"You overthink it; how could I be angry with you? We are, after all, legitimate cousins. The reality is that the provincial exam is imminent, and I'm not as smart as you, my cousin, so I have to work harder. I didn't expect my daily reading would lead you to misunderstand."
Cunning Jingzhe would never show any dislike for Gu Ruinian in front of Mr. Gu.
Even if he was thoroughly annoyed by this cousin.
The words this cousin just said were clearly setting a trap for him.
How could he fall for it?
Isn't it about bringing someone along? Mother has long said that since Gu Ruinian always harbors malice, bringing him along is safer for me.
Gu Ruinian pretended to be embarrassed and said, "As long as Brother Jingzhe is not angry with me. Grandpa always says you can't write the character for 'Gu' without two strokes; we are both grandpa's grandsons and must work together to honor our ancestors."
