Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

The heater was turned on at home. Qin Xiu took off his suit jacket. He was only wearing a white shirt inside. The cuffs were pushed up a little, and his wrists were slightly exposed. The hem of his shirt was held tightly with a black belt that accentuated his sexy lean waist. As he placed the bowl and chopsticks, his waist was tense, making his waistline look even sexier.

After placing all the dishes on the table, he habitually took out a tissue to wipe his hands. After wiping, he unintentionally looked up and saw Ye Jian, who was standing by the dining table and hadn’t sat down. She was staring at him in shock. Qin Xiu couldn’t help but laugh.

It seemed that she was frightened by his familiarity.

”When I was studying, I would come on time every Friday and Saturday night. It’s the same during the summer vacation. I would come to Grandpa Fu’s house at least three times a week.

”I can find what’s placed in the kitchen with my eyes closed. I even secretly drank Uncle Fu’s medicinal wine.”

Uncle Fu, who was picking up a plate of pickled vegetables, happened to hear this and teased, ”It was a medicinal wine made from snake. He didn’t notice it when he was stealing the wine. When he poured the wine, the snake flowed out. He was so frightened that he knocked over the snake wine I made.

”Look at him now. Every time I see him on television, I can’t help but want to laugh.”

Seeing that all the food he had just heated was placed on the dining table, Uncle Fu said, ”Same old rules. After you finish eating, wash the dishes.”

”Okay, thank you, Uncle Fu.” Qin Xiu sat down and raised his bowl and chopsticks. He was really… not polite at all. It seemed he didn’t think of himself as an outsider.

After knowing about Qin Xiu’s embarrassing matter, Ye Jian suppressed the smile on her face. Otherwise, it would be too obvious. It wouldn’t be good if Qin Xiu, who was sitting opposite her, saw through her.

It was indeed funny.

Ye Jian sat down and took a bite of rice. Then, she picked up a mouthful of food and ate slowly. However, a question slowly surfaced in her heart.

After Uncle Fu walked out of the cafeteria, she asked Qin Xiu, ”Since you come to my house often, why is your relationship with my cousin… very ordinary?”

”Cousin? Li Jinnian?” Qin Xiu, who was eating elegantly, held the bowl with one hand and pondered for a moment before saying, ”Our relationship is indeed average. I only returned to the country when I was in my second year of studies. You know that I don’t have a good sense of direction. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t come to Dan Gui Garden.

”When I was in grade twelve, my father was sent out. Sometimes, my mother would get her assistant to send me to Dan Gui Garden. At that time, Jinnian went to a closed management school and rarely came back during the summer vacation. Although I often came to your house to freeload, I only met Jinnian a few times.

”There’s one more thing. Although my grandfather and Grandpa Fu knew each other back then, they weren’t the good brothers that they are now. I heard from my father that the two of them were just acquaintances in the past. Coincidentally, they retired and lived in Dan Gui Garden together. That’s why they started hanging out.

”Also, Jinnian has been cold since he was young. As for me, I might be able to talk during meetings, but I’m not one to take initiative in my life, especially when it comes to making friends. The two of us don’t like to talk much, so even though we knew each other early on, our relationship is very ordinary.”

Ye Jian couldn’t help but nod. This explained everything.

Her cousin was indeed cold. As for Qin Xiu, she felt a sense of distance from him when they first met. The two of them didn’t usually like to talk and didn’t meet often. No matter how long they had known each other, their relationship was naturally ordinary.

When Qin Xiu was talking to Ye Jian, he paid attention to the conversation outside the living room. He saw that Ye Jian didn’t have any intention of mentioning why she was Old Master Fu’s granddaughter. He maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and chose to pay attention to the conversation in the living room instead of asking Ye Jian directly.
