Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

“Young Master Lin Yi is indeed extraordinary. Yun Che admires him. In fact, I have no ill intentions. It’s just that I saw that Young Master has an extraordinary temperament and wanted to make friends with him.”

“As for the gift, I just want to express my sincerity. Since you have made your decision, Yun Che should respect it.” Yun Che said with a sincere tone and clear eyes.

“Oh, you said you wanted to make friends with me~ I’m sorry, I don’t think that’s your purpose.” Shi Qi looked at Yun Che with an expression that said, “I don’t believe you.”

Yun Che's smile remained gentle upon hearing this, but a subtle hint of deep meaning flashed through his eyes. He gently raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Mr. Lin Yi, you are overthinking. Yun Che really wants to make friends with you. If you feel that this place is inconvenient, why don't we find a quiet place and sit down to talk slowly, how about that?"

Shi Qi pondered in his heart, but remained calm on his face. He nodded gently: "Okay, since Master Yun Che is so kind, Lin Yi will not refuse it. Master, please lead the way."

Following Shi Qi's agreement, Yun Che's face once again showed that gentle and charming smile. He walked lightly forward, leading Shi Qi through the alley and arriving at an elegant garden located on the outskirts of the city.

This garden is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, as if it is a paradise on earth, with pavilions and towers scattered around, gurgling water under small bridges, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

“This place is called ‘Jinglan Garden’. It’s where I cultivate my character on a daily basis. I hope Master Lin Yi will like it.” Yun Che introduced it, with a hint of pride and expectation in his tone.

Shi Qi looked around and couldn't help but admire in her heart that such a place was indeed suitable for quiet conversation. She followed Yun Che into the garden and came to a small pavilion built by the water and sat down.

“Master Yun Che, we have only just met, yet you are so frank with me. It is truly rare. But Lin Yi has some doubts in his heart, and I hope you can answer them.” Shi Qi went straight to the point and decided to face his doubts directly.

Yun Che smiled slightly, as if he had expected her to ask this question, and said, “Mr. Lin Yi, please feel free to speak. Yun Che will tell you everything he knows.”

“Okay, then I’ll be frank. Master Yun Che, you are of a prominent status, why do you want to make friends with a nobody like me? Besides, your sincerity seems hard to convince people with just a gift.” Shi Qi’s words were sharp, but polite.

Yun Che's expression did not change when he heard this. He just sighed softly and said, "Master Lin Yi, do you know that everything in this world has its value? Although you modestly call yourself a nobody, in Yun Che's eyes, you have a unique brilliance. As for sincerity, how can it be measured by a mere gift? Yun Che is willing to treat you with sincerity, and time will prove everything."

"However, if you say you are a nobody, Lin Yi is being a little too modest. If I am not mistaken, the clothes you are wearing and the accessories around your waist are only available in Fengnan Country! And they can only be used by the royal family of Fengnan Country. I wonder which prince you are."

“It doesn’t matter which prince I am. Doesn’t Zhongzhou not care about identity? What’s more, I’m not a powerful person in Zhongzhou. I’m just from the small Fengnan Kingdom. People from Zhongzhou shouldn’t take me seriously!” When Shi Qi saw that Yun Che pointed out her identity, she openly admitted that she was indeed from Fengnan Kingdom.

"Mr. Lin Yi, you are too kind. Although the people of Zhongzhou value strength and talent, they never look down on any knowledgeable person."

“Fengnan Country and Zhongzhou are on good terms, and its royal family members are even more noble and extraordinary. It is my honor that you have condescended to come here.” Yun Che’s words revealed his respect and understanding for Shi Qi’s identity.

He gently poured two cups of tea, handed one to Shi Qi, and continued, "As for the intention of making friends, it is indeed from the heart. Yun Che has always admired people with talent and ambition. Although you are in a foreign country, your extraordinary temperament and conversation make Yun Che deeply admire you."

Shi Qi took the teacup, gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and then placed the teacup steadily on the table. With a faint smile on his lips and a hint of amusement in his eyes, he said, "Thank you. But, Master Yun Che, why are you following me?"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across Yun Che’s face. He coughed lightly and explained with a twinkling look in his eyes, “The reason I followed you, young master, is actually because… well… I’ve never seen someone with a unique temperament like you, so… I’m curious.” As he spoke, he touched the tip of his nose unconsciously, appearing a little embarrassed.

Shi Qi chuckled, "I'm not asking you about that. What I'm asking is, why did you keep staring at me when I bought this jade pendant?"

"Besides, after I bought it, you followed me and wouldn't leave." As she said that, Shi Qi took out the jade pendant she had just bought at the antique stall. She gently shook the jade pendant in her hand as she spoke.

Yun Che's eyes fell on the jade pendant. He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and said, "To be honest, sir, that jade pendant... is actually an heirloom in my family. I saw you holding it in front of the antique stall, and I couldn't help but follow you." Shi Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he was quite surprised by the answer.

She stared at Yun Che, trying to tell the truth from his expression. Yun Che met her gaze and said solemnly: "I don't want to take back the jade pendant, I just want to know why it appeared in your hands. If you are willing to tell me, Yun Che will be grateful."

Shi Qi was silent for a moment, "Oh, didn't you see it? I found this jade pendant by chance at an antique stall. I thought it was quite special at the time, so I bought it."

After hearing this, Yun Che showed a relieved expression on his face. He smiled and said, "I see, maybe this is fate. The young master and the jade pendant are destined to be together, and I am also destined to be with the young master."

Shi Qi smiled and said nothing. Then he heard Yun Che say, "Master Lin Yi has just arrived in Zhongzhou and is not familiar with the road conditions here! Why don't I take you for a walk?"

Shi Qi shook his head and said, "No, thank you for your kindness, sir. I've been out for a while and it's time to go back." After saying that, Shi Qi stood up and prepared to leave.

Yun Che also stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

Shi Qi heard this and waved his hand gently, "No need, I know the way."

Seeing this, Yun Che no longer insisted and just nodded slightly, “Since that’s the case, Yun Che will say goodbye here. If Master Lin Yi needs anything in Zhongzhou in the future, just let him know, and Yun Che will definitely do his best to help.”

“Thank you, Master Yun Che. I appreciate your kindness. If there is a chance, we will definitely meet again.” After saying that, Shi Qi turned around and left with brisk steps.

Yun Che watched Shi Qi's back as he thought to himself, "Does this person know about the jade pendant, or is it just a coincidence..."
