Chapter Nine, Junior Sister (Nine)

Sheng Junshu turned his expressionless handsome face and said: "What did you say"

I made you something big, do you like it? Oh, I absolutely love it

The sky has opened, and the price is sky-high

Sitting on the closed toilet seat, I let out a breath

Hengnan silently raised her wrist, on which a thin button vine was tied. Away from the soil, the small leaves on it had all withered and curled up.

The entire sect has been reduced to rubble, leaving only a handful of people, yet they still claim to be a major faction

Yu Baihe wanted to pick it up, but before her hand could touch it, Hengnan had already pulled his hand behind his back, adopting a resistant posture. Yu Baihe then realized: "Is it tied by the boss for his wife?"

Catching a glimpse of Sheng Junshu's piercing gaze as he approached, the latter part of the sentence trailed off appropriately, and with a gulp, I walked over to pour water for Sheng Junshu

Yu Baihe thought to himself, waking up his wife, she might not be able to distinguish these colors clearly either

Yu Baihe's eyes curved with a smile. This young couple is quite charming in their affection.

*

Zhang Sen: "It's only 10 million, didn't you just give your father-in-law and mother-in-law 1.5 million..."

The two girls are still quietly debating: "Definitely not from the entertainment industry"

... ...

Hengnan stared blankly at the white rabbit pudding in the tray, which was the size of a squab, its surface smooth and glossy as if it had been glazed

The originally pale face, relying on the scattered bright red, seems to be gradually infused with vitality and soul

"You're welcome, you're welcome," the person on the other end of the microphone responded even more courteously, "We are all colleagues serving the people, so it is only right for us to provide a little convenience. At 3 PM, please have your wife prepare a two-inch bareheaded photo and other materials."

Absolutely not

Isn't that familiar? Is it a little Ming star?

Sheng Junshu pressed send, leaned back in the chair, and downed half a cup of tea: "What is so good about being the leader? It's just idleness all day long."

Yu Baihe gently called in Hengnan's ear: "Madam, Madam, do you need me to help you change your clothes?"

Yet in the dream, that self holds the person in their arms, softly soothing them, speaking words that even they cannot understand

The world seemed to fall into silence. The sound of one's own heart beating and colliding in the chest was infinitely amplified, thump, thump, thump, a kind of near-death tension and shameful exhilaration overwhelmingly overshadowed all pain

After all, he is the leader of a major sect. In the past, he would have been seated high on the platform of immortals, with hundreds of thousands of disciples lining up to massage his back and feet. Which sect leader would work overtime in the office on their wedding night

Madam, Madam ... ...

... ... buy that 999, or still 9999...

Yu Baihe supported her arm to prevent her from dropping the mirror: "Madam, do you still need to apply mascara?"

With a hoarse and mournful meow, the black cat darted like an arrow, splashing the dirty water. When the chaos settled, only the bewildered face of a thinly-clad short-haired girl remained, looking lost and anxious

The phone rang loudly. Sheng Junshu stepped into the office, picked up the landline, and said, "Hello?"

"Who says there is nothing to do?" Zhang Sen said, "That old boss from Xinggang has called me three times, offering a high price to invite you out of retirement. It would not be an exaggeration to say he has visited three times to seek you. Our Yaoshan still has a lot of business opportunities."

This sack was prepared in advance by Yu Baihe, who had previously instructed her to distribute it to the guests upon arrival

Madam

In those years, how upright and principled was the young Sheng Ge'er! Upon hearing of deceit, trickery, and the robbing of the rich to aid the poor, he would become flushed with anger, deeply resentful, his brows furrowing into a frown... That momentum of "I will not do it, and you are absolutely not allowed to do it either" has only passed a thousand years...

Sheng Junshu remained silent, as she had already begun to reply to emails with a flurry of activity: "What did you just say about the department manager?"

Madam... The hands of Yu Baihe have been meticulously cared for, with soft palms. She specializes in facial massage, and Hengnan allowed her to pamper him for an entire afternoon, feeling quite comfortable and not waking up. Now, being shaken awake by her, he was handed a makeup mirror and, in a daze, he lowered his head to gaze at his own face.

A bouquet of fresh lilies, adorned with dew, blooms in a gray glass vase. Hengnan's neck is secured by a circular neck brace, and her face is slightly tilted upwards. Her bangs are held in place with a small clip, positioned sideways towards the lilies, her eyes closed, with thick eyelashes casting a small shadow on her eyelids

Ding-dong— the doorbell rings

The people in the living room, under the invitation of Yu Baihe, slowly took their seats while she poured tea. A few female staff members gasped in surprise, saying, "Isn't this... too beautiful?"

Hengnan fell silent for a moment, lowering his eyes: "Hmm"

Yu Baihe was somewhat surprised to see her come down on her own, fearing that a mistake might occur in the midst of the busyness, and hurriedly explained: "This is our lady."

Sigh, this is truly frustrating. Yu Baihe was so anxious that she was jumping up and down, how could one blame this poor lady, "The boss is the one who caused the trouble"

Zhang Sen's sweat nearly dripped down to his chin

All, all, all

Since moving to the villa, Hengnan has made up for all the sleepless nights filled with terror from the age of sixteen until now. However, no matter how tired he is, he still possesses a basic sense of shame. With his eyes half-closed and in a daze, he grabbed the corner of the clothes in her hand. Yu Baihe smiled playfully and went out, closing the door behind her

Her forehead pressed against his neck, the boy's body radiated intense heat, mingled with the clean scent of pine resin. One hand pressed her head against his chest, the fingers, distinct and bony, hurriedly and perfunctorily rubbed through her hair, the wrist inadvertently brushing against the tip of her ear. A flash of blade appeared, the sound of wind whistled past, sharp and decisive, and then suddenly from behind came a "puff—" sound, warm blood splattering onto her skirt.

Hengnan slowly walked down. Her head was lowered, her eyes cast down, not looking at their faces, only seeing a few pairs of feet in leather shoes.

Zhang Sen felt disheartened, collapsing onto the sofa, his pair of slanted eyes listlessly gazing at the ceiling: "Why not just hire a professional manager instead."

"To share in the joy." Dizziness at the corners of the eyes

Hengnan held the dress, staring blankly at the mirror, struggling to pull down the zipper at the back of the skirt, beginning to chaotically ponder who she was, where she came from, and where she was going. Unable to find an answer, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyelids grew heavy again.

Star Harbor?" Sheng Junshu positioned himself in his mind at the city located at the edge of the territory, closed his eyes, and said, "It's too far, I won't go.

As their faces drew closer, Yu Baihe caught a faint yet refreshing scent of orchids emanating from Hengnan, which was delightful to the senses: "Oh, what is that wonderful fragrance?"

Hengnan stared at the mirror for a long time, then nodded with certainty

Such beautiful words of reminiscing about the past are merely to be heard and nothing more

Sheng Junshu looked out at the scenery and pondered for a moment: "I will draw him a talisman for the house, marking five 9s to sell to him"

Alright, goodbye. The suit was taken off and draped over the back of the chair.

Sheng Junshu listened quietly, slightly lowering her head, her eyelashes fluttering: "... then let's do it today. I will be home around 3 PM. I really appreciate your trouble."

Every woman would be swayed and captivated by such an extravagant display, yet this does not apply to Hengnan

The moment the phone was hung up, it rang again as if it had come back to life. Sheng Junshu seemed to have anticipated this, keeping his hand on the receiver without letting go, and swiftly answered, saying calmly: "Mr. Wang. Oh, this is Sheng Junshu ... ... "

Sheng Junshu stared at the screen and let out a cold smile: "Professional manager, ten million a year, can you cover for me?"

Yu Baihe cheerfully closed the door with a backhand: "Madam, there is a surprise today." She squinted and smiled, her hand reaching out from behind her.

Sheng Junshu was holding the phone, and his other hand, which was opening the computer, paused for a moment as he glanced over. Zhang Sen immediately fell silent. It wasn't until Sheng finished the entire call that Zhang Sen walked in: "This Manager Wang is really too undisciplined; why does he always call the president's office directly"

The girl in the mirror squints her eyes, her skin fair and lips red. It has been a long time since she last wore makeup, and upon a sudden glance, I almost did not recognize her

Hengnan suddenly stood up, slowly dragged a burlap sack from the corner, opened it, and took out seven or eight small pink boxes, holding them in his arms as he went downstairs.

Yu Baihe waited for a long time, but there was no movement inside. When she entered the room again, Hengnan was simply slumped over the table, unconscious. The zipper of the dark blue dress was only halfway pulled up, having been abandoned by its owner, leaving it crooked and exposing a section of her snow-white neck beneath her hair

Someone placed the pink paper box on their lap, pulled along the raised heart shape, and the box unfolded, filled to the brim with imported chocolates

In a daze, she seemed to be lying on a narrow bed, outside was the frenzied chirping of summer night insects, a chubby arm clinging to her waist, a clear and tender voice of a girl crying: "Senior sister, there are mosquitoes on the mountain, and also bedbugs. How can you sleep? I... I want to go home"

She has no doubt that if it were not for the fact that the boss married a sleep goddess, then it must be that the boss is too indulgent at night. Otherwise, how could his wife sleep all day long, have smooth and radiant skin, and look increasingly better with each sleep?

After all, these eyes were originally very exquisite, already the most striking feature on this face, adding a touch of brilliance.

Meanwhile, a surge of warmth suddenly flowed into the chest, as if wrapping the fragments, and the pain dissipated like a receding tide.

Indeed, in addition to home products, Shengxing also sells talismans and protective items in its stores, such as hanging charms, jade Pi Xiu, and crystal ornaments, with the cheapest priced at nearly 1,000 yuan. Naturally, business is quite bleak, as customers, upon seeing these items out of curiosity, pick them up only to chuckle upon seeing the price tag, often thinking that the store displays them not for sale, but rather to attract good fortune for the establishment.

Is this Mr. Sheng?

She took the initiative to choose a bright red for the big day, using her finger to shield it, and applied a little bit onto Hengnan's diamond-shaped lips.

Yu Baihe saw Hengnan stopped on the stairs, and her heart was pounding: "... Madam, are you coming down?"

Sheng Junshu's eyes were illuminated brightly by the screen, and he quietly glanced at the time in the lower right corner: "Let them sit for five minutes, I will be there shortly."

Zhang Sen appeared at the door in a hurry: "Boss, those few departments..."

What is that sound

Zhang Sen said: "No, no big deal. There was a regular meeting at 9 o'clock this morning, and since it was your first time not arriving on time, they thought something had happened."

Girls of this age still love beauty

*

Yu Baihe suppressed a smile as she lifted her face: "Madam, please do not move. I said to open your eyes, so open your eyes."

You are still unable to deal with this vengeful spirit, do not act rashly

After sleeping for half a month, my wife's dark circles have faded to the point where they are almost unnoticeable

I look like.

Yu Baihe smiled brilliantly, her wrist flicked, and Hengnan's eyes blinked, fixated on the giant rabbit that rolled and tumbled like waves in a grotesque manner

"Madam is not ill..." She vaguely heard a certain judgment, one that she had heard for the past twenty years, affirming that she was not ill.

On a rainy night, she held an umbrella, aimlessly following the gaze of every passerby whose shoulders glowed, wandering the streets without purpose. She suspected that in her past life, she must have been a wild cat living in a drainage pipe, for how else could she possess an innate instinct for mere survival?

"Let us bask in a bit more joy." With eager anticipation, they pounce with enthusiasm.

Sheng Junshu turned the office chair towards the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression inscrutable. After a while, he glanced over with some confusion and said, "If he has money, let him buy a talisman."

Everyone was busy and clumsily twisted one, peeled it, and ate it in their mouths: "How polite."

Upon hearing the sound of a bug, Hengnan felt her hair stand on end; she had been afraid of bugs since childhood. She reached out her hand and touched a fuzzy little head, along with a plump cheek.

Her hand unconsciously tightened around the warming jade, gripping it tighter and tighter as if she intended to crush it, yet it gradually cooled down

Zhang Sen stood up with a righteous expression: "No, one does not know the cost of rice, oil, and salt without being in charge of the household. I will go and mark those five nines right away."

Oh, wedding candies.

After preparing for a few seconds, I raised my hands and saw them empty, so I pulled those hands up and stuffed the small box in my arms into their hands: "Thank you"

The city under the neon lights, with countless flickering lights from thousands of homes, the continuous flow illuminated by the streetlights of Liuchuan, and the landmark tower in the center of Qinghe City, shines brilliantly in the night.

Zhang Sen: "People and the renminbi are indeed the poison that corrodes the soul"

She astutely identifies the outliers in the crowd that are advantageous to her, seeking the protection of the sun's rays

Hengnan suddenly sat up, as if awakening from a nightmarish chill, with the sounds of all things flooding into his ears

Somehow, their laughter gradually diminished, leaving only the sound of her own dry and cold voice. Hengnan felt a sweat break out on his back, growing increasingly anxious and quickening his pace, until he finished all seven, placing the remaining one on the coffee table, and turned around to head towards the bathroom with a sense of relief.

As time rewinds and the winds of fate shift, countless bamboo leaves rustle, and the sounds of weapons clash. Someone calls out "Hengnan," and a hand grabs her arm and pulls her back with great force. She stumbles a few steps, unprepared, and crashes into his embrace.

Pulling open the drawer, the various high-end lipsticks arranged on the shelf are categorized by shade number, lined up like a set of watercolor paints.

A group of individuals in black uniforms stood haphazardly among a tangle of wires in the living room, pausing their actions, exchanging glances, and looking up at her with curiosity and restraint

Yu Baihe held her waist with one hand and grabbed her shoulder with the other, pulling her out from under the blanket: "Madam, there are important matters this afternoon, you cannot continue sleeping."

Here they come... Yu Baihe put down her tools and hurried downstairs. After a while, a commotion arose on the first floor, with calls and laughter from more than one person. These individuals were busily carrying something, including cameras, lighting boards, and heavy tools with electric wires.

The water on the road lay still like a bright mirror, and as I gently stepped over it with a "splash," the shattered reflection trembled before gradually settling into calmness. In the reflection, a young girl in a double-layered long skirt, with dark hair pinned askew with a wooden hairpin, walked by slowly. Beneath her skirt, a yellow oval lamp glowed, and the tassels under the lamp floated up like clouds and mist.

When Hengnan was awakened by Yu Baihe, a ray of sunlight was falling on her brow. She squinted her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering repeatedly, completely devoid of focus

Hengnan paused on the stairs, suddenly confronted by so many strangers, his heart raced wildly
