Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

"Here, here are the clothes, and this is salt and pepper chicken, for you to eat."

As Jingzhi spoke, she handed the clothes in her left hand to Zhegu, and gently placed the fragrant pepper chicken on the table with her right hand.

Zhe Gu quickly reached out to take the clothes. She never cared much about dressing up, so she didn't pay much attention to the clothes in her hands.

However, her eyes were instantly drawn to the tempting plate of chicken on the table.

"How do you know I like to eat this?" Zhe Gu couldn't help but ask, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Jingzhi casually pulled out a stool and sat down, stretching out his fingers to scratch the edge of the plate, and answered absentmindedly:

"My favorite food is braised pork. I guess the olfactory illusion created by the female ghost should be everyone's favorite food... But don't eat chicken butt. I heard it's not good for your health."

Hearing this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in Zhe Gu's heart. This kind of touching emotion was so unfamiliar to her.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. She could only make two "oh" sounds, then turned around and quickly walked into the bathroom to change her clothes.

As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly stuck her head out and shouted outside:

"Don't eat secretly, you must wait for me to come out before eating together!"

Jingzhi, who was in a daze, was startled by the sudden voice, but quickly came to her senses, turned to Zhe Gu with a bright smile, and said gently:

"Don't worry, I'll leave them all for you to eat."

Zhe Gu suddenly retracted her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and then she carefully closed the door.

She kept muttering in her heart: "Oh my, this cat is so sweet! If Lin Zhengying doesn't want it... hehe, then she must take her back to the temple! Otherwise, she will stay alone, how boring that would be."

When she thought of this, Zhe Gu couldn't help but laugh secretly twice, and then she quickly put on the clothes in her hands.

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, Zhe Gu heard a gentle knock on the door.

She couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion: "...Who is it?"

The person outside the door seemed startled by her. He was stunned for several seconds, then looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside, and then he quickly responded as if waking from a dream:

"It's me, Lin Jiu."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure flashed past Zhe Gu as fast as lightning, and then the bathroom door behind her slammed shut.

Zhe Gu was startled, and after a while she came to her senses and muttered to herself:

"…………What the hell is this guy up to? Why do you really not want to see him?"

She slowly walked to the front of the table and sat down, her eyes just falling on the plate of fragrant salt and pepper chicken.

In an instant, a bad idea came to Zhe Gu's mind.

She reached out and pulled off a plump chicken leg, then lifted her foot and stepped on the stool in a cool manner. She began to shake her legs, chewing the delicious chicken with great enthusiasm while mumbling incoherently:

"Come in!"

"Click."

The door opened.

Lin Jiu only glanced at her once, then quickly looked away and looked around.

Aunt Zhe made a sound while eating, rolled her eyes at Lin Jiu and said:

"You only come to look for someone now, what were you doing before?"

Lin Jiu took a few steps closer, grabbed her trembling foot from the stool, and lectured her, "You're sitting in an inappropriate manner!" before slowly explaining:

"Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai brought the zombie tooth back. The Marshal had already removed the poison. I told them to use a trick to stay in the Marshal's Mansion, and that's how they were released."

Sugarcane Girl: "Oh."

Lin Jiu felt a little anxious and took another step forward to ask:

"Where's she? Why are you alone?"

Zhe Gu swallowed the meat in her mouth and said lightly:

"You made her cry, and you didn't let her run away. She gave me the letter and left."

Lin Jiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Did he make her cry again?

His brows gradually furrowed, and he quickly asked:

"Where did you go?"

His heart was filled with panic. He even wondered what he would do if she never came back...

She hadn't heard his answer yet.

Zhe Gu glanced at Lin Jiu's frightened white lips, then glanced in the direction of the bathroom without leaving any trace, and said in a cruel tone:

"How should I know? You didn't pay me to watch her."

She sighed, tore off another piece of chicken and ate it slowly. "Wait until I finish eating, then I'll go with you to catch the evil baby. After we catch the evil baby, you go back to your charity cemetery, and I'll go back to my Queen Mother Temple."

She even thought to herself that this was just as well.

After she captured the evil baby, she took the cat in the bathroom away with it, making Lin Zhengying regret it, haha!

Lin Jiu took a step back and sat down dejectedly on the chair. The expression on his face was uglier than crying, and his fists on the table were clenched tightly.

He kept murmuring in a low voice:

"Where did it go?"

He hadn't expressed his feelings to her yet, so how could he just leave like that?

His absent-minded look made Zhe Gu feel pity for him. She ate the chicken absent-mindedly, but her eyes couldn't help but look towards the bathroom frequently.

Her unusual behavior made Lin Jiu feel suspicious.

The next moment, he grabbed her shoulders tightly like a madman, with such force that he seemed to want to dig his fingers into Zhe Gu's body.

His hands trembled slightly with excitement. After a long pause, he asked with difficulty:

"Is she... is she in there?"

Zhe Gu was slightly stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted. She raised her hands high, deliberately cleared her throat, and then deliberately raised her voice a little, and said loudly towards the bathroom:

"I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything."

After hearing Zhe Gu's ambiguous words, Lin Jiu's guess became more certain.

He was almost 100% certain that Jingzhi was hiding in that small bathroom at the moment.

Thinking of this, he quickly let go of his hand and strode towards the bathroom door.

When he arrived at the door, he raised his hand to knock, but just as his fingertips were about to touch the door, the extremely cold face she had before she left suddenly appeared in his mind.

The fingers that had just been raised were slowly clenched into a fist, hovering in the air for a moment, and then slowly lowered.

"Jingzhi, can you please come out? I can explain it to you."

It was quiet inside.

Zhe Gu gently turned the shoulder that was hurt by Lin Jiu's grip, and kept glancing to the right and back, eating chicken and melon at the same time.

Just when she thought Jingzhi might not come out today, she spoke.

"What's the explanation? Say you never liked her?"

hiss~

It's a matter of death.

Zhe Gu thought that her senior brother was finished this time.

To say yes is to seek death.

He said no, and neither of the two women present believed it.

It seems that she is about to become the first woman to own a cat demon!

Lin Jiu was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

He didn't want to lie to her, but his intuition told him that if he said yes, there would be no possibility between them.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly bitter smile, and he said in a deep voice:

"After we collect the evil babies tonight, let's go back to the charity cemetery. I have something I want to discuss with you."

After saying this, he glanced at Zhe Gu who was peeping at him with a little embarrassment, and his ears turned slightly red.

However, the next moment, Jingzhi's words hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making his face turn pale in an instant.

"I've collected the evil baby... I won't be going back. You, Wencai, and Qiusheng, the three of you can go back."

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from her from inside the room. "Haven't you been hoping for me to leave? Now I think your wish has come true."

Lin Jiuru was hit hard and his body shook involuntarily. He held the door with one hand. The broken wound in his heart was no longer the whistling cold wind, but slowly condensed into a layer of frost, so cold that his fingers trembled slightly.

At this moment, the door clicked and slowly opened.

As soon as he saw her red eyes, Lin Jiu, gritting his teeth, quickly stepped forward and pushed Jingzhi in again. Then he turned around and closed the door tightly with his backhand, completely blocking Zhe Gu's sight.

Sugar Girl: ...With a snap, the cat that was about to be caught was gone!

Jingzhi's body was stiff, letting Lin Jiu hold her tightly. After a long while, she asked in a hoarse voice:

"what do you mean?"

Lin Jiu increased the strength of his grip on her shoulders, his heart filled with uncontrollable shyness and nervousness. "I want to tell you now, without waiting until we get back."

Jingzhi struggled to break free from his hand, pushed him away slightly, stared into his somewhat panicked eyes and said:

"Lin Jiu, I don't want impure love. Come and tell me when you've made up your mind."

After saying that, she pushed him away, put her hand on the door handle, pressed it down and was about to go out.

At this moment, Lin Jiu held her hand to stop her from opening the door, then quickly leaned over and captured her lips.

A Taoist priest who has been single for more than 40 years is also an extremely shy person, so how could he know how to kiss?

He just held Jingzhi's head firmly on the back so that their lips were pressed tightly together.

……

"Snapped!!"

Aunt Zhe was so scared that the chicken bones in her hand fell to the ground.

Who is hitting whom with this sound?

But within a few seconds, two people slowly walked out from behind the door and gave her the answer.

Jingzhi, with a cold face and swollen lips, came over, hugged her arm and said:

"let's go."

Zhe Gu's eyes first fell on her lips, then on Lin Jiu's bleeding lips behind her, and finally on the red five-finger print on Lin Jiu's right cheek.

At this moment, she couldn't help but want to applaud.

Is the little kitten taking over as the master?

Zhe Gu suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up and said seriously:

"Okay, it's important to do the right thing."

It seems that her future cat is not lost yet...
