Qiao Xi turned around and looked at Qiao Zhu in confusion.

"You...what are you talking about?"

Qiao Zhu grinned: "Qin Jiashu likes you. If you don't believe it, just ask him yourself!"

Hooked!

If Qin Jiashu and Qiao Xi get involved, Qiao Xi's reputation will be stinky.

Mother Qiao, who has always been proud and arrogant, is probably going to be angry to death.

The more Qiao Zhu thought about it, the more pleased she became.

Qiao Xi was shocked by the shocking news and was confused for a while.

"That's not right...hey..."

She came back to her senses and wanted to ask, but Qiao Zhu had already walked away.

Qiao Xi stamped his feet, suddenly feeling irritated.

what the hell!

Could it be that Qiao Zhu was teasing her on purpose?

However, Qiao Zhu and Qin Jiashu were not familiar with each other. They never said a word to each other on weekdays. How could they suddenly say this.

Really unable to understand, Qiao Xi bit her lip and simply walked towards Qin Jiashu's orchard.

When she walked near the orchard, she saw at a glance that Qin Jiashu was repairing the fence gate with a saw and hammer.

Sirius half-crouched beside his legs, sticking out his tongue obediently.

Sensing the stranger's appearance, Sirius raised his ears alertly, but when he saw it was Qiao Xi, his ears drooped again.

"Oh woo~"

Qiao Xi had never seen such a big dog with human nature, and happily waved to Sirius: "Sirius!"

Sirius stood up and wagged his tail.

Qiao Xi ran over in small steps and reached out to touch Sirius: "Sirius, I was in a hurry today and didn't bring you anything delicious. I'll bring it to you another day, okay?"

"Oh~" Sirius rubbed Qiao Xi's hand comfortably.

Qin Jiashu stopped what he was doing and watched the interaction between Sirius and Qiao Xi with surprise and joy.

Sure enough, Sirius understood.

She is different from others.

Even Qin Jiashu himself didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were rising at this moment.

For a moment, she touched Sirius and he looked at her. The two of them and the dog looked very harmonious.

Qiao Xi had touched enough and looked at Qin Jiashu, but Qin Jiashu suddenly looked away when their eyes met.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips and thought of Qiao Zhu's words again.

Is it possible that Qin Jiashu really likes her?

In an instant, two red clouds appeared on Qiao Xi's fair cheeks, and her hands were twisted together unconsciously.

Qin Jiashu looked at the wood in front of him, and the movements under his hands suddenly became clumsy.

He swallowed nervously and spoke in his usual cold tone: "What are you doing here?"

Josie's face turned redder.

After hearing what Qiao Zhu said just now, her first thought was to seek confirmation, but when she stood in front of Qin Jiashu, she couldn't say anything.

If Qiao Zhu just said it casually, it would be too embarrassing for her to ask Qin Jiashu so rashly and be rejected outright.

But……

What if it's true?

The sound of children in the village laughing and playing could be heard in the distance, and Qin Jiashu's eyes suddenly turned dark.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If nothing happens, just leave quickly and don't stay here anymore."

Those children loved talking nonsense, and he didn't want any bad gossip to spread about her.

"Ah..." The blush on Josie's face disappeared, and she licked her lips: "Actually... nothing happened..."

Seeing how impatient Qin Jiashu is, he probably doesn't want to see her, so how could he like her.

Qiao Zhu really made it up and lied to her!

only……

Why does she seem a little disappointed?

Qiao Xi was in a state of confusion. He took one last look at Sirius with his head tilted and prepared to leave.

The girl's aggrieved eyebrows and uncomfortable expression after being brutalized made Qin Jiashu feel nervous.

After all, he couldn't bear it and refused to give up.

"Wait."

Qiao Xi took back his steps and looked at Qin Jiashu in confusion.

Their eyes met, Qin Jiashu quickly looked away, looked at Sirius and said, "I met your cousin today."

Qiao Xi blinked: "Cousin? Did you meet Qiao Zhu? And then what!"

"..." Qin Jiashu's eyes darkened: "She threatened me and I threw her into the ditch."

Qiao Xi: "...I'm just telling you, why is her hair wet and her body smelly? So... what did you say, you threw her into the ditch? Is it true?"

The scene must have been interesting!

It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes!

Qin Jiashu noticed from the corner of his eye that Qiao Xi seemed quite happy, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he did nothing wrong in this matter.

"I understand, it must be because you stood up to help me that day, so she came to pick a fight with you." Qiao Xi analyzed: "She is petty-minded and loves to hold grudges. If you throw her into the ditch today, she will

I will definitely cause trouble for you in the future."

Qin Jiashu didn't care: "It doesn't matter."

There were so many people who made trouble for him, and she was not the only one who was missing.

Qin Jiashu saw that Qiao Xi was still unsatisfied, so he told Qiao Xi about throwing Qiao Zhu into the ditch and what happened after that.

"So, in order not to have anything to do with me, she probably won't come to me again."

Josie laughed loudly.

Why is this Qiao Zhu so funny?

"Haha, you were so angry that you threw her into the ditch, but she thought you were trying to be scornful of her!"

Ha ha ha ha!

"What is she thinking in her head..." Qiao Xi laughed enough, holding her stomach and shaking her head: "Then I understand why Qiao Zhu said that to me when she just saw me."

Qin Jiashu frowned: "What did she tell you?"

Could it be...

"It's nothing, just say you like me. Haha, are you shocked too? Let me tell you, I was also shocked when I heard it!" Since it was a misunderstanding, Qiao Xi said it without any burden.

.

Qin Jiashu's hand holding the saw was so hard that his fingertips turned white.

This Qiao Zhu actually told Qiao Xi!

Qiao Xi waved his hand: "Don't be too angry. It will be fine if we talk it over now. Qiao Zhu must be angry with you, so she wants to slander you. Don't worry, I won't believe it."

Qin Jiashu: "..."

Although her reaction was what he had hoped for, she smiled so happily...

Seeing that Qin Jiashu's face turned even more ugly, Qiao Xi quickly stopped smiling.

"You don't want to hear this, right? Then I won't say it." Josie took a deep breath and rolled her eyes quickly: "By the way, you helped me last time, and I didn't have a chance to say thank you.

Woolen cloth."

Qin Jiashu: "...No need."

Qiao Xi pursed his lips: "How can you not use it? People like you usually don't talk much, but you lied in front of so many people because of me..."

"Lying?" Qin Jiashu was a little puzzled. He repeated these two words with a serious look on his face: "I didn't lie that day."

This time, it was Josie's turn to wonder.

She was surprised: "So, you really saw my sister-in-law stealing food that morning?"

Qin Jiashu nodded.

He took Sirius out early that morning, and when he passed Qiao's house, he accidentally saw Sun Hailan's sneaky movements.
