Chapter 1275: Chapter 738: The Kindergarten Karmic Bond, Fifth Master’s Underhanded Assist (Part 2)

[It’s best to settle on a name sooner rather than later, the longer you wait, the harder it gets to decide.]

Huo Qinqi has been pondering this issue lately.

So inside the base, his men have noticed that their captain, who was previously looking at parenting and childbirth books, has now switched to "Book of Poetry," "Songs of Chu," and recently even started flipping through "Dictionary of Chinese Culture."

He’s usually decisive and doesn’t suffer from choice paralysis, but naming is a big deal, so he must think it over thoroughly.

...

"What are you laughing at?" Si Qingxiao saw him amused to his heart’s content and naturally had to ask.

"Laughing at Zeyan, honestly, I can’t figure it out. Two kids in kindergarten, what kind of feud can they hold onto until now?" Jiang Chengsi’s time in kindergarten is long forgotten.

So he’s really puzzled, what’s the point of these two meeting up just to tussle like feuding chicks?

If you’ve got the guts, fight like grown men.

"Qi Shao? Who has he been feuding with since kindergarten?"

"Duan Lin Bai, you should have heard of him."

"The internet celebrity Duan Lin Bai?"

"That’s him."

"What happened between them? Why are you laughing so hard?"

"I said they could become in-laws, and Qi Zeyan got all worked up. I swear, he wanted to come through my 5G network to beat me up."

Si Qingxiao just chuckled and picked out three or four sets of clothes for him to try on.

Actually, shopping for clothes isn’t tiring, what’s exhausting is trying them on. Jiang Chengsi isn’t naturally patient, but with his girlfriend carefully choosing, he can only go try them one by one.

**

On the other hand, Qi Zeyan was already fuming.

Huo Family? Duan Family?

None of them are wishing him well, it seems.

"What’s wrong?" Ruan Mengxi saw him grumpy and confused. How can having a chat make someone so angry?

"I’m fine, how are you? Do you need another rest?" Qi Zeyan knew deep down that after the two of them were up all night, she had been out of sorts all day.

"Let’s have dinner, and get some rest early." Both sides of the Qi Family were at her house, discussing when to hold the wedding after the engagement. The Qi Family hasn’t hosted a celebration for a while, they’d surely want to make it grand.

With the elders around, she wouldn’t dare retire to her room.

"Shall I stay at your home with you tonight?" After the engagement party, the Ruan Family’s guests had left, so there’s no one staying in the guest rooms.

Qi Zeyan initially worried about her discomfort, staying at the Ruan home made it convenient for care. Unexpectedly, Ruan Mengxi gave him a wary look, "You better stay at a hotel."

"In your house, would I really do anything to you?"

Qi Zeyan was infuriated; it’s one thing for Jiang Xiaosi to annoy him, but now even his wife was looking at him like that?

Does she think he’d be so out of line to do anything inappropriate right under the noses of her parents?

Qi Zeyan was irritated. This is Pingjiang, not Beijing, where you can find drinking buddies anytime. He wanted to call Jiang Jinsang.

"I need to drink with Grandpa, and tonight I have to accompany Wanwan, no time for you."

Last night, Qi Zeyan had a soft, lovely woman in his arms, but today he’s left to cuddle a pillow alone.

...

Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao wandered around the mall for quite a while and only bought one set of clothes.

It’s likely because Si Qingxiao is somewhat picky, and nothing seemed good enough, even the set they bought didn’t fully satisfy her, but it was handy for a change of clothes.

With outerwear bought, it seems next on the list were more intimate clothing...

Si Qingxiao had never gotten a guy such items before, so she sent Jiang Chengsi to buy them himself, while she found a restaurant to order.

Then she received a call from a courier.

"Hello, is this Miss Si? We’re from Pingjiang local courier service."

"Yes."

Miss Si?

Si Qingxiao usually went by the name "Xiao" in Pingjiang, and she hadn’t ordered anything.

"You have a package, we’re about to arrive at your doorstep, could you please confirm if you’re at home?"

"Sorry, I’m not."

"What should we do then? There isn’t a nearby drop-off point; maybe we can try delivering it again tomorrow?"

"I’ll go to your delivery station to pick it up, just give me the address."

...

When Jiang Chengsi returned, he found her on the phone, asking the server for pen and paper to note an address.

"They say there’s a package, but I don’t know what it is?" Si Qingxiao frowned.

"We’ll find out when we check it out later."

"I feel like the clothes this year aren’t very nice. When I have time, I’ll make you a set of clothes." Si Qingxiao smiled and handed the ordering tablet to him, "I ordered two dishes, see if you want anything else."

They had their meal and first went to the delivery point to pick up the package. The sender’s name on it seemed smudged by something, making it unreadable. Judging by the outline of the packaging, it seemed to be a box.

With an unidentified sender and unknown content, Si Qingxiao didn’t dare take it home without opening it. So she opened the package at the delivery point...

"This..." Si Qingxiao was stunned.

A suitcase, and it’s an old one? What’s going on?

Who would send her something like this?

Jiang Chengsi was initially just watching from the side, but as the layers of packaging were torn open, he was dumbfounded!

This...

Isn’t this his suitcase?

"Could you help me find the dispatch slip?" Si Qingxiao asked the delivery station staff. What the heck? Who sent her an old suitcase?

"No need to look for it." Jiang Chengsi stated directly, "This suitcase..."

"Is mine!"

"It must be Xiaowu who sent it."

Si Qingxiao was taken aback, "Xiaowu sent your suitcase to me, this is..."

He said he’d stay another night, so why send the luggage over?

"I’ll give him a call."

Jiang Jinsang, when he received the call, had just finished drinking with Elder Tang. The old man couldn’t drink too much, so he wasn’t drunk either.

"Jiang Xiaowu, why did you send my suitcase over?"

"Got the package, huh?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Can’t you tell I’m helping you out? I figured you wouldn’t come back with us anyway. Once Miss Si leaves, you’d probably leave too. Since the luggage is already sent over, you can stay at her place justifiably."

"What do you mean by ’stay’?"

"Otherwise, what excuse would you use to stay tonight? Yesterday it was because you drank too much, but what about today? I’m just worried you’d get sent back again."

"..."

Jiang Jinsang thought that with Jiang Chengsi’s clueless intelligence, he wouldn’t come up with a good excuse. So, he simply packed his luggage and sent it over.

Anyway, everything was thrown at Si Qingxiao. He wasn’t going to accept returns. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Taking a radical approach to cut off any retreat.

No matter what, he’d neither take the luggage nor Jiang Chengsi back, and Si Qingxiao would definitely keep him overnight, even if she didn’t want to.

Given Si Qingxiao’s personality, she certainly wouldn’t send both him and the suitcase back.

Seeing Jiang Chengsi not saying anything, Jiang Jinsang continued, "Even though you always tell me to mind my own business, as your brother, I still want to help where I can. But that’s all I can do. The rest is up to you."

"Fourth brother, I really mean well. You need to seize the opportunity."

"Once we’re back in Beijing and Miss Si lives at home, you won’t have this chance again."

"..."

Jiang Chengsi really didn’t know what to say. Jiang Jinsang was probably trying to do him a favor, but did he really think of him as so clueless that he couldn’t plan to stay overnight at his girlfriend’s place without his help?

Jiang Chengsi felt Jiang Jinsang was meddling. He already had things settled, yet his brother still put on this show. Just as he was thinking of how to explain this to Si Qingxiao, she didn’t seem to question it.

She simply opened the trunk and let him put the suitcase in, ready to head home.

All the way, she didn’t ask why Jiang Jinsang sent the luggage over.

The reason was simple: Si Qingxiao looked at the suitcase and increasingly believed what Jiang Chengsi said might be true.

Because the Tang Family had many relatives visiting, there was no place to stay, not even room for a suitcase, so they sent everything over.

It seemed likely that he was planning to stay at her place entirely.

Since the situation was clear, there was no need to ask further.
