Qing Ye'er smiled bitterly. She didn't expect Xia Xiao to be so immodest. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was neither teasing nor flattering. Instead, it was as if he was determined to win, as if he knew that she would tell him the answer.
"I will answer a question for you, young master. Can you answer a question for me?"
"What good is it to answer you? I paid for your answer."
Xia Xiao looked at Qing Ye'er, wanting to see how she would resolve the situation. He was sure that Qing Ye'er had the answer she wanted.
"Master, if you can answer it, I don't want the money. I'll just consider it as making a friend."
"Okay, then before I answer, should you first tell me the most mysterious place in Yu Valley?"
"No, you have to answer my question first."
Qing Yeer imitated Xia Xiao's expression, with a frown on her face. Xia Xiao did not refuse, and let her ask first.
"Why did you come to a brothel with your status as a young master?"
"A brothel is not a lowly place. Common men come here to play with women, and elegant men come here to enjoy singing and dancing. I am neither common nor elegant, and I come here to chat with you. Is there any problem? As for my identity, you don't need to pretend. You can't guess my identity."
Xia Xiao's words were very good. Ah Zhu silently picked up a bowl of white rice, picked up the pig ears mixed with red oil, and wolfed them down. This way of eating was really too ugly, which made Xia Xiao speak angrily without waiting for Qing Ye'er to answer.
"Isn't there still one bowl? No one's going to snatch it from you!"
“I’m hungry!”
Ah Zhu said as he picked up a piece of white-cut chicken, which was slightly salty and perfect for eating with rice. In this place where the women were alluring and the aroma of wine was strong, only Ah Zhu, who was simple-minded, would hold a bowl of white rice and stuff the dishes on the table into his mouth one after another.
Compared to Xia Xiao's blame, Qing Ye'er was much gentler.
"This sister must be starving. It's okay. Just eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to give you more!"
"Thank you, sister!"
Ah Zhu snorted at Xia Xiao, causing the latter to secretly shake his head. It would be fine if Ah Zhu was taken out without eating, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she lost all her girlishness.
"Anything else?"
"Why did you come to me? I'm just a prostitute."
"Don't belittle yourself. In this age where entertainment is paramount, if you ask civil officials and military commanders, how many common people know? Most of them only know the emperor's name, but everyone in Yugu knows about you."
"Master, you are praising me. I am just a lowly person and I dare not praise myself so highly."
"We are both lonely people in this world. You are worried about living, and I am doing my best for revenge. Why don't we help each other?"
"Revenge for whom?"
"she."
"But the one with the female character?"
Xia Xiao nodded, without picking up his chopsticks, but poured a glass of wine and poured it on the ground. Qing Ye'er's eyes were bright, and she understood the general situation after seeing it, and did not mention it again.
"I wonder if I have met your requirements?"
Qing Ye'er said so many irrelevant words, of course, she didn't really want to ask Xia Xiao questions, but to see if she met the conditions for her to answer her questions. To Qing Ye'er, money and this meal were not important, just small matters. But if she said something wrong and brought disaster, it would be a big deal!
Xia Xiao's answer was not particularly outstanding, not as good as Qing Ye'er thought, but she could see an inexplicable persistence in Xia Xiao's eyes, and she didn't know what he was being stubborn about.
“Yes.”
"Then tell me."
"In the west of Yu Valley, there is a tower that no one has ever entered."
"Such an obviously mysterious place?"
"Master is so smart that he should know that mystery does not lie in hiding, but in being unfathomable."
"That makes sense."
Xia Xiao picked up the chopsticks and picked up a peanut. The chef added salt carelessly, making it extremely salty. Was he afraid that he would finish the plate of peanuts?
After drinking a glass of wine, Xia Xiao wanted to get up and leave, but Ah Zhu was still eating, and she still had a bowl of rice. Xia Xiao winked at her many times, but Ah Zhu's eyes were only on the dishes.
Xia Xiao had no choice but to continue drinking. There was no alcohol in the academy, so he had to steal it from the cafeteria. Now that he had tasted some good alcohol, Xia Xiao couldn't help but drink greedily. Qing Ye'er watched Xia Xiao pour the wine from a low cup and drink it down with a raised cup, becoming even more curious.
In the past, many men wanted to tell her all about their past, whether it was bitter and difficult, or majestic and funny, they wanted her to know, so as to leave a deep impression. But Xia Xiao said little, which made Qing Yeer feel frustrated, as if her beauty and charm had diminished. And since Xia Xiao didn't secretly look at her, it was really an insult to her!
Qing Ye'er didn't believe in men's love. She had seen too many men who looked honest but were actually frequent visitors to Liuxianju. Their women might be waiting at home with their children, but they were living a life of debauchery here. In the end, the women also cheated on their husbands, but ended up with a ** end.
She deliberately loosened her shawl, which fell to the ground, revealing Qing Ye'er's icy skin and extremely attractive collarbone. Ah Zhu's eyes were dazzled by the extremely white skin, and then he looked at Xia Xiao, and he also looked at Qing Ye'er, and then said to himself unhappily:
"Eat quickly and leave after eating!"
Xia Xiao looked at Qing Ye'er again, and raised the wine glass in his hand with one hand. His action was like toasting to a brother, which made Qing Ye'er feel uncomfortable. What did this mean? She had a top-notch woman's figure, but a man's face? She thought she was not as beautiful as a fairy, but she was also a beauty that could topple a country, but Xia Xiao treated her like this. He also ate peanuts, so how could he be so drunk?
By the time Ah Zhu had eaten his fill, Xia Xiao had also drunk enough. If he drank any more, he would be drunk. He knew his own alcohol tolerance and did not become arrogant because of the alcohol.
It was dark when they came, and it was even darker when they left. Xia Xiao's steps were a little unsteady, and Ah Zhu wanted to support him, but he shook Ah Zhu's hand away again and again. Finally, Ah Zhu got angry and stood aside, not caring about him shaking like this.
The noise around, the woman's delicate panting and the man's excited rough voice disgusted Xia Xiao. Although he also wanted to indulge once and be vulgar a few times, he only had Shu Shuang in his heart. Without her, he couldn't be vulgar or elegant!
Xia Xiao staggered out of the red corridor and the door. Azhu beside him kept yelling at him, saying that Xia Xiao didn't know how to count. He had said before that he was careless, but in front of Qing Ye'er, he even told her about his revenge.
Watching the two people leaving, the old procuress walked upstairs to Qing Ye'er.
"I can't get any news about him."
"It doesn't matter."
"Do you know him?"
"I consider him an old friend."
"When did it happen?"
The madam had known Qing Ye'er for a long time. She knew the latter's background, but when did he have such an old friend? Qing Ye'er should not have accompanied the guests today. Although it was just a casual chat, it made her mood depressed. This unknown guest was more than just mysterious.
"Just now, we hit it off right away."
"Is this the reason why we didn't charge any money but still provided a table of free food and drinks?"
The two bowls of white rice on the table were the most eye-catching. The old procuress glanced at them and when she turned back, there was a hint of coldness in her voice.
"I don't even have the right to treat people to a meal?"
"That's not the case."
Although Qing Ye'er cannot make complete decisions, everyone has to give her face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
“Upset.”
"Why?"
Qing Yeer stopped talking. She didn't know why she was upset, but she really saw the man she loved today. She felt that the young master was not just here to cheat for a meal. Just like the old mother said, he was very confident, so confident that he was like a person who had been to the mountain and was telling others about what he saw on the mountain. He was very logical, and although his words were a little scattered, it was hard to doubt him.
