Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 267 The King’s Man

The living facilities in the villa area are extremely complete.

Just when Jingzhi thought they were going to drive out to the city center to shop, Zhu Jiu took her to the shopping mall in the center of the villa area.

This place looks very high-end and the shopping guides are very tactful.

As soon as he heard the purpose of the two people's visit, he took them directly to the shelf that sold surveillance cameras and alarms, picked out a few suitable items for them to refer to, and then left.

Good environment, good service, and of course the price is very good.

Looking at the zeros on the price tag, Jingzhi became withdrawn.

“Will it be too expensive?”

Jingzhi was looking through the surveillance footage and whispered in Zhu Jiu's ear, "Why don't we go to the city center and take a look?"

They can't be too loud, otherwise the shopping guide watching them not far away will hear it, which would be so embarrassing.

Zhu Jiu's cochlea itched. He took the monitor from her hand and put it in the shopping cart. He calmly said to the salesperson:

"Two of each."

Jingzhi understood instantly. While the salesperson was getting the goods from the warehouse, she quickly said to Zhu Jiu:

"I don't need to pretend. They have no grudge against me."

Zhu Jiu smiled at her and said, "Since you rented my place, I should ensure your safety."

"Regardless of whether they have a grudge against you or not, these things do need to be installed, even if it's just to protect the safety of my personal property."

Safety of personal property?

That’s right, she is the poorest person in his villa.

Since he said so, what else can she say?

Jingzhi curled her hair and said a little embarrassedly:

"Your accommodation here is so good. How about... you raise the rent for me, or I'll feel guilty."

Zhu Jiu answered the question irrelevantly: "Do you know Chinese medicine?"

Jingzhi nodded: "I understand a little bit."

This time she was truly being modest.

Although her medical skills have not reached the level of perfection of an old Chinese medicine practitioner, they are more than enough to become a master.

Zhu Jiu was actually very conflicted.

My heart calls out to approach her, to be close to her.

But in her mind she was saying to him, "She's still thinking about her dead ex-boyfriend, Zhu Jiu, don't be silly."

At this moment, he stood in the aisle, lost in thought.

Jingzhi was a little confused.

Weren't we talking about rent? Why are you suddenly asking about Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Could it be...that he is sick?

His left wrist, which was holding the handle of the cart, was suddenly twisted away by her slightly cold fingers.

Zhu Jiu subconsciously pulled his hand back.

Halfway through the withdrawal, Jingzhi pulled him over forcefully without question, placed his arm sideways upwards on the handle of the cart, and immediately took his pulse with three fingers.

Before Zhu Jiu could even finish the sentence "What are you doing?", he immediately pulled his hand back and raised his palm to stop her.

"No need to take my pulse, I'm not sick."

His pulse must have been beating very fast at this time.

If he told her the number, she would laugh at him.

Zhu Jiu pushed the cart forward at a fast pace, glancing over the items on the shelves as if he was shopping in a supermarket. In fact, his right hand had already covered the pulse point of his left hand.

Jingzhi followed him closely, stretched her neck, tilted her head, and looked at his face with a keen sense of observation and inquiry.

Zhu Jiu couldn't help but glance at her sideways, and finally asked the belated question "What are you doing?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" She frowned.

Where does it hurt?

Feel uncomfortable.

But how could I tell her?

Zhu Jiu originally wanted to find a reason to get close to her, but when he thought of her ex-boyfriend, he felt a lump in his heart. Even if he had many thoughts in his mind, he gave up.

Zhu Jiu: "It's okay, I was just asking casually. Don't take it to heart. It's good to know Chinese medicine."

"Just keep the rent the same. I don't need your little money."

Good, rich!

I didn't expect that Jiu could be so generous.

Jingzhi: "...Oh, if you feel uncomfortable, you can call me. I'm next door, at least closer than that doctor Wang."

“…………” Zhu Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the things in the shopping cart, then quickly walked to another shelf.

Jingzhi: What does he mean?

Why don’t you answer? Are you not going to look for her anymore?

Don't trust her?

Do you really trust Dr. Wang more?

Is Dr. Wang a man or a woman?

If he is a man, could it be that Zhu Jiu was turned gay by Lao Wang in advance?

Now Zhu Jiu is the king’s man???

Jingzhi sighed in regret, countless guesses popping up in her mind in every second.

Good job, Old Wang!

Jingzhi, who was lost in thought, no longer walked side by side with him, but followed him one step behind, her mouth pouting almost reaching the sky. Looking at the back of his round head, she suddenly wanted to give him a headbutt.

Zhu Jiu picked a smart lock and walked towards the cashier.

"It's too late today. Please send someone to install it early tomorrow morning. The addresses are ** and **."

Zhu Jiu took out his bank card to pay while explaining to the staff.

The person behind him had been following him all the way, but suddenly fell silent. He looked back with some confusion.

Who would have thought that he would come back so suddenly after paying the money.

Jingzhi didn't have time to change his expression, and the look of "you unfaithful man" directly caught Zhu Jiu's eyes.

he wondered.

She froze two meters away.

The hand that was wrapped around her chest dropped down awkwardly, but it was only a second before it was raised again to scratch her face. "...Why are you looking at me? I've already returned the card to you."

After the cashier recorded the address, he packed the items and put them back into the shopping cart. He then handed the card over with both hands and said to Zhu Jiu with a smile:

"Please keep it. Your work order has been submitted. The technician will come to install it for you at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

Zhu Jiu: Why does she suddenly have this expression?

He took the card, pushed the shopping cart out of the checkout counter, and stood in the aisle waiting for her.

"come over."

If she just goes over there when you ask her to, she will lose face.

Jingzhi walked out slowly. As soon as she reached him, she immediately bent down, picked up half of the things in the shopping cart, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.

Zhu Jiu: Was she angry because he didn’t answer that question?

Looking at her fur about to stand on end, for some reason he suddenly thought of the little white cat he held in his arms that night.

"……Ah."

She is so cute even when she is angry in human form, and she must be very cute when the cat's fur stands up.

Jingzhi, who was walking in front, moved his ears slightly. Was he still laughing?

She was so angry, and he was still laughing?

She decided that she would be angry with him all night long!

When they came, the two of them were like friends and would chat occasionally.

On the way back, Jingzhi wished he had more legs to swing back.

Zhu Jiu looked at the person in front of him who was walking faster and faster, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

He didn't know why he didn't answer that question just now.

Maybe it was because he felt that finding reasons to get close to her was not a pure intention, or maybe he wanted to give up the idea.

In short, she seemed to have a bad impression of him now.

fair enough.

A short pain is worse than a long one. If it doesn’t start, it won’t be too painful, right?

Zhu Jiu did not quicken his pace to catch up with her, but fell far behind her, his light brown eyes unconsciously staring at the white at the end of the road.

The little white dot stopped.

"Zhu Jiu, hurry up, I want to go back and see Doudou as soon as possible!"

She...seemed to have stopped using honorifics with him.

Zhu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

Is it because I was angry and forgot to use it, or is it because of something else?

Zhu Jiu suddenly laughed again.

This time he was laughing at himself. People were going back to see Doudou, so why was he so excited?

And since when did his emotions fluctuate so easily because of a simple word from her?

Zhu Jiu quickened his pace, and when he was close enough to see the expression on her face, he slowed down.

Jingzhi slowed down his pace and walked.

Damn, she's soft-hearted again.

I was angry for no more than three minutes before I could no longer bear to leave him alone.

But Zhu Jiu did not catch up and always stayed a few steps behind her.

Jingzhi: She just left on her own, so he's angry? That's really petty of him.

Zhu Jiu: ...It's okay to walk behind her, as long as she is still within his sight.

They walked in silence all the way back to the villa, each with their own thoughts.

Doudou woke up as expected, and Shaoshao was feeding her water. For some reason, Axiang was standing in the corner of the room with his face covered and a look of grievance on his face.

Jingzhi hesitated for a moment: "What happened to him?"

Shao Shao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. "My soul was unstable just now, so I went out to eat some scented oil and candles. When I came back, I saw him touching my sister!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiu, who was following behind Jing, immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at A Xiang, "What did I tell you before I left?"

"Go outside and kneel down!"

A Xiang wanted to explain, but seeing his second uncle's face was as black as a coal ball, he closed his mouth and walked out with his neck shrunk.

Jingzhi did not comment on this. Axiang was a bit of a smooth talker, and if he was not disciplined well, he would easily become like Mr. Shi.

She sat next to Doudou and touched her forehead.

"Has Doctor Wang been here?"

Shao Shao nodded, "You guys were gone for too long. He left right after drawing blood and said he would call the Taoist priest to let him know the results tomorrow after the test."

"That's good."

Jingzhi looked at Doudou with pity. She had just seen her sister's ghost today and was already very sad, and now she had to endure such a thing.

"you……"

Jingzhi wanted to say something but stopped herself. Suddenly she remembered that she was also living under someone else's roof, so she turned to look at Zhu Jiu.

But her gaze met Zhu Jiu's as he was looking at her.

He quickly averted his gaze, pretending it was just a coincidence, and said seriously with his hands behind his back:

"Doudou, don't go back. Stay here with me..."

Just when he was halfway through his words, he thought of the brat kneeling outside and changed the subject. Zhu Jiu looked at Jingzhi:

"Can she stay with you for a few days? It's not appropriate for her to stay here. Once we get her sister's body back, she won't have to worry about them anymore."

Shao Shao pinched the quilt under her body a little embarrassedly, "Um... Thank you, Taoist priest, it's hard for you to worry about my physical chastity."

Zhu Jiu shook his head. "It has nothing to do with chastity. I'm afraid they'll cast a spell on your body, which will affect your soul. So, I must get your body back."

"……Oh."

Jingzhi stood up and said, "No problem, it's your territory anyway."

She lifted the quilt, put one hand through Doudou's knees, held her armpit with the other, and picked up the petite Doudou.

Doudou had never been hugged like this before. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Jingzhi's neck. The anesthetic made her neck a little weak. Her head rested softly on Jingzhi's chest, and her face blushed silently.

"Sister Jingzhi, you are so strong."

"Oh, you're too thin. Look, I've made you stronger these days."

"Why do girls need to be so strong?"

"Women should also have their own strength. You don't have to use it in daily life, but you must have it. Otherwise, what will you do if others bully you?"

"Haha, Sister Jingzhi, you touched my armpit, it's so itchy~"

"Oh, then I'll move."

……

"Crack." The corner of the table was comminuted.

Shao Shao looked at the desk whose corner had been broken off by Zhu Jiu, shrank his neck and chuckled awkwardly.

"Hey, the quality of this table isn't that great."

"I, I...I'll just go live next door. Don't worry, I'll go into the jar by myself at night and won't disturb them."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Jiu to react, she ran out, got the jar, and floated down from the balcony, landing at the door of Villa No. 1 waiting for them.

Zhu Jiu let go of the wood chips in his hand, walked slowly to the balcony, and looked at the two people and one ghost who came out of his villa, talking and laughing, with an unreadable expression on their faces.

Her bright smile under the streetlight seemed more relaxed and unrestrained than when she faced him. Is this her true self?

He covered his heart and asked himself, I have decided to give up, why am I so angry?

……

Jingzhi carried Doudou directly to her bedroom bed.

"You sleep with me tonight. This bed is very big, more than enough for the two of us."

"Auntie Huang is off work today. Ask her to clean up another room for you tomorrow."

Doudou twisted her fingers, "I, I can do anything."

Isn’t Doudou a lively girl?

Why do I become so shy when facing her?

Jingzhi walked to the closet, took out a new set of pajamas and towels and placed them on the bedside, then half-knelt down and said to her:

"Take some time for yourself. Wash up when you have enough strength. There's brand new toothpaste and toothbrush in the bathroom cabinet. Take them yourself later."

Doudou: She is like her older sister, always preparing everything for her so carefully.

Doudou's eyes were reddened silently, but she couldn't do that because it was too embarrassing to cry about such a thing.

She quickly turned her face towards the wall and asked, "Where is my sister?"

Jingzhi stood up and walked to the closet to get her pajamas. "I asked her to bring my things over for me. I have a big battle to fight tonight. I'm going to take a shower first."

Doudou suddenly realized, "I also have homework to correct, but not as much as you do. I can help you correct it!"

Jingzhi stuck her head out of the bathroom and said, "No need. You're already like this, just take a good rest, dear."
