After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Wan had no choice but to turn around and go into the main room.

Inside the hall.

Xie Lan sat at the round table, looking at Jiang Wan and motioning her to close the door.

Jiang Wan stared at him warily, thinking that Xie Lan was going to do something out of line to her.

A while ago, Xie Lan liked to touch her at every turn, and Jiang Wan thought about it carefully later.

I think Xie Lan has reached puberty and has desires and curiosity about the opposite sex.

Xie Lan is almost seventeen years old. In his previous life, he was at most a high school student, but in ancient times, he was already a father.

They were a single man and a single woman, spending time together alone and in close contact with each other, which inevitably made Xie Lan want to make some moves.

This was not Jiang Wan's imaginary thought, but a conclusion drawn based on Xie Lan's strange behavior a while ago.

Now Xie Lan wants to be alone with her in a room again. Who knows what Xie Lan is thinking?

If they really fight, Jiang Wan will definitely not be able to beat Xie Lan.

But she has cheats in the trading mall, and if she takes two powerful pills, even if she can't beat Xie Lan, she can still run away, right?

Jiang Wan was lost in thought.

Xie Lan saw her in a daze, a little confused, and asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Wan blurted out: "Xie Lan, do you like me?"

"..."

Xie Lan was silent.

The air was unusually quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Wan opened his eyes slightly, turned around and slammed the door shut, then strode to the opposite side of Xie Lan, slapped the table, and tried to pretend to be calm and said, "Speak, are you mute?"

Xie Lan rarely looked directly at her, but instead stared at the gray ground.

"……No."

His voice was very low, seemingly down to the dust, and his usually cold and stinky face looked even more dull.

Jiang Wan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She guessed wrong. How could Xie Lan like her?

The original owner's attitude towards him was so bad at the beginning, and it hurt him so deeply that all the affection they had for each other in their childhood was completely wiped out.

Even though Jiang Wan took over the original owner's body and worked hard to change her image in Xie Lan's mind, the two were able to get along well, like partners and friends.

But Xie Lan won't fall in love with her.

In the original book, Xie Lan was heartless and desireless, and had never fallen in love with any woman.

Even when he was the top scorer in the imperial examination and ranked first, he remained unmoved in the face of the pursuit of many noble ladies from aristocratic families in the capital.

How could he fall in love with someone who had hurt him before?

There was a subtle sense of loss in a secret corner of his heart. Jiang Wan coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Oh, that's fine. What did you want to see me for?"

Hearing her normal tone, Xie Lan looked at her and said, "Didn't you ask me a lot of questions before, and I didn't answer you properly?"

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah...it's true. Why, are you going to tell me now? Aren't you afraid that I'll leak the secret?"

Her bright eyes blinked, revealing a bit of clear cunning.

Xie Lan curled his lips and said, "You won't."

His confident tone made Jiang Wan's ears blush.

"Okay, okay, stop dragging your feet and just say whatever you want to say!"

Seeing that she was a little flustered, Xie Lan's eyes were filled with a hint of smile.

"it is good."

"Let's talk about the first one first. Do you remember the time when we sent my uncle to Furen Hall for medical treatment?"

How could you not remember? Jiang Wan had a very deep memory.

She was extremely poor that time and had no money to buy antipyretic medicine for her father, so she could only ask Xie Lan to borrow money pitifully.

As a result, Xie Lan gave her the cold shoulder, forcing her to beg for a long time.

Thinking about it, Jiang Wan still felt a little resentful, and the look she gave Xie Lan was filled with resentment and slight anger.

Xie Lan sighed helplessly, as if he could see through Jiang Wan's thoughts, and said: "You had just changed your personality at that time. I didn't know whether you were pretending or really doing it. It was normal for me to be on guard against you."

Jiang Wan felt a little embarrassed when someone exposed her secret thoughts, and her eyes wandered around.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't care that you don't trust me."

Xie Lan smiled, "Okay, I don't mind."

His tone was full of doting and helplessness, which instantly dissipated the unhappiness in Jiang Wan's heart.

"What happened that time? Didn't you lend me money later? It's just a little late..."

As he was talking, Jiang Wan suddenly realized the problem, stared at Xie Lan and said, "Oh, right! That time you said you were going to the county, and you would have money when you came back. How did you get the money?"

Xie Lan said, "I went to the county pawnshop to pawn my mother's belongings."

"what?!"

Jiang Wan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What relic?"

"A jade pendant."

Xie Lan lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark and unclear.

"It was my mother's personal belonging, but when I was ten years old, she and my father had to go to Pingzhou for work. Before leaving, she gave the jade pendant to me and asked me to keep it safe."

Jiang Wan remained silent for a long time, then murmured, "No wonder you were able to give me twenty-five taels of silver in one go, and even asked me to ask you for more when I didn't have enough. I'm curious about how you could come up with so much silver out of nowhere..."

"What happened next?" Jiang Wan asked, "Didn't you go and redeem it?"

Xie Lan shook his head, his tone somewhat heavy.

"I went there, but the pawnshop owner told me that the jade pendant had been taken away."

“What’s happening?”

Jiang Wan was angry and said, "What kind of lousy shopkeeper is this? You definitely wouldn't pawn something that you're dead, but he actually sold it to someone else so casually?!"

Xie Lan frowned, with a gloomy look between his brows.

"I said so, but the shopkeeper tried to evade me in every possible way, even offering to buy out my mother's jade pendant for five hundred taels. I refused and asked the shopkeeper who bought my jade pendant, but he couldn't tell me."

"So you're just going to let it go?"

Jiang Wan was anxious and said, "That's your mother's only relic, how can we not find it? No, you take me to the county town tomorrow, I want to go to that pawnshop and ask carefully!"

Seeing her anxious look, Xie Lan felt a little warm in his heart and said, "The pawnshop owner seemed very afraid to reveal the person behind the scenes. I went there a few times later and used some tricks, but the owner refused to say anything. I guess the money must have been taken away by some big shot."

Jiang Wan was speechless.

Big man?

A big shot likes Xie Lan's mother's relic? What kind of big shot would be interested in an ordinary jade pendant?

Jiang Wan frowned and thought, trying hard to recall the plot of the original book.

But because she was reading a book, her attention was on the original owner and she didn't care about Xie Lan at all.

As a result, she only had a vague understanding of Xie Lan's story line, and she couldn't think of any part of the plot involving him no matter how hard she tried.

After a while, she gave up and said, "Don't worry too much. Just keep investigating. One day you will find something."

Speaking of which, Xie Lan's plan to pawn his deceased mother's belongings had a lot to do with her.

If it wasn't for the emergency situation of saving Jiang Weiran, Xie Lan wouldn't have pawned the jade pendant for silver.

Xie Lan let go of the jade pendant issue a long time ago. He knew that nothing can be rushed. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose your composure.

He said, "Well, I'm slowly investigating, but I haven't heard anything yet."

Jiang Wan didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he skipped the question and said, "Besides the jade pendant, are there other things you are hiding from me?"
