The beauty is in my arms, the young marshal's eyes are red at night

She didn't believe a word of what was said in the newspaper.

Zhou Shi has a good relationship with the Third Miss and the Young Marshal. The Third Miss often comes to drink tea with Zhou Shi. If there is an assassination, Zhou Shi has many opportunities.

Why would it take so much effort?

She was not a smart person, but she knew that they were close friends and would not cause such a fuss.

late at night.

Xu Kexin had just finished taking a shower and was changing clothes in the house when there was a sudden noise from the roof.

Alarm bells rang in her mind.

Ordinary people live here. Although the security is not particularly good, there are no petty thieves. After all, they can't steal much money.

But she was still on guard.

She doesn't have any special skills, but she's quick.

She quickly jumped over and took out the knife from under the pillow, and put it to the man's throat the moment he jumped down and bent his knees.

The person who came was faster than her and knocked the knife out of her hand.

The knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Xu Kexin no longer cared about this sound.

She opened her mouth blankly, stammered for a long time, opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, and couldn't utter a word.

Is this an illusion?

It was not until Xu Kexin felt something covering her head and everything became pitch black that she reacted.

"...Put on your clothes." She clearly heard Zhou Shi's voice.

Xu Kexin clutched her clothes tightly.

Only then did I feel a chill in my body.

After taking a shower, she was only wearing a thin shirt on her upper body and didn't have time to put on her underwear.

The yard here is very small.

Two rooms plus a small living room make up the entire layout of this place.

The boss was a man, which was very inconvenient, so she had to fetch water from the room to take a shower every time.

Xu Kexin didn't dare look at him and hurriedly put on her clothes.

His face turned red.

Zhou Shi did not avoid her and just stood opposite her, watching her flustered movements.

After Xu Kexin put on her clothes, she realized that his eyes had not shifted and he was just staring at her without blinking. She immediately blushed, "...Why didn't Master Jiu turn around?"

Zhou Shi said calmly: "I am not a gentleman."

Xu Kexin: “…”

Not a gentleman?

What do you mean?

She felt that Zhou Shi was teasing her, but also felt that this was not Zhou Shi's style, and was a little confused about what he meant.

Zhou Shi asked her, "Manager Sun said you were going to the Metropolitan to see me today. What's the matter?"

"Ah, nothing." He changed the subject, and Xu Kexin's tense heart relaxed a little for no reason.

She said, "I saw the news in the newspaper and I know that those contents are written for others to see. You will disappear for a while. I guess you will be in the South City."

She didn't know where Zhou Shi was in other places in South City, she only knew the Metropolis.

Xu Kexin went to try his luck.

Zhou Shi patted her head and said, "Your mind is clear now."

This is a compliment, not meant to be disparaging.

Xu Kexin scratched his head embarrassedly: "I studied with my teacher and mentor, they often talked about principles, and I kept them in mind."

She studies very hard and seriously.

This was a hard-won opportunity. She started later than others, so she put more thought into it.

What's more, Zhou Shi hopes that she will study hard.

"I want you to study, so study hard. I asked you to divert your attention, so why not?"

Xu Kexin came back to his senses and realized that he had accidentally said what he was thinking.

She avoided his gaze awkwardly.

Zhou Shi’s gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce her chest and see directly into her heart.

Her heart ached.

"I came to see you today. Did I bother you?"

Xu Kexin took a step back, curled up and looked a little frustrated, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds again."

Humans are greedy animals.

Having been rejected by Zhou Shi before, she was completely desperate and firmly told herself not to bother him again. She just quietly collected information about him.

She had never set foot anywhere near the metropolis.

Those beliefs collapsed the moment I saw him again.

Some people are impossible to get close to. Once you get close to them, it's like you've been poisoned and you can't let go.

To her, Zhou Shi was just like that.

The man in front of her took off the black hat on his head, casually placed it on the edge of her bed, and sat down.

He patted the seat next to him and asked her to sit down as well.

Xu Kexin sat down nervously.

As soon as she sat down steadily, Zhou Shi suddenly leaned towards her.

He asked, "If you keep looking at me, will you still want to look at other men and marry other men?"

She bit her lip.

Zhou Shi asked her again: "Is it difficult to answer?"

"No." Xu Kexin shook his head, then nodded, "It's a little difficult for me. I'm afraid that my answer is not what you want to hear, Master Jiu. I don't know what to do."

Those words last time were just her excuse.

"Tell me about it." Zhou Shi said.

Xu Kexin looked up at him.

She really felt that Zhou Shi was particularly patient today, and he seemed to be tempting her to say something.

She was sensitive by nature, and she traveled all over the country with the opera troupe, meeting many guests with different personalities, and often had to figure out people's emotions.

Zhou Shi in front of him had a gentle expression and was very calm.

Can you really say it?

Xu Kexin clenched his fingers, somewhat undecided.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Eh?"

Xu Kexin was stunned.

Then she saw the man stand up.

He seemed to be leaving.

Xu Kexin's heart was filled with confusion.

She looked at the tiles that had been pushed away from the eaves, then at the man's tall and slender figure, and wondered dully: Why did Mr. Jiu come all the way here?

This scene reminded her of the night when she was sick.

She lay on the bed and cried loudly, but he turned away resolutely without even looking back.

Xu Kexin felt a palpitation.

She stood up hurriedly, followed his pace, and grabbed his hands tightly from behind.

Last time she was too sick to get up and hold him back. This time she didn't want to repeat the same mistake and let that figure disappear from her sight again.

Knowing it is impossible to do something, but still insisting on doing it.

And there was always a voice telling her that Zhou Shi wanted to hear her speak this time.

Her two hands clenched around him tightly, even slipping through his fingers and holding his tightly.

Xu Kexin said: "If you want to hear it, I will tell you everything! Even if there are other men, I will not even look at them, nor will I want to marry them. My heart can only hold Jiu Ye alone, and there is no room for anyone else!"

"why do you like me?"

"Master Jiu, you are very good."

"Because I helped your class master, your partner, or gave you a new name?"

"No!" Xu Kexin shook his head vigorously, "Those are gratitude, I can tell the difference!"

After a pause, he continued, "I don't know how to describe it. Master Jiu, you are the most handsome man I have ever seen. I always like looking at you! By the time I realize it, I can't take my eyes off you!"
