Xie Shizi's shameless daily life
Chapter 21 Chapter 21
Xie Jin found a big tree facing Zhao Shu's carriage, leaned against it with his arms around it and fell asleep.
Except for the flickering sound of the fire, everything around was quiet. The wind suddenly blew, and the half-asleep man opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Shu's carriage, but when he saw no movement, he closed his eyes again.
At dawn, the group of people that Xie Jin brought with him had already gotten up. After they were all settled, a man came up to Xie Jin and said respectfully, "Sir, do you want me to wake up everyone in the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion?"
Xie Jin glanced at the carriage that was motionless and said calmly, "No need."
It was the first time that Zhao Xueying slept in such a simple place. She didn’t sleep well that night and woke up after hearing the noise from Xie Jin and the others.
Zhao Xueying called her maid, washed her face with the mountain spring water that had been prepared in advance, and asked the maid to put on makeup for her carefully before she got off the carriage gracefully.
Coming in front of Xie Jin, she bowed softly, "Cousin Jin."
Xie Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Yeah."
After Zhao Xueying looked around, her eyes returned to Xie Jin's face: "Cousin Jin, are you waiting for us?"
Without waiting for Xie Jin to answer, he added: "We are all ready here, we can set off now."
Xie Jin's eyes inadvertently swept across Zhao Shu's carriage, and said in a calm voice: "Wait a moment."
Zhao Xueying followed his gaze and paused. That was her sister's carriage. Could it be that cousin Jin was waiting for her sister to wake up?
Zhao Xueying slightly tightened the handkerchief in her hand and gave an inconspicuous look to the maid beside her.
The maidservant who received the signal quietly retreated, came to Zhao Shu's carriage and quickly threw a stone into it. Hearing a slight cry of pain from inside the carriage, she returned to Zhao Xueying without anyone noticing.
Zhao Xueying looked at the maid and nodded slightly at her, and continued to look at Xie Jin with an unchanged smile on her face.
Zhao Shu opened her eyes because of the sudden pain and the dazzling light outside the carriage. After being dazed for a few seconds, she woke up A Ling. After A Ling yawned and packed up the things in the carriage, Zhao Shu rubbed her sore shoulders, stretched, and got off the carriage holding the railing.
Zhao Shu looked up and was stunned. After a while, she lowered her head with hot cheeks and came to Xie Jin. She bowed and said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry I got up late."
She really didn't expect them to get up so early, but that was no excuse for wasting other people's time.
Zhao Shu lowered her head obediently, mentally prepared to face Xie Jin's ridicule and sarcasm. No matter how harsh Xie Jin's words were, she would endure it, after all, she was the one who slept late.
But after waiting for a long time, Xie Jin didn't speak. She couldn't help but look up and squinted at him, but her eyes met his. She lowered her head a little more guiltily.
Zhao Xueying spoke innocently and said with a smile: "Sister always gets up early in the mansion. Why are you late today?" After saying that, she turned her head to look at Xie Jin.
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu, his eyes showing no emotion. After a while, he opened his lips and said, "Let's go." Then he turned and walked towards the horse.
Zhao Shu was a little stunned. She thought of all the scenes in which Xie Jin had ridiculed her, but she never thought that it would pass so peacefully.
It is she who uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.
Zhao Xueying looked at Xie Jin's back. The handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled beyond recognition, but she still smiled and got into the carriage.
In the swaying carriage, Zhao Shu chewed a delicious red bean cake, swallowed it, and squinted her eyes happily.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of Xie Jin outside the carriage. After thinking for a moment, she stuck her head out, held onto the window sill and said, "Prince, would you like some red bean cake?" As she spoke, she handed the red bean cake in her hand to him. Xie Jin sat upright on the horse, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he had not heard what Zhao Shu said.
Zhao Shu waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't respond, she curled her lips and was about to pull her hand back when Xie Jin leaned over to her.
Zhao Shu was startled and instinctively wanted to shrink back, but Xie Jin grabbed her wrist. Zhao Shu was pulled forward a step and stared blankly at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the thin lips were about to reach her mouth, Zhao Shu turned her head with her heart beating faster.
Xie Jin tilted his head, took a bite of the red bean cake in Zhao Shu's hand, and chewed it carefully.
Seeing Zhao Shu's bewildered look, Xie Jin's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said in a playful tone: "Why? What do you think I'm going to do? That's a nice thought."
Zhao Shu's ears turned red and her eyes darted around, but she didn't look at Xie Jin.
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu, whose cheeks were slightly red and eyes were watery, staring at him softly. He could not help but feel a slight numbness on his back. He could not help but increase the strength of the hand holding the woman's white wrist and said in a hoarse voice: "How about really thinking about it?"
Zhao Shu pulled her wrist back forcefully and dropped the curtain heavily. What bad luck!
Ah Ling stared at the scene in amazement and swallowed the red bean cake in her mouth with difficulty. Is this prince usually so shameless?
He looked at the girl who was being teased and angrily took a bite of the cake in his mouth. The prince was so shameless!
Zhao Shu took two deep breaths, and her regular heartbeat returned to normal. She looked down at the half-bitten cake in her hand and threw it back on the plate in annoyance. After a while, she reached out and stuffed the whole plate into the small drawer of the carriage. When she could no longer see the defiled cake, she crossed her arms, closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage, and let out a comfortable sigh.
Xie Jin didn't care at all about being rejected by Zhao Shu, instead there was a smile on his face.
The carriage stopped by a river. Everyone took the water bags from the horses, went to the river, scooped up the water with both hands and drank a mouthful. After their thirst subsided, they put the water bags in the river and filled them with water.
Zhao Shu looked at the clear river and wanted to go over to wet her handkerchief and wash herself. This morning, she did not use water to wash her face because she was worried that there would not be enough water to drink. She always felt sticky and uncomfortable. Now that she saw the clear water source, the feeling was even stronger.
Zhao Shu came to the river, tucked up the hem of her skirt, squatted down and dipped the handkerchief in the water. When the handkerchief was soaked, she picked it up, wrung it dry with both hands, and wiped her cheeks carefully with the handkerchief. When everything was ready, she stood up and walked towards the carriage.
The road was full of stones of various sizes. Zhao Shu was particularly careful when she stood up, but before she took two steps, her feet slipped and she fell to the side.
The expected pain did not come. Zhao Shu opened her eyes and saw Xie Jin holding her arm with one hand and the other hand around her waist, while she was pressed tightly against his chest.
Zhao Shu's face suddenly turned red. She pushed Xie Jin away in panic, not daring to look at him. She turned around and walked back to the carriage. Although she walked slowly, her messy steps revealed her panic.
Xie Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Shu's back, then looked down at his own hands, her slender waist, soft, his hands slightly clenched, behind his back, frowning as he walked towards the carriage.
