Real strength is to defeat yourself, and real self-confidence is to be full of determination.
Long Jiu wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said calmly: "It's good, she is her, I am me, the styles are different, there is nothing to compare with."
Long Jiu's self-confidence does not make people feel arrogant, but a free and easy way to see through the world.
Long Shi showed his admiration and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Jiu has never changed. I just like Brother Jiu's temperament."
Long Qi and Long Ba, who had always been friends with Long Shi, were "unhappy" and joked: "It's so sad. Xiao Shi only has eyes for your ninth brother and no other brothers."
This is true and true. Compared with other brothers, Long Shi prefers Long Jiu in his heart. Although Long Jiu doesn't talk much or play with him, Long Jiu always gave his brother the best when he was at his lowest and most pitiful. Long Shi knew that his ninth brother was such an activist that silence was golden.
Long Shi quickly put a large piece of meat into Long Ba's bowl, and then put another large piece of meat into Long Qi's bowl. He said with a flattering smile: "Xiao Shi never favors anyone, brothers are all the same."
Long Liu frowned and coughed deliberately. Long Shi quickly added vegetables to Long Liu's bowl and said with a cute smile: "Brother Six is involved in a serious case and is tired day and night. He needs to eat more..."
The four beauties grinned in perfect agreement.
Long Jiu could no longer sit here. He hated their laughter and saw them joking and playing like ordinary brothers. This made Long Jiu feel that he was pitiful and the one who was isolated. Long Jiu knew this. The idea was ridiculous, but he just felt uncomfortable.
Long Jiu stood up and said coldly: "I will take my leave first. Please use it slowly. I will inform my servants to take care of you."
This was an ordinary dinner between brothers. Long Jiu just ate in silence throughout the whole process, occasionally saying a few words to Long Shi. It was such an obvious performance. Although Long Jiu's face could not be seen clearly, his attitude was tight. The thin lips express it so straightforwardly.
The four beauties know it all and they are all understanding people.
Feng Xi'er came out of the dining table and walked slowly on the path of the palace. Walking slowly after a meal is good for digestion and makes it less likely to gain weight. Moreover, Feng Xi'er is too bored and lies down when she doesn't feel full. I can't leave the house, so I can only hang out like this, which is considered as exercise.
Counting the days, Feng Xi'er has been in Jiu Wang's Mansion for a week. Feng Xi'er feels that it has been as long as several years. It's not that she doesn't like Jiu Wang's Mansion, but that Feng Xi'er misses Hong Jiu, Chan Zhen, and Hong. Jiu's yearning for Jiu became... Feng Xi'er was tortured to the point of collapse by that suspicious feeling.
No, she must ask Long Jiu clearly. Thinking of this, Feng Xi'er turned around quickly, only to see Long Jiu less than one meter in front of her. Long Jiu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold, his body was straight, his thin lips were pressed tightly, and his whole body exuded the feeling of "Keep strangers away". His cold breath felt like someone had stolen his treasure.
Feng Xi'er's heart trembled, and the question she wanted to ask was stuck in her throat. Feng Xi'er was confused. Did she do something wrong? Why did Long Jiu look at her like this
But Long Jiu had tried his best to restrain himself. He was afraid that if he had an impulse, he would hold Feng Xi'er's shoulders and ask her what she was with Long Qi. He really cared about whether she had ever loved Long Qi.
Long Jiu considers himself a rough man and not good at observing emotions. Feng Xi'er is the first woman he loves and the last woman. The only one is always the most precious and worth cherishing, so he cares too much and can't bear it. Live with random thoughts.
Long Jiu was angry. Why didn't Feng Xi'er just stop thinking about Long Qi? Why did she keep entangled with Long Jiu? If A Xi said that she already had someone she loved, would a proud person like Long Qi still give up
But Long Jiu didn't know that Feng Xi'er did this to protect the one she loved and for Hong Jiu. Why did Long Jiu, who had always been smart, become so dull in love
Alas, no one is perfect.
In fact, love between a man and a woman is very simple, but many people complicate it. If each other opens their hearts and expresses their thoughts, there will not be so many suspicions and misunderstandings.
Long Jiu looked down at Feng Xi'er, and Feng Xi'er looked up at Long Jiu. Long Jiu was already tall, but looking down at Feng Xi'er like this made Feng Xi'er feel that she was high up and out of reach. She was clearly right in front of her, but she couldn't see her. Understand Long Jiu.
Gritting her teeth secretly and mustering up her courage, Feng Xi'er's eyes opened wide, full of sincerity. She took a breath and asked softly: "Master Jiu, can I ask you a question?"
Long Jiu looked at Feng Xi'er's sincere eyes, and the anger rising in his heart melted away, slowly softening inch by inch. Why is this happening? Long Jiu felt that his heart no longer belonged to him and was no longer under his control.
Long Jiu's silence made Feng Xi'er even more anxious. She became more and more frustrated and asked again: "Master Jiu, I want to ask you..."
Just when Feng Xi'er was about to tell the key question, Long Shi's voice interrupted Feng Xi'er's question.
Long Shi came slowly and said, "Brother Jiu, Xiaoxi, what are you whispering about?"
Long Qi, who was behind Long Shi, felt even more depressed because of Long Shi's words. From a distance, he saw Feng Xi'er leaning very close to Long Jiu and looking up at Long Jiu with eager eyes, as if she wanted to say something. Very important words
Long Qi was secretly suspicious and secretly observed Feng Xi'er and Long Jiu.
Feng Xi'er was startled, her heart beat wildly twice, and she rolled her eyes in shock. She was glad that she didn't ask that question, otherwise Long Liu and the others would hear it and Hong Jiu would be in trouble.
Feng Xi'er lowered her eyebrows, regret flashing through her heart. He raised his head and smiled, his eyebrows curled into small moons, he scratched his neck helplessly, and said: "Well, I just wanted to ask Master Jiu if I could go out for a walk. My limbs have deteriorated every day since I was injured. Go out for a walk…”
Long Shiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Xiao Xi and I really have a good connection. I was thinking about taking Xiao Xi and Brother Jiu out to play!"
Feng Xi'er laughed, and the two brothers patted Long Shi's shoulders and said excitedly: "The one who knows me is Xiao Shi."
Long Shi lifted his chin and squinted his eyes quite proudly, and said arrogantly: "That's natural, we are the best partners."
After saying this, Feng Xi'er gave Feng Xi'er a knowing look. Feng Xi'er remembered the glorious deeds of setting up a gambling game with Long Shi and Zheng Wen Sheng. She covered her mouth and snickered, like a little mouse.
In the end, Long Ba returned to the palace because it was not suitable to be out of the palace for too long, and Long Liu also returned home because he was involved in a serious case. Feng Xier took Xiaotuo with her, and Long Shi and Long Qi accompanied her.
Long Shi wanted to take Long Jiu with him, but Long Jiu resolutely refused.
Long Shi was well aware of Long Jiu's temperament, so he stopped rambling. It was a pity that Brother Jiu wouldn't go. At least, he could go shopping with Xiao Xi. Long Shi smiled contentedly when no one saw him.
That's it, enough.
The palace was empty, there was no more fun, and the Nine Princes' Mansion returned to its usual deserted state.
