The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 555: Xiangyun's First Contact

Cuilu was busy washing her hands and making tea.

After the tea was served, Shi Xiangyun, with blushing cheeks, invited Zhang Yunyi, who was sitting next to her across a small table, to have some tea.

Zhang Yunyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Today, the two uncles of the Shi family came over. I told them to finish the things at hand first. In the future, this business will not be lost to them."

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun's eyes were not filled with surprise, but rather a little dim. She pursed her lips tightly and said slowly, "Brother Yi has a heart to help the people. Now that our family can make a living, it is already very good. I dare not cause trouble for Brother Yi anymore."

I originally thought that Zhang Yunyi suddenly thought of me, but I didn't expect that it was my two uncles who came to visit. I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

To be honest, when the Shi family took the initiative to propose that Shi Xiangyun be his concubine, he had already regarded her as meat on the chopping board.

In addition, Shi Xiangyun was a month younger than Lin Daiyu, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her for the time being, and therefore didn't put in much effort.

Because of this, he wanted to improve their relationship through business matters, but he ignored Xiangyun's mentality.

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun seemed a little disappointed, she smiled and said, "My second sister-in-law always said that if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? After all, they are your uncles. For your sake, I should help them a little. How can I say that I am causing trouble?"

After hearing what he said, the gloom in Xiangyun's eyes dissipated a little, but she still insisted: "That being said, we can't embarrass Brother Yi."

Hearing her saying some bland words, Cuilu on the side couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In a hurry, she didn't care about her status and interrupted, "Don't you know more about these things outside than Miss? It's rare for you to come here, Miss, please don't talk about these trivial matters. Didn't you ask Jinchuan for your size before the New Year to make a pair of shoes for you? Although it's not finished yet, it's rare for you to come here, so I'll go and get them for you to try on and see if they fit your feet!"

As she spoke, she went into the inner room. After a while, she took out a pair of unfinished shoes and said as if presenting a treasure: "Master, each stitch was made by Miss herself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yunyi glanced at the shoes Cuilu held in front of him, but suddenly grabbed Xiangyun's hand that was on the coffee table, brought it close to his face, and said exaggeratedly: "Why do you do it yourself? If you hurt your hand, how can I... feel at ease? Hurry and take a good look at it for me!"

Xiangyun felt as if struck by lightning when her hand was suddenly held. She subconsciously retracted her hand, but Zhang Yunyi held it very tightly and she was unable to retract it.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi's concerned face, her heart warmed, and after a slight hesitation, she gave up struggling.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi went too far and looked at it again and again. He held it tightly with one hand and refused to let go. He then stretched out his other hand and said, "Let me see that side again..."

Looking at Zhang Yunyi's sincere face, Shi Xiangyun's blushing face became even more charming. She lowered her head, feeling a little at a loss.

Cuilu, who was standing by, saw this and quickly put her shoes on the table. She turned away and said, "The master is talking to the young lady. I will wait outside. If you have any instructions, call me back!"

After saying that, he walked out without looking back, and did not forget to close the door.

The door was closed, and the wind caused the candlelight in the room to flicker, shining on Shi Xiangyun's blushing face, making it appear bright and dim.

The trembling eyelashes sometimes lengthened and sometimes shortened, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

Shi Xiangyun was at a loss as to what to do when she suddenly felt a darkness in front of her eyes. It turned out that Zhang Yunyi, who had not received a response, had already bent down and stood up.

Seeing Zhang Yun逸's face getting closer and closer and pretending to grab her, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly extended her hand like a frightened rabbit.

Zhang Yunyi grasped the tender hand that was passed to him, but did not stop leaning forward. Instead, he pulled slightly with both hands, and then leaned close to Shi Xiangyun's ear and whispered softly, "Making shoe soles is too hurtful to your hands. Don't do such stupid things again in the future. If you really want to do something for me, make a sachet or something and let me carry it with me!"

This sudden tenderness caught Shi Xiangyun, who had always been neglected, off guard and she nodded involuntarily.

Then, she remembered what Zhang Yunyi had said to her, and pretended to sit up straight, turned her head, and slowly lowered her eyelids with a shy face.

Zhang Yunyi did not take it as an offense. Instead, he grinned, walked around the small table beside him, took Shi Xiangyun's hand, came in front of her, and squatted down.

Then, he placed his hands on Xiangyun's legs, rubbing her delicate hands, while the back of his hands felt the softness of her thighs through her long coat.

She did not forget to speak sweetly, "Let's save the story for now, and just talk about personal matters tonight, how about that?"

Shi Xiangyun was already in a state of confusion as Zhang Yunyi was holding her hands and playing with them. But what was even more fatal was that the numbness coming from her knuckles moving through her clothes made her unable to muster any strength.

Hearing that Zhang Yunyi wanted to save the story and talk about personal matters, Shi Xiangyun felt even more dazzled. She wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, but unexpectedly, a strange "ho ho" sound came out of her throat.

She was suddenly so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunyi didn't seem to hear the strange cry, and said to himself: "Sister, you won't blame me for not coming here, right?"

Having learned from the previous experience, Xiangyun didn't dare to speak. She raised her trembling eyelashes, glanced at Zhang Yunyi guiltily, and shook her head slightly.

"I know my sister won't think like that. Even though the old lady and my two uncles are in charge, those rumors outside have somehow spread like wildfire. If I come here more often, I'm afraid my sister will be criticized again, so..."

Zhang Yunyi shook his head and said nothing more, but the unspoken meaning in his words was evident.

I thought I was being ignored, but who would have thought that he would actually consider me like this?

Listening to his story, Shi Xiangyun felt her heart melt, and for some reason she reached back and held Zhang Yunyi's hand.

Even if there is no opportunity, we have to create one. How could Zhang Yun逸 miss such a good opportunity?

He looked up at Shi Xiangyun and said lovingly, "I have never had the opportunity to talk to my sister from the bottom of my heart. Today I can speak my heart out. It is worth the trip..."

Although he said that the trip was worthwhile, his body suddenly arched up, and he kissed Shi Xiangyun's lips with his moving lips.

A moan, accompanied by heavy breathing, instantly exploded in the house.

I don't know if it was the influence of the atmosphere or the wind brought by the breathing, but the candlelight flickered and swayed.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Shi Xiangyun was panting and slumped weakly in the chair. Her eyes had just opened a crack when she saw a strand of silver thread hanging between the two of them, and she hurriedly closed her eyes again.

As she closed her eyes, she suddenly felt the touch of steel or iron on her arms. She hurriedly retracted her arms and slightly turned sideways.

But not only could he not avoid it, but it followed him like a shadow and resisted him forcefully.

Shi Xiangyun opened her eyes blankly, only to see that Zhang Yunyi had squeezed into the chair. She subconsciously turned sideways.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to escape, but Zhang Yunyi pushed and supported him, so that his back was pressed against his chest and he was held on his lap.

His already limp body now couldn't muster even a bit of strength.

She had no choice but to close her eyes, and was nervously held by Zhang Yunyi, who grabbed her hands and rubbed her ears against his.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but after several verbal exchanges with each other with their necks stiffened, Shi Xiangyun suddenly felt dizzy and was picked up by Zhang Yunyi and put back on the chair.

I saw him kiss my forehead gently, and then carefully help me pull the messy corners of my clothes.

Shi Xiangyun suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

But then, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

Although she was still a little ignorant about matters between men and women, she was born in a noble family after all. Even if she had never seen pork, she had seen a pig walk.

Even Jia Baoyu, who prides himself on being kind and gentle to women, would not put himself in a difficult position just for the sake of considering a maid's feelings or whether she has the status of a concubine.

Although she was not a maid, it was a foregone conclusion that she would be a concubine. To put it bluntly, even if Zhang Yunyi really didn't care, he could still carry her into the house in a sedan chair afterwards.

But now, because of his consideration for himself, he stopped himself in time, which made Shi Xiangyun feel dazed and even more emotional.
