Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Zhu Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, holding his cell phone and waiting for a long time. His rapidly beating heart gradually slowed down as time passed.

Does she have a date with someone else?

Did she...think he was boring and started to keep her distance from him?

Yes, from yesterday to today, she has become more respectful to him.

Every time the phone screen goes off, he can't help but press the power button on the side.

A faint green light shone on his dazed face, but after a few seconds, it dimmed again.

The turned-off phone screen revealed his serious face.

Zhu Jiu put down his phone, turned to look at the floor-length mirror next to the wardrobe, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.

His smile is really... not very nice, no wonder people don't want to pay attention to him.

Zhu Jiu turned off the lights, took off his shoes and slowly lay down on the bed.

He placed the cell phone on the outermost side of the table.

He thought that he would never use text messages again in his life, as it was troublesome and time-consuming.

Zhu Jiu turned sideways and lay facing the wall.

His dim eyes involuntarily moved downwards to look at the white door at the foot of his bed.

She moved next door, so she probably won't be here tonight.

That's good, he can have a good sleep.

More than an hour later, Zhu Jiu, who was motionless and breathing evenly, still had eyes as big as copper bells.

He turned around, as if calculating the time, and picked up his cell phone to take a look.

12:00

At this time in the past, she would have been standing at the head of his bed, but she didn't come.

It seemed that, as he thought, she would not come.

Zhu Jiu, who was always calm and composed, suddenly seemed embarrassed and angry. He cursed inwardly, then threw his phone far away and closed his eyes tightly.

Fairy, she is a fairy!

Just forget about not wanting him to go. He will always find a way to cure his heart disease.

"Ding Dong~" The bell rang.

In almost a second, Zhu Jiuteng sat up and stretched out his hand to grab the phone that was about to fall to the ground.

【aLin: OK】

With just one word, Zhu Jiu inexplicably felt as if the huge stone in his heart had been removed. His whole body felt relaxed and his heartbeat became lighter.

Before he could lie back down, his cell phone rang again.

Lin: Let's meet in the afternoon. I have something to do this morning and need to go downtown.

we.

Why didn't he find these two words so pleasing to the eye before?

Zhu Jiu, who swore never to send text messages again, used two fingers to reply slowly.

[AAA cold-faced but caring man: Okay, you like—]

The dim light from the screen illuminated Jingzhi's furrowed brows. "Happy? What does he like?"

As her imagination developed, two thin blushes appeared on Jingzhi's face.

Is he asking, do you like me?

hey-hey……

It's so embarrassing to make such a big deal on the second day...

Jingzhi quickly lifted the quilt and covered her head with it!

ashamed!

……

In the next room not far away, Zhu Jiu was rummaging through drawers looking for a charger.

It was told that he had been keeping the screen on just now, and now it’s completely turned off.

After searching for a long time, Zhu Jiu finally found the charger deep in the drawer.

It turned out that he was so anxious that he even forgot to turn on the light.

As soon as the phone was charged, Zhu Jiu stared at the startup interface of the phone.

Tsk, should I change my phone? Why is it so slow?

As he entered the main menu, his tense expression relaxed. His thumb quickly returned to the text message screen. There was nothing in the draft box?

It’s over! It won’t be sent out, right?!

He quickly swiped to the sent messages to look for it.

The first one is.

[Okay, you like—]

Looking at this seemingly true text message, Zhu Jiu's face suddenly turned red.

It’s over, what the hell is he hitting.

I don't know if she misunderstood.

Zhu Jiu hurriedly edited a new text message, but the more anxious he was, the worse his typing became.

Hit and delete, delete and hit again.

Just then, there was a slight "knock" sound outside his window.

It was like the sound of a necklace hitting glass.

As the breeze blew in through the window, a familiar sweet fragrance came over me.

Tonight, perhaps because she had just taken a shower, the smell was stronger than usual. The nervous Zhu Jiu immediately knew that it was her.

Zhu Jiu didn't care about his cell phone anymore and immediately stuffed it into the quilt.

He immediately retracted his feet, lay back on the bed, and casually pulled a corner of the quilt to cover his body. He tried his best to slow down his breathing and pretended to be asleep.

After all, Zhu Jiu, who was very unfamiliar with dealing with such things, had sent such an ambiguous text message by mistake and didn't know how to face her except pretending to sleep.

At this moment, Zhu Jiu no longer remembered the idea of ​​testing her.

This is simply... he will die if he tries it, so he might as well scare himself to death first.

"Oh my! There are zombies in the house. Why are there so many sticky rice?"

Jingzhi squatted barefoot at the entrance of his window. As soon as she stepped in, she was hit by the glutinous rice that spilled on the bay window.

She jumped lightly, passed the bay window, and landed on the open space, but one foot still stepped on the glutinous rice on the ground.

Jingzhi: Did he have too much money and nowhere to spend it, or was he hungry in the middle of the night and accidentally spilled the rice bag?

Jingzhi, who was so happy that she wanted to come over to tuck in the quilt for him, opened his door and quietly walked out.

Zhu Jiu had just opened his eyes and had no time to catch his breath when the door clicked and opened gently.

Zhu Jiu was speechless as he squinted his eyes and secretly watched Jingzhi sweeping the floor in the dark.

No. Does she have some quirk of taking care of people?

Coming to his room in the middle of the night just to sweep the floor for him?

Jingzhi had strong night vision and in a short while, she had cleaned up all the glutinous rice in Zhu Jiu's room.

She breathed a sigh of relief, brushed off the sticky rice stuck to her feet outside the door, and then sneaked into his room again.

She didn't dare sit on his bed.

The spring bed would creak when she sat down, and she was afraid of accidentally waking him up.

Jingzhi quietly sat on a chair not far from his bed, leaning her elbows on the back of the chair, and just looked at him with a smile.

It’s really good to be rich. Look at him, he has taken good care of himself throughout his life. His complexion is rosy and his blood is vigorous even when he is asleep.

He should be allowed to continue like this and be a wealthy man with good health and safety for the rest of his life.

She would be by his side to protect him.

In this life, she will never force herself to take the lead again.

She didn't want to see his fate of early death again.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of Lin Jiu, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.

It was late at night, she had to get up early tomorrow, and she also had to go to the movies with him tomorrow afternoon. It was time for her to go back.

Jingzhi stood up and, as usual, pulled his quilt down, just enough to cover his midsection.

Just as I was about to leave, my attention was instantly drawn to the black object next to his inner arm.

That's...his cell phone, right?

What did the text message he just sent mean?

Jingzhi bit her lip, and her hands hanging by her side seemed to be ready to move.

How about... taking a sneak peek?

But Jiu has a lot of rules in his life.

What if he wakes up and finds that she has invaded his privacy without permission and gets angry?

Forget it.

No matter what he wanted to say about her liking, she thought, she would not easily destroy his peaceful and beautiful life.

……

The veil by the window moved.

Except for the light knock at the beginning, the beauty came and went silently, leaving behind only a faint fragrance that gradually faded away.

Zhu Jiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white gauze gently blown by the wind. He even felt that Jingzhi, who had just come in to sweep the floor, was just a nonsensical dream.

Moreover, what did her last sigh mean?

Did she think that he was untidy and left a bad impression on her?

Zhu Jiu was speechless about his heart still beating wildly.

He frowned, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, Doctor Wang, yes, it's me."

"Please send the heart rate monitor watch you just mentioned to my villa tomorrow morning."

"...It must be delivered before tomorrow noon at the latest."

"…I'm fine, just having occasional heart palpitations."

"No, no need to prescribe me any medicine. I'll just observe for two days first."

……

Afraid that she would find out that he was pretending to be asleep, Zhu Jiu waited until early morning to complete the unfinished text message and send it to her.

[AAA wishes you a peaceful life: What kind of movies do you like? Villa No. 2 has never been lived in. There's only a projector on the second floor, no discs. I have some DVDs here. Tell me what you like and I'll bring some to you.]

Jingzhi, who had already gotten into Axiang's sports car, had a serious look on his face.

When she saw the text message, her expression became more complicated.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to laugh at my own self-conceit last night, or to sigh at his cold exterior but warm heart.

That’s right, they only met on the second day, how could he fall in love with her so quickly? She is not money.

[a Lin: Anything funny or lighthearted is fine, take your pick.]

[a Lin: You like—]

After sending a prank text message, Jingzhi smiled cunningly and played another prank on his notes.

Zhu Jiu was not as fast at typing as her, and his mood was directly disrupted by her second text message.

What does she want to ask?

Ask him if he likes...what?

The low-key and luxurious watch originally worn on the wrist was replaced by a heart rate monitor.

Originally, Zhu Jiu's heart rate showed 65, the color was green, and his blood pressure was 80/120, which was very normal.

After reading this message, his blood pressure didn't change, but his heart rate soared to 90. It even soared higher and higher because of his increasingly divergent imagination, and the color turned orange.

"Ding dong~"

Zhu Jiu immediately turned on his cell phone.

[a Lin: What snacks or fruits do you like? I'll bring some on my way back.]

Zhu Ba sat next to him and watched his second brother's heart rate drop rapidly, all the way down to 65, then beat twice and dropped to 63 before stopping.

Oh my god, even the stock market crash was not as fast as his second brother's mood swings.

What did he see on his phone?

On Jingzhi's side, it took a long time before he heard a ding-dong sound.

[AAA Your heart is warm, but mine is cold: Lychees are in season this year, so why not buy some?]

litchi?

The taste has not changed, it is sweet.

[Female tenant of Villa A2: Okay, I'll bring it to you when I get back.]

That’s right, Zhu Jiu also changed the remarks.

He felt very embarrassed because of her text message, which caused his heartbeat to fluctuate instantly. Especially since Zhu Ba was mocking him, so he changed it.
