Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 67

There was an update last night, don't forget to check it out!

Tonight, this young master was dressed very flamboyantly, in a white robe embroidered with large red flowers. It was quite tacky, but on him, it looked good, making him appear even more graceful under the moonlight. Those who saw him couldn't help but look again and again.

The man sat high on the roof, maintaining his usual thieving demeanor. No one knew when he had arrived, but he seemed to have been there for a while, undoubtedly spying on her and eavesdropping on her conversations. He always appeared and disappeared without a trace; anyone with a weak heart or a slightly timid nature would be terrified by him.

Upon hearing the voices of outsiders, Tian Shuang and Tian Yong immediately came out to investigate. Seeing that it was Long Ming, they silently retreated back inside.

Xi Ri ignored the person on the rooftop and continued, "I do..."

"What are you willing to do?" was interrupted again.

"I do..."

"I'm not willing yet." She was interrupted again.

Xi Ri, unable to bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and glared back, her eyes filled with daggers, her expression clearly saying: If you interrupt me again, you'll be sorry!

"Would you rather wash his socks or empty his chamber pot?" Long Shao said leisurely, "Don't get too excited, I don't agree with either of those."

"Heavens above! Why isn't it him lying on the bed, struggling to survive?" Xi Ri said, pointing at Long Ming on the roof with a headache.

"If you were to repay me with your body, I'd be willing to lie on the bed and make a death-defying struggle." He suddenly leaped off the roof, landing right in front of her, and squatted down to meet her eyes.

"Get out of my way, don't get in my way," Xi Ri said irritably.

"What are you willing to do?" he asked, but she looked at him with disdain and disgust. He cautiously asked, "Would you repay me with your body?" A look of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if she hadn't thought of that word herself. She continued to look at him with disdain. He was overjoyed and asked again, "No? Then what is it?" She continued to look at him with disgust, refusing to tell him what it was. He happily laughed and said, "As long as it's not repaying me with my body, I can accept anything else. Tell me, I'm willing to listen."

"You can handle it? What's it to you? Get out of the way." Xi Ri was furious. She was already annoyed, and his arrival only made her more annoyed.

"Okay." He indeed darted over and squatted down next to her.

"Stay away from me."

No, I'm right here.

"You're so annoying! Get away from me, do you hear me!" Xi Ri pushed him hard, but to her surprise, the guy seemed to be stuck to the ground and she couldn't move him no matter what she did.

"I didn't hear you!" he shouted, immediately enraging her!

In a fit of rage, he struck out, and the man raised his arm to take the blow. Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, he stood up and ran. Xi Ri chased after him and saw two figures, a man and a woman, running in circles in a small courtyard under the moonlight, leaves fluttering in the breeze. One was in front, holding her head, while the other followed behind, swinging her sleeves. They ran round and round, sometimes in a circular route, sometimes in an S-shape, forming a Bagua diagram...

However, she didn't notice that just moments ago, a faint red flower had appeared on his right arm, vibrant and blood-red. He, however, remained calm, watching her chase and fight him, a beautiful smile blooming on his face. He seemed to have completely forgotten the pain of his reopened wound, because nothing was more important than relieving her of her worries…

Finally exhausted from chasing, she sat down on the ground, panting.

He jumped to her side and looked at her carefully. He laughed and said, "To be honest, you and your sister really don't look alike, but your sister looks a lot like my mother."

"Your mother?" This startled Xi Ri. Xi Yun looked like Long Ming's mother.

Long Ming nodded and smiled slightly, "I never expected your sister to look so much like my mother. And back then, my mother was also a huge fan of my father; she said she was his biggest fan."

"Fans?" Xi Ri was even more puzzled now. Long Ming's mother said she was a fan of Long Ming's father—was she a sweet potato fan or a potato fan? This was really strange.

"It's a long story, and it's too cold on the ground. Let's go up to the roof and talk about it while we look at the stars. How romantic that would be!" Without waiting for Xi Ri's agreement, he grabbed Xi Ri by the collar and took her to the roof.

It had been a long time since he had pulled her collar. Although there had been a few opportunities to practice, Xi Ri still couldn't get used to this gesture.

He almost couldn't breathe because his collar was stuck, and he collapsed on the roof, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Young Master Long took the opportunity to say quite a bit: "My mother is a very lovely woman. She was captivated by my father the first time she met him."

Xi Ri thought to himself: Long Ming's father must be a handsome man, no wonder his mother fell in love with him at first sight.

Then Long Ming continued, "Later, my mother began to pursue my father madly. Every night, she would play the zither and sing love songs behind the small building where my father lived. At that time, this caused a sensation throughout Jiangnan and became a famous sight in Suzhou."

Xi Ri was astonished and thought to himself: His mother is indeed an extraordinary woman! No wonder she gave birth to such a son. I admire her!

Long Ming continued, "Moreover, at that time, my mother was disfigured and became a very ugly woman. Many people looked down on her. She suffered a lot and endured a lot of gossip. But even so, my mother never gave up. She continued to pursue my father and finally moved him and won him over!" Long Ming made a grabbing motion.

Xi Ri continued in surprise: What a formidable woman!

Looking at Xi Ri's slightly open mouth, her eyes sparkling with surprise, Long Ming said proudly, "That's why I've admired my mother very much since I was a child. But because she was in poor health, she seemed to know that she wouldn't live much longer, so she loved and cared for me very much during her lifetime. When she passed away, I was still young, and I cried every day just to see her again."

Long Ming's expression darkened as he spoke.

Xi Ri also felt saddened, saddened by the fact that she had no chance to meet such a powerful woman, and she also understood why Long Ming had suddenly left with Tian Xi Yun yesterday.

Long Ming continued, "However, your sister is a different person after all. Although she looks a lot like my mother, she is not my mother. I will not treat her as my mother's shadow, because no one in this world can compare to my mother!" When talking about his mother, Long Ming always carried a hint of pride.

At this moment, Xi Ri suddenly thought of her mother, and became even more gloomy.

Seeing her looking dejected, Long Ming suddenly smiled and said, "I've already told you such a private matter, so you should tell me what you're willing to do, right?"

Xi Ri paused for a moment, then said slowly, "I just think that Ming Lu truly considers me his friend. He is loyal and righteous, and he would even sacrifice himself for his friends. But I have been deceiving him all along, trying to make him bear the blame for breaking off the engagement. Thinking about it, I feel really despicable for deceiving him like this, and I feel very guilty. So, if he pulls through this time, I am willing to stop deceiving him and personally break off the engagement. No matter what the outcome is, I will bear it all myself."

Long Ming looked at Xi Ri, smiled faintly, and asked, "The idea is correct, but it's too impulsive."

Xi Ri lowered his head, realizing that what he said was true.

Long Ming then asked, "Does Minglu really only consider you a friend?"

Xi Ri sensed a hidden meaning in his words and asked suspiciously, "Then what else could it be?"

Long Ming smiled and said, "Don't you think he likes you?"

Xi Ri burst out laughing after hearing this, "Impossible, Ming Lu wouldn't like men."

"Do you really think that Minglu never knew who you were?" Long Ming asked.
