On the flowing riverbed, the kiss was soft and quiet. It was a simple kiss. Ning Yi was slightly stunned. The eyelashes of the woman in front of him trembled. After a while, she hugged the blanket and took a step back. She blushed and lowered her head, but then she looked up again.
"Yunzhu … Yunzhu doesn't have anything else to do. I can only play a few tunes and sing a few songs. Other than that … other than that, that's all I can do …"
She smiled seriously and then lowered her head again.
"When I heard about what happened to you, Liheng, I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do. But you didn't come over. I'm really happy to see that you're fine today … But I also know that no matter how open-minded Liheng is, you'll definitely be a little unhappy. If … uh …"
"What you're doing is very risky …"
Ning Yi sighed slightly and then reached out to touch her left cheek. Nie Yunzhu's neck subconsciously shrank, and her eyes turned slightly helplessly. After a while, she tilted her head timidly and leaned her cheek against the palm, feeling the gentle caress of the palm. Ning Yi also tilted his head slightly, and after a while, he smiled with some mixed feelings.
"Ah, these few days, it's really been quite annoying at home …"
"A bunch of people are chattering and quarreling. The Su family's group of people accidentally got into a fight, and their resentment is about to reach the sky …"
"En, ah, it seems that I'm quite pitiful …"
"I messed up the business …"
"I made a fool of myself …"
"I was made a fool of, and everyone looked at me like I was a fool …"
"Haha, this can be considered …" After a long time, Ning Yi seemed to find it interesting and shook his head. "Ah …"
Nie Yunzhu hugged the blanket as she stood there. Her face was pressed against the other person's palm, feeling the heat from his palm. She did not dare to raise her head, but at this moment, she felt a little strange. She looked up and saw that the figure was approaching. In the blink of an eye, her lips were sealed again.
"Ugh …" She took a step back, and her back was directly pressed against the wooden wall. In the sunlight, Ning Yi's figure pressed against her. They were almost separated by the thin blanket, but he didn't hate it. One of his hands moved along her back and hugged her waist. There were rustling leaves in front of her, and the sunlight shone through the leaves. At this moment, she also felt dizzy.
When she woke up a little, her body was almost lying on the balcony. Her back was against the wall, so she did not completely fall. Ning Yi squatted beside her and hugged her. Their lips that were touching each other slightly moved away. He looked at her, and there was still a smile on his face. That smile was a little strange, but also a little relieved. However, Nie Yunzhu naturally couldn't think about this at this moment. Their bodies were almost pressed together, and their chests were moving up and down. It seemed that with every beat of their hearts, that feeling would become clearer. Ning Yi's left hand was on the side of her chest, almost touching the skin between her chest and ribs. Her lips moved, trying to calm herself down a little, but naturally, she failed.
When she impulsively kissed him earlier, she tried to consider the consequences of doing so, but she didn't think that some things would happen so quickly. She had never experienced such things before, but since he liked it like this, then so be it …
"Yunzhu's body has never been touched by other men before, but … if Liheng wants it, I would like it …"
Her face was red, and her words were as soft as a mosquito, but they were close at hand, so Ning Yi naturally heard her clearly. He just looked at Nie Yunzhu's expression, and the smile on his face didn't change. At this moment, a soft voice sounded from the side of the balcony. Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu turned their heads.
The person who appeared at the door of the balcony was impressively Yuan Jin 'er in a green dress. Perhaps she had just returned home and heard the sound from the balcony, so she excitedly ran over to find Nie Yunzhu. At this moment, she had only taken two steps over the doorstep when she was stunned. At this moment, her right index finger was gently biting her mouth. This was probably her expression when she came in just now. She still had a smile on her face, but now she was stunned there. The three of them looked at each other, and Yuan Jin 'er maintained the action of biting her finger. Her eyes rolled around, and her face alternated between red and white. Then, she suddenly turned around and wanted to run away.
She ran in the wrong direction, and turned around again. Then, she tripped over the doorstep and fell to the ground with a thud. As a girl, from the sound of it, it sounded like a terrible fall. Even the corner of Ning Yi's eye twitched. Moreover, she had been biting her finger as she fell. Her feet were still on the other side of the threshold. One of her embroidered shoes fell off, but she didn't pay attention to it. She continued to run, rolling and crawling.
On the other side, the atmosphere between Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu was no longer as tense as before. Nie Yunzhu's eyes darted back and forth between Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu. When he saw Ning Yi looking over, he immediately lowered his head and looked down, then turned to the empty space on the left. When Ning Yi let go of her, she was still hugging the blanket, leaning against the wall with her legs curled up.
"I, I … I'm going to check on Jin 'er …"
She said softly, glanced at Ning Yi, and then got up and chased after her.
"Ha …"
Ning Yi was still smiling. He sat down on the spot with his back to the wall. He raised his head and looked at the sunlight through the rustling leaves. He looked at the zither not far away, and the smile on his face deepened. It was a happy smile, as if he had obtained something …
Of course, he knew the reason for the change in Nie Yunzhu's mood today, and he was happy about it just now. In this world, there would always be people who sincerely cared for you. Whether you needed it or not, it was always a happy thing. There was no need for him to hide everything from Nie Yunzhu. It was just that they hadn't talked about this earlier, so there was no need for him to tell her everything that had happened in the past few days. He didn't expect her to go this far.
Now, it was easy … but also troublesome.
In the hall, Nie Yunzhu seemed to have caught up with Yuan Jin 'er, and there were faint sounds of quarreling. Yuan Jin' er seemed to be very sad, and she was crying. Of course, he had to see to know if it was true, but the sounds sounded similar.
"Sister Yunzhu, how could you do this …"
"In broad daylight, the two of you were on the balcony, wanting, wanting …"
"Let's take a step back, the two of you were on the balcony, I didn't say anything outside, and no one on the river saw … But even if you wanted to do this, you shouldn't … shouldn't have taken my blanket …"
"Ning Liheng is a big pervert!"
Yuan Jin 'er shouted, and she kicked hard on the wall. The wooden wall. She had lived here for a long time, and she accurately grasped Ning Yi's position. The vibration of the kick passed over, and Ning Yi seemed to be hit hard on his back. He slightly moved away from the wooden wall, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. His laughter became louder and louder, and then he couldn't help but hit the balcony with his fist several times.
Yuan Jin 'er was full of anger, and Ning Yi was shameless. Among them, perhaps only Nie Yunzhu was stuck in the middle, and the most embarrassed and embarrassed. After a while, she walked to the balcony, and her figure in a white dress was timid, and her fingers were almost white in front of her body. Suddenly, from the image of a fairy who played the piano and sang, she became a little wife who was scolded by her mother-in-law because she didn't know how to cook after descending to the human world. Ning Yi looked at her and smiled, and then patted the place beside him. Nie Yunzhu came over, and sat down with her legs bent a little embarrassedly. She pulled the corner of her dress, covering her ankles and socks.
"Uh, what we said just now, does it still count?"
Ning Yi shook her hand and asked with a smile. With Yuan Jin 'er's interference, there was probably no atmosphere left for anything else. However, some things that needed to be confessed at this time still had to be confessed, and some relationships that needed to be clarified could no longer be avoided at this time. Of course, with such words as the beginning, Nie Yunzhu suddenly became slightly shy, "Jin 'er, Jin' er is at home …"
Ning Yi laughed again. In the golden powder, the two figures on the balcony were talking. Nie Yunzhu was sometimes shy, sometimes serious, sometimes surprised, but in the end, the two hands that were held together did not let go …
*****
When they came out of the small building and set foot on the road back, it was already afternoon. Ning Yi thought about what happened before, the confession, and sighed slightly, "The evil old society …" If he and Nie Yunzhu had such a situation more than a year ago, maybe he would choose to find another place to live with her. But now in the Su mansion, not only did he have Su Tan'er, but also Xiaochan. As for Nie Yunzhu, she never thought of making things difficult for him. Perhaps that was what made him feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, thinking about it in this way, it was like a man taking advantage of her and then showing off his cleverness …
When he passed by Elder Qin's mansion, he was about to go in and sit down. When he saw Lu Agui standing outside the door, he knew that Kang Xian was also here today.
When he entered the house, the siblings of the Zhou family also followed him. Seeing Ning Yi, little Junwu ran over and asked, "Teacher, my sister and I went to see you in the morning. Where did you go?"
"Uh, I had something to do in the morning …" Ning Yi patted his head. On the other side, Kang Xian had just finished a game of chess with Elder Qin. At this time, he chatted with Ning Yi for a while and invited him to play chess. Zhou Junwu moved a small stool and sat down. Zhou Pei followed him silently and occasionally looked at Ning Yi's expression. At this time, Ning Yi was chatting with Old Qin and Kang Xian. He had something on his mind and frowned as he placed his chess piece. After a while, Kang Xian said, "In a few days, the city gates will open. These two children's apprenticeship ceremony should also be arranged. What do you think?"
Ning Yi looked at Zhou Junwu and then looked at Zhou Pei. He smiled and said, "You still want me to teach them? Won't you be very disappointed in me? "
"Winning and losing are common things in war. Grandpa Fuma said that this is not what teacher is best at. So even if I lose, it is because they are too despicable. I still like things like binoculars …"
Zhou Pei was silent for a moment, "I will learn the way of calculation from you, not business …"
"How about it?" Kang Xian laughed. Elder Qin pulled little Junwu's hand, "Two good children."
"In that case, of course I will teach them. But let's not do the ceremony for the time being. It is a bit public."
Kang Xian thought for a moment and put down a chess piece. They chatted for a while and then he asked, "Something on your mind recently?"
"Yes." Ning Yi picked up a chess piece and nodded.
"In fact, I have been waiting for you to come and ask for help these days. Unfortunately, you never came …"
Ning Yi looked at him, "Oh, Elder Kang is very righteous …" He never thought about this and laughed. Kang Xian was a bit serious.
"Those who achieve great things may not be proficient in everything. I know your temperament. You don't want to owe favors easily, so I didn't intervene before. But at this level, it's something that can be resolved with a little effort. What's so difficult about asking? Given the friendship between us, could it be that you feel that you can't even owe me a favor like this? "
After he said this, Ning Yi looked around and became slightly serious. After a moment, he nodded, "Okay …"
In the big city of Jiangning, this may be just a small corner for idle people to gather. A stone thrown into the pond, stirring up a small wave, and then calming down in the wind and rain. Not long after, the city gate opened. Li Pin left Jiangning to go to Tokyo to seek an official position. Before leaving, she comforted Ning Yi about the Wu Family. Yushan Academy resumed classes. Some children gave up the lessons taught by Ning Yi. Su Zhongkan also seemed to want to make some small movements in the school to let some teachers talk about him and exclude him. But with Ning Yi's always happy style, this matter did not have any effect for the time being.
Everything was developing in the direction that everyone expected. The Wu Family obtained the imperial business and was preparing for it. Su Tan'er tried to stabilize the situation of the Su Family, but it seemed that she was slipping helplessly. She had invested a large amount of money into the market that was originally targeted at the Wu Family. In the eyes of the public, it was probably a hysterical preparation of a woman who wanted to destroy the market by selling goods at a low price. Of course, it had not been carried out yet, so there would not be many people who wanted to defeat her.
Externally, with Su Tan'er's efforts, there was only a slight decline. The others were probably waiting for Su Tan'er to really step down or for everything to be settled before considering whether to give up on the Su Family. Even if the Su Family still had a medium-sized scale in the future, there would always be some people who would give up on the Su Family. As for within the Su Family, Su Tan'er faced more and more pressure. Su Boyong had not died yet, so she could still hold on for the time being. But it was hard to say for how long. Some of the cousins who had been close to the first branch now began to move closer to the second and third branches.
In the outside world, people were enthusiastically talking about the vicious methods of the Wu Family this time. They were enthusiastically talking about the song "Drinking Wine and Pei Di." They were enthusiastically talking about Ning Liheng's embarrassment and the current silence and dejection. Of course, most of what they talked about was the future structure of the cloth company and the expansion of the Wu Family. Because there was no movement for another month, the situation of the cloth company in Jiangning seemed to be changing rapidly and brewing. People had almost forgotten about Ning Liheng. When no one understood or felt that it was necessary to understand his recent movements, some things finally began to appear like nightmares.
It was at the end of September. It had been just a month since the annual gathering of the cloth company after the Mid-Autumn Festival. During this month, everything had been so clear. But one day, without any warning to the outside world, it began to become strange.
If it were a thousand years later, it would be like a stock that had steadily reached its peak. When everyone thought that it would definitely continue to rise, it would suddenly fall and collapse without any warning. In fact, no one even knew what the reason was. And when people gradually understood in the end, they could finally see the darkness contained in those things, as well as the figure that had enveloped everyone from the beginning …
