101 Drunk
◎Yaoyao, marry me◎
Shu Yao opened the ointment, scooped out a little and gently applied it on his back.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard. After applying the medicine, Ji Shijing went to the closet to look for clothes with his upper body naked.
Shu Yao looked at his increasingly upright figure and his increasingly distinct muscles. She lowered her eyes, pursed her dry lips, and her thoughts were in a mess.
…
The New Year is coming to an end and Guihua Lane is starting to get lively. Firecrackers have been set off since the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and have continued to be set off on New Year's Day. Occasionally, a few children run past the door, leaving behind one or two burnt firecrackers.
Neighbors began to visit each other and give each other New Year's gifts. Ji Shijing wrote a few couplets and gave them to the servant, asking him to give them as return gifts from others.
There were few people in the house, but it was bustling. Mrs. Chen got up early in the morning and started working. After burning a few incense sticks to worship the gods, she began to deal with the New Year's goods she had bought.
Zizhu worked with her in the kitchen.
The servant cleaned every corner of the house.
Shu Yao sat in front of the mirror, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and sighed. She had actually been here for a year. The time passed so quickly.
Seeing her in a daze, Ji Shijing moved closer, put his arm around her shoulders from behind, and looked at her in the mirror: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?" As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed her neck, feeling hot.
Shu Yao's heart began to tremble.
"It's New Year's again," she said.
Ji Shijing smiled and looked at her fair face in the mirror. He always felt that something was missing, so he said, "Sister-in-law, can I draw your eyebrows for you?" After that, he asked her to sit astride his legs, and he put his arms around her in an extremely ambiguous posture.
Shu Yao sat between his legs and always felt weird. She wanted to get off, but the more she struggled, the heavier his breathing became.
Ji Shijing held her waist, his breathing a little unstable: "Sister-in-law, don't move."
She also felt the changes happening under him, and she immediately sat down obediently, her little face flushed red, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Ji Shijing buried his head in her hair and took a few deep breaths. When he raised his head again, there was still an indelible emotion in his eyes. He opened his makeup box, picked up a stick of stone ink and slowly traced her eyebrows.
The two of them were so close that Shu Yao could clearly see the fuzz on his face. She stared into his eyes, which were bottomless, but she just wanted to find out.
Ji Shijing paused while painting his eyebrows, met her gaze, his Adam's apple rolling, and gently kissed her lips, her eyes, her ears. Her body was filled with his scent, as if to drown her heart.
His enthusiasm was hard to resist. Shu Yao's back was leaning against the dressing table. She was forced to look up and felt a warmth on her chest. An indescribable feeling spread throughout her limbs. Her toes curled up and she felt a little uncomfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Shijing pulled her up from the dressing table. He buried his head in her chest and pressed her waist, keeping her pressed tightly against him.
"Yaoyao, marry me, okay?"
"OK?"
He asked again and again like a persistent child, just wanting to hear her answer.
Shu Yao's mind instantly became clear. In order to complete the task, she hugged him back and responded to him.
His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his burning desire almost burst out.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and endured this unbearable moment together.
The sound of firecrackers rang out outside the window at some point. Ji Shijing finally looked up, tears in his eyes.
Shu Yao looked down and then realized what was happening. She felt shy and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He chuckled, picked up the stone again and carefully traced it for her, his voice hoarse: "Yaoyao, did you just promise me?"
Shu Yao bit her lip and said nothing.
He leaned closer to her: "I know, Yaoyao agreed."
Shu Yao pretended to be angry and pushed him away.
Ji Shijing chuckled softly and continued to finish the rest of the makeup without saying anything. He seemed very satisfied with his work. He picked up the bronze mirror and handed it to Shu Yao: "Take a look."
Shu Yao didn't quite believe his skills, but when she took a look in the mirror, she was slightly surprised. Although it wasn't particularly good-looking, it wasn't terrible either. She half-jokingly asked, "Has Ah Jing done makeup for other girls before?"
"Your skills don't look like the first time."
When Ji Shijing heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone unconsciously took on a hint of joy: "Is Yaoyao jealous?"
ah?
Shu Yao could only laugh awkwardly and admire his train of thought.
It was around noon when the two of them left the house together.
Mrs. Chen and Zizhu had already prepared the reunion dinner, and Shu Yao took out the New Year gifts and handed them to them.
Mrs. Chen and Zizhu were both surprised, and then overjoyed. They quickly wiped the oil stains off their hands and took the gift box carefully wrapped by Shu Yao.
Especially Mrs. Chen, she had worked as a servant in a wealthy family for decades, and this was the first time that her master gave her a gift. How could she not be excited?
She opened the gift box, and inside was a jade bracelet with rich water quality.
Zizhu got a purple jade hairpin, which was crystal clear and obviously of top quality.
They carefully put away their gifts and kept expressing their gratitude.
Shu Yao didn't see the servant, so she asked.
As soon as he asked, the servant came over with a broom and bowed to Ji Shijing and Shu Yao.
Shu Yao handed over his gift.
The servant was stunned for a moment and asked blankly, "Is this for...for...for me?"
"Anshun, why are you still standing there? This is the New Year's gift from the master and Miss Shu. Why don't you thank the master quickly?" Mrs. Chen next to him reminded him.
The servant named Anshun finally reacted, quickly put down the broom in his hand, took the gift box with both hands, and pretended to kneel down.
Shu Yao stopped him: "See if you like it."
Anshun opened it with trembling hands. Inside was a long gown made of high-quality fabric. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The material was much better than the one he was wearing.
Ji Shijing's eyes darkened. When did she pick out clothes for Anshun?
Shu Yao gave each of them two taels of silver. New Year is a day for family reunion, so she gave them three days off.
The three of them thanked her profusely.
Mrs. Chen’s grandson was born some time ago. Now that she had some free time, she immediately packed up her things and rushed back to see her grandson during the New Year.
Zizhu and Anshun also happily packed up.
As soon as they left, Shu Yao and Ji Shijing were the only ones left in the mansion.
She looked at the table full of delicious food. The dishes made by Mrs. Chen and Zizhu were all her favorites. Shu Yao couldn't wait to eat.
Ji Shijing sat next to her, his aura very cold: "Yaoyao, when did you pick out clothes for Anshun?"
Shu Yao looked at his cold expression and wondered what she had done to offend him. "I bought it a few days ago when I went shopping for New Year's goods with Madam Wang next door."
After hearing her explanation, he was still unhappy.
Shu Yao couldn't understand his temper: "Ajing, I also bought you a New Year's gift. I'll give it to you later, okay?" She coaxed him like a child.
Ji Shijing hummed, then said, "Sister-in-law, can you please stop buying things for other people in the future?"
"Why?"
He put down his chopsticks and looked at her intently, his expression serious, his brows and eyes stained with a faint shadow. He reached out to wipe the rice grains from the corner of her lips and said word by word, "You are not allowed to buy things for other men."
Shu Yao was a little afraid of him like this, so she just responded with a few words and continued to eat with her head down.
Ji Shijing sighed softly and said nothing more.
After dinner, Shu Yao wanted to take a walk on the street, but there had been several heavy snowfalls in the past few days, and the streets were covered with thick snow. In addition, today was New Year's Eve, and everyone was celebrating the New Year at home, so there were not many people on the streets. She gave up the idea and planned to go for a stroll on the street during the Flower Festival in the first month of the lunar year.
In the afternoon, Shu Yaozheng and Ji Shijing were playing Gobang.
It was the first time that Ji Shijing had heard of this game. Shu Yao explained the rules to him. He looked at the small chess pieces on the chessboard and thought that Gobang was really simple.
In the first few games, he gave in to Shu Yao, and Shu Yao noticed it. She felt bored and asked him not to give in.
Ji Shijing propped his chin with one hand and said jokingly, "Are you sure?"
Shu Yao is confident in her chess skills. She remembers that she defeated all the opponents in the world in the past. She can easily win the game of Gobang.
Seeing that she was confident, Ji Shijing began to make the first move.
After that, Shu Yao didn't win for dozens of rounds in a row. She was completely stunned. The probability of winning was not even this high even when buying lottery tickets. She didn't win a single round in dozens of rounds. It was unbelievable that this happened to her.
She pushed the chessboard aside and started to act like a spoiled child: "I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore, it's boring."
Ji Shijing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Yaoyao needs to practice more at chess."
Shu Yao: "Humph, I'm just unlucky today. I will definitely beat you tomorrow."
Ji Shijing did not argue with her and quietly put away the chess pieces.
As the sky gradually darkened, the sound of firecrackers could be heard again in the alley. Awang from next door brought a jar of the best daughter's red wine. Shu Yao and Ji Shijing sat under the sycamore tree, each enjoying a glass of this fine wine that had been sealed for twenty years.
Shu Yao took a sip and found the wine sweet and fragrant: "This wine is really good." But the alcohol content is too strong.
After just two drinks, she felt dizzy. She looked at Ji Shijing in front of her with hazy eyes, thinking that he was the actor she was acting with. She mumbled, "Handsome guy... what's your name?"
As he spoke, he leaned closer to the other person and said, "Why are you so good-looking? You are more handsome than any male actor I have worked with." After saying that, he pinched Ji Shijing's chest muscles dishonestly, then frowned, "Hey, this figure is not good, no muscles, I've seen it before..." He suddenly burped while speaking.
Ji Shijing's eyes darkened and he asked her, "What else have you seen?"
Shu Yao laughed twice, moved around in his arms, and touched his abdominal muscles twice: "This is good, I like this."
Ji Shijing grabbed her rebellious hand and asked, "What else have you seen?"
Shu Yao was a little annoyed by the question: "What? I've seen many men taking off their clothes."
Ji Shijing squeezed her hand slightly, and the little volcano in his heart suddenly erupted. Good, very good: "Who are they?"
Shu Yao counted on her fingers seriously and suddenly said, "Twelve, I like his...hiccup."
"Oh." Ji Shijing's eyes flashed coldly, his face covered with gloom. He was really pissed off: "You like him?"
Without waiting for her answer, he picked her up and carried her back to the house, slamming the door shut.
Shu Yao was in a daze, and her skin began to turn red due to drunkenness, like a ripe peach, very tempting.
Ji Shijing's eyes grew darker and darker. He sat down beside the bed, tucked her messy hair behind her ears, and whispered in her ear, "It's okay. I'll make Yaoyao like me, too."
After saying that, he covered her with the quilt and looked at her cute sleeping face. He felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
He stood by the bed and looked at her for a long time, until the candle was almost burned out. Then he put on an outer coat and went out to make some sobering soup, otherwise she would wake up in the middle of the night and have a headache again.
