Chapter 55: The Importance of Plan B 

This was Tian Jingzhi's third first kiss.

After Xue Lingqiao finished feeding her blood, he looked down at Tian Jingzhi, only to see her face flushed and avoiding his face. He suddenly felt amused and gave her a mischievous smile.

"Your heartbeat is so fast and your face is so red, so you are also a woman..."

Tian Jingzhi was so angry that she hit him: "Of course, I'm not only a woman, but also a goddess. I said that I didn't need special treatment, don't you understand human language? Ye scum visited me earlier, and just Xiaoyan called and told me to be careful of the resurrected mummy. They are like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and it's only a matter of time before they suspect you. If you keep saving me like this, what will happen if I was dragged away for a blood test?" pu retl . com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

Xue Lingqiao made a rare joke: "It's a big deal, I'll take you with me to live in the wilderness."

She struggled for so long, and even went to Africa to dig wells for the sake of charity. All to end up living like a wild person in the wilderness?

Tian Jingzhi couldn't communicate with him at all. She turned her back towards him resentfully: "You don’t understand at all, why should I live in the wild with you? Aren't you rich? As friends, we don’t even have the basics of trust. How can a monster get a huge sum of money if he doesn't rob a bank?"

Xue Lingqiao touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I'll tell you... it's not impossible."

Tian Jingzhi immediately turned her head happily, staring at him with a curious expression.

The next day Xue Lingqiao took Tian Jingzhi to his old residence.

Today was closing day, and the whole compound seems to have reverted back to it’s peaceful star from a hundred years ago. It matched well with Tian Jingzhi, who looked like a lady from the late Qing Dynasty.

The chair in the study was moved outside. Tian Jingzhi, who was wearing a dress of a noble lady in the late Qing Dynasty, put her legs on the armrests and one hand on top of her eyebrows. She was posing as if she was lounging by the beach, vacationing by the sea.

Xue Lingqiao took a photo of her and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"People from 100 years ago wouldn't pose like this while taking pictures."

"But I'm a modern person, why should I match your aesthetics?"

Xue Lingqiao said solemnly: "Today is closing day. We sneaked in not to play, but to help retrieve my memory."

"You liar. You said you would tell me where the money came from..." Seeing Xue Lingqiao's black face, Tian Jingzhi instantly quieted down, "Okay, okay, how do I help?" pu retl . com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

"I had a very strong sense of déjà vu when I met a mother and son in a taekwondo gym. It seems like a long time ago, I also met such a mother and son pair. Someone who only forgets important things is medically known as an episodic amnesiac. One known treatment is for the patient to repeat the experience. The common pose from a hundred years ago was basically standing or sitting, so don’t pose like that."

Xue Lingqiao was a photography enthusiast a hundred years ago and wanted to retrieve his memories by taking pictures. Tian Jingzhi understood and immediately corrected her attitude.

"Okay, in order to quickly solve your troubles, come, let the cool evening breeze arise!"

Like a gentle, noble girl from a wealthy family, or a woman holding a circular fan, leisurely admiring flowers under the porch, or a lively maiden fluttering around in her large garden. Tian Jingzhi was worthy of being called a professional actress. Although her acting skills were a bit poor, her cooperative skills were high.

They finally finished work after a full afternoon of filming. Tian Jingzhi stretched her back, as she was finally free to pursue Xue Lingqiao’s old house.

"This must have been an expensive home even a hundred years ago. There must be many girls crying and wanting to marry you." Tian Jingzhi clapped her hands excitedly, "Maybe you were killed in the name of love! Perhaps your wife found out that you were a monster, then……"

Tian Jingzhi made a slitting-neck gesture, but Xue Lingqiao pulled down her ‘knife’ in disgust. He shook his head and denied.

"Impossible, I definitely do not have a wife. If I were to have a wife, I would definitely not wrong her, but there is nothing in this house that women commonly used."

"If it’s not a woman, did you marry another man?"

"Can’t you be a little more normal?"

Tian Jingzhi looked innocent. "It's been hard for me to think normally ever since I met you."

"Don't worry, I don't have that kind of interest."

"Then you don't have an interest in me either."

"I’m not interested in anyone."

Xue Lingqiao strode forward, and Tian Jingzhi followed with a smile.

"Men all say that, all empty words."

Xue Lingqiao stopped, looked at the sky, and said after a pause: "Look, from the time I was born until now, only the sun and stars have been able to accompany me. Generals age, beauties will withered, this is enviable. Longevity will kill curiosity and enthusiasm." pu retl . com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

The topic suddenly turned serious. Tian Jingzhi thought that if she lived like this for five hundred years, she would have gone crazy. He had fought so hard, Buddha would surely bless him. Tian Jingzhi patted him on the shoulder and looked at him sympathetically: "Don't be so negative. As long as you live, you will encounter good things."

"Will there be good things as long as I live?" Xue Lingqiao looked at her determined expression and was amused, "Then what about your unlucky physique?"

Tian Jingzhi waved her hand and said in a grand manner: "I’m fortunate to not die from my unluckness, right? And as it's always a good thing when I am lucky. So I've encountered a lot of good things, much more than ordinary people. "

What an interesting theory, he wasn’t sure whether to praise her for being open-minded or having a twisted mindset.

Xue Lingqiao smiled and patted her head like a kitten or a puppy, "Well said, good things will happen in life, and so will you."

Tian Jingzhi felt goosebumps all over. It was strange for him to suddenly be so kind to her!

"...Aren't you going to ask to borrow money from me?"

Xue Lingqiao looked up at the eaves and Tian Jingzhi followed his gaze. Suddenly, Xue Lingqiao held her waist and jumped from the ground to the roof’s ridge.

Xue Lingqiao squatted down after he placed Tian Jingzhi down and turned a few tiles in a serious manner.

"What are you looking for?" Tian Jingzhi was afraid of falling, so she sat obediently on the ridge, "You don’t plan to demolish the house, do you?"

Xue Lingqiao didn't answer. After determining the location, he lifted two tiles and took out a faded wooden box. He blew the ash on the box and then threw it to Tian Jingzhi.pu retl . com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

Tian Jingzhi grabbed it inexplicably and saw that the box had been soaked in rainwater and had not been exposed to light for a long time; it was already very worn. But the heavy box was made of a good piece of wood, when it was opened, the contents inside were well preserved—an all-green bracelet. Tian Jingzhi took out the bracelet, looked at it, and her mouth immediately turned into an egg shape.

"Yanglu jadeite...you you you you you...you are too terrifying… how many things have you hidden, you..."

Xue Lingqiao said seriously: "Probably enough to open a private museum."
