The hard and fragile jade was like a real sugar cube under Jiang Lan’s claws. The prototype of the tail ring was polished quickly. It was about three fingers thick, and the diameter just fit the injured dragon tail of Ying Qiao. The tail ring was still a bit thick and needed to be carefully thinned until it could fit tightly with the dragon’s tail. Then the restriction was engraved with secret methods, and it became a spiritual weapon that could change with the body shape.
——Although this spiritual weapon was just a pure decoration.
Jiang Lan held the jade tail ring up to the light for a while, then hid the polished product with satisfaction. He collected all the scraps of jade material and put them into a small bag, which he carried with him as a snack bag. When he was too hungry, he could take out a piece to temporarily satisfy his hunger.
During this time, the two of them kept talking on the phone. Ying Qiao listened to the little chatter on his end with a smile in his eyes: “After you finish cleaning up, go to bed early. There’s no need to worry about the tail ring.”
“Anxious.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lan was very serious: “This is a token of love. Now that I have tied you down, you can’t regret it.”
When humans got married, they would have engagement rings. Putting a ring on a lover meant to firmly bind the other person. That ring was round, and the tail ring was also round. When Jiang Lan thought about making the tail ring, he had selfish motives. He thought that if Ying Qiao took his tail ring, he would not be able to regret it even if he knew his true identity in the future.
The abacus was clacking!
“Well, I won’t regret it.” Ying Qiao’s heart moved, and he added: “You can’t regret it anymore.”
“I won’t regret it as well.”
Jiang Lan thought, where can I find another boyfriend who is handsome and has a good personality if I change my mind?!
The two reached a consensus and were very satisfied with each other’s answers. They then said good night to each other before hanging up the phone.
….
When Bi’an came back carrying a lot of bags, he saw Jiang Lan mopping the floor with a smile on his face.
“???”
He looked puzzled: “What are you so happy about?”
Jiang Lan had an unhappy expression on his face before he left, so why is he so happy now?
Would he sneak out to meet Ying Long?
Bi’an immediately became alert: “You went out?”
“No.” Jiang Lan would not tell him the truth. If his fourth brother knew the truth, he would be interrogated again. He pouted and complained deliberately: “I haven’t recovered from spending two days with you. How can I have the energy to go out?”
Bi’an thought so too. He put the packaging bags of different sizes on the sofa and called the three kids over: “I bought some clothes for you as well. Come and have a look.”
The three little ones gathered around curiously and watched Bi’an open the packaging bag.
While removing the tag, Bi’an asked quietly, “Did your fifth brother go out tonight?”
“Don’t even think about bribing us.” Suan Ni’s eyes rolled around: “We won’t betray Fifth Brother!”
Bi’an flicked his forehead with his finger and said with a click of the tongue: “If he hadn’t gone out, how could it be considered betrayal if you told the truth? If he had gone out, wouldn’t it be fine if you didn’t say anything?”
What he said seemed to make some sense. Suan Ni tilted his head and wagged his tail: “Fifth brother didn’t go out at night!”
Bi’an rubbed his little head with a smile: “You are so obedient.”
Suan Ni: “???”
Something seemed to be wrong.
He opened his golden cat eyes wide, turned his head and looked at Jiang Chi and Jiao Tu in confusion.
The two of them turned their faces away with indescribable expressions.
So silly.
Bi’an got the answer he wanted and was very satisfied. He gave the clothes to the kids and asked them to go back to their rooms to try them on.
Jiao Tu and Jiang Chi both got a full set of clothes and shoes, while Suan Ni got two sets of small clothes for pet cats.
Jiao Tu and Jiang Chi went back to their room to change into new clothes, and Suan Ni took his own clothes and put them on his head. But it got stuck halfway through, and the rest of the clothes couldn’t be put on.
“…”
Suan Ni puffed up his face, sucked in his stomach desperately, and stuffed the food in with perseverance.
Seeing this, Bi’an couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “It seems that I bought it too small.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Suan Ni’s belly and said, “Or have you gained weight again?”
“…”
“I’m not fat!” Suan Ni angrily took off his little clothes and threw them into Bi’an’s arms, then turned around and left him showing his angry and fat back.
Bi’an laughed even louder behind him.
He even said with a smile: “I’ll change it to a bigger size for you tomorrow.”
“I don’t want it anymore!” Suan Ni jumped up and down, feeling that as long as the annoying fourth brother was in this family, there would be no place for him!
….
After finishing the bedtime call, Ying Qiao was about to rest but was called again by Tai Feng and Chen Hua who came to his house.
He was wearing pajamas and looked a little gloomy: “It’s time to rest now.”
Tai Feng looked him up and down, as if it was the first day he met him, and spread his hands: “When did you start to take care of your health so well? Did you finally realize that you are too old and need to take good care of yourself?”
“If you came here just to talk nonsense, then you can get out now.” Ying Qiao had a blank expression on his face as he opened the door to see the guest off.
“So angry?”
Tai Feng shut up angrily and stopped talking. So, he got down to business: “The reception for the delegation this time will be led by Bi’an and Taotie.”
He confirmed again without giving up: “You really aren’t going?”
“No.” Ying Qiao looked at him as if he was mentally retarded: “Why would I go? Add fuel to the flames of the diplomatic corps? Let the two sides start fighting sooner?”
Tai Feng rolled his eyes: “I knew you were unreliable. I hope Taotie is stronger than you. At least he won’t fight over a disagreement.”
“Taotie?” Ying Qiao’s eyebrows moved, thinking of the fierce look of the other party when they met on the rooftop before, and his suspicion of Tai Feng’s intelligence deepened a little: “Let Taotie receive the delegation? Are you prepared for him to eat the entire delegation alive in case of a conflict?”
Taotie wasn’t much better than him, right?
“Isn’t this what Bi’an proposed? I can’t refuse.”
Tai Feng said: “Besides, my old Hu said before that Taotie is not as vicious as people say. He has been working peacefully in a grassroots unit, and has made a lot of achievements in just two or three months…”
“Okay, stop it.”
Ying Qiao made a gesture to interrupt him, not wanting to hear any more words praising Taotie.
Otherwise, he might not be able to resist the urge to fight Taotie any minute.
Tai Feng’s expression was indescribable. He complained to Chen Hua in a loud voice: “How can you stand him? Does the bonus include compensation for mental damage?”
Chen Hua showed off his standard smile with eight teeth as he said: “If it’s not important, just treat it as if he farted, don’t be hard on yourself.”
“That makes sense.” Tai Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Ying Qiao’s expression turned grim: “Do you want me to install another speaker for you?”
“No, that’s enough!”
Tai Feng coughed and made a zipper-like motion around his mouth. He put away his playful expression and pushed the document he brought to Ying Qiao: “Take a look at this. It’s better if you don’t go this time. Let Bi’an and Taotie attract attention in public. You coordinate in secret.”
Ying Qiao frowned: “What do you mean? Is there anything else for this exchange visit?”
If it was just an ordinary communication interview, even if the other party intended to provoke trouble, Tai Feng would not let him secretly support it.
“We suspect that someone else took advantage of this exchange visit to sneak into China. The diplomatic mission was just a cover.”
Speaking of this, Tai Feng’s expression gradually became serious: “There is no clear evidence at present, but when our people investigated the members of the delegation, they noticed that one of the two dragons who came this time had a twin brother.”
According to the information they had, the twin brothers had always been inseparable, Jiao was always with Meng and Meng was always with Jiao. It didn’t make sense that they would suddenly separate during this exchange in China.
And their people did capture a blurry photo at the Chinese border, the person in the photo looked very similar to the twin brother. At that time, the delegation was still going through the entry procedures at the border.
That’s why Tai Feng suspected that his brother didn’t follow the delegation this time. He actually concealed his whereabouts and planned to sneak into China under the cover of the delegation. If his guess was correct, then the other party would definitely follow him to Jiangcheng.
At present, they had not found out the real purpose of the delegation, so they could only make preparations to prevent them from causing trouble.
“Got it.” Ying Qiao frowned slightly: “Call me if you have anything.”
After saying that, he stood up and said as if to see the guest off: “Now get out of here.”
Tai Feng: …
He sat firmly. “It’s a rare visit for me, and I didn’t even have a sip of water. And don’t you want to talk about your boyfriend with your good friends?”
Ying Qiao frowned and stared at him.
After a while, he turned around and took two bottles of mineral water and placed them on the coffee table, then impatiently drove people away: “I don’t want to, take the water and get out.”
“What the hell???”
Tai Feng was shocked by his shamelessness again, and his face was full of “I know you are shameless but I didn’t know you are so shameless.”
Chen Hua, on the other hand, had a calm expression as if he was used to it. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and pushed Tai Feng out, urging him, “Hurry up, hurry up, or he’ll spit fire again.”
“If you dare to face the bleakness of life, you are a true warrior.”
Tai Feng looked at Chen Hua with admiration: “You are the perfect example of someone who values money over life.”
Chen Hua: …
Why did this sound wrong?
….
After a day of hiding on Wednesday night, Jiang Lan still couldn’t escape the clutches of his fourth brother on Thursday night and was forcibly taken to the mall again.
Bi’an wanted to buy a watch to match his suit, but he couldn’t find one that he liked. Jiang Lan felt dizzy looking at the dazzling array of watches in the counter, and after looking at so many, he felt that every watch looked the same.
So he took advantage of Bi’an’s inattention and slipped away secretly.
After returning home, he sent a message to Bi’an, saying that his elder brother had just given him a watch, so he didn’t need to buy it and went home to rest first.
In order to reassure Bi’an, he also attached a selfie of himself at home.
As expected, Bi’an didn’t say anything. Jiang Lan greeted the kids happily, then took out the tail ring and continued to polish it.
The rough product needed to be further polished and thinned, then engraved with forbidden dark patterns, and finally cleaned and polished. Now a simple and elegant jade tail ring was completed.
Jiang Lan looked at the light for a while and felt more and more satisfied. He then imagined putting the tail ring on Ying Qiao’s tail with his own hands and became a little impatient.
He found the box he had prepared long ago, carefully placed the jade tail ring inside, hid it in his bag, and planned to take it to work tomorrow, then find a chance to give it to Ying Qiao as a surprise.
After finishing all this, he rolled over on the bed for a while. He was so eager to show off and get affirmation that he couldn’t help but get up, took out the box, took a photo and sent it to Ying Qiao: [Done, I’ll come to see you during lunch break tomorrow =3=]
Ying Qiao looked at the black square box in the photo. When he thought that it contained the tail ring that Jiang Lan had made for him, his eyes softened unconsciously: [Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.]
