"What's wrong? What's that expression?" Gong Qing fixed her beautiful eyes on Chu Feng.
"Nothing, this is just my natural expression." Chu Feng hurriedly adjusted his face, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to force a smile.
Gong Qing rolled her eyes at Chu Feng as if he were an idiot, then asked, "So what about you? What's your name?"
"Miss, this… is it okay if I don't say?" Chu Feng said.
"What, is your name so ugly you're too embarrassed to tell people?"
"Names are given by one's parents. Would you really be afraid of others laughing at you?" Gong Qing looked at Chu Feng with disdain.
The reason Chu Feng didn't want to say it was, of course, because of this Gong Qing's older sister — Gong Mingyue.
Since Chu Feng wanted absolutely no entanglement with that Gong Mingyue, he didn't want to reveal his identity.
But after hearing Gong Qing's words, he actually found them quite reasonable.
The name "Chu Feng" was given by his parents. Though he didn't know whether it was his father or his mother who chose it, there was nothing shameful about it.
On the contrary, Chu Feng was proud of it.
As the saying went, one should never change one's name or surname — and that was exactly what this meant.
No matter how many reasons there might be, one shouldn't hide one's name.
Besides, it was only a joke of an engagement. Chu Feng simply didn't want any connection, but it wasn't as though he was afraid of anything.
Forget a mere joke of an engagement — even if it were a serious betrothal, if Chu Feng wanted to break it off, no one could stop him.
With that thought, the somewhat guilty Chu Feng regained his confidence. He immediately straightened up and blurted out two words:
"Chu Feng."
"Chu Feng?" Just as expected, upon hearing Chu Feng's name, Gong Qing's expression froze. She fell into thought, and after a long while she murmured in a low voice, "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
But obviously, Gong Qing only found it familiar — her impression of the name wasn't deep at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to recall who it belonged to.
As for Chu Feng, he simply smiled. He wouldn't bother reminding Gong Qing, let alone tell her that he was her future brother-in-law.
The formation Chu Feng had taught Gong Qing was quite complex, but once you grasped the key tricks, setting it up was actually relatively simple.
And when Chu Feng had drawn out the deployment method, he had already incorporated those key tricks into the instructions. So as Gong Qing set up the formation now, she didn't need to be overly focused.
Chu Feng and Gong Qing chatted casually, and he learned a bit about the hedgehog.
No one actually knew what species this hedgehog was. Gong Qing had stumbled upon it by chance in an ancient mountain that had been passed down since primordial times.
When she first encountered the hedgehog, Gong Qing had still been a child. In a sense, the hedgehog had grown up alongside her, so it was incredibly important to her.
Under the treatment of Chu Feng's formation, the gravely ill hedgehog quickly began to improve.
Seeing this, Gong Qing devoted herself wholeheartedly to healing the hedgehog.
In the end, the hedgehog, which had been groggy and half-conscious, actually woke up.
"Chu Feng, you're amazing! My little Prickles actually…"
