Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Knowing that he might be asked about his marriage again when he went in, Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed and just stood at the door waiting for Lin Jiu.

Before Lin Jiu came out, an uninvited guest came over from the street.

He was wearing a white shirt and straight trousers.

Probably because the business was closed, two buttons on his neck were undone, and a well-made suit was draped over his wrist, adding a touch of casualness to his formal attire.

This person is Zhong Yao, whom I haven’t seen for several days.

Seeing the lonely beauty standing gracefully under the lamp not far away, Zhong Yao's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace with his long legs and walked towards her.

"Miss Jingzhi, it's so late, why are you still in town?"

As he spoke, he secretly tugged at the hem of his shirt to smooth out the wrinkles.

She passed by their clinic several times today. He changed into a suit specially for the occasion. I wonder if she likes it?

Jingzhi just took a quick glance at him, and the way she looked at him was no different from how she looked at a passerby.

She has always lacked the coquettishness and clinginess towards other men other than Lin Jiu.

Jingzhi not only pretended to be reserved, but even took two steps back, three meters away from Zhongyao, "Something happened."

There was a lot less bullshit back then.

The night wind blew, and Zhong Yao's neatly combed hair was blown a little messy, with a few strands of hair blown to his forehead.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and the light from the lantern above his head cast a shadow on his long eyelashes, blocking the gloom in his eyes.

"Is that so?" His voice remained gentle, just like him. "Haven't you been gathering herbs lately? Winter is coming, and our clinic is short on herbs."

He actually hoped that she could come to his clinic more often.

Of course, not the kind of medical treatment.

Jingzhi crossed her arms, kept looking back at the kerosene lamp on Uncle Qing's desk, and said absentmindedly:

"I'm not free right now. I'll pick some for you when I'm free."

Jiu has been in there for a while, why hasn’t he come out yet?

"Ajiu, have you found the Kongming lantern?" She called out into the house.

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Jiu's reply came from inside the room, "Wait a minute, I found it, it's a bit big, Uncle Qing put it in the attic."

She turned around to glance at Zhong Yao, who was looking at her eagerly, and said politely, "You should go home early. Things are not peaceful lately."

Zhong Yao's smile gradually warmed up.

She said this... She probably cares about me.

Otherwise, why didn't she tell others?

At this moment, Lin Jiu climbed down the stairs next to the attic holding a bright yellow folding Kongming lantern that was more than one meter high.

Just when he was halfway up, the handsome man and beautiful woman who were talking at the door came into his sight.

The fingers holding the bamboo frame suddenly tightened.

Fortunately, this Kongming lantern is made of waterproof fabric and is very sturdy.

If it was made of paper, he would have torn it to pieces long ago.

"Jingzhi." He called out.

His voice was a little low, and Jingzhi inexplicably felt that he was emotional.

She bowed to Zhong Yao and said, "Goodbye, brother!"

Then he turned around with a smile and ran towards Lin Jiu, "Ah Jiu, I'll help you get it~"

The crisp sound was like honey, and the frost in Lin Jiu's eyes melted a lot in an instant.

Zhong Yao: “…………”

Who is your brother?

"No need, I'll take it." Lin Jiu paid the money, tucked the Kongming lantern under his arm, and walked out of the store holding Jingzhi's hand tightly.

Just got to the door.

Lin Jiu smiled wryly, "What a coincidence."

Zhong Yao smiled, but his face was not smiling. "I saw you walking back and forth several times during the day. It's quite a coincidence."

Zhong Yao: How dare you make me work from morning till night!

Jingzhi closed her eyes silently.

Again.

After wandering around Renjia Town several times today, she knew that this day would always come.

Lin Jiu, who had been manipulated, fired up. "This is the nature of Lin's job. When she's not busy, she's very busy. But she's only busy for a few days a month, so it won't make her too tired."

Lin Jiu: I don’t have to stay in the clinic 996 every day like you!

Zhong Yao was so frustrated that his face turned pale, but he still smiled and said:

"Oh, really? The charity cemetery is filled with negative energy. You must take good care of her and don't let her get sick."

He smiled gently, but there was a hint of provocation and sarcasm in his eyes as he looked at Lin Jiu.

The charity cemetery is so gloomy, it's not suitable for a girl to stay there. In his opinion, it would be more convenient for her to stay in the town.

Lin Jiu secretly gritted his teeth and couldn't help but want to curse.

He took a deep breath, chuckled, and said, "Don't worry. Her room is right next to mine, far from the morgue. And I'm here, so nothing will happen to her."

Lin Jiu: Boy, you can’t even live next door to her, don’t you know your own weight?

The air was thick with gun smoke. Jingzhi looked at the two people on his left and right, scratched his head, and then tugged at Lin Jiu's hand. "Let's go. It's time to go home. We still have things to do."

Lin Jiu looked at Zhong Yao deeply, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up. "Okay, let's go home."

Zhong Yao's left hand, which was behind his back, clenched into a fist in an instant.

Her subconscious words of "go home" made him completely defeated.

This time, he lost again.

However, he would not give up. Didn't he just get her care?

……

Lin Jiu felt a strong sense of crisis at the moment. Even though his ears were turning red, he still held her hand tightly on the street.

Feeling the strength of his grip, Jingzhi turned around and explained, "Ajiu, I just said a few words casually. Are you angry?"

Lin Jiu: “No.”

This time he didn't hesitate any more.

But from his slightly pursed lips, it can be seen that he is not in a very good mood.

The two walked out of the town and into the forest path.

The moonlight was shallow, shining through the dense forest onto the path in the middle. The light silver light seemed to be pointing the way ahead for them.

Jingzhi's feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a crisp crunching sound.

As autumn turns to winter, the chirping of birds and cicadas disappears.

There was only a slight whistling sound in my ears.

Jingzhi listened to the increasingly synchronized footsteps of the two for a long time, and finally lost her patience and turned to him and said:

"Ajiu, I only like you."

Lin Jiu paused and said softly, "I know."

Standing still, he faced Jingzhi and said solemnly:

"Jingzhi, I'll send a message to my senior brother as soon as I get back. Once we've discussed it, I'll set a date right away."

"What the hell..." She suddenly turned around in surprise, "Good!"

She walked forward and hugged Lin Jiu's neck. She was so excited that she wanted to cry, but she just kept murmuring, "Ajiu."

Her calls made his heart melt.

Blushing, he tilted his head and pecked her cheek, which was a little hot from excitement, "It's time to go, don't miss it."

"Okay! It's all up to you!"

……

The two walked out of the forest hand in hand. Just as they saw the brick-red courtyard of the charity cemetery, they heard a loud explosion in front of them.

Looking closely, I saw billowing black smoke coming out of the yard.

Jingzhi frowned: "What's going on? Shi Shaojian couldn't sneak up on me, so he just attacked directly?"

Lin Jiu: "Go back and take a look!"
