with a livid face and gritted his teeth.
Cui Jie looked at him in astonishment, and then a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the smile disappeared in a flash.
This dude... doesn't seem that bad. He's even a bit... cute when he's angry?
If a woman discovers the cuteness of a man, then even if the woman does not like him, at least she will not be so defensive.
So Cui Jie squatted next to Li Qinzai, hugged his knees with his hands, and stared at the river with a serious and cute expression.
After a long silence, the fish still didn't bite the hook, and Li Qinzai's face became increasingly ugly.
Cui Jie looked indifferent. She didn't understand how persistent a man's desire to win was.
"Brother Li Shi, recently there are often children in Zhuangzi reciting "Hundred Family Surnames". It is said to be written by Li Shixiong?" Cui Jie asked the question that had been hanging in his mind for a long time.
Li Qinzai was still staring at the river and said in a very impatient tone: "Yes, how is it?"
Cui Jie said in surprise: "Really?"
"Shut up, it's just because you talk too much that the fish were scared away!" Li Qinzai angrily made excuses at random.
Anyway, it’s not that I’m not good at technology.
Cui Jie pouted slightly and snorted.
Li Qinzai competed with the fish in the river. Cui Jie's pretty face was unhappy, but she was very shocked in her heart.
Unexpectedly, "Hundred Family Surnames" was actually compiled by this playboy. After getting engaged to him, she sent someone to inquire about Li Qinzai in Chang'an City.
He has all sorts of faults and misdeeds, but I have never heard of him being so talented. Could it be that the people who were sent to inquire about him in the past missed the information by mistake?
Cui Jie had more and more questions in her mind, and she always felt that the information she had learned before was becoming increasingly unreliable.
If... what if Li Qinzai is not as bad as the news said, what if he still has some talents, what if he is not as bad as the legend says, then will this marriage be a good or bad thing for her?
bad?
After all, women are emotional. She can extend infinitely from a small matter and think deeply and far-reachingly.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw Li Qinzai's excited face, and the float on the river quickly sank.
"Bit the hook!" Li Qinzai stood up excitedly.
What the hell, why can’t it work? Who can’t do it? Brother, I’ll show you how to do it!
Li Qinzai put out the line very experiencedly and let the float sink to the bottom of the river. After waiting for a while, Li Qinzai stopped the fishing line and suddenly pulled the fishing line out of the river.
The fishing rod drew an arc in mid-air and fell to the grass by the river together with the fishhook.
Li Qinzai and Cui Jie hurriedly approached, and Cui Jie's expression suddenly became very strange. Li Qinzai's face was filled with shame and anger, and Cui Jie couldn't help but worry that he would throw himself into the river.
Something did bite, but it wasn't a fish...
Not daring to speak, Cui Jie looked at Li Qinzai's expression carefully.
After a long time, Li Qinzai said quietly: "I know there are four ways to cook crabs. Do you want me to teach you? It's free."
