◎ "The one behind is better looking."◎
"Why aren't you sleeping? Are you unable to sleep?"
"I had a dream."
"Is it a bad dream?"
"I guess so."
"Don't be unhappy...I want to tell you a joke?"
Perhaps it was because the moonlight tonight was too peaceful, or perhaps it was because the identity of "Fei Yi" gave Pei Ji a temporary sense of security.
When he saw the note brought back by the owl, he actually continued the conversation with her.
Even...unconsciously confessing his inner troubles to her.
Pei Ji couldn't do such a thing, but Fei Yi could. And she would never know that the person she was communicating with was not her "sweetheart", but the cripple she hated during the day.
The owl flew over again and landed on the windowsill. Its round orange eyes were so cute.
An Jiu grabbed a handful of fried rice from the fruit box on the table and handed it to the hardworking messenger.
The owl tilted its head to look at her, then looked at the fried rice in her palm, remaining indifferent.
"Why don't you eat?"
An Jiu thought about it and remembered that the owl was not an ordinary bird. It was a carnivorous bird and did not eat rice, fruit or the like.
An Jiu had no choice but to put down the fried rice, and carefully reached out to stroke the chubby little guy a few times, and then went to read the letter with satisfaction.
That’s right, chatting is just a side job, petting is the real thing!
I opened the letter and saw four words on it: "What a joke?"
An Jiu thought for a while, picked up the pen and started writing: "One day the little bear cut his nails, and then he became... Xiao Neng! Hahahaha, isn't it funny!"
Pei Ji received the letter. Before opening it, he was somewhat curious. However, when he saw the joke on the paper, he was speechless.
Is it possible that his ability to perceive emotions is so poor? Otherwise, why didn't he feel like laughing at all?
He went back six points: "..."
But the strange thing is that after reading this joke, the depression in his heart dissipated unconsciously, because he was completely speechless.
When An Jiu received the letter, she curled her lips, threw the paper aside, grabbed the owl and started petting it.
This owl was very well trained. No matter how she played with its feathers, it would not run away. At most it would gently peck her hands twice. It was very well-behaved.
Having had enough, An Jiu wrote a reply.
It seems that Pei Ji cannot understand the charm of new-age cold jokes.
“Shall I tell you another one?”
"No, go to bed early."
After receiving this classic ending line, An Jiu happily ended the online chat and focused on petting the owl.
After stroking the owl for a while, the little guy's fur was a little standout. She felt a little sleepy, so she let the owl go and went to bed.
After waking up early the next morning, they went downstairs to eat together. He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan had accepted a bounty mission in the past two days and planned to continue the mission after dinner.
"What mission did you accept?" An Jiu asked Lin Qingyan.
One is a time travel and the other is a rebirth, and now the plot development has changed.
In the book, the hero and heroine are still working with the Huashan Sect to capture Wu Sheng, and have no time to do any bounty missions. After finally resolving the Huashan Sect incident, they did not stay in Pinglan City for long, because it would probably not be long before the news of the emergence of the magic power would spread.
Lin Qingyan said, "Catch a notorious thief. It is said that he killed the entire family of a wealthy man in Pinglan City and stole countless amounts of money. The government failed to catch him, so they put up a bounty order."
He Ziqing took a bite of the steamed bun and said vaguely: "It is said that he is an expert with a knife. I must catch him."
An Jiu nodded: "Oh, I wish you success."
After a pause, she turned to look at Pei Ji again: "Pei Ji, what are you going to do today?"
The young man in white had beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He lifted his eyelids and his eyes curved slightly. "I'm going to the city's Chinese medicine clinic for free consultation. Where's Miss An?"
The eldest lady said that she had nothing to do and wanted to go with them.
When Lin Qingyan heard this, she immediately declined politely: "Miss An, that bandit was extremely cruel. You are an ordinary person, so for your own safety, you'd better stay in the inn."
He Ziqing also nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Otherwise, you and Brother Pei can go to the clinic! There is no danger in the clinic!"
Pei Ji: “…”
Have these two people ever considered his feelings?
Pei Ji squeezed the folding fan until it made a crackling sound, but when the girl looked at him with bright eyes, he still showed a warm smile: "If Miss An is willing."
Of course Anjiu agreed! Who wants to stay in an inn and grow mushrooms?
So the itinerary for the day was happily decided. He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan went on a mission to catch the murderer, while Pei Ji, An Jiu and Ah Qi went to the clinic together.
The clinic that Pei Ji wanted to go to was not far from the inn, so the three of them walked there. It would normally take only half a minute to get there, but because they brought Miss An with them, the time was greatly extended.
“I want to buy that!”
"And this one, Pei Ji, get in line! I'll go buy something else first!"
"Qi, carry my things for me, can you please be more conscious?"
The master and servant were ordered around by the eldest daughter. One moment she wanted to buy glutinous rice cakes, the next moment she wanted to buy candy figures, and the next moment she was unable to walk as she looked at a row of jewelry.
Pei Ji was arranged to line up in front of a stall, while Ah Qi was pulled away to carry bags for An Jiu. Pei Ji happened to be queuing in a rouge shop, and there were women in front and behind him. Seeing Pei Ji sitting alone in a wheelchair guarding his position, a group of young women kept looking at him secretly.
Although the young man in white has a hard time walking, his appearance is outstanding.
He was dressed in a white robe, as graceful as snow, with a handsome face and gentle eyes. At first glance, he was a noble young man from a wealthy family.
There are many martial artists in Pinglan City, and the culture is more open than in other places.
Soon, a woman smiled sweetly and started talking to Pei Ji: "Sir, are you here to buy rouge for your wife?"
Pei Ji frowned imperceptibly, with a faint smile on his lips as always: "No."
"Then it's for my sister at home?" The woman took the initiative to approach. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, with delicate makeup on her face, and a fragrant breeze blowing in her face. "Young master is so handsome, I wonder where you live and where you are from? Is you married?"
This woman was the daughter of a wealthy family in Pinglan City. She was also a well-known figure in the city. She had been married a few years ago, but she and her husband did not get along after marriage. They fought every three days and quarreled every two days, so they had no choice but to divorce.
After the divorce, the woman was taken back to her parents' home, and she began to indulge herself completely. She kept several handsome young men in her villa and lived a free and happy life.
Her parents doted on them and always let her do as she pleased, and the girl also believed in mutual consent, so nothing serious happened.
Today, it seems that she has obviously taken a liking to this man in a wheelchair.
However, before the woman could reach the young man in white, a girl in red suddenly jumped out and blocked Pei Ji's way. She stared at the woman angrily with a pair of bright big round eyes and raised eyebrows, and shouted: "What are you doing! This is my seat!"
The woman paused, her eyes moved, and she looked at the two of them for a moment, a look of understanding revealed in her expression.
She covered her lips and smiled, "Okay, okay, it's my sister who offended me. Since it's my sister's thing, I won't take it away."
The woman left tactfully, and An Jiu turned around angrily to meet the man's ink-black eyes.
The girl put her hands on her hips and said to him in disdain, "How come you can be cut in line even when you're trying to take a seat! I saw her from a distance, she wanted to queue up, luckily she came here in time. Next time you see someone like this, don't pay any attention to her, understand!"
Pei Ji slowly withdrew his fingers from the fan bone, his eyes fell on the girl's face for a while, and then he lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened and smiled faintly: "Okay."
The girl seemed to be afraid that what happened just now would happen again, so she didn't leave and stood beside Pei Ji and queued with him.
Soon the people in front finished their purchase, and An Jiu walked forward and looked at the rouge box on the stall.
She had already heard from the conversations of the people around her that the rouge made by this rouge shop had particularly beautiful colors and various scents, and was very popular among the women in the city.
The woman selling rouge was a middle-aged woman, about 30 or 40 years old. Seeing An Jiu hesitating, she took the initiative to pick out two boxes and handed them to her.
"Look at the girl's skin color, these two colors are suitable for her."
An Jiu has difficulty making decisions. She always buys only one of something because if she buys two, she will be troubled every day about which one to apply. She can be troubled for a long time and waste a lot of time.
She realized this "defect" of hers very early on, and from then on, she would only keep the best of everything around her and would never make two choices.
An Jiu asked: "Auntie, can I try it?"
The lady said: "Sure, go ahead and try it, it's put out there for everyone to try, once you've chosen one I'll get you a new one."
An Jiu came to the young man in white with two boxes of rouge.
Pei Ji looked at her strangely, only to see the girl reach into the rouge box, rub the red rouge inside with the tip of her little finger, and evenly apply it to her lips.
Then she bent down towards him, and a small pale face suddenly came in front of him.
"Pei Ji, do you think I look good with this rouge on?"
The girl had no makeup on her face, but her skin was excellent. It was obvious that she had been raised in luxury. Her complexion was fair and translucent, which made her lips look even smaller and more rosy, like a fresh and juicy cherry.
A pair of bright peach blossom eyes were crystal clear, reflecting the light of the sky, as if two shining little stars had fallen.
Pei Ji: “…”
He was silent for a while, and then he slowly said under the girl's staring eyes: "Isn't it... the same as usual?"
An Jiu: "???"
Where did this straight man come from! Can't you tell it's her even with lipstick on?
Pei Ji really couldn't tell the difference. He just felt that the girl's lips seemed to have become a little redder, but her lips were already very red...
An Jiu was irritated by the straight man's answer, so she suppressed her anger and applied the first color, then the second color.
The first color was a bright watermelon red, perhaps similar to her lip color, so it was understandable that he couldn't see it.
The second color is a puffy girly pink, which probably has oil added to it, giving it a shiny feel.
After applying it, she turned to look at Pei Ji, pouted her lips slightly, and showed it to him seriously: "What about this one? You can tell from this one, right?"
You can indeed see it.
The girl has full lips and a cute round bead on her upper lip, which is slightly pouting, making her look even cuter, softer and more tempting to pick.
The small red lips were covered with a layer of pink color that sparkled in the sun, and there was a faint fruity fragrance that drifted into the nose along with the sound of words.
When the woman came over just now, Pei Ji only felt that the smell of powder on her body was very choking. But the smell of the girl in front of him was unexpectedly fresh and pleasant.
The girl was still chattering: "Pei Ji, which of these two colors do you think looks good? I think they are both good, I can't choose..."
The pink lips opened and closed, and the soft, pale pink tip of the tongue could be vaguely seen between the lips and teeth, as tender as the tip of a newborn lotus bud.
The young man in white looked away for a moment, coughed lightly, and said in a slightly dry voice, "The last one."
"What?" The girl blinked, as if she didn't hear clearly.
"The one at the back is prettier." He tilted his head slightly, and his fair ears unconsciously turned red.
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +5, currently 5. ]
"Okay, then buy the latter one!"
The girl went to check out with a happy look on her face, and seemed very happy because she had chosen a lipstick that she was satisfied with.
