Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Seven or eight minutes later, Lin Ying received another invoice.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the small bouquet of lily of the valley in his hand, and suddenly remembered the language of flowers he had just seen on the wall of the store.

White lily of the valley - the white flowers sway like little bells against the backdrop of green leaves. They are often given to lovers to express sincere love.

It also symbolizes the return of happiness and joy.

When someone thought of these words, his pupils began to sway.

The hands holding the bouquet began to sweat quietly.

I don’t know where it went to play. It was so quiet and I didn’t hear any sound from it for a long time.

Lin Ying silently hid the flowers behind her and searched one by one with red ears.

"...Zhizhi? It's time to go home."

"What?"

Jingzhi seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him on purpose. He could clearly see a little bit of her white hair, but when he walked to the aisle on her side, she immediately turned to the opposite side.

Lin Ying frowned, "Zhizhi? Don't you want to go back? Want to play for a while longer?"

Next to the rows of spider plants in the distance, a shirked cat head suddenly popped out and meowed softly at Lin Ying.

That voice was like a softener. Lin Ying relaxed his brows, squatted down, and opened his palm towards her. "Are you going back?"

The kitten seemed a little hesitant, and stomped its front paws back and forth a few times. Seeing that he was covering his mouth and coughing again, the kitten frowned, curled up its left front paw, and limped over on three legs.

Lin Ying's eyes paused, his gaze fixed on her curled paw. "What's wrong with your paw?"

Jingzhi glanced around, then took the initiative to lie in his left arm, hiding his claws, and hummed very quietly, "No, nothing, let's go back."

Lin Ying had no intention of hiding the flowers. He inserted the flowers behind him into the gap between the potted plants next to him. He held her with one hand and pulled out her hidden left front paw with the other.

Lin Ying looked at the claw that was swollen like a big mangosteen speechlessly and asked her what happened.

Jin Tong laughed and pounded the ground in her sea of ​​consciousness.

[She can’t possibly tell you, hahahahahahaha]

[Your hand is irritated and you got stung by a bee. Aren’t you asking for trouble? Hahahaha, your claws are making me laugh to death~]

Jingzhi was almost angry and embarrassed, but her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the bunch of lily of the valley flowers hanging down.

"For me?" she asked in a low voice.

Lin Ying hesitated and said that his room smelled of disinfectant and he just bought a bunch of flowers to get rid of the smell.

Jingzhi became depressed, hummed softly, and lay quietly on his arm.

Lin Ying pursed her lips, feeling shy and not daring to say anything more. She simply held her with one hand, pulled out the bouquet with the other, and walked up the mountain.

The flower and bird market is not far from the villa area.

It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the hotel.

The whole journey was quiet and peaceful, even quieter than when her mouth was tied.

Lin Ying, who was never good at taking the initiative, was walking on the tree-lined path when she suddenly stopped.

"The..."

He called out softly, but she didn't respond.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the winding road ahead in a daze.

My left paw was swollen and painful, and the skin was getting tighter and tighter, but my mood at the moment was even more depressed than that slight discomfort.

Although he agreed to be friends with her again, every time she wanted to be closer to him or have some conversation that was slightly beyond the line, he always had a reason or some excuse to refuse.

"Xiaoying, I will practice hard. When I have enough spiritual power, I will become an adult. Can you... agree to one more of my willful requests and try it with me?"

The hot sweat on the palm of his hand kept increasing. Lin Ying switched the flower and the cat, moving the cat to his right arm, away from his heart.

She didn't look up, but just stared straight ahead and asked the question in a whisper.

What she didn't see was Lin Ying's red ears and the mask that rose and fell with her slightly rapid breathing.

And the heartbeat like a drum can only be heard by the little lily of the valley swaying in the wind.

Lin Ying still didn't answer, but quickened his pace and hurried back.

Jingzhi's lifeless eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. She couldn't force it too much. Ajuan was right about what she said before.

The harder you push, the more counterproductive it will be.

She should give him some time to prepare himself mentally.

……

As if this question had never been asked, Jingzhi returned to the villa and continued to laugh and jump around with his mischievous disciples.

Lin Ying looked at her front paws, which were a little frizzy after he washed them with soapy water, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

I don’t know if it was because he went out and got caught in the wind, or if he infected someone else, but Jingzhi came back and coughed twice, which scared him a lot.

Not daring to get close, Lin Ying went back into the house holding the flowers.

The white flower buds drooped to one side, not yet fully opened, but their elegant fragrance was already diffused in the air along with the flowing wind.

Lin Ying sat at the table, lightly brushing the petals with her fingers, her eyes a little dazed, but more of it was confusion.

He should have agreed just now, but why did he remain silent? He knew very well why.

But I still can't do it.

If I rashly agree to her, this impure emotion will only hurt her.

During the time she was in a coma, Lin Ying sorted out her feelings for a long time.

It cannot be said that he did not feel a throbbing of love for her.

It’s just that this kind of love seems to be mixed with a bit of inexplicable family affection, and it’s impossible to separate it all at once.

He couldn't agree right away.

"Are you unhappy?"

He pointed at the small white oval buds, sighed softly, and gradually dissipated into the air.

The lily of the valley swayed in the wind, and the buds swayed twice, as if responding to him.

It was still noisy outside. She had not used her childish voice since she woke up. Now she could vaguely hear her and several of her apprentices talking and laughing, and their laughter was a little gentle.

For some reason, he actually felt a little envious of his disciples.

He opened the plastic bag of medicine on the table. He bought more than half a month's worth of medicine, but he only took a little.

Lin Ying carefully selected the food according to the size of each meal.

No matter what his feelings for her were, he hoped that he could stay healthy and accompany her for a little longer...

……

The villa is still bustling as night falls.

When it gets dark, it becomes the home of ghosts.

Ajuan, who was listless during the day, is now perky.

With Lin Ying's instructions, before the two foreigners moved in, she had to do special courage training for several apprentices all night long without interruption.

At the beginning, the young people were always frightened by strange phenomena such as ghost faces appearing on the wall, ghost hands sticking out of the toilet, blood coming out of the faucet, etc. Later, they figured out some tricks by themselves.

Thunder talismans are pasted on the body, ghost-chasing talismans are drawn on the bed, and the third brother is even more exaggerated, he even wears boxer shorts when taking a bath.

There was an enhanced version of the ghost-exorcising talisman painted on the front of his pants with cinnabar. Ajuan, who was about to scare him, was so frightened by his pants that she bounced directly against the wall.

This incident seems to be a signal.

All night long, Jingzhi, who was half asleep and half awake, could hear Ajuan screaming and screaming as she was bullied by several young men who started to counterattack.

At the morning table, Jingzhi sat opposite Lin Ying, licking the milk from the bowl.

Several apprentices sat on both sides of the table chatting and laughing. Although they didn't sleep much last night, the feeling of bullying ghosts was refreshing, and they were all very excited at the moment.

Ajuan came over pitifully, holding a scented oil candle and sat down. Her hair was disheveled and her face was bruised.

I also didn't forget to say hello to the big boss here, "Good morning, uncle~"

She licked the candle, pursed her lips, and had tears in her eyes, which made Lin Ying frown.

"I'm telling you guys, don't be so harsh. She's a girl after all."

The third brother pulled out the talisman paper stuck in Ajuan's bun and said with a grin, "Master, your talisman is really powerful. Let's fold it into paper airplanes and shoot them at her. We'll hit the target every time!"

"Tsk, am I telling you this?" Lin Ying raised her hand and knocked on the table. "50 yuan per person, buy her some gold ingot candles."

"Huh?" stingy Ah Shi clutched his pockets tightly. "That's not the case. Aren't we training?"

Jingzhi licked the milk stains from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Ajuan's pitiful look, and sighed.

"This is too tragic. Your Chunchun is beating up her 'coach'. Either burn some ingot candles to calm her down and strengthen her soul, or take her out to play and relax. Look at how she's been beaten up. She's almost shut herself down."

"Okay, okay!" The excited third child shook Lin Ying's arm, winking and acting coquettishly, "Master, we have been staying at home and taking good care of Xiaozhi these days. Let us go out and play for a while. We promise to bring Ajuan with us."

Lin Ying put down the spoon and looked up at the bright sun outside the window. "If we go out now, she will definitely be scared to death."

"Hold an umbrella." Jingzhi suggested.

Shao Shao, who turned into a ghost before, also carried an umbrella when he went out, so there is no reason why A Juan cannot do the same.

"Do you want to go out?" Lin Ying asked Ajuan.

Ajuan, who had no opinion, looked left and right, then looked at Lin Ying timidly.

It’s hard to tell from Grandpa’s expressionless face. Should she want to go out or not?

"If you want to go, just go. I actually want to go too." Jingzhi said.

Lin Ying clenched the spoon slightly. His cold had not yet recovered, so it seemed that he could not go with them.

Lin Ying: "You can go, but come back early. Someone is moving in today, so please keep an eye out."

Yes, two big bad guys are going to move in. Jingzhi licked his still swollen left paw and felt conflicted.

Lin Ying's room is just opposite the rooms of those two bad guys. What if they all leave and the sick Xiaoying is bullied?

"Forget it, you guys take Ajuan with you, I'm not going," she said.

Lin Ying: "If you want to play, go ahead. I can do it."

Jingzhi: "You can bullshit."

This was the first time Lin Ying was scolded but she wasn't angry.

The corner of her mouth, slightly hidden by her beard, curled up in a subtle arc. Was she caring about him?
