Chapter 644 Imperial Examination Girls Are Not Cannon Fodder (22)

After drying the petals, the two entered the house one after the other.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely and seeing that it was still early, Ning Xi asked, "Why did you come back so early today? The show is over?"

"No." He Shiyan wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, "I heard that Wang Linzhang came here, so I hurried back."

"It's not a big deal, you go take a shower first." Ning Xi gave him a gentle push.

When he came out of the bathroom, he was still covered in steam.

After brushing his long hair casually a few times, he walked in front of Ning Xi.

Ning Xi just brought two bowls of jasper-colored mung bean soup from the kitchen, "Brother He, your hair hasn't been dried yet."

"It will be done in a while." He Shiyan looked at her, "Did Wang Linzhang make things difficult for you?"

"How can he embarrass me?" Ning Xi took the cloth towel and stood behind him, brushing his long hair slowly.

"However, he seems to want to win you over."

When the long hair fell into her hands, He Shiyan was overwhelmed by the flattery, and for a moment he didn't know how to place his hands.

"I don't accept his invitation."

Ning Xi chuckled, "I know, so it's not a big deal."

He Shiyan turned back, grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him, "Okay, the wind will dry up after a while, sit with me for a while."

Ning Xi sat across from him, picked up the cold mung bean soup, "Drink some, to reduce the heat."

She looked at He Shiyan, since he had a big blush in front of the doctor last time, he would practice Wu Qinxi in the yard every day to exercise his body.

He was also very happy to invite other students to go out to play Cuju, because he wanted to exercise his body well.

He Shiyan had just finished taking a shower, and the long gown he was wearing was relatively thin, and the outline of the muscles inside could be vaguely seen.

Ning Xi blushed a little, this guy is in pretty good shape.

She held her chin like this, watched him drink mung bean soup, and said a few words about what happened during the day from time to time.

"The lotus pond in Mrs. Li's Biezhuang dug a lot of lotus roots today, and sent a lot here. How about we eat lotus roots tonight?"

"Lotus root bone soup, cold lotus root, fried lotus root meatballs?"

He Shiyan fully agreed, and after drinking the mung bean soup, he casually tied up his long hair and went to the edge of the well to handle the lotus root.

Ning Xi picked up a red persimmon from the stone table and took a bite. It was so sweet, and he happened to see He Shiyan who was diligently peeling the lotus root.

She walked over, bent down and put the persimmon in front of him, "Taste a bite."

He Shiyan raised his head and bumped into her bright eyes, blushing, "I'll eat later."

"Just take a sip, I'm so tired from bending over."

He Shiyan had nothing to do with her, so he leaned forward and took a bite of the persimmon, only to find that his thin lips touched her fingers.

He was startled, hurriedly lowered his head and continued to peel the lotus root.

But no matter how he diverted his attention, the touch of his fingertips firmly occupied his mind.

This is not what a gentleman does.
To make matters worse, he felt that he was becoming less and less resistant to her.

……

On the day when the list was released, Bai Ziyue and others came early to look for He Shiyan and went to the Gongyuan to look at the list together.

He Shiyan brought Ning Xi along, and circle after circle of people surrounded the Gong Yuan.

Ning was hopeful but hesitated, "Why don't we go to the restaurant and sit down before coming back?"

So, they went to the teahouse to sit down, and it didn't take long before they heard Zhang Bang's knocking.

The voices of people came from afar, and the people in the restaurant couldn't sit still anymore, and they sent the book boys to inquire about the situation.

Ning Xi had just added a cup of tea when someone broke into the restaurant suddenly and exclaimed.

"Who, who is He Shiyan?"

"Where is He Shiyan?!"

"Xie Yuan He Shiyan!!"

Ever since the Gongyuan released the list, the name He Shiyan has been remembered by every student.

They all want to see what such a wizard looks like.

Ning Xi was also happy to learn that he passed the No.1 exam.

In this way, instead of going back to confirm the list, they treated guests to dinner at the restaurant.

"Brother He, congratulations on your high school Jieyuan!" Bai Zi asked him to toast first.

The other students also raised their glasses to toast, and He Shiyan inevitably drank too much.

On the way back, Ning Xi hired a carriage and helped him up with the driver.

He Shiyan was probably drunk, and he closed his eyes as soon as he got into the carriage.

The carriage was bumpy, and Ning Xi was worried that he would hit his head, so she reached out and hugged him from behind, letting his head rest on her shoulder, which was quite heavy.

He Shiyan was in a daze when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Brother He, you're home."

He Shiyan opened his eyes, and it took a long time for his gaze to settle on Ning Xi's face, "Xi'er."

Ning Xi wanted him to get off the carriage, but he suddenly came over and kissed her on the cheek, "Xie'er, I'm happy."

After being smelled of alcohol, Ning Xi disliked him, so he couldn't help laughing as he opened his mouth stupidly.

This guy can drink really badly.

After getting off the carriage, Ning Xi helped him to the room, poured him a large bowl of hangover soup and left.

……

In the early morning of the next day, He Shiyan woke up from a hangover and only felt a pain in his head. When he walked out of the yard with his brows pinched, he found that there was no one there.

Ning Xi had just had her period last night, her stomach was uncomfortable and she couldn't get up in the morning, when she was lying on the bed, she heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Ciel."

Ning Xi stretched out a hand and opened the curtain to answer him. Perhaps the voice was too weak, and He Shiyan was even more worried after hearing this.

"Are you unwell? Can I go in and see you?" He Shiyan stood outside, frowning involuntarily.

Ning Xi rolled up the quilt, "I'm fine, you can come in."

In ancient times, when a woman had menstruation, men generally would not approach her, fearing that she would be stained with dirt and bring bad luck, especially for people like He Shiyan who were undergoing scientific research.

However, she believed that He Shiyan would not be that kind of pedantic man.

He Shiyan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the person huddled under the quilt, he looked up at him with a small face.

"Brother He, are you sober? Why don't you take a shower first?" Ning Xi saw that he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and he still smelled of alcohol when he sat by the bed.

He Shiyan quickly stood up and took two steps back, "I was worried about something happening to you, so I came here to take a look."

He looked at Ning Xi's appearance, worried that he would do something bad to her when he was drunk.
While thinking wildly, the woman lying on the bed suddenly spoke

"Nothing, just a little pain."

"Xi'er, where does it hurt?" He Shiyan didn't care about the smell on his body, so he leaned forward and asked.

Ning Xi frowned slightly, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Menstruation is inaccurate, maybe I didn't pay attention to the cold water yesterday.

Seeing He Shiyan standing in front of her nervously, she pulled up the quilt and covered her chin, "It's time for menstruation."

He Shiyan's ears felt hot when he heard the words, and his face blushed involuntarily.

"Then you have a good rest, I'll go and boil some sugar water."

Ning Xi looked at some men who fled in despair, and suddenly laughed lightly.

He Shiyan boiled the brown sugar water, changed his clothes after taking a shower, and brought the sugar water over.

As soon as she put down the bowl, she saw her slightly exposed feet.

He hurried over to push it in to cover the quilt, but accidentally touched it.

"Why is it so cold?"
