Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

A Juan asked the relatively honest Lao Si to help her exchange the gold bars for incense and candles.

The fourth brother made four trips back and forth in one afternoon.

Her room was filled with gold paper ingots, paper mansions and luxury cars, but in the end a gold bar was only slightly damaged.

Looking at the room full of paper products piled up to the ceiling, Ajuan's two ghost eyes turned directly into $.

"Grandma, I, I, have suddenly become rich!"

Ajuan waved her hand and bought herself an exquisite incinerator, which she placed in the open space in the backyard.

Xiaowu burned incense for her for the whole afternoon. His eyes were red from smoke and his head was full of paper ashes. Finally, he finished burning all the things in her room.

The old lady behind the villa even came over on crutches from the tree-lined path between the two villas to join in the fun.

"Young people nowadays are filial. Are they burning this for Uncle Ying?"

Xiaowu smiled and crushed the plastic lighter in his hand.

Uncle Ying?

Is this a curse on my master?

If Xiaowu, who had misunderstood, had not had a heart of respect for the elderly, he would have thrown the stack of paper money in his hand in the old lady's face.

The swirling smoke was blown away by the wind.

Lin Ying's room faces the back garden.

No matter how well-sealed the windows were, some smoke would still drift into his house through the cracks in the door.

Lin Ying's eyes also felt sore and her nose itchy from the smoke.

I don’t know what Ajuan was doing upstairs, her high heels were making a clattering sound.

It was really hard to fall asleep, and when he heard voices outside the window, he simply sat up.

Turn your head and look out the window.

In the setting sun, Xiao Wu had a bad look on his face, his fists clenched tightly, and he was talking to a familiar old lady, not knowing what he was talking about.

Fearing that Xiaowu might offend the old man, Lin Ying hurriedly walked out of the room in her blue slippers.

When passing the living room, he was stopped by the sight of the third brother sitting on the sofa with a mask on and A-Shi covering his mouth.

"sick?"

The third brother crossed his arms, turned his head to the right, and snorted at the kitten in the corner of the sofa, "How stingy! What's wrong with the master being kissed by an old flower like me!?"

Ah Shi moved his hand away and let Lin Ying take a look at Jingzhi's performance. "I'm still relatively good. The third brother's mouth was almost torn apart by her."

Lin Ying took a closer look.

Three claw marks were slanted across Ah Shi's upper and lower lips.

Accidentally touching the wound, Ah Shi hissed and complained to the Third Brother, "I should have listened to you earlier. I knew she cared about the Master, so why would I get involved with you?"

Only then did Lin Ying remember what happened before going to bed.

In order to express their deep love for their master, the two disciples kissed him.

But kitten...isn't this a bit too harsh?

Lin Ying didn't know how to understand her current mood.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for my apprentice.

On the other hand, she has a lively and lovely personality and can just laugh it off no matter what happens.

Today she actually fought with these two idiots. It can be seen that the fact is just as Ah Shi said, she cares about him very much.

Lin Ying pursed his lips slightly, glanced at the kitten that was staring at him, and then looked away.

Due to some concerns, Lin Ying didn't want her to see his mood changes.

He lowered his head slightly and nodded, without saying anything else. He walked to the dining table, filled the plate with milk, opened the glass door of the living room, turned right, and went to the backyard.

The chrysanthemum plants that had not yet been planted were dumped on the open space outside the living room.

The sunlight shines on the yellowish petals, dyeing them golden.

The elegant scent blew into the house through the half-open living room door.

Jingzhi took a deep breath, quietly lowered her raised upper body, rested her chin on her paws, and stared blankly at the swaying chrysanthemums outside the window.

It had been more than two hours since he went to bed, and he had only glanced at her just once.

Jingzhi suddenly felt a little regretful.

She lowered her head and reflected on whether she had played too much with him at noon.

He is so concerned about his reputation and has a thin skin.

She shouldn't have been too intimate with him in front of his apprentice.

"Sorry……"

She suddenly whispered.

No matter how much the third brother complained, he would be at a loss as to what to do if she apologized sincerely.

Because his mouth hurt, his answer was a little muffled and low, as if he couldn't open his mouth. "I am a magnanimous man and I won't bother with a kitten."

Since Lin Ying saw his ugly appearance, Ah Shi was not afraid of boiling water and stopped covering his mouth, revealing the wound on his mouth openly.

The weather was really cold. He put his reddened hands into the pockets of his down jacket, lowered his head slightly, and asked Jingzhi, who was clearly distracted,

"When can you regain your human form?"

"Recovering your human form, we have no objection to you kissing Master any way you want."

This sounds strange.

Jingzhi frowned and looked at him.

Ah Shi touched his nose and explained to her:

"The third brother said that you like Master, so we two kissed him on purpose for you to see. In your anger, you might even turn back into a woman."

Lin Ying, who had just walked in from outside with Xiaowu, was a little dazed.

He said that even men shouldn't touch each other, and these two disciples always felt weak in the knees when they saw him, so how could they come up to him on their own initiative?

As for the last time the third brother kissed him, it was purely because the third brother suddenly went crazy.

He stepped onto the terrace, bent down to knock the mud off his slippers, and said to them:

"Jingzhi's spiritual power is overdrawn, and she smelled of alcohol. She's already feeling unwell. She didn't mean to not change into her human form. You two should be quiet and stop teasing her."

The third brother propped up the soft backrest with his right hand, sat up straight, and rested his elbows on his knees. This time, he really meant something, considering himself a master in the love field. He pointed at Lin Ying:

"Master, your spiritual power is overdrawn... It seems it's because you broke the barrier."

"Also, she finally cultivated a little spiritual power, and after confessing to you once, she was struck by lightning..."

"Also, she finally got to be alone with you at home for once, and because of your carelessness, she now has to take medicine to survive..."

"Look at it for yourself. Do you think it's appropriate to insist on being with her and making things difficult for yourself just for a little money?"

Lin Ying stood outside the corridor holding her dirty slippers, and was speechless for a moment after hearing his question.

Is that a small amount of money?

Rounding it off, she is a billionaire. He was just a poor Taoist priest who watched the night watch from the beginning. How could he be worthy of her?

Xiao Wu has always been outspoken. After hearing what her third brother said, she scratched her head and looked at Lin Ying in confusion and asked:

"Master, didn't you say that if it wasn't the right fate, God would give you a sign so that you could stay away from that fate in time?"

"Could it be that you two...are destined to be together?"

Lin Ying raised his head quickly and subconsciously wanted to refute her, but when he saw Jingzhi looking at him, he clenched the slippers in his hand and looked away.

Is not explaining his answer?

The sunset glowed purple, and the rosy glow on the horizon was swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit.

Tears began to swirl in Jingzhi's eyes.

She held back the tears that kept welling up in her eyes and sniffed.

This relationship, in this life, seems to have always been her one-way pursuit.

Although she was injured and unlucky, Jingzhi, who was as stubborn as an ox, refused to admit that this was a cruel fate.

She stood up and jumped off the sofa, "It's time for me to drink milk, you guys can do whatever you want."

She has a fixed place at the dining table.

There is a small plate with a yellow edge on top, and there is a cute cat catching mouse pattern painted on the bottom of the basin.

This was the milk basin that Lin Ying brought for her when she came back in the morning.

Just because Zhong Yao mentioned that milk could help sober up when she left the hospital, she never stopped drinking milk.

He was so considerate to her in real life, but he never expressed it clearly.

Did he still raise her as his own daughter?

Jingzhi licked the milk with a snapping sound.

The milk in the basin didn't decrease.

The more you drink, the saltier it becomes.

Tears rolled down in strings and fell into the milk basin, creating countless ripples.

Ah Shi stood aside, feeling a little sad as he watched.

He twisted his lips, turned his head and glared at Xiao Wu, and mouthed to her, "I told you not to talk too much."

Now the kitten is crying.

This kind of silent crying is the most miserable, he didn't dare to look at it for too long.

Xiaowu covered her mouth and raised her chin towards Lin Ying who was standing in front of her.

She said that on purpose.

The master looks mature and steady.

Actually...it is indeed very stable.

Whatever he is thinking, he never reveals it on the surface.

If we don't push him, he will probably hide in his shell for the rest of his life.

It’s just... Sister Zhizhi will have to suffer a little.

……

The kitten drank and sobbed.

Because she was trying to suppress her crying, her little body was shaking and she looked so pitiful.

Lin Ying raised his hand to dismiss everyone.

Several apprentices were also very tactful and moved back to their rooms, while Ajuan upstairs was still partying to herself.

Lin Ying withdrew her gaze from the stairs and looked at the pitiful little figure at the table.

Apart from the fact that she lied to him at the beginning, the series of events that happened later were indeed his fault.

No matter what the outcome, he should give her an explanation.

"The..."

The sound was very close.

Barefoot Lin Ying had already come silently behind her.

Jingzhi was crying so hard that her body froze for a moment and then she hiccuped.

It was really embarrassing to cry secretly while drinking milk, so she didn't turn around, "What's the matter? I'm drinking milk, I'm busy."

"Don't drink it anymore." He picked up the dish of milk. "I'll change the bowl for you."

After just a few seconds, there was a "whoosh" sound, which was the sound of water hitting the sink.

Then came the sound of Lin Ying rinsing dishes.

Tears were falling like rain, and a large pool of tears had accumulated in front of Jingzhi.

She pouted, "Why do you pour out my milk...you're wasting food."

At some point, he came to her again.

His slightly cool fingers gently smoothed the hair on her head.

After a few seconds, Jingzhi shrank his neck and avoided it. "You said it yourself, you will give me an answer in fifteen days."

"Before this, you don't have to touch me out of guilt or anything else."

"…………well……"

A helpless sigh sounded from the back of her head.

"I just……"

After saying just three words, he seemed to get stuck and trailed off.

His slender fingers passed through her armpits from behind and gently pulled her back towards him.

Lin Ying held her in one hand and held a new dish of milk in the other, and walked up to the third floor barefoot.

Those rascals were all gossipy. He didn't want them to know his private affairs...

……

Jingzhi retracted his claws, somewhat afraid to move.

Now she couldn't figure out whether he had any romantic feelings for her.

Baby bed, baby chair, stroller, and milk pot.

Each piece looks like it comes from a father's sincere love.

She never dared to think too deeply about it.

……

"Click."

The milk basin was placed on the desk.

Lin Ying raised her hand and turned on the desk lamp.

He moved the chair and sat down next to the bed.

Jingzhi was placed on the cat bed beside the bed.

She looked up at him blankly, and suddenly had a premonition that he might have something serious to say to her.

The previous omens gave her a very bad feeling.

Jingzhi didn't want to hear what Lin Ying was about to say, so she crawled under the nest and pressed her ears with her front paws.

"Don't tell me. I'd rather listen to it in fifteen days."

"……Really?"

The nest was gently moved away.

The claws on top of her head were also gently pried off.

My hearing, which had become clearer, suddenly caught a self-deprecating remark from Lin Ying:

"Zhizhi, I have always been reluctant to admit it."

“Because even I can’t believe it.”

"I never thought that this day would come."

"The words love at first sight were just empty words to me before you appeared."

"But it...did happen."

Jingzhi's eyes widened and her mouth couldn't close.

Lin Ying, who was finally willing to talk, pursed her lips and raised her hands to cover the kitten's face. "Don't look at me, if you look at me... I can't say it."

"Okay, okay." She was so excited that her tongue was almost tied. "You, you...you talk, I listen, I'm listening."

Lin Ying's ears blushed slightly, and she smiled softly, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't listen?"

"Okay, I want to hear the good news." She said mischievously.

Lin Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

He could imagine how cute Jingzhi, as a woman, looked when she said those naughty words just now.

He slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, and his hand moved down a little.

A faint kiss, like a snowflake falling on her brow, revealed everything.

Jingzhi's legs went weak and she collapsed back onto the bed, her bright cat-like eyes full of disbelief.

"You, do you treat me as your daughter, or do you have romantic feelings for me? Even a daughter can kiss her forehead."

Lin Ying sighed and rubbed her head, "I'll only say this once."

She hooked her arm around his, "No, no, you didn't say anything!"

He smiled bitterly and pinched her little flesh pad with his backhand, "Jingzhi, I'm not a pervert. To a kitten, I..."

How can I still say that I like you?

She blinked twice and suddenly grinned, "Xiaoying, it's time for me to drink milk."

Lin Ying was stunned.

He was just expressing his feelings, and although he didn't say it explicitly, she suddenly said she wanted to drink milk. Wasn't that a bit of a spoiler?

Jingzhi ignored him and jumped onto the table, lowering her head and drinking milk.

Lin Ying frowned and propped up her head to look at her. At this moment, she really wanted to shake her little cat shoulders and ask for her answer.

"Boom."

From where her tail was broken, another identical tail stretched out.

The tail was waving in the air happily at this time.

Lin Ying immediately thought of the one hidden in his briefcase.

……

Never mind, it’s fine to get along like this.

He just wants her to be well.
