Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

In the evening, Zhu Jiu appeared at the door of the calligraphy class as expected.

Because of the photo, he became even less talkative.

"boarding."

Jingzhi looked at the open passenger door and actually had a moment of doubt in her heart.

He...isn't he pursuing her?

How could it be such a coincidence from morning to night?

But when she saw his increasingly serious face, she felt that it was not similar.

Maybe he really has something to do.

Jingzhi got in the car and said to him with a smile:

"How was your client at noon?"

The car paused slightly, then gradually accelerated and drove forward.

Zhu Jiu: "Solved."

He is so cool, the less he talks, the cooler he is.

"Oh."

"that……"

Zhu Jiu said first: "I threw away your student's gift for you. You should study hard in class and don't let him distract you."

Jingzhi nodded indifferently, she was more concerned about something else.

But asking via text message would be too awkward, and asking directly would be too embarrassing, so her beautiful eyes looked around the car from time to time, trying to find any clues about other women.

Suddenly, she sniffed softly.

Huh~

The little fragrance that remained in the air made her head feel a little dizzy.

Is there really another woman in his car?

Zhu Jiu, who had been secretly observing Jingzhi through the rearview mirror, knew that things were going to get bad as soon as he saw her sniffing.

"There was a letter in the gift, and it smelled like the letter paper."

He quickly explained that he couldn't help but keep his mouth shut at this time.

Jingzhi's face, which had just turned gloomy, returned to its former brightness after hearing his words.

She leaned her left elbow against the car window, breathed a sigh of relief, and said jokingly:

"It's lost, so why did you open it and read it? What's written on it?"

Zhu Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Would she mind him opening her gift?

He carefully considered his words and replied to her:

"He has unrealistic fantasies about you. There are a lot of bad people out there these days. You have to be careful to distinguish them."

Jingzhi: "I know~ But... is liking me an unrealistic fantasy? That's a lot of people's fantasy."

Modern people are very bold.

In fact, she received a gift on the first day of class. In just a few days, she has already received several gifts.

At first, she would hold the thought that the other party's feelings should not be underestimated, so she opened the box to take a look. Later, she found that if those men and women saw her opening the box, they would think that she also had feelings for her.

Gradually, she didn't want to tear it down anymore.

On the other side, when Zhu Jiu heard these words, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

Quite a lot of people?

Many people confessed to her in class?

"Jingzhi, I...I don't have anything to do recently, so practicing calligraphy would be nice. How can I sign up for your class?"

Zhu Jiu secretly praised his quick wit.

He wants to eliminate these potential rivals personally.

And if he goes to class, he can take her to and from get off work together, and they can spend more time together. What if she falls in love with him over time?

Zhu Jiuqiang suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up and looked at her seriously.

But I found that she was a little surprised, with her mouth slightly open.

"You write very well, don't you? The word 'quiet' is written with form and meaning."

Zhu Jiu retracted his gaze and looked straight at the asphalt road ahead, making up a friend out of nothing:

"That... wasn't written by me. It was given to me by a friend."

"...Oh?" Jingzhi was skeptical. "Next time you go out, just go directly to our front desk downstairs to buy lessons."

"understood."

Zhu Jiu secretly gripped the steering wheel and decided to buy it tomorrow.

……

The car slowly stopped in the villa yard.

A translucent figure, blackened by electricity, suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the car.

The two people who hadn't gotten off the bus were shocked and sat down in their seats.

"Uncle Er, is it raining today? Also, is this a ghost sighting in broad daylight?"

Zhu Jiu had no time to pay attention to her because his ancestor was using secret telepathy to attack him.

[Xiaojiu, please retract your magical powers. Even if I were a deity, I wouldn't be able to withstand a full day of thunder. My robes are almost shattered into pieces.]

Zhu Jiu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Zhu He's eyes tightened and he quickly interrupted him.

【Just think about it in your heart, I can hear it. 】

[Zhu Jiu: ...If you don't talk nonsense, you won't be struck by the thunder.]

Zhu He: I just said one thing. Go upstairs and see what he's done to my statue!

Idol?

The Zhu family has been worshipping that statue for more than a hundred years, and nothing can happen to it.

Zhu Jiu immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to Jingzhi and said:

"Put your things back first and come over early for dinner. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he quickly got out of the car and ran towards the front door in two steps.

After Zhu Jiu entered the house, the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jingzhi had just gotten off the car and had not yet walked to the next door when Jintong's words in her sea of ​​consciousness shocked her to the point of being frozen in place.

[Jin Tong: Sister Jingzhi, I can sense the divine presence!]

Jingzhi's eyes instantly filled with tears, and her throat choked with sobs, "Where, where?"

After so many years, I don’t know how he is doing?

The longing that had been buried deep in my heart for many years burst out at this moment.

[Jin Tong: Look behind the left side of the villa.]

That spot was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire.

However, there was no sign of him.

Jingzhi frowned immediately.

【Are you lying to me? 】

Jintong quietly stuck out his tongue in her sea of ​​consciousness. If he had known it earlier, he would not have spoken.

[Talk?! Is he here? ? ]

Jingzhi was so nervous that her palms were cold.

[Jin Tong: ...I didn't come. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being slow to speak. I just wanted to tell you that those thunderbolts were sent down by the God.]

Jingzhi couldn't hold it in any longer and kept silent.

"roll!!!"

Why go back to Villa No. 2? She wants to go and take a look at that charred area now.

Jingzhi threw down her homework and rushed all the way to the rooftop from the first floor. Even when Zhu Jiu called her from the third floor, she didn't respond.

The whole person is like a madman.

When Zhu He, who was complaining to Zhu Jiu, saw this, he instantly became anxious.

Is this spirit cat going to complain to the God?

This is not possible. He has only been an immortal for more than a hundred years. The little immortal power he has is like the difference between a puddle and the ocean compared to that of the gods.

【Zhu He: Hurry up and follow her! 】

There was no need for Zhu Jiu to be told anything. As soon as he saw Jingzhi's pale face, he immediately ran up.

……

Jingzhi came to the empty roof, raised her head and carefully looked for every golden sunset glow.

It was as if I was trying to find that familiar face behind the clouds floating in the sky.

As she searched eagerly, she unknowingly came to the charred ground behind her on the left side.

Lin Feng probably just wanted to punish Zhu He a little. This place looked scary, but it was actually just a floor covered in black ash.

But Zhu Jiu, who caught up later, didn't know this.

He took a quick step forward and pulled Jingzhi out from the center of the charred area.

"It's dangerous there, don't go there!"

Confused, Jingzhi shifted her gaze from the air back to Zhu Jiu's worried face.

Tears streamed down my cheeks.

As if she had found a life-saving straw, she suddenly rushed into Zhu Jiu's arms and hugged him tightly.

Only the faint shaking of her shoulders told Zhu Jiu that she was crying silently.

He opened his arms, turned his face away, and let her hold him, feeling shy and worried.

"what happened to you?"

She hugged him tightly, then suddenly let him go. She wiped the tears from her face with her shirt sleeves and pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly at Zhu Jiu.

"I'm fine, I just... miss home."
