As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Jiang Cheng and Su Wan sat on the sofa by the coffee table, while Shen Qing and the female knight sat on stools opposite them, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a joint trial.

"What's your relationship with that girl from earlier in the day?"

Su Wan spoke first: "Is she really your girlfriend?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, then asked another question.

"Also, how did you get to know the chairman of Shanhe Heavy Industry Group? Don't tell me his son is your colleague, would he invite you to dinner just because of that?"

He remembered that Xie's father said he was treating everyone to dinner today, that the chairman of a big corporation was treating a few little brats.

"No, if you all ask questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

Shen Qing raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Let's go one by one."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing's eyes darted around, and he coughed lightly, "That was true before."

"Um?"

"Gu Jingshi and I dated for two years in college, but we broke up in the first half of the year."

Shen Qing forced a smile and explained, "And I know Uncle Xie, it's really because of Xie Chong. Don't you believe me? I was just doing my part to save him."

He took out his phone and showed the reward message from the police department. "Here, this is the evidence. I also helped catch a theft gang."

Jiang Cheng frowned instantly. "You've got some nerve, kid? You dare to mess with a theft gang?"

"Nothing's wrong, is it?" Shen Qing muttered.

"You dare talk back?"

Jiang Cheng jumped to his feet and looked around. Safety was a concern, and this was unacceptable!

Upon seeing this, Shen Qing instinctively wanted to run away.

"Hey, big brother, this isn't like when we were kids. You might not be able to beat me if you try to fight."

Jiang Cheng froze, and under Su Wan's gaze, he could only suppress his anger and continue:

"So you got a girlfriend, and you haven't even mentioned her once? You don't spend any money on your girlfriends?"

Even with the school subsidy, Shen Qing only earns a little over a thousand yuan a month.

I guess it's just enough for my own meals?

"No need, we just stroll around the food street at most, and often we just sit and chat."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan and Jiang Cheng cast surprised glances at them.

Putting aside the fact that the rich girl is so easily satisfied, is this the kind of thing you should do when you're in a relationship?

Jiang Cheng asked instinctively, "So, the breakup was your problem?"

"No, what do you mean, bro?"

Shen Qing widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "She doesn't like to run around, she just likes to stay in quiet places, that's how we get along."

"It's not anyone's fault, it's just inappropriate. You all saw her today."

"Then why does she still say she's your girlfriend?"

"How would I know?"

"...That's true." Jiang Cheng nodded.

It's not that Shen Qing isn't good enough, but rather that the two are too different from each other. He's an orphan, and even if the woman doesn't mind, her family might not.

Seeing this, Su Wan didn't press further, but changed the subject, "What's the situation with Xiao Tang?"

Hearing this affectionate address, Shen Qing's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Shen Qingtang. What was going on?

He probed, "You've been here so long, shouldn't you already know?"

"We just want to hear what you have to say," Su Wan said meaningfully, "so you'd better have a reasonable explanation. Xiao Tang seems to have just come of age."

Shen Qing looked at Shen Qingtang again. She had just come of age and looked quite young.

Holy crap, that was close! I almost ended up in jail.

Shen Qing quickly explained, "It's just a friend staying here for a while. The last time she wore my clothes was an accident. She hasn't been here long, and her clothes were dirty and she didn't have any to change into."

Faced with the suspicious looks from Jiang Cheng and the other man, he raised his voice.

"Everything I said is true. She's all alone here, and I've been taking care of her like a younger sister!"

Besides, I have two bedrooms here, and we're completely innocent!

Shen Qing spoke with great passion and fervor, almost as if he were swearing an oath to the heavens.

Shen Qingtang nodded, somewhat reservedly saying, "Sister-in-law, what Shen Qing said is true."

The words had barely left his mouth when Shen Qing's eyes widened instantly. He glanced sharply at the female warrior. Was this right? Wasn't this just creating more misunderstandings?

Although it doesn't seem wrong to address a friend's older brother and sister-in-law in this way.

Innocent and pure?

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng and Su Wan gave each other a "you're making this up" look, but didn't press the matter further.

"Whether it's true or not, you'd better figure out how to handle your relationship with that girl from earlier in the day."

Half an hour later, a physically and mentally exhausted Shen Qing finally saw off her elder brother and sister-in-law.

He closed the door, leaned against it and let out a long sigh, then looked at Shen Qingtang, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled:

"So, Lady Tang, what exactly did you talk about while I was away?"

My older brother and sister-in-law didn't ask about my identity, family background, or even how we met. I even prepared a script for this!

"I didn't ask anything." Shen Qingtang shook her head.

"It's about how big it is, what it's called, and then big... My sister-in-law saw me watching cooking videos, so she taught me how to cook."

It's just that I'm calling my benefactor's sister-in-law along with everyone else...

The female knight-errant suddenly became a little distracted.

That's it?

Seeing Shen Qingtang pause for a moment and then nod, Shen Qing was also puzzled. Was it that easy to pass the test?

No, he's just sick. Not asking isn't a good thing.

Just as Shen Qing was lost in thought, Shen Qingtang suddenly spoke up, "What's a girlfriend?"

"They were originally going to get married."

Shen Qing scratched his head, "But it might fall apart halfway through."

Shen Qingtang said "Oh," and then asked, "So it's her problem?"

"No, why are you curious about this too?" Shen Qing said, both amused and exasperated. "Didn't I tell you, being naive isn't suitable? But why don't you suspect me?"

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"You? You probably don't have the guts?" Shen Qingtang tilted her head.

Shen Qing: "..."

"I appreciate your trust, but can't you give me a positive review?"

Shen Qing shook her head, deciding not to dwell on the matter. "By the way, you said your sister-in-law taught you how to cook. Which dish was it?"

Perhaps, once Shen Qingtang truly masters the art of cooking... Shen Qing's lips unconsciously curled up, and she began to dream.

Following Shen Qingtang's gaze.

He picked up a bite of "shredded potatoes," and his expression instantly twitched.

The "Yarn Potato Shreds" dish is clearly "Stir-fried Potato Shreds with Ginger," I wonder who came up with this terrible idea.

Tang, the heroine, has a long and arduous road ahead in her culinary journey!

"Was this a dirty trick from the eldest brother?"

"My older brother said that you should eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, and that you like to eat ginger too."

Shen Qing chuckled.

"Speaking of which, we might encounter a situation like this again, and we can't keep putting off your identity issue indefinitely."

Whether we can go back is uncertain, but we can't stay in the dark forever.

He frowned.

In earlier years, saying she was an unregistered resident might have been enough to fool people, but now it's much more troublesome, and more importantly, no trace of Lady Tang can be found.

"Is my identity troublesome?" Shen Qingtang asked.

"Let me verify your identity with you first," Shen Qing said, taking out her phone's memo app. "Although my older brother and the others didn't ask, it's just in case."

"You came from a remote mountain village, you're an orphan... But how did we meet?"

"orphan……"

Just as Shen Qing was struggling with her decision, upon hearing these two words, Shen Qingtang seemed to react strongly.

"no."

"Um?"

"Not an orphan!"

Shen Qingtang suddenly raised her voice and tensed up, startling Shen Qing.

"Okay, no, no, this is just to give you a legitimate identity in this world."

He felt that his tolerance level was not low when facing the female knight-errant, but what about his ID card?

Report it to higher authorities?

Demons and monsters are everywhere these days, so it's not surprising that an ancient female bodyguard would appear, right?

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he shook his head and banished it.

"Forget it," Shen Qing slapped her thigh and stood up. "I got off work early today and have nothing to do. Come on, I'll teach you math!"

How dare she yell at him! This female warrior will have to experience the power of modern nine-year compulsory education!
