Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

He stepped over the threshold and was about to come in, but then he remembered that this was the sissy's house, so he stopped where he was. Looking at Erdi's silent expression in front of him, he curled his lips.

If I had known this, why bother.

But it is necessary to scold:

"Sissy, you're still angry. Liang Zan was right to scold you!"

"Uncle Hua Bao!"

Jingzhi glanced at Erdi, whose fists were clenched white, and couldn't help but scream, then shook her head secretly at him.

Unexpectedly, Huang Huabao was a straightforward person and spoke out his thoughts on the spot.

He waved his hand and glared:

"Jingzhi, don't stop me, I want to say it today!

Sissy, didn't the master say that skills are passed on to those who are destined to be with you? Doesn't Liang Zan have a connection with you? That's why I say you are ruthless and cold-blooded!

Erdi gritted her teeth and wanted to throw the teacup in her hand, but with a "clang" sound, Jingzhi grabbed her wrist.

"I made it, are you throwing it away too?"

Erdi suddenly let go, but lowered her head again, her brows tightly knitted together, but her back was straight.

Well, you’re so stubborn!

She sighed, stood up and walked to the door:

"Uncle Hua Bao, I'm sorry, he's in a bad mood, so I won't invite you in for tea today. I'll... try to persuade him."

"I don't want to go in either, you sissy, and you're so grumpy! I'm going home! Humph!"

After saying that, he was furious and didn't take the right path. He flipped over two fences cleanly and neatly, leaving Jingzhi stunned.

She was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the stubborn Erdi was in the room, so she slowly closed the door.

Before she could turn around, he hugged her tightly from behind again.

This time, he didn't do any of those messy little movements, but just held her waist tightly and buried his head in her shoulder.

Jingzhi looked at the arm around her waist that was so tense that veins were popping out. She relaxed her hand and patted him twice to comfort him.

To lighten the mood, she pretended to be relaxed and said jokingly:

"Come sit over there for a while? Do you want to stand here until dark?"

Erdi was speechless, but just tightened the knot. After a long while, she said sullenly:

"Xiaozhi...will you also leave suddenly like him?"

"Snapped!"

Erdi covered the back of her hand, staring blankly at her with wide eyes as she turned around. Her eyes gradually turned red. She didn't need to pretend anymore, because she was really wronged this time.

"Xiaozhi, you..."

Jingzhi did not comfort him, but frowned and looked at him deeply and said:

"I just agreed to be with you last night, and you're so worried about it again? Liang Erdi, I'm not someone who goes back on my word."

Erdi's lips trembled, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He just felt extremely aggrieved. He pursed his lips, and a layer of mist actually appeared in his eyes.

Jingzhi also pursed her lips, frowned and said:

"Don't cry! What Liang Zan said is not without some truth. Think about it, if you didn't have martial arts skills, when you were teased by that gangster, wouldn't you have no power to resist? Wouldn't you be at the mercy of others? And when the coach came to fight Guan Gong, if you were not in charge of the troupe, wouldn't they be bullied for no reason?

And ask yourself, if you really didn't want to take him as your apprentice, why did you keep him until now? Only a few half-years are left in life, and he's already shown enough sincerity...

I know you're worried that if he learns martial arts, he might get into trouble if he fights with others, but you should have seen his character clearly over the past six months. He learns martial arts for the purpose of defeating the enemy and protecting himself. Do you really think he would use it to harm others?"

Erdi took several steps back at what she said, and sat back at the table with a bang. Her face was pale, and her tears had stopped, but her head drooped. Her back, which had been straight all the time, was now slightly bent.

Looking at his distraught look, Jingzhi pondered what he had just said, wondering if he had gone a little too far.

But he was so stubborn that if she didn't explain things to him, he would definitely run away again. After all, not everyone would rush to get close to him like she did.

As a young man from a wealthy family, Liang Zan also has his own self-esteem.

Jingzhi slowly walked over, leaned over and hugged him from behind, gently stroking the faint red mark on his hand, and sighed:

"You, if you can't get pushed, you'd rather stay in a corner... I didn't hit you hard just now, so please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Erdi was in no mood to pick it up this time. He whispered:

"I know that just money or power, coupled with force, can easily lead to delusions."

Jingzhi turned around and sat in his arms, hugged his neck, stared into his eyes, and asked very seriously:

"Then do you think Liang Zan will become bad if he learns martial arts?"

"..."

He didn't answer, but just looked away again and put his head on her shoulder.

After sitting for a long time, Jingzhi was afraid that his legs would go numb. Just as he was about to stand up, Erdi suddenly said:

"...I hope you don't leave."

Azan is not a bad guy. It doesn’t matter whether he studies or not. He...as long as she is still here, it’s fine.

Jingzhi sighed softly, held up his face, and bit by bit, she smoothed away the wrinkles between his eyebrows. She then gently kissed his pale lips. After thinking for a while, she chuckled and said:

"As long as you don't drive me away, I won't leave."

Then, she leaned close to his ear and called softly:

"Because you are my future...husband."

This is probably what it was called in ancient times, she thought.

The word "husband" entered his brain from his left ear. Erdi felt that these two words instantly occupied his entire brain. He felt the blood in his body boiling, and his face was hot and flushed.

He pulled her neck back, facing her, staring into her eyes, opened his mouth, and whispered:

"Scream again?"

Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, and buried her head in his neck again, reaching out to pat his back gently:

"If you make peace with him, I'll yell. Don't be angry, okay? You might get yourself hurt."

He's a little sickly kid with a bad temper, probably a pufferfish.

"..."

He stopped talking again.

Jingzhi sighed, broke free from his restraints, stood up, and slowly walked to the door.

"Where are you going?"

Jingzhi didn't even turn around and made up an excuse:

"I drank too much porridge. I'm going to the bathroom."

He turned around and stared at Liang Zan's bowl and chopsticks across from him, uttered a low "oh", his eyes dull, and muttered casually:

"Do civet cats need to go to the toilet too?"

Jingzhi's forehead vein jumped and he closed his eyes. In the end, he couldn't bear to scold him at this time. He turned around and went out, closing the door again.

I wanted to go out and look for Liang Zan, but as soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw him sitting outside the fence, one leg straight and the other bent, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. He also looked lost, and a little more confused than Erdi.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he quickly got up, his eyes surprisingly bright, but when he saw that it was her, the light in his eyes quickly went out.

Jingzhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"Hey, you don't have to be like this when you see it's me."

Liang Zan sat back down, leaning against the fence, heaved a long sigh, and said while gazing at the white clouds in the sky:

"You're fine. You can stay with him. I've been with him for half a year and I'm nothing."

Jingzhi looked back at the silent house, then squatted down and said to him in a low voice:

"You know his personality, he's very awkward and stubborn. Don't leave yet. Go and apologize. I'll help you persuade him later."

Liang Zan's brows tightened:

"What I just said was from the bottom of my heart. Why should I apologize?"

Jingzhi tutted and plucked up a piece of weed from the ground and threw it at him:

"Do you still want to learn martial arts? Apologizing is just a way for him to save face. Otherwise, are you going to stay like this?"

She turned her face away and muttered:

"If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't bother to tell you so much."

Liang Zan sighed and said slowly:

"Let me think about it."

"..."

Yes, he is stubborn too.

If I wasn't stubborn, how could I have followed Erdi for half a year?

She tried her best to persuade him, but there was nothing she could do. This brat could only fend for himself.

……

She waited from noon, to afternoon, and then to evening, but Liang Zan never came in to apologize.

Erdi also sat at the table all day, didn't eat much for lunch, and didn't even touch dinner.

She didn't know if he heard their conversation, but seeing his increasingly frustrated look, she knew that he regretted it.

At this time, Jingzhi was lying quietly on her little bed, while Erdi was standing at the foot of her bed with her back to her, staring at the moon outside in a daze.

"I say, you don't want to sleep? Are you going to wait until tomorrow?"

“…I didn’t wait.”

"...Tsk, just keep talking tough."

"How about... sleeping together?"

"……No."

He is not in the mood.

Jingzhi was stunned. This morning he wanted to hang on her, but now he actually rejected her proposal?

He is really stubborn!

And you said you didn't want to accept him as your apprentice? She wouldn't believe it even if you beat her to death.

She rolled up the quilt, turned sideways and said:

"I'll give you a kiss, then you can go to sleep, okay? If you don't sleep, what if you have an asthma attack?"

Erdi looked at the gray clouds that obscured the bright moon, her mood growing increasingly depressed. She said lightly:

"...I don't want to kiss you right now."

Jingzhi: Well, she has no other options.

At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Erdi's body stiffened, her hands at her sides suddenly fell behind her back, and her spine straightened up again.

Jingzhi was a little embarrassed to watch, so as not to disturb the two of them, she silently pulled the quilt to the bridge of her nose, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

As soon as she finished her action, the door was gently pushed open and she caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye.

Okay, the stubborn guy outside the door is not stubborn this time and even remembers to bring in a cup of tea.

Liang Zan looked at Erdi's back, hesitated for a long time, then raised the cup with both hands and whispered:

"……sorry."

"..."

“…” Okay, he took her words to heart. He is a teachable boy.

But Erdi still turned her back and didn't say anything, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.

Seeing Liang Zan's arms trembling slightly from the pain of lifting his hands, and Erdi still not turning around, Jingzhi gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words from between his lips:

"Liang Erdi~"

Erdi's whole body trembled, and he finally lowered his hands behind his back. He turned around very slowly, glanced at Liang Zan indifferently, and stole a glance at Jingzhi in front of him on the left. Seeing her gritting her teeth, he tightened his grip and snorted coldly at Liang Zan:

"Serving tea... is it done while standing?"
