"Brother Xiao!"
Hearing the shout, Ren Tingting quickly ran over.
Today she was wearing a light blue traditional outfit and flat embroidered shoes. Such ordinary clothes looked exceptionally pure and lovely on her.
Especially her long, jet-black hair, styled into two thin braids and coiled on her head, made her look playful and cute.
Ren Tingting stood in front of Xiao Ning, raised her head, looked up at Xiao Ning, and her eyes showed disbelief.
"Brother Xiao, are you...are you a deity?"
Ren Tingting's tone was full of amazement.
Xiao Ning was taken aback, not understanding what was wrong with her, and replied, "I'm definitely not a god, Tingting, why do you ask that?"
"I just saw you control lightning. You flicked your wrist and a ball of lightning fell to the ground, blasting a huge crater in it. That was amazing!"
Ren Tingting gestured for a moment, then pointed to the ground, but was completely stunned: "Huh, where's that big pit? Where did it go? Am I seeing things?"
Seeing the bewildered girl, Xiao Ning burst into laughter.
"Just now, I was practicing lightning magic. As for the big crater that was blasted into the ground, I've already filled it in!"
He didn't hide anything; he told the truth.
"Is that so? I thought I was seeing things!"
Ren Tingting nodded in sudden realization.
Xiao Ning didn't want to talk much, so she asked instead, "Tingting, why are you here so early today? Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Ah, I've already eaten!"
Ren Tingting lowered her head shyly, feeling somewhat embarrassed to come see Xiao Ning every day, but she couldn't help herself.
"Come in and sit down, what are you standing there for!"
Xiao Ning turned around and invited her into the living room to talk, but unexpectedly, Ren Tingting grabbed her sleeve.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot, today is the day my grandfather's grave is being moved. Brother Xiao, why don't you... come with me?"
Just as Xiao Ning was wondering what was going on when Ren Tingting whispered something to him, he realized what was happening.
"That's right. When I first came to Renjia Town, I met Lin Jiu and his apprentice in a Western restaurant. It was at that time that Ren Fa asked him to move the coffin and relocate the grave. They set a three-day date, which is today."
Xiao Ning suddenly realized what had happened and recalled the past.
He smiled slightly and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember seeing you and Uncle Ren once in a Western restaurant when I first came to Renjia Town."
"Back then, I wondered which family's daughter she was, that she was so beautiful and lovely! Haha! Were those two the people Uncle Shi invited to move the coffin and start the earthmoving?"
Hearing Xiao Ning say this, Ren Tingting had no recollection of it. She shook her head and said apologetically, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I have no recollection at all. I don't remember meeting you that day."
Then she added definitively, "However, you guessed right. Those two were indeed famous Taoists within a hundred miles, and it seems they came from the Maoshan Sect."
"They're very famous, but I don't know about their skill level!"
At this point, Ren Tingting said disdainfully, "That little one is really annoying. He always stares at people with those lecherous eyes. He's awful!"
Xiao Ning knew she was referring to Wen Cai, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "As the saying goes, a beautiful woman is sought after by gentlemen! Tingting is as beautiful as a flower, it's perfectly normal for men to like you!"
Ren Tingting smiled broadly, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She looked up at Xiao Ning with sparkling eyes and asked, "Then... Brother Xiao, do you... do you like Tingting too?"
Her voice grew softer and softer, almost like a mosquito's buzz. If Xiao Ning hadn't been so sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, she wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying at all.
However, when he heard what the girl said clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
Is this girl confessing her feelings to me?
what do I do?
Should he take the opportunity to kiss her and accept her confession?
Or should we pretend we didn't hear it?
Xiao Ning had encountered this situation before. In the past, many girls had confessed their love to him, but back then, it was mostly about physical attraction, and very few of them were serious about feelings. In fact, he had never encountered any at all.
Girl: I just want to have a physical game with you, not a heart-to-heart game with you!
Xiao Ning readily accepted.
Occasionally, one or two innocent girls might try to develop feelings for him, but Xiao Ning would cruelly reject them.
In his words.
Want my body? No problem, feel free to flirt!
But if you want to dominate it long-term? Sorry, get lost!
Right now, Ren Tingting is clearly in love and wants to commit to a relationship that will last a lifetime.
what to do?
Xiao Ning panicked.
If Xiao Ning were to refuse her outright, she would be reluctant and unable to bring herself to do it. Ren Tingting was only eighteen years old and had received both traditional Chinese education and Western cultural education.
Moreover, judging from the movie, after Ren Tingting moved into the mortuary, she not only took care of people, but also cooked porridge and meals. She was not the kind of high-class vase who never lifted a finger.
