Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Liang Zan didn't know if he was stunned, and he didn't move for a long time. It was not until Jingzhi deliberately cleared his throat that he woke up as if from a dream and slowly knelt down.

At this moment, Jingzhi suddenly heard someone approaching the door at a very fast speed. The footsteps were very light, and perhaps because of the anxiety, the leaves outside the fence made a few rustling sounds.

She suddenly turned over and sat up, but before she got out of bed, someone came in with a bang on the door.

The three of them froze in place, and the visitor was also stunned.

"...Uncle Hua Bao, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

Hua Bao looked carefully at the two people, one standing and the other kneeling, serving tea. He understood and smiled awkwardly before saying to Jingzhi:

"I'm ruining the atmosphere. Hey, I just heard a noise and thought there was a thief here."

"..."

Jingzhi didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a smile.

Are you running so fast? Are you trying to catch a thief or just want to watch the fun?

Hua Bao shrank his legs, stretched, and clapped his hands with his mouth wide open:

"Hmm, I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep!"

After saying that, he closed the door gently and slipped away quickly.

When she heard the footsteps gradually fade away, she turned her head and winked at Liang Zan. Liang Zan understood and raised the tea in both hands above his head, his mouth almost grinning behind his ears:

"Master, please have tea."

Through Erdi's figure, he seemed to see his own future.

Will he be able to become this powerful in the future?

Jingzhi held her face and looked at Erdi's pretending to be reserved.

At this time, he had one hand behind his back, and his fingers, which looked even whiter in the moonlight, gently took the teacup. He opened his thin lips slightly and took a sip of tea. His expression was indifferent, and he hummed lightly.

Jingzhi thought, he is really good at pretending.

He didn't have this expression in front of her.

But seeing that they had reconciled, she was very happy, so she got out of bed with a creak, took a few quick steps, patted Liang Zan on the back of the head and said:

"Okay, now it's as you wish. Follow your master and learn well!"

Liang Zan rubbed the back of his head, grinning until his teeth showed, and winked at Jingzhi and said:

"Okay, Master Wife."

"You kid!" Jingzhi had just hit him on the kidney when his arm was pulled back.

She looked back and saw Erdi's eyes rolling around. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands. She could even see his bright red ears in the moonlight.

She was a little shocked. People called her Master's Wife, and she wasn't shy yet, but he got angry first.

What? There are fake wines and fake teas?

Liang Zan then smiled and stretched his face in front of them and said:

"Master, the trick I told you about—a virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man—did you use it? You see Jingzhi still refuses to acknowledge her as Master's wife. How about you try the other trick I told you about—forcing her to have sex?"

Erdi closed her eyes silently.

Jingzhi’s first word was “?”, and a second later it became “!!!”.

Good guy!

She exclaimed, "What a guy!"

She said that Erdi appeared to be a charming and attractive actress, but her private temper and behavior were like those of an elementary school student.

Moreover, before, he only dared to pull her sleeves, but these past two days, he suddenly became a different person, being too clingy.

It turns out that this brat was the one behind this!

Seeing that her eyes were full of sparks and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Liang Zan's teasing smile gradually twisted into extreme fear. He screamed in a strange voice and then ran away.

Jingzhi quickly looked around, picked up the feather duster on the table and threw it out.

The handle of the duster brushed past Liang Zan's ear with a "whoosh" sound, and then with an extremely fast "pop", it penetrated the wooden door in front of him.

A few wood chips fell, and Liang Zan's pupils kept shaking, as if he was under a spell and was fixed in place.

After a long while, the duster still made a buzzing sound. As it vibrated, a few chicken feathers fell off and landed on the ground along with Liang Zan's bean-sized cold sweat.

"Master, help, help~"

Erdi looked at him angrily, her legs weakened with fear. Suddenly, she glanced at Liang Zan, who was leaning against the door, and then she gently patted Jingzhi's hand and said:

"Don't be angry." Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.

When Jingzhi heard him cough, his anger disappeared instantly.

She lifted his chin with a worried look on her face and took a closer look. Seeing that he was a little breathless and his face was pale, she was worried and angry. She wanted to punch him, but she was afraid that a punch would kill him. She clenched her fist and cracked it for a long time. In the end, she only dared to gently push his forehead with her index finger, but her mouth was pouting:

"I told you not to eat for a day and then stand at the window for half the night. Now you feel better. You must be feeling unwell."

Liang Zan heard the cough and hurried over. He kept rubbing his hands and looked at Erdi awkwardly:

"Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for coming back too late."

Erdi put her arm around Jingzhi's shoulders and said slowly to Liang Zan:

"It's not too late, huh, ahem."

Seeing that he was breathing harder and harder, Jingzhi rubbed his chest anxiously:

"Is it serious? Do you want me to make you some more medicine to drink?"

Liang Zan was just about to say "I'll go and endure it", but suddenly he saw his master pretending to be dizzy, put his hand on his forehead to cover his eyes, and quickly winked at him, and he immediately understood.

It turned out that the master was using a torture trick on his mistress.

He is worthy of being a master. He is even better than him. He pretended so well that he was fooled.

So he shut his mouth and said nothing, walked to the door and pulled out the feather duster. As he pulled it out, he secretly looked at his master out of the corner of his eye and pretended to be pitiful.

A few more coughs.

"Xiaozhi, cough cough, just help me go back and rest. Liang Zan, you should go to bed too. If you don't sleep now, cough cough, it will be dawn."

As soon as it came to Erdi's body, Jingzhi was like a frightened bird.

Hearing him say this, she quickly put his weight on herself, holding his hand on her shoulder with one hand, holding his waist with the other hand, and slowly walked into the room.

"You lie down for a while, I'll close the window."

She helped Erdi lie down, pulled the quilt over to cover him tightly, then climbed onto the kang, gently removed the window support rod, and closed the window tightly.

Just as she was about to get off the kang, her body suddenly turned around, and she was lying next to Erdi. The moment she lay down, Erdi seemed to be afraid that she would refuse, so she quickly gave her half of the quilt and tucked it in carefully for her.

Suddenly, a foot stretched out from outside the door and hooked the door, then closed it very slowly as if afraid of being discovered by the people inside the room.

At the moment of complete closure, Liang Zan hid his achievements and fame, and lay down on his small bed with a creak, crossed his legs proudly, and put his hands behind his head, with his big feet swinging.

He thought that if his master didn't make any progress this time, then he would be really helpless.

inside the house.

The scene of the door closing just now was seen clearly by Jingzhi, who had sharp eyes and ears.

"...Are you lying to me again?"

She turned her head to look at Erdi and found that in the moonlight, he was leaning sideways with his head supported, smiling at her gently.

He took her hand and rubbed it on his face, saying:

"You can tell from my expression. Besides, you're so smart. If I were to pretend... you'd definitely be able to tell."

Jingzhi took a closer look and found that something was indeed wrong, so he suppressed his suspicion and snorted proudly, but there was a bit of concern in his eyes:

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you? You haven't eaten much today."

Erdi gently pinched her index finger, smiled and said:

"No, eating in the middle of the night is bad for your stomach. Just eat early tomorrow morning. Don't worry."

Jingzhi asked again: "Then where else do you feel uncomfortable——"

Erdi tapped her lips lightly and said expectantly:

"You said that if I reconcile with him, you will call me...husband."

Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover her face and said sullenly:

"We're not married yet...you should go to bed early. I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, she quickly jumped down and twisted her body like a maggot. She was about to slide to the ground. Erdi was speechless, but she was still quick to grab her waist and lift her back to her original position.

"If you don't want to scream, then don't scream. It's almost dawn. Can you sleep with me for a while?"

He pointed to the moon outside, which was gradually getting smaller.

Jingzhi had been feeling sorry for him all day and had even hit him during the day. She felt a little guilty at the moment, but couldn't find any reason to refuse, so she gave in and nodded in agreement.

……

He was well-behaved tonight and didn't get too close to her on purpose. He just rested his face on one hand, leaned sideways, and looked at her tenderly. There was a person's body distance between them. If there was any physical contact, it was the pair of clasped hands between the quilt.

He gently stroked her gloves, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and scratched the patterns on them with his fingernails. After thinking for a long time, he finally said:

"I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time. Why... do you wear these gloves every day?"

Especially since this thing was given to him by Liang Zan, he felt a little upset every time he looked at it.

Jingzhi very slowly retracted his head into the quilt, and quickly muttered:

"I'm afraid of the cold!"

Erdi was silent for a moment, then lifted up her face, which was half buried in the quilt, and said:

"It's midsummer now, and I only wear light clothing."

Looking at his thoughtful eyes, Jingzhi suddenly didn't want to make excuses anymore. She lowered her eyelids and said softly:

"Don't ask if it's okay. I'll tell you when I have the chance."

She said to herself: When you are better, if you ask, I will tell you.

She knew that if he had known the secret of the medicine at that moment, he would definitely not want to take it because of the pain in his heart.

Erdi saw that her face looked a little strange, so she nodded and slowly closed her eyes.

She was a little dazed, and after a long while, she asked softly:

"Are you going to sleep? I thought... you were going to ask me for a kiss."

Erdi opened his eyelids slightly, and Jingzhi could see a little light in his eyes.

He chuckled and said:

"Next time we kiss, if you're willing to lie down with me for a while, I'll be very satisfied."

Jingzhi was suddenly speechless, and she felt inexplicably warm in her heart.

Her body was still a little far away from him, but she stretched her neck and buried it in his neck, sniffing the medicinal fragrance on his body:

"Me too."

No matter whether he is Erdi or Afeng, as long as he is still himself, does not push her away, and does not leave her, she will be very satisfied.

Her thoughts were always scattered, and at this warm moment, her mind suddenly and inappropriately thought of the opera troupe, whose whereabouts were unknown. So she tightened Erdi's hand and said:

"I want to write a letter to the owner to let him know I'm safe and to ask about their situation. It's been so long and I haven't heard from them. I'm a little worried."

Erdi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:

"...Practice calligraphy with me tomorrow."

"……Why?"

He said, "I saw your signature on the deed."

Her name is already written like that, and she still wants to write a letter?

"...Tsk, just practice."

"Well, I've already bought the calligraphy copybook. You can start writing tomorrow morning."

Jingzhi suddenly pinched his neck lightly:

"Do you dislike me? I've already prepared the post, just waiting for today!"

He turned his head away from the bed and said calmly:

“…I’m sleepy.”

"...Humph, just learn it."

At this time, Jingzhi didn't know that the awkward Erdi was really a strict teacher who didn't give her any slack at all.
