The chirping of cicadas came from afar along with the sound of the wind. The room was a little quiet, and all she could hear was the sound of Ning Yi flipping through the pages of the manuscript. Occasionally, she could hear the ink being slowly rubbed against the inkstone, but she didn't hear the sound of a pen moving.
The footsteps gradually approached. She laid there and felt the man sit down beside her. He picked up the towel on her forehead and touched her forehead. Then, he casually wiped her face with the towel and got up to leave.
The sound of the water basin was not far away, so Jin 'er could only continue pretending to sleep. In the room, the man washed the towel and stood there for a while. Then, he paced back and forth.
At this time, there were only the two of them in the room. She didn't wake up, so he could only idle for a while or do his own things. Occasionally, she could hear the man humming a lullaby. It was a random song. She had heard some of the lyrics before, but not others.
"… Bristling with anger, leaning against the railing, the drizzling rain rests … Looking up, looking up to the sky and howling, my heart is fierce … Thirty achievements in the dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road, clouds and moon …"
Such a generous sentence was hummed like a bedtime nursery rhyme, which was a little strange. However, the time in the room passed bit by bit in such a peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes, Jin 'er thought she might as well just sleep like this. However, even though her heart was calm, she couldn't fall asleep. Her surroundings were empty. She could clearly hear every movement in the room and every movement he made. In this way, the song he hummed and the steps he took seemed to have an echo.
What a strange summer …
She thought in her heart. After a while, she heard him sit down beside her, probably looking at her from the side. "What …" He muttered something, but she couldn't hear it clearly. When he walked away, she heard him say again, "Quack …"
The sound of water came again. The towel was back, wiping the slight beads of sweat on her forehead and face. She didn't feel anything before, but now it was indeed a little hot. She had to keep her body motionless, and he even covered her with a blanket. She could feel Ning Yi wiping her sweat, and then he covered her forehead with a towel. A cool feeling came, but her body was getting hotter. Fortunately, Ning Yi then helped her remove the blanket.
The wind blew through the window and through the room, bringing coolness. Ning Yi sat beside her and did not move. She did not know what he was thinking. Once the blanket covering her body was removed, she immediately felt the thinness of her clothes. She suddenly felt as if she had been stripped naked and wondered if she was lying naked next to him.
But of course, the clothes were still there. After a while, Ning Yi was puzzled. "Huh?" She was also a little confused, not knowing what Ning Yi had discovered. Before long, Ning Yi's hand reached over and landed on … her collar.
Thump thump thump … What is he doing …
Her heart was perturbed, but Ning Yi had already unbuttoned the first button on her upper body, and then pulled open her collar a little. When she realized that Ning Yi had noticed her rapid breathing, the movement of his hand stopped and then moved away.
Her collar was only slightly open, so she shouldn't be able to see her dudou. This was the first thought that flashed through her mind. Then, another thought came to her mind: If he hadn't just wanted to loosen her collar, but really wanted to take off her clothes, no matter what, would she have continued to pretend? This question could only be raised in her mind, but in reality, it was not easy to think about it. At the same time, Ning Yi sat there and sighed. It seemed that … taking care of a girl like this also made him a little bored.
"Sicko …" Jin 'er heard him say softly, and it sounded like he was talking to himself. "And you still say you want to snatch my woman …"
Jin 'er also felt a little embarrassed that she had suddenly fainted, but now that she heard him say this, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, thinking about how she had pouted her lips at him in disdain. After a while, Ning Yi, who was sitting beside her, stood up.
"You're usually so lively, but after this kind of thing, you're like an ostrich …" He walked to the desk and nagged. Jin 'er seemed to be able to see him shaking his head and the helplessness on his face. "You don't know what to do, and I'm not good at it either … Su Wenyu and those guys have been laughing at me in private, and now I still don't know how to explain it to Yunzhu …"
Then I also don't know how to explain it to Sister Yunzhu … She felt wronged.
"I'm also in a lot of trouble about the Bianliang matter. I may leave in a few days, and there are some things that I haven't completely sorted out yet, but you still give me a long face all day long … What's so great about that, I don't owe you anything … Sigh …"
Jin 'er felt that something was wrong. Ning Yi came over again, took the towel off her forehead, and put it in a basin not far away.
"Now you're still fainting and won't wake up. I thought that quack just now was trying to scare me, and I saw your hand move when you were unbuttoning your shirt … If you continue to pretend, I'll really strip you naked when I come over later …"
While Ning Yi was washing the towel, Jin 'er shivered and opened her eyes on the bed. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, but then she sat up, lowered her head, and pinched her fingers together. When Ning Yi was about to go out with the basin, she suddenly bit her lower lip, jumped off the bed, and rushed out of the door with her head down without even putting on her shoes. This reaction also startled Ning Yi. He hurriedly put down the basin and rushed over to grab her, "Hey."
He grabbed Jin 'er's right hand, "Hey, that's not my reaction … What are you doing …" Jin' er struggled a few times, turned around, and covered her mouth and nose with the back of her left hand. Tears were already flowing out of her eyes, and she was extremely aggrieved. Her hand was shaking violently, and she choked, "Anyway, it's my fault! Anyway, it's my fault! Let me go, I don't want to be here, let me go … "
She wasn't shouting, but her choking voice was extremely sad, and her right hand shook violently, desperately trying to pull away. Ning Yi grabbed it, but how could he let go? Their strength was not on the same level at all, "Hey, I … I said something wrong …"
"Let me go, you didn't say anything wrong … Let me go …"
"Uh, I just wanted to say something reasonable so that you would stop pretending to be asleep, and be willing to talk to me, that's all. How did it become like this … Hey …"
"Anyway, it's because I said that I like you, that's why it became like this. It's all my fault, I don't like you anymore, okay? Let go …"
Ning Yi had a headache. It seemed that he was really not talented in picking up girls, or was it because of Jin 'er? Originally, he wanted to say something to show that he was very gentlemanly, teasing her and making her willing to talk to him, but he didn't expect that at this time, Jin 'er was struggling fiercely, and refused to stop at all.
She was originally quite elegant, but at this time, she even turned her back, striding forward like a tug-of-war, and the embroidered shoes on her feet were kicked away. She fell on the ground with a bang, and continued to struggle with tears streaming down her face. Ning Yi was a little helpless, and he let go of her hand to let her get up, "Listen to me."
"I won't listen."
Her face was full of tears, and she answered straightforwardly, got up, and ran out of the door. She ran a few steps in the corridor, and suddenly, her body was carried by Ning Yi from behind. This time, Ning Yi did not say anything, and just carried her back like that.
"I want to talk to you!"
"I won't say it, I won't say it, I won't say it, I won't say it …"
Amidst the protests, Jin 'er was thrown onto the bed. Ning Yi's face was gloomy. He was having a headache over this girl who had been suppressing herself to the point of becoming sick. Although he had not found a better way to deal with her, he said, "I said … stop messing around!" "You're going to mess around!" As the girl wriggled around, a slap sounded on her buttocks.
She lay there in a daze. She probably never thought that Ning Yi would do this to her. After the second and third time, in the room of the inn, the girl burst into tears.
"I won't say anything, I won't say anything …"
She cried and threw a tantrum. She wanted to reach behind her to block Ning Yi, but how could she block it? Her butt was still slapped.
"Wow, you hit me …"
"I don't like you anymore. Let me go …"
After resisting for a while, but to no avail, Jin'er just lay there and cried, "I don't like you anymore, I don't like you anymore. Let me go, I won't say anything. Wah … don't hit me …"
Of course, Ning Yi did not hit her too hard, but the impact of this kind of thing might not be in the sense of pain. At this moment, his face was a little pale. After a few hits, Jin'er completely gave up resisting, and just cried while being hit. He took a deep breath and sat beside Jin'er, listening to her shouting that she didn't like him anymore. "Oh, you don't like me anymore …"
Jin'er lay there and cried for a while. Ning Yi's hand was still on her butt. She sobbed for a while, and then continued to cry, saying, "I like … I like you …"
Ning Yi tilted his head. At this moment, he didn't know what to do, but first, he moved his hand away. "I don't want to make a scene anymore. You have to talk to me …"
"I don't want to talk …" Jin'er cried softly. When she saw Ning Yi tilting his head and looking at her, she suddenly shrank her head and cried, "Talk, talk … Wu …" She sniffled and saw that Ning Yi looked like he had a headache. She choked and said, "It hurts …"
"Uh … then …" Ning Yi sat at the side and frowned helplessly. After a while, he placed his hand on his forehead and said, "Then … what should we talk about now …" Jin'er was still lying there and crying. She tilted her head and looked at him. After crying for a while, she put her hand on her mouth, as if she was smiling. After a while, she covered her mouth and cried sincerely. Ning Yi wasn't sure if she was sad or had already made up with him. After crying for a while, she used her elbows to support herself, and was about to climb onto the bed. Ning Yi looked at her and said, "Wait."
Jin'er said, "Okay." She lay there and stopped moving. Her nose was sniffling.
"Turn over."
Jin'er sat up obediently. Probably because her butt was a little painful, she straightened her legs to withstand a little force. She jumped off the bed and ran, and then she struggled so much that she kicked off her embroidered shoes. At this moment, her bare feet were covered with mud and dust.
She didn't know what Ning Yi wanted to do until Ning Yi took the basin of water from the table and placed it by the side of the bed. Then, he squatted there. She looked at this scene and opened her mouth. His hand reached out and held her ankles, making her submerge in the water. The young girl's body shrank.
"A girl's feet shouldn't be touched …"
She lowered her head and said softly. Ning Yi looked up at her.
"In Golden Wind Brothel … women with combed hair shouldn't be touched by others …"
Although she said this in a low voice, she sat on the side of the bed. Her feet were held in the hands of the man in front of her, and she didn't resist at all.
"When I helped you put on your slippers, I already touched them." It wasn't until these inhumane words were heard that Jiner's mouth flattened. Her feet that were submerged in the water struggled a little. However, after being held down by Ning Yi's hands, she stopped struggling.
She looked at Ning Yi lowering his head to wash her feet. She put her hands behind her back, and tears flowed out again.
