Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

"Don't make a sound! I'm not here to kill you! This is all a misunderstanding." Ling Chuge hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Qin Nian didn't respond, Ling Chuge tried to speak, "You have met me, remember? A month ago, you came to my yard... to steal food."

Qin Nian seemed to remember and nodded slightly.

"Just remember it. The stab I gave you just now was all a misunderstanding. I will help you heal it."

After saying that, Ling Chuge tried to loosen the hand covering Qin Nian.

As expected, Qin Nian stopped shouting.

"I'm sorry. I didn't steal your food on purpose a month ago. I was really hungry. Don't kill me. I'll give you the food as compensation."

Qin Nian lowered her head when she spoke, so Ling Chuge couldn't see her expression, but just by listening to her tone, Ling Chuge could guess Qin Nian's cautious expression.

"You don't need to apologize, it's just a little pastry, nothing. What happened just now was all a misunderstanding. I won't kill you." Ling Chuge's guilt was almost written on his face.

"Thank you, you are such a good person." Qin Nian whispered.

When Qin Nian said this, Ling Chuge suddenly felt ashamed and ashamed.

A frail little girl was so hungry that she had to eat a few pastries from him, but he suspected that the girl had ulterior motives and even stabbed him.

"Well... you must be hungry. I'll get you some food." Ling Chuge was really embarrassed to stay any longer, so he hurriedly found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Ling Chuge, who was eager to escape, didn't notice that the moment he turned around, the 'soft and weak' girl's lips curled up into a winning smile.

After Ling Chuge left Qin Nian's hut, he hurried back to his yard and packed all the pastries he could find in food boxes.

After a while, Ling Chuge went out carrying a food box half a person's height.

"Senior Brother Ling? Where are you going?"

Ling Chuge, who was already feeling guilty, suddenly heard someone calling him and subconsciously wanted to hide the food box.

In such a panic, Ling Chuge even forgot that he still had a storage bag.

"Is...is something wrong?" Ling Chuge turned around stiffly and saw Jiang Ning walking towards him with a curious look on his face.

As early as when Qin Nian was stabbed by him, Ling Chuge had completely believed that Jiang Ning and Qin Nian were completely different people. Now that he saw Jiang Ning again, his only thought was to prevent others from discovering the immoral things he had done.

"Where are you going, Senior Brother Ling?" Jiang Ning walked over slowly with a smile on his face.The words spoken seemed to be just the most common greetings between brothers.

Ling Chuge subconsciously avoided Jiang Ning's eyes, fearing that something would be seen, and even his words became incoherent.

"I... took a walk, just a walk. Why is Junior Brother Jiang here?"

Jiang Ning took in Ling Chuge's guilty expression, slightly curved the corners of his lips, and pretended not to see the food box.

"Senior Brother Ling may not know that the cabin I live in is not far ahead."

Ling Chuge choked, "Yes...is it? Such a coincidence."

"I heard that there are only three people living in Xinziyuan. Apart from the two of us, there is also a girl. I thought that since we are all neighbors, we should move around more. I was about to visit her. Would Senior Brother Ling come with me?" Jiang Ning said deliberately.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Ling Chuge became visibly nervous.

"I... we two men, it's... so late, rashly visiting someone else's girl, wouldn't it be... not good? Otherwise, we'd better go another day."

"Well..." Jiang Ning didn't answer, seeming to be considering Ling Chuge's proposal.

Time passed little by little, and cold sweat broke out on Ling Chuge's forehead involuntarily.

"Okay then." Jiang Ning suddenly said, "Senior Brother Ling is right. It's getting late, so it would be rude for us to interrupt rashly."

"What I said is right." Ling Chuge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I will go back first, senior brother, you..."

"I'll take a walk again. Junior brother, please go back first."

"Okay, Senior Brother Ling, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Looking at Jiang Ning's walking back, Ling Chuge exhaled heavily.

In order to avoid running into Jiang Ning again, Ling Chuge counted the time and estimated that Jiang Ning had almost gone back before carrying the food box and walking towards Qin Nian's hut.

After knocking on the door and hearing Qin Nian's voice agreeing to let him in, Ling Chuge opened the door and entered.

On the small bed, Qin Nian had already changed his clothes.

The clothes that were originally pierced by a dagger and stained with blood were soaked in a wooden basin by Qin Nian.

Seeing this, Ling Chuge's guilt surged into his heart again.

"Um...I brought you some food. These clothes are torn, so don't take them. I have some money, you can use it to buy some new clothes." Ling Chuge took out all the money he had. took it out and placed it on the wooden table.

"Thank you, by the way, I don't know your name yet." Qin Nian asked suddenly.

Ling Chuge didn't dare to tell her her name, so she hurriedly left the elixir and said goodbye in a hurry.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Ling Chuge running away.

"You're so easy to deceive, but you're still a teenager after all."

[There should be no worries now. 】The system said.

"Go back." Jiang Ning got off the bed, took out the clothes from the storage bag, put them on, and put everything left by Ling Chuge into the storage bag.

[Is the injury on your shoulder okay? 】

"It's a minor injury, it'll be fine in two days."

As night fell, Anchi appeared in Lingchu Song Academy.

After An Chi showed up, he cleaned up the house for Ling Chuge as usual. During the process of cleaning up the house, An Chi suddenly discovered that something was missing from the house.

Anchi was shocked and said, "Sir, there is a thief in our courtyard again! All the cakes in the cabinet are gone!"

Ling Chuge became angry and threw the last cake at Anchi, but Anchi easily dodged it.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" An Chi asked innocently when he saw Ling Chuge suddenly lost his temper because he didn't know what happened during the day.

"Shut up." Ling Chuge squeezed out two words through his teeth.

Looking back on the mistake he made, Ling Chuge couldn't look straight at it.

Seeing that Ling Chuge was so angry, An Chi only thought of one possibility, "Did Young Master find out what method Jiang Ning used?"

"From now on, I won't mention this matter again!"

When Jiang Ning arrived at the Xiu Nian Academy early the next morning, he found that Ling Chuge had returned to his usual arrogant appearance.

It was as if he wasn't the one who was so guilty that he couldn't speak incoherently last evening.

Jiang Ning saw through it without saying anything, and simply said hello, "Good morning, Senior Brother Ling."

"Yeah." Ling Chuge simply responded without even raising his eyelids.

The two of them each took a bunch of Hunyuan Stones to practice their telekinesis. They were silent all morning, completely immersed in their telekinesis practice.

When it was time for lunch, Jiang Ning left the Xiu Ning Academy and headed to the Library Pavilion.

Here, just as Jiang Ning left with his front foot, Shen Lingyue suddenly came with his back foot.

Looking around, Shen Lingyue didn't see Jiang Ning's figure, so she looked at Ling Chuge who was eating aside and asked.

"Where's Jiang Ning?"
