Chapter 376: 3: Still at midnight
As soon as the competition began, the people below let out loud screams. Meng Yin even jumped up and cheered, and the two people next to him almost popped their eyes out.
Just now, when the whistle sounded, everyone saw a purple figure flying up and grabbing the ball at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, the ball had been put into the highest basket by Gu Ling.
This whole process is completed in the moment of inhalation and exhalation.
“Ahhh! Gu Ling Gu Ling!” Meng Yin yelled, not forgetting to pull the two people next to him, and said proudly: “See, I said he would win, hurry up, it’s agreed that each of them will win ten taels.”
Their jaws dropped in shock and they gave her the silver in a daze.
Meng Yin weighed it and couldn't stop smiling. She didn't expect that she would get something unexpected from going out for fun.
Suddenly, someone put his arms around her waist from behind. Meng Yin thought it was that lecher, but when she turned around, she found it was Gu Ling, and she immediately smiled happily.
He held a fluffy hat in his hand and handed it to Meng Yin.
Meng Yin took it happily, hooked her fingers inside and turned it around a few times.
Gu Ling glanced at the two people, bowed his head and asked: "Ayin, what did you say to them just now?"
Meng Yin laughed and said, "They just called you a gigolo, and I scolded them, and I even won twenty taels of silver, hahaha."
Gu Ling smiled, looked at the two people who were still stunned, and said hurriedly: "I don't know the real master."
Gu Ling snorted coldly and was about to leave here with Meng Yin protected. The tall man suddenly asked, "Excuse me, sir, is this... Mr. Gu from the cabinet?"
Gu Ling turned his head and glanced at him. The tall man subconsciously took a step back. When he came to his senses, the two had already left.
Meng Yin flipped through the brain in her hand. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She simply put it on and winked at Gu Ling: "Does it look good?"
Gu Ling couldn't help it, and pulled her to a deserted corner and kissed her for a long time, until Meng Yin's lips turned unnatural red, and then he let her go.
After coming out, Meng Yin was still angry, but then she saw a new prize, a pair of jade rabbits, with a soft texture, emitting a faint glow under the moonlight.
Meng Yin liked it again, so Gu Ling naturally went to win. After going back and forth for several times, almost all the prizes were won by the two of them. When Gu Ling went up again, the man carrying the plates walked carefully to Meng Yin and whispered, "Look, girl, all the prizes belong to you. No one else has a chance to play..."
Meng Yin said: "We won by our own ability, and the five people on top are all yours. If you can't win, how will others play after we leave?"
The man said quickly: "Okay, then we will reduce the number to four."
Meng Yin looked at the things in her hand and said, "Then you must keep your word." Gu Ling happened to come down, and she took Gu Ling's arm and said, "I will send someone to monitor you."
Half of her face was in shadow when she said this, and the man couldn't help but shudder and nodded repeatedly.
Meng Yin pulled Gu Ling away, and Gu Ling asked, "What's wrong, Yin?"
Meng Yin snickered and said, "Nothing, I was just trying to scare him."
The two of them made a fortune here, but Xu Zheng and Pei Xuanxi only spent money and never earned any, so all the money they earned went into their pockets.
Xu Zheng likes to eat when she goes out to play. She eats along the way and watches the fun along the way. She has always been a lavish spender. She had bonuses in the past, and now that someone is pampering her, she is even more unscrupulous.
The leftovers were thrown to Pei Xuanxi, and the unpalatable food was also thrown to him. Later, Xu Zheng took a break because he couldn't eat any more.
Pei Xuanxi held her up and said, "A Zheng, it seems we need to intensify our sparring."
Xu Zheng touched her round belly and thought to herself that it was not good. It seemed that she had indulged herself a little. She said quickly, "Okay, I haven't practiced for some time. I can't go easy on you."
It has been some time since their last sparring session. Xu Zheng vaguely felt that Pei Xuanxi was giving in to her, which made her a little unhappy. But she was not weak, so why should she give in?
Pei Xuanxi curled his lips and said, "In that case...even if A Zheng says to stop, I won't stop."
Xu Zheng's eyes widened, she pointed her finger at his chest and said angrily, "Who said I would lose? I won't say stop."
Pei Xuanxi hugged her and coaxed her, "Okay, let's start practicing when we get back."
Xu Zheng thought for a moment and decided that after eating so much tonight, it was time to practice. She shouted, "Okay, let's practice until midnight, okay?"
Pei Xuanxi's smile became more gentle, with a sense of success in it.
"Okay, we'll all listen to A Zheng, and we won't stop until midnight."

"Girl, just take it."
Xia Nian glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I'm married."
The young master paused, not quite believing it, "Miss, are you unwilling to accept this jade pendant and are you lying to me?"
Xia Nian said calmly: "Believe it or not."
She turned and walked to the side, but was stopped by a man after she had taken a few steps. The man handed her a handkerchief. Xia Nian refused directly without even looking at him. The man couldn't bear to lose face and followed her.
Xia Nian glanced at him with disgust, turned his head and said, "Stay away from me, don't blame me for not warning you."
When the man heard her frown, he laughed instead of getting angry. He quickened his pace and said jokingly, "Girl, although I can only give you a handkerchief now, it won't hurt for you to follow me. I have more than ten acres of fertile land at home, and I only have one father. You..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Nian suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and said coldly, "Get lost."
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't think you can get ahead just because you're pretty." As the man spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and raised his thick eyebrows. Obviously, even after he said so much, Xia Nian still looked disgusted, which hurt his narrow self-esteem.
Besides being angry, Xia Nian also felt speechless. She always encountered such things in modern times. Why was it the same in ancient times? This was really fate.
Seeing that Xia Nian ignored him and didn't look at him, the man stretched out his hand and tried to force the handkerchief into her hand. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt a powerful force kicking him in the stomach, and his saliva spurted out.
Xia Nian stepped back subconsciously, and someone hugged her waist again. She didn't look back, and heard Xia Houyu's angry voice in her ears: "Take him away, give him twenty lashes, and put him in the water dungeon for a year."
Someone immediately went up to arrest the man, who yelled, "I didn't do anything, why are you accusing me?"
Xiahou Yu sneered, "You harassed the ladies of the cabinet in the street. If it weren't for the festival today, your head would have been chopped off. Take him away!"
The guard immediately wrapped something around his mouth and carried him away.
The city order has always stipulated that men and women can express their love to each other, but if the other party refuses and continues to pester him, he will be beaten with twenty sticks in the street. What's more, the girl he harassed is not an ordinary girl. If today is not the Lantern Festival, he will definitely be beaten with blood.
Xia Houyu turned to look at Xia Nian, and looked her up and down. "Is everything okay? It's my fault for being late."
Xia Nian shook his head, much calmer than Xia Houyu, and said: "No, but why is his punishment not so severe today because it is a holiday?"
Xiahou Yu explained: "Today is a festive day, and you are not in good health. I am worried that seeing blood on such a day will offend you."
Xia Nian understood and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. I don't believe it."
Xiahou Yu said: "I don't believe it either, but I don't want to be careless about Ah Nian's matter."
So, he chose to take action after the holiday.
