Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 203 Brother Lin... This is for you

Lin Jiu, who was described as cold-blooded and ruthless by his two disciples, had already walked out of the back door and went behind the window of Jingzhi's room.

He held her sword in his hand and hesitated whether to knock on the window.

After standing there for a long time, he just raised his hand and the window opened from the inside.

Jingzhi, whose nose was still slightly red, leaned sideways and said awkwardly:

"What are you doing here? Do you want to laugh at me?"

She spoke louder and louder: "I just like to cry, so what?"

Lin Jiu secretly looked at her expression, and seeing that she was very emotional, he swallowed back the words that were about to tell her not to cry.

"Your knife." He said dryly, raised his sword and handed it in.

Jingzhi snatched it away unhappily, "Okay, you can go now."

If he wasn't here to apologize, why did he sneak behind her house?

She placed the knife on the table in front of the window and tried to close the window with both hands, but Lin Jiu held her back with both hands.

He looked at her awkwardly, pursed his lips and said, "Um...I'll pick you up tonight."

"Are you apologizing?"

"..."

The two grown men competed with each other, and Lin Jiu didn't think he had done anything wrong.

He came here just to check on her condition, and for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.

Jingzhi also knows this truth.

She just... suddenly missed Lin Jiu, who was extremely gentle to her in her previous life.

She sighed, sat down by the window somewhat dejectedly, and said lightly:

"Just kidding, I don't need you to apologize."

After calming down a bit, she looked at Lin Jiu who was standing blankly behind the window and said in a casual tone:

"I'm not a girl, you don't need to pick me up. I'll come find you when it's time for dinner."

At this moment, Lin Jiu felt that something was obviously wrong with her mood.

But he had never had the conversation before and didn't know what was wrong, so he didn't know what to say except "OK".

The window was closed, and the branches above his head swayed gently in the wind. The flickering sunlight poured into his eyes, revealing the confusion in his eyes from time to time.

what happened to him?

Based on his previous behavior, he would never make this trip.

But why did he feel so upset when he saw her crying?

Besides, how do you coax someone with a childish temper?

Lin Jiu had never coaxed anyone in his life. He rubbed his head and slowly walked back.

……

Although she asked him not to come to pick her up, Lin Jiu still came.

He didn't know why, but it was his inner demon that drove him.

The Taoist always follows his heart. He will come wherever he wants.

Jingzhi spent an afternoon relieving those unnecessary emotions and was not so angry with him anymore.

She used her own fur to transform into a silver-white men's robe, and tied a four-finger-wide belt of the same color around her waist.

Her white hair stood up high, and the crown was only held in place by her sword-shaped white jade hairpin.

Standing tall with a paper fan open, Lin Jiu was right. She looked so charming and elegant.

As soon as he stepped out of the yard with his long legs, Lin Jiu, who was standing at the door waiting for someone, immediately came to greet him.

He handed over the thing in his hand, "Brother Lin...this is for you."

A string of lanterns hung from the trees by the river, and the warm red light reflected on the string of candied haws in his hand. The light red transparent sugar coating was slightly shining, which was quite tempting.

She sneered, "Why, Brother Lin, do you think I'm really a child?"

Brother Lin, if she calls you Brother Lin, will you not be angry anymore?

But she didn't seem to like this thing. Was he wrong?

Lin Jiu slowly lowered his hand and said awkwardly, "I... just wanted to make you happy. If you don't want it, forget it. Just pretend I didn't..."

Before Lin Jiu could finish his words, he saw her opening her palms towards him.

"Give it to me. Who said I don't want it?"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Jiu raised his hand again and gently placed the wooden stick in her palm, mumbling the apology he had been brewing for the entire afternoon.

"I, I was wrong this afternoon, you..."

"It's not your fault. It's really me who is being hypocritical."

Jingzhi interrupted him, she smiled self-deprecatingly, held the candied haws in her hand, and gently took a bite of the sugar coating on the top hawthorn.

"It's very sweet." The sugar coating was crispy, and some fine sugar particles stuck to her plump lips. She subconsciously stretched out her rosy tongue and rolled them into her mouth to eat.

Lin Jiu took only one look and immediately turned his face away, placing his fingers behind his back and gently scratching the flesh on the palm of his hand.

His face was inexplicably hot. "Let's go. The auspicious time is coming. I'll take you to see the excitement."

Suddenly, a candied haws string with one missing appeared in front of him. "Do you want some?"

"No, thanks." Lin Jiu took a quick step, avoided the candied haws, moved one body length away from her, and walked in front of her.

The scene just now inexplicably stayed in his mind, and Lin Jiu didn't want to see the candied haws now.

Jingzhi: What? He is really weird in this life.

But he still knew to buy some things to appease her, so she was hopeless.

Eating something sweet will really make you feel better.

She took a bite of a hawthorn in a good mood, chewing it with a crunching sound, and slurping her saliva from time to time, because the hawthorn tasted sour.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes and complained: "Oh, this one is so sour~"

"Heh..." Listening to her mumbling, Lin Jiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a low laugh from the bottom of his throat.

He sees her as a child... well, a childlike heart.

"Laugh at me? Eat it!"

"What?!" He had just been standing at her door waiting for a long time. He had nothing to do and counted them. There were seven or eight in that bunch. She finished them in less than two minutes?

Jingzhi took a quick step and handed the string back to him, "Hawthorn is sour, I've finished the candy."

Lin Jiu looked at her, then looked at the string of hawthorns left in his hand, and was suddenly speechless.

This kid, is he picky about food even with this thing?

No wonder he is so thin.

She squeezed her hands and said honestly, "I'm afraid it will get sour. I'll give you the rest."

As she spoke, she smiled at him and said, "I forgive you."

Lin Jiu's eyebrows relaxed, and he said silently in his heart: I haven't apologized yet...

And he doesn't like to eat this thing either.

Lin Jiu had never walked around in front of his fellow villagers holding a string of candied haws.

He asked Xiao Hai to buy this thing secretly.

At this moment, he always felt that everyone was looking at him, and there was an inexplicable smile in their eyes.

He hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask her to eat it, but as soon as he turned around, she passed him like a gust of wind and rushed to the street stall full of colorful shuttlecocks.

"Abao, are you guys open for business?"

Xiao Hai came out with a bunch of firecrackers and said with a smile, "Not yet. Aren't we waiting for you to set off the firecrackers together?"

He turned back to Po and said, "Brother, come and light the fire. It's an auspicious time."

"Here they come." A Bao blew out the fire stick and walked out. Jingzhi was inexplicably excited when he saw someone setting off firecrackers.

It feels like Chinese New Year.

She pulled Lin Jiu's arm, who was standing in the middle of the street, and backed away. "Back off, back off. Be careful of the explosion."

Lin Jiu looked down at the hand on his arm, thinking that he couldn't disturb her interest, so he crossed his arms and let her hold his arm without struggling to break free.

We're brothers, so what if I give you a hand?

“Crack!”

When the firecrackers sounded, Jingzhi let go of his arm and covered her ears, her eyes curved with a smile, and the light in her eyes was very bright.

It seems that she also likes to be lively.

Lin Jiu stretched out his sleeves that had been wrinkled by her, and his mood improved. However, the temperature of the place where she had grabbed it became colder, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

While the firecrackers were still going off, Ah Hai pulled the red silk above the stall.

"Bao Ji Boat Porridge is open today!"

"Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!"

After the firecrackers at his stall finished sounding, a longer string of firecrackers suddenly rang out from the opposite side.

Jingzhi looked up and saw a restaurant with four entrances. A waiter grabbed a rope and pulled it down, and a larger piece of red silk fell off.

"Ho Kee Boat Porridge! Beware of counterfeits, this is the only one of its kind."

Boat porridge?

He Ji???

Is this the Boss He that Lin Jiu mentioned before?

Does Lin Jiu know about this?

Or was he also deceived?

The three people except Lin Jiu were all dumbfounded.

At this moment, Lin Jiu suddenly turned back and said to A Bao: "Since you have come through, do it well. Business requires patience."

Looking at Abao with his head down, Jingzhi moved his lips and persuaded him: "Well, your stall is beautiful, there will definitely be people coming to eat there."

A Bao's dim eyes suddenly lit up, "Then... I'll give each of you a bowl?"

Jingzhi turned to look at Lin Jiu, and Lin Jiu pulled her a step outside.

He straightened his neck and said, "No, I've reserved a seat across the street."

Lin Jiu put the candied haws in his hand on his cart and said, "Please bring it back for me when you go back."

After saying that, he pulled Jingzhi's sleeve and led her, who was hesitant to speak, into the shop across the street.

"Um...Brother Lin, isn't this too bad for Po?"
