Chapter 066 No longer a teenager
The first time he practiced target shooting was at an indoor learning range. From before twelve o'clock until the shooting range closed at eight o'clock, Song Boxian finally got the stamped certificate of completion without even bothering to have lunch. Song Baixian, who was serving food, forcibly spent half a day to get the graduation certificate to avoid long nights and dreams.
Wei Xinlan was also happy to do this. It was just a lunch. The most important thing was that he guaranteed that Song Boxian would own a gun. With the certificate of graduation, he no longer had to worry about Song Boxian cheating him.
"Old Song, are you not allowed to treat me to a meal?"
Song Boxian was smiling and was getting excited when he suddenly thought of something. He raised his head suddenly and frightened Wei Xinlan: "Brother Wei, what time is it?"
"It's past 8:10. I have to leave after returning the gun. After dinner, I will write a report to you overnight so that Captain Xu won't worry."
"It's bad..."
Song Boxian remembered that he had promised Liu Zixi to have dinner with her early this morning, and judging from Liu Zixi's attitude, he had to make a clear decision on emotional matters tonight, so he immediately put away his graduation certificate and ran while shouting: "Brother Wei, I have something urgent. , after tonight, I invite you to go to the Qinhuai River..."
Seeing Song Boxian's situation, Wei Xinlan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake her head, thinking that this guy was too stingy.
After leaving the shooting range gate and being searched by the guards, Song Boxian immediately called a taxi: "Master, Dafeng BBQ chain store, hurry up..."
Because the shooting range stipulates that mobile phones are not allowed into the shooting room, Song Boxian didn't know the situation at all. When he turned on his mobile phone in the car, he found more than a dozen missed calls and more than a hundred WeChat messages, all of which were sent by Liu Zixi: "I'm in a hurry." Master, please add more money..."
Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 15 minutes to get to Fengtai East Road. After Song Boxian said that the fare would be increased by 10 yuan, the driver took a shortcut along the alley to reach the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. Song Boxian got off the car and ran into the store.
The waiter came forward and said with a smile: "Brother, have you made a reservation?"
Song Boxian remembered that he had ordered it early in the morning and said: "I ordered it online this morning. My surname is Song, the last number is 9963..."
The waiter opened the record book and checked it, then smiled and said: "Turn in to Hall 13. There is already a young lady waiting inside for a long time..."
Song Boxian breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he was still there, so he packed up his clothes and walked over slowly.
When he opened the private room door, he saw Liu Zixi looking at the rotating barbecue grill with red eyes, staring in a daze.
"Ahem..."
Song Boxian coughed, and Liu Zixi came back to his senses. When he looked up, his look could kill Song Boxian countless times.
Song Boxian smiled awkwardly: "Hey, Zixi, what about that, let me explain it first."
"No need to explain. You're always like this. You haven't started eating yet. Just answer me directly..."
Song Boxian put down his backpack, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Zixi, put aside other questions, answer me first, why do you like me?"
Song Boxian was confident enough not to reveal his identity, and he would not believe that the people in the county prince's palace would be bored enough to reveal his identity. Therefore, Song Boxian would not consider that Liu Zixi liked him because of his identity. Apart from this, he did Curious for what?
Moreover, Song Boxian also felt that Liu Zixi's identity was not simple. If she was not a high-ranking official, she was from a noble family. However, Song Boxian was not good at studying history. He had already made up his mind to be evil after returning. Supplement all historical knowledge about the Ming Empire in this era to avoid cultural disadvantages.
Faced with Song Boxian's inquiry, Liu Zixi thought for a while and said: "I found you very attractive on the first day of school. You are the only boy I have seen in the more than a year of school who interested me. We have been in contact for a long time. I think I like your character very much, it’s that simple.”
There are so many reasons why a girl likes a boy. After the veil is lifted, there is something that cannot be said.
He really wanted to ask Han Shijia again, but in order not to offend, Song Boxian still said: "Do you know that Han Shijia is pursuing me?"
At this point, Liu Zixi disagreed: "What if you know? So what if you don't know? I also know that Nangong also likes you, but I think they will all lose to me because they are not direct enough. If you want something good, you have to start early."
Song Boxian's eyes twitched. This woman was indeed very arrogant. She actually compared herself to an object: "I really have to thank you very much for paying attention to me for so long."
Speaking of this, Song Boxian asked again: "Zixi, is your family from a famous family?"
Liu Zixi was stunned, and Song Boxian saw that she was obviously hesitating, so he said: "That's it if you don't say anything. At least Han Shijia has admitted his own life experience."
"What's so impressive about a family that is a vassal of a vassal king?"
When Song Boxian heard this, he thought to himself that Liu Zixi was indeed of a high background, otherwise he would not have ridiculed the dignified Jin vassal chief, so he said: "You put it that way, your family is at least a descendant of Xungui. As far as I know, our Ming Dynasty Among the 28 Dukes passed down from generation to generation, there really is a Duke named Liu. I wonder if you were born among them?"
Liu Zixi covered her mouth and snickered, and then said: "Are you talking about the Duke of Xiang's Palace? You think highly of me. I also want to climb high, but it's a pity that I didn't look in the right direction when I was reincarnated."
This showed that it was no longer the Duke's palace. Song Boxian wanted to use his mobile phone to check at this moment, but he thought that doing so might hurt Liu Zixi's heart, so he said again: "Are you sure you like an ordinary commoner like me? Your family agrees. ?"
Liu Zixi pouted and said: "You are really annoyed. I find a boyfriend by myself. What does it have to do with my family?"
Song Boxian thought of Han Shijia's situation, so he deliberately said: "Han Shijia said last time that she would not marry anyone but me. I originally didn't want to get in touch with their family. After all, the Jin Dynasty has deep roots, and their family seems to have been a long history of the Jin Dynasty for generations. Han Shijia herself is quite I can't afford to offend the people of Yu Jin Fan. If Han Shijia knows that we are dating and blames you, I won't be able to protect you."
Liu Zixi found it funny when she saw Song Boxian's cowardly look. With their family's background, they really weren't afraid of a long history of the Jin vassal, so he said, "You mean you agree to let me be your girlfriend."
"You didn't come here because you thought I would become a rich man in the future, right?"
Liu Zixi had a black line on his face, and his face suddenly turned dark. Seeing that something was not going well, Song Boxian immediately picked up the overcooked squid skewers and handed them to Liu Zixi: "Here, eat a skewer, I'm hungry too, from noon to now Just drank a glass of water.”
At this point, Liu Zixi asked: "You asked me to come at six o'clock, but I waited for you for two hours. Also, I didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to WeChat messages. You can explain to me."
Song Boxian felt that he could not reveal his identity as a Jinyiwei, so he took out the graduation certificate and showed it to Liu Zixi. Liu Zixi looked confused and raised his head and said: "There is also a graduation certificate for target shooting, what are you doing with this?"
Song Boxian laughed: "Isn't the Imperial College free to choose a major? I think with this, I can consider military majors when the time comes. In short, I don't have to worry about having too many certificates, but I just worry about not having them when I need them."
This lie was so true that no one would doubt it, let alone Liu Zixi, a very nervous woman in Song Boxian's eyes.
Liu Zixi curled her lips and breathed quickly: "At least answer the phone. I've been waiting for you for two hours. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"It's not that I don't want to. You can't bring your mobile phone during target practice. I only saw it after we left the shooting range. Okay, my sister Zixi, let's start eating."
"It's sister..."
"Yes, sister Zixi, eat it, it's almost burnt."
It was already half past nine after the two of them finished the barbecue. When they walked out of the door, Liu Zixi looked at Song Boxian and said in a low voice with embarrassment: "Baixian, now...we have officially confirmed our relationship, right?"
Can Song Baixian still refuse? Obviously not, so he nodded solemnly, then put his arm around Liu Zixi's shoulders and said with a smile: "My Zixi, tell me, what will you do next?"
Liu Zixi raised his eyes and glared: "Stop thinking nonsense and send me home."
"Are we not children anymore?"
Liu Zixi turned around and was shocked, "Song Boxian, are you pretending to be innocent before? You are really a sanctimonious hypocrite."
Song Boxian chuckled, then shook his head: "I'm teasing you, you really think of yourself as a treasure."
"Song Baoxian, you..."
Liu Zixi was about to curse, but suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important thing: "Song Boxian, what's wrong with your face?"
The redness and swelling were caused by a previous sneak attack.
Because she put her feelings first, she didn't pay attention when Song Boxian walked in first. Now she pointed at Song Boxian's nose and wanted to scold him, and then she realized the matter.
Song Boxian pulled Liu Zixi and laughed as he walked: "I didn't pay attention when I went home last night. I was knocked down by a wild dog at the entrance of the alley. It almost happened to hit a telephone pole. Good guy, I was hit and swollen. , if I hadn’t applied ice in time all night, I wouldn’t have been able to see anyone today.”
Of course Song Boxian couldn't tell the truth, and Liu Zixi was easy to lie. Seeing Song Boxian like that, she lost the energy to curse, so she took Song Boxian's hand and said, "Let's go, take me home."
Liu Zixi lived in Qilin District, in the alley of Qilinmen Nei Street. However, at the entrance of the alley, Liu Zixi asked Song Boxian to go back and walked in. Obviously, she did not want to reveal her identity.
People were coming and going at the entrance of the alley. A middle-aged man came over, dressed very casually. He glanced at Liu Zixi and then at Song Boxian. Without saying hello, he just stood aside and looked at his mobile phone.
Song Boxian thought it was far away from home, so he simply went to take the subway. After saying hello to Liu Zixi, he turned around and left. It wasn't until Song Boxian got on the car and left that Liu Zixi walked over and said angrily: "Uncle Liu, why are you standing here? , spoil my good deeds."
The middle-aged man is the chief steward of the Yanzhou Marquis Mansion, and is called 'Uncle Liu'. He is the son of the Liu family: "Miss, this boy looks familiar to me."
Liu Zixi's eyes lit up: "Do you know him?"
Uncle Liu nodded, then shook his head: "He looks familiar, but I can't tell. It seems like I saw him once a long time ago, but I can't remember."
"If you can't remember it, don't think about it..."
Liu Zixi turned around and walked towards the Hou Mansion in the alley without saying hello.
