Chapter 74 Painted Girl

Jing Yu really couldn't understand why Xu Ruyi suddenly asked this question.

And Xu Ruyi also realized that Jing Yu didn't seem to feel her affection.

"Then what can I do to make you feel that I like you very much?"

Jing Yu: "..."

Although Xu Ruyi has always doted on him, he could definitely feel that Xu Ruyi seemed to have some misunderstanding about love.

Just like an ignorant girl.

Although he didn't understand what liking meant, he still had to ask a question.

"Princess, why do you have to like me?"

Xu Ruyi said coquettishly: "Can't I like you?"

Jing Yu: "..."

He really couldn't answer her words.

Jing Yu couldn't stop Xu Ruyi from doing something, but he still wanted to tell her: "Liking for someone is a feeling from the heart. It is not a lesson, nor is it some profound knowledge..."

As Jing Yu talked, he couldn't help himself.

But the moment he finished speaking, he found that Xu Ruyi had stopped speaking. When he turned around, he was surprised to find that her expression was a little gloomy.

When Jing Yu saw this, he quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean that you don't know how to like me. I'm a stupid person, and I'm not a good man recognized by the world. I was planning to be a bachelor in this life.

Come on...so, I don’t know why you chose me, princess..."

Xu Ruyi just looked at his flustered expression and didn't answer.

Jing Yu felt even more uneasy when he saw that she didn't speak. He didn't know what he said wrongly to make his aunt unhappy.

"Um..." Jing Yu apologized seriously again, "If I said something wrong, just scold me directly instead of sulking in your heart..."

His words made Xu Ruyi laugh: "Young gentleman is so cute, how can I be willing to scold you?"

"Then...can I put you to sleep?"

It's so late, this little aunt should be settled, otherwise she will keep clinging to him and make him at a loss.

Fortunately, Xu Ruyi was still willing to let him coax her to sleep, so she lay on the bed and invited Jing Yu: "Then lie next to me and coax me to sleep~"

"hold head high!"

Jing Yu hurriedly lay down next to Xu Ruyi. As soon as he lay down, Xu Ruyi turned to her side and asked, "Can you smell my scent?"

When Jing Yu heard this, he thought she had some strange smell, but he thought it was unlikely, so he said, "It doesn't smell like anything!"

Xu Ruyi frowned and said: "You are not serious, listen carefully!"

Jing Yu had no choice but to move closer and sniff gently.

"Closer."

Jing Yu: "..."

He didn't want to make his aunt unhappy, so he cautiously approached her again until the tip of his nose touched her collarbone.

He then replied: "Is it close enough?"

"Can you smell what it smells like?"

"It smells like flowers..."

"Almost, let's smell it again!"

"Um...milk?"

"Smart!" Xu Ruyi said happily, "It's peony milk!"

Jing Yu raised the corners of his mouth, knowing that Xu Ruyi must want to hear his approval.

"Well, it does smell good!"

"This is more than just fragrance, it's called luxury. The concubines in the harem don't dare to bathe with peonies all day long, because the number of peonies in the palace is limited and the purchasing process is very cumbersome. But you, young man, are different. You are simply me.

My treasure, you can get me whatever I want! Today is another day to fall in love with my little husband!"

When Xu Ruyi said this, she suddenly got excited and pushed Jing Yu into her arms, hugging him tightly.

For Jing Yu, it was simply a surprise. He seemed to be thrust into Xu Ruyi's arms. He had completely smelled the rich smell of peony milk on Xu Ruyi's body, but her hug was too tight.

, causing Jing Yu to beg for mercy: "Take it easy, take it easy... I can't breathe..."

Only then did Xu Ruyi let go of him and said, "Sorry, I got a little excited just now."

Jing Yu: "..."

He felt that she was not sleepy at all, but that she was very energetic after taking a bath.

Xu Ruyi said: "Little man, would you like to tell me a bedtime story?"

"I don't have a bedtime story..."

He has no children, so how can he stock up on such things?

Unexpectedly, Xu Ruyi did not dislike him, but said to him: "Then let me tell you~"

Jing Yu nodded, maybe telling a story would make one of them sleepy!

Then, Jing Yu heard Xu Ruyi say: "Have you ever heard of the story of painted skin?"

Jing Yu nodded: "I've heard of it."

"Then do you believe there is such a thing as painted skin in this world?"

Jing Yu: "..."

She wouldn't want to tell a ghost story in the middle of the night, would she?

But if she wants to talk, he can't help but listen...

Just listen to Xu Ruyi continue: "Actually, there are many ghosts in this world, but not every ghost can become a painting skin, because no one provides them with the human skin. If a person can control his own bones after death,

If they can find a suitable human skin, then they will become bone girls. Bone girls are different from ordinary ghosts. They can travel through the world, be seen by others, and even blatantly claim their lives..."

After Jing Yu heard this story, his pupils gradually widened.

He didn't know if this was Xu Ruyi's bad taste, but in the middle of the night, he was frightened out of his wits.

Xu Ruyi looked at Jing Yu's trembling appearance, poked his head and said: "What are you afraid of? Ghosts will not hurt people for no reason, they will only look for people who have hurt them before they were alive. They dare to love and hate

, there will be no intrigue, and ghosts can even play together, which is much more harmonious than humans. And what I want to tell is the story of a painted-skinned girl falling in love with a boy."

Jing Yu blinked and said, "Don't you know what liking is? How are you sure that the painted girl likes that boy?"

"That feeling should be like..."

At this point, Xu Ruyi seemed to be thinking about whether she liked the feeling or not. She was not sure, so she asked Xiang Jingyu: "If you were a ghost with only bones left, how could you look at it when you were most helpless?

When you see a young man holding your portrait in his hand, the material of the portrait and the person in the painting can be your skin. Then, will you fall in love with the young man who gave you this skin?"

Just listening to this story, Jing Yu felt chills running down his back.

If he were that young man, he would definitely be scared to death by this painted-skinned girl!

"Princess, how about I prepare two bedtime stories for you tomorrow! Let's not talk about this anymore. We won't be able to sleep while talking about this!"

Xu Ruyi lowered her head and asked, "Don't you like hearing it?"

Jing Yu said, dumbfounded: "I'm a little timid, this kind of story is suitable for telling me during the day..."
