Xiandao Linglong
Chapter 18: Relying on face to make a living
As night fell, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, Ye Qi, who was devoted to cultivating immortality, sat quietly on the bed, following the breathing techniques taught by his master.
Unaware that the door of the next room had been quietly opened from the inside, the girl walked very slowly, fearing that she would make any noise.
After leaving the room, he quietly closed the door and went straight to the wine and food downstairs, muttering under his breath: "What a stingy guy! He won't even let me have a full meal. I'm starving!"
When the waiter saw Jingshu coming downstairs, he vaguely remembered the greedy look of this girl. He left reluctantly only when she was forcibly dragged away.
Seeing that her clothes were not particularly gorgeous, but the silk and brocade dress was not something that a girl from an ordinary family could afford, he hurried forward and greeted her warmly: "Miss! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jing Shu, already dizzy and hungry, was in no mood to pay attention to him. She waved her hand without even looking at him, signaling him not to disturb her.
Then she took a deep breath, straightened her back calmly, and her graceful figure was fully displayed at this moment. Her dignified posture and temperament came out naturally. Where was there any trace of the immaturity of the little girl who had been playing around all the way?
"Brother! Look, that little beauty is so pretty!"
"There really are fairies in this world! Their looks and temperament are much better than that stinky bitch in my house!"
"Ah! I have no regrets in my life for meeting such a beautiful girl today!"
……
If the whispering sounds around were heard by an ordinary girl, she would probably be so happy that she would be dizzy and not know which way is east, west or west.
But for Jingshu, who has been relying on her looks to get a free meal for years, she has long been accustomed to it, as what she hears goes in one ear and out the other. After all, her goal is very clear: to get a free meal!
"I wonder if I could be so honored to invite you to enjoy these delicious dishes and wines with me?"
Just when Jingshu was about to strike up a conversation and get a free meal, a man suddenly walked up to her, looking gentle and elegant, and politely invited her.
This is really a waste not to eat, but if I follow like this, it would be a bit of a loss of status. Jing Shu secretly swallowed her saliva and pretended to be reserved and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, sir! But my brother said that you can't eat from the same table with a strange man!"
Jingshu pretended to be dignified and showed her youthful appearance, which made the elegant young man very moved. He immediately asked, "Does the girl think I am a bad person?"
Jing Shu pondered for a moment and replied hesitantly, "Not really!"
"As the saying goes, all people in the world are brothers and sisters. Since we have the good fortune to meet here, can we be considered friends?"
Jingshu hummed softly and replied, "Hmm!"
"My name is Qiao Yue! If you don't mind, please allow me to be a good host! Please!"
Jingshu's eyes were wandering at this moment, as if she was confused by his few words.
Then, after pretending to be reserved and pondering for a moment, he replied cautiously and softly, "It's better to obey your command than to be respectful over there!"
While the man was talking to himself in a daze, Jingshu had already sat at the table and called the waiter to order all the fine wines and delicacies in the restaurant.
Then she winked at the man who had not yet reacted, as if she was too shy to look him in the eye. She nodded like an embarrassed little woman, just like a simple girl who was ignorant of the world. Seeing her, Qiao Yue felt itchy in his heart!
"Eat slowly, girl! These are all yours!"
Qiao Yue, who was standing aside, watched the girl in front of him. She didn't act at all pretentiously like a lady from a wealthy family while eating, nor did she wipe her mouth after each bite like an ordinary girl. She was quite humorous in her own way.
"Thank you, Brother Qiao Yue! You are such a nice guy!"
After saying that, Jingshu raised the wine cup and toasted to the big enemy in front of her, half covering her face with her long sleeves, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He pretended to be choked by the liquor and coughed twice, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth. Looking at the messy table covered with cups and plates, he breathed a sigh of relief after feeling full.
Then he stood up and walked straight to the counter and said to the waiter, "The sugar water in that pot just now was really delicious. Send another pot to my room. Thank you!"
Seeing the girl was about to go upstairs and leave, the waiter hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss! The wine and food on the table haven't been paid yet, and you ordered a pot of 30-year-old Bamboo Leaf Green. We are a small business and we don't accept credit!"
"Money? What is money?"
Jingshu stared at the waiter with her big watery eyes full of confusion. The waiter looked at the girl as if she was a fool, so he had to turn his gaze to Qiao Yue who was sitting at the table.
Fortunately, Qiao Yue's family was quite wealthy. He stood up, walked over to the waiter, and handed him a purse. Then he looked at Jingshu and said, "Miss Jingshu, you have to pay for food when you eat out. Otherwise, you'll have to exchange it for something else!"
After saying this, he looked at Jingshu's young and pretty face, then stopped teasing her. Instead, he handed her the remaining money in the purse and walked out the door!
"Waiter! Send two jugs of wine to the room!"
Seeing that the girl suddenly became cold and lonely, the experienced waiter secretly sighed for the sucker, then brought two pots of wine and sent her upstairs.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ye Qijing sitting at the table in his room drinking tea that was still smoking.
"Look at the way you're eating and drinking for free, it doesn't look like this is your first time!"
"Isn't a stinky man's money meant to be spent on girls? Even if I don't spend it, someone else will. Do you think everyone is as stingy as you?"
The waiter looked at the two people in a tense atmosphere, brought the wine to the table, closed the door and left quietly.
"Would you like to try this thirty-year-old Bamboo Leaf Green?"
"Don't drink!"
Jing Shu stopped pouring the wine, stared at Ye Qi in disbelief and said, "You've been eating and drinking for free for so many years. I don't even bother to treat anyone to a drink. You barely qualify to drink from me!"
"So, it's my honor?"
Jingshu smiled faintly without comment!
"You can drink! But you have to answer me a question. Why do you like drinking so much?"
Jing Shu, who was originally enjoying the wine with great relish, suddenly frowned. She put down her glass and pondered for a moment before answering, "Because drinking makes me happy. Although I don't know why drinking makes me happy, I will definitely be unhappy if I don't drink!"
"The purpose of life is to be happy, so let's have a drink to happiness!"
Jingshu looked at Ye Qi's silly look, picked up the wine jug without saying a word, and walked outside with somewhat uncontrolled steps.
Ye Qi was left alone in the room drinking the pot of wine she left behind. It tasted bitter at first, but became sweet as he continued to drink. Gradually, he became more and more drunk and collapsed on the table drunk!
I don’t know how long I fell asleep, but suddenly a noise outside woke Ye Qi, who was grinning foolishly in his sleep!
"Ah! Help!"
