The room is very simple, the walls are full of green and black mildew, the tables and chairs are mostly incomplete, the only square book case stands by the wall by the window, but the lacquer on the top is light and visible, there are still some water stains left on the side of the board, and on the book case, there are neatly stacked books and pen and ink and other things, so clean that it is incompatible with the whole room.

The girl was still holding a rag in her hand, obviously scrubbing the bookcase, and when she heard that he was going out at night, the girl's face darkened, and she put the rag on the small table with her hand, and said softly: "Lang Jun...... Are you going to Fu Yin Fang again?"

She seemed to be extremely sad when she said it, and the corners of her eyes turned red, and she looked up at Cai Xiaolang: "Why does Lang Jun have to suffer like this......?

She couldn't say any more, covered her face with her sleeve, and sobbed quietly.

"Silly Aoi. Cai Xiaolang said softly, took out a clean cloth towel from his sleeve, carefully wiped the tears of the girl named Ah Kui, and said in a very gentle voice: "As a man, how can I make you suffer with you? Rest assured, when I have earned this money, I will not go to that place again. Don't cry, your eyes are rabbits. ”

Ah Kui seemed to cry more and more sadly, tears fell straight down like beads with broken threads, and choked up: "Lang Jun is a scholar." You are the San Langjun of the Qin family in Qingzhou, how can you endure such hardships? Let Ah Kui do these chores and tiring work, okay? Lang Jun is studying and practicing calligraphy at home, don't show his face again, just let Ah Kui go outside to earn money, okay?" she said almost pleadingly, her moist eyes looked at the man in front of her, her eyes full of pleading.

Cai Xiaolang—or let's better say—Qin Yanbai, looked at her fixedly, and the gentleness on his face faded.

"Scholar, study?" He seemed to have heard some joke, the corners of his lips lifted up, and a thick sarcasm crossed his eyes: "What is the use of reading like me?"

As he spoke, he shook his empty sleeves a few times, the hatred on his face flashed, and he hooked his lips self-deprecatingly: "Your family Langjun is like this, even if he has every word and article, he can't get fame." ”

"Then you are studying at home, even if you have no fame, your knowledge is still useful, isn't it? I see that the silver at home is enough for us to open a school, wouldn't it be good for you to sit in the library and teach? Ah Kui said hurriedly, tears choking on her throat, and her voice became more and more sober.

"Silly boy. Qin Yanbai patted the top of her head lightly, stuffed the cloth towel into her hand, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Go cook, don't say these disappointing words." ”

The cold voice, the previous gentleness is gone.

When Ah Kui heard this, his body shook slightly, and horror crossed his face instantly. However, when her gaze fell on the empty sleeve of her coat, her expression quickly softened again.

"Yes, Lang Jun. She responded meekly, took the cloth towel to wipe away her tears, and handed it to Qin Yanbai.

"Take it and wash it. Qin Yanbai pushed her hand away, frowned and said, Fu covered his sleeves to his mouth and nose, and there was obvious disgust in his eyes: "How can I use such a dirty thing if I don't wash it?"

Ah Kui immediately retracted his hand, lowered his head and said softly: "Okay, Lang Jun, I'll wash it for you." ”

"Go, get me a new one. Qin Yanbai seemed to be a little impatient, as if the tender and sweet Lang Jun and him were two people at all.

He looked at Ah Kui with a cold face, looked at Ah Kui condescendingly, suddenly reached out and hooked Ah Kui's chin, forced her to raise her head, looked her up and down with a pair of eyes presumptuously, hooked her lips and smiled, and pretended to say mysteriously: "I know what you are thinking, you want me to accept you into the room." ”

His face showed a funny look, his eyes became more and more presumptuous, his fingers slid over her chin, stopped at her neck, his fingertips gently stroked the girl's delicate skin, and sneered: "With such a lowly background as you, I am too dirty to warm my bed, and you still want me to take you?"

He let go of his hand suddenly, rubbed his fingers hard on Ah Kui's collar a few times, and said through gritted teeth: "I know my mother-in-law's thoughts, she just wants me to take a few more sluts like you, and give birth to a few more sluts, so that she can rest assured, and my second brother and fifth brother can enjoy the glory of their sister-in-law in peace." ”

His smile suddenly turned cold, and the breath on his body suddenly became ruthless: "I'm not as good as she wants!"

There was bitter hatred on his face, but on the contrary, there was a lazy sneer hooked at the corner of his lips, and such a look appeared at the same time, giving people a strange sense of separation, as if this face belonged to two different people.

Looking at Qin Yanbai like this, Ah Kui's expression became more and more gentle.

"Lang Jun is right. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, bowing slightly, her hands clasped each other's lower abdomen, but it was the standard handmaid's posture facing her master: "I'll go down and find a new towel for Lang Jun." ”

Qin Yanbai stared at the top of her head for a while, and the anger on his face was suddenly replaced by tenderness: "Then you can go quickly." After a pause, he said softly: "Don't be too tired, I'm distressed." ”

With a deep and soft voice, combined with the tender expression on his face, Qin Yanbai at this moment has regained his original gentle appearance. And his transition between these two emotions was incredibly natural.

Ah Kui's face did not move, he only said yes, and asked: "Do you want Lang Jun to drink tea first? There is still a freshly stewed lotus seed soup on the stove, Lang Jun wants to eat one?"

"I'm very thirsty, so bring me one." Qin Yanbai said softly, looking at Ah Kui's expression extremely gently: "Don't forget to drink it, it's still very hot, don't get into the heatstroke, I'll be distressed." ”

"Okay, Lang Jun, I'll drink it too. Kui meekly replied, bowed again, and slowly walked out of the room.

The moment she stepped out of the room, the strange look on Qin Yanbai's face suddenly disappeared.

His eyes were clear, his face was calm, and he was at ease in every line, and he no longer had that weird and frightening appearance.

He looked thoughtfully in the direction that Ah Kui had left, and something flashed in the depths of his eyes.

And almost at the same time, Ah Kui's face was no longer tame.

She went to the stove room with an indifferent expression, threw Qin Yanbai's cloth towel into the basin, and her moist eyes were full of coldness and indifference.
