Chapter 62
"Meow?" A cat's meow woke Zhou Li up.
Zhou Li blinked. "You want to join the Ranger Hall? Do you want to be a traitor?"
Tang Jing looked at Zhou Li's innocent face and couldn't help but chuckle: "I won't betray the organization."
"Oh." Zhou Li lowered her head and hugged the cat that was rubbing against her legs into her arms again. This cat was quite clingy, even though it was the first time they met.
The cat felt smooth to the touch. Zhou Li stroked it from head to tail. The white cat's tail swayed gently and it purred comfortably from its throat.
Zhou Li's lips curled up when he heard Tang Jing say, "I want to join your troupe."
"You?" Zhou Li said with contempt: "What can you do?"
"Singing, reciting, acting, or playing some musical instrument?"
It’s not that Zhou Li looks down on Tang Jing.
The people in their troupe train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, so not everyone can join them.
Just like the people Zhou Li brought into Beijing this time, they were all carefully selected. They were first opera masters and then members of the Youxia Hall.
Zhou Li will not ruin his own reputation.
Tang Jing said: "I can sing and play."
Zhou Li's eyes were full of disbelief. How come she didn't know that the heroine had such skills?
Tang Jing didn't pretend to be nice to Zhou Li. She sang a piece of Beijing drum music and knocked on the table with her hands to imitate the drum sounds.
After singing, Tang Jing felt a little shy, "I haven't sung for a long time, so my skills are not so good anymore."
Zhou Li scratched the cat's chin and said with a nonchalant expression, "It's just so-so." In fact, he was extremely surprised. Tang Jing's singing was a little awkward, but the drum beats were all right. These folk arts had something in common. It would be okay for her to be the drummer, but...
Zhou Li narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you want to do now?" She was obviously here to help Tang Jing, but why was she restricted by Tang Jing in every way and had to follow whatever Tang Jing wanted?
Tang Jing coughed and said, "Nothing."
"Hmm?" Zhou Li looked at Tang Jing suspiciously. Tang Jing smiled at Zhou Li, and Zhou Li was a little dazed.
The cat on Zhou Li's knees suddenly meowed and jumped off his knees. Zhou Li came to his senses, narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "Honey trap?"
Tang Jing smiled innocently: "Am I a beauty?"
Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and the spirit of her whole face was absorbed by them. Her eyes were extremely dark, like a deep pool, but her expression was pure to death.
Zhou Li is most susceptible to this kind of behavior. She likes the type of people who appear pure on the surface but are actually cruel and ruthless. But is Tang Jing trying to seduce her?
Zhou Li's face was full of question marks, and Tang Jing saw through it at once. Tang Jing sat still and waved to the cat catching insects on the ground. The kitten cleverly jumped into her arms. Tang Jing held the cat in her arms, her eyes lingering on it, and said with a slight curl of her lips: "It's a honey trap."
Zhou Li's brain completely shut down. After a while, his face turned red and he stammered, "You, you, you..." What the hell! This happened all of a sudden!
Tang Jing raised her head. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, her eyebrows were delicate, and her originally plain face suddenly became lively. There was a hint of shyness between her eyebrows. She opened her red lips and said, "I like you."
Zhou Li: Huh? So sudden.
The person just froze on the spot.
Tang Jing patted the cat's butt, and the cat jumped onto the table. She walked over, took Zhou Li's hand and said, "Ever since the day you saved me, your image has always been in my mind."
Zhou Li stared at Tang Jing blankly, without any of his usual sweet talk.
Seeing that Zhou Li didn't refuse, Tang Jing continued, "Today is a beautiful day, why don't you spend the night together?"
Zhou Li could hardly believe her ears. What on earth had Tang Jing said? They hadn't reached this point, had they?
Looking at the person leaning towards her, Zhou Li reached out and covered Tang Jing's face. She said with disgust, "Stop it? Tell me! What is your purpose?" In fact, her heart was beating faster. After all, no one could stand someone suddenly throwing themselves into her arms in the middle of the night.
Tang Jing's face gradually calmed down. The corners of her mouth returned to their original position. She suddenly became indifferent. She grabbed Zhou Li's wrist and pulled her hand up. She said in a flat tone, "It turns out the class owner doesn't buy this."
Zhou Li's heart was warm and cold at the same time. She looked at the person who was playing the face-changing trick and frowned: "What important matter is there that requires you to sleep with me?"
She deliberately suppressed him with words, but Tang Jing remained unmoved. He simply said, "I heard that the Feihua troupe leader likes women, but it seems it's just a rumor."
He avoided the question again and Zhou Li gritted his teeth. It was really hard to hear the truth from this person.
Zhou Li waved her hand: "It's late, you should go back." She turned and left. There was a sound of breaking air behind her, and Tang Jing pushed her directly onto the table.
Zhou Li's waist was flexible, and she bent down directly and leaned against the table. The white cat was startled by their actions and jumped to the ground. Tang Jing pinched Zhou Li's waist and moved her face close to Zhou Li, so close that Zhou Li could see the butterfly shadow of her eyelashes fluttering.
Tang Jing exhaled: "I really want to spend a good night with the class owner, not to mention anything else, it's just that good times are lonely."
There is something wrong with Tang Jing, something very wrong.
Zhou Li could feel the heat around her waist. Tang Jing's hand was like a branding iron, burning Zhou Li's body and mind. Her mind was confused and she couldn't tell reality from illusion, but her intuition told her that she couldn't touch Tang Jing at this time, even if she came to her on her own initiative.
Zhou Li twisted around to avoid Tang Jing's grip, then threw the man and the cat out. "Who do you think I am?!" An angry voice mixed with the sound of a door slamming shut.
Facing the bleak moonlight, Tang Jing hugged the cat and stood there for a while, watching the candle in Zhou Li's room go out alone. She lowered her head and said to the cat, "Look at you, a cruel person."
The cat meowed as if in answer.
Tang Jing walked away slowly.
Inside the room, Zhou Li was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, gritting her teeth in anger. She felt that she should have slapped Tang Jing hard in the face and asked her if it hurt.
Is her bed open to anyone, no matter how good or bad it is? Zhou Li waved her fist and turned over again, feeling indignant. She felt that Tang Jing underestimated her. Even if she used the beauty trick, she would not let her join the troupe. Thinking about it, Zhou Li fell asleep.
I slept until noon, and Dapeng couldn't help but knock on the door, and I woke up.
Zhou Li was knocked on the door and sat up with a look of pain on his face. He replied weakly, "I'll come when you wake up."
She knocked her head, still feeling drowsy and even about to pass out. However, she had an appointment to report to the Prince's Mansion today. Thinking of this, Zhou Li grinned, thinking it was all Tang Jing's fault, as he made her feel listless.
After getting dressed and heading out, Dapeng had already bought breakfast. Seeing the owner looking listless, he asked curiously, "Everyone went to bed early yesterday, why are you still so sleepy? Did you go out to play while we were asleep?"
Zhou Li sighed, "I'd like to go out and play." She took a bite of her bun and said in a slurred voice, "It's not that there are uninvited guests."
Dapeng didn't hear clearly and exclaimed, "Ah!" Zhou Li turned around in surprise and saw the uninvited guest standing behind them, facing the morning sun, dazzling Zhou Li's eyes.
Zhou Li murmured: "Why did it appear again?"
Dapeng lowered his voice and whispered, "How did she find us? Is the class leader following us?"
Zhou Li snorted and turned his back. Tang Jing nodded at Dapeng.
Dapeng tactfully made way for Tang Jing, who came over to sit next to Zhou Li. Zhou Li finished chewing a bun before asking, "Don't you have anything to do all day?"
Tang Jing picked up the teapot on the table and poured water, then turned the tables and handed it to Zhou Li, saying, "There really hasn't been anything going on recently."
Zhou Li rolled his eyes, and Tang Jing said jokingly, "The class leader seems to be in good spirits."
Zhou Li wondered what she was up to.
He didn't respond and continued to eat the bun.
Tang Jing just watched her eat the buns, and there was a moment of silence between the two of them.
Zhou Li finished his meal and drank a cup of tea in one breath, then put it on the table with a thud. He asked in an unhappy tone, "What do you want to do by following me? If you tell me, I will let you follow me."
Tang Jing narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "I want to enter the old prince's mansion on his birthday."
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows: "You guys have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, why are you following me?"
Tang Jing just smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhou Li felt that there must be more to it than that, but Tang Jing didn't say anything.
She snorted coldly and said, "I don't welcome people with ulterior motives here."
"That can't be helped." Tang Jing sighed, "I still like the class owner very much."
"No, I don't need your love!" Zhou Li refused immediately.
Tang Jing sighed, "The boss is so heartless."
Zhou Li's cheeks puffed up, and he couldn't help but complain: "Is this the kind of relationship where we can talk casually?"
Tang Jing answered fluently: "The class owner saved my life, and he is like my second parent."
Zhou Li rolled his eyes and didn't want to bother with Tang Jing anymore, so he just got up and left. Dapeng had already prepared the carriage, and they were going to the City Lord's Mansion today.
Tang Jing didn't follow this time, but just looked at Zhou Li with complicated eyes.
To say that she liked Zhou Li, she did like him a little, but this liking was not much, it was more of exploitation.
Thinking of the message sent by her adoptive father, Tang Jing sighed. Her adoptive father had secretly formed an alliance with a high-ranking official of the northern government and asked her to become a spy and sneak into the official's home to monitor him.
Tang Jing was not lying either.
She just couldn't say it, she was about to be sent to the backyard of a high-ranking official as a gift.
Tang Jing hates men, but she was born to do this.
She once thought that if she had met Zhou Li when she was young, would she have followed Zhou Li to wander around the world, join the Rangers Hall together, punish evil and eliminate evil, without having to do these disgusting things.
Once you do something, you can never go back.
For gutter bugs like them, their final fate may be to die in some unknown corner.
Tang Jing wanted to leave a mark in Zhou Li's eyes, because she knew that if she died, if there was one person who would be sad, that person would be Zhou Li.
She is such a kind person.
Tang Jing stood up. The sun became dazzling. She looked directly into the sun but felt no pain.
The sun rises every day, but there are always corners that it cannot reach.
Tang Jing curled his lips, hoping that Zhou Li would not be scared when they met next time.
Meow, the white cat that Tang Jing had forgotten jumped onto the courtyard wall, wagging its tail and basking in the sun comfortably. Zhou Li lifted the car curtain and subconsciously looked towards the courtyard wall, only to see a shadow and a back walking in the opposite direction of her.
What's going on? Zhou Li shook his head, feeling that Tang Jing's back looked extremely lonely.
This is a female devil who kills without blinking an eye. It is not her turn to pity her.
