Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 51

She was shocked to learn that Fu Jin had said her portrait had been sold for a thousand taels of silver, and it turned out to be true. However, what she didn't know was that the person who bought the painting was Long Ming.

Long Ming continued, "You were too careless. If this painting really falls into someone else's hands, how long do you think you can keep your identity hidden? Ming Lu and the others might not suspect you, but can you guarantee that others won't? This time, agreeing to their plan was really too risky."

She remained silent, knowing she had taken too much of a risk, but what could she do now? Just as she was feeling somewhat dejected, she suddenly heard Long Ming laugh and say, "But it's very interesting. Oh dear, I want to participate too, and see if you will become the most handsome man in the world, or if I will!"

What? I used to look at him like he was a monster.

"Don't be afraid. So what if the truth comes out? We can just disguise ourselves and run away."

Hmph, easy for you to say. I gave him a disdainful look back then.

"Hmph, with our disguise skills, we can certainly roam the world freely without being recognized by anyone."

Pshaw, who wants to roam the world with you? You look like a peacock, attracting attention wherever you go. Being with you would be like exposing my status!

"Huh? Still not satisfied? How about this, at worst, I'll take the loss and you marry me."

Pah... You're so beautiful.

"You're still not satisfied? Don't be too demanding. My conditions are already very good."

Damn it, this guy's narcissistic tendencies are acting up again. Seriously... I can't take it anymore!

************

There's a saying that goes, "When you can't bear it anymore, you don't have to bear it anymore," but didn't we agree to tolerate him today? Disheartened.

Fine, I'll just have to bear it for today.

"Hey, why are you gritting your teeth and enduring such discomfort?"

Of course I'll tolerate you! What else can I tolerate!

"Have you been wronged? Or is something bothering you?"

It's none of your business.

"Why are they ignoring me? They used to pounce on me long ago." I'm puzzled; it doesn't make sense.

Hmm? Could it be that tolerating him was also a mistake?

"Well, since you're ignoring me, I'm leaving. No need to see me off."

I wasn't planning on seeing you off anyway, but since you're finally leaving, I won't bother!

"I'm leaving!"

You can leave now!

"I'm really leaving."

You should leave quickly.

"I'm really leaving now."

Are you coming or not?

"Oh, I forgot to take the painting with me."

Take it quickly and leave.

"What's wrong with you today? Why haven't you said a word to me?"

Of course I can't talk to you, I'm afraid I'll lose control once I open my mouth!

"Oh well, I was planning to keep this as a keepsake for life and never take it out, but since you're acting so strangely today, I'll take it out anyway." He touched it from the left, rummaged around on the right, scratched it in front, and rubbed it in the back.

What are you doing? Picking lice?

"Ah, finally found it."

What?

Upon closer inspection, wow, embroidered shoes! Good heavens, it wasn't that she couldn't bear it, she simply couldn't resist!

In the end, Long Ming was kicked out of the door by Xi Ri.

It was still raining heavily outside. Long Ming stood in the rain, laughing freely, holding the embroidered shoes that had been thrown out with him in his arms, as if they were precious treasures.

Xi Ri looked at him in the rain with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, feeling utterly helpless.

Suddenly, Long Ming approached, reached out and touched Xi Ri's cheek, then let out a loud laugh, flipped over and leaped onto the roof, disappearing into the heavy rain.

Xi Ri touched her cheek, stood at the door for a long time, gazing in the direction he disappeared, and couldn't help but blush.

————————

That night was either endless or incredibly eventful. Not long after Long Ming left, the heavy rain turned into a drizzle. Ming Lu came again to bring her a blanket, saying it was a pleasant autumn day.

Minglu left, and Fu Jin came again, claiming it was to apologize for his recklessness earlier. Why didn't he apologize when he first arrived? His reason was: he forgot. No sincerity!

After a night of turmoil, she didn't get much sleep before being woken up again, told it was time to set off.

I couldn't sleep all night.

But she wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night.

The lingering presence of Minglu.
