The beauty is in my arms, the young marshal's eyes are red at night

Xu Kexin has been feeling uneasy these days.

She hadn't seen Zhou Shi for more than half a month.

This year’s New Year comes very late. It’s already late February, and there are still three days until the New Year.

She has been following Master Jiu for more than two months.

Before, she didn't get to see Zhou Shi every day, but it was like this time that she hadn't seen him for more than half a month.

The teacher comes every day.

After studying with her husband for these days, she can already recognize many words.

She is 17 years old. It is difficult to start learning at this age. Her husband said that she has a good memory and good comprehension, and she learns faster than ordinary people.

The back of his hand suddenly hurt. Xu Kexin hissed and subconsciously raised his eyes, only to meet the serious face of his husband.

She was distracted again.

Although she travels with the troupe all year round, in order to prevent others from discovering that she is a woman, she wears long sleeves and trousers all year round, and her skin does not tan.

The ruler hit the back of her hand, and a clearly visible red mark immediately appeared on her fair skin.

The gentleman is very strict, but not blindly strict.

He rewards and punishes.

Xu Kexin respected him from the bottom of his heart.

"You haven't been focusing on studying these days, and your handwriting is crooked!"

There was a hint of sullenness in the teacher's voice, "You started later than others, how can you still do two things at once! I just praised you for your progress a few days ago, and now you've given it all back to me!"

Xu Kexin apologized quickly: "Sir, I was wrong."

The gentleman sighed and said no more.

She rubbed the back of her sore hands and continued writing.

The husband rarely hit her with a ruler.

During the first two months of study, her husband hit her only a handful of times with a ruler. It happened frequently in the past few days, all because she was unconsciously distracted several times.

Why didn't Master Jiu find her?

After writing a few words, her thoughts drifted to the sky again, and Master Jiu's cold face and his indifferent eyes appeared in her mind.

Those eyes were emotionless and couldn't tell her the answer.

Snapped--

Another click of the ruler.

The husband shook his head helplessly, with an angry look on his face: "You are here, but your heart is not here. What are you thinking about these days?"

"sorry sir!"

She stood up from the futon, bowed several times to the gentleman helplessly, and whispered, "I won't do it again."

"Keep writing."

She said yes and continued writing.

This time she concentrated and didn't let her mind wander again.

Soon it was twelve o'clock.

The husband packed up his books and prepared to go home.

"New Year's Day will be in three days. I won't be coming tomorrow. I'll come back after the New Year."

He said, "I'm not here these days. You still have to study more when you have time. Review the past and learn the new, and remember not to waste your studies."

"Okay, sir." She added, "Happy New Year in advance!"

The teacher nodded, picked up the box and left.

Xu Kexin put away the books, pens and papers on the table and slowly returned to the room.

She lay on her back on the bed, a little lost.

Looking around the room, I was thinking wildly: "Why hasn't Mr. Jiu come to the metropolis for so long? Doesn't he want me anymore? Is he going to leave me so soon?"

It's only been two months!

Yes, it has only been more than two months, but she has undergone earth-shaking changes.

She is much more confident than before.

In the past, she followed Zhou Shi cautiously, always worried that Zhou Shi would abandon her.

She still remembers the day it snowed for the first time in Nancheng, when he told her: "Only you have changed. Even if one day I leave and others leave, it's not that you were abandoned, but that you have a better start."

She was enlightened.

But it was only seven days after those words were said, and Master Jiu had never been to the metropolis again.

Even if one day...

Isn't that a very far-fetched statement?

Xu Kexin didn't understand, but he didn't expect that the so-called "even one day" was only seven days.

She no longer had the first reaction to think that Master Jiu had abandoned her, but after not seeing each other for more than half a month, she still couldn't help but think about whether he had been abandoned.

The shadow of her childhood lingered, and she was a little bored and aggrieved.

The grievance was unwarranted, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

It's just that she selfishly doesn't want the two of them to separate so quickly.

Following Master Jiu, even if the two of them didn't talk much, it was the happiest time for her in so many years.

He understood her well from the beginning.

Thinking of this, a drop of clear tears slipped from the end of his eyes and quickly disappeared into his collar.

She wiped it off with her hands and sat up again.

She went to see Manager Sun.

The metropolis is closed during the day, and Manager Sun is standing in the middle of the hall, supervising the workers.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the metropolis is also well decorated. The hall on the first floor is decorated in red, decorated with lanterns and colors, and it is full of joy.

Seeing Xu Kexin coming down, he smiled broadly: "Miss Xu, get out of class is over?"

"get out of class has ended."

She hesitated and asked him, "Manager Sun, where has Master Jiu been these days?"

"I do not know."

Manager Sun smiled cheerfully and said, "Master Jiu has a lot of things to do, so he must be busy somewhere, right? I am only responsible for the management of the metropolis, and he will not tell me his schedule."

Xu Kexin made a disappointed sound.

Manager Sun didn't even know, and it was even less possible for her to know.

Also, Master Jiu never tells her his itinerary.

Where has he gone? Where can she ask?

Manager Sun observed her words and saw that her mood was not right, so he knew that Master Jiu had not greeted her before leaving.

"Brother Yue hasn't been here for a while."

He smiled and said, "In the past, when Master Jiu was away in Nancheng, I would always ask Brother Yue for anything. Now he hasn't come either. Maybe he went out with Master Jiu to do something important."

Xu Kexin heard the relief in his tone.

Even if Master Jiu leaves without saying goodbye, Brother Yue will not do the same. He will still be responsible for the business of the metropolis.

Both of them were half a month away, so they must have something urgent to do.

These words really comforted her.

Her mood became lighter and she smiled and said thank you to Manager Sun.

She ran back upstairs.

She knew that Master Jiu was very busy.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shi also told her that if he wanted to leave, he would also arrange a good future for her.

He hasn't spoken yet, it doesn't mean he doesn't want her anymore.

She took out a photo from the drawer.

The photo was a photo of her and Zhou Shi. It was a photo taken by Manager Sun when they were building a snowman together when it snowed for the first time in Nancheng.

His eyebrows were as cold and distant as ever, but they couldn't hide his good-looking facial features.

And she, holding his arm, smiled sweetly.

"I like it so much, Master Jiu." She touched her face from last week in the photo and softly uttered these words.

No one can hear her, and I don’t know if the February wind can carry her love away.
