Liu Jinghong's thoughts were clear today: for the first time, she should stay in Liangzhou, since it was her second hometown.
If you really think about it, her feelings for Liangzhou might even surpass those for Jingzhou.
Jing Zhe's visit to Liangzhou this time may very well be his last.
Therefore, it is of great historical significance that it occurred in Liangzhou.
However, since Jing Zhe had been playing tricks, she naturally couldn't invite him again at this point—that would make her seem too proactive. That's why she pretended to run away, because she felt that Jing Zhe would definitely chase after her!
Then we'll half-heartedly agree...
To everyone's surprise, Jing Zhe didn't stop her at all!
I also said goodnight to her...
This infuriated Liu Jinghong, who stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly.
At this moment, Jing Zhe had already turned around and was preparing to walk in the opposite direction. He had noticed when Liu Jinghong turned around, but he pretended not to know and continued to walk forward.
Liu Jinghong became anxious.
This is her last chance this year. If she lets him leave like this, how much longer will she have to wait?
After arriving in Jingzhou, she had been waiting for dozens of days. These days felt like an eternity, as if all the time in the first half of her life combined was not as unbearable as these days.
If she misses this opportunity again, she doesn't know if she can hold on.
So, steeling his resolve, he immediately ran up.
Although his back was to Liu Jinghong, Jing Zhe had eyes in the back of his head and could see everything clearly. He could calculate Liu Jinghong's every move and even her current psychological changes.
So they kept walking, even quickening their pace.
Hehe, so you're getting anxious now, aren't you?
"Stop right there!"
It's infuriating enough that he left, but now Jing Zhe is even making a running motion. How much does he not want to be with me?
Enraged, Liu Jinghong shouted this and ran up to Jing Zhe, stopping him in his tracks.
"Huh~"
Jing Zhe feigned ignorance, looking puzzled: "What's wrong, Fifth Sister? Didn't you go back to rest? I was shopping all day and I'm really tired. I was just about to go back and get a good night's sleep!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe even pretended to yawn, covering his mouth, acting out the scene perfectly.
Liu Jinghong wasn't buying it at all: "Sleep? What sleep? Who told you to go to sleep?"
"Fifth Sister, you should sleep if you're tired."
"You? Sleepy? You slept all afternoon and you're still sleepy? Are you a pig?"
"Fifth Sister, you ate breakfast this morning, and I didn't see you skip dinner, did you? Who says that if you take a nap in the afternoon, you can't sleep at night?"
Jing Zhe spoke with conviction.
"Okay, go to sleep!"
Liu Jinghong glanced ahead, her eyes darting around, then crossed her arms and looked at him, saying...
"oh."
Liu Jinghong's reaction was somewhat unexpected for Jing Zhe, but now he was in a difficult situation and could only grit his teeth and keep going. After taking a few steps, he had to stop.
"Come on, go to sleep! I want to see how you sleep!"
It turned out that Jing Zhe's room was next to Liu Jinghong's room. If Jing Zhe wanted to go back to sleep, he could only follow Liu Jinghong. But just now, he turned around and went in the opposite direction. If he went any further, there would be a wall.
Liu Jinghong stopped teasing him because she saw this scene.
However, given Jing Zhe's thick skin, this was no big deal for him!
He slapped his forehead: "See? I told you I was too sleepy! I was so sleepy I couldn't even remember the way, I almost got lost!"
"Fifth Sister, excuse me!"
He turned around as he spoke, and Liu Jinghong glared at him, saying, "Stop pretending!"
As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly. Then, holding Jing Zhe's hand, she didn't dare look at him and said softly, with an attitude that brooked no argument, "Come to sleep with me!"
"..."
...
Upon arriving at the new house again, Jing Zhe's mood had changed somewhat.
Unlike a few days ago when he was eager to consummate his marriage with Liu Jinghong, he now knew that if he wanted to, it would happen tonight.
But for some reason, he didn't want to anymore.
Or rather, it's not that I don't want to, but that I don't want to be here.
A few days ago, he was unsure when he would return to Jingzhou, but now he has decided to set off the day after tomorrow. Jingzhou is the place where he and his fifth sister spent the most time together, and it is also the place that holds their memories and their initial feelings.
If it's going to happen anyway, why not choose that location?
After Liu Jinghong entered the room, she first lit the wedding candles.
Jing Zhe paid special attention and noticed that the two candles were new. The candles that had been lit last time had been removed. Perhaps Liu Jinghong herself felt that it was inappropriate to use something that had been used before, especially for such an important moment as tonight.
The candles were lit, emitting a faint red glow. The orange-red light spilled into the room, like a floral quilt, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
Liu Jinghong pulled Jing Zhe's hand and pressed him into a chair. Since they had already drunk the nuptial wine last time, and perhaps fearing that Jing Zhe might drink too much and cause trouble again, Liu Jinghong simply didn't prepare any strong liquor this time.
"Fifth Sister...wait..."
Before the atmosphere became too heated, Jing Zhe quickly spoke.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Fifth Sister, could we... not... today?"
Jing Zhe didn't know how to say it, so he just stretched out his hands and made a back-and-forth motion in the air. Liu Jinghong was puzzled at first, but after thinking about what he said, she instantly understood.
Liu Jinghong's face turned pale instantly.
"What...what did you say?"
Tears welled up in Liu Jinghong's eyes: "You...dislike me?"
What she couldn't understand was why he was so eager just a few days ago, but now that she had come to him, he was turning his back on her.
Jing Zhe quickly waved his hand: "Fifth Sister, it's not what you think. I was thinking—why not wait until we return to Jingzhou? That's our home. I feel that way we won't let you down!"
Upon hearing this reason, Liu Jinghong finally stopped crying and started smiling.
"But...I can't wait any longer!"
"..."
Liu Jinghong's boldness surprised Jing Zhe.
He asked curiously, "Fifth Sister, don't you care about the titles of the eldest and second eldest sister anymore?"
Liu Jinghong rolled her eyes at him: "What, just because I care, you'll give it to me?"
Seeing Jing Zhe's discomfiture, Liu Jinghong sighed, "I've thought it all through. You don't want to give up on them, just as you don't want to give up on me, and I've considered doing it too. It's just that I can't wait any longer, so tonight… it's going to be…"
"Fifth Sister, we're returning to Jingzhou the day after tomorrow. Actually, we could wait..."
"I can't wait any longer, things could go wrong!"
Liu Jinghong said firmly, "I underestimated you. Princess Mo Chen, Zhang Xiaoyu, Yu Xiangrong, and even Fourth Sister—if we wait any longer, just as you said, they might even become the tenth!"
"Forehead…"
Jing Zhe was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Fifth Sister, I've never mentioned them to you. How did you know?"
That night, Jing Zhe only told Liu Jinghong about the five women he had been with; he didn't mention the remaining few as reserves!
