Oops, I've become the puppy apprentice of my stupid master.

Chu Jinning simply took off his coat and put it on the other person.

Words of blame followed one after another, "Song Zhili, you are wearing this in such a cold weather, are you trying to save your life?"

Song Zhili gradually came back to his senses at this moment. He turned his head to look beside him, and when he found out who the person was, he subconsciously prepared to salute.

"Common people see..."

"What are you talking about?"

Chu Jinning quickly helped the man up. He frowned and said, "This is not the imperial palace. You don't need to perform these formalities outside."

Song Zhili nodded, and he forced a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you come here today? It must be very cold on the road, right?"

"It's not cold. I have nothing to do, so I came to see you."

Looking at the other person's red eyes, all the words that he wanted to question were swallowed back into his stomach.

Chu Jinning raised her hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears at the corners of his eyes, her eyes full of heartache.

"Why are you crying? Did something bother you?"

Song Zhili sighed, then turned his gaze to the window where the snow was falling heavily.

"It's been six years, and I still haven't heard anything about my master. I've always believed that he's not dead, but after so long, why... why hasn't he appeared yet..."

"Ali..."

Chu Jining never thought that after so much time had passed, the other party still only had his master in his heart.

But now, seeing his beloved one in pain, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this person.

He pulled the person into his arms and used his broad chest to give the person warmth and care.

At the age of sixteen, he was a bit shorter than Song Zhili, but now he has grown much taller than the other.

"Ali, you still have me. I will always stand behind you."

"I know."

Obviously, he was the one being comforted, but Song Zhili patted him on the back a few times in return.

"I know you're fine. You don't have to comfort me today. I'm fine."

After saying that, he withdrew from the other's arms.

Song Zhili took off his coat and put it back on the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty is a noble dragon. You can't freeze to death in my little shop. I still want to live a few more years."

Chu Jinning smiled helplessly and said, "Why, are you still afraid that I will chop off your head?"

Song Zhili said: "Of course I am afraid, how can I not be afraid? So Your Majesty must take good care of your health."

"Okay, in order to let you live a few more years, I will try not to cause you any trouble."

When Chu Jinning is around, Song Zhili's mood always naturally improves.

No matter how sad he is, his heart can always be healed by the other person.

Even if this effect is only temporary, it is enough.

"Actually... today is my master's birthday."

Chu Jinning nodded in sudden realization, "No wonder you were standing in front of the window in a daze today."

He grabbed the other person's hand. The hands were frozen to the point of piercing the bones. It was not only the hands that pierced the owner, but also someone else's heart.

"You torture yourself like this, but he can't feel it. Don't you think about how I would feel if I saw you like this?"

The warmth coming from his fingertips made Song Zhili's eyes red again.

It seems that his master has never been so warm...

"Aning, he is a pitiful man. No one has ever remembered his birthday since he was a child, and no one has ever paid attention to his birthday. You said that he finally met me, but in the end, I killed him with my own hands..."

"do not talk."

Chu Jinning stopped him from saying the next thing in time, "How many times do you want me to tell you that this is not your fault, you were just framed by others, your master will understand."

After saying that, he stuffed something into the other person's hand.

"Here is a good one, suitable for winter."

"This is……"

Song Zhili picked up the thing in his hand and took a look. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this a night-shining pearl? It's so warm!"

Chu Jinning smiled gently and said, "Just think of it as a night-shining pearl."

"No, where did you get this treasure? It's a rare item that is hard to come by!"

"I got it by chance. This should be similar to the warm baby you mentioned, right?"

Song Zhili shook his head and said, "No, no, no, there is a huge difference. Your beads are superior to the warm baby in any way."

Once before, he complained that the weather was too cold and he didn’t have any good heating tools, so he caught Chu Jinning and complained to him.

He also said it would be nice if there was a hot pack that could be charged at any time.

He didn't expect that he was just talking nonsense, but this guy actually took it seriously.

Oh, it’s another day when I am moved by this little emperor.

Chu Jinning saw that he really liked it and felt that it was worth the effort he put into getting this Fire Pearl.

"As long as you like it."

Song Zhili asked, "So you left the palace today just to give me this?"

"Well, I thought you would be shivering with cold, so I hurried over to bring you warmth. I don't want to hear you complain about how cold the winter here is and you can't stand it one day."

"..."

As a southerner, Song Zhili can't stand the cold in the north to be honest.

"Jin Ning, thank you so much, you are so kind to me, I don't know how to repay you."

At this point, he suddenly thought of an idea that he thought was very good.

"How about this! You name a price for the pearl, and I'll buy it from you."

"Song Zhili!"

The atmosphere was obviously very good, but it was instantly broken by the straight man on the other side.

Chu Jinning said with a cold face and a little angrily: "Do you think I would be short of your little money?"

Song Zhili smiled awkwardly, "It seems that there is probably enough of it... Then what do you say I should do? This thing looks very valuable, I can't just take it for free!"

Chu Jinning couldn't say anything too explicit now.

He knew that there was someone living in Song Zhili's heart, and he also knew that if he exposed this relationship, given Song Zhili's personality, they might not even be friends.

He is a relatively rational person, so no matter how much he likes someone, he doesn't want to completely lose the other person because of possession.

After thinking it over, he said, "You should keep this favor for now. If I need you in the future, I will come to you."

There's nothing he can do about it, because the person he loves is a fool who never likes to owe anyone anything.

Even if others give him gifts directly, he always thinks about giving gifts in return to feel at ease.

Since the other party has said so, if Song Zhili continues with the previous topic, he would really be ungrateful.

"Okay, then you must come to me if you have any problems in the future. Even if I, Song Zhili, cannot go through fire and water for you, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
