Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 10

At this moment, Pippi only hoped that he was a gecko, able to quickly climb out of the ground along the smooth wall of the well and escape.

But in the darkness, except for his own breathing, the surroundings were as quiet as a grave. She used her fingernails to scrape hard granite on the wall of the well, leaving no traces.

Immediately afterwards, Helan Jingting’s “sneer” chuckled, unclear or not, meaning infinite, like a needle piercing the air full of tension. Pippi was suddenly too nervous to breathe.

“Are you scared?”

“Sorry, I didn’t know you had a serious heart attack!” Pippi said.

After a few seconds of silence, Helan Jingting did not react: “What did you say?”

“Have you seen a doctor?”

“…”

“You keep avoiding interviews, is it because your heart is not good and you are afraid of being interrupted?”

“…”

“Well, I won’t bother you anymore, and I won’t interview you anymore. You can recover from your illness. Please open the door and I will leave.”

“…I think, you didn’t understand what I mean…” Helan Jingting’s voice was clearly depressed.

“Mr. Helan, please allow me to compliment you. You are very humorous. I feel like a spring breeze to hear you talk. Let’s talk next time. Goodbye!”

“That said, you are indeed scared.”

“…Nothing.”

“Your hands are shaking badly.”

“Nothing.”

“Your legs are shaking.”

“Nothing.”

“What are you afraid of?”

“I am not afraid of anything.”

“Then why did you step on my foot so hard?”

“Sorry.”

The bluestone slab above his head suddenly moved.

The moonlight shone straight down with a cloud of mountain energy, and a flying firefly flew from nowhere, and fell on Pippi’s shoulder. The fluorescent light was shining strangely.

At the same time, Helan Jingting’s white teeth flickered.

Pippi’s soul was in chaos.

After a while, she finally asked: “You said you are not human-then what are you?”

“I am a fox.”

“Are you a fox?”

“Sorry, please use the quantifier “bit” when addressing me. I am more used to others referring to me in a respectful tone.” He Lan Jingting corrected it politely.

“One…a fox?”

“Yes. Human beings are consciously above everything, but after all, they are just a group of monkeys. We are all vertebrates.”

“Uh—” Pippi was speechless.

After a long pause, she asked again: “Then you…Gui Geng this year?”

“I am older than you.”

“How big?”

“Big… eight hundred and seventy-nine years old.”

When Pippi was in a hurry, his mind was very bad, especially when it came to numbers. After a long time of mental calculations, I couldn’t find a correct number. The spine was stuck on the cold well wall, and it couldn’t be tighter. She wished to be turned into a fossil and embedded in it. At the same time, a few stories about Liao Zhai flashed in my mind, but fortunately the fox fairies in it were all positive and kind. However, another story immediately covered all the previous stories with an overwhelming strength.

“Painted Skin”.

Pippi refused to recall the specific content of “Painted Skin” and licked his lips, composing himself: “If you want to eat me, you will regret it.”

“Oh?” Helan Jingting’s tone was very light, but still smiling, “Why?”

“I have AIDS, and I will bite if I am in a hurry.”

Helan Jingting laughed out of breath.

While taking advantage of this, Pippi violently raised his leg to kick, but was quickly caught by his eyesight and hands.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.” He let go of his hand and sat on the other side of the recliner, keeping the farthest distance from her in the bottom of the well.

However, the more he said that, the more Pippi’s voice trembled: “Are you… talking, or… deliberately teasing me?”

“We Fox are very trustworthy.”

“No, you are not a fox.”

“Do you believe me if you want me to say it?” As if offended, He Lan Jingting’s tone was a little impatient.

“It’s very simple. Let me see if you change your shape.”

Helan Jingting smiled.

“I can’t change.”

“I lower my request. You can show me the fox’s tail.”

“I do not have……”

“Then you are not a fox.”

“That’s it—” Helan Jingting explained painfully, “Many of my appearance has disappeared after practicing.”

“I do not understand.”

“Usually, foxes practice from top to bottom, so the tail is the last level. But I came upside down, so the eyes are the last level.”

“Why are you doing it backwards?”

“I was born blind, so I can only come backwards. And it’s very slow. Who made me disabled?”

“You don’t fool me.”

“I’m telling the truth.”

“Well, besides the heartbeat, what else can you prove that you are a fox?”

“My sense of smell is good.”

“What a good way?”

“You got up this morning and used liangmianzhen toothpaste. Then, you ate fried buns, mushroom-flavored. You drank soy milk. Then you went to the newspaper office, and you accidentally stepped on a piece of banana peel on the road. It’s very crowded. You huddled with a girl who sprinkled Gucci perfume. At noon you ate twice-cooked pork and fish porridge. You cherish your teeth and rinse your mouth. This time you use Coral Toothpaste. Then you are tired. Yes, drink strong tea, cheap jasmine tea. Your colleague likes chewing gum, she doesn’t like you, sticks the gum to your chair, you sit down to work, some sticky pants, you still don’t know. Your today Your job is to organize files. You touched hundreds of sheets of paper, each from 30 different ages. The smell of ink is very messy. You took a bus and the bus driver smoked Yuxi cigarettes. You were hungry and ate a lot of beef. Dry and potato chips…you have been irregular menstruation, hormones cause you to smell changes, but I have reason to believe that you will have menstruation tonight…”

“Helan Jingting, dare you follow me!”

“I can’t see anything during the day, can I follow you?”

“You can’t see? Who knows if this is true or false?”

“Guan Pippi, a stupid woman like you, I don’t want to waste my intelligence to lie.”

“Either you transform yourself to prove that you are a fox, or you are a liar.”

“I’ll take you home, the conversation ends here.” Helan Jingting suddenly took her arm, suddenly jumped up slightly, and took her out of the well.

“Hey, you jump higher than Liu Xiang, why don’t you report the 100-meter hurdle for the Olympics?”

“Can you shut up?”

“…”

The atmosphere in the car is very wrong.

Helan Jingting kept her face gloomy.

Pippi couldn’t sit still, so she had no choice but to find a word: “Apart from flowers, what else do you eat?”

“I can eat people.”

“Funny. There are chemical additives in everything we eat now, we are not green food…”

“So I’m very picky.”

“Then you must look down on me, really. I have hepatitis.”

“Speaking of liver, this is my favorite thing to eat.”

“Then next time I will ask you to eat fried pork liver.”

A certain popularity knot.

Pippi ignored him and continued: “Have you noticed that in this world, it is easy to prove that you are a human, and it is difficult to prove that you are not a human.”

With a “squeak”, the car stopped suddenly. Although he was wearing a seat belt, Pippi shrugged forward, and was tightly bound by the seat belt, his ribs were strangled with pain.

Helan Jingting jumped out of the car, dragged her out of the car, and dragged her under a big tree. Suddenly he caught her neck with both hands and said coldly, “If I eat you now, would it? Can you prove it?”
