Jiang Yeqian’s mouth was dipping downward when Qi Qingyao looked up. She was confused for a moment, but she was not an innocent woman who knew nothing. Of course she knew what this bastard was about to do. Without a second thought, Qi Qingyao delivered a critical hit to Jiang Yeqian with her knee.
After being kneed, Jiang Yeqian bent down and curled up into a shrimp.
Whatever thoughts he had were stumped after withstanding that kick.
“You’re drunk! You dare treat me like the prostitutes in a brothel! I’ll kill you, you bastard!” Qi Qingyao started to rain down punches on him.
He had gotten wasted for the whole night, and he had tried to defile her. Really…

She slammed Jiang Yeqian down onto the floor and beat him up. Jiang Yeqian did not fight back, naturally. He was slightly awake after that beating.
Si Jin was greeted with this scene after he flew into the room through the window. He was confused. Qi Qingyao turned toward him, “Si Jin, c’mere, help me beat him up!”
“…” Si Jin walked over, still confused. He looked at Jiang Yeqian, whose eyes were closed. “He fainted…”
“He fainted?”
Qi Qingyao paused. She got up, and then kicked Jiang Yeqian again. “Let him rest today. He’s drunk.”
She had Si Jin help Jiang Yeqian up and cover him with a blanket. After that, she and Si Jin left the room. When they were in Qi Qingyao’s room, she turned to look at Si Jin expressionlessly. That went on for a while, to the extent that Si Jin started to feel uneasy.
Si Jin was strangely nervous. “What, what happened, Elder Sister?”
“Tell me, where did you go last night?” Qi Qingyao’s grin was innocent.
“Last night…” Si Jin paused.
“If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll have you leave now.” Qi Qingyao pointed at the door with a smile.
“Why?” Si Jin said, feeling aggrieved.
Qi Qingyao slammed her palm on the table. She asked calmly, “Why, you ask? You think I don’t know that you’re not in the room every night?”
“…” She knew?
“Tell me the truth.” Qi Qingyao dug her ear calmly.
Si Jin licked his lips. He scratched the back of his head shyly. His gaze was innocent as he said, “Would you believe me if I told you that I went for a swim in the Jiuli River?”
“Swimming? In winter?”
‘Are you taking me as a fool?’
“Yes.” Si Jin nodded.
“Every night?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” Qi Qingyao slammed her hand on the table again.
“Elder Sister, I’m telling the truth.” Si Jin pouted. He pulled his stool over carefully to sit down next to her, and he pulled on her sleeve pitifully and cutely.
Qi Qingyao slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes. “Like hell I’ll believe you!”
Si Jin grabbed her hand and led it to his clothes.
“If you don’t believe me, you can touch my clothes. They’re still wet. It’s because I just returned from the Jiuli River, where the morning dew is heavy.”
Qi Qingyao, “…” His clothes were indeed damp, as if the morning dew had fallen on them.
Si Jin tried to look for more proof anxiously. “See, the hem of my clothes is wet! And I got some thorns on them too!”
Qi Qingyao looked down at the robe.
There were indeed some thorns on the hem of Si Jin’s robe, with some tiny, thorny fruits. It was a kind of plant named White-eared Grass, which indeed grew beside rivers.
Qi Qingyao picked the fruits off his clothes.
She said helplessly, “Why did you go to the Jiuli River for a swim out of the blue?” Why were both of the men she had adopted so strange?
