Miss Jun took the big bowl of tea he handed her.

The pottery bowl was rough and the tea was muddy.

The tea in this street teahouse that serves to quench the thirst of passers-by is certainly not delicious.

But tea is originally used to quench thirst, and perhaps this is the original taste of tea.

Miss Jun picked up the drink and took a sip.

"My father thinks that we should show sincerity and make up for the past debt." Ning Yunzhao said with a calm expression.

Miss Jun smiled.

“My grandmother did the same,” she said.

"Although the debts of the past can never be repaid, as their children we still cannot bear to embarrass them too much," said Ning Yunzhao.

This also shows that he does not agree with his father's approach.

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled again.

“Me too,” she said, and then blinked. “But what we’re doing now seems to be embarrassing them a little.”

Just now, Master Ning got off the carriage. Ning Yunzhao, who was sitting in the carriage thinking about when to get off, suddenly noticed a stone hitting the window.

He turned around and saw a girl waving at him through the bamboo curtain at the street corner.

Miss Jun?

Ning Yunzhao was a little surprised. He got out of the car. The girl snorted at him, waved again, and turned into the alley.

Ning Yunzhao naturally understood what this meant. He was a little surprised and wanted to laugh. He looked at his father and old lady Fang who were laughing and arguing in front of Fang Shunde Building, and then looked around at the people who were standing on tiptoe and staring at the lively crowd over there. He winked at the driver and followed quietly along the corner of the wall.

Ning Yunzhao smiled when he thought of this.

It felt like sneaking away from class to play when the teacher wasn't paying attention.

Of course, he had never done such a thing.

"We can't talk properly there. The Jinyiwei will definitely be watching us. Let grandma and Uncle Ning accompany them." Miss Jun said, "Although it's simple here, we can talk comfortably."

As they were talking, a few peddlers stopped by.

"Old Wang, give me a cup of tea." They shouted loudly.

Old man Wang, who was making tea, responded and placed the tea bowls on the wooden rack. The peddlers stood outside, leaning against the wooden rack and drinking tea while chatting and laughing.

Of course they noticed that there were people sitting in the teahouse, and they also cast curious glances at them. The lowered bamboo mat obscured the figures of the two people inside, and they could only see that they were a young man and woman.

In this hot weather, only young men and women are interested in strolling on the streets.

The peddlers ignored him and continued drinking tea and chatting.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​this place?" Ning Yunzhao asked with a low laugh.

"Chengyu found it for me." Miss Jun said.

As for that little kid, Ning Yunzhao just smiled and said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, do you know what happened in the North?" Miss Jun asked.

Northland? Ning Yunzhao shook his head with a serious expression.

As expected, Deshengchang's news was the fastest, Miss Jun thought, and she told Ning Yunzhao everything about the Jin army's capture of Hejian Prefecture and the smallpox vaccination campaign in western Hebei.

Ning Yunzhao looked gloomy for a moment after hearing this.

"I'm afraid this is not going to be peaceful," he said.

"Duke Cheng should be fine in the North." Miss Jun said.

Ning Yunzhao shook his head.

"Since ancient times, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and nothing is absolute." He said, thinking for a while and finally smiled, "It's hard to say, but I believe that the heroes of the North will not allow the Jin people to wreak havoc."

Miss Jun also smiled and nodded.

"So, today's tea is a farewell?" Ning Yunzhao said again, pointing to the tea bowl in front of him.

Fang Chengyu was smart, and Ning Yunzhao was not stupid either, so they had guessed what he was planning. Miss Jun smiled and nodded.

"Then have a safe trip." Ning Yunzhao said, picking up the tea bowl.

Miss Jun raised her bowl with a smile, and they both drank it down in one gulp.

"What do you want from me?"

Putting down the tea bowl, Miss Jun suddenly asked.

She originally thought that Ning Yunzhao had made an appointment with her again the day after they just met, and that he had heard about what happened in the North and came to tell her, but Ning Yunzhao just said that he didn't know.

Then he must be looking for me for something else.

Ning Yunzhao raised his sleeves and rubbed his nose gently, as if he had drunk too fast just now and his mouth was a little choking.

I had originally thought of how to say it; those romantic moments, those admiration and longing, could be described like poetry or painting.

But in fact, sitting in front of this girl, he couldn't remember anything and didn't know what to say.

Logically speaking, since this is the second time, he should be more proficient.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at himself.

Miss Jun was a little puzzled by his smile.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

The girl in front of him had a calm expression and clear eyes, just like her.

When the Ning family had malicious intentions, she responded with malicious intentions, and when she responded with kindness, she immediately responded with kindness.

She can clearly distinguish between good and evil, is quiet and logical, and is very easy and enjoyable to talk to.

Ning Yunzhao stroked the tea bowl.

"I'm a little embarrassed to say this," he said, "but I still want to ask you the same question I asked you last time."

The same question you asked last time? When? Miss Jun looked at him in confusion.

"It's the one you rejected." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I still won't give up, and it's even harder for me to control myself."

Miss Jun looked at him, her expression confused for a moment, then she suddenly realized and smiled at Ning Yunzhao again.

"So, there is no such thing as help without reason in this world?" she said.

Originally, they were no longer engaged, but she admitted it when facing Lu Yunqi. It couldn't be as simple as helping someone in need.

"That's not hurtful." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "It makes me feel relieved that there is no such thing as free help in the world."

Helping without reason is voluntary and unrewarding, while helping without any reason feels a bit forced and exchanged.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Mr. Ning is a good man," she said.

Ning Yunzhao smiled and shook his head.

"You're not a good person either. As everyone says, we ignored you at first, but now we're pestering you. This is rude at first and respectful later," he said.

"It's human nature to be rude at first and respectful later." Miss Jun said, and then laughed, "I think it's better than me being like this and you guys still being indifferent and making things difficult for me."

Ning Yunzhao laughed out loud.

He knew this girl was interesting.

"Although it may seem a little shameless, I am sincere." He stopped smiling and looked at her and said, "I really like Jun Jiuling."

It’s not Jun Zhenzhen, not Jiulingtang, not the miracle doctor, but the person Jun Jiuling.

"Caring for and helping the people I like is what I should and must do." He added, "This is not a forced exchange, but a sincere act. If you want to express gratitude, I should be the one to thank you. It is very rare to have the opportunity to help the people you like and do something for them. Some people will never have this opportunity in their entire lives."

Miss Jun smiled again.

"I really have no experience with this sort of thing," she said.

Whether you like her or not, as a county lord or a princess, she doesn't need to care at all.

"And I don't want to do it anymore." She continued, looking at Ning Yunzhao.

She said this the first time.

She said she didn't want to, and that it was inappropriate.

Ning Yunzhao looked at the girl in front of him. Her expression was indifferent and her eyes were calm. She did not show the slightest bit of excitement, joy, panic or disgust when facing the opposite sex.

To put it bluntly, her reaction at this moment was like a pool of stagnant water.

This is not the reaction a teenage girl should have.

She said she didn't want to. Last time he thought she meant she didn't want to discuss this with him and their Ning family, but now he suddenly realized that when she said she didn't want to, she just meant she didn't want to.

She doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to know who likes her and who she likes, and doesn't want to grow old with her lover.

She was clearly a young girl about to bloom, but she seemed to have withered and grown old.

There is no help without reason in this world, just as there is no stagnant heart without reason in this world.

"Nine years old." He sat up straight and looked at her. "What do you want?"

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Yes," she said, "but I can't tell you."
