Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Lin Jiu was not used to being so close to others, and his back was so stiff that he almost had cramps.

"I'm serious. The sunburn cream on your face is really going to be rubbed off this time."

"...Humph, you big idiot."

Jingzhi stretched out her hand to him, "I don't care, where's the gift?"

Lin Jiu smiled and patted her hand, "Who would ask for a gift like this?"

Jingzhi pointed at herself and said, "Nowhere, I am the one."

Lin Jiu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He led her to the couch and sat down, "I'm not done yet. I'll take you there tomorrow. Apply the medicine first."

Jingzhi pulled back her hand and said with a vigilant look:

"I don't want to be sworn brothers. Don't even think about getting me to be sworn brothers with you. I don't care about July 18th."

Lin Jiu looked at the empty yard outside the window, pursed his lips shyly, then suppressed his surging emotions and gently kissed her soft lips.

"If we don't become sworn brothers, I don't know how long we can go on together... But now that I've decided to embark on this journey hand in hand with you, I have no intention of turning back."

……

He speaks very nicely.

He was also very bent.

Jingzhi held his shoulders and let him lift her chin to apply medicine, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Now that he's telling the truth, he won't spit in her face, right?

Alas...it was all her fault that she scared him too much in her previous life.

Lin Jiu: "Turn around."

Jingzhi was like a puppet, and she moved whenever he said something.

The look of being worried made Lin Jiu suspicious.

After applying the medicine to her, he held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly change her mind and run away.

Lin Jiu carefully observed her expression and asked:

"Are you... worried about our future..."

Jingzhi glanced at the uneasy Lin Jiu, and the apology in her eyes deepened.

Well, now not only has he become gay, but he has also lost his sense of security. What is going on?

"hug."

She extended her hand towards Lin Jiu.

Now she could only get closer to him and slowly dispel his uneasy feeling.

Lin Jiu carefully closed the window and the door.

He walked over and gently held her in his arms, and said kindly: "Don't rub it, otherwise the medicine will be wasted."

Jingzhi sat beside him in his warm embrace, nodded with dull eyes.

Lin Jiu tightened his embrace and held her shoulders tightly. "Brother Lin, no matter what's going on in your head, since you've taken this step, I won't allow you to back down."

My hands were sweating from being held by him.

Jingzhi sensed his strong uneasiness and suddenly looked up at his resolute chin and asked:

"Nine Brother, if I were a woman, would you... like me?"

As soon as he said the word "woman", he trembled.

Jing almost didn't have the heart to finish asking the next question.

He really couldn't accept it, right?

Lin Jiu pecked her hair lightly. "I don't know. Hypothetical things can't be true. I... I only want you."

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?!!!

Is it true that Lin Jiu can’t be straightened anymore?

……

After coming back from him, Jingzhi was so exhausted that her scalp was about to break.

She took out her Plan B and kept looking through it.

I wanted to slap myself hard.

No!

How can a real woman admit defeat?

Jingyi burned Plan B and wrote quickly to come up with a new plan.

Title: "Nine Operations to Straighten Lin"

Given that he hates women, she must not act all at once, otherwise it will easily cause the opposite effect.

Jingzhi planned to boil the frog in warm water.

This is the first step, so...

……

July 18th has finally arrived.

Having been thought about by Lin Jiu so many times before, Jingzhi began to hate this day a little.

She kicked the quilt away and jumped up from the bed.

After washing up, I sat in front of the dressing table.

The moment she picked up the eyebrow pencil and pressed it on her eyebrows, she thought about it and put it down.

I dipped my fingers in some cold water from the kettle and wiped off the eyebrow powder on my eyebrows.

Looking at the soft and delicate face in the mirror, Jingzhi bit her lip and made up her mind.

Today, just meet him with your true face and stop pretending.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she came back and put on a pair of white jade earrings.

The earrings are not big, they are diamond-shaped, the color is light and warm, and the overall feeling is neutral.

Xiao Hai also wears earrings, so Lin Jiu should have nothing to say.

Jingzhi touched her earrings, gritted her teeth and walked towards the Taoist temple.

As soon as I entered the Taoist temple, I met Xiao Hai and A Bao, who were dressed neatly and walked out in unison with high spirits.

She smiled and said hello:

"Hey, where are you going so early in the morning?"

A Bao nodded at her:

"Brother Lin, why are you here to see my master so early? Let's go clean up the store. We'll start work tomorrow. Brother Lin, come and help warm up the place tomorrow."

"Of course she will go." Xiao Hai nudged him and said sternly, "But you have to change your tone. I've already given you a gift for changing your tone. You have to call me Master."

When Xiao Hai saw Qing Jingzhi's outfit today, he was slightly stunned.

It's not unreasonable that the master would fall in love with her.

Jingzhi, wearing a moon-white robe in the sunshine, looks very elegant.

Her waist-length silver hair was half-tied today. The sunburn on her face had almost healed, but it hadn't gotten any darker. The slight blush added a bit of androgynous charm to her originally cool temperament.

Xiao Hai scratched his head and asked:

"Master, you seem a little different today."

Jingzhi crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh? Tell me, what's the difference?"

Looking at the raised, slender eyebrows, Xiao Hai raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course it's this. You trimmed your eyebrows for my master, a middle-aged uncle?"

"...If you can find it, then he can too. I'm going in."

Jingzhi raised her foot and stepped into the door.

Xiao Hai behind her sighed softly, "Alas, Master is even more beautiful than a girl. I am beginning to envy Master."

A Bao patted his back and said, "Earn more money, and I will find you a wife when the time comes."

Xiao Hai pointed at the slender figure in the yard and said, "Then I want to be like her."

Abao suddenly rolled his eyes and walked out.

Xiao Hai hurriedly followed, "Hey, hey, hey, you said you would help me find it."

Po: "Brother Lin, both in appearance and personality, is unique, one in a million... I think you should stay single."

"I can't find it anyway," he added.

……

the other side.

Looking at Lin Jiu who was doing morning exercises seriously with his back to her, Jingzhi tiptoed over and then jumped onto his back like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Nine Brother, are you exercising so early?"

Lin Jiu steadied himself with his legs apart, and looked at her helplessly, "You said you were twenty-eight, but I think you're only eight."

"Chirp~"

Jingzhi bit his cheek, which was flushed red from morning exercise, and said with a smile:

"I still have a childlike innocence. Why do I have to be so serious every day? Isn't it better to be happy?"

"...Come down, or someone will see you."

Jingzhi put away her smile and looked cautiously at his face, which had suddenly turned pale and red. "I came to play with you, and you're not happy?"

"No... I said it yesterday. I was afraid that people would say..."

His brother Lin was kind-hearted by nature. If anyone said anything bad about him, Lin Jiu thought he would be so angry that he would die.

Taoist temples also rely on the incense money from the people to survive, so the main entrance is usually wide open.

Jingzhi looked at the pedestrians walking back and forth outside the door and curled her lips silently.

"Then let's go inside. Do you have any food at home? I haven't eaten yet."

Lin Jiu: "Since you're here, practice with me for a while before eating."

Jingzhi stared at him. (○_o)

"...On our second day together, you were already thinking about beating me up?!"

She held her heart, her face full of pain, "My heart suddenly hurts so much, it won't get better if I don't kiss it."

Lin Jiu completely ignored her antics and said seriously, "No, I exercise so that I can eat better."

Damn it, I didn’t get Jiu’s kiss.

She couldn't help but say, "I don't exercise, but I still eat delicious food."

He said this, but started practicing boxing with him.

When exchanging ideas, it is important to know when to stop.

Lin Jiu was a bit too relaxed this morning and didn't dare to block or counterattack with force like he did last time.

Either use the force to relieve it, or avoid it directly.

Jingzhi was having fun and chased him to beat him, all the way from the front yard across the corridor to the backyard.

In the end, it’s still the same posture.

He punched her, landing lightly on her ear.

For fear of scaring her, he didn't even break any bricks.

Jingzhi's back was against the wall, and he finally pushed her against the wall. She giggled with joy.

The strands of hair on his forehead were wet with sweat and stuck to his face.

His sword-like eyebrows are raised freely, and even if they are not deliberately made thick, they still have a unique eye-catching heroic air.

The beautiful eyes that were slightly upturned were now curved, and the sunlight seemed to be crushed and poured into her eyes, making them sparkling and making people unable to look away.

Lin Jiu leaned against the wall and was stunned.

"Still looking." Jingzhi bumped her head against his and gently pushed him, "Do I look good?"

"...Don't tease me so early in the morning."

"No, who hooked you up?"

“…You smiled at me.”

"I just smiled at Abao and Xiaohai, and I also smiled at the sesame cake vendor at the door. Am I the one who flirted with them?"

Before he could finish his words, the person who was doing the wall-banging suddenly bent his arms.

He swallowed all the chatter.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the two figures, one tall and one short, standing close to each other against the wall, giving them a layer of golden color.

Jingzhi didn't know whether it was the summer sun that made her sweat, or his kiss and embrace were too hot.

She began to push away his strong arms that were holding her tightly, struggling hard.

"It's so hot, let me go."
