"I'm so nice to you. Do you like me?"
Under a withered tree in the forest, Jing Chen looked at Yu Shu. He always felt that she was more serious than ever. A gust of winter wind swept past, sweeping up the end of her voice and brushing past his ears. He blinked his eyes. He clearly heard what she said, but his mind was a little blank. He tried his best to figure out the meaning of her words.
Seeing that he is in a daze at this time, Yu Shu raises her eyebrows discontentedly. She pokes his chest with her finger without any pretentiousness that a girl should have, "I asked you a question. Did you hear me? Or you don't understand? Then I'll make it clearer. Didn't I let you read the Biography of Liu Yi a while ago? The 'like' I said is the kind of love that Liu Yi has for the Dongting Dragon Girl in the book. Do you understand? "
Jing Chen comes to his senses, and his white face suddenly blushes. He can still calm down when facing Zhou Fangfang's bold expression, but in the face of Yu Shu's straightforward question, he is completely at a loss.
Seeing that he has not answered, Yu Shu is a little impatient. She laughs at him shamelessly, "If you don't speak, I will take it that you like me."
"Xiaoyu." Jing Chen helplessly calls Yu Shu. His mind is a mess now. He has no clue at all. He can't tell whether he likes or not.
Yu Shu is born cheeky. She is a little shy before she speaks, but after she speaks, she is unscrupulous.
As early as that night when Jing Chen stopped the dagger for her with his bare hands and vowed to protect her, she was moved. She carefully considered the relationship between them and decided not to miss such a good man who is willing to die for her.
Now that she was in ancient times, it was impossible for her to remain single. When a woman reached a certain age, she had to talk about marriage. Otherwise, it would be against the moral code. She had no intention of going against the entire feudal society. Since she had to find a man sooner or later, there was a ready-made one by her side. He was good-tempered and obedient. Why should she give up what was close at hand and seek what was far away?
She originally wanted to wait a little longer, at least until Jing Chen remembered some things and recovered some of his memories before explaining it to him. However, Zhou Fangfang's confession today had touched Jing Chen's heart. Jing Chen was a simple-minded person. If she didn't explain it clearly, perhaps he wouldn't be enlightened even after eight to ten years. It was better to take advantage of the fact that he didn't have any memories, and that he didn't have the knot in his heart about the Fate Breaker and Ji Du Xing. On this point, Yu Shu was quite confident.
Yu Shu admitted that it was a bit despicable of her to do so, but she had already made it clear to him. How could she return in failure? No matter what, she had to take him down today.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly had a bad idea. She suddenly pulled a long face and said to Jing Chen, "What? Don't you like me?"
Jing Chen shook his head subconsciously, obviously denying her words. However, Yu Shu deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. She reached out and pushed his chest. She said angrily, "Well, then I'm thinking too much. You forgot what I said just now. Just pretend that I didn't say it."
After pushing him away, Yu Shu put on a hurt expression. She looked at Jing Chen and turned away. Seeing this, Jing Chen hurriedly pulled her hand. As soon as he touched her sleeve, she threw it away. "Didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other? From now on, stay away from me."
"Xiaoyu." Seeing that she was really angry, Jing Chen anxiously grabbed her wrist and pulled her around to face him. "Don't be angry. It's not that I don't like you. It's just that I don't understand … Let me think about it, okay?" Jing Chen tried to coax her gently, "Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't like you. I just don't understand … Let me think about it, okay?"
He could refuse Miss Zhou, but he couldn't easily say "no" to the person in front of him. Because he didn't want to make her unhappy, let alone make her sad.
Yu Shu snorted discontentedly and put on airs. "What's there to think about? Either you like me or you don't like me."
Jing Chen shook his head. "It's not that simple. I read in the book that Dragon Lady Liu Yi didn't communicate with each other from the beginning."
Now he was smart. Yu Shu's eyes flashed. "Okay, then think about it. I'll count to ten. After ten counts, you have to answer whether I like you or not. If you don't answer, from now on, I'll ignore you."
Then, without waiting for Jing Chen to agree, she raised a hand in front of him and started counting. "One, two, three …"
Yu Shu was aggressive. Jing Chen had no way to deal with it. He could only concentrate on thinking about whether he had feelings for her like Dragon Lady Liu Yi.
However, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. As he listened to her counting, his expression became extremely serious.
"… Eight, nine …" When she counted to the ninth count, Yu Shu suddenly paused. She smiled and put one hand on Jing Chen's shoulder. Without warning, she tiptoed and moved closer to his left cheek. "Ten."
The soft breath that fell on his cheek stunned Jing Chen. When he realized what it was, his ears turned red in an instant. His mind couldn't help but be shaken.
Yu Shu's heels fell back. She was a little shy at first, but when she saw Jing Chen's red ears, she burst out laughing. She raised her chin and winked at him proudly. "I asked you a question. Are you angry that I molested you just now?"
Jing Chen didn't dare to look at her. He looked away and shook his head slightly.
"Then, are you happy?"
Jing Chen hesitated for a moment. Although he was uneasy, he still nodded. He could clearly tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
"Then, do you like it?"
Jing Chen was in a daze. Vaguely, he had an answer. He turned his head to look at Yu Shu, who was smiling slyly. His cheek, which had been kissed by her just now, was still burning. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
He liked Xiaoyu.
"You like me." Yu Shu smiled confidently.
This time, Jing Chen did not hesitate. He had an answer in his heart. His face turned red and he nodded seriously. "Yes."
Yu Shu's face was full of smiles. She enjoyed Jing Chen's shy look and giggled for a while. Then, she went along with the flow. "It's good that you admit it. Remember, from now on, the two of us are no longer brothers. Hmm, we should be boyfriend and girlfriend. "
Jing Chen was confused. "Boyfriend and girlfriend? What's that? "
Yu Shu hesitated. She didn't know how to explain it to him. It was a term that would be used five hundred years later. So, she made up a story. "In other words, between a man and a woman, there is a relationship before they get married. Once this relationship is established, they must be devoted to each other. In other words, you can only have me as your girlfriend … and I only have you as my boyfriend."
Jing Chen nodded as if he understood.
"Also, after becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend, you must be honest with each other. You must care for each other and respect each other …"
Yu Shu took the opportunity to instill some other knowledge into his mind. She did not hesitate to sign her name on Jing Chen's blank piece of paper. She did it quickly and steadily.
The two of them came out for a long time and stood in the forest for almost an hour. Jing Chen was fine, but in this winter, Yu Shu sneezed twice after taking in a few mouthfuls of cold wind.
"Let's go back." It was only then that Jing Chen noticed that Yu Shu was only wearing a cotton-padded shirt. She didn't even put on a small jacket … However, he didn't wear much either. He couldn't take it off for her.
"Hmm." Yu Shu rubbed her nose. Her fingers were cold and uncomfortable. She looked up and down at Jing Chen. Then, she consciously held his hand. Sure enough, martial artists' bodies were warm.
Jing Chen's arm stiffened when she held his hand, but he didn't let go of her. Thinking about the fact that they were boyfriend and girlfriend just now, his heart skipped a beat. He slowly retracted his hand and held her cold hand. "Let's go."
Yu Shu and Jing Chen didn't go home hand in hand. A man and a woman holding hands on the street would be criticized by others. But two men holding hands on the street would be shocking. They let go of each other when there were more people on the street. When they got home, Yu Xiaoxiu wondered what they were doing. He asked Yu Shu. She rolled her eyes and said, "Children shouldn't worry about adults."
Yu Shu didn't intend to hide her relationship with Jing Chen from Yu Xiaoxiu. But she also didn't intend to tell him seriously.
"Go in and warm yourself. I'll boil some water for you to make ginger tea." Jing Chen asked Yu Shu to go back to her room. He lowered his head and went into the kitchen. He just changed his relationship with Yu Shu and realized that there were some differences between them. Facing Yu Xiaoxiu again, he was a little embarrassed.
Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu into the house and ordered him to light the stove. She took off her shoes and got under the quilt. From time to time, she hugged the quilt and rolled around. Yu Xiaoxiu squatted by the stove to light the charcoal. Kim Bao squatted by his feet and wagged his tail. One man and one mouse looked at Yu Shu in a daze.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy. Can't I smile?"
"Then why are you happy?"
"I'm not telling you."
"…" Yu Xiaoxiu was a little depressed. He raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Zhou? I saw her crying when she left.
Yu Shu's expression changed. She stopped smiling and turned her head, "She heard that we are moving, so she must be sad."
Yu Shu felt a little guilty towards Zhou Fangfang. Whether it was lying to her that they were going to leave the capital or that she took down Jing Chen today, she felt guilty but it wasn't to the extent that her conscience would be disturbed and it wouldn't affect her mood.
She was an experienced person. She knew that Zhou Fangfang's feelings for Jing Chen were just a young girl's infatuation. It couldn't be said that she really liked him. After all, they had only known each other for a few days. How deep their feelings could be? It was a good thing for her to give up as soon as possible.
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't know the inside story. He said with disdain towards Zhou Fangfang's crying, "Girls are troublesome. They cry all day long. They are all water bags."
"Yu Xiaoxiu, who are you scolding? Don't forget that I'm also a girl." Yu Shu reprimanded in a bad mood.
Yu Xiaoxiu said stubbornly, "How can there be a girl like you? You're fierce all day long. You don't even care about your appearance. You don't even know how to wear a skirt. If you continue like this, you might not be able to get married in the future. You'll be an old woman for the rest of your life."
Hearing his sharp tongue, which she hadn't seen for a long time, Yu Shu was angry and amused. She bent down to pick up a shoe from the foot of the bed and threw it at him, "Brat!"
Yu Xiaoxiu dodged sideways, and Jin Bao climbed up his trouser leg with a "squeak". Yu Xiaoxiu made a face at Yu Shu, and before her next shoe flew over, he ran out.
"Old woman, old woman!"
Yu Shu threw the shoe away and turned around to lie on the bed. She covered her forehead with one hand and smiled. She whispered, "I won't be an old woman."
