Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Bai Sheng also noticed his slightly changed expression, so she bit her lip lightly and turned her face away, "Why?"

"Compared to kissing, I prefer hugging. I feel very happy when I hug someone." After Jiang Li said this, he turned around, held up his umbrella, and walked towards the dark stairs in front of him.

Just as he took a step forward, Bai Sheng came behind him, reached out and hugged him gently.

"Just... hold me for a while." Bai Sheng said in a low voice.

"Okay." Jiang Li did not turn around. Feeling the warm body pressed against him from behind, the corners of his lips curled up until Bai Sheng let go of his hand. He turned around and looked at the girl who was now lowering her head with flushed cheeks, and said softly.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Bai Sheng. Good night."

He opened his umbrella and blended into the darkness in front of him.

Chapter 34: Chapter Pillow

It has been raining continuously these days.

When Jiang Li woke up, the light was still a little dim, so he turned over and slept a little longer. He really liked rainy days like this. Time seemed to become fragmented. Sitting under the eaves and looking at the rain in front of him, it seemed as if a long time had passed inadvertently.

But he woke up at the right time. Bai Sheng, wearing a white Taoist robe and holding an umbrella, came to the bamboo building again.

Bai Sheng's hair was tied more delicately today. The umbrella in her hand was the one Jiang Li gave her last time. Jiang Li was sitting on the second floor of the bamboo building waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he stood up and threw the wooden sword to Bai Sheng.

"morning."

"morning."

The two began the third day of sword practice.

Today they still only practiced sword for an hour, but such high-intensity sword practice soon made Bai Sheng's body shaky, while Jiang Li didn't even take a breath, so this time he directly picked up Bai Sheng and went to the bathroom, which became a natural thing.

Bai Sheng's hands were at a loss, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she had no strength to struggle.

Maybe it's not just that I don't have the strength to struggle.

Jiang Li carried her to the bathtub and sat her down obediently. Then he took out a white cheongsam and a pair of thin white silk socks from his backpack. Bai Sheng tilted her head and looked at Jiang Li who was taking a bath. Before she could say anything, Jiang Li replied, "If I open your acupoints today, I have to touch your legs. If you wear a pair of socks, it won't be considered taking advantage of you, right?"

"Where does this make sense?"

"That's Senior Brother Jiang Li's twisted logic." Jiang Li smiled at her, then turned and walked out of the room.

..........................................

When Bai Sheng came to Jiang Li's room, Jiang Li was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her lazily.

Bai Sheng changed into the white cheongsam. Jiang Li liked that cheongsam very much because it was not a solemn and elegant style, but a modified short style. The hem of the cheongsam just covered half of the thigh, not to mention that it had a slit on the right side. When she walked, a touch of whiteness between her thighs would be inadvertently revealed, which was slightly charming but not tacky.

Bai Sheng's figure was the type that was slim where it should be slim, and plump where it should be plump. Jiang Li looked at her chest tightly wrapped in the cheongsam, and rarely let his gaze stay on it for a second, then he tilted his head.

Bai Sheng did not obediently put on the white socks, but Jiang Li did not care. Her body was still tired. Jiang Li waved at her. Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still came to him and stood still obediently.

The two looked at each other for several seconds, until Bai Sheng finally opened his lips slightly and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Li..."

"Ok?"

"Why...why are you nice to me?"

Jiang Li gazed into her eyes tenderly, but did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a few seconds, then he said, "Why don't you tell me what you think first?"

"It is precisely because I don't have an answer that I asked Senior Brother Jiang Li."

Bai Sheng's fingers gently grasped the hem of her cheongsam. She failed to hide her uneasiness, and Jiang Li finally answered directly at this moment, "I said it last time, because Junior Sister Bai Sheng is very cute."

Bai Sheng shook his head, "That's not a reason."

There was a hint of grievance in the girl's eyes, but Jiang Li continued to ask, "So Junior Sister Bai Sheng thinks that I have bad intentions towards you?"

Bai Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not."

Jiang Li sighed softly.

"I can't answer Junior Sister Bai Sheng's question just now, because I explained it a long time ago. I think it's fun to chat with Junior Sister Bai Sheng occasionally and get along with her. I don't have many friends, so I always try to be nice to her. If this makes Junior Sister Bai Sheng feel uneasy, it's my problem."

"No...Senior Brother Jiang Li..." Bai Sheng's tone became a little anxious, but she was as tongue-tied as always and didn't know what to say.

She just always felt uneasy.

Because Jiang Li's kindness to her has reached the point where it is difficult for her to repay him, Bai Sheng does not like this feeling of indebtedness. She always wants to give something back to Jiang Li, but she finds that she has nothing, while he seems to lack nothing.

She knew very well that Jiang Li had no plans towards her. If he did, perhaps she had really been deceived by Jiang Li. However, Jiang Li had always told her his little thoughts and bad intentions very frankly.

But Bai Sheng didn't know what to say. She felt a blockage in her chest, but she couldn't explain it. Breathing became a little difficult, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Jiang Li looked up at her, and after a second or two, he reached out and tapped her on the head.

"Please, please, are you thinking about a lot of complicated things?"

Bai Sheng immediately covered his forehead that had been hit. Jiang Li's smile was a little helpless. "It is precisely because I regard Junior Sister Bai Sheng as a friend that I want to be nice to Junior Sister Bai Sheng. In fact, if it weren't for Junior Sister Bai Sheng, I wouldn't even bother to touch the sword."

Bai Sheng stared at him blankly, but Jiang Li moved his body, "Lie down first, let Senior Brother Jiang Li talk to you slowly."

Bai Sheng obediently came to the bedside, and after hesitating for a moment, she sat on the bed. Jiang Li blinked at her and said, "Aren't you going to put on your socks?"

"If it was Senior Brother Jiang Li..."

"No, you better put it on." Jiang Li answered seriously and righteously.

So Bai Sheng was unable to say what she wanted to say, but she herself felt inexplicably shy. She picked up the socks Jiang Li gave her, rolled them up gently, lifted her slender feet, put them on carefully, and rolled them up little by little. However, after putting them on to her thighs, there was still the waist that she couldn't put on, so Jiang Li turned his head politely.

Now what Bai Sheng needs to do is to lift up the cheongsam and then put on the pantyhose. The thin but elastic pantyhose will tighten the girl's snow-white thigh skin, and then put the cheongsam down. In fact, this action is quite fast. After putting it on, Bai Sheng gently poked Jiang Li's back with her fingers. Jiang Li turned around, and then his hand naturally rested on Bai Sheng's calf.

Bai Sheng's body trembled slightly. This time, without the quilt covering her, she felt a lot less safe. She was like a frightened deer, looking at Jiang Li timidly, until Jiang Li's fingertips began to transmit some spiritual energy into her body.

Jiang Li's fingertips moved carefully along her slender legs wrapped in white silk. He looked very serious. After a long while, Bai Sheng dared to ask in a low voice, "Brother Jiang Li...didn't you want to say something?"

"Ah? Right." Jiang Li felt the touch of his fingertips, as if there was a very light rustling sound. He did not look up, but continued, "It is because I saw Junior Sister Bai Sheng working hard to practice sword that I became interested in holding the sword again. It is also very interesting to discuss swords with Junior Sister Bai Sheng. So I also want to be like Junior Sister Bai Sheng, who can have a goal to work hard for and love life."

These were some psychological hints that would probably make Bai Sheng more cheerful. Bai Sheng hesitated and didn't know what to ask. After a while, he finally said, "Why... is it so interesting to debate swords with me?"

Of course it's fun to see you blush and feel ashamed when I spank you.

Jiang Li didn't say this out loud, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Sheng and he smiled, so it didn't matter whether he said it or not. Bai Sheng raised her little pink fist and hit him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything. At this moment, Jiang Li's fingertips had already touched her thigh wrapped in white stockings. He pressed lightly, and his fingertips sank slightly into the soft flesh.

It turns out that girls are made of water, and they are all sweet and soft when you pinch them.

Jiang Li couldn't help but poked it again, and then poked it again, and poked it again, until Bai Sheng cried out faintly and timidly that it was itchy. Only then did he come to his senses and seriously penetrate Bai Sheng's acupoints.

It took less time today, only ten minutes, and Jiang Li had already cleared two blocked acupoints for her. Her acupoints were now open to forty-five. Jiang Li was also happily satisfied with his urge to be a bitch, and he touched the girl's beautiful white silk legs for a long time.

Well, an equal exchange.

But Jiang Li always wanted to gain more advantages in the exchange. At this moment, he looked a little tired. Bai Sheng asked softly, "Brother Jiang Li, are you tired?"

"Well, opening the acupoints is a bit exhausting."

"Then Senior Brother Jiang Li, go to sleep..."

Jiang Li smiled cunningly again. He looked at Bai Sheng and blinked at her. "Junior Sister Bai Sheng, do you always feel that you owe me something?"

Bai Sheng's expression already gave the answer. Her eyes were a little confused. "Senior Brother Jiang Li, you really can guess everything."

"Since you want to compensate me... Junior Sister Bai Sheng, be my pillow!"

"Eh eh eh?"

Bai Sheng was stunned for a second or two, her crystal earlobes gradually turning pink, but she recalled the morning when she slept peacefully in Jiang Li's arms, so she lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Brother Jiang Li, come up."

Fortunately, Jiang Li’s bed is really big.

Jiang Li always had high requirements for beds. After all, he often brought his senior sister back to watch the stars and the moon together. How could the bed not be big enough and soft enough? He quickly climbed onto the bed. Bai Sheng moved her body slightly, and Jiang Li's head was able to lie on the girl's plump, snowy thighs in a particularly comfortable position.

"Is this okay?"

"Very comfortable."

Jiang Li and Bai Sheng looked at each other, and the girl quickly avoided his gaze in panic, and Jiang Li was especially sensible and closed his eyes. Not long after, Bai Sheng's small hand gently pressed his head, and the other hand gently stroked his cheek with her fingertips. It was a little itchy, but very comfortable.

The girl's voice was very soft. She said, "My mother always did this when she coaxed me to sleep. Does Senior Brother Jiang Li like it?"

Jiang Li responded softly, and the corners of Bai Sheng's lips curled up. She lowered her head and looked at Jiang Li who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, her bright eyes revealing a little confusion.

Chapter 35: Chapter The Past

Jiang Li slept very soundly.

But he had a dream.

In the dream, it was a bright spring day, peach blossoms were in full bloom in March, a girl in a white dress stood under a tree, with a woven wreath on her head, she looked at him seriously and asked, "Will you always be by my side?"

How strange.

Obviously, he had a completely different answer in mind, but when he saw her expectant eyes, he nodded. Then he saw the girl smile, and he came to her and kissed her cheek.

Jiang Li couldn't remember how many girls he had had ambiguous relationships with, but he only had one "girlfriend" in the true sense. After all, a relationship could end unclearly as long as it started unclearly.

And the only girlfriend is the girl in front of him.

Almost identical tragic childhoods made the two of them huddle together for warmth. Jiang Li is an orphan. Her parents divorced early, her mother remarried, and her father died of illness. Her mother was unwilling to adopt her anymore and gave her a fixed amount of living expenses every month. The two have known each other since high school, working part-time jobs together, doing odd jobs together, shopping together, dating together, and watching movies together, but they have always maintained a relationship that is more than friendship but less than lovers.

In fact, she had hinted at it many times, even though that had almost exhausted all her courage. After all, both of them were little mice with low self-esteem, but Jiang Li always pretended not to see it.

The two of them were admitted to the same university. She worked hard for her future life and constantly improved herself, while he treated the school as a game scene and conquered one NPC after another. The two of them should have gone in different directions and drifted away, but that day, the girl, who usually didn't like drinking, suddenly called him late at night and asked him to pick her up and take her home.

Then he left the room he had just opened, even though there was a pretty school girl taking a shower in the bathroom.

When Jiang Li arrived there, she was sitting alone on the side of the road. Hearing footsteps, she raised her head, her eyes drunken, and looked at his face. The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Jiang Li sat next to her and she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'm so tired." she said suddenly.

Jiang Li turned his head and looked into her eyes. She was definitely not the prettiest girl Jiang Li knew, but her words could make him stunned for a long time.

He and she said separately.

"I don't want to like you anymore."

"let's be together."

The former then compromises the latter.

Then the latter deceived the former.

Jiang Li saw the tearful girl in his dream. He was in a trance for a long time. Suddenly, he felt that his memory seemed to be wrong. Was she crying or laughing at that time? But the face was so blurry that he couldn't see it clearly. He tried to open his eyes wide to see her expression at that time, but when he opened his eyes, he could hear the rustling sound of rain in his ears and Bai Sheng's face in his sight.

"Is Senior Brother Jiang Li awake?" Bai Sheng asked softly.

With his head resting on the girl's snow-white and soft thigh, Jiang Li sat up and was in a trance for a long time. Bai Sheng's concerned eyes made him feel extremely familiar, so familiar that he was in a trance. He shook his head, "How long have I slept?"

"Two hours."

"It's been so long... Are you hungry? I'll cook some noodles for you."

Jiang Li hurriedly sat up from the bed, then ran into the kitchen, took out a handful of thin noodles, and boiled water in the pot. When he saw the water in the pot become boiling, he couldn't help but feel dazed again.

In fact, you are nice to Bai Sheng and treat her so specially just because you want to make up for the guilt in your heart, right?

You just want to feel better in your heart, you just want to deceive yourself. When she chose to kill you, she was not laughing, but crying, right?

You even want to deceive yourself, because you don’t want to live with such guilt anymore, but you still numb yourself again and again, still not asking for the slightest change, you...

Footsteps sounded behind Jiang Li. Jiang Li turned around and saw Bai Sheng walking into the kitchen. She was looking at the pot in front of Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang Li, what are you doing?"

"Cook noodles."

It was a very ordinary bowl of noodles with a little soy sauce and lard, and two slices of green vegetables for garnish. Jiang Li quickly cooked the noodles, fried two eggs and put them on the noodles, then went into the house with Bai Sheng carrying the noodles.

Bai Sheng picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the noodles, but Jiang Li couldn't help but feel dazed again.

In fact, he couldn't cook in his previous life and was not good at it at all. He didn't know why he fell in love with cooking in this life. He lowered his head and started eating noodles with chopsticks, but he always felt that something was missing no matter how he ate.

He could never cook the familiar taste in his memory.

Bai Sheng finished half of his noodles, raised his head, and suddenly froze in place.

Because Jiang Li, who was sitting opposite her, was holding chopsticks at the moment, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably. She looked at his face, but saw his red eyes. Bai Sheng put down her chopsticks blankly and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiang Li...what's wrong?"
