Young man, please stay

Chapter 34
  "Princess, she...has learned."

"..."

"It's just a small thing. I wonder who I can teach. If you want to learn, just teach, so..."

"Your dragon-elephant cloud-moving hand is designed to deal with short-range attacks."

"Don't worry, except for you and the princess, I will never teach it to outsiders!"

"Know thyself, ever-victorious."

"Well, I understand that understanding the enemy is to protect yourself, so you attach great importance to this martial arts! I yearn for it! It's not too late, I will teach you now, how about it?"

"..."

Under the locust tree, the girl in black holding the white horse patted Zhen Ji's saddle. After a while, she blinked and looked at Qin Lang:

"Do you only teach martial arts to women?"

"?"

What is this word?

Qin Lang looked upright:
  "No, I'm not that kind of person."

"Then have you taught others martial arts before?"

The righteousness on Qin Lang's face twisted:
  "No...no."

"..."

"Before... I only had senior sister to teach me..."

"..."

Then shouldn’t we still only teach women...

Or he was taught by a woman...

Ha ha.

Gu Jin sneered in her heart. It was obviously not funny, but she didn't know why she just wanted to sneer. When she laughed, her heart felt sour and uncomfortable.

"Anyway, if you want to learn, I can teach you now. You see, it's very simple."

Qin Lang started making gestures on the spot as he spoke, while Gu Jin watched silently as he finished using the Cloud Moves without expressing his position.

"Uh... how about it? Do you understand? Do you have anything you want to ask?"

"No."

Gu Jin's ponytail and Zhen Ji's ponytail shook casually at the same time:

"I'm just watching, not learning."

"..."

Qin Lang's eyelids jumped when he heard these words, and he felt a little familiar.

In the past, my senior sister seemed to often tell her childhood self, "I'll just look at it and not touch it." As a result...

"Why are you doing this?"

"If you teach others, I won't learn from you..."

"To me, you are someone else besides my wife, and my wife is someone other than you, but to you, is my wife someone else?"

"No, but just because I am a madam, I don't want to learn."

The stubborn girl got into trouble again in a strange place, and said seriously:
  "Just follow whatever the madam does. She is a maid."

"Violet..."

"I am a personal guard, not a maid."

……

The personal guards have the duties of personal guards, and the maids have the duties of maids.

Some maids in the house would steal Madam's leftover snacks, maids who were close to her would eat and drink with Madam, and bed-warming maids would sleep with Madam in the cold winter. Over time, those who were close to each other would even follow Madam in the future. dowry.

But that's not the case with personal guards.

The personal guard has a separate room. When eating, the kitchen maid will deliver her special meal to the door.

In the house, the personal guards come and go without a trace.

She will only show up unless the Madam personally summons her or there is a safety issue.

Although she is willing to go through fire and water for Madam's comfort, she will not eat the Madam's leftovers, and she will never be able to... dowry or anything in the future...

Maybe outsiders can't understand it. But this is the bit of dignity that belongs to her.

……

Maybe Gu Jin herself couldn't explain this feeling clearly in a few words, but at the moment, she just didn't want to learn the martial arts that Qin Lang had taught others.

At least...that's what you must say...

"Besides, since Madam has learned martial arts to restrain me, if I try to learn it again, it would be overstepping my bounds."

"..."

Qin Lang didn't believe her nonsense.

In other words, Qin Lang thought these words were not Gu Jin's sincerity.

"You take Madam so seriously, so as the most important person around Madam, don't you value yourself?"

"My wife is the flower, and I am the leaf. The leaves not only set off the flower, but also support it."

What the girl meant by this was probably that even if she and Su Yinping were the same person and grew on the same plant, they still had to distinguish the flowers from the leaves.

To be honest, Qin Lang couldn't agree with her words.

"That's fine."

Finally, he said these three unclear words to her, then turned and left.

--------

Starting from the second day, Qin Lang no longer struggled with teaching Gu Jinlong Xiang Yunpo.

It’s just that I go out early and come back late every day, and I seem to spend more time outside.

Except for practicing for a while in the morning, eating for a while at noon, and sleeping for a while to teach at night, I am not at home the rest of the time.

No one knew why Qin Lang was running around every day. At first, he took Tuantuan with him, but later Tuantuan was also left at home. He held Qin Lang's dried fish all day long and "got drunk" resentfully. Su looked at it. Yin Ping was worried.

"Is it okay if Tuantuan eats dried fish like this every day? I remember there used to be a turtle in the palace. It ate too much dried fish, and in the end it seemed... it seemed to die... Jin'er? Are you listening?"

"Eh...? Oh, yes..."

The girl was absent-minded. Ever since Qin Lang spent more and more time outside every day, she always felt like there was an empty space in her heart.

It's not that I really want to talk to him anymore, it's just that I used to be able to see him, but now I can't, just...

Could it be... that he didn't want to pay attention to her because he was teaching Cloud Sweeping Hands, so he would rather stay outside than go home every day?

But it's about dignity, she does...

Tsk...

Having said that, is her so-called dignity really important...

When this question came to mind, Gu Jin looked down on herself, thinking of those puppies whose owners would forget everything after praising them.

But if he...if the only person she was willing to talk to for more than ten years really no longer wanted to see her or talk to her too much, how long would she regret it?
  One or two years? Or three years to five years?

Is this "friend" she has truly made so far going to be pushed away by herself...

……

Gu Jin didn't have the concept of "friends", at least before she came into contact with Qin Lang.

In fact, before she first met Qin Lang, Gu Jin didn't regard him as a friend.

That night, he said some strange words that made her value life, so later, as a thank you and repayment, she secretly followed him with injuries and helped him kill four people from the Blood Knife Sect.

She thought everything would end there, but for some reason, she seemed to feel what people often call a "friend" from him.

Although Madam also considers herself a friend or even a sister, these are two different things.

At that time...why did it develop like this...

Is it because of the quilt he put on himself that night...

But that was something I had done to him first, but he misunderstood it as being done by his wife. It was considered an invisible courtesy, right?

do not know.

not understand.

For a young girl, relationships between people are really complicated.

The relationship between "friends" is even more complicated, much more complicated than killing someone at the age of ten.
