"I'm just being a loose tongue, please don't take offense," Ji Chenhai said, without blaming Ji Fengming at all.
The skinny man could only force a dry laugh when he heard this.
Thanks to the "friendly" concessions from both sides, although the guesthouse rooms were somewhat scarce, the room allocation process was quite pleasant.
Night falls early in early spring, and it got dark not long after the two parties checked in.
Ji Fengming ate nothing but steamed buns for days, then insisted that Ji Fengyao make hot pot for everyone.
Ji Fengyao herself was also craving it, so she readily agreed. She had the three maids prepare the ingredients for the hot pot, while she prepared the seasonings herself.
Taking advantage of this time, Ji Chenhai pulled Shang Xiye to play chess.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao watched from the sidelines.
Having barely caught his breath, Ji Fengming felt bored and poked Hei Xiao with his finger: "Believe it or not, they will definitely send someone to monitor us."
"Trust," Black Owl said calmly.
"I also sent people to monitor them," Shang Xiye replied without even lifting his eyelids.
Ji Fengming: "..."
It's so boring being around you smart people!
"Why don't you go and take a look too?" Black Owl guessed his thoughts.
Ji Fengming immediately beamed with joy: "That's exactly what I was thinking! I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he got up and ran out.
Once on the roof, we had only reached the distance between the two guest rooms;
As expected, Ji Fengming ran head-on into the scarred man.
The two stood in the dim starlight of the night, and they knew each other's purpose as soon as they met.
The scarred man was immediately embarrassed. He gripped the hilt of his knife, ready to fight.
Ji Fengming stiffly clapped his hands and laughed, "Big brother, you've come to see the stars too? The night view is really nice tonight!"
The scarred man paused slightly, then answered dryly, "...Uh, hehe, yes, yes," but his hand gripping the knife handle did not loosen.
"Come, come, sit here." Ji Fengming plopped down on the roof ridge first, took out two jugs of wine from beside him, and handed a small jar to the scarred man: "Let's drink and enjoy the night view at the same time, wouldn't that be great?"
Scarred man: "???"
I don't think I saw him take a drink just now?
At this moment, Ji Fengming had already broken the seal on the wine jar.
A rich aroma of wine wafted in the wind.
There's no one who doesn't enjoy a drink or two when they're out in the world.
Moreover, Ji Fengming's wine is specially brewed and purified; even the imperial wines from the palace might not be as mellow and fragrant.
The aroma made the scarred man's mouth water instantly, and he silently swallowed.
Perhaps it was too dark at night, and I didn't notice it just now?
The scarred man found a suitable excuse, took the wine from Ji Fengming's hand and eagerly took two gulps. He felt a hot, spicy sensation burn from his throat to his stomach, and the chill in his body was instantly dispelled. His tongue was sweet, and his nostrils were filled with the rich aroma of wine. How refreshing!
"Good wine!" The scarred man couldn't help but exclaim loudly, his goodwill towards Ji Fengming instantly soaring. He even changed his way of addressing him: "Brother, where did you buy this wine? I've never tasted such fragrant and strong wine before, it's really invigorating!"
"Hey, my little brother just brewed this himself. If you like it, big brother, as long as you're with me, you can have as much as you want," Ji Fengming said casually, patting his chest with a very generous air.
Seeing Ji Fengming's江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air, the scarred man lost all his last bit of wariness. He intuitively felt that Ji Fengming, who seemed carefree and nonchalant at first glance, was actually a true man who didn't care about trivial matters, and even developed a bit of admiration for him.
