Chapter 321: Asking for Acceptance
"There are so many places to stay, and you won't be ......"
Xia Yan wanted to speak and stopped, the hidden meaning Shui Ning was naturally clear, and she smiled: "Shopkeeper Xia wants to say that I won't be cheap myself, I don't go to so many places, I want to find a green building to settle down." ”
Xia Yan's face flushed slightly, she did mean this, and it was really embarrassing to be picked out by Shui Ning to say it. She swore that she definitely didn't mean to look down on Shui Ning, but the girls in that kind of place didn't have a good life.
"If you weren't cornered, who would choose such a pickled place? If my father and mother knew that I was begging to survive in that kind of place, I wouldn't know what to be angry about. Pity...... They can't see it anymore. Shui Ning lowered his head.
"They ......"
"I was wiped out overnight, and I was the only one left in the whole family who was still alive." Shui Ning sighed, "I escaped under the protection of my grandmother and the servants, but those people refused to let me live, and chased and killed me all over the world. As a last resort, I had no choice but to hide in the Qinglou. No matter how far they could find them, they would never have thought that I would hide in the Drunken Red Mansion as a woman. I thought that I would never have the opportunity to dress up as a woman in my life, but I really didn't expect that God would not let me go even if I had already tied my hair. When I was a child, I had to be raised as a daughter in order to save my life, and I finally got rid of these, but I had to put on women's clothes again in order to avoid being chased and killed. The fortune teller may be right, I was supposed to be a woman, but God made a joke and mistakenly made me a kid. ”
Xia Yan wanted to comfort him, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate to mention the facts again, so he changed his words and said: "Since there are enemies chasing and killing you, then you are recovering as a man at this time, aren't you worried about being found by them?" ”
"I've been in the Drunken Red Mansion for some days." Shui Ning gave Xia Yan a reassuring smile, "I deliberately used my real name to pick up customers, just to test it, but I never thought that no one would come to the door." They haven't found any trace of me for so many years, and I'm afraid they have given up a long time ago. Perhaps, those people have forgotten about me a long time ago. ”
What Shui Ning didn't tell Xia Yan was that he was already homeless, and even if he didn't have the enemy's pursuit, he had no intention of leaving the Drunken Red Mansion. After being there for so many years, he already had feelings for it. Anyway, there was nowhere to go, and he didn't know what else he could do if he left the Drunken Red Mansion, so he simply let him spend the rest of his life there, which could be regarded as repaying his mother's affection.
He thought that he had made up his mind, and nothing could attract him to leave, until he met Xia Yan.
When she met her, Shui Ning felt that her dead heart was beating again.
It was the first time that such a little girl had attracted all his attention, and this was the first time he had been so fascinated by a person.
Since returning to the Drunken Red Mansion that day, he has not thought about food, and has her figure in his mind all the time.
Shui Ning felt that Xia Yan must be the person he was destined for.
Of course, Shui Ning didn't dare to tell Xia Yan directly. He also knew that a beautiful girl like her would never take a fancy to a strange man like herself.
Therefore, he didn't have much requirements, he just wanted to be by her side from time to time and silently guard her, which was the only time he had the idea of leaving the Drunken Red Mansion again.
I thought that this wish would never be realized, but I didn't expect that God would treat him well, and Xia Yan actually offered to take him away, which was something he dreamed of.
After this incident, Shui Ning's only remaining resentment towards the fortune teller was completely gone, and all that was left was gratitude. If it weren't for his suggestion back then, how could he skillfully disguise himself as a woman and escape from such a fierce pursuit; If it weren't for him, how could he get close to Xia Yan smoothly and gain her favor; If it weren't for him, how would he meet the person who was destined to protect his life.
Shui Ning had long seen that Xia Yan was a little defensive against all the men, and he was considerate and kind to the women. has been able to get to this point today, thanks to his fifteen years of being raised as a woman, those action habits have long been ingrained in his mind, and ordinary people can't see the abnormality at all.
He could have been by Xia Yan's side forever as a woman, but he didn't want to lie to her and wanted her to know her true colors. Perhaps, there is a glimmer of expectation for her, expecting her......
Thinking of this, Shui Ning shook his head helplessly, this kind of hopeless thing, don't want to.
After explaining the reason, Shui Ning stopped talking and looked at Xia Yan with expectant eyes.
"Dude, you ......" Shui Ning's gaze made Xia Yan feel uncomfortable, she paused for a moment, but still said what was in her heart, "What are you expecting?" ”
Shui Ning may have been waiting for Xia Yan to ask, and he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with this kind of question.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard him laugh and say, "Shopkeeper Xia, knowing my true face, will you still take me in?" ”
After speaking, Shui Ning still stared at Xia Yan with eyes full of anticipation. Goshoya
"Dude, you no longer have an enemy to hunt you down, and you are free, why can't you live in the world, why do you want me to take you in?" Xia Yan was puzzled.
"The world is big, but there is nothing that can give me peace of mind." Shui Ning smiled, "Only on the rejuvenation street of Shopkeeper Xia can I feel a little at ease." ”
"Dude, how can you say that you are also ......" Xia Yan looked Shui Ning up and down, and seeing his resolute look, he decided to make it clear, "How can you say that you are also the famous No. 1 Oiran in Qin County, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to succumb to me." I'm just a small temple here, and I can't accommodate you, the big Buddha. ”
"As long as you can let me stay, even if it's just for me to be a buddy on Sweet Isle, I'm willing." Shui Ning smiled.
"Dude, you're not kidding me, are you?" Xia Yan stared at Shui Ning for a while, and found that his gaze was firm, so he knew that he really had such a plan, and hurriedly shook his head, "I don't dare to let you be my buddy, if your guests know about it, I'm afraid it will level my little sweet island." Just kidding, the No. 1 Oiran in the dignified Qin County, coming to a place like me to be a buddy, didn't it make a mess for me? ”
"Shopkeeper Xia, don't worry, from today onwards, the condensation of the drunken Red Mansion will never appear again." Shui Ning smiled, "No one in the entire Qin County knows that Shui Ning is a man, and no one will associate me with Shui Ning of the Drunken Red Mansion." As for the similarity...... There are so many wonders in the world, and I happen to be similar in appearance to the girl who is condensed, so there is nothing surprising about me. Even Shopkeeper Xia, you didn't recognize me before, how many people can see who I am? You must know that most people in Qinxian County know only about Shui Ning by hearsay, and there are not many people who have really seen me, and which of those who have seen me is not a servant, and how many will personally go to the shop to buy things? Besides, even if someone doubts me, there are a few people who can connect me with the condensation of the Drunken Red Mansion. Anyway, I'm a man, and wouldn't it be ridiculous if they thought I was a condensation? ”
"No matter how ridiculous this is, doesn't it still happen?" After thinking about it, Xia Yan still felt that it was inappropriate, "Dude, I still say that, my little temple ......"
Before she finished speaking, Shui Ning interrupted her: "Shopkeeper Xia, don't forget, you spent a hundred taels of silver to redeem me yesterday." From the moment you hand the money to your mother, I am your man. Your side is where I belong. If you don't want to take me in, where can I go? ”
It's okay not to mention this hundred taels, but as soon as Xia Yan mentions it, his head is full of fire.
If she had known that the beauty she redeemed on a whim was a man, she would not have done such a thing even if she had given her another hundred taels.
Women's clothing boss or something, although Xia Yan doesn't hate it, she really can't accept letting her stay by her side with such a person.
If he keeps men's clothes on weekdays, even if he wears women's clothes back, she has no opinion, I'm afraid that he will be obsessed with gender changes and change his identity from time to time, then Xia Yan's little heart really can't accept it.
It's just a matter of seeing it yourself, anyway, Shui Ning is very pleasing to the eye regardless of men's or women's clothing, and she is happy to have such a beauty for her to appreciate. What she was afraid of was that Shui Ning's identity would be discovered by others, and she really couldn't tell it.
If someone asks, how does she explain it?
Say it's Shui Ning's hobby, so that everyone respects him?
Just kidding, this world is extremely conservative in Xia Yan's opinion, and few people can accept it if they are women's clothing bosses or something.
If the followers of the water condensed knew the truth, it was really not worth it to do anything terrible when they were excited, at least their own street was in danger.
This is an inheritance that she finally put down, and she still wants to use it to redeem Xiaoyi, how could she agree to let such a time bomb stay by her side?
She doesn't do this kind of thing of lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
"Dude, you didn't sell yourself to the Drunken Red Mansion, how can you redeem yourself?" Xia Yan frowned, "I don't even have your deed of sale, how can you be my person?" ”
"Shopkeeper Xia, you give me a deed of sale, I'll sign it now." Shui Ning said firmly.
"You...... You are crazy! Xia Yan was really frightened by this sentence, and looked at Shui Ning with wide eyes, "You are either crazy or stupid, how can anyone put a good citizen and want to go to that slave country?" Dude, you didn't feel sick today? Don't suffer from the wind and cold, talk nonsense for a while. ”
"Shopkeeper Xia, don't worry, Shui Ning's body is hard and he has never been sick." Shui Ning smiled, "What I just said is true, you just have to rest assured." ”
"You dare to sign, I don't dare to accept it." Xia Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
Slavery registration needs to be filed with the government, and if she is asked why, she doesn't know how to explain it. Although Shui Ning was a slave of his own volition, no one would believe it.
When the time comes, if she is accused of being a slave, the good reputation she has accumulated over the years will be in vain.
