"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Jiang Lu said "hmm":
"This is a secret between us."
"it is good."
"Then, you haven't found the Three Corpse Spirits, why do you suddenly want to go back?" Jiang Lu asked again.
Lu Qing was silent for a moment: "Because there is no need to look for it."
"why?"
"I believe that the three corpse spirits have become powerful in yesterday's catastrophe, so I must rush back to Kunlun Mountain immediately."
Chapter 330 Drunk and cowardly
When the serious matter was mentioned, and it was such a serious matter, Jiang Lu was left with no idea at all. His mind was filled with thoughts about why the Queen Mother of the West had made so many obviously contradictory actions.
"It's getting late, go to bed early." Jiang Lu stopped waiting for an opportunity, but calmed down and made the quilt covering him smoother.
But Lu Qing seemed to be a little unsatisfied: "Ah...it's not too late, right?"
Jiang Lu didn't expect that this guy would become so talkative after getting to know him better.
"Even if you don't want to sleep, you should still consider Xiao Zhuzhen, right? She's still growing up, so she can't stay up late."
"Hey, hey, hey, just call me by my name. What's the meaning of adding a small in front of the name? Besides, I'm already eighteen years old, what's the point of having a healthy body?" Zhu Zhen said dissatisfiedly.
"You can still develop at 18."
"I..." Zhu Zhen really wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of something, and his hand hidden in the quilt quietly covered his chest.
Could it be that...he likes big ones?
"But when I talk about these things, I am so excited that I can't sleep."
Lu Qing suggested:
"How about this, let's go out and talk, and let Zhu Zhen have a good sleep, that should be ok, right?"
"This..." Jiang Lu sighed: "Okay."
"Wow, you guys must be telling me something interesting behind my back, I want to listen too!" Zhu Zhen protested.
"No! Just go to sleep!" Lu Qing said sternly.
Seeing that his senior sister was serious, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to give in and buried his head in the quilt, but he still refused to accept it.
"If you don't want to listen, then don't listen. I actually want to sleep a long time ago. Don't disturb me."
Seeing this, Jiang Lu couldn't help laughing. In his eyes, Lu Qing was more like Zhu Zhen's strict old mother than her senior sister. The way they got along was not like that of peers.
Wait...is this the legendary...stepmother?
broken.
Jiang Lu's face changed. When he thought about being in the same room with the mother and daughter, his originally calm heart suddenly became a little restless again.
Soon, the two of them sat in the aisle.
It was a time when all the passengers were fast asleep and the lights on the train were off. The only lights left in the aisle were the dim green emergency lights that were on to prevent people who got up at night from falling because they couldn't see the road. It was pitch black outside the window, and only occasionally could one see some scattered lights along the way, as well as the vague outlines of the distant mountains reflected by these lights.
Although it was pitch black, I could only hear each other's voices while lying on the bed in the compartment, which was completely different from the feeling of sitting face to face like now.
This made Lu Qing suddenly forget the topic she had originally prepared to talk about. For some unknown reason, she felt as if her mind was a little confused.
Just at this moment, Jiang Lu happened to joke, "This atmosphere is so ambiguous."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
But her face, which was a little blurry in the dark, turned red uncontrollably, but she didn't even notice it.
"Is this your first time going down the mountain?" Jiang Lu asked softly.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded: "It's a bit funny, right? This is the first time I've traveled far away since I was a child."
Jiang Lu nodded secretly, which further confirmed his suspicion.
It was quite outrageous that a person who had never traveled far could sneak away without telling his master and come to Nanjiang City thousands of miles away so smoothly.
"But how did you tell?"
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and replied, "Because I saw innocence in your eyes. It was a very strange feeling, as if... there was a magical power that allowed me to pass the imperial examination without studying."
"What kind of weird metaphor is this?" Lü Qing was amused by Jiang Lu. "Besides, how can anyone pass the imperial examination without studying? How can there be any gains without hard work?"
"Haha, the world is so wonderful, isn't it?"
After some joking, Lu Qing's embarrassment was greatly relieved and he was no longer so nervous.
Seeing that she was much more relaxed, Jiang Lu took out two bottles of wine from somewhere like a magician.
"Would you like to drink some? It'll help with sleep." Jiang Lu said as he opened one of the bottles, as if to say, whether you drink it or not, I'm going to drink it.
"Where did you get this from?"
"I bought it when I passed by a dining car in the afternoon. I originally thought it would be boring to ride alone, so I planned to drink a little and go to bed at night, but now that I have you as my companion, it is much more interesting."
Jiang Lu smiled: "It's just strange, this is interesting, and it makes me want to drink more."
"Is that so... But I've never drunk alcohol..." It couldn't be said that he was resisting, but Lu Qing was indeed a little uneasy.
"The alcohol content of this wine is very low, almost the same as juice." Jiang Lu coaxed.
"Well... let's give it a try. There are always many first times in life, right?"
"That's it."
Jiang Lu clapped his hands approvingly, then opened another bottle and handed it to Lu Qing.
After taking the wine, Lu Qing encouraged himself in his heart, then took a sip carefully.
Just as Jiang Lu said, this wine is not strong and even tastes sweet when you drink it.
Her tongue became numb from the alcohol, and without thinking too much, she swallowed it.
The wine slid into her throat. It was obviously cold, but it made her feel as if she had swallowed burning hot water. Her entire esophagus was burning, and she couldn't help but curl up her toes and even clamp her legs together and stand on tiptoe.
"Hmm~"
But after only a brief moment of discomfort, a warm feeling came from her mouth to her stomach, making her feel as if her whole body was warm and full of strength.
"ha..."
She exhaled a breath of hot air, as if she had discovered a new world, and said to Jiang Lu in surprise: "Although it was a bit uncomfortable when I drank it, I felt better after a while!"
Jiang Lu, who had already taken several big gulps in the time it took her to take a sip, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Really?"
Lu Qing didn't say anything, but took another sip impatiently. This time he was mentally prepared and drank even more than last time.
The spicy stimulation rushed straight to her head again, making her feel that every pore in her body was moaning comfortably, and she rolled her eyes uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Jiang Lu looked at her with admiration and praised: "You are very talented."
"Is... is that so?" Lu Qing held the bottle in one hand and supported his chin on the small table with the other hand, and said weakly: "I am very talented in everything I do!"
"Hahaha, of course I know." Jiang Lu followed her and said, "How about you be the chief?"
"That's it."
She nodded vigorously, and subconsciously began to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jiang Lu.
“However, no matter how talented I am, there are still many things I have not tried. I have always lacked confidence in things I have never tried.
But as a senior sister, I cannot show my weakness in front of my fellow junior students, so I usually pretend to be very cool and serious.
But I really don’t want to be like this... It’s so tiring to always be like this.
The first time I went down the mountain, I was actually very nervous, but I gritted my teeth and persevered because I wanted to do something for my master.
Also, although I always teach Zhu Zhen a lesson, I am actually very grateful to her. If it weren’t for her, I don’t know how I would have survived this journey…”
Listening to Lu Qing's mumbling, Jiang Lu's face gradually changed from one of confidence to one of confusion.
He picked up the bottle and felt very strange. Wasn't it only 12 degrees? Why did it feel like it was going through a revolving lantern?
It's easier to get things done when you're slightly tipsy, but if you're blackout drunk you're no different from a dead person, and Jiang Lu can't do something like picking up a corpse.
"Don't drink if you can't drink it." Jiang Lu was a little scared.
"Who are you looking down on?" Lu Qing, who had just reached the bottleneck of his drink, patted his chest and said, "I am a master of drinking!"
"I feel like you're not in a good condition...why don't you really go to bed early?"
Lu Qing's drinking tolerance was obviously not very good. When Jiang Lu told her not to drink, she angrily slapped her thigh and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm fine."
"..."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Lu's reaction, she rolled up her sleeves and then pulled up her trouser legs: "It's so hot."
"......" Jiang Lu silently put away his empty wine bottle, muttering to himself: "This is nothing..."
At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly asked: "What do you think of me?"
"What... How is it?" Jiang Lu was stunned: "Excellent?"
"I'm not asking you that. I mean, as a man, looking at me the way you would look at a woman, what do you think of me?"
It has to be said that when drunk, Lu Qing spoke very confidently and wildly, which was completely different from his normal state where he appeared confident on the surface but was timid inside.
"It's...it's pretty good..."
"Then do you want to try it with me?" Lu Qing asked.
"Try...try what?" Even Jiang Lu couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"That's all."
Lu Qing said carelessly:
“I am the chief disciple of Kunlun Mountain. In the future, my Taoist partner will probably be arranged by my master, and I won’t be able to choose one myself. But I probably won’t like those people.
So instead of sleeping with someone you don’t like, it’s better to find someone you like and sleep with first.
Since you think I'm good and I like you, I'm asking you now, do you want to do it?"
