Li Qinzai has been busy with social activities since returning to Chang'an and has no time to see Jin Xiang.
Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to visit today.
My girlfriends have such a good relationship. According to the normal process, Jin Xiang should have made secret glances at Cui Jie in front of him. I would only feel sorry for Giaogiao.
This is the normal way for best friends to open up. It's subtle and artistic, and the struggles and pains of being bound by morality are too bloody.
What Li Qinzai hopes to see is a completely different Jinxiang, the kind that holds a pipe and twists it while singing "Come on, be happy".
Rather than calling yourself fat as soon as you meet someone.
Have you eaten your grilled lamb chops, stewed lamb tripe, and hand-caught lamb?
"We meet again after a long separation. Let's both be polite. Don't expose the scars, let alone say I'm fat. I'm not fat!" Li Qinzai sighed.
Jin Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, then covered his mouth and said, "You have obviously gained weight and become rounder. I heard that you sent troops to plunder Tuyuhun when you were in the northwest. Is the mutton of their tribe particularly nutritious?"
Li Qinzai said with a cold face: "If we have nothing to talk about, we can say goodbye in a friendly way and say goodbye!"
Just as he was about to turn around, his belt was grabbed by Jin Xiang. Li Qinzai turned his head, and Jin Xiang gave him a resentful look: "You didn't even bother to look at me when you came back. Let me say a few words and you're still unhappy."
Li Qinzai blurted out: "I was about to go out to see you. Didn't you see my strong figure just now? I was running towards you regardless of my own safety..."
Jinxiang's beautiful eyes shone: "Really?"
Li Qinzai touched his nose guiltily. He couldn't bear to lie to her because such a lie could be taken seriously.
He has the temperament of a bit of a scumbag, could it be that Zi Nu has enlightened him?
Jin Xiang was about to say something more, but Cong Shuang, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't stand it anymore. Isn't it too arrogant for you two to flirt with each other in the Duke's mansion? The wife's personal maid is still there.
"County Master, my girl is waiting impatiently. Look..." Cong Shuang urged calmly.
Jin Xiang's face turned red, he chuckled at Li Qinzai again, turned around and entered the Duke's Mansion.
…………
The backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
Cui Jie and Jin Xiang sat opposite each other, looking at each other.
After the two met and greeted each other, they remained silent. The atmosphere was dry, like winter in the north.
Cui Jie had a complicated expression, while Jin Xiang lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
The two women were silent for a long time, and Cui Jie finally couldn't help but sigh: "In all these years of knowing each other, I never thought that we would reach this point because of a man. There are thousands of men in the world, why did you fall in love with him?"
Jin Xiang felt more and more guilty, and his pretty face turned red and white. After a while, he suddenly bravely raised his head and looked directly into Cui Jie's eyes.
"Jie'er, I'm sorry. But, I don't know when, he has entered my heart and I can't even drive him away."
"I have never thought about the outcome of my relationship with him. As long as you allow me to like him silently and watch him from a distance, that is enough for me. Is that okay?"
Cui Jie couldn't help but feel bitter: "Even if I agree, will your father agree? You are already nineteen years old, and you are going to be betrothed to a husband. Can your father allow you to like a married man and never marry for the rest of your life? You are too much
So naive."
Jinxiang said quietly: "If my father forces me to marry, the worst I can do is escape into Buddhism. You don't have to worry about it. Today I will confess my feelings in front of you. I just like you if I like it. There is nothing I dare not admit. If you raise an army to investigate and kill me, I will kill you."
It’s up to you.”
Cui Jie sighed: "After getting to know him, I know how good he is. I am lucky to be married to him in this life, but I also have to face many troubles. You are one of my troubles. I
What should I do with you..."
Jin Xiang shook his head and sobbed: "I have nothing else to ask for, and I don't want to break your agreement with him to grow old together. It's enough to allow me to watch you from a distance."
Cui Jie couldn't help but felt heartbroken. She stood up and wiped away her tears, hugged her gently and sighed: "You have been stubborn since you were a child, and you only accept death. No one can persuade you to do anything. What can I do to you? There will be trouble in the future.
, leave it to future opportunities.”
Cui Jie's face suddenly changed as she said that, and she poked Jin Xiang's head with a finger bitterly, and said angrily: "We are here crying bitterly, but he is happy and free, but you don't know that the enemy is coming!"
Jin Xiang stopped crying and looked up at her confusedly: "What enemy?"
Cui Jie gritted her teeth and said: "My husband went on a mission to the northwest and met a foreign woman. It is said that she is stunningly beautiful and was born with purple eyes. She is also an exiled princess of the Loulan Kingdom. My husband was fascinated by her..."
Jin Xiang was taken aback: "He is so heartless, how could he be so fascinated by a woman?"
Cui Jie snorted: "So, that foreign woman must be a flirt, and she doesn't know how to seduce men. I heard from Bu Qu that he and she... had a one-night stand."
Jin Xiang's expression suddenly became complicated.
She wanted to be angry, but felt that she had no position. After all, she was her husband. In theory, she and that foxy girl were the same in nature. The difference was that her method of seducing men was much better than hers, and she could do it right away.
And she was still silently falling into misery and moral inability to extricate herself. Even if it was a vigorous sadomasochistic love affair, she only abused herself. The doggy man was still heartless and mean-mouthed. How could she have ever been abused in the slightest?
"Where is that woman? Did she ever go back to Chang'an with him?" Jin Xiang asked.
Cui Jie snorted again: "How dare he bring her back? Aren't you afraid that I would throw her into the well? After one night of love, she left quietly without knowing where to go."
Jin Xiang's expression relaxed: "Since everyone has left, I guess... we won't see each other again, right?"
Cui Jie glanced at her coldly and felt that her husband was right. There is a kind of woman who is just silly and sweet, like the one in front of her.
"You are naive again. How could she give up so easily after she has tasted the benefits? I think she is playing hard to get. Maybe she has quietly come to Chang'an City and is staring at us gloomily somewhere."
Jinxiang asked in confusion: "Taste the sweetness? What did she taste?"
Cui Jie blushed and whispered a few words in her ear.
Jin Xiang's face instantly turned blood red, and he said in shock: "You, you, you...when did you become so bad? Are all married women like this?"
Cui Jie was also a little shy, covering her mouth and giggling. But as Jin Xiang said, women who are married are indeed much thicker-skinned than before, and this is a secret word in the boudoir, so it is not out of the ordinary.
After a long time, Jin Xiang blushed and whispered: "You really use your mouth..."
Cui Jie lowered her head and laughed, avoiding answering.
Jinxiang is still full of curiosity: "Why do you say 'taste the sweetness'? Could it be that... it is sweet? Impossible?"
"Shut up! Stop talking!"
As the two women talked, the topic suddenly went sideways. The purple-eyed woman was completely forgotten, and they turned to studying the physiological structure of men and women. Cui Jie taught authoritatively, and Jin Xiang listened honestly.
The relationship between best friends, which was originally cold, somehow regained its previous closeness after a few words of conversation.
