Chapter 74
Jing Yu really couldn't understand why Xu Ruyi suddenly asked this question.

And Xu Ruyi also realized that Jing Yu didn't seem to feel her liking.

"Then how can I make you feel that I like you very much?"

Jing Yu: "..."

Although Xu Ruyi has always doted on him, he can fully feel that Xu Ruyi seems to have misunderstood love.

Just like an ignorant girl.

Although he doesn't know what liking is, there is a question he still wants to ask.

"Princess, why do you insist on liking me?"

Xu Ruyi said coquettishly, "Can't I like you?"

Jing Yu: "..."

He really couldn't answer her words.

Jing Yu couldn't stop Xu Ruyi from doing something, but he still wanted to tell her: "Like someone, it's a feeling from the heart, it's not a homework, let alone some profound knowledge..."

As Jing Yu talked, he couldn't fix himself anymore.

But the moment the words fell, he found that Xu Ruyi had stopped speaking. He turned his head and saw that her expression was a little gloomy.

Seeing this, Jing Yu hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Did I say something wrong? I didn't say that you don't understand the meaning of liking. I'm a stupid person, and I'm not a good man recognized by the world. I was planning to be a bachelor all my life. Come on...so, I don't know why you chose me, princess..."

Xu Ruyi just looked at his flustered expression and didn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jing Yu felt even more uneasy. He didn't know which sentence he said wrong to make my aunt unhappy.

"That..." Jing Yu apologized earnestly again, "If I said something wrong, just scold me, don't hold back your anger..."

His words made Xu Ruyi amused: "Little Langjun is so cute, how can I be willing to scold you?"

"Then... let me put you to sleep, okay?"

It's so late, this little aunt should be settled, otherwise she will stick to him all the time, making him at a loss what to do.

Fortunately, Xu Ruyi was still willing to let him coax her to sleep, so she lay on the bed and invited Jing Yu, "Then you lie beside me and coax me to sleep~"

"hold head high!"

Jing Yu hurriedly lay obediently beside Xu Ruyi. As soon as he lay down, Xu Ruyi turned sideways and asked, "Can you smell me?"

When Jing Yu first heard this, he thought she had some strange smell on her body, but he thought it was unlikely, so he said, "It doesn't smell like that!"

Xu Ruyi frowned and said, "You're not serious, just smell it carefully!"

Jing Yu had no choice but to get closer and sniff lightly.

"Closer."

Jing Yu: "..."

He didn't want to upset his little aunt, so he approached her cautiously until the tip of his nose touched her collarbone.

Then he replied, "Is it close enough?"

"Can you smell what it is?"

"It smells like flowers..."

"Almost, let's smell it again!"

"Hmm...milk?"

"Smart!" Xu Ruyi said happily, "It's peony milk!"

Jing Yu raised the corner of his mouth, knowing that Xu Ruyi must want to hear his approval.

"Well, it's really delicious!"

"It's not just incense, it's luxury. The concubines in the harem don't dare to bathe with peonies all day long, because the number of peonies in the palace is limited, and the purchasing process is very cumbersome, but you are different, young man. You are like me." Your treasure, you can get me anything I want! Today is another day to like Xiao Langjun!"

When Xu Ruyi said this, on a whim, she pressed Jing Yu into her arms and hugged her tightly.

For Jing Yu, it was a surprise. The whole person seemed to be stuffed into Xu Ruyi's arms. He could completely smell the rich peony milk on Xu Ruyi's body, but she hugged her too tightly. , causing Jing Yu to beg for mercy: "Easy, light...I can't breathe..."

Only then did Xu Ruyi let go of him, and said, "I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now."

Jing Yu: "..."

He didn't think she was sleepy at all, but she was too refreshed after bathing.

Xu Ruyi then said: "Little Lang, can you tell me a bedtime story?"

"I don't have a bedtime story..."

He didn't have any children, so how could he store such things?
Unexpectedly, Xu Ruyi didn't despise him, but said to him: "Then let me tell you~"

Jing Yu nodded, maybe telling a story would make one of them sleepy!

Then, Jing Yu heard Xu Ruyi say: "Have you heard the story of the painted skin?"

Jing Yu nodded: "I have heard."

"Then do you believe that there is such a thing as painted skin in this world?"

Jing Yu: "..."

In the middle of the night, she doesn't want to tell ghost stories, does she? !

But if she wants to talk, he still has to listen...

Only Xu Ruyi continued: "Actually, there are many ghosts in this world, but not every ghost can become a painted skin, because no one provides them with that human skin. If a person can control their own bones after death, If they can find a suitable human skin, then they will become bone girls, bone girls are different from ordinary ghosts, they can travel around the world, be seen by others, and even blatantly claim their lives..."

After hearing this story, Jing Yu's pupils gradually widened.

He didn't know if this was Xu Ruyi's bad taste, but in the middle of the night, he was frightened out of his wits.

Seeing Jing Yu's trembling appearance, Xu Ruyi poked him on the head and said, "What are you afraid of? Ghosts don't hurt people for no reason. They only look for people who have harmed them in their lifetime. They dare to love and hate , and will not intrigue, even ghosts and ghosts can play together, which is much more harmonious than humans, and what I want to tell is the story of the painted skin girl falling in love with a boy."

Jing Yu blinked and said, "Don't you know what liking is? How can you be sure that girl with painted skin likes that boy?"

"That feeling, I should like it..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ruyi seemed to be pondering whether she liked that feeling or not. She was not sure, but instead asked Xiang Jingyu: "If you are a ghost with only bones left, look at it when you are most helpless. Seeing a boy holding your portrait in his hand, the material of that portrait and the person in the painting can be your skin, then, will you fall in love with the boy who gave you this skin?"

Just listening to this story, Jing Yu felt chills in his back.

If he was that boy, he would definitely be scared out of his wits by this painted skin girl!
"Princess, why don't I prepare two bedtime stories for you tomorrow! Let's not talk about this, you won't be able to sleep if you talk about it!"

Xu Ruyi lowered her head and asked, "Don't you like to hear it?"

Jing Yu said dumbfoundedly: "I'm a little timid, this kind of story is suitable for telling me during the day..."
