When we got back to the mansion, it was already past noon.
Because they were eating while walking on the street, when Jing Zhe couldn't eat anymore, Liu Jinghong ate what he had left. Unfortunately, she had bought too much, so she only ate a small portion of it.
So even at noon, neither of them had any intention of eating.
Moreover, you don't feel it while shopping, but you only feel tired and your legs hurt when you sit down at home.
After sitting in the front hall and drinking some water, the two decided to rest for a while and came out of the house.
Liu Jinghong walked towards her room, with Jing Zhe following slowly behind.
Because Jing Zhe's room was next to Liu Jinghong's room, Liu Jinghong didn't notice it at first.
But after they passed the fork in the road, when Jing Zhe should have turned left but instead followed her and turned right, Liu Jinghong immediately stopped.
"Ouch."
Jing Zhe had been following behind Liu Jinghong, gazing intently at her graceful curves, when Liu Jinghong suddenly braked, catching him off guard and causing him to crash into her.
Liu Jinghong hadn't expected that she would feel a sharp pain and lean forward.
"Fifth Sister, watch out!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe instinctively reached forward and grabbed Liu Jinghong from behind.
In this scoop, he caught two things that, although they felt nice to the touch and he had eaten them before, were things he shouldn't have picked up at this moment.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Jing Zhe explained somewhat awkwardly, "Fifth Sister, I didn't mean to! I was just afraid you'd fall, that's why I helped you..."
Liu Jinghong, panting heavily, said coldly, "Then can you move your hand away first?"
"oh…"
"..."
Liu Jinghong's face instantly turned red. She wanted to scold him, but then she thought better of it. There was no need to bring it up again. After all, they had done things that were even more embarrassing than this.
So there's no need to expose him.
And no one, not even a fool, would believe such a lie as being afraid she would fall.
How could a fifth-level expert like her fall down?
Turning back to Jing Zhe and creating some distance between them, Liu Jinghong looked at him and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"Didn't Fifth Sister just say she was going to take a nap?"
Jing Zhe said very naturally.
Liu Jinghong was taken aback for a moment before raising an eyebrow: "I did say I'd take a nap, but—why are you following me?"
"Oh, I'm scared to sleep during the day. Fifth Sister, have you forgotten how you used to hold me and protect me when I was little?"
"..."
While Jing Zhe was speaking, Liu Jinghong kept staring at him, wanting to see just how thick-skinned he was to say such shameless things. But she underestimated Jing Zhe; he wasn't even blushing.
Jing Zhe's thinking was simple: Isn't today all about reminiscing? I'm doing this to reminisce too! Back then, sleeping together under the same blanket, how wonderful!
Liu Jinghong calmed herself down and gritted her teeth, saying, "We used to bathe together when we were little... What, you want to do it again now?"
When Jing Zhe was only two or three years old, Liu Jinghong and her two younger sisters, who were not much older than him, shamelessly bathed with him. Zhu Xinning, Qingqiu, and Pei Yunxi, who were a little older than them, would not do such a thing.
To everyone's surprise, Jing Zhe's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately said:
"OK!"
"..."
Liu Jinghong knew it was pointless to talk to him now, so she pointed to the side and said, "Go back to sleep!"
Because of their shopping trip, Jing Zhe roughly guessed that Liu Jinghong had resolved her inner conflict, so he became much bolder and directly reached out to pull Liu Jinghong into his arms.
Liu Jinghong initially resisted a couple of times, but when she realized she couldn't resist, she finally gave up and let him hold her.
Jing Zhe rested his chin on Liu Jinghong's head and said softly, "Fifth Sister, now that you've accepted me, what's wrong with sleeping together?"
"Who...who said they accepted you?"
"I can feel it, here—"
Liu Jinghong raised her head and said coldly, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"This...really not—um, where is Fifth Sister's heart?"
"roll!"
Liu Jinghong let out a low growl and made a move to kick someone. Seeing this, Jing Zhe quickly ran away.
"coward!"
Liu Jinghong watched Jing Zhe's retreating figure, shook her head, and then laughed.
Why didn't you hold on a little longer?
Liu Jinghong was truly finding Jing Zhe's shameless behavior unbearable. Perhaps if he stayed any longer, her defenses would be completely breached...
...
I spent too long shopping this morning, so I slept very soundly.
When Jing Zhe opened his eyes, it was already evening.
Stepping out the door, I saw the setting sun casting its pale glow across the western sky, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere in the courtyard.
After sleeping all afternoon, Jing Zhe stretched and felt refreshed and relaxed.
He was secretly delighted, because he had a feeling that something good and big would happen tonight. He had slept a long sleep and had been well-rested. He was now strong enough to handle any big battle that night!
So they went outside.
Perhaps it was Liu Jinghong's advance warning that Wang De and the others knew that Jing Zhe would be leaving Liangzhou the day after tomorrow, so as dusk approached, they all came over carrying wine jars.
He said he was planning to have another good drink with Jing Zhe.
However, Jing Zhe wasn't really happy about it; drinking makes him impotent!
These guys are up to no good!
Jing Zhe cursed inwardly, trying to come up with a reason to refuse them, but before he could speak, Liu Jinghong stepped forward first.
"You should go back; he can't drink tonight."
Liu Jinghong said.
Whether it was Wang De, or Wang Fujun and the other two of Jing Zhe's new disciples, although they had only known Jing Zhe for a short time, their admiration for him was as boundless as a surging river…
Seeing that they were about to part ways with Jing Zhe, they naturally wanted to have one last drink to express their respect. After all, Jing Zhe had to leave early the day after tomorrow, so they couldn't drink with him again. This was the only night they had left.
So he asked in confusion, "Why, General?"
Wang De also said, "General, didn't you always teach us that a good man should drink?"
Liu Jinghong glared at him and said coldly, "You guys can drink, but he can't. Because I'm going to be with him tonight..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his guess was correct; Fifth Sister had also developed feelings for him!
But how could she dare to say it out loud?
While Jing Zhe was still wondering, he heard Liu Jinghong slowly say, "Going to the night market? How can you go if you've had too much to drink?"
"..."
