Chapter 33: Is It Free?

The young girl's boudoir, the fragrance was intoxicating.

Luo Zijun entered the room, glanced at the hem of someone's skirt, and walked to the table.

Liu Chujian seemed to have caught his gaze.

Her little face flushed red, she immediately lowered her head, went over to put on her embroidered shoes, and said shyly, "Bi'er, serve tea to Young Master Luo."

Bi'er let out a low hum in her throat and went over to pour the tea.

"Young Master Luo, I am truly sorry. I was just about to go to sleep, so..."

Liu Chujian lowered her head to put on her embroidered shoes, her little face red, and came to the table.

"It is fine, it is I who disturbed you."

Luo Zijun did not engage in much small talk and went straight to the point: "Miss Chujian, I have come to visit you tonight on a whim; there is a matter I would like to discuss with you."

"Oh?"

Liu Chujian was somewhat puzzled.

"What is it, Young Master? If it is within my power, I will naturally not refuse."

Bi'er pouted her little lips to the side.

She thought to herself: My young lady is so easily fooled; she clearly said just last night that she would ignore this guy.

Luo Zijun asked: "Miss Chujian, do you like to read books in your spare time?"

Liu Chujian was slightly startled and nodded.

Bi'er interjected: "My young lady comes from a scholarly family and has loved reading since she was small; she has read every kind of book."

That is not necessarily true.

Have you read erotic novels too?

Luo Zijun glanced at her and stated his purpose directly.

"When I was bored, I wrote a book and wanted to see if it could be published and then sold in bookstores. However, I do not know anyone in this field, nor do I know who to discuss it with, so I could only come to ask Miss Chujian."

Liu Chujian was stunned upon hearing this: "Young Master can write books?"

Her eyes then lit up: "May I take a look first?"

Luo Zijun took a thick stack of manuscript from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "It was written on a whim; you can take a look first. If it is no good, it does not matter."

Liu Chujian took it, glanced at the handwriting on it, and confirmed it was his, suddenly feeling a bit impatient: "Young Master Luo, please sit for a moment; I will finish reading it very soon."

She usually read books very quickly.

Especially stories; she could finish an article of tens of thousands of words very quickly.

Luo Zijun nodded.

Just as he was about to sit down, he looked left and right and suddenly felt that sitting here was not very comfortable, with a Young Maid nearby staring intently.

He thought for a moment.

He cupped his hands and said: "Please take your time reading, there is no rush. I will go downstairs to take a leak—oh no, I will go downstairs to sit for a while."

Liu Chujian was startled and looked up at him.

She paused and asked: "Does Young Master like watching them dance?"

Downstairs, there were girls dancing erotic dances at this very moment, the kind that exposed their chests, backs, and thighs.

Luo Zijun replied without hesitation: "I do."

Liu Chujian gave him another deep look, said nothing more, and lowered her head to look at the manuscript in her hands.

Luo Zijun took his leave and departed.

After he left the room, Bi'er immediately said angrily: "Young Lady, look at him! He came to beg you for something, and as soon as he was done, he immediately went downstairs to watch other women dance. That is too much!"

Liu Chujian did not speak; she sat down at the table and lowered her head to read seriously.

Bi'er hummed: "What kind of book could he write? It is nothing more than some pedantic nonsense; bookstores won't want it."

Liu Chujian seemed not to have heard her and had already reached the second page.

The first-floor lobby.

Several girls wearing thin gauze dresses were twisting their waists on the stage, dancing a dance that made one's blood boil.

Below the stage, a crowd of people cheered incessantly.

Luo Zijun went downstairs.

Just as he found a seat, the girl named Shui Shui suddenly walked over and smiled: "Young Master Luo, you came down so quickly? Did you not get to see Sister Chujian? I told you, Sister Chujian is not feeling well and will not be seeing guests lately."

Luo Zijun looked at her and said: "Are you not going out to greet guests?"

Shui Shui smiled: "There are others outside. I have been standing for so long, I came in to rest for a while."

She then blinked her eyes and said: "Young Master Luo, you look very unfamiliar; I thought it was your first time here. Do you know Liu Mama? It is the first time I have seen Mama be so enthusiastic toward someone, actually leading you upstairs herself to find Sister Chujian."

Luo Zijun joked: "Did Liu Mama not tell you? I am her childhood sweetheart, a playmate who grew up with her."

"Hee hee hee hee..."

Shui Shui laughed until she trembled, her little hand gently patting him as she said: "Grew up playing together? I think it was 'playing' together from a young age, hee hee hee hee..."

At the third-floor railing.

Bi'er watched this scene with cold eyes and hummed in her heart: He really is a bad egg!

"Young Master is so interesting, I really like you. How about you pick me tonight, and I can also 'play' with you from a young age, how about that?"

Shui Shui said with a giggle, her soft, fragrant body pressing directly into Luo Zijun's arms.

Luo Zijun said: "Is it free?"

Shui Shui's smile stiffened for a moment, and she waved her hand to pat him: "How annoying, am I not even worth a single penny?"

"But, I am a virgin. I heard that when a virgin comes to a Brothel, not only is it free, but the girls even give out red envelopes?"

Luo Zijun said with a straight face.

Shui Shui covered her mouth and giggled again: "I don't believe it. Young Master is so good at flirting, how could you possibly still be a virgin?"

Luo Zijun sighed and said: "What's the use of being good at flirting? The main thing is having no money."

Shui Shui gave a coquettish huff: "It's not that Young Master has no money, it's that you aren't willing to spend money on me."

Immediately, she added with an envious look on her face: "Yesterday, a young man came to our building. He threw down ten thousand gold just to see Sister Chujian, and he even claimed in public that he was very poor."

Luo Zijun asked in surprise: "There is actually such a generous yet low-key good man in this world? What is his name?" "It seems his name is Luo... hmm?"

Shui Shui suddenly looked at him, froze for a moment, and her eyes gradually widened.

"Why is the young lady looking at me? Could it be that I, this Young Master, am that generous and low-key good man?"

Luo Zijun asked.

Shui Shui: "..."

At this moment, Liu Mama saw him and hurried over, saying: "Young Master Luo, weren't you just invited into the room by Chujian? Why have you come back down?"

Luo Zijun said: "Chujian is tidying up her appearance and asked me to go up later."

Liu Mama smiled at once: "That girl didn't know Young Master Luo would come tonight. She's usually like that; just now, she didn't even comb her hair or put on her shoes before welcoming Young Master Luo into her room. She probably only realized it was improper after entering."

"Then Young Master Luo, please sit for a moment. I still have to go welcome guests. Let Shui Shui keep you company."

Luo Zijun said: "Mama, go ahead and get busy. Shui Shui is quite fun."

!

Shui Shui: "..."

Liu Mama laughed: "This silly girl is out welcoming guests for the first time today. She usually hides in her room and doesn't come out. I didn't expect that her first time would be welcoming Young Master Luo. It is her good fortune. If Young Master Luo finds her fun, then go have fun with her more, even going upstairs to have fun is fine."

"Is it free?"

"Cough, cough..."

Liu Mama coughed, pretended she hadn't heard his words, and hurriedly turned to leave, meeting a young master who had just entered from the doorway: "Young Master Wang, what a great honor to have you here! Welcome, welcome!"

Luo Zijun turned his head and met Shui Shui's rather resentful little gaze.

"Generous and low-key good man Young Master, do you want to get a free ride from me that badly?"

Shui Shui pouted her little mouth, her watery eyes full of resentment.

Luo Zijun hurriedly said: "Just joking, just joking."

Shui Shui wrinkled her little nose and huffed: "Young Master Luo is wealthy and powerful; you threw away ten thousand taels just to see Sister Chujian once, so you can't bear to spend even a tiny bit of silver on me?"

Luo Zijun said: "It's not that I can't bear to, it's that I truly have no silver."

"Hmph."

Shui Shui turned her face away and huffed: "You just think I'm not worth it, so you want to get a free ride."

Luo Zijun really wanted to say, I never even thought about riding you.

Shui Shui's soft, delicate body suddenly pressed into his arms again, and she looked at him with watery, amorous eyes: "Young Master Luo, let's go upstairs. I'll allow you a free ride tonight. But, Young Master, you must be gentle; it's my first time."

Luo Zijun: "..."

I believe your ghost!

"Young Master Luo, my Young Lady calls for you to go up."

Just at this moment, Bi'er walked over and said with a cold little face.

Luo Zijun hurriedly stood up, pinched Shui Shui's delicate cheek lightly, and said: "I have things to do tonight, next time."

He had seen many women like this.

When it came down to it, it was still for the silver.

This Shui Shui probably didn't know the real situation yet, thinking he had truly spent ten thousand taels of silver just to see that Chujian, which was why she was willing to let him have a free ride.

Naturally, it was for future development.

"Young Master Luo, what a cruel heart you have! I don't even want money, and you still won't play with me? Wuu wuu..."

Shui Shui rubbed her eyes, her face full of sadness.

Luo Zijun ignored her and followed Bi'er up the stairs.

"Hmph!"

"Bi'er, who was huffing just now?"

"Hmph hmph!"

"Hey, are they raising pigs in this building? Why is there the sound of a pig huffing?"

"Pfft..."

Bi'er hurriedly covered her mouth, quickened her pace, turned her head to glare at him, her youthful little face full of a blush.

This bad guy!

I hope Young Lady doesn't get tricked by him!

Just now, after Young Lady finished reading those manuscripts, she acted like a fool, talking to herself: "I didn't expect that not only can he write poetry, but he can also write books; he actually has such talent..."

Hmph!

No matter how talented he is, he's still a bad guy!

If she hadn't appeared in time, this bad guy would have gone into a room with that little vixen Shui Shui to do bad things!

"Bi'er, has your Young Lady finished reading?"

"Hmph!"

"What does she think of the writing?"

"Hmph!"

"If you huff again, I'll tell Liu Mama to sell you to me, then I'll take you home and throw you into the pigsty, making you huff for me every day until you cry."

The Young Maid turned her head, pouted her little mouth, and gave him a cute little eye-roll.

Then she answered reluctantly, "The Young Miss says that the Young Master is very talented and will surely be no ordinary person in the future; as for how well it is written, this maid does not know."

"Then it must be written well."

Luo Zijun boasted.

The Young Maid rolled her eyes at him again in secret.

The two of them quickly went up to the third floor.

They walked through the long corridor and arrived at the door of the room.
