"After the provincial examination, I heard my father praise you for passing the Asian Yuan exam. It's a pity that I couldn't congratulate you in person. I didn't expect that you were still in Yangzhou and we happened to meet you." Xu Yin wore a veil, but the curved eyebrows could be seen. She was indeed in a good mood.
Tan Che looked at Xu Yin, who had no grudges and was smiling brightly. It was not difficult to see that she was indeed happy for him, and even had some admiration for him.
Tan Che had never interacted with others. He knew more about Xu Yin from Brother Liang, who was in the same room as him. He thought of what Yucai Academy was doing and saw Xu Yin's performance. It was hard for him to doubt that he disliked such a woman.
Qi Yuan looked at the "elegant" Xu Yin and couldn't help but sigh. In this ancient time when men and women were different, especially the original owner who was a scholar, Xu Yin's actions were hinting at the original owner.
"I just didn't expect to meet you at the rouge shop, you..." Xu Yin didn't seem to care about Tan Che's move to step back and distance himself, but instead walked closer as he spoke.
The woman's fragrance hit his nostrils, Tan Che's expression changed, he subconsciously looked in Qi Yuan's direction, sighed and took a step back.
"It just happened that if Tan has something else to do, he won't disturb Miss Xu." After Tan Che finished speaking, he handed over his hands and walked away quickly from Xu Yin's side.
"Tan Che, why are you so shy? My father is your teacher, we are in the same class, and I am also your junior sister." Xu Yin looked at Tan Che and said delicately, then stretched out his hand to hold Tan Che.
Tan Che was pulled by Xu Yin's sleeve. He immediately pulled out his sleeve as if it was stuck with something dirty, and retreated quickly to distance himself from Xu Yin.
"Miss Xu, men and women are not allowed to be intimate, please respect yourself!" Tan Che's face darkened, he glanced at Xu Yin with disgust, said a cold word and left quickly.
Xu Yin's attention was all on Tan Che, so he naturally didn't notice Qi Yuan walking by with his head lowered.
It was true that Qi Yuan was too calm and walked away like an ordinary passerby, without anything unusual at all.
Tan Che walked to the carriage and looked at Qi Yuan. He couldn't help but shake his head, "I don't know how to be polite and I don't know how to avoid suspicion."
Qi Yuan smiled without comment. Even though Xu Yin had been in this world for so long, the thoughts brought about by time travel were deep-rooted. It's not bad, it's just that this kind of thinking is really incompatible with this era.
Xu Yin thought that the pat on the shoulder and the nickname among acquaintances were normal, but in the eyes of the original owner, he was pleased with his gesture of kindness.
Just like what Xu Yin thought was a normal relationship just now, in Tan Che's view, it was a kind of humiliation. Tan Che, a serious scholar, calls Xu Yin a boudoir girl's junior sister. This not only damages Xu Yin's reputation, but also damages Tan Che's reputation.
It's just that Xu Yin obviously hasn't understood the gap yet. Looking at Xu Yin standing there with a slightly confused and aggrieved expression, Qi Yuan knew what she was thinking.
She just wanted to have a relationship with the ancient academic master, how could she not respect herself?
When Tan Che saw that Qi Yuan did not respond for a long time, he followed Qi Yuan's gaze and saw Xu Yin who was still looking at him.
"Brother Liang, it's better not to take it to heart."
"What do you think Miss Xu will do next?" Qi Yuan put Yanzhi into the carriage and turned to look at Tan Che.
"This, how do I know this?"
"She will walk five steps to the entrance of Rouge Shop, then stomp her feet and turn around to look for you." Qi Yuan glanced at Tan Che and walked towards the clothing store nearby.
Tan Che was stunned and couldn't help but look over. Sure enough, as soon as Xu Yin walked to the door, he stamped his feet and came to him angrily.
Tan Che:! ! !
Xu Yin: The more I think about it, the more I take a step back and get angrier.
With this idea in mind, Xu Yin quickly walked up to Tan Che, but Tan Che was already shocked by Qi Yuan's clever calculation. He looked at Xu Yin in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the ready-made clothing store nearby.
"Tan Che, you are dissatisfied with me. I just exchanged a few words with you. Why did you humiliate me?" Xu Yin stared, obviously very confused.
Tan Che was stunned, not expecting Xu Yin to say it directly, so he simply stopped beating around the bush.
"Ms. Xu and I are different in gender. Miss Xu holding my hand is really damaging to my reputation. Besides, men and women are not seated at the same table when they are seven years old. Miss Xu said that she is my junior sister. This makes people who don't know the story think that they are in the academy." Men and women studied together.
Besides, my relationship with Miss Xu is estranged. Miss Xu should not call me by my first name. There were a lot of etiquette in the Zhou Dynasty. I see that the young lady is naive and straightforward, so I might as well read more books like this. The young lady must be smart enough to find something wrong with it. "
Tan Che said with a cold face and was about to leave. Xu Yin was already angry, but now hearing Tan Che's words only added fuel to the fire.
"You are a macho man who looks down on women, right? Where do you come from without women? I just congratulated you and chatted with you for a few words, but you actually said that I am rude?" Xu Yin blushed angrily, breathing rapidly and feeling in his chest. Following the ups and downs, a pair of slender jade fingers pointed at Tan Che and defended him.
Tan Che didn't want to get involved with Xu Yin, but the people at Yucai Academy used his strategies as a substitute for cheating. Xu Yin's father was also a teacher at the academy, so who knows if he was involved.
But when Tan Che looked up and saw Xu Yin, those suspicions and disgust seemed to be reduced a bit, and instead he felt that Xu Yin's outspoken appearance was actually cute.
How could such a cute, innocent and straightforward woman be what he thought? She is just naive and ignorant of the world, but she is straightforward. But it was really inappropriate for him to accuse her like this.
Tan Che, who was obviously disgusted, suddenly felt that he had gone too far and felt ashamed.
"Xu..." Tan Che was about to apologize, but felt a push before the words came out of his mouth.
Qi Yuan raised his hand and pushed. Tan Che stumbled and crashed into their carriage. Tan Che quickly stretched out his hand to hold on.
Qi Yuan's strength was not strong, so Tan Che was not injured. Instead, Xu Tingyin, who had an accusatory look on his face just now, turned his head and looked at Qi Yuan.
"Why are you so rude? What if Tan Che is injured?" Seeing that Tan Che was fine, Xu Yin turned to look at the person behind Tan Che.
Qi Yuan could not avoid meeting Xu Yin's eyes. That elegant temperament and handsome face made Xu Yin's next words stuck in his mouth.
"Long time no see, how are you, Miss." Qi Yuan greeted politely, and then looked at Tan Che.
"Brother Liang, this..." Tan Che's eyes regained clarity, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought about what he had just thought. Was he crazy? To think that way.
Qi Yuan nodded to express his understanding, "There is a clothing store in front. I have enough time. Brother Tan, do you want to go and look at the clothes together?"
Tan Che nodded when he heard this, and they left in a hurry. Besides, now that he was richer, it was time to buy some clothes for his parents and little sister.
Tan Che followed Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan didn't even look at Xu Yin, and turned around and returned to the clothing store.
