Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Everyone slept well that night.

Except for Sugarcane Girl.

The mist dissipated and the sky gradually brightened. Jingzhi's eyelids moved slightly. Just as he was about to raise his hand to stretch, he found that his left hand was hot.

It can be seen that it has been tied up for a long time.

"Zhe Gu, stop making trouble and get up."

She mumbled before her eyes even opened.

As soon as she finished speaking, a white cloth covered her face.

"Why, you didn't have enough fun last night, so you want to send me to hell this morning?"

She was smiling with her lips curled up when someone came close to her through the warm cloth.

"Don't be like that, it's not appropriate for women to touch each other...Ajiu?"

When her fingers touched his long nails, Jingzhi cried out in surprise and pushed his drooping shoulders away with her right hand.

Lin Jiu lifted the cloth and gently wiped her face, then pecked her slightly opened mouth in surprise.

"Happy birthday, Jingzhi."

It was nice that he was the first person to say this to her today.

Jingyi was speechless for a moment, "No, you...she...I, I didn't rinse my mouth."

Lin Jiu gave a doting smile, "I don't mind."

"……cut."

Jingzhi's ears turned red and she turned her head to look at the room layout.

Isn’t this Aunt Zhe’s room?

Isn't she sleeping in her room?

Why did you come here?

Lin Jiu: "She's in your room, don't sleep with her. You're old enough, you should sleep on your own."

The moist and warm feeling rubbed her face again and again, and Jingyi grabbed his right hand holding the towel.

It was early in the morning and she was still a little confused.

"Just sleep by yourself, why do you keep wiping your mouth?"

Lin Jiu looked back innocently, "You drooled while sleeping last night."

"..."

The blood suddenly rushed to her head and her face turned red.

Jingzhi sat up and snatched the cloth from his hand. While wiping, she whispered, "Are you a pervert? You don't sleep in the middle of the night and come here to peek at me sleeping."

Lin Jiu is selectively deaf.

He walked over with the new clothes Jingzhi had prepared, and at this moment, a light yellow object floated to his feet as he walked.

Before he could see clearly what it was, Jingyi pulled back the quilt, rushed forward, picked up the thing and hid it behind her, and her clever mouth suddenly stuttered.

"You, you put it on the bed, I'll put it on myself."

Lin Jiu held up the clothes and took a quick look at them before putting them down. "It's a bit thin. It's getting cold. You should wear more clothes."

As he spoke, he turned and walked to the front of the table, with his back to her, groping for something in his hands, and it was obvious that he didn't want to leave.

Jingzhi looked at his back and couldn't help but pout.

It’s annoying. I haven’t even said I forgive him yet, but he just barged in like that.

Why didn’t Zhe Gu remind her?

The girl next door, who was still being held captive and had a sore back, was already cursing in her heart until she was tired.

Damn Lin Zhengying, she wants to break up with him!!!

After she changed her clothes, Lin Jiu turned around and stood up, draping a maroon cloak with fluffy white edges over her shoulders.

Just as she was about to say no, a hand-warming hot water bottle of the same type was stuffed into her hand, wrapped in a fluffy white cover.

When you put your hand on it, it's not too hot, the temperature is just right.

The desire to refuse was immediately suppressed.

Looking at Lin Jiu who was tying the cloak straps for her, Jingzhi turned away uncomfortably and said softly:

"Thank you."

Lin Jiu: Pretty good.

After he tied it, he put his hands behind her back and helped her to push her hair out of the cloak, which was a little messy after sleeping all night. "You're welcome."

As he spoke, he pulled her to the dressing table and said, "Sit down, I'll help you comb your hair."

Looking in the mirror, Jingzhi could see that he had dressed up carefully today.

Every strand of his hair was neatly combed back, and he was wearing the robe she had given him. He looked full of energy, but she felt as if something was different.

Oh, right!

"Why did you shave off your beard?"

Lin Jiu tightened his grip on the comb, looked at himself in the mirror, who looked a little unfamiliar, smiled faintly, and said naturally:

"Nothing, just shave if you want."

Mysterious.

She curled her lips, "...Oh."

Jingzhi was still not used to being served, so she turned around and wanted to take the comb from his hand, "Let me do it myself."

Lin Jiu raised the comb high and said, "Today, you don't have to do it."

"Can you?" she paused before asking.

"I've learned it, don't worry," he replied.

The smile on Jingzhi's lips gradually disappeared, "Where did you learn that?"

"..."

Lin Jiu's eyes flickered slightly and he became speechless again.

Jingzhi lowered her eyes and looked at the ribbon tied into a bow in front of her cloak and the two fluffy little balls, and sighed secretly.

Never mind, he was thoughtful.

Jingzhi: "Then hurry up."

Lin Jiu: “Yeah.”

Lin Jiu combed her hair gently and found that her hair was smooth and straight without much combing. After just two strokes, her white hair looked like a layer of silver ripples behind her.

Lin Jiu touched the thing in his arms, then thought of the bun he had learned before, and carefully tied half of her hair behind her head.

Then she took out the hairpin that she hadn't given away yesterday and gently inserted it into her bun.

"Sorry, I'm running out of time. Next time, I'll make you another one in a different style."

Jingzhi touched the warm hairpin behind her head, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

The first thing he considered was her safety.

I won't argue with him today.

"it is good."

After hearing her answer, Lin Jiu's heart finally settled down. His gift was finally delivered.

Thinking of this, he took out the bottle of light yellow perfume from his arms, sprayed a little on his fingers, and then -

Pinch her earlobe and rub it gently.

Jingzhi: OK! It's karma. I wanted to punish him, but ended up punishing myself.

Jingzhi pressed his hand, took the small bottle from his palm, turned around and pulled his wrist, "That's not how you use it."

She raised the bottle, sprayed a little on the pulse point on his wrist, and then slowly approached under his stunned eyes.

Unbuttoning the first button on his neck, she gently pressed her index finger on his pulsating artery. "Spray on these two spots, and the fragrance will gradually spread along with the flow of blood and warm body temperature."

"Bah."

The spray made his heart skip a beat.

“…I understand.”

He took the bottle, picked up her wrist and sprayed it on her.

When the spray reached his neck, Jingzhi didn't let him take off his cloak. She just tilted her head slightly, exposing her snow-white neck to him, and said, "Just do it like this."

The devil in Lin Jiu's heart suddenly emerged:

[What are you still spraying? Do you really want to take a bite? ]

The angel in my heart suddenly jumped out:

[Today is her birthday, Lin Jiu, show me your self-control and rationality!]

Lin Jiu took out two.

But after spraying, he couldn't help but hug her and sniff her neck.

"Jingzhi..."

Lin Jiu, who was stuck, could only say this sentence.

Jingzhi, who was completely bewildered by his gentle and considerate behavior today, did not even struggle. She even tilted her head and said:

"Today, you are the only one allowed to call me Qingqing."

Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then quietly tightened his arms around her waist. The ends of his raised eyebrows gradually flattened, but the corners of his mouth secretly raised up.

"Okay...Qingqing."

Just when the two of them exchanged glances that were as fierce as thunder and lightning—

"Peng!!"

The door was kicked open.

"Lin Jingzhi, be more reserved. Have you learned everything I taught you?!"

"And you, Lin Zhengying, get out here! I want to fight you one on one!"

The moment the voice rang out, the two of them had already jumped away, standing awkwardly at a corner of the dressing table.

Lin Jiu's face darkened. "Junior sister, today is her birthday. I hope you will stop."

Zhe Gu rushed in and looked at this shameless man, gritting her teeth in anger.

She gritted her teeth for a long time, then looked at Jingzhi who was smiling warmly at her.

Auntie, you are still smiling here.

"Good morning, Aunt Zhe!" she said softly.

Zhe Gu turned her head away awkwardly and relaxed her shoulders which had been stiff all night.

Forget it, she would take revenge later. She still couldn't bear to make things difficult for her, especially on this day.

Zhe Gu snorted, rushed over and pulled Jingzhi away from Lin Jiu.

"Come on, don't pay attention to that shameless guy. The Miss Tingting you mentioned came early in the morning and brought a lot of gifts. Let's go and take a look at the gifts."

Jingzhi asked as they walked: "Aren't you going to open the temple today?"

While asking, she turned back from time to time to look at Lin Jiu who was smiling at her.

Laugh, laugh, I feel horny so early in the morning!

I really can’t stand it.

"Still looking?! No!"

Zhe Gu covered her eyes in frustration, "I posted a notice yesterday saying today is a day off. I have plans for today, but apart from watching a play together tonight, today is all for me and Tingting. Don't go with that shameless guy."

She turned around and glared at Lin Jiu, then reminded him emphatically:

"Don't let me get carried away by love."

Lin Jiu, who had lost his real name and turned into a "shameless person", gave Zhe Gu a childish smile.

His legs were on his body, and she had no control over where he walked.

Zhe Gu was so angry at his laughter that she lost her mind and raised her middle finger at him fearlessly, "You childish bastard!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who were hiding behind a pillar, laughed while feeling worried about Zhe Gu.

"Wow, Zhe Gu is really brave. This is the first time I've seen someone dare to give Master the middle finger."

Wencai hummed softly, "Who said it wasn't true? Master is really narrow-minded."

Facts have proven that you shouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs.

Lin Jiu suddenly appeared beside the two of them and said with a forced smile:

"Aren't you going to make breakfast yet?"

Omg!

This death smile was too close to him.

Qiu Sheng gulped and took three steps back before plopping down on a stone bench by the corridor. He then pointed toward the East Street entrance and said, "Tingting said her family opened a teahouse branch there, and they'd like to invite everyone to have morning tea together today."

Lin Jiu paused, straightened his wrinkle-free robe, then strode out with his hands behind his back.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you still want me to come over and treat you?"

"I'm coming!"

Qiu Sheng responded, stood up and followed Lin Jiu, looking up and down at Lin Jiu's back, then bumped Wencai's shoulder and asked:

"Hey, do you think Master is a bit of a show-off today?"

Wencai counted on his fingers, "It's okay. I just waxed my hair, shaved it clean, ironed my clothes three times, even my shoes and socks are new. I rubbed my earlobes all morning, trying to marinate myself with perfume, but that's all."

Qiu Sheng hugged his chest and kept clicking his tongue, "Well, she was shy before, but now she's flirting openly~"

"Qiu Sheng!!!"

Lin Jiu's roar from the door startled the two men who walked into the courtyard.

"Come on, come on!"
