Middle Ear (2)

en in our family so steadfast in their love, even knowing there's a risk of widowhood, loneliness, and hardshipMy brother said discontentedly, "That old geezer is stirring up emotions again! He made Q...I silently complained in my heart: You do have an eye for talent, knowing that Jiang Qiyun is the truly capable one. The question is, would he be willing to come

Teacher Xiaowang quickly said, "I know that asking someone to look at the house requires giving a red envelope. I didn't have time to give it to you last time, so I'll give it to you all together this time."

"...No need, I'll take a look for you. If there's nothing wrong, that's fine. If you need to ward off bad luck and purify your home, just visit my shop."

She was so happy that I agreed, and asked me to remove her from the blacklist and then set a time to meet.

"Go at night," I said without thinking, because Jiang Qiyun only appears at night.

"Huh Evening It's pretty late, isn't it"

"...I'll ask my boyfriend tonight..." I almost blurted out 'husband'.

Teacher Xiaowang smiled mysteriously: "Oh, I understand. I'm really envious of you. At the best age, you can meet a lover who suits your heart. Unlike me, I didn't meet someone who is both compatible and trustworthy until I was over thirty."

I don't want to comment on Teacher Xiaowang's personal preferences. I used to look down on her for dating that wealthy man before, but now that she's married a man with similar tastes and living her own life, it's none of my business how they treat each other.

Although this somewhat perverse masochistic love still violates the taboo of evil adultery, the karmic obstacles will only increase.

As expected, the moment I told Jiang Qiyun about this, his face instantly turned cold.

"What does it matter to you There are so many other mages out there, why choose you specifically Didn't I already give her the Shen family's number" He frowned displeasuredly.

"Shen Qingrui's fees for a consultation start at seven figures. Who among ordinary people could afford that" I muttered.

When I mentioned Shen Qingrui, Jiang Qiyun's face turned even colder.

I continued to throw stones and said, “She is highly skilled in the Dao, your refined soul, and a top talent from the Shen family. No one would dare to bother her lightly… As for me, as you said, with my meager talent, I might as well just look after the house. After all, you’re too lazy to teach me.”

"Mu Xiaqiao, dare you stab me in the back" Jiang Qoyun looked at me coldly.

I stuck out my tongue and said, "This is clearly blowing smoke up your skirt, how did it become hiding a needle in cotton"

He frowned, his face a mask of reluctance.

"If you don't go with me, I'll have my brother come with me... It's okay if the house has problems, but those two little ancestors aren't exactly lacking in a negative energy environment, are they That's why every time there's evil spirit energy, both little ancestors get so excited..."

Jiang Qiyun's eyebrows jumped: "Mu Xiaoqiao! Don't go to dangerous places on purpose for the sake of the child!"

"What danger could there be in looking at an old house It's just a few ghosts, and I'm not afraid anymore."

He gritted his teeth and pinched my chin hard: "You're getting bolder!"

He seemed to agree to go with me, right

So I called Teacher Xiao Wang and, by the way, checked the traffic routes on my computer.

A bunch of ancient town travel links popped up on the webpage. I clicked through them one by one while chatting with Teacher Xiaowang on the phone.

The result was a pop-up ad that played a promotional video for a game in the player. The sound was deafening, so I just closed it.

But—

I forgot the playback history in the player...

Suddenly, the homepage of the player was filled with a piece of flesh color. The mosaic "pa pa pa," and the woman's "hmm hmm ah ah," made me froze at once.

It took three seconds for my brain to remember this was a tutorial video my brother made for me!

Teacher Xiao Wang was laughing so hard her stomach hurt over there, saying over and over again: “Sorry, sorry, I’ve delayed your young people's date time. Well, I'll wait for you tomorrow night. I also want to make love with my husband, see you tomorrow.”

Before she hung up, I could still hear her stifled laughter on the other end.

I'm so embarrassed!

It's all my fault for watching the tutorial videos he made. It turned out to be a super long and amazing compilation, cutting out the beginning and end, with a curated selection of different kinds of intimate moments. Luckily, it was coded, so I could manage to watch half of it. The rest, I just closed it and forgot about it.

Now, Teacher Xiao Wang must think we're watching porn and having sex together. So embarrassing!

Uh, we together...

I turned to Jiang Qiyun, my head covered in goosebumps.

He sat on the windowsill, one leg bent, a long leg lazily stretched down. He had been fiddling with my compass a moment ago, now he…

Those icy black eyes narrowed slightly, and I vaguely saw the dark gold irises dim. A chilling smile played at the corners of his thin lips.

Are you angry

I swallowed nervously and quickly explained, "My brother said..."

"What" he asked in a low voice.

What should I say Repeat what my brother said He's putting me down, isn't he Should I say that I only lie there and do nothing, only passively cooperate, and don't understand any techniques

This feels like I'm being overly proactive…

"What are you saying" he asked again, his voice hardening.

I felt a little choked up when he yelled at me. I whispered back, "My brother said I'm dumb and don't understand these things. Since I don't have Mom to whisper secrets with, he just gave me educational videos for me to watch on my own. I couldn't bear watching halfway through."

I'm an adult, even if I really take a look at this, you wouldn't yell at me, would you...

Jiang Qiyun placed the small compass on the table and closed his laptop, the exaggerated, ear-splitting noise abruptly ceasing.

The atmosphere was icy.

If it were just an ordinary couple or boyfriend and girlfriend, they wouldn't react this way, right

Why are you looking at me like that...

Until bedtime, I remained alone against the wall, quietly clutching my blanket with unbearable dejection. After Jiang Qiyun came back, he softly said in my ear, "You don't need to do these things that humiliate yourself."

"I... I don't want to learn these. It's just that I feel like I should try being more proactive." I whispered, covering my face with my hand.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be tired after torturing me for so long, while I am exhausted!

Jiang Qiyun chuckled softly: "Then you can tell me, we..."

How are we doing

He smiled, but didn't say more.

>>

The next evening, around seven o'clock, we arrived at the ancient town. The night view here was very beautiful, and many people came here to stay and relax.

The blue brick and gray tile rooftops, the small bridge flowing water, the fragrance of tea wafting everywhere, and the brilliant lights twinkling.

I suddenly felt like I had traveled through time.

When Jiang Qiyun led me across a small bridge, he suddenly laughed and said, "Such a tiny bridge."

"Huh" I turned my head to look at him.

He suddenly leaned down and kissed her lightly, repeating softly, “Xiao Qiao…”

This guy...

"My, my, the two of you... truly a sight to behold." Teacher Xiaowang was waiting for us at the entrance of the inn across the bridge. Jiang Qiyun rarely transformed into his physical form, but when he did, he drew an abundance of stares. I quickly pulled him into the courtyard to avoid the attention.

This courtyard is somewhat aged, a three-story building behind a moon-shaped gate with rooms on three sides.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me and whispered, "There's a death aura here, and that room should be the ear room—"ceful upward motion.This force wasn't painful at all, but the fat deadbeat actually stiffened and tilted!He was going to fall—"...Long Xiaoge, plane, cough cough cough... opportunity—" My voice was...
