Chapter 90 Drinking from the wrong cup

Jiang Cheng paused at the door of Xuanli's room for a long time. His hand that knocked on the door stopped in mid-air and did not knock down for a long time.

When he reacted after reading Xuan Ran's words, someone was already standing at the door.

Xuanli was just about to open the door to get some air when she suddenly bumped into Jiang Cheng's panicked eyes when he saw her.

"Jiang Cheng?" She looked at his shoulder, which had already fallen a layer of snow, and pulled him into the house, "Why didn't you say anything while you were standing outside?"

Jiang Cheng sat down at the table and watched her pour him water.

Xuanli was worried that the tea was too hot, so she blew on it.

Seeing him pick up the tea cup and take a sip, she asked: "What can I do for you?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

She bent her eyes and shook her head gently, "Of course not, I welcome you to come anytime."

"At any time?" Jiang Cheng deliberately rubbed these two words carefully and smiled frivolously, "Is it okay while sleeping?"

Xuanli's ears burned at his straightforward words, and she choked and coughed for no reason.

She coughed very restrainedly, and her cheeks turned pink, "Don't you... don't sleep at night?"

Jiang Cheng especially liked the way she looked when she blushed and teased her even more.

"I found that I slept more soundly next to Xuan Xiaoli last time," he smiled unbridled, "Since you invited me so warmly, I don't mind sleeping on the cold floor."

Xuanli looked for a towel to wipe off the snow on his body. After hearing his words, she couldn't bear it and covered his face with the towel, and scolded him in shame: "You are shameless."

The towel had the fragrance of gardenia, and it had been soaked in hot water. The heat and fragrance made him breathless.

She only covered it for less than three seconds before taking it off, but found that Jiang Cheng's face was unusually red, and she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have covered your face and made you unable to breathe."

He coughed a few times, took the teacup handed over by Xuanli, and just took a few sips when he heard her exclaim.

"Took the wrong one."

Jiang Cheng followed her gaze and saw that the cup in front of him was still there, but it was empty in front of her.

He realized something and lowered his eyes to look at the tea cup. The wall of the cup that he touched with his fingertips suddenly became hot.

"your?"

Xuanli stared blankly at the cup in his hand and nodded blankly.

Then she grabbed it and her cheeks turned red instantly, "Then...that, if you mind, I'll take it and wash it!"

"I've already drank it, and washing it didn't help." Jiang Cheng didn't take it back, and continued to drink his own. "Besides, you should be the one to say something like this if you mind."

So Xuanli held the hot cup and rationally told her that she needed to wash it again. Selfishly, she told her that he didn't care anymore, so she just pretended that she didn't care and continued to use it.

While his thoughts were stuck, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Along with the people coming in, there is also the cold wind that pours in.

Her thoughts were interrupted and she looked at the panting Yu Tingxuan.

"What's going on? You're so anxious?"

Xuanli walked over quickly and looked at him with concern.

Yu Tingxuan quickly glanced at Jiang Cheng, whose expression turned cold as expected.

"I...I don't know a certain question, so..."

Xuan Ran slowly followed over, holding a Ding Ding candy bought on the street in his mouth.

"Of course I don't understand his questions. As soon as I said I could find Xuanli, he rushed over."

As if she had just seen Jiang Cheng, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Brother Jiang Cheng is here too? No wonder this kid runs so fast."

Yu Tingxuan passed by Jiang's house on the pretext of going to the toilet and found no one inside. His first reaction was that Jiang Cheng had gone to Xuan Li's place.

He was afraid of what would happen if a man and a woman were alone in the same room, so he hurried back to the study, picked up his papers, and headed there, forgetting to even knock on the door.

"Tingxuan, didn't Grandpa Xuan teach you that you have to ask the owner of the room to answer before you can come in?" Jiang Cheng placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and the clinking sound frightened Yu Tingxuan, and he straightened his back with a guilty conscience.

He always brought irresistible authority when reprimanding people, "What about your upbringing since childhood? Did you forget to follow it?"

Xuan Ran felt a wave of power inexplicably, and subconsciously took a few steps back, leaning against the door.

Xuan Li persuaded in a soft voice: "Jiang Cheng, Tingxuan is just thirsty for knowledge and impatient. He has always been a measured child."

Hearing her voice, Jiang Cheng calmed down a little and said, "If you don't know, just ask me later. Don't bother Sister Xuanli."

Yu Tingxuan's eyes were red, and there was no resentment in his stubborn eyes, but he just looked at Jiang Cheng for a long time and left the room without saying a word.

Xuan Ran noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, bit into pieces of candy, rolled it in his mouth a few times, and stood up straight with the lone lottery ticket.

"I'll go back and see him."

When she went out, she closed the door very gently.

Xuan Li frowned and condemned him: "Jiang Cheng, your tone is too harsh."

After Yu Tingxuan slammed the door and left, Jiang Cheng realized that he had indeed gone too far.

He pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before speaking: "I will apologize to him later."

"You used to care about him very much, why are you so cruel to him?"

Xuanli thought that the psychological trauma caused by the fire had affected his mood, and he looked worried, "Have you ever felt unreasonably irritable or angry recently?"

Jiang Cheng thought of the previous experiments to confirm his own mind, and he was indeed easily irritated.

Yu Tingxuan even wrote it on his face that he liked Xuanli, using various methods to attract her attention.

Coupled with Xuan Ran's seemingly unintentional mention of Zhao Qingyu, who painted Xuan Li, the restlessness in his heart became even worse.

He didn't like the feeling of others approaching her with purpose, not even Yu Tingxuan, who he had watched grow up.

Jiang Cheng realized that he was quite stingy and nodded in response to Xuan Li's uneasy gaze.

So he watched her expression change from worry to horror.

Xuanli turned around and went to the wardrobe to look through the books in the suitcase. His eyesight was very good and he could clearly see the title of the book she was flipping through at the moment, "Social Psychology".

"Xuan Xiaoli, there's no need to rush to study at this time, I'll be leaving in a moment."

She was still searching for how to solve this kind of behavior, and felt slightly relieved when she heard his voice was as relaxed as usual.

Xuanli put the book back temporarily and told him solemnly: "Then you must apologize to Tingxuan."

"good."

Watching him go out, she frowned again.

When Jiang Cheng approached Yu Tingxuan's study, he heard the latter's angry voice.

"I hate Brother Jiang Cheng! He has repeatedly blocked my contact with Sister Xuanli!"

Xuan Ran did not comfort him, but instead said to him: "Don't you reflect on your own problems?"

Yu Tingxuan couldn't believe it: "What's wrong with me?"

She used the pick she had just eaten to dip in ink and draw a dragon on the rice paper. "Your biggest problem is that you like to pester Xuanli. Of course, Brother Jiang Cheng won't be happy."

"Why aren't you happy?" He was puzzled, "Shouldn't he treat you and Sister Xuanli the same way?"

"Huh, that's not even close."

Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the real New Year! Once again, I wish you all a Happy New Year! Good luck in everything and good health!
