Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

In the evening, Doudou suddenly called everyone together and showed them her cell phone.

Doudou faced Zhu Jiu, her pretty face full of worry.

"Uncle, they sent me a text message using my sister's phone. They said they won't be coming to Hong Kong tomorrow. They want Ah Xiang and me to take our information and gambling funds to Naichai's Macau location to gamble."

She tapped the screen of her phone. "The address is right there."

Jingzhi's brows furrowed instantly.

"Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? Regardless of whether you win or lose, it's his territory and he's the one who calls the shots. If he wants to shoot you from behind, you two won't have anywhere to hide."

Ah Xiang glanced at Zhu Jiu, whose face was gloomy, and stammered:

"Second Uncle, I, I don't have any money to gamble, can you, can you..."

Zhu Jiu took out a card from his inner pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.

"You're grown up now. I should return this thing to its original owner."

"This is the inheritance your late father left you. I hope you can protect it well and don't be like your third uncle."

Zhu Ba scratched his face, pretending not to hear, and leaned over to take a look at the address on his phone.

As soon as he saw the address clearly, he patted Axiang's shoulder.

"Hey, look at this address, is it the place we went last time?"

A Xiang leaned over to take a look.

"It really is."

"Uncle, shall we go?"

Zhu Jiu placed his hand on the table, tapping the table slowly with his index finger.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jiu made proper arrangements.

"Second brother, you have a certain foundation in magic, so go and deal with the witch who bewitched Ah Xiang that day."

"Doudou, you're quite skilled, and you've been designated as one of the special agents. This time, I'll have to trouble you to protect Ah Xiang. You go into the casino with him. Before you go in, please put on a bulletproof vest under your clothes."

"And I, I'm going to deal with that sorcerer."

Jingzhi pointed at her nose and asked, "What about me?"

Zhu Jiu paused for a moment before turning to her and saying:

"You call the police and ask them to stand by outside the casino and tell them that someone is robbing someone and the body is inside."

"Call up?"

"I?"

Jingzhi's face was full of displeasure, "Nine Brother, aren't you wasting your talent?"

"You can call anytime. I want to go with you to deal with that mage."

Zhu Jiu closed his eyes.

He knew it would be like this.

She inexplicably cared deeply about his personal safety and emotions.

Zhu Jiu stood up, walked to the stairs, turned around and said to her:

"Come with me, I have something for you."

Jingzhi: "What is it?"

Zhu Jiu looked at the six curious eyes behind her and couldn't help coughing lightly, "You'll know when you come up."

Doudou began to push her, "Go, go, go!"

Zhu Ba followed suit and said, "Oh~~"

Ah Xiang whispered, "Oh~~~~~"

"Oh shit..." The curse word was on the tip of his tongue, but when he felt Jingzhi's gaze on him, Zhu Jiu swallowed it back.

His face flushed, he glared at them both and said to Zhu Ba:

"I think you are already very clear about the rules of the casino."

When Zhu Ba mentioned this, his tail almost lifted up to the sky. "That's right, Mahjong, dice, and Pai Gow. I'm proficient in everything!"

Zhu Jiu sneered, "Then I'll have to trouble you to explain everything to Ah Xiang, so he doesn't make a fool of himself and lose all his father's wealth."

After saying that, he waved to Jingzhi and said, "Let's go."

Jingzhi followed him closely, glancing at his cold profile from time to time, "Um... Third Uncle seems to have really stopped gambling these days. I think he really wants to change this time. Don't be angry."

In the corridor on the third floor, Zhu Jiu suddenly turned around.

"Why are you always afraid that I'll be angry?"

Jingzhi was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled at him, "You took me in and treated me very well. Of course I want to repay you and make you happy every day."

"Then stay with me."

Zhu Jiu clenched his slightly moist palms, "This way I'll be happy every day."

Jingzhi held onto the railing and tightened her fingers slightly, "Well...it's only been a day. You promised to give me half a month, you can't go back on your word."

"Don't talk about this. You said you wanted to give me something, so give it to me."

She held out her hands to him.

Zhu Jiu looked at her rosy white palms and sighed secretly.

Alas, failed again.

Zhu Jiu turned and walked towards the room, "It's in my room, I'll give it to you."

Jingzhi stopped at the door of his room and said, "You...you take it out for me. I'll wait for you here."

Zhu Jiu stood in the room and turned around.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Not really." Jingzhi put her hands behind her back, pinched her fingers and made up an excuse, "As a woman, it's not easy for me to just walk into your room."

Zhu Jiu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

When she was in Villa No. 1, she broke into his room in the middle of the night for three consecutive days, and even the door lock couldn't stop her.

Now she told him not to just come in?

Ah.

Since Zhu Jiu was moved, how could he let her flirt and run away?

But you need to be more accommodating and patient with her.

Zhu Jiu nodded at her and went back to his room to get something.

Jingzhi walked to the end of the corridor and opened the window completely, letting the moonlight pour into the long corridor.

She raised her head and looked at the almost round full moon, reciting silently in her heart.

[God, I'm not with him. Please bless him to be safe and sound tomorrow. Don't let anything go wrong.]

"What are you looking at?"

She was tapped lightly on the shoulder.

Jingzhi paused slightly, leaned against the window frame and turned around, "Where are the things?"

"Lower your head."

"?"

Zhu Jiu put his hands behind his back and suddenly wanted to act a little rogue.

"If you don't bow your head, I won't give it to you."

Jingzhi: “…You weren’t like this before.”

Zhu Jiu smiled at her, "I will get better and better, believe me."

"..."

Are they talking about the same thing?

"I mean, you haven't been this... well, lively before."

Zhu Jiu: "Are you saying that I was lifeless before?"

Jingzhi: "...Not really, he's just cool and doesn't talk much."

Zhu Jiu: "What kind do you like?"

Jingzhi: “I like…”

She suddenly stopped talking.

Perhaps it was the beautiful moonlight that gave her the desire to speak, and she almost let him dig out her secrets.

She pursed her lips, returned to the topic, and lowered her head slightly towards him, "I lowered my head, and then what?"

Zhu Jiu looked at the white hair whorl in front of his eyes, and suddenly lowered his head and pecked her hair lightly.

Feeling the slight temperature that was about to be touched, Jingzhi was stunned at first, and the ears on both sides turned red visibly.

She was furious and wanted to raise her head to curse him, but he gently held her head down.

"Don't be angry, don't move."

Jingzhi's cheeks puffed up with anger. "You...you are so shameless. We are not even together yet! You rascal!"

After Zhu Jiu put the thing around her neck, he took a step back.

"Well, I'm a gangster."

"you!"

The pendant on her chest absorbed the moonlight, and the cinnabar-coated magic circle suddenly flickered and lit up with red light.

Jingzhi, who was cursing, was instantly distracted.

She lowered her head and picked up the familiar yet unfamiliar kitten pendant to look at it.

"What did you do? Why is it shining?"

"Also, I gave you this thing, it's yours, you don't have to give it to me again."

Zhu Jiu stretched out his index finger and gently pressed the new bell on the kitten's neck. The red light instantly retracted and returned to its original appearance.

Jingzhi looked at the small golden bell on the jade cat's neck and couldn't help but wonder whether Lin Feng had planted some memories in his mind in this life.

This thing looks like the bell she placed in her sea of ​​consciousness.

This world is quite safe. She hasn't worn it for a long time. When she suddenly looked at it, she really missed it.

Suddenly, he was pecked on the head again.

Jingzhi raised his head suddenly and hit Zhu Jiu's chin.

He covered his mouth and looked at her with aggrieved eyes.

"Jingjing... I can't help it... you... I'm bleeding."

"you deserve it!"

She said as she pried his hands apart and checked his mouth.

Sure enough, there was a cut on his lip caused by his teeth, and a bead of bright red blood was oozing out.

She frowned, tugged at his sleeve, and pulled him into her room.

She took out two pieces of paper, folded them in half, and then pressed them against his mouth. "Press it yourself. Who told you not to be honest?"

Zhu Jiu pressed the paper, as if to take credit, and pointed at the pendant around her neck and said:

"The formation on this pendant was damaged by some unknown impact."

"I've improved it a bit. If someone attacks you, it will automatically create a small barrier around you that even bullets can't penetrate."

"This time... you don't have to be afraid."

Did he hear what she whispered in the afternoon?

"Since it works so well, I hope you're the one wearing it."

Jingzhi picked up the rope and was about to take it off, but Zhu Jiu quickly held the red string and said, "No need. I don't know what you're afraid of, but you'll feel more at ease if you take it with you."

Jingzhi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him steadily.

Fool.

She would feel more at ease if he wore it.

[Zhu He: Hey, Xiaojiu, I heard her inner voice. Do you want to listen?]

A sentence suddenly exploded in Zhu Jiu's mind.

He blinked his eyes slightly and immediately chased the person away in his mind.

Please go back to the next door to practice. I've already said that I can handle my own emotional problems.

[Zhu He: She calls you a fool in her heart. She said that the way she feels more at ease is...]

Zhu Jiu's eyelids twitched slightly.

That bastard just left mid-sentence?

How about playing with him? !

Zhu Jiu looked at Jingzhi in front of him seriously and suddenly said:

"I'm not stupid."

Jingzhi: “Uh…”

How does he know what I'm thinking?

Could he read minds?

The golden boy in the quiet sea of ​​consciousness looks at his nose with his eyes and looks at his heart with his nose.

Zhu He is of a higher rank than him. He is an earthly immortal, while Zhu He is a golden immortal. He'd better keep his mouth shut to avoid retaliation in the future.

Zhu Jiu's arms were no match for Jingzhi's thighs, and she was forced to wear the necklace by Jingzhi. However, her reasons were irrefutable.

"I know how you feel. At least wear it tomorrow. Once this is over, if you return it to me, I promise I won't refuse."

Zhu Jiu looked down at the pendant, then looked at her expectantly, "Do you care about me?"

Jingzhi nodded generously, "Of course."

Before Zhu Jiu could be happy for a few seconds, she started to lose control.

"You're my landlord."

"I also care about Doudou, Uncle San, Axiang, and Aunt Min, the manager of our calligraphy class."

Zhu Jiu: Why did he ask this question just now?

"Then... I'll wear it for one day and then give it back to you."

"no problem!"

In that case, does she have to return the money from selling the pendant to him?

Jingzhi paused for a moment and continued:

"When I get my salary, I will pay you back the money you gave me before."

She patted her chest and made a promise, "Don't worry, I work here. You know my company. I won't run away."

Zhu Jiu:6.

"If you... hold my hand, you won't have to pay me back."

Jingzhi righteously refused:

"No, am I that kind of person? You're really going too far!"

Zhu Jiu paused and said:

"You don't have to pay for the lights in the basement either."

Jingzhi suddenly grabbed his hand, shook it twice, and then patted his shoulders twice as if they were brothers.

"Good comrade, you are so kind!!"

Zhu Jiu: There's no personal emotion at all in this hand-holding, let alone creating even the slightest bit of an ambiguous atmosphere. He miscalculated...

Fearing that Jing would suddenly ask him to join the party, Zhu Jiu curled his lips and hurried back to the next room...
