"Thank you very much, but since we are friends, I will not be polite."

Shang Lu very naturally replaced the friendship, and then turned to urge the shopkeeper.

"boss?"

The gray-haired old shopkeeper twirled his beard, squinted his small eyes and looked at the three of them, looking at Shanglu, and then at Baiying and Jingmo who were leaning together.

At such an old age, the old shopkeeper is considered well-informed, so it is natural to see that Jing Mo is well-dressed and must have a good fortune.

As for the other two, they looked like young women of the right age, not such vulgar beggars on the surface.

It's just that the two dressed up like this on purpose, and he couldn't afford the money, so he naturally didn't say much, but since the business came, he had to confirm it again.

After going back and forth several times, the old shopkeeper finally opened his mouth slowly before Shang Lu urged him again.

"Two rooms?" The old shopkeeper stretched out two fingers and reconfirmed, "This girl doesn't seem to be able to pay for three rooms..."

Shanglu looked back at Baiying, then at Jingmo, and finally at the shopkeeper, with a dazed expression on his face as if he finally understood.

——That's right, now that they are dirty, it's normal for clean girls to dislike them.

Otherwise, let Shang Lu say it, in fact, one room is enough.

Shang Lu consciously discovered the truth, so he decided to take the initiative to smooth things over: "It's okay, the two of us can live together..."

As he said that, Shang Lu winked at Bai Ying vigorously, while trying to reach out to pull her.

However, with a smile on his face, Jing Mo put down two rooms of silver money on the counter, took Bai Ying with one hand, and with a light tug, he avoided Shanglu's hand.

"Only two rooms." Jing Mo said, his tone as gentle as ever, "Aying and I live in one room."

At this moment, Her Lady Queen, who was always majestic, dared not do anything except nod her head.

Chapter 5 05

Shang Lu watched helplessly as Bai Ying was dragged into the house.

A tidy, thin and weak woman walked in front, holding the person behind who made a mess of herself with one hand, not caring about the mud on her body.

And the one at the back was like a little daughter-in-law, without refuting a word, obediently followed the woman and walked up.

It wasn't until the two of them reached the stairs and turned the corner that they couldn't even see their backs, then Shang Lu slowly closed his slightly opened mouth with his hands.

Although we haven't known each other for long, as far as Shanglu is concerned, Baiying doesn't look like such a well-behaved person.

Could it be that this person is Bai Ying's nemesis?

While thinking about it, Shang Lu numbly took the key from the shopkeeper and walked upstairs slowly.

Jing Mo booked two adjacent rooms, and she and Bai Ying went up first to the room next to the stairs.

So before Shang Lu entered the room, he had to pass by Jing Mo and Bai Ying's room.

The door of Baiying's and Jingmo's room was ajar, only a few conversations could be heard occasionally, and Shang Lu glanced inside as he passed by.

Bai Ying stood behind the table, looking at her friend warily, holding the hem of her tattered coat with one hand, as if she was afraid that she would pounce on her immediately.

Jing Mo laughed and said, and really stopped moving, but reconfirmed: "Do you really want me to help you?"

"No need." Bai Ying quickly shook her head, held back for a long time, and added, "Don't get dirty."

Compared with Jing Mo, who was neat and tidy, as if she had just come out of some palace, Her Majesty, who was born in a palace, seemed to have crawled out of a slum at this moment.

So the first thing Jing Mo did when he entered the door was to ask the waiter to fetch water.

In the past, it was not possible to make things so miserable in the past, but now that the world is prosperous and peaceful, Jing Mo can't persuade himself to accept the majestic empress appearing in front of people with such a dignified appearance.

As long as principles are not involved, Bai Ying's attitude towards Jingmo has always been "whatever you say is right", of course she has no objection.

However, on the detail of bathing, the two had a little disagreement——

Jingmo tried to help Baiying complete such a trivial activity.

Bai Ying said that she would not obey.

It's not that she resists the closeness of her friends, but it's autumn and the evening is approaching. The weather is cold, and Baiying is worried that Jingmo will catch a cold if she gets wet in the water and blows wind.

Of course it is best not to stick.

After all, Baiying's memory of Jingmo still dates back to a few years ago, so she feels that no matter how careful she is with her body, she can't be too careful.

She was frightened.

Seeing Bai Ying's expression, Jing Mo knew that she had thought of the incident of her passing out many times many years ago, and immediately sighed secretly, and did not insist anymore.

"Now I'm not so fragile." Jing Mo smiled and said, "Besides, isn't Ah Ying still here?"

When he was away from home, Jingmo continued to call him "Aying" when he was a child. He called "Aying" in a natural and intimate way, and Baiying unconsciously smiled.

Shang Lu passing by outside the door happened to see this unusually harmonious scene, and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it, and walked to her room after scratching her messy hair.

As she walked, she couldn't help feeling that the relationship between the two seemed really good.

So Shang Lu was completely relieved, went into the house, tidied himself up briefly, and then fell asleep.

The person next door who was stamped "very good relationship" fell into an even weirder atmosphere.

Because Jing Mo was watching, even Bai Ying, who had always been as thick-skinned as a city wall, rarely felt a little embarrassed, so she cleaned herself up quickly.

There is only one bed in the room, but it is not small enough for two or three people to squeeze into it.

Jing Mo had simply cleaned up before Bai Ying, and lay down on the bed to wait for her.

Baiying sat on the edge of the bed, wiping the moisture off her head with a dry cloth.

Some rough fabrics blocked her vision, and before she could react, she felt a weight on her leg.

Bai Ying was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, and met Jing Mo's gaze. The latter smiled, rolled around again, adjusted her posture, and just fell on her lap.

Bai Ying has never shared a bed with other people, but she has no resistance to Jingmo's closeness.

She was only stunned for a moment because of the accident, but she didn't make any reflexive avoidance.

The two haven't seen each other for many years. Although the tacit understanding has not diminished, the emptiness of distance brought about by time still exists. Bai Ying feels rather flattered by Jing Mo's initiative to get close.

The movements of Baiying's hands slowed down unconsciously, and Jing Mo took the initiative to reach out, took over the movements of her hands, and helped her wipe off the moisture on her body.

Jing Mo's expression was focused, as if she didn't pay attention to anything except the movements of her hands. Her movements were very gentle, and she didn't know whether she slowed down her strength deliberately or because of her weakness.

Bai Ying looked at Jingmo, and didn't dare to move for a while. The Jingmo in her memory was always fragile, as if it would break if touched lightly.

But she also knew that it was just an illusion caused by the shadow of her fear. Although Jing Mo was weak, she could bear the weight of responsibility better than anyone else.

What's more, Jingmo has been recuperating on the mountain for many years. If it hadn't been very effective, her master, who is known as a genius doctor, probably wouldn't let her go down the mountain.

"What's the matter?" Jing Mo noticed Bai Ying's fugue, rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Is it so pretty? I'm so dumbfounded?"

After Jing Mo made a joke, he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Bai Ying caught him unexpectedly.

However, the latter's expression was still dazed, as if it was just an instinctive move.

Jing Mo was taken aback.

After a while, Bai Ying finally came back to her senses, and noticed the posture of the two of them——

For a moment, Jing Mo lay down on her lap, facing her, while she naturally bent down, letting the former rub her round and flatten her, while he held her hand.

Catching a little panic in Jing Mo's eyes, Bai Yingcai's ears blushed belatedly, but she didn't know where the flustered guilty conscience came from.

"Cough..." Bai Ying coughed lightly, looked away a little helplessly, and then let go of her hand pretending to be calm, "Rest early."

Jing Mo returned to his senses earlier than Bai Ying, couldn't help laughing immediately, but also obediently stepped back, leaving a place for Bai Ying.

Bai Ying frowned and looked at the not-so-big gap, with a rare hesitant expression, but finally lay down on Jing Mo's teasing smile.

As soon as she lay down, Bai Ying heard Jing Mo calling her name behind her: "Aying, turn around."

Without thinking too much, Bai Ying turned around.

In the next moment, warm body temperature slipped into Baiying's embrace.

Bai Ying froze.

"I'm cold." Jing Mo murmured.

Bai Ying's struggle was instantly strangled in the cradle, and after a moment of hesitation, she took the initiative to hug the person who rolled into her arms roguely.
