Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Jingran thought of the jar of wine that Jingshu had mentioned, and a clear understanding dawned on her.

"No wonder you also have Drunken Immortal Wine, so that's the reason."

"No." Jing Shu found it somewhat amusing; his master's acting was far too elaborate.

"It was something I won when my master and I came to Huacheng by chance and participated in a competition at Zuixianlou. At that time, Xue Niang and I didn't know each other yet."

"Oh, I see."

As they were talking, Jing Shu led Jing Ran to the courtyard where he and Jing You lived, while Xue Niang and Lin Yu Rou were still not back, seemingly doing something else.

There was a pavilion on the left side of the courtyard. Jing Shu placed the food box on the stone table and lit the candle in the pavilion.

The light wasn't very strong, but it was enough for the two of them.

It seems I'll have to go to Jin Yi Trading Company to buy a few luminous pearls later. Jing Shu pondered this in his mind, but that didn't stop him from taking out all the food from the food box.

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, blanched bok choy, cucumber salad, and chicken stew with mushrooms.

The journey wasn't delayed, and the food was still steaming.

Jing Ran raised an eyebrow slightly. There wasn't a single spicy dish. How did he know he didn't eat spicy food?

Jing Shu took out bowls, chopsticks, and wine bowls from the lunchbox, then took out a jar of Drunken Immortal Wine from his storage bag and poured some into both of their wine bowls.

“We all get drunk easily, let’s eat first,” Jing Shu suggested.

"Ah."

Jingran outwardly agreed, but the moment he sat down, he picked up the wine bowl.

First, I put it to my nose and smelled it. Sure enough, it's Drunken Immortal Wine!

Jingran took a sip; it was refreshing and mellow. Indeed, this wine was delicious!

"Jingran, let's eat some food first," Jing Shu said helplessly. Otherwise, if he gets drunk, he definitely won't want to eat.

"Okay, sure." Jing Ran wasn't embarrassed at all about being caught, but she still picked up a few bites of food.

After taking a bite, Jingran's eyes lit up, and without Jingshu saying anything, she obediently started eating.

The wine at Zuixianlou is exceptional, but its food is just as good.

Before long, the food was almost finished, and Jingran had drunk almost all the wine in the jar.

Apart from the less than half a bowl of wine that Jing Shu poured at the beginning, the rest all went into Jing Ran's stomach.

Jingran was already starting to lose her senses.

"Hmm... the wine is gone..." Jingran shook the empty wine jar and said listlessly.

"Jingran? Master?" Jing Shu asked tentatively.

After confirming that Jingran was truly drunk, Jingshu completely changed his story.

"Master? Who do you think I am?"

Jing Ran squinted, carefully examining Jing Shu's face, then exclaimed excitedly, "You...you are Jing Shu! It's Jing Shu!"

"Then, who is Jing Shu?"

Jing Shu looked at Jing Ran, who was already drunk, and felt somewhat helpless.

Even though Master is so drunk, he can still maintain the Transformation Technique.

"Jing Shu, who is he?..." Jing Ran repeated Jing Shu's words, but her brows furrowed slightly.

Jing Shu, who is he...? That name sounds so familiar, but who is he?

Jingran's head ached more and more as he thought about it, as if something was deliberately preventing him from remembering.

"Master?"

Ding--

Jing Shu's voice was like a key, unlocking the giant lock in Jing Ran's mind. At the same time, a snow-white sword suddenly lit up in Jing Ran's sea of ​​consciousness.

"I remembered!"

Jing Ran's sudden shout startled Jing Shu.

He had just noticed that Jingran's expression was off and was worried, so he asked her what was wrong. But as soon as he called out "Master," Jingran suddenly became excited again, showing no signs of discomfort at all.

Jingran excitedly grasped Jingshu's hand, "You are Jingshu! You are my apprentice, Jingshu!"

"Yes, yes. I am your disciple, Jing Shu." Jing Shu repeated Jing Ran's words affectionately.

"I built a small tower before, it was pretty! But it's too small, let's go back and build a big one!"

As she spoke, Jingran reached out and grabbed Jingshu's hand to lead him outside.

Jing Shu quickly pulled Jing Ran back, "Master, building towers isn't fun, let's play something else, okay?"

It would be too immoral to go back and tear down the wall around Xu Sheng's house. Besides, Master wants to build something big now, so he'll probably tear down more than just the wall.

"Ah..." Jing Ran's face was full of disappointment, and the light in her eyes dimmed. "But I wanted to play..."

Jing Shu felt as if he had been shot in the heart; he couldn't bear to see his master's expression like that.

Then, he heard himself speak.

"Master, let's not go that far. We can just pile it up here, okay?"

Jingran's eyes lit up instantly. "Great! These bricks look beautiful! The tower we build with them will definitely be even more beautiful!"

“Okay, I’ll help you dismantle it.” Jing Shu smiled and took Jing Ran’s hand, walking to the wall of the courtyard and placing his other hand on the wall.

Without making a sound, the once clean and beautiful wall was divided into bricks.

"As expected of my apprentice! Truly amazing!"

After praising Jing Shu, Jing Ran let go of Jing Shu's hand, picked up the bricks, and began to pile them up.

Jing Shu chuckled softly, then joined Jing Ran in building the tower...

What if they run out of bricks? Jing Shu knocked down the wall again.

With Jing Shu's help, Jing Ran used bricks to build a pyramid.

Jingran nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, absolutely perfect!"

After finishing piling up the items, Jingran felt a little sleepy, but he didn't want to go to sleep yet.

Jingran grasped the hem of Jingshu's clothes and gently swayed it twice.

"Jingshu, where are your ears and tail? I want to touch them..."

Jing Shu watched Jing Ran act coquettishly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

Then, Jing Shu sighed softly, gently wiped the dust off Jing Ran's face, and said earnestly.

“Master, for demons, the tail is an extremely sensitive part of the body. Only those demons like can touch it. Although I am not a demon, my tail is also very important to me.”

"Does Jing Shu dislike his teacher?" Jing Ran asked directly.

Jing Shu paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, his voice extremely soft, yet incredibly earnest.

"Of course I like it." It's not just the disciple's affection for his master, but also his affection for his lover.

"I also like Jingshu! Now I can touch him!"

Jing Shu was shocked to hear this. Although he knew that what a drunk person said was not to be taken seriously, and that his master's feelings for him were just affection for his disciple, Jing Shu was really happy!
