I am not a good person

Zhao Zenian didn't understand why, Hua Shangxue had a good relationship with him, they would help each other complete tasks, and they could joke and discuss various things at will.

But every time he wanted to take a step closer, Hua Shangxue would immediately withdraw and draw a long river between the two of them, leaving him on the far side.

This situation lasted for a long time, and Zhao Zenian was a little discouraged, so he could only focus on other things, so as to divert his attention from Hua Shangxue.

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, only feeling that it was spicy and bitter. He stood for a while and turned his head inadvertently, Shi Jin just raised his head to look at him.

When the eyes met, Zhao Zenian's heart skipped a beat, he went back and sat down with Shi Jin, and asked, "Are you still unhappy?"

Shi Jin's eyes were red again: "Brother, he doesn't like me. In fact, you do too. All of you are very polite to me. I obviously want to be friends with you, but you only regard me as the second young master!"

Zhao Zenian said indifferently: "After all, the identity is there. You think about it so much, not only embarrassing us, but also embarrassing yourself. So, it's better not to think about it."

Shi Jin sniffed, and her tone was full of loss and sadness: "I don't need to care about others, but that's my brother. Although we don't have the same mother, in my eyes, he is my brother!"

Zhao Zenian was slightly taken aback, thinking of something, he was stunned for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to stroke Shi Jin's hair, and sighed heartily: "It's a pity, I don't have a brother like you!"

Simple and kind, passionate and beautiful.

Shi Jin smiled through tears: "It's not impossible to be your younger brother, as long as you teach me martial arts!"

Zhao Zenian smiled slightly and asked, "When will you go back?"

Shi Jin stopped smiling for a moment, and the two clusters of fire in his eyes danced violently: "Are you driving me away too?"

"You misunderstood. New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion. If you want to go back, I have to send you away a few days earlier." What's more, Shi Feishi doesn't want to see him, so what's the point of staying?

Shi Jin thought for a while, then shook his head: "I want to stay here."

Zhao Zenian was surprised for a moment, thinking that his courage is commendable, he nodded: "Alright then, take care of yourself when the time comes."

Shi Jin frowned: "What do you mean? Are you leaving me alone?"

Zhao Zenian drank a glass of wine and said the resolution he had made after being rejected by Hua Shangxue just now: "I'm not here to celebrate the New Year, I want to go out."

Shi Jin widened his eyes wonderingly: "Where are you going?"

Two days later, Zhao Zenian and Shi Jin ran out of the gate of Jingxu Pavilion on horseback. When passing through a forest, Zhao Zenian stopped to modify as usual, and removed the mask and ribbon.

Shi Jin helped guard the gate to prevent anyone from seeing him. He had a piece of dead grass in his mouth: "I said, you've been trading around like this all day, aren't you tired?"

"It's a bit troublesome at this time, maybe I can save my life in the future."

Shi Jin's face was full of slyness: "Then, get me a mask and wear it sometime!"

"Okay." Zhao Zenian stretched his legs and stepped on the back of the horse: "As long as you convince the old pavilion master and wife, especially your brother!"

Shi Jin immediately collapsed: "Forget it then."

The two of them continued on their way, and finally came to Yongyi City, stopped outside the gate of Mei Mansion, and took down the gift prepared in advance when they dismounted.

The four servants standing at the gate of Mei Mansion had all seen Zhao Zenian last time.

One walked down the steps to lead the horse in, the other took the carved mahogany box in their hands, and the other led the person in, and said as he walked, "Mr. Zhao, you are here. I received a letter from Mr. Zhao. The young master has come to the porter to inquire. Many times!"

Zhao Zenian chuckled, "The slow pace has made your young master worry." Before leaving the house, he sent a letter to say hello in advance to avoid rushing to the door.

When passing by the hall, seeing Mei Shengnan sitting in it, Zhao Zenian was reluctant to go in to see him.

On the contrary, Mei Shengnan was displeased when he saw the mahogany box handed over by him: "Here you come, what gift do you bring?"

Zhao Zenian said politely, "Come to Mei Manor to celebrate the New Year to disturb me, so I am sorry to show up empty-handed."

Mei Shengnan waved his hand: "Hey, let's not talk about those rules. Here, you can come here as you feel comfortable! This little brother is..."

Zhao Zenian pulled Shi Jin to his side: "This is the younger brother of a friend of mine, his name is Shi Jin."

Shi Jin cupped his hands with a humble attitude: "The younger generation pays homage to Master Mei!"

Shi Jin is the kind of person who makes people feel very happy when they see his smile. Mei Shengnan seemed to be infected by his smile, and laughed loudly: "There is no need to be polite, there are many people to be lively! If you need anything, I am sorry place, just tell Xingfeng, don't be polite!"

After saying hello to Mei Shengnan, the two followed the servants to the back and were brought to the yard where Mei Xingfeng lived.

After entering the house, Zhao Zenian glanced at the faces of Feng Yueyi, Mei Xingfeng, and Mei Xiaorui one by one, and finally looked at Qin Pei and said, "Your second elder is healthy and healthy, why don't you go home?"

Qin Pei walked over with a smile: "I miss you! I have written a letter to my family, and my parents will understand me!"

Zhao Zenian scoffed unceremoniously.

Mei Xingfeng came out to smooth things over with a smile: "Qin Pei didn't lie. During the days when you were not here, he often talked about you, worrying about what might happen to you when you go out."

Feng Yueyi also said: "It's his idea to invite you to Meifu for the New Year, and it's also to celebrate the New Year with you."

The last time it was a bad breakup, Zhao Zenian didn't expect Feng Yueyi to be willing to talk to him, so he couldn't help but soften a little.

Mei Xiaorui covered her mouth and started laughing: "People who don't know about Ze Nian must think that Qin Pei is thinking about the girl he likes!"

Although the tone was joking, Zhao Zenian didn't think it was funny at all. He looked over with thoughtful eyes, and Qin Pei stood undisturbed, meeting his suspicious eyes without fear.

Zhao Zenian knew that Qin Pei still couldn't speak, so he didn't intend to dwell on it, but said, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend's younger brother Shi Jin."

Several people greeted each other.

Qin Pei asked: "Since you brought him here, that means he is also celebrating the New Year here?"

Zhao Zenian nodded: "I was entrusted by a friend to take care of him. I have only one child. Please bear with me."

Mei Xingfeng shook his head: "It's okay, just treat this place as your own home."

The brothers and sisters of the Mei family wanted to help their father with business matters, Feng Yue couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to ask for a list, intending to help buy new year's goods, he should do his best.

After lunch, a few people went to the street. Shi Jin was curious about many things. Qin Pei was a person who couldn't bear to be lonely. He took the initiative to help him clear up his doubts and introduce him to various things, and he walked to the front without knowing it.

Only then did Feng Yueyi complain: "Qin Pei has become more and more annoying recently!"

Listening to that tone, it seemed that all the unhappiness in Ganquan had dissipated, which was in line with Zhao Zenian's wish to calm things down, and hurriedly said, "Oh, what's so annoying?"

Feng Yueyi rubbed his nose: "You know, he came for me at first, but now the target is you. Before I went to Ganquan, I thought I was at the top. I didn't expect that these days when you didn't come, he became more and more ... Anyway, if you say three sentences, two sentences will never leave you!"

Zhao Zenian looked up, and Qin Pei stuffed a colorful sugar figurine into Shi Jin's mouth.

"If I hadn't known him for a while, I would have suspected that he had ulterior motives." Feng Yueyi asked, "Zenian, do you know why?"

Zhao Zenian shook his head: "I can't figure it out either, but he looks at me with enthusiasm." He was so enthusiastic that he suspected that he was wearing the wrong clothes, and sometimes even doubted his gender.

"Yeah, I still remember that at the beginning he didn't like you and was always against you. Now it's strange that he actually cares about how you are doing and worries that you will get hurt."

Speaking of this, Feng Yueyi suddenly turned around: "What have you been up to lately?"

Zhao Zenian laughed and laughed: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Try to take on a few more tasks before the Chinese New Year. Only by earning money can you live comfortably this year."

He asked, "Have you taken the antidote this month?"

Feng Yueyi nodded: "I have been staying in Yongyi City for more than a month, so the antidote was delivered in time."

"Aren't you looking for someone, why do you stay in one place for a long time?"

Feng Yueyi's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

He deliberately didn't say anything, Zhao Zenian didn't want to ask, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong in front of him: Qin Pei pulled Shi Jin, and hurriedly walked towards the street to the east.

Zhao Zenian was vigilant, and before he had time to tell Feng Yueyi, he quickly chased after him and stopped him with his hand: "Where are you taking him?"

Qin Pei scratched his head unnaturally, and pointed at the place with his fan, Zhao Zenian turned his head to look, and his anger rose immediately: The place Qin Pei was going to take Shi Jin to turned out to be a brothel!

Shi Jin didn't understand why his expression changed, and asked curiously, "Brother Zhao, what is that place?"

Zhao Zenian took a deep breath: "Who cares about him, it's not good anyway."

"Since it's not good, why did Brother Qin take me there?"

Qin Pei smiled: "Zenian, Shi Jin is not a child, he has grown up, he should gain some knowledge, don't you think?"

Zhao Zenian glared at him: "It's not my child. If you spoil it, how can I explain it when I go back!"

Shi Jin looked at the two of them in surprise, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the place Qin Pei was pointing at. He turned his head halfway, and was forced back by Zhao Zenian's hand.

Feng Yueyi only caught up at this time, and when he learned the reason of the incident, he immediately accused Qin Pei and scolded him.

Qin Pei apologized again and again, and almost knelt down to beg for mercy, and Zhao Zenian's face looked better.

The four of them finished the New Year's goods, and before dark, they helped the servants of Mei's Mansion to share some things, and hung up the lanterns all over the mansion.

In a blink of an eye, when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Zenian toasted Mei Shengnan with a complicated mood.

Mei Shengnan left early on the grounds of old age, and then Mei Xingfeng got drunk and the servants were on vacation, so Mei Xiaorui had to help his brother back to the room by herself. Squeeze together and concentrate on drinking.
