The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 175 Children

Situ Dai saw that Zhou Ning had charming features but cold eyes, and her childish face was full of disdain.

"This must be the legendary Miss Mingxia's youngest daughter. You are indeed very charming, but you have an arrogant and domineering personality. I'm afraid that no noble young man in Qingzhou would dare to marry someone like you." Situ Dai was bullying Zhou Ning in his words.

Zhou Ning chuckled, looked Situ Dai up and down, and said, "If all the men in Qingzhou were like you, I would still marry the Toad Spirit."

"It turns out that he has long hair but short knowledge. He only knows how to say sour words to hurt people." Situ Dai said with a frown.

"A real man should have ambitions, whether he is in a high position in the government and worries about his king, or in a remote place and worries about his people. It is true that only men and villains are difficult to raise as they keep talking about getting married and having children." Zhou Ning quickly retorted without leaving any room for negotiation.

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Zhou Ning, Situ Dai pointed the finger at Su Da and asked, "Old Su, is this how you educate your granddaughter?"

Su Da calmly bowed to Situ Dai and said, "It is indeed my fault that Ah Ning has been away for more than ten years. I hope Master Situ will forgive me."

Su Rudong saw that Situ Dai looked unhappy, but he couldn't get angry either, so he knew that he was a real coward. However, his goal today was achieved.

From today on, all of Qingzhou will know that the granddaughter of the Su family is arrogant and does not know etiquette.

Su Rudong bowed to Situ Dai and said with tears in her eyes, "Master Situ, it's getting late. You should go back home earlier. I apologize for the poor hospitality of our Su Mansion today."

Seeing that Su Rudong was trying hard to keep his family respectable even when he was wronged, Situ Dai felt even more sympathetic towards Su Rudong.

"Rudong, forget it. For your sake, I won't bother with that little girl." Situ Dai glanced at everyone in the room, and finally snorted and left.

After the farce was over, everyone returned to the courtyards arranged by Suda to rest.

On the way back, Zhou Ning called Qi Ji, intending to discuss business with him, but saw Qi Ji standing eight feet away from him and said, "A Ning, if you have anything to discuss with A Zhao, I have no objection."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Bai Zhao jumped up to Zhou Ning and said, "Ning, can you tell me what you want to say?"

Zhou Ning laughed dryly, waved at Bai Zhao, and said, "None of your business, go have fun."

Bai Zhao walked away disappointedly.

Zhou Ning thought Qi Ji was a little strange and asked Shen You, "Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Knowing that Qi Ji was trying to avoid suspicion, Shen You said awkwardly, "Haha, maybe he thinks there is a difference between men and women."

Zhou Ning didn't understand. In Anzhou, everyone played together, but now there was suddenly a strict separation between men and women. Was he sick?

He is really a little brat, no, he is a nagging little brat, a little kid’s dad.

Zhou Ning and Shen You lived in a courtyard called "Sumuzha".

The night was chilly, but it could not block the soft light of the moon, which passed through thin clouds and fell on a roof of Su Muzhe.

Shen You was tired and fell asleep early.

Zhou Ning was eating a peach, lying on the roof, enjoying a relaxing time.

Seeing Zhou Ning leisurely eating a peach, Bai Zhao quietly walked over to her, sat next to her, and suddenly scared her: "What are you doing?!"

Zhou Ning was shocked and kicked Bai Zhao: "You're going to die, you're so elusive in the middle of the night."

Bai Zhao smiled and did not evade, but asked: "Are you worried about something?"

Zhou Ning took a bite of the peach in her hand and said nothing.

"Is it about Su Rudong?"

Zhou Ning stopped chewing the peach, paused, and asked, "She is making such a fuss just to ruin my reputation, but... why is she doing this?"

Bai Zhao scratched his head, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because she... is jealous of you?"

Zhou Ning denied this reason and said, "She is a person with a strong sense of family honor, and my bad reputation will also affect her marriage. She will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit herself."

"That's strange. There is no conflict of interest between her and you." Bai Zhao said puzzledly.

Conflict of interest?

Zhou Ning thought about these words over and over again. Suddenly, Zhou Ning sat up, eyes shining. He patted Bai Zhao's head and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, you are quite smart."

"I told you not to call me Xiaobai. It's like calling a dog." Bai Zhao looked at Zhou Ning resentfully.

"Then what should I call you? A Zhao?" Zhou Ning stood up and prepared to go down.

Ah Zhao?

After hearing these words, Bai Zhao's face flushed. He looked at Zhou Ning's back and stammered, "You, you called me Ah Zhao?"

Zhou Ning had already jumped off the roof and looked up at Bai Zhao.

Bai Zhao stood on the roof, his figure tall and straight, his youthfulness faded a little, and behind him was a bright moon.

"Why? What do you want to say?"

Zhou Ning asked doubtfully.

The door was suddenly opened and Shen You was thrown out of the house.

Shen You had been awakened by the noise made by Bai Zhao and Zhou Ning a long time ago. She was listening with great interest when the door was pushed open.

Shen You feels that he should move to another planet now.

"Wow, the moonlight is so beautiful. Let's enjoy it together." Shen You said, clapping his hands, with the mentality that if I'm not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.

Zhou Ning brushed the dust off Shen You and said, "Sure, I can't sleep, let's play together."

"Okay...ok." Bai Zhao agreed resentfully.

Finally, the three of them watched the moon together, Shen You sat in the middle, Bai Zhao and Zhou Ning sat on both sides of her.

Shen You would occasionally say some meaningless words to break the awkwardness.

"Wow, the clouds are so beautiful."

"Wow, the moon is so beautiful."

"Wow, the stars are beautiful too."

Zhou Ning and Bai Zhao agreed perfunctorily.

Perhaps because she was too bored, Zhou Ning fell asleep unknowingly, leaning on Shen You's shoulder.

"She fell asleep."

Shen You pointed at Zhou Ning and whispered to Bai Zhao.

Seeing that Zhou Ning was fast asleep, Bai Zhao complained to Shen You, "Why don't you continue sleeping? Why did you have to come out?"

When this was mentioned, Shen You got angry: "I didn't mean it, okay? It's just that you don't live up to your expectations. I said, can you do something a suitor should do instead of just following Ah Ning and saying irrelevant things every day?"

Bai Zhao's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said helplessly: "Then... I don't dare."

Shen You held his forehead and said, "Wake up. If you continue like this, you will be single for the rest of your life."

"No." Bai Zhao said with a bitter face: "Yuzi, please give me some guidance."

Shen You looked very compassionate and said slowly:

"The first step is to give a gift—"
