Sweetness

"Who did you hear it from?" Xu Qingning asked unhurriedly.

Her voice was deep and she couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger. For a while, no one dared to speak, and even stopped playing cards. Pan Chen replied instead: "...Grandpa Xu said it was his grandson-in-law?"

As soon as the grandson's daughter-in-law came out, it was self-evident.Although they are only guesses, they are not blind guesses.

The only time they saw Tian Tian was because of Xu Qingning, especially since he was quite protective at the time, if it wasn't her, could it be someone else?

"My second sister's." Xu Qingning said lightly, took a sip of lemonade, remained silent for a long time, and then warned: "Don't go out and talk nonsense."

Everyone hurriedly made a gesture of zipping.

"I'm going to change clothes, you continue." Xu Qingning said and entered the inner bedroom.

The table continues.

When Xu Qingning came out after changing her clothes, the group of people opened the blackout curtain of the small balcony at some point, and the glare was dazzling. She squinted her eyes and looked downstairs, then continued to sit, and kicked someone who was still playing cards. The person: "Isn't there a rest room? You even came to my room to play cards and scold you when your skin itches?" You can tell that it was this person who instigated it.

The person who was kicked shouted: "The conscience of heaven and earth! Auntie asked us to wake you up and play cards by the way, right Pan Chen?" He asked for help.

Pan Chen responded with a smile: "Yes."

In fact, Chai Peiyun only asked her to wake Xu Qingning up, but it was too boring for this group of people to stay in the lounge and stare at the elders and younger generations, so they all came here in a swarm.

Xu Qingning's place has always been a clean place for banquets.

Adults will not bother you, and children will not come to make noise, you can play however you want, and Xu Qingning takes the lead, it can be said to be the best choice for banquets and dinners.The family members all know each other, and there are often banquets and dinners. They basically hang around Xu Qingning, and it has become a habit for so many years.

Xu Qingning pretended to believe them, and didn't pursue them for disturbing people's dreams, got up and walked to the small balcony.

Only then did she realize that it was getting late.

The banquet venue, which was still messy in the morning, has changed now.

The entire banquet venue is arranged according to the above-ground river in the Wangfu Garden. The decorated flower balls along both sides of the river stretch around the entire front yard, and the branches are covered with colorful lights and balloons.More than a dozen small white round tables are placed in a chaotic and orderly manner, and all kinds of snacks are available for anyone to take.Barbecue, freshly ground coffee, gazebos and champagne towers on the promenade coexist weirdly and harmoniously with the birthday party in the palace garden.

Xu Qingning's eyes were attracted by the skillful skills of the two barbecue masters in the big grassland on the other side of the river. She seemed to be able to smell the smell of meat from a long distance away. She was a little hungry.

Just about to go downstairs to look for food, I saw two familiar figures.

Her grandfather led Tian Tian to the barbeque at some point, took a white plate and put some pieces of grilled meat for her, and handed it to her, his eyes lit up, expecting her reaction.Tian Tian tasted it, and seemed to say something, a smile broke out on her grandfather's face.

Xu Qingning was suddenly jealous.

This little old man!Usually when she ate barbecue, he would scold the junk food angrily, and when it was Tian Tian's turn to eat it, he would ask someone to bake it for her to taste?

Can this distinction be made more obvious?She knew for whom this banquet was arranged like this.

In a blink of an eye, several people came forward to chat, perhaps out of politeness, Tian Tian stopped chewing, her cheeks bulging, like a little hamster.

Grandpa seemed to be introducing her, Tian Tian smiled at those people, the smile touched the flesh on her cheeks, a little stiff, and turned into a small hamster with a forced smile.

Xu Qingning was amused by this scene, turned around and closed the door of the small balcony, and shouted at the few people who were still playing cards: "Go, go down and eat."

Someone raised his hand: "Finish this game."

"Alright." Xu Qingning went into the bedroom and changed into a pair of wrist-wrapped crystal sandals.

When they came out, the group had just finished fighting, and Xu Qingning waited for them to clean up. Before leaving, Pan Chen suddenly said, "Tomorrow, Zhou Bai will meet at the Green Island Hotel for the school entrance banquet. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Xu Qingning really forgot.She was speechless for a while: "...tomorrow?"

"Ah." Seeing her reaction, Pan Chen understood, stopped and asked her, "What's the matter?"

Before Xu Qingning could speak, the people walking in front heard the conversation and stopped, shouting: "I have to! If you don't go, Zhou Bai will be so proud, she should really think you are afraid of her."

"I'm afraid of her ass!"

Xu Qingning retorted, but she still hesitated in her heart, unable to make up her mind.She does have something to do tomorrow, Luo Hailing is asking Xiaoshanren to go out to play.

Pan Chen: "What's the matter? Is it important?"

Xu Qingning scratched her head: "It's quite important..." If she is not careful, it will affect the rest of her life.

"I'll read to you Zhou Bai's speech in the class two days ago." Someone took out his mobile phone and said vividly: "This Friday is my college entrance banquet. For everyone to eat, drink and have fun, I decided to have a Our own hotel, Green Island Hotel. You can tell me in advance what you want to eat, and I will ask the staff to prepare anything. You must come, but you are not allowed to come. If you don’t know or it’s inconvenient to come, I will let you My father sent someone to pick you up, including pick-up and delivery."

Xu Qingning was amused by that eccentric academic accent, and scolded him: "——Why are you so indebted!"

"I don't owe it!" He looked surprised: "Zhou's vernacular has already been said like this, but you can still bear the sourness?"

Xu Qingning calmly said, "There's nothing I can't bear."

In fact, she and Zhou Bai didn't have much conflict, it was the girl who always regarded her as an imaginary enemy.

As for students, the comparison is grades.Every time she took the exam, she was just a few points higher than her, and after a long time, her taste changed a little.Zhou Baiming insulted her secretly, seeing that she ignored her, and with the arrogance of a bully, he insulted the group of scumbags around her.But she is good at dancing, and she is also a celebrity in front of the teacher. It is common to have personal enmity under public announcements during cleaning and so on. Naturally, the group of scumbags around her are not happy, and the nickname of "the second child of ten thousand years" is called out just like that.

Inexplicably, Xu Qingning was declared war.

She was actually not very willing to participate in this kind of meaningless fight, but Zhou Bai was clearly aiming at her, and none of the people around her had good grades, so she was naturally pushed to the forefront.

When the time was pushed to the college entrance examination, Xu Qingning was impartial and a little higher than her. It stands to reason that this war should end with the end of the college entrance examination and Xu Qingning's victory, but the girl accidentally learned that Xu Qingning had applied for a university in this city. Arrogant arrogance rose again.

She applied for the number one university in the country, and the school ranked higher than Xu Qingning's university.

She feels she has won.

Originally, the college entrance examination scores were used to prepare for filling in the application form. No matter how high the score was, what was the use? Otherwise, she was not admitted to the top university in the country.

As soon as his arrogance became arrogant, he began to lose his temper. From time to time, he lamented a few words about the results of the college entrance examination in the class, and occasionally forwarded some must-read articles for the freshmen of that school in the circle of friends, as if he was already a winner.

The scumbags couldn't stand this pretentious appearance again, but Xu Qingning was surprisingly calm.

If you want to use Pan Chen's words for this calmness, it's that Xu Qingning didn't take Zhou Bai seriously, and she didn't regard her as an opponent at all.

Xu Qingning still should eat and drink, they are so angry that they are scratching their heads, they are not angry, they say a few words that intensify the conflict from time to time, and it is easy to provoke Xu Qingning to nod and agree to go to the school entrance banquet, but something happened...?

No problem!

Even Xu Qingning, who is a knife in the sky, has to go, and must go to give them a place for these scumbags!

If you can't be hard, you can be soft——

Someone started acting coquettishly: "Go, let's go, how boring is the dinner party without Suan Zong, and how lonely the days without Suan Zong are."

Someone kidnapped morality: "If Ah Suan doesn't go, I won't go either. I can't bear Zhou Bai's ridicule, and I don't want to make fun of myself."

Some people are still threatening: "Didn't Zhou Bai say that we will pick you up and deliver it? Why don't you let Zhou Bai send a car here to pick up A Suan, and let her see the magnificent mansion of A Suan's family, so that she won't have to take her dilapidated house every day?" The hotel is talking about it."

"—Get away!" Xu Qingning scoffed at the man.

The old man didn't like her talking about her status the most. If he wanted to let him know that he was living like an arrogant and domineering second-generation ancestor outside, he would have to scold him again.

A group of people were still looking at her, Xu Qingning couldn't help but be stared at her, so she said perfunctorily: "Okay, go, go!"

"Oh yeah." Everyone cheered and ran away.

Xu Qingning frowned at the thought of tomorrow.

**

The lively atmosphere of the banquet lasted until very late.

Tian Tian was basically by the old man's side throughout the night, and Xu Qingning looked at her several times and she was smiling like a mascot.

If Xu Qingning was still confused at the beginning, then after tonight, she could basically figure out what the old man meant.The so-called birthday party is just a step to introduce Tian Tian.

Even the identity of grandson's daughter-in-law is just a connection between him and Tian Tian.

The old man doesn't care which grandson or granddaughter's daughter-in-law it is.It could be her, the second sister, or even the eldest sister.

This made Tian Tian's strategy plan possible. There seemed to be a fire burning in Xu Qingning's chest. As long as Tian Tian and her second sister were matched together, she would be able to escape!

Thinking of tomorrow, Xu Qingning even felt that she shouldn't go to the school entrance banquet, and nothing is as important as Tian Tian now.

She opened the notebook and continued to write the strategy plan, her eyes fell on the line 'how to keep Tian Tian', and she encountered difficulties.

... how to stay?

There was a sudden knock on the door. Xu Qingning was startled, and the tip of the pen drew a mark on the paper. She clicked her tongue impatiently, locked the notebook in the drawer, got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the person who had made her extremely difficult just now.

Xu Qingning put her hand against the door frame: "What's the matter?"

Tian Tian looked up at her, pursed her lips, and bit each word very lightly and slowly: "Sister Xu has something to leave, I still have makeup on my face, she asked me to come to you to help remove it."

Xu Qingning's gaze stayed on Xiao Shanren's face for a few seconds, the lights in the corridor were extremely bright, her skin was as white and translucent as jade under the light, and she didn't speak, just looked at her timidly with clear eyes, so that she could hardly say no If so, there is no reason for refusal.

She turned sideways: "Come in."

Tian Tian followed Xu Qingning into the inner bedroom, Xu Qingning asked her to sit in front of the mirror, poured some makeup remover on a cotton pad, and said, "Turn around and let me have a look."

Tian Tian turned around and raised her chin slightly to look at her.

Xu Qingning looked around her eyes and lips, her mind was empty for two seconds, and mechanically poured some makeup remover, and said in a muffled voice, "Close your eyes first."

Tian Tian did as she said.

Xu Qingning gently pinched her chin with her fingers, and began to remove the makeup on her eyes. After wiping for a while, she became confused, and she didn't know where to put her eyes.

The distance was so close that she could clearly see her extremely thin eyelids, long and curly eyelashes, and the tiny fluff on the tip of her nose.

Xu Qingning was rarely distracted.

Maybe it was because she hadn't moved for a long time, Tian Tian suddenly opened her eyes, her clear pupils met her gaze, Xu Qingning explained in a daze: "...it's a little difficult to remove."

"Sorry." Tian Tian closed her eyes again.

After removing the eye area in one go, the cotton pad was still quite clean, and the excuse that it was difficult to remove was really lame. Fortunately, the person in front of him didn't understand anything, so Xu Qingning couldn't remove it any longer.She changed a cotton pad, dipped it in lotion and handed it to her: "You do it yourself."

Tian Tian was confused: "Huh?"

"It's like washing your face, just wipe it clean."

Tian Tian took it hesitantly, and wiped it slowly in front of the mirror. Xu Qingning stopped aside, her eyes fell from high to low, and fell on the back of her fair neck covered by the ponytail.

She found that the neck of the man in front of her was really beautiful, slender and long, white and elegant, like a swan.

Realizing what she was thinking, Xu Qingning was very disgusted, and she didn't know where the impulse came from. She pulled the hair tie back with her hand, and her smooth hair fell down like a black waterfall.

There was a few seconds of silence in the room——

Xu Qingning pinched the hair tie, confused.She was just thinking about seeing what is out of sight...

Tian Tian dropped the cotton pad in shock, turned to look at her, Xu Qingning returned the hair ring to her, cleared her throat a little uncomfortable, and said, "You look better with your hair down."

The author has something to say: Tiantian: You just pull my rubber band because it looks good?
