Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

The mornings in July always get brighter very early.

People who sell breakfast usually come out at dawn.

In case there are impatient customers who can't wait for them to make the food, they usually push out the cart first and make some breakfast on the table.

It can not only attract customers but also save a lot of time.

The same goes for the boss who sells sesame cakes.

He has always been accustomed to setting up a stall here by the river, and people crossing the bridge always buy a cake from him.

There are trees by the river, so even if he sells until noon, he will still have a place to cool off.

By now, he had already baked quite a few pancakes.

Every time he took a pancake out of the round oven, he would take the opportunity to raise his eyelids and take a look at the person standing at the gate of the courtyard.

After about twenty minutes, it was already bright outside and more and more people were coming and going on the road.

The boss had just wrapped a pancake and handed it to a passerby when he couldn't help clearing his throat and talking to the man who seemed to be nailed to the door.

"Uncle Jiu, I see you've been here for a long time. Are you looking for someone inside for something? Do you want to buy some bread?"

Lin Jiu seemed to come back to his senses at this moment.

He blinked lightly, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them over, "Two."

"okay!"

"...I don't want the cold ones. Take two more from the stove."

After all, she didn't know when to get up.

"Row!"

……

The cloth bag that Lin Jiu carried on his shoulder was slightly wet with dew. He raised his left hand slightly to keep the cake away from the bag, and slowly stretched out his right hand to hold the door knocker that was slightly warmed by the sun.

He came here for a reason, he came here to gossip.

Lin Jiu said this to himself.

He took a deep breath and then slowly knocked on the door.

"Who?"

She could hear her voice from inside, sounding a little confused and dragging due to exhaustion.

Lin Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

I inexplicably felt that her soft tone made people's hearts soften.

"It's me, Lin Jiu."

Jingzhi was afraid that Lin Jiu would find out something last night, so as soon as she got home she quickly boiled water to take a shower and change clothes.

After everything was done, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and only fell into a deep sleep at dawn.

She heard Lin Jiu's voice again in her daze, and she was so scared that she opened her sleepy eyes instantly.

To die.

My double eyelids are almost wrinkled into four folds.

Moreover, her pajamas were women's, her hair was not combed, and her chest was not tied.

Jingzhi jumped up from the bed.

……

Lin Jiu waited for a long time before the gate of the courtyard creaked open.

Jingzhi's clothes were put on, but her hair was tied a little loosely.

The slightly short bangs on her forehead fell down, slightly covering her deliberately thick eyebrows.

In Lin Jiu's eyes, she looked even softer.

"Sorry, I slept late last night. I wasn't fully awake just now, so I was slow to change clothes."

Lin Jiu turned his eyes away, smiled gently, and handed over one of the cakes in his hand. "No problem, I wonder if I could ask Brother Lin for a glass of water. Just eating the cake is a bit dry."

"Thank you, come in! I lit the stove early this morning, so the water should still be warm. I'll get it!"

Jingzhi took a bite of the cake, smiled at him, turned sideways, and let Lin Jiu step into the yard.

She shouldn't have smiled at him. He was not a good man.

Lin Jiu gently squeezed the cake in his hand, and the cake crumbs fell to the ground.

He lowered his head and used his feet to slightly move the soil, then swept the cake crumbs in with the sole of his shoe and buried it.

"Come in, what are you standing there for?"

Jingzhi stood in the living room shouting, holding an empty kettle.

Lin Jiu responded and walked over. Just as he reached the door, he ran into her coming out.

He stepped aside to let her pass.

The breeze blew her hair, and a few longer strands gently hit his face.

In just a moment, she went to the kitchen to get some water.

Lin Jiu touched the side of his face, feeling a little lost.

He followed her into the living room and put the cake on the table.

Lin Jiu was afraid that she had really encountered something dirty last night, so he took out a compass and walked around.

Not in the living room.

There is none in the yard either.

Let’s go to her room and take a look, Lin Jiu thought.

I was doing this for her safety.

He silently found another excuse for himself.

His heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and he pushed open the two half-open doors and walked in.

The room was filled with her delicate fragrance, and the quilt was slightly arched on the bed.

A smile inexplicably appeared in Lin Jiu's eyes.

Looking at the quilt, he could imagine her sleeping posture like a maggot.

There is an antique and elegant dressing table in her room.

There was a table full of cosmetics.

Lin Jiu just glanced at it and then looked away.

His brother Lin is a man who likes to dress up as a woman, so it's not surprising that he has this thing.

Wait a minute!

Lin Jiu was suddenly stunned.

Lin Di likes to dress up as a woman. Does this mean that there is some feminine element in her heart?

Then...will she like men?

Lin Jiu stood there for a few seconds, then suddenly shook his head.

A palm slapped towards his forehead.

What is he thinking, oh.

He stopped looking at the dresser and turned away.

A large wardrobe with four doors appeared before my eyes.

The door on the far right of the wardrobe was slightly open, and a corner of warm yellow fabric was stuck on the edge of the wardrobe door, which was quite an eyesore.

Lin Jiu didn't want to touch other people's things, so he withdrew his gaze and stared at the direction of the compass, concentrating on finding the source of the evil energy.

However, after searching the entire room, there was nothing unusual about the movement of the pointer.

It seems that what Brother Lin said last night might be true.

Lin Jiu put away the compass and just walked to the door, his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him back to the wardrobe.

"Frizzly."

he complained.

He grabbed the handle of the cabinet and pulled it outward a little, trying to stuff the piece of cloth in.

It seemed that the fabric was too soft. As soon as he opened the closet door, before he could put the clothes in, they fell onto the back of his feet.

When he saw clearly what it was, he couldn't help but let go of his hand and took several steps back.

At this moment, Lin Jiu's mind was in a mess.

Why is there a bellyband in Lindi’s closet?

Could it be that she wore it when she was dressed as a woman?

It shouldn't have come to this extent.

That...bellyband, is it from the girl she likes???

Yes, Lin Di is good-looking and has a good personality. It is normal for girls to like him.

Lin Jiu's heartbeat, which had just been a little too fast, suddenly slowed down.

Even slower than usual.

His lips gradually tightened, and he didn't even want to look at the bellyband, so he walked out.

As soon as I reached the door, I ran into Jingzhi.

Jingzhi: "Why are you here? I've been looking for you for ages."

Lin Jiu: "...It's okay, I'll just walk around."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Jingzhi was about to ask what was wrong, but she saw the bellyband on the ground out of the corner of her eye.

No, could it be that she collected it too hastily this morning and it dropped on the ground?

Did he see it?

So the reason why he looks so grim now is because he suspects she is a woman and wants to vomit???

Jingzhi rushed in, grabbed the bellyband, opened the wardrobe and stuffed it in.

Lin Jiu stood there quietly, watching her flustered movements, his eyes growing dimmer.

Is she panicking?

Since the girl’s bellyband is here, then the two of them have already... ?

So she is panicking now because she is afraid that he will tell on her?

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and pinched his left wrist tightly with his right hand behind his back.

"Well, that, I, I, I have a beautiful woman in my house. As a man, you know!" Jingzhi clenched her hands, her eyes flickering constantly, and she didn't even dare to look at him straight in the eye.

Lin Jiu thought that she was afraid of being exposed and felt guilty. When he heard her words, his heart sank.

It seems that dressing up as a woman is just a hobby.

What Lin Di likes is still women.

"Don't worry...I won't tell anyone."

His tone was inexplicably cold.

Jingzhi scratched his head, somewhat confused.

What does he mean?

He must have believed it.

Hehe, he is so easy to fool.

Her steps were a little brisk. She took two steps over and punched his chest like he had done before.

"Brother Lin, you are really my good brother! Let's go and eat some cakes!"

The punch was neither light nor heavy, but Lin Jiu felt as if the restlessness in his heart was beaten away.

Jingzhi unilaterally put her arm around the stiff Lin Jiu's shoulder and pushed him out.

Lin Jiu: Good brothers... In this life, they can only be good brothers.
