Chapter 2, Gentle Hometown, Stinky Poop

He cast a disdainful glance at me and scoffed, "A money-grubber! Would I be so vulgar? Inside here are cherry pits"

What?

What? Accumulated for four years

I went to the gentle abode today specifically to get this. The top courtesan inside only uses this, specially purchased from the capital, and just a small box of rouge costs twenty taels of silver

He glanced at me, lowered his eyelids to wipe the sword in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I have accumulated this, accumulated it for four years"

I said openly: "Oh, it's nothing, even if you sent it to me yesterday, I would not misunderstand."

No wonder Brother He, with such small eyes, can still see him

Seventh Master, do not worry, I have seen nothing but your teeth, you are one with the night.

The master's eyes suddenly brightened, resembling two small lanterns

He whispered: "Red beans"

I sincerely thank you: "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for the gift on my coming-of-age ceremony"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I didn't go in."

It is what I have concealed in my small bundle

A hairpin, a gold lock, and four pieces of clothing

He let out a "humph" and left with a flick of his sleeve

Senior Brother Zhao Yebai immediately stood on tiptoe, resting his hand on the awning

What else is there

I followed the chubby fingers of Brother He Xiaole and saw a tall and graceful figure walking out from the entrance of the gentle abode

The next morning, I suddenly remembered a question. Where did these cherry pits come from? How many cherries would it take to have so many pits?

The master furrowed his brows and looked at me, both amused and exasperated: "You really are stirring up trouble where there is none. Your Seventh Master Uncle has just been abandoned by Lady Lin because of his dark complexion, and he is in a very bad mood, which is why he went to take a shower to clear his head"

When I arrived at the place, I realized that it was indeed a steaming hot steamer, where the local folk were at their peak. The garden was dotted with restaurants, tea houses, theaters, pastry shops, and there was even a brothel named "Gentle Abode"

Jiang Chen gazed at me deeply for a moment, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Then, he pressed his lips together, lowering his head to stifle a laugh, as if he were struggling to hold it in, his face slightly pale.

I was astonished! Something I would never have dreamed of happened just like that, in broad daylight, like a bolt from the blue

I found it quite baffling, and let out a couple of sighs while looking at his stiff back. He remained oblivious and left with a wave of his sleeve

However, I searched the house for half a day, only to find that I had nothing of value to return to him

That young master, why does he look like Brother Jiang?

Female department

As soon as I saw this small bundle, it seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had just emerged from a gentle abode, holding this in his hand

I was momentarily confused; does this count as him assaulting me, or me assaulting him? Or is it mutual assault?

Brother He Xiaole's originally joyful eyes turned into a line. Later, seeing that I was indeed eating a bit too much, he couldn't help but advise me: "Xiao Mo, can you really eat so much? Although it is Brother Jiang's money being spent, wasting is always undesirable"

Upon arriving at the restaurant, I ordered the most expensive dishes on the menu with great enthusiasm, filling an entire table. Hmph, I will spend all his money, leaving him with nothing to indulge in.

I looked at my toes, remaining silent. In my heart, although Jiang Chen is not Liu Xia Hui, he has surprisingly become a figure of charm in the land of flowers and brocade, which makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

I thought for a moment and replied: "Half a year"

These two senior brothers took it upon themselves to handle the daily expenses of the Xiaoyao Sect, so they are as familiar with every nook and cranny of Kangle City as they are with their own fingers. My master asked them to take me to some fun places to relax, and as a result, they brought me to the places they deemed enjoyable

I didn't say anything. I chuckled and ran into the master's room

He Xiaole said: "We saw you come out from inside with our own eyes"

Senior Brother Zhao Yebai said very seriously: "Senior Brother Jiang, Master strictly prohibits entering casinos and brothels"

I was surprised to see that the master’s face turned red. In fact, he is not old at all, being only forty years of age

Thinking back over the past few years, Jiang Chen has given me the same thing every year on my birthday. Although it is not valuable, at least he remembers my birthday, while I cannot even recall his birthday.

It is impolite not to reciprocate; I have been impolite to him for many years, and it is time to show some acknowledgment

I remembered to ask him about his business, so I inquired, "Where did all those cherry pits come from?"

Behind him stood several gentle young women, and at a glance, I was instantly chilled to the bone. It was still spring, yet they were dressed in a way that revealed their arms and legs, truly unafraid of the cold

He said solemnly: "Of course. If you don't believe it, you can go ask."

I could not keep my thoughts to myself and immediately ran to ask Jiang Chen

Oh, I see. It reminds me of the past when he also gave me a box of such rouge, but I and Yunzhou thought it had been used and left it at the bottom of the box. Alas, Yunzhou and I are indeed both unrefined people; with just a cursory glance, we assumed it was used by that girl, never considering that there were two small characters on the rouge.

I stared blankly at his handsome face and tall, upright figure, unable to help but worry for him. After coming out from that wild and chaotic place filled with revelry, is his innocence still intact

Pillow

The master paused and said: "In fact, the Chongshan Sword Technique requires both men and women to practice together, complementing each other in order to achieve invincibility in the world. It is said that the Sword God Chongshan and his wife created this sword technique with the intention of passing it down to their descendants, so that couples can work together harmoniously and maintain a peaceful household"

I quickly lowered my head, as Uncle Seven was covering his chest with his clothing. Alas, it is only April, and he is already taking a cold shower at the well platform with his upper body bare. I truly admire him, truly admire him!

I took the peace gold lock to the front yard, and to prevent any formidable senior brothers from being like Master Uncle Seven, I specifically knocked on the big door

Senior Brother Zhao Yebai scratched his head in confusion and said: "Xiao Mo, do you mean to say that the women from brothels are all good choices, while virtuous women are all worthless?"

He cleared his throat and said: "Well, don't you know? If one presents a girl with a gift for her coming-of-age ceremony, it signifies the intention to marry her. Therefore, I did not give a gift yesterday to avoid any misunderstanding."

I shot a glare at Jiang Chen, with three witnesses, yet he still refuses to admit it, humph

Looking at a table full of delicious dishes, I feel a bit out of sorts. Alas, I truly am someone who tends to worry. He can be carefree, but why should I feel upset on his behalf? I am not his mother, so why should I concern myself with so much? Yet, even though I clearly understand this reasoning, I stubbornly refuse to let go of this feeling, just like a mule.

I widened my eyes, Jiang Chen! He, he actually entered the gentle village

Senior Brother He Xiaole ran over in the dark to open the door. Upon seeing me, he was taken aback and said, "Yun Mo, when did you become so distant and polite with us? You even knocked on the door when you came here!"

He smiled and nodded at me, saying: "Is it not delicious?"

Jiang Chen tugged at my sleeve and said softly, "Xiao Mo, I will take you all to eat something delicious"

He seemed dissatisfied and frowned as he asked, "How often is occasionally?"

What is this about! I exclaimed with wide eyes: "I just have a rounder face, am I really that fat?" Speaking of this matter, I feel a bit wronged; a round face simply does not look as slim as an oval face.

I chuckled and said, "I have never heard of a pillow made from cherry pits. In fact, I also like the more common ones."

I lazily said: "Master, I do not intend to be invincible in the world, you may keep this sword manual."

A person of his charm and charisma will surely attract the attention of many in the future, but I cannot keep him in check. I prefer a life of ease and tranquility. Therefore, I will not misunderstand anyone, nor will I take him as my choice. Yesterday, my master asked me to select someone I liked, and he was the first to be eliminated from my consideration.

Are you really going to get this

Seventh Master Uncle snorted: "Xiao Mo, you are not allowed to come to the courtyard after dark in the future"

I was quite astonished upon hearing this name! I did not expect such elegance and nobility in this place, akin to the purest of spring and snow. I am filled with trepidation, unsure if my attire is suitable for such a refined and lofty setting

Jiang Chen pressed his lips together and nodded in a "serious" manner to express his agreement, yet his eyes were filled with a mischievous glint

Among many men, I stand out like a rare flower

Is there such a person? They give me something and then take it back; isn't this a form of teasing?

What is this

Just call me Jiang Chen, isn't it tiring for you to call four characters?" He glanced at me and walked away with his hands behind his back

He furrowed his brows and retorted, "Really?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback and looked over at us

This set of carefree sword techniques concludes with the move "Long River Setting Sun"; as the long sword is drawn back, the killing intent instantly dissipates

Senior Brother He Xiaole and Senior Brother Zhao Yebai immediately stopped using their chopsticks, making a disgusted and retching expression

Although this gift is a day late, I am still very touched. He specifically ventured into a perilous place, risking his safety to procure such a wonderful item for me from the jaws of danger. I must express my gratitude for this heartfelt gesture

I sighed sincerely while holding the pillow, saying: "Brother Jiang Chen, you are truly wonderful"

I leaned against a large bamboo and watched him, momentarily unable to interrupt. My master often said that my sword techniques were orderly and precise, but what I lacked was momentum and speed. He frequently had me observe Yun Zhou and Jiang Hao; it seems I watched Yun Zhou more than Jiang Hao. Today, as I calmed my mind and looked closely, I realized that he was not much inferior to Senior Brother Yun Zhou.

The master stood in a daze with the sword manual for quite some time; I had never seen him so lost and disheveled before. Indeed, as a martial artist, he was unable to maintain his composure upon encountering a peerless sword manual

I do not want it, yet my master insists that I take it back. After some thought, I realized that this is the sword manual of the female division, which would be of no use to my master, so I reluctantly tucked it into my bosom.

I nodded slightly, then pointed at the various dishes on the table and said to Jiang Chen: "Look at these dishes, some are meat, some are vegetarian, some are salty, some are sweet, some are red, some are green, some are long, some are round, they all have different shapes and flavors, and they are all very delicious. However, no matter what you eat, once it enters your stomach, after a day, it all turns into foul excrement in the toilet."

I am speechless

He lifted his gaze and glanced at me sideways: "I have always been well, haven't you noticed?"

I had not paid any attention to Jiang Chen for a day, perhaps he himself felt it was a bit excessive. On the fourth day after my birthday, he suddenly had a whim and sent me an extremely "unique" birthday gift, a pillow

Seeing that I was listless and lacking in spirit, the master instructed Senior Brothers He Xiaole and Zhao Yebai to take me down the mountain for a change of scenery

Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Xiao Mo, you truly are a perceptive and exquisite person."

I excitedly hugged the pillow and returned to my room, and that night I made use of it

I returned to the mountain, filled with anger

I certainly know it is a pillow, but what is so heavy inside this pillow? Ah, could it be gold?

The cherry pits must be dried thoroughly after boiling, but it has been cloudy these past few days, which is why the delivery was delayed. In fact, the value of a gift does not lie in its expense, nor in the timing; what truly matters is the sentiment behind it. Don't you agree? He rarely spoke so earnestly, wearing an expression of deep affection and sincerity, as if I were his confidant and closest friend

I gazed at the large, gilded characters of "Gentleman's Paradise" across the street, and then at the few elegantly curved young ladies. Suddenly, a flurry of thoughts surged through my mind, accompanied by a strange feeling that I could not quite articulate

What is it

I smiled as I opened the rouge box, but upon looking under the light, I frowned again

A gentle breeze wafts through the bamboo grove, the bamboo leaves rustling softly, further enhancing the tranquility by the stream.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice: "The Heavy Mountain Sword Technique, also known as the Mandarin Duck Sword Technique, is divided into two parts: one for women and one for men. Why is there only one part here?"

After I humbly enjoyed the finest Longjing tea and the best pastries, Senior Brother Zhao Yebai said: "Xiao Mo, are you going to see the play? I heard that 'The West Chamber' is being performed today"

I excitedly took the sword manual and went to find my master

"Xiao Mo, do you think I am dark?"

This is indeed a good idea. However, I have neither a family nor anyone to practice with. Therefore, this sword manual is of no use to me

I would naturally not ask, but I felt a sudden sense of comfort in my heart. The evening breeze blew in through the window, and the candlelight flickered slightly. He stood in front of the lamp, resembling a pearl covered in dust, as the dust scattered with the wind, revealing a taste of purity and clarity, shining brilliantly

Upon hearing this name, my heart instantly blossomed with joy, and I immediately resolutely followed Senior Brother Zhao Yebai to the theater.

Thinking of this, I felt a twinge of regret towards Jiang Chen, as it seemed I had been misunderstanding him all along

He paused for a moment and said softly: "This is not a hairpin gift"

In no time, the splendid performance began. I was particularly engrossed, planning to learn from the tricks of the matchmaker, so that I could wholeheartedly play the role of a matchmaker for Yunzhou in the future. However, after watching the play, I had a profound realization: if one encounters a bold young lady and gentleman, the matchmaker may actually be superfluous. Especially at critical moments, it is essential to withdraw gracefully after achieving success; otherwise, one may become unwelcome.

Especially at critical moments, it is essential to withdraw gracefully after achieving success; otherwise, one may become unwelcome.

Jiang Chen curled his lips into a slight smile and said to me, "Xiao Mo, I am going in to find someone to get something, not to have fun inside"

Nonsense, that is the width of the clothing! The Xiaoyao Sect, in order to highlight the two characters "Xiaoyao", has designed the clothing to be relatively loose, hence I feel a bit swayed while wrapped inside.

I took the small bundle from his hands, and upon opening it, I was surprised to find a delicate makeup box, complete with rouge, powder, eyebrow powder, and floral decorations.

Does this count as an affront? I glared at him, secretly gritting my teeth, contemplating whether to stomp on his foot or kick his leg

Am I still able to deceive you? Alas, your ten masters are like ancient iron trees that have stood for a thousand years; now only your seventh uncle still has a chance to bloom, but even that is fading.

"Xiao Mo." Master gently called my name and patted my head. I was a bit surprised; since I turned twelve, Master had not shown me such intimate gestures. What has happened today? His gaze is particularly different, and I find it somewhat incomprehensible.

He is practicing swordsmanship by the bamboo forest on the back mountain, with the hem of his clothes tucked into his waist, exuding a heroic and elegant demeanor. In fact, to be honest, there is never a moment when he is not graceful; even when scolding others, he still carries an air of commanding authority.

I cast a regretful glance at the two senior brothers and then said to Jiang Chen: "What I mean is, although the women there are diverse in appearance and charm, their essence is still that of a woman. You must not be infatuated with mere appearances. It is better to obediently live with a virtuous woman."

He looked at me with disdain and said, "You country bumpkin, these are just two small characters."

The master said: "This is your item, take good care of it yourself. When you have free time, you can practice with it; it may prove useful in the future"

One evening, feeling idle, I opened a small slit in my pillow under the light and poured out a few cherry pits from inside. The cherry pits were clean and a pale milky white, resembling irregular little pearls. I held a few pits in the palm of my hand, overwhelmed with emotion. Because, throughout my life, I have never received such a thoughtful gift. My master often says that I am easily moved and easily satisfied, and indeed, this is true, for it is only in this way that I can suppress the hidden pain of my background deep within my heart. Because, throughout my life, I have never received such a thoughtful gift. My master often says that I am easily moved and easily satisfied, and indeed, this is true, for it is only in this way that I can suppress the hidden pain of my background deep within my heart

As soon as He Xiaole heard that there was food, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, we won't tell Master, will we, Xiao Mo?"

I looked at his back and secretly regretted it. Honesty is a good virtue, but sometimes a little white lie out of kindness is necessary. Seeing the suave and dashing Brother Jiang turned stiff as a bamboo pole due to my anger, I felt truly guilty in my heart

He took a long breath, then sighed deeply, looking at me with a gaze filled with disappointment as if I were a piece of iron that could not be forged into steel. After a while, he said: "Do you know the poem by Wang Wei? 'Red beans grow in the southern country, when spring comes, they sprout a few branches. I urge you to gather more, for this is the most reminiscent of longing.' These red beans, known as rouge, are not the kind used for making porridge." After finishing, he muttered again, "No sense of humor"

Senior Brother Zhao earnestly advised: "Xiao Mo, summer is approaching. Although our clothing in the Xiaoyao Sect is loose and does not reveal our figures, we must not underestimate ourselves or fall into despair. We should exercise moderation in our eating, yes, moderation."

I said anxiously: "Senior brother, just the usual will suffice"

What characters? I leaned closer to the light and indeed saw two faint traces of characters.

In addition to the Peaceful Gold Lock, there was an additional jade hairpin and a sword manual. I had little interest in the hairpin, but when I picked up the sword manual and glanced at the characters on it, I nearly cried out in surprise; it was actually the Chongshan Sword Technique! I could hardly believe it, this manual, which had been lost for forty years and was said to be unparalleled in the world, had actually appeared in my hands

Jiang Chen poked my arm and said with a smile, "I will treat you to a meal"

I looked at him curiously and asked: "Is it red beans for cooking porridge?"

I hurriedly said: "I am serious, this is not flattery"

The Xiaoyao Sect consists of four courtyards. The master and the uncles reside in the central courtyard, I live in the rear courtyard, and the senior brothers live in the front courtyard

He chuckled softly, and suddenly extended his arm to wrap around my waist

He stands tall and graceful, exuding elegance and charm, and among a street full of ordinary men, he is strikingly eye-catching, like a crane standing among chickens

The master, with a flushed face, looked around nervously and coughed a few times before saying: "Do you have something to discuss with me?"

In fact, I am also quite curious about who sends the bundle every year and what my relationship is with that person. Looking at the items in the bundle, they are worth some money, so the sender's family background should not be poor; it certainly cannot be that I was abandoned due to an inability to support myself. Could it be that I have an identity that cannot be revealed? One that is unacceptable to society? Just thinking about this sends a sharp pang to my heart, and I dare not think any further.

I cannot help but praise: "Brother Jiang Chen, your swordsmanship has become increasingly exquisite."

The door opened, and the light in the room suddenly dazzled my eyes. What was even more blinding was that Jiang Chen was only wearing an undershirt! Moreover, the collar was loosely pulled open, revealing a small portion of his chest. He was tall, and the exposed skin was just at eye level with me. The light was relatively bright, and his skin tone was not dark, so the exposed area of skin could not blend into the night at all; I could see it very clearly. He was tall, and the exposed skin was just at eye level with me. The light was relatively bright, and his skin tone was not dark, so the exposed area of skin could not blend into the night at all; I could see it very clearly.

The thought that he is no longer pure and unblemished makes me somewhat melancholic, as I pick at the lamp's wick and ignore him

Is it true?

I let out a light scoff: "It seems that someone still wants me to master the unparalleled swordsmanship, truly a labor of love."

As I walked with my head lowered towards the master's room, I kindly reminded him, "Seventh Uncle, be careful not to catch a cold and suffer from chronic leg pain."

He Xiaole patted his pocket and said: "Master has allocated special funds, you can rest assured and enjoy it, Xiao Mo."

Master, I feel that your chances of blossoming are quite high

Is this the male section or the female section

This place is called Yuyuqinghuan Garden

I understand this principle; everything has its pros and cons. If you gain its benefits, you must also bear its drawbacks, as there is no reason to take advantage of everything. If you regard this item as more important than life itself, it will become the root of trouble. However, if you see it as an ordinary booklet, it can even serve as makeshift toilet paper in times of need

I rushed into the courtyard, pushed open the gate, and walked in, only to hear a piercing scream.

I was annoyed, picked up my chopsticks and tapped his bowl, saying: "Am I not speaking correctly?"

Halfway through the meal, I couldn't help but put down my chopsticks and looked at Jiang Chen, asking, "What do you think of these dishes?"

Upon seeing my master’s face flushed and exceptionally handsome, I continued to fan the flames by saying: "Master, you are not only handsome and good-looking but also highly skilled in martial arts; not getting married is truly a great regret in the martial world"

He sighed softly, saying: "Xiao Mo, you must not tell anyone about having the sword manual. Keep it well. This item is both a rare treasure and a source of trouble."

At last, my gaze fell upon that bundle. In the past couple of days, I had been so busy that I completely forgot about throwing the bundle away. I stared at it blankly for a while, thought it over, and ultimately decided to open it; after all, I could give the small golden peace lock inside to Jiang Chen, which would still be worth a few coins

Jiang Chen turned around and lightly said, "Xiao Mo, when you compliment someone, it seems like your tongue is borrowed; it doesn't flow very smoothly."

This Jade Universe of Joy encompasses food, drink, entertainment, and leisure, where the gentle surroundings are vibrant and colorful; thus, the garden is almost continuously filled with men.

Master, take a look at this. I remembered something important and hurriedly handed the Chongshan Sword Technique to Master

He walked over with a smile, patted the large bamboo behind me, and said, "This bamboo is really sturdy, supporting you for so long, how has it not broken yet?"

Seventh Master Qi exclaimed in exasperation: "Xiao Mo, why did you enter the courtyard without knocking?"

Ah?

Indeed, it is a guilty conscience that drives one to bribe us. I let out a heavy snort.

Thank you

Could it be that I used to swagger in and out of here without a care? I chuckled twice and went straight to Jiang Chen's door, knocking twice in a rather "unfamiliar" manner.

I responded with a sound, and said with great seriousness: "I occasionally feel that way."

I stood with my hands on my hips, fuming, and called on Xiaohubao to take a walk in the back mountain to vent my anger

Jiang Chen looked at me with a smile, showing no signs of feeling sorry for the money. Hmph, even a miser has moments when they can be plucked.

Senior Brother Zhao Yebai nodded silently

It is night, and I fear that I am dreaming. I bit my tongue, and it hurt! I rubbed my eyes again and read slowly, one word at a time: "Heavy Mountain Sword Technique." Indeed, it is these four characters, my vision is clear.

He cleared his throat and said: "Cherry pits can ward off evil, dispel disasters, and detoxify the body. Since your health is not very good, I am giving you this."

I returned to my courtyard and sat for a while before I remembered. I was originally supposed to deliver the gold lock to Jiang Chen, but this distraction made me forget.

Jiang Chen stood before the three of us, looking graceful and poised, surprisingly without a hint of embarrassment or shyness

Jiang Chen walked over with a light step, carrying a small bundle in his hand. Goodness, he even brought a change of clothes; could it be that he intends to stay for a while in this gentle abode

I couldn't help but say: "Jiang Chen, you have actually improved so much that it is astonishing."

I shot him a glance and huffed. I didn't even ask him, so why did he feel the need to explain to me? Moreover, such an explanation is truly unconvincing. He Xiaole's eyes were not in good condition, but Zhao Yebai and I both have large eyes, and we would never be mistaken.

Senior Brother He Xiaole displayed an extravagant demeanor and said to the waiter: "Bring the finest Longjing tea and the best pastries"

He shot me a fierce glance, suddenly tossed the makeup box from the table into his bag, picked it up, and left, his brows furrowed with a menacing anger

Senior Brother Zhao Yebai waved his stout arms and shouted, "Jiang Chen! We are here"

The Jade Night Sword danced in his hand, its sword energy fierce and its momentum like a startling wave. The sun shone brightly, and the light reflected from the sharp blade spilled forth like flowing jade and gold. The person was enveloped in a swirl of light and shadow, resembling a startled swan gliding past the setting sun

On a quiet and peaceful night, suddenly there came such a sound, which startled me quite a bit

He seemed to see through my thoughts, stepping back and chuckling: "Calm down, calm down. By the way, you didn't come to see me practice swordsmanship, did you?"

He was so excited that he could hardly speak: "Where did you come from?"

He handed a small bundle to me, saying: "Xiao Mo, this is for you."

Isn't this already used

You take a look

Upon exiting the theater, my mood improved significantly. Just as I was planning to return to the Xiaoyao Sect with my two senior brothers, suddenly, Brother He Xiaole's eyes, which were usually as narrow as a slit, widened by a factor of two.

Since I foolishly thought of "picking" this fresh flower, Brother Yunzhou, the brothers of the Xiaoyao Sect have kept their distance from me, fearing they might become the second one. I feel quite melancholic, and my confidence has plummeted like the setting sun in the west.

I followed Senior Brother He Xiaole into a tea house with my head lowered, feeling anxious, and secretly rejoiced that the senior brothers had chosen a relatively refined place to settle me down

His voice is as sweet as honeyed lotus root, his smile resembles glutinous rice pumpkin pastry, and his gaze is as gentle as West Lake lotus seed soup. Unfortunately, I was not deceived. I have always thought of myself as rather stiff and uninteresting, where is the charm in that? Could it be that I just spoke those words out of turn after flattering the beauty in that gentle realm? Hmph

This pillow is so heavy! When he threw it over, I never expected it to be that heavy. I caught it lightly, and as a result, I almost strained my back.

That night, after having dinner, I was about to take the little pouch for a stroll to aid digestion and relax. Suddenly, Jiang Chen arrived

I slowly opened the bundle, and on top were four pieces of clothing, which I set aside. Then there was a box; upon opening it, I found that this year's gifts were more abundant than in previous years.

I pointed to a somewhat uneven area on the rouge and asked him to take a look, as if it had been scratched by someone's fingernails.

I am secretly moved; my master is truly exceptionally kind to me.

I nodded solemnly: "It is indeed true. Between us, even if the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, there will never be such a misunderstanding"

He glanced at my waist and said, "It seems that the waist is also round."

I was instantly moved by him, and my prejudice against him melted away like the ice on the river under the warm sun, flowing away with a rush.

Before I could react, he quickly let go of my hand and said seriously, "Indeed, the clothes are loose, and the waist is indeed very slim"
