A Chou was a boy in a Yichun building. His mother died after giving birth to him in a brothel. Fortunately, the sisters in Yichun House saw him as pitiful and gave him a mouthful of food to prevent him from starving to death right after he was born.
But the madam didn't want to raise a freeloader, so when he got older, he kept letting him do dirty work.
As the name suggests, Ah Chou is very ugly.
There was a large birthmark on his face, from his right eye to his cheek, a dark mass on his face, which looked intimidating.
Shen Jiao was in the limelight recently, so the madam sent a bunch of people over to serve her, including him.
A Chou waited outside the guest room with his head lowered, mesmerized by the beautiful pipa sound coming from inside. Although he was young, hadn't read any books, and didn't know much about music theory, he thought the sound sounded very nice.
She plays better than other sisters.
After a while, the guest came out of the room, followed immediately by Sister Shen.
A Chou followed Shen Jiao, and he went wherever Shen Jiao went, like her shadow.
"What? Do you want to follow me when I enter the bedroom?" A voice with a smile sounded crisply in his ears.
A Chou came to his senses and screamed, only to realize that he had followed Sister Shen's door. Further inside is her bedroom...
A Chou couldn't help but blush, took two steps back, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry..."
Shen Jiao saw two blushes appearing on his big black face. The whole face was red and black, and it seemed a little familiar...
It seems a bit like Guan Gong... the kind who is about to go on stage to sing.
Shen Jiao couldn't help but laugh out loud due to her own imagination.
A Chou thought that Shen Jiao would punish him, after all, everyone said that Sister Shen was difficult to get along with.
But he lowered his head and waited for a long time, and what he received was not a scolding, but a chuckle.
There was no malice or ridicule in that smile, it was just a very simple smile.
A Chou raised his head and looked at her blankly, looking at her smile with crooked eyebrows. Under the candlelight, they looked like pearls dizzy, with their brilliance drifting away.
Has Sister Shen ever been so good-looking before?
Shen Jiao used to be like a dusty pearl, dim and inconspicuous. But now... it is like the most dazzling gem, so dazzling that no one can ignore it.
When Shen Jiao saw that the boy was staring at her cautiously, she couldn't laugh anymore.
She actually laughed at a child...she deserved to die...
Shen Jiao coughed slightly and unnaturally changed the subject, "What's your name?"
"I..." A Chou found it difficult to say his name for the first time. With a name like his, anyone would laugh at him.
"what's your name?"
"My name is A Chou."
"Ah Chou?"
A Chou lowered his head and admitted sheepishly: "Well, well..."
But Sister Shen didn't laugh at him, she just said, "This name is quite special."
"Okay, A Chou, please go down first. I want to rest." After saying that, Shen Jiao smiled at him, closed the door and went in.
A Chou looked at the closed door and thought blankly, is he so ugly and humble, so special?
…
Huo Qi was completely defeated.
Since the last separation, he couldn't eat or sleep well. He was thinking about Mrs. Shen day and night. He felt like he had met his destiny.
It's just that the destined person came a little late...
But it doesn't matter, Mrs. Shen came from a humble background. Although he is a little older, no matter how much he says, he was once a powerful general who made countless military exploits in his early years.
He had both money and status, so Mrs. Shen didn't feel wronged by following him.
The more Huo Qi thought about it, the more excited he became. He asked someone to get the money and went to Yichun Tower to redeem Shen Jiao.
…
"What? You don't want to? Do you think I'm getting old?"
nonsense! Don't you know how old you are? You can be her grandfather! Shen Jiao thought to herself.
But she said: "How can the general be old? The general is in his prime... It is not the general's problem, but that I am not worthy of the general..."
"The little girl comes from a humble background and has long since dared not expect to marry into a good family. Now that the general has helped me regain my freedom, the little girl is extremely grateful. Even if I work like a cow in this life, I will never be able to repay the general's kindness... How dare I do it again? Xiao wants to do something else..."
After saying that, Shen Jiao actually shed tears.
Seeing the beauty crying so hard, Huo Qi felt pity for Shen Jiao even more, and felt that his attitude just now was too harsh.
So Huo Qi stretched out his hand to help Shen Jiao up from the ground, "Who said you are not worthy? If I say you are worthy, then you are worthy. Not to mention being a concubine, even if you are my wife, you are worthy."
Huo Qi sighed, seemingly helpless: "If I hadn't already married, how could I have wronged you to be my concubine? Don't worry, when you get married, you will be my only wife in my heart."
Shen Jiao listened to Huo Qi's heartfelt words and was unmoved. Having said all that, can I just be a concubine? If a dog man doesn't have the time to paint a big picture for her, it would be more practical to give her some money.
But she still had to show off.
Shen Jiao glanced at Huo Qi, then quickly lowered her eyes, her cheeks were pink, and she whispered as if she had no words left:
"Actually...after our last farewell, I...have already regarded the general as a confidant in my heart."
Shen Jiao felt sick while saying these words. She felt that she had sacrificed too much for the mission.
[Is this a work-related injury? Is there any compensation or anything like that? 】
【……No. 】
【What a sting. 】
When Huo Qi heard that Shen Jiao was also interested in him, he was so excited that his face turned red. He kept breathing heavily, and the boy behind him quickly came over and patted his back to help him calm down.
Shen Jiao looked at him like that, fearing that he would belch before he could catch his breath.
Huo Qi came forward excitedly and held her hand affectionately.
He didn't expect that someone could meet his true love even in his later years. Huo Qi suddenly felt like a dead tree was blooming, and he just wanted to dig out his heart and lungs for Shen Jiao.
"Jiao'er, I will never let you down."
