Water Margin: Gao Yanei is actually a Gal Genius

The next day, Gao Jin lay on the couch waiting and waiting but did not see his two brothers. Instead, he received a message from them through a messenger.

Today, the senior monk is going to the mountains with Li Yan to see the methods of the Mountain God.

Lin Chong was still training at the Palace Commander's Mansion. It turned out that news of the martial arts competition and rank determination after the Mid-Autumn Festival had spread, and those who had aspirations had begun to work hard. Although Lin Chong was confident, he was still a little uneasy, so he simply joined the army in training.

Now, Gao Jin was completely all alone. His usual lively surroundings were now suddenly replaced by silence, which felt somewhat strange.

He could only lie on the soft couch in the yard, basking in the sun and lost in thought, thinking that taking some calcium supplements couldn't hurt.

Those two brothers are really inhuman. If they're not coming, they're not coming either. They clearly said yesterday that they would come to keep him company.

"Brother Gao, how did you get hurt?" The voice was clear and bright, revealing the girl's innocent charm.

To Gao Jin, it sounded like a demon banging on the door. "Didn't I tell Lao Deng to only contact Old Chen? Why did this crazy woman follow me here?"

No, who let this crazy woman in? Isn't the Song Dynasty supposed to be extremely strict about separating men and women? What is this woman doing in the men's courtyard?

Gao Jin stiffly turned his neck to look, and saw Chen Liqing standing in the courtyard, dressed in autumn clothes, facing the west wind, exuding a neat and efficient air that was suitable for both warm and cold weather and moved with ease.

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: -10.]

"It's over, they're coming for me!"

Despite the pain, Gao Jin tried to throw off the quilt and escape. But a tremendous force came from behind him, and he was unable to move for a moment.

Chen Liqing used one hand to hold down Gao Jin, who was trying to run away, through the brocade quilt, and teased him gently, "Brother Gao, do you want to go to the toilet again?"

"Exactly! Exactly! Miss Chen, please do me a favor..." Gao Jin wanted to use the same trick again, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.

Chen Liqing waved her empty wrist in front of him, and he clearly saw a stick tip sticking out from her sleeve.

It wasn't that Gao Jin didn't want to call the guards. First, this crazy woman was really good at fighting, and calling the guards wouldn't be able to subdue her. It might even provoke her, since she really was insane and it was impossible to predict what she would do.

Secondly, it's quite shameful to talk about being hit by a woman. Last time, the maid could be said to have been attracted to Gao Jin's good looks, but how do you explain this crazy woman's behavior—that she enjoys spanking Gao Jin?

Gao Jin quickly changed the subject, "...I suddenly don't want to go anymore. It's better to stay here and chat with the girl."

"Now that Brother Gao is willing to talk to me, what should we talk about?" Chen Liqing whispered.

The stick in front of Gao Jin's eyes had grown longer. Seeing this, he quickly said, "Miss Chen, you don't know, I had just finished relieving myself the other day and was about to come back to find you, but I ran into a servant in the manor..."

"Brother Gao, do you still want to fool your little sister? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?" Chen Liqing said gently.

The short stick in front of Gao Jin was almost completely out of his sleeve when he suddenly realized something and said, "I'm sorry, young lady, I shouldn't have deceived Miss Chen."

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: 30.] Gao Jin was puzzled. What the heck is this?

"How can a good man lie to a girl so easily? I am truly happy that Brother Gao understands this principle," Chen Liqing said softly.

The short stick in front of Gao Jin retracted halfway, and he realized that this matter was not over. "Miss Chen, how have you been these past two days? Please don't be angry. I apologize to you."

"Not so good. It was the first time I was tricked. I was so angry that I strangled a raccoon dog, kicked a black dog to death, and even knocked away a flock of geese," Chen Liqing said quietly.

The stick remained there, neither increasing nor decreasing. "It's all my fault, all my fault for being so ignorant and making the young lady so angry..." Gao Jin said, trying to appease her while muttering to himself. Luckily, there are no animal rights activists in the Song Dynasty, otherwise this crazy woman would be in deep trouble... No, wait, if an animal rights activist meets a mentally ill person, who wins?

"Is this all Brother Gao wanted to say to his little sister? Did you forget something?" Chen Liqing asked in a sweet voice.

"Uh... what did I forget?" Gao Jin repeated subconsciously.

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: -10.] Damn it, are you sick?! No, she really is sick.

"Brother Gao, have you forgotten why I came to see you last time?" Chen Liqing asked softly.

Gao Jin thought carefully. Right, she asked me to apologize last time she came. What mistake? ...How do I apologize?

Gao Jin closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." But the expected "What did you do wrong?" never came.

"It's good that Brother Gao has come to his senses. How could he even think of punching a young woman in the face?"

No, sis. I didn't hit it, did I?

He glanced over and saw that the stick was completely tucked back into his sleeve. Gao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, having no desire to argue with the mentally ill man.

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: 35.] Gao Jin finally understood that it didn't matter much whether the woman's favorability rating was high or low; she would still hit you if she wanted to.

"I'm sorry to have frightened Brother Gao. Let me offer you a toast." Chen Liqing took two glasses of wine, handed one to Gao Jin, and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at the drinks in his hand, Gao Jin felt that today was truly exciting.

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: 34.] Gao Jin quickly endured the pain, turned to the side, and drank the wine in one gulp.

[Chen Liqing's favorability rating: 36.]

Gao Jin wanted to yell, "Are you training a dog here?"

"Father said that Brother Gao can tell stories? Why don't you tell him a story to keep him company and help him relieve his worries?" Chen Liqing looked at Gao Jin with a smile in her eyes.

Gao Jin hesitated for a moment, then finally began to tell his story. Tears welled in his eyes. Brothers, I miss you all so much.

.....

In a small building next to the Gao residence, Gao Qiu and Chen Xizhen were drinking together by a small window. "Grand Commandant, how is my daughter?"

It turned out that Chen Xizhen, upon hearing that her prospective son-in-law missed him, immediately wanted to visit Gao Jin at the Gao residence. However, Chen Liqing, upon hearing this, insisted on coming along, saying that she had never met Gao Jin before and that she should bring him along to meet him.

The old Taoist priest thought about it and decided it would work. He had lied the other day about his daughter being possessed by a demon, so today he could take her to Gao Qiu and say that his fellow disciples had already subdued the demon.

Let's talk about the matter of the woman entering the hospital.

The old Taoist priest, with a favorability rating of 67, has taken Gao Jin as his son-in-law. What's wrong with a daughter and son-in-law being together?

Although Gao Qiu hesitated, he was only worried that the old Taoist's daughter would harm Gao Jin. As for the woman's reputation? What did that have to do with the Gao family? It wasn't his son who would suffer.

Chen Liqing's thinking was even simpler: if Gao Jin didn't apologize today, she'd tear down the Gao mansion and break his legs. What reputation did she care? Couldn't Chen Liqing find a man?

Looking at Chen Liqing chatting and laughing with Gao Jin in the distance, Gao Qiu was quite satisfied. Her appearance and figure were both excellent. Although Chen Laodao was only a military officer, she had a good reputation in the army. It would be appropriate for them to become in-laws.

After hearing Chen Laodao's words, Grand Commandant Gao was still somewhat hesitant. They were all adults and had a long-standing relationship. Gao Qiu knew that as long as Chen Laodao nodded in approval, the marriage would be settled.

However, Old Master Chen said that the demon on his daughter's body had been suppressed. What if it wasn't? Wouldn't that harm Gao Jin and cause the Gao family line to die out? You must know that Gao Jin is responsible for continuing the bloodline of the third branch of the family.

But looking at the face of that young Chen girl, she was no less beautiful than the princess. If he really missed her, wouldn't his son regret it for the rest of his life?

Gao Qiu's eyes darted around, and he asked tentatively, "We've known each other for many years, and you know I've always doted on that scoundrel, so it's not appropriate for me to arrange a marriage for him without your consent."

"How about this, let the younger generation get to know each other on their own. If they really like each other, then we can discuss marriage?"

It's strange, really. Before, Gao Qiu was eager to arrange a marriage between the two families, but Old Daoist Chen was unwilling and told a lie. Now that Old Daoist Chen is eager to arrange a marriage, that previous lie is stuck in his throat.

Chen Xi felt a slight bitterness in his heart. He swallowed the bitter wine and said, "So be it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
