Chapter 272: Chapter 274: Slinging Mud_1

Qin Jin pulled her into his embrace, "Can I have this at least?"

Li Qiao lay down with the momentum, her head resting on his arm, but chided, "Don’t let anyone see."

Qin Jin was nonchalant, "Even hugging with a marriage license is not allowed?"

Li Qiao faced upwards towards the sky as a breeze blew by, scattering petals all around.

Qin Jin said, "There aren’t any peach blossoms in the south at this time, but the north still has them."

"Human affairs are devoid of fragrance by April; Yet it’s now that the peach blossoms in mountain temples begin to bloom," Li Qiao replied.

Qin Jin: "Showing off your literary knowledge."

Li Qiao smiled, "Alright."

The sun made them comfortably warm, as Li Qiao and Qin Jin chatted intermittently until they heard other people talking and sat up straight.

Li Qiao opened the snack box to eat.

Qin Jin flipped through her sketchbook, and there he was, depicted as he had been at the train station, in a moment of dejection.

A cigarette between his fingers, his brows slightly furrowed.

She had observed him so closely.

Feeling someone’s attention, warmth instantly filled his heart.

He began to whistle happily.

The moment the tune began, a biscuit found its way to his lips, and he heard her gentle voice, "Do you want to eat it?"

Qin Jin bit into it, catching her fingers as well.

Li Qiao reflexively pulled back, her fingers scraping against his teeth, and she cried out in pain, "I feed you kindly, and you bite me."

Qin Jin hurriedly checked her finger, which was slightly red, "I clearly wanted to kiss."

Li Qiao’s face turned red.

The couple sweetly spent the day outside and didn’t return home until sunset.

Puppy bolted straight to its little den under the eaves as soon as it entered the door and lay down to sleep, stiff as a board.

Old Mrs. Qin asked, "What did you two do today? You’ve worn out the dog like this?"

Li Qiao: "We went to the suburbs to see the peach blossoms, and Dahuang ran dozens of miles with us."

"Oh, that must have been tiring, huh?" Old Mrs. Qin said with concern.

Qin Jin started to feel jealous again, grumbling, "You care about the dog more than about me."

Old Mrs. Qin: "What are you saying?"

"Nothing."

Li Qiao asked, "Grandma, did you buy the sweet fermented rice on the table?"

"It’s from Sir Xue," Old Mrs. Qin said. "He came by today and said, Jin, since you are not from our school, might others gossip about you joining the rehearsal? And if it gets reported to the school, what impact might it have?"

Li Qiao caught the implication. Sir Xue had never questioned this before.

Could it be that Xue Sufen had reported it to the school?

She felt a brief surge of nervousness before calming down.

"What comes will come; let it be."

If the teacher approached her, she would excuse herself by saying that the school had no rules against outsiders participating.

If the teacher insisted on canceling her act, she would accept her bad luck.

She said, "It’s no problem."

Li Qiao’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, reassuring Old Mrs. Qin, who then set out to make dinner for the two.

Qin Jin pulled Old Mrs. Qin into the house and closed the door behind them.

He took out the small yellow croaker, silver dollar, and silver leaves, still damp from the jar.

Old Mrs. Qin’s eyes widened in disbelief, "This, this... these are made of plastic, right?"

Qin Jin suppressed his voice, fearing someone might overhear, "All of it is real." He vividly described what had happened.

Old Mrs. Qin was overjoyed, her eyes shimmering as she touched the small yellow croaker, "Qiaoqiao is truly our family’s lucky star." With this money, why worry about making a comeback? "I’ll go right now to buy some braised meat from the market to reward Qiaoqiao."

"I’ll go buy it," Qin Jin said as he hid the jar and left.

.....

The dinner was particularly sumptuous, not only featuring braised fish but also roast duck.

Li Qiao was stuffed and pulled Qin Jin out for a walk. Passing by the park, they encountered Xue Sufen.

This time, Xue Sufen was without Jiang Wanqiu.

Li Qiao and Qin Jin didn’t greet her either.

It was Xue Sufen who spoke first, saying, "Your minister already knows you’re married. Qin Jin, you don’t know yet, do you? Li Qiao has been acting like a single person and flirting with the minister of the Culture Department, even telling him that you’re a freshman and just a simple performance partner."

Li Qiao angrily retorted, "Stop slandering me, when have I ever flirted?"

"The minister himself said it, he thinks you’re after his family background."

Li Qiao’s heart pounded with anxiety, damn it, if you can’t have me, you want to ruin me, huh?

After somebody’s family background? She really felt nauseated.

Couldn’t she strive for a good family background on her own?

"Bullshit! With his looks, my wife would be interested?! What kind of family background does he have? He probably revealed his own background to attract your attention, you idiot!" Qin Jin couldn’t help cursing. That woman’s brain must be used solely for storing knowledge.

Completely devoid of human nature.

"Exactly," Li Qiao emphasized, "I only like Qin Jin’s style. He is the most perfect man in the world in my eyes!"

"Did you hear that? She only likes my kind, I am the most perfect!" Qin Jin repeated Li Qiao’s words like a parrot.

Xue Sufen gritted her teeth, "Just wait until she cuckolds you."

Qin Jin replied, "As long as you don’t try to cuckold her with me, we’ll be fine."

"You, you, you!" Xue Sufen was so angered she leaned back, both mortified and frantic: "You’re talking nonsense, who tried to seduce you?"

Qin Jin hit back, "You reached out to be pen pals with me, heaven and earth can bear witness, the sun and the moon can show."

Xue Sufen trembled all over with fury.

This wastrel, rogue, loser!

Damn bastard!

She was blind to have made him her pen pal back then.

She couldn’t stay another moment and ran away.

Li Qiao covered her mouth and laughed gleefully.

.....

The next day.

Li Qiao went to school with a nervous heart, and not only was Gu Weimin nowhere to be seen, but no teacher looked for her either.

Had this matter been avoided?

Then came Wednesday, the day of the school celebration.

Li Qiao specifically took Qin Jin to a hair salon that specialized in attaching hair extensions, and asked them to attach a wig and style it for Qin Jin.

After it was done, Li Qiao was completely dazzled by the result.

Black hair piled high, a face of striking beauty.

His dark eyes shone brightly.

Exuding astuteness and competence.

He looked every bit the spirited young man.

She thought for a moment and said, "Like a top-ranked Hidden Guard by a Prince’s side."

Qin Jin: "Hidden Guard?" Following her, he had read quite a few history books and knew what a Hidden Guard was, "Why a servant?" Couldn’t he be the master instead?

Li Qiao said, "Princes wear dazzling clothes and exude a noble air."

Qin Jin: "...." So, she’s implying his clothes are shoddy and he has no air of nobility about him?

"If I’m the Hidden Guard, what are you?"

"I am the Female Prince," Li Qiao stated seriously.

Qin Jin burst out laughing, so all this was just to elevate her own status.

Together, they went to the school where the field was filled with people. Li Qiao had just found a seat to sit down.

The announcer began to read the program list, and her act was the first to perform.

This caught her off guard, but luckily she was prepared. As soon as the music started, she immediately got into character.

Gu Weimin watched with a dark expression from below the stage as the male and female performers coordinated seamlessly and moved smoothly on stage.

It was probably what people of the jianghu who enjoyed the pleasures and grudges of life looked like.

He learned from a student named Xue Sufen on Monday that Li Qiao really was married, and Qin Jin was her partner.

No wonder the two always went home together.

He was planning to remove their act from the performance list, but the list had been submitted. When he told the teacher and pointed out that Li Qiao was bringing a married partner to participate, the teacher actually said that bringing a partner to participate in the program showed taking school matters as seriously as family matters, and rejected his proposal.
