Dongfang Shuo was sitting in the idle courtyard, and opposite him, Ji Zhaoning was cooking tea.

She is skillful, and every step is precise and just right, like a veteran tea cook.

Or rather, as if she could see it with her own eyes.

"I said twenty-three tea leaves, and it took you a full breath to pour half an extra one, which is not good. Dongfang Shuo shook his head, "Let's do it again." ”

Ji Zhaoning sighed.

Although she wants to complain, it is all to make herself able to act like an ordinary person.

Although she still can't be seen lightly, if her actions can be as normal as ordinary people, that's her expectation.

"But Dongfang, don't you think that the speed at which your requirements for me have become stricter is a little too fast?"

Ji Zhaoning asked as he faced Dongfang Shuo.

Her eyes were still frozen, but if you didn't look closely at her movements at this time, it was hard to see that she couldn't see anything.

It's terrifying enough to be able to make such progress in just half a year.

"Soon? But that's it. ”

Dongfang Shuo said, "At least in two months, I will also let you reach the point where you can shave mosquito legs with a sword." ”

"That's not the realm that normal people can reach, right?!" Ji Zhaoning said busily, "And why is it two months? After two months, are you going to do something?"

"Yes, I'm going to do something important. ”

"Is it dangerous?"

"Why do you think so?"

"If it weren't for the danger, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to teach me so hard before you left. ”

"Hey, you're smart. ”

"If I can't even guess that, I'd be stupid. ”

"It's dangerous, but it's not going to happen. Dongfang Shuo smiled, "I just don't know when I'll be able to come back." ”

Ji Zhaoning nodded.

At this time, she had already poured some tea leaves.

This time no more, no less, exactly twenty-three pieces of tea.

"Then stay safe. ”

While speaking, Ji Zhaoning poured hot water.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Ji Zhaoning: "What, are you worried that something will happen to me?"

"I'm worried. Ji Zhaoning nodded, and put the hot water aside, "If you don't come back, I won't be able to eat and clothe me." ”

"That's a chilling thing you say. ”

"So no matter what I say, you feel cold?" Ji Zhaoning said helplessly, "So you're a person, it's really hard to serve." ”

"So it's obvious that you're chilling, okay, why do you blame me?"

"It's your glass heart," Ji Zhaoning handed out the teacup, steaming, "Drink tea, warm your heart." ”

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the teacup in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked without a trace.

He glanced at Ji Zhaoning and knew that she must not know that he was laughing now.

So, he picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips.

The aroma of tea poured into his mouth, relaxing his body and mind.

"Come back safely. ”

Suddenly, a soft voice brushed into his ears.

His movement to drink tea paused slightly, then put down the teacup and looked at Ji Zhaoning suspiciously.

"You ...... just now?"

Just as he was asking, footsteps came from the stone path.

Dongfang Shuo followed the prestige, and he saw a family member.

The family stood outside the courtyard and made a gesture.

"Mansion Master, it's done. ”

Jia Ding Road.

Dongfang Shuo nodded, and at the same time glanced at Ji Zhaoning on the side.

Ji Zhaoning poured tea and drank tea by himself.

In the past six months, even if she heard about something related to Dongfang Shuo's business, she would not ask half a word.

Even if Dongfang Shuo took the initiative to talk to her, she looked indifferent and couldn't talk at all.

"Okay, I know. Dongfang Shuo said, "Where's the girl?"

"Little master, she ......," said the housekeeper after a pause, "she ran to the north, but she didn't want us to follow." ”

"Then you're going to let her run away alone?"

"I have sent Chen Wei to protect him secretly, the mansion master can rest assured, the little master will be fine. ”

"Anyway, when she comes back, I'll ...... as soon as possible"

At this point, Dongfang Shuo's voice suddenly stopped.

Then, his gaze looked into the distance of the stone path, and a petite figure appeared there, gradually walking.

"Stand down. ”

Dongfang Shuo commanded as he got up.

After the family retreated, Dongfang Shuo greeted the little girl who had just returned.

"Girl, I have a business to discuss later, and I'm going to leave today. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

The little girl glanced at him, then nodded and said, "I know, I will take care of myself at home, and I will also take care of Sister Ji." ”

"My sister has been so good lately, and she doesn't need to be taken care of by a girl anymore. ”

Ji Zhaoning also walked here at this time, and just chuckled.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the little girl and said, "No, this time, you go with me." ”

"Me?"

The little girl was stunned, "But ......"

"What's wrong?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

After thinking about it, the little girl shook her head: "No, it's nothing. So when is it going to go, today?"

"Yes. ”

"Then it's time for me to get ready. ”

With this, the little girl turned around.

But she didn't take a few steps, as if she suddenly thought of something, she immediately ran in front of Ji Zhaoning.

After fumbling around her body, she took out an envelope.

"My sister holds this for me, and if someone comes to my door to ask for it while I'm out of the house, please give it to them. The little girl said.

Ji Zhaoning took the letter and asked, "What is this?"

"It's something very important. ”

"Since it's something very important, can you give it to me?"

"Because I'm sure my sister won't peek. ”

"Yes, my sister will definitely not peek. ”

Ji Zhaoning smiled bitterly.

“...... Sister Ji, I didn't mean that......" The little girl seemed to realize something, so she immediately defended.

And Ji Zhaoning smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't secretly let people read it to me." ”

"Also, if they asked me about it, my sister told me the truth, saying that I was out and would be back soon. ”

"Got it, got it. Ji Zhaoning smiled, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"It's gone. ”

With that, the little girl turned around and left.

After he left, Ji Zhaoning put away the letter and said at the same time: "You are finally going to start cultivating her." ”

"You see that?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have to take her with you. ”

"But I think she's only fourteen, isn't it a little too early?"

"Girls mature earlier than boys, don't look at her young age, she doesn't know much more than you did when you were fourteen. ”

"You don't say anything like a girl who is only sixteen and a half years old," Dongfang Shuo teased, "No matter what, you're only two and a half years older than her." ”

"Just talk too much. ”

Ji Zhaoning pursed his mouth, "But I think I'm like your peer, the twenty-four-year-old big brother Dongfang Shuo." ”
