Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

When the two came out of the elevator, they happened to meet Doudou coming down from the second floor.

Seeing the big smile on Zhu Jiu's face, she couldn't help but raise her phone and take a picture.

Wow, I’ve never seen my second uncle laugh like this before.

Is this it?

Jingzhi saw her taking pictures secretly, covered her face and rushed upstairs.

Zhu Jiu walked over and nodded slightly to Doudou.

"Please send me a copy of the photos when you have time. Don't think I didn't see them. You've been taking pictures of us for several days."

"Hey, no problem!"

Doudou made an OK gesture to him, then leaned closer and asked:

"Sister Jingzhi...did she agree to date you?"

Zhu Jiu listened to the sound of people running upstairs and coughed lightly, "Not yet."

Doudou's smile froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth gradually retracted.

"Then what are you so happy about?"

Zhu Jiu clenched the half-wet hairband in her hand, and the corners of her mouth lifted up uncontrollably. "She said to give her some time, she'll think about it."

Well, isn't this just an excuse to shirk responsibility?

Fortunately, she was excited.

Doudou put his phone in his pocket, stretched his arms, and said to Zhu Jiu:

"Can you lend me the gym on the second floor? I can't go out. I'm almost growing hair!"

"Okay, you can use it."

He's going upstairs to take a shower.

Now that he lives next door to her, he has to stay absolutely clean and decent, and preferably look young, but definitely not sloppy.

……

Jingzhi upstairs was also taking a bath at this time.

It’s great to have money, even the bathtub has a smart constant temperature.

Aunt Huang must have come in to clean up, and all traces of Doudou's use were gone.

On the countertop next to the white bathtub, there is a whole row of essential oils in wooden storage boxes.

Jingzhi's wet fingers turned a light pink from soaking. She lay sideways on the table and picked up bottles of exquisitely packaged essential oils and sniffed them.

They all have fresh and elegant flavors.

These should also be prepared by Aunt Huang.

In his previous life, Lin Jiu liked to give her perfume.

In this life, he actually prepared essential oils for her.

I wanted to pick a bottle and drop some in water to try.

She suddenly remembered the scene in the elevator when he quoted the price.

These...are not all worth tens of thousands of dollars?

Forget it, be careful. She took a photo and searched the price first to avoid being unable to pay for it later.

One minute later.

The essential oil was carefully put back in its place and pushed in again.

"I'll go, luckily I haven't opened it yet."

I can't afford essential oils.

Just like him.

Zhu Jiufu even felt that Jingzhi was not worthy of him.

In this life, he really has no flaws except for one thing.

Even his ii character is an advantage in Jingzhi's opinion.

Jingzhi raised her head and rested it on the edge of the bathtub, looking at the low-key yet luxurious chandelier on the ceiling, and sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, little man, I want to back out again."

"You can be fine on your own."

"After all... you have plenty of money to keep you company."

……

Although escape is shameful, it is very useful.

Jingzhi retreated without blushing or panting, and returned to her original state, enjoying everything she ate.

He would even joke with Zhu Jiu with a smile.

In order not to attract his interest, she even put on a white tracksuit, tied her hair into a simple ponytail, and had no makeup on, not even lipstick.

Zhu Jiu frowned, keenly sensing that something was not right.

What happened while she was taking a shower?

……

Guessing that he was tired after a whole morning and probably had no time to exercise, Jingzhi took advantage of his inattention and hid directly in the gym on the second floor.

This place is no less impressive than a professional gym.

Various dumbbells, treadmills, bicycles, yoga balls, and other things are neatly arranged.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the entire floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window is the super swimming pool of Villa No. 2.

Looking outwards, stretching beyond the road are stretches of light golden sand beaches and the sea that connects to the horizon.

The view is amazing.

Jingzhi suddenly had a new understanding of Zhu Jiu's ability to make money.

Simply because he had no more space for his magical instruments and the jars containing ghosts, he bought a villa.

Who else?!

……

Dynamic music came from the glass compartment on the right. She turned her head and saw Doudou riding a bicycle inside.

Maybe she had been there for a long time, and her forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat, which even Jingzhi, who was outside, could see clearly.

Doudou was wearing a gray sports vest and yoga pants. She looked small, but unexpectedly she had a good figure and looked full of energy.

"Bean? Together?"

Jingzhi stuck her head in, and Doudou turned the gravity button on the bicycle, slowly slowing down.

She picked up the water cup next to the car and took a sip of water. Just as she was about to talk to her, Doudou's eyes flashed when she saw someone coming behind her.

"No, I've been here for over an hour. I've had enough exercise for today. Bye! I'm going back to rest."

She walked away leisurely, and the dynamic music continued.

Now that you're here, why don't you move for a while?

Bored, Jingzhi came to the treadmill and operated a few buttons.

Set the speed to 3 and warm up first.

She also set a timer to prevent Zhu Jiu from bothering her again after his lunch break.

She had to escape.

"What a coincidence, you come to exercise too."

A voice suddenly appeared beside him.

Jingzhi, who was concentrating on a certain timer, was startled.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be sleeping now?"

Zhu Jiu looked at the polite smile on her face and frowned slightly.

"You said you would think about it carefully," he reminded.

Jingzhi took her eyes off him, adjusted the speed to 4, and started running slowly.

"Yes, I'm thinking about it."

Zhu Jiu pursed her lips, and half-doubtfully took a bottle of mineral water from the shelf next to her and placed it on the water compartment next to her hand.

"That's good."

"I'm not sleepy today. Let's exercise together."

Jingzhi secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

She extremely doubted whether Zhu Jiu had opened her closet to look.

This is the first time she wears this sportswear.

What he is wearing now is a pure black sportswear with the same logo, which is obviously a couple's style.

The two of them are now like the black and white poles in the Bagua, each occupying one side.

What's the point of worrying about this now?

It would be nice to be friends with him, wouldn't it?

Jingzhi tilted her head and smiled at him, "Okay, Doudou won't play with me, you play with me for a while."

"Let's have an endurance test to see who can run the longest."

Zhu Jiu glanced at the speed of her treadmill and adjusted his own machine to the same speed. "Okay."

His light brown eyes darkened slightly, "It's boring to compete with others. If you win, you have to promise me one thing."

Jingzhi immediately became alert.

"Don't ask me to promise you directly. I told you to think about it."

Oh, she is really the worm in his heart.

Zhu Jiu ran and gave her a faint smile, "Then...if I win, you have to tell me the answer in a week."

Jingzhi: "One month!"

Zhu Jiu: "Half a month."

Jingzhi: "Three weeks."

Zhu Jiu paused, then insisted, "Just half a month."

As he spoke, he held the handrails on both sides and used his eyes to kill her.

Jingzhi was defeated miserably.

Her face flushed, she turned her head away and whispered, "Half a month is just half a month."

Doudou, who was squatting at the door of the gym, was like the most professional paparazzi. She was holding the professional camera borrowed from Zhu Ba and taking pictures frantically.

"This is good, this is good!"

She would like to name it: [The Day Jing Zhi Was Gradually Conquered by the Old Fox - The Gym Betting Chapter]

……

In order to increase the difficulty, the evil little cat reached out and adjusted Zhu Jiu's speed to 5 and the slope to 2.

When Zhu Jiu looked over, she looked back with an innocent look on her face.

"I'm the same way. Are you scared?"

He had never been afraid even when he saw a ghost, so how could he be afraid at such a critical moment?

Zhu Jiu chuckled softly, "Don't be afraid."

Little silly cat, she is so naive.

When he has nothing to do, he runs around the outer circle of the entire villa area. His highest record is 32 laps. His endurance is amazing.

He just didn't believe he couldn't outrun a kitten.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Both of them felt slightly hot, but they could still smile at each other.

Thirty minutes passed.

A slight bead of sweat appeared on the foreheads of both of them.

Zhu Jiu suddenly began to take the battle seriously, while Jingzhi grinned at him with his teeth bared.

Hey, even when she was a human, she was very good at long-distance running and she was not afraid at all.

Doudou, who was recording a video outside, couldn't help but click his tongue.

It seems that the value of her sister Jingzhi's resume is still steadily increasing.

An hour passed.

The two of them were sweating profusely.

Jingzhi, who was used to playing rogue, finally began to take this competition seriously.

But she didn't want to use spiritual power. In terms of physical strength, the civet cat's body is stronger than that of humans. If she used spiritual power, it would be cheating.

Looking at Zhu Jiu on the left whose breathing became heavier, Jingzhi felt a little worried. She panted and said:

"Brother Jiu, why don't we stop competing? It's been an hour, that's enough."

Zhu Jiu also argued with her at this time, as if to prove that he was very capable, and he refused her sternly.

"Once I, Zhu Jiu, have spoken, I cannot take it back."

Jingzhi: "..."

When it comes to face, he is also the best in his life.

She just ran, it was just sore thighs and pain in the soles of her feet, she could still bear it.

Doudou: These two are a perfect match, they are so stubborn together, like a stubborn family.

An hour and a half later, seeing his pale face, Jingzhi finally gave in and pressed the button to stop his treadmill.

He had to pretend to be exhausted, slumped on the bench by the wall and pounded his legs, "Huh... Second brother, you are awesome, I... Ho... I can't take it anymore... My legs are going to break."

Zhu Jiu dragged his sore legs to her and squatted down. As soon as his hand touched her calf, Jingzhi almost kicked him out reflexively.

"You, what are you doing?"

Zhu Jiu wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck, then picked up her stiff feet and placed them on his knees.

"You have to massage after running, otherwise you will be sore the next day."

"No, that's not necessary." Jingzhi grabbed her thigh and pulled it back hard, but Zhu Jiu held on tightly.

He went on to say: "If you don't pinch them, your legs will become muscular."

Jingzhi: "...Okay then."

Doudou: Wow, this is effective communication!

……

It’s different because you’ve studied medicine. Zhu Jiu pressed with great force, and his calf muscles were so sore.

Jingzhi was grinning from ear to ear, and every time Zhu Jiu looked up, she would put on that heartless smile again (￣w￣).

This change of expression really made Doudou outside the door laugh.

Her sister is such a fun person!

……

Feeling that it was too embarrassing for Zhu Jiuguang to massage her, after pressing for a while, Jingzhi pulled up Zhu Jiu, who was half-squatting on the ground, and made him sit at the other end of the stool.

Then she forcibly pulled his feet over and placed them on her legs.

Zhu Jiu's pale face suddenly turned red.

“You, what are you doing???”

Jingzhi raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't plagiarize my words."

"You've been massaging me for so long, it would be unreasonable not to give you a massage. Don't worry, I have very good massage skills."

The Liang family is most famous for orthopedics and massage, and she has learned the essence of it.

Seeing that Zhu Jiu was still pulling his legs back, Jingzhi grabbed his legs and pressed hard on his numb tendons.

"Don't copy my moves."

Zhu Jiu froze immediately, his legs felt numb, as if he had been electrocuted, and very sore.

"I, I'll just do it myself when I get home."

He was so nervous that he even scratched a few white lines on the surface of the soft stool under him.

Jingzhi thought about his temperament and suddenly said:

"Aren't you going to fight the sorcerer behind Naichai tomorrow? Aren't you afraid that your legs and feet will be sore and you won't be able to defeat him?"

Zhu Jiu silently loosened his grip, his face red as if blood was dripping out.

"You, press it."

He suddenly added quickly, "Just press the calf."

Jingzhi: "I know~"

She is not a fool, pressing her thigh is so ambiguous.

Doudou nodded carefully.

It turns out that the effective way to communicate with my second uncle is to talk to him about serious matters.

That’s right, after all, my second uncle never slacks off when it comes to important matters.

She silently turned on the camera's recording function, then zoomed in and focused on the two people inside.

Jingzhi pressed the button attentively, and Zhu Jiu also watched attentively.

She said she knew Chinese medicine, and it seems she did.

Jingzhi felt that the skin on the top of her head was almost burnt by Zhu Jiu's gaze.

After pressing him almost enough, she pressed his tendon with malicious intent.

At this moment, a snowflake seemed to flash before Zhu Jiu's eyes.

It's so numb.

She's so bad.

But why was he happy?

Was it because of her inappropriate and out-of-bounds behavior?

Zhu Jiu felt like he was about to break down.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhu Jiu quickly limped forward on his numb leg and grabbed her.

When the two turned around, Doudou rolled over neatly with the camera in his arms, hid behind the wall, and turned on the recording function on his phone...

"We agreed that if I win, you will give me an answer in half a month."

Jingzhi paused for a moment, then pulled back her sleeves and waved at him, "I know, I know."

Seeing her go out, Zhu Jiu followed her and said, "Don't hide from me for the next half month."

Jingzhi walked faster and faster, and anyone who didn't hide was a fool.

"I know, I know~"

Zhu Jiu: "Just treat me like friends first, don't be perfunctory."

Jingzhi opened her door and locked Zhu Jiu outside.

"I know, I know~"

He moved his fingertips slightly, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, "You are just perfunctorily trying to please me now."

Jingzhi took off the watch that had reached the critical value, covered her throbbing chest, turned her back to the door, and whispered:

"Just to give you a perfunctory answer."

Zhu Jiu leaned his head against the door, feeling aggrieved but also wanting to laugh. He said softly, "I heard it."

“…You’re going too far.”

Jingzhi suddenly turned her head and leaned it against the door panel, imagining what he looked like as she gently kissed the door panel above her.

"Yes, I am very excessive."

So, don't like me so much.

She turned her head, pressed her face against the door panel, and looked at the statue of Lin Jiu wrapped in the raised gauze curtain. She almost muttered in a whisper:

"Ninth Brother... I'm actually... very scared..."

Zhu Jiu didn't say anything, but just raised his left hand and placed it on the door panel, as if he could feel her warmth in this way.

What is she afraid of?

How did her ex-boyfriend die?

If he could just figure out that protective formation, would that reduce her fear?

Zhu Jiu resolutely turned around and went back to his room.

He needs to go back and study it carefully.

Zhu Jiu, who was leaving, did not hear the whispers that drifted away quietly with the wind.

"Nine Brother, I'm afraid... of losing you again..."
