Stage [Republic of China]

Xu Jishan didn't care, and just rubbed it up, with water and earlobes dangling from her lips.Shui Jiu's whole body was like a burning cloud, and it burned into a red glow.

Xu Jishan looked at it reluctantly, and with her earlobe in her mouth, she gave a low, indistinct laugh.She was about to make trouble with him, but Shui Jiu was already annoyed. With a bang, she pushed her hands on Xu Jishan's chest, pushing him back two or three steps.

Shui Jiu's face was flushed red, but her tone was extremely vicious. "If you don't leave, I will move out of this place immediately."

"Okay, let's go now." Since Xu Jishan took advantage, of course it's fine to say anything.He raised his hands above his head, made a gesture of surrender, and walked out laughing backwards.

On the second day, Shui Jiu was bored at home, feeling a little listless.

Although Xu Jishan was very busy, she took the time to come back at noon. Seeing that Shui Jiu was not in a good mood, she quietly asked Mama Wu and the housekeeper. Hearing that this person hadn't eaten since morning, Xu Jishan suddenly became worried.

In the afternoon, he turned down the drinking party of the Qing Gang, touched Shui Jiu, and coaxed him with a smile: "Shall we watch a shadow puppet show together in the afternoon?"

"Shadow play?" Shui Jiu was listless, staring at this strange place in the room in a daze.Hearing Xu Jishan's words, he managed to regain his composure, and sneered. "At such an advanced age, what kind of shadow puppetry are you watching!"

"Hey, how old are you?" Xu Jishan clapped her hands and laughed. "What's the matter with you, are you ten years younger than me?"

"Fart!" Shui Jiu couldn't help but swear, her pale cheeks turned red. "How old are you, seventy or eighty?"

"I'm 25 this year." Xu Jishan pointed out her fingers, and then smiled. "Did you forget? I have already reported my birth date to you."

"Then I told you too?" Shui Jiu squinted at him. "I am seventeen this year."

"17 years old, still a few months away." Xu Jishan wrung her fingers and said with a low smile, "I'm counting every minute and every second for you!"

What do you count this for?Shui Jiu was surprised in her heart, but her mouth didn't show anyone at all. "Don't you want to calculate how much rice I ate from your family these days?"

"Hey, according to the rules of our Xu family, you can't get married until you are eighteen years old." Xu Jishan said carelessly, "So of course I'm counting the days when we will have a wedding together.!"

Shui Jiu never expected that this person could be so shameless!Thousands of words were stuffed in his mouth, his two water chestnut lips were trembling, but he couldn't even utter a single curse word.

Xu Jishan didn't expect him to talk either, so it's best not to talk.He laughed and ran over to hug him, kissing and gnawing at him.

"Oh, don't, don't make trouble."

"Since you are so unhappy, why don't you go to the shadow play together in the afternoon?"

Shui Jiu had a lot to say in her heart.Want to say, why am I unhappy?Also, how do you know that I am not happy?But there was too little time for these words to come out - because Xu Jishan hugged him, and her lips rubbed back and forth on his face.

Today Shui Jiu was still wearing a moon-white gown with a low neckline, but Xu Jishan couldn't resist kissing him from his chin to his Adam's apple.Shui Jiu is afraid of itches, and feels that this person is too anxious to approach her.He wanted to push Xu Jishan again, and he was too busy trying to swear, so he was in a hurry.

Xu Jishan quarreled for a while, seeing that his expression became much more lively, she laughed and threw away her hands, hugged Shui Jiu vigorously, and led the person out without any explanation. "Okay, okay, I've already called the team over, let's go watch the show first."

"What show are you going to see? Isn't it shadow puppetry?" Shui Jiu raised her eyebrows, and the people blocked the door resolutely.

Xu Jishan smiled next to his ear and said, "The shadow puppet show is Monkey Sun wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Let's go and have a look."

Xu Jishan half persuaded and half coaxed him into the courtyard.The courtyard of the Japanese-style Japanese-style restaurant is elegantly built, but now a small team has been set up in the open space of the courtyard, beating gongs and drums.The face made by Shui Jiu in the shadow puppet show was familiar, but Jingxi Mansion is different from other places. The faces of Monkey Sun made in this shadow play look a bit like a big man in Kansai.

Shui Jiu looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he was happy, Xu Jishan pushed the melon seed dish forward.Patiently peeled peanuts for Shui Jiu again, peeled a handful of peanuts, brought them to his lips, and blew away the red clothes with a puff, then put them in another clean white porcelain dish, and smiled at Shui Jiu. Jiu said: "Although it is a child's play, it is quite interesting to watch once in a while."

Shui Jiu ignored him and was engrossed in watching the play.Xu Jishan sat beside her with her legs crossed, also smiling, and from time to time, she would sneak a glance at Xia Shuijiu.

Xu Jishan was still happy, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the housekeeper walking over with her head bowed in small steps.His heart sank, seeing that Shui Jiu still didn't care, he quietly got up and walked over, with an unhappy expression on his face, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that he looked bad, the housekeeper lowered his voice. "There is a person outside who said he sent a letter."

"Sneaky, who is it?" Xu Jishan raised her brows high, feeling quite unhappy in her heart.

The butler then took the letter out of his pocket, handed it to Xu Jishan, and said, "The man also refused to tell. He only said that it was for Boss Shui."

The butler knew something about Shui Jiu.After all, Shui Jiu's singing is popular all over the country.The butler was well-informed in the Jingxi Mansion, and knew more or less about this character, but the rest of the Xu residence still kept it a secret.

Xu Jishan took the letter and pondered for a while.Who is looking for Shuijiu to find his house?

He turned his face to look over again, and saw Shui Jiu sitting upright on the chair with his hands on his knees, looking at the overturned heaven in the shadow puppet show, his eyebrows slightly curved, as happy as a child.

"Okay," Xu Jishan couldn't bear to interrupt the happy Shui Jiu, so she took the letter and put it under her sleeve, and replied lightly. "I'll turn it over to him."

After a while, Shui Jiu finally found that Xu Jishan was not there, and turned to look for him.Those red phoenix eyes with twists and turns searched around, and the water rippled slightly.

Xu Jishan walked over to meet his gaze.

Before the person approached, Shui Jiu's eyes lit up first, and then a bright look appeared on his face.

Xu Jishan didn't expect that Shui Jiu would be so happy to see him one day.So his heart warmed and then softened, and he walked over quickly, his sharp lips raised high.

"What did you do just now?" Shui Jiu complained a little.

Xu Jishan felt more and more itchy in her heart, so she hugged him and said with a low smile, "It's nothing."

Shui Jiu glanced at him.

The gongs and drums of the shadow puppet troupe were loud, and even though it was a shadow puppet show, they also performed their posture on the stage.Shui Jiu's attention was attracted again, and he turned his head to see how Sun Houzi made a big disturbance in the heavenly court, and then asked Tathagata Buddha to suppress him under Wuzhi Mountain.

Xu Jishan squeezed the letter under her sleeve tightly, her eyes sank.

45, 45

◎"Desperate Heart"◎

Xu Jishan dawdled until dinner time before pretending to ask Shui Jiu casually. "You are in Jingxi Mansion, but do you have any acquaintances?"

Shui Jiu eats with chopsticks. "No acquaintances." He raised his long eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be thinking.

Xu Jishan looked at it, and this person didn't seem to be lying to him, and felt a little relieved in his heart.He tentatively passed a sentence. "Uh, the one we saw at Xiaoye's mutton shop..."

Xu Jishan deliberately hesitated to speak.As expected, Shui Jiu's face changed, and her cold white fingers clenched the chopsticks tightly.

The idea of ​​comfort in Xu Jishan's mind just now flew to the sky, and she also put down her chopsticks, and gave a strange smile. "The man wrote a letter, saying he was looking for you to talk alone."

He took out the letter from the pocket of his suit pants, and slapped it on the table.

Shui Jiu glanced down, but didn't reach out to take it.

"Why don't you read the letter?"

"Go back to the house and tear it down."

Shui Jiu was indifferent, took a few more mouthfuls of food, and only leaned forward when she got up to leave the table, trying to take the letter away.

With a snap, Xu Jishan slammed her wax-colored big hand on the back of Shui Jiu's.

Xu Jishan sized him up the whole time, and seeing that he didn't say a word, obviously wanting to go to the meeting alone, the little anger in her heart ran up. "Just don't tell me, who is that person?"

Shui Jiu hesitated for a moment, and turned away. "It has nothing to do with you."

"Hmph!" Xu Jishan's nostrils were about to burst into flames.

Shui Jiu retracted her hand. "Why are you putting this letter in front of me without letting me take it?"

Logically, this matter is indeed Xu Jishan's recklessness.But Xu Jishan was used to being clumsy in front of Shui Jiu, and she still covered the letter with her waxy big hand, and smiled coldly on purpose. "You are not familiar with the place where you lived in Jingxi Mansion. I'm afraid that you will go out alone and be kidnapped by someone."

Shui Jiu snorted.

"Either..." Xu Jishan suddenly leaned forward, leaned closer, and said with a chuckle, "Shall I go with you?"

"No need." Shui Jiu was still cold, as if he didn't even want to take the letter, so he turned and left.While walking, he said calmly, "If you must stop me, I can't help it. Who told me to keep you in this cage as a canary."

This is what it says!

Xu Jishan panicked immediately. Seeing that Shui Jiu had already stepped over the threshold with a flick of her robe, she grabbed the letter in her hand and hurried to catch up.Laughing apologetically, he said loudly: "I never dared to circle you! All right, all right, if you want to see me alone, go see me alone."

Until he reached the long corridor of the peace museum, Shui Jiu still ignored him with a straight face.In the end, Xu Jishan had no choice but to coax and flatter her, and finally handed over the letter.It wasn't until Shui Jiu returned to the house that Xu Jishan realized it through the Daola door—it was clear that he was going to spy on this letter through this letter.
