I won't tell the field I like him

To become stronger.

Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger...

After returning from Chang's house, Qiyin of Xishanyuan could only think of these two words.

I don’t watch the animations I like to watch on weekdays, I don’t eat my favorite snacks, and I don’t even go shopping for my favorite activities on weekends. I shut myself in a warehouse full of materials all day long and study hard.

The clansmen of the Xishanyuan family looked at each other, not knowing what happened to their eldest lady, only the Patriarch of Xishanyuan who went to visit the Chang family together that day barely guessed the reason, and felt relieved and sad at the same time.

His daughter was only nine years old, and he was supposed to enjoy a carefree childhood, and he had been working hard to provide her with a relaxed childhood, but all this changed because of a visit a few days ago.

He couldn't bear it either, but there was nothing he could do.

The Patriarch of Xishan Hospital thought of the results he got from the doctor not long ago, and sighed.

Of course, I don't want to let go of my family's pride and seek refuge with others.But he doesn't have many days left, at most he can persist for a few more years, and the other brothers in the family don't have the talent to eliminate demons, so for the sake of the family, he can only do this.

"Qi Yin, do you want to come out to eat? Dad bought the red bean Daifuku you like to eat." The Patriarch of Xishan Yard raised his hand and knocked on the door of the warehouse, asking.

Prayer in the warehouse: "I don't want to eat anymore, I'm practicing drawing spells! I don't have time!"

"Then... I put it outside the warehouse for you, remember to eat when you are done with your work."

The Patriarch of the Xishan Courtyard put down the tray in his hand and was about to leave when he turned around and said softly, "Qi Yin, don't be too tired."

"Ok, I know!"

"……it is good."

The Patriarch of Xishanyuan left.Qi Yin in the warehouse put down the brush in his hand, and looked carefully at the spell in his hand with the help of an oil lamp.

No way...it's too far away.

Sure enough, the charm is not so easy to draw.

She sighed, and took out another piece of kraft paper from the drawer, observing the formation drawn on the paper.

The formation technique has improved somewhat, but as it is, it is far from enough.

After returning from Chang's house, she specifically asked her father about her ancestor's demon control, but her father was not very clear about it.

After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the good relationship left by the Xishanyuan family among monsters has long since disappeared.

Ancestors were good at controlling monsters, but Qi Yin searched all over the warehouse and couldn't find relevant information. Although spells and formations were boring, they were very useful, and there were many related books.

Qi Yin originally had a certain talent in formations, she thought, as long as she studied hard and delved into formations, she could also become stronger.

**

The days passed by, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye.

In the past six months, Qi Yin has not let up for a moment, and every day after returning from school, she will practice drawing spells and demon-eliminating arrays.

And in the past six months, due to her status, she followed her father to visit the Chang family several times, and met Zhang Jingsi every time.

Certainly not by chance.

I don't know what Chang Jingsi said to Chang's Patriarch. Dechang's Patriarch seems to think that they have a good relationship. Whenever she visits, he will always offer to let Chang Jingsi play with her.

In front of adults, Qi Yin could only maintain a dignified smile on her face.

But when the adults leave and only she and Chang Jingsi are left alone, the cute smile on her lips will disappear, and her clear eyes will reveal her dislike for him unabashedly.

Zhang Jingsi never gets tired of watching her face change, and Qi Yin even thinks that he just likes to see her change face, so he will deliberately come over every time.

In a few days, it will be November [-]st, and the Chang family will hold a small gathering, inviting demon extermination masters from all sects and sects to participate.

The Nishizan-in Qiyin who belongs to the field family will naturally be there.

At first, she thought it was just an ordinary gathering among the demon-eliminating family, but her father told her that it was actually the young master of the Chang family's birthday on that day, and asked her to prepare a gift and give it to him then.

.........

gift.

Give a gift to Zhang Jingji.

That annoying guy, the guy who only looks at his own jokes with an ambiguous smile, actually wants to receive a gift!

Qi Yin was speechless, but it was related to the relationship between the two families, and she had to be obedient.

Her father gave her some money and asked her to go and buy a gift that Zhang Jingsi might like.

So the day before Chang Jingsi's birthday, Qi Yin made a special trip to the gift shop after school, but she couldn't bear to buy any of them.

...It's too wasteful, it's too wasteful to give Shizuka Ma the cute decorations in the gift shop.

That kind of guy isn't worth a penny of his own.

The little girl hesitated for a long time in the gift shop with puffed cheeks, and finally bought only a pack of the cheapest origami.

She is ready to fold some gadgets by herself.

Not only is it cheap, but you can also use the words [handmade] as an excuse to appear full of intentions on the surface.

Hehehe, she is so smart.

The origami is black, white and gray. Because the pictures are cheap, Qi Yin is not willing to buy even more beautiful colored origami.

After returning home, she went into the bedroom. With the help of the ingenious maid, Ayaka, Qiyin successfully folded a very vivid cricket after spending most of the origami.

That is crickets.

"Miss, this birthday gift for Master Chang...is it really good?" Ayaka looked at the dark cricket in front of her, and hesitated to speak.

Qi Yin put the paper cricket in her palm with satisfaction, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, "It's pretty good, it's full of my heart."

"But..." Ayaka still wanted to say something.

"He'll love it!"

Qi Yin emphasized, and also quoted a saying that he had seen in the book, "If I give him a cricket, it means that a cricket has entered his house. This is an auspicious meaning of good luck and good fortune."

Crickets entering the house represent good luck, which is a folk superstition.

Small insects rely on their instincts to survive, and are better at avoiding danger than humans. As long as there are crickets entering the house, it means that even small insects like crickets agree that the home is very safe.

Qi Yin knew this and chose to fold a cricket.

Of course, she didn't mean to sincerely wish Chang's family safety.

She just wanted to see if Zhang Jingsi could keep the same smile on her lips after receiving the gift she carefully prepared.

Can't wait.

Qi Yin put the folded paper cricket into an exquisite packaging box, closed the lid, and tied it with a beautiful ribbon.

After preparing everything, Qi Yin fell asleep happily, and couldn't wait to see Zhang Jingsi's disappointment after opening the gift tomorrow.

**

the next day.

Putting on a beautiful kimono and tying up a lovely bud head, at the party held by the family, Qiyin found the focus of the crowd, Jingji Ba.

After waiting patiently for a while, she chose a time when no one was around and went forward, and gave out the gift box in her hand.

Zhang Jingsi was slightly surprised when he saw the exquisite gift box in his hand, and after staring at the box for a while with red eyes, he looked at the prayer in front of him who couldn't hide his joy, and asked, "Is this for me? "

"Yes, happy birthday, Shizuka."

Qi Yin called him by his name in a rare mood, and said with a sweet smile, "I prepared it myself."

"Hey~ what is it, I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Jingsi smiled and untied the ribbon on the box.

Qi Yin stared straight at the movements of his hands, and quickly raised her eyes to observe his expression from time to time, not wanting to miss any changes in his face.

Will he be startled?Will you be disappointed?Will you be angry?

……However.

no change.

Chang Jingsi's expression didn't change at all.

He still had a faint smile on his face, and after opening the lid of the box and seeing the black crickets inside, his smile even deepened a bit.

"It's so vivid, this cricket." Chang Jingsi picked up the paper cricket in the box, put it under the light and observed it carefully, "It's so beautifully made, did you fold it yourself?"

…………

Qi Yin was stunned.

Why is he not surprised?Why didn't you show a little bit of displeasure!

If it were me, if I received such a strange gift with unknown meaning at a birthday party, I would definitely go crazy!

"I made it myself, the implication is to wish you peace..." Qi Yin's lips twitched, and he barely spoke the lines he had prepared.

"Thank you, you are really caring." Zhang Jingsi thanked him.

"........."

Seeing that Zhang Jingsi really couldn't put it down, Qi Yin couldn't figure it out, so she tilted her head to ask in great perplexity, "You... really like it?"

"Huh? Of course I like it. This is the first time sister Qiyin gave me a present." Director Chang Jing said naturally.

Prayer was at a loss for words for a moment.

She looked at Zhang Jingsi with a sincere face, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt, "Is it too much to tease the birthday star on his birthday?"

However, before she really started to reflect...

Zhang Jingsi brought the dark paper cricket in front of her, and said with a smile: "Look, this cricket looks really cute, just like sister Qi Yin."

"........."

She, she looks like a cricket?

Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that she had been connoted!

Seeing the smile in Zhang Jingsi's eyes clearly, Xishanyuan Qiyin clenched the hand under the sleeve of the kimono, and clenched her back molars in anger.

Ahhh, this guy definitely did it on purpose.

This person, Chang Jingsi, is really annoying!
