Chapter 173: The World Has Never Been Gentle
Xia Ruo seemed to feel some kind of gaze, and glanced at Butterfly Ninja, and found that Butterfly Ninja looked at him with a top-down disdain in it, as if he was looking at a scumbag.
Belch.
Xia Ruo didn't know how to explain it, her professional habits were a bit scary, and she unconsciously wanted to make female customers happy.
"Guest, sit down and have two drinks," Fern Ji suddenly took Xia Ruo's arm, took Xia Ruo to the table and sat down, picked up the wine jug and poured Xia Ruo a glass of wine, and even brought it to Xia Ruo.
"Thank you, Miss Bracken."
Xia Ruo didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and drank it.
At the wine table, Xia Ruo found the feeling again.
She chatted and drank with Fern Ji, because of her modern knowledge, Fern Ji was amused by Xia Ruo's jokes from time to time.
And Xia Ruo also told Fern Ji a lot of his travel experience, and some anecdotes and knowledge that he learned from the Internet, which made Fern Ji very fascinated to listen to it, she has almost never been out of Flower Street in her life, even if she has become a ghost for hundreds of years.
After being an Oiran all his life, it seems that the fallen queen has become a part of the flower street.
Although she was arrogant and arrogant, she was still unconsciously attracted to Xia Ruo's narration, her eyes flashed with brilliance, many things, she had never seen or heard of them, because no one had ever told her these things.
Even she had a moment when she was attracted by the world Xia Ruo told and wanted to leave Flower Street and see the wider world, but after a few seconds, she gave up.
Because she is a fallen hime, the ghost of the Oiran of Flower Street, she doesn't know what the meaning of her existence is when she leaves Flower Street and stops being an Oiran, she is just a ghost who can't see the sun.
"The guests are really amazing, I've been to so many places, life is so wonderful, I'm very impressed," I'm very impressed by the fern Ji, she toasted Xia Ruo with a glass of wine, "I'm honored to be able to chat with the guests." ”
"I'm also honored to be able to drink with Miss Bracken, Miss Bracken-Ji is really the best-looking Oiran I've ever seen," Xia Ruo didn't lie, but he had only seen two Oiran.
"Hmm," was praised by Xia Ruo like this, the corners of Fern Ji's mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes narrowed happily.
The feeling of being praised by this guest is completely different from the feeling of being praised before.
……
"Ahem."
The butterfly on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help coughing twice, she felt that Xia Ruo didn't seem to be here to get rid of ghosts, but to pick up girls, so she couldn't help but remind her.
Hearing this cough, Bracken-hime glanced at the butterfly shinobu standing behind her, covered her mouth and snickered.
"The guests are really funny, take girls to visit the flower street, it's the first time I've seen this situation, aren't you afraid that the young lady behind you will be jealous?"
After all, Bracken-hime is a ghost for hundreds of years, and she can naturally see through it at a glance for a simple woman's disguise like Butterfly Shinobi, but she is also a little curious about why this guest brought a woman to find the Oiran.
"You mean Xiao Shinobi," Xia Ruo smiled faintly, as if the female identity of the Butterfly Ninja was debunked.
"I have nothing to do with her, she used to be a hard-working child, she used to live on the streets because of family reasons, I saw that she was pitiful and adopted her, and now Xiao Ren is behind me to help, dealing with some chores and other things."
Butterfly Ren heard that Xia Ruo had forged an identity story for herself, and she didn't speak, so she lowered her head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Really?" Fern Hime's gaze swept over Butterfly Shinobi's chest, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, "Indeed, it's still young, and it looks like a child." ”
Butterfly Shinobu couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard Bracken's words.
Compared with the delicate figure and tall height of the fern hime, Butterfly Shinobi is indeed like a child.
"The guest's vision is very good, and he really found a good seedling, this child dresses up a little, and I think it will not be weaker than the average Oiran, of course, much worse than me,"
Fern Ji thought that Xia Ruo had taken a fancy to Butterfly Ninja's appearance, so she accepted her, and many rich people like to do such things.
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, I treated Xiao Ren like a sister," Xia Ruo shook his head, indicating that he didn't mean anything else.
"Is that so?"
Bracken-hime was a little surprised, she glanced at Butterfly Shinobu again, judging from the details she had observed before, it seemed that the two were not in that kind of relationship as the guest said.
"It seems that the guest is really a good person, if it weren't for you, it is estimated that the final fate of this child will not be starving to death on the street, and there is a high probability that he will be sold to Flower Street."
When Fern said these words, she seemed to recall her own experience as a human, and this is how she experienced it, and it was an experience that was difficult to look back on.
As a top six, but Bracken-hime was once a human.
She has been beautiful since she was a child, but her parents are dead, and she is dependent on her ugly brother, she has always been poor, and she lives hard in this cold world, even so, the human Fern is still simple and innocent, believing that one day it will get better.
But misfortune always comes quickly, when a samurai wanted to force her by force, in order to keep her innocence, she desperately resisted and poked a hairpin in one of the samurai's eyes.
It's just that, with her identity, how can she resist the revenge of others, and in the end, the angry samurai let the baren burn alive and burned it to charcoal.
It can only be said that this world is not gentle.
She has never been treated gently by this world, she has never loved people, she has never been loved, and she has never felt love, so she has never regretted being a ghost, and she has no rejection of cannibalism.
The world has not been gentle with her, so why should she be gentle with the world?
In the process of communicating with Xia Ruo, Fern Ji suddenly found that now that she had met not that bastard warrior before, but Xia Ruo, it was estimated that her life might be different again.
Fern Ji can feel that Xia Ruo is a very gentle person, it is gentleness that can't be concealed, although she likes to say those sultry words, a bit like a scumbag, but she is very kind, and she is also handsome and talented.
Unlike the people who only coveted her beauty before, Xia Ruo was really praising her, and there was no evil thought in her eyes. Maybe it's really funny when chatting with Xia Ruo, or maybe it's being provoked.
Fern Ji's opinion of Xia Ruo slowly changed, and a feeling appeared in her heart that had never appeared before.
"Can I know the guest's name?" Fern Ji looked at Xia Ruo and asked.
"Xia Ruo," Xia Ruo smiled softly, "I said my name, but Miss Fern Ji's name, I wonder if you can tell me?" ”
Bracken-hime is just Oiran's stage name, and what Natsuruo wants to know is her real name.
"My name ......"
Fern Ji seems to be stuck in the memory, her name, Fallen Hime?
No, this is the name she took after she became a ghost, it is the name of the winding ghost, facing Xia Ruo, she didn't want to answer this name, and her real name, after so many years, with the memories of the past, she was about to forget, but when Xia Ruo asked like this, her memory was slowly recalled.
"My name is ...... Plums. ”
