When Zhao Shu was getting bored, A Ling finally came back.

"How is it?" Zhao Shu asked anxiously.

"The doctor identified it as saffron."

Zhao Shu frowned. Zhang Yining didn't want this child? Then why did she pour out the medicine?
"Cuckoo"

"Gu Gu."

Zhao Shu covered her stomach and looked at A Ling a little embarrassedly. She didn't eat much snacks at noon and now she was a little hungry.

"Miss, I'll go get the food now." Ah Ling said immediately.

Zhao Shu was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Is there food?"

Zhao Shu stood up and pushed Ah Ling's shoulders, saying, "Go quickly, go quickly."

While Ah Ling went to get the food, she cleaned the table and washed her hands neatly. Eating is the most important thing in the world.

Maybe because the kitchen was not lit at noon, the food tonight was unusually large.

Zhao Shu put down her chopsticks contentedly and felt like she was alive again.

Zhao Shu stood up and took out a storybook from the cupboard. She bought it on the street a few days ago. Since many things couldn't be rushed, she might as well relax her mind. After relaxing, she might have some new ideas.

"Sizzle"

At night, under the candlelight, the room was unusually quiet, with only the sound of flipping pages.

"Girl, girl wake up."

The buzzing sound kept lingering in Zhao Shu's ears. She turned over irritably, covered her head with the quilt, covered her ears with both hands, and murmured, "Stop making noise."

Ah Ling turned her head to look at the courtyard, then turned back to look at Zhao Shu who couldn't be woken up. She was anxious and blurted out: "Thank you, Master, for coming!"

One second

Two seconds
three seconds
"What?" The person on the bed jumped up and quickly got out of bed, with no trace of sleepiness on his face.

Zhao Shu bent down, looking for her shoes in a hurry with her messy black hair.

After finally finding her shoes and putting them on, Zhao Shu turned around and looked at Ah Ling in confusion: "Why am I so nervous?"

Ah Ling shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

Xie Jin sat in the yard, looked up at the closed door of the inner room, took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and thought to himself, it has been almost three quarters of an hour since he arrived, why hasn't he come out yet? Could he be doing it on purpose?

Just as he was thinking this, the door opened. Xie Jin looked at the fair little face that appeared in his sight, and the impatience he had just felt quickly disappeared without a trace.

Before Zhao Shu walked over, the gate was opened again.

The atmosphere in the yard was silent. Zhao Shu looked at the three people opposite her while drinking tea.

Zhang Yijing drank her tea gently.

Zhang Yinuan had a sullen look on her face, and no one knew who had provoked her so early in the morning.

Xie Jin looked a little impatient, and his expression was somewhat similar to Zhang Yiran's. Alas, both of them were not easy to mess with.

Zhao Shu cleared her throat and spoke to the gentle Zhang Yijing: "Cousin Yijing, what is the matter with you guys coming to see me?"

Zhang Yijing put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Shu, and said gently, "Second sister heard that you went to admire the oleander at Third sister's place yesterday, and thought you must be bored, so she asked me to come over to accompany you."

"Yes," Zhang Yi glanced at Zhao Shu and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that we were doing this in vain. Cousin Shu'er already has someone to accompany her, so why would she need us?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Shu with a half-smile: "Right, cousin Shu'er?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shu understood instantly and glanced at Xie Jin who seemed to have nothing to do with it. It turned out that it was all because of him.

Tsk tsk, what a man who brings trouble!

Although Zhao Shu was filled with emotion, her face remained calm. She smiled at Zhang Yinuan and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I wish you could come and accompany me every day."

Looking at Zhao Shu's stupid and naive look, who didn't know what she was hinting at, Zhang Yiran snorted. She didn't dare to attract the attention of Master Xie!

Zhang Yiran didn't come here to cause trouble today. She came here to chat with someone. She was almost going crazy from staying in the yard every day.

Seeing that she didn't mention it again, Zhao Shu reached out to pick up an orange on the table and peeled it slowly. After peeling it, she picked up one and put it in her mouth. "Hiss" Zhao Shu's eyes and eyebrows quickly squeezed together, wanting to spit out the orange in her mouth, and then glanced at the three people in front of her, chewed it casually twice, and quickly swallowed the orange in her mouth.

very sour!

Zhao Shu raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and after the tea took away the sour feeling, Zhao Shu's brows relaxed.

Xie Jin also reached out and took an orange. Zhao Shu watched his actions without reminding him.

With two quick peels, Xie Jin peeled off the orange peel completely, revealing the white fluff.

Xie Jin didn't eat it, but broke off two pieces and handed them to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu didn't reach out to take it. Looking at the orange in front of her, her teeth felt sore.

Zhao Shu looked up at Xie Jin and said with a smile, "You are too polite, my lord. I still have some."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhang Yinuan glaring at her with hatred, and the force of his glare seemed to penetrate her. Zhao Shu paused for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Sir, please give the oranges to my second sister. She loves them very much."

Xie Jin didn't say anything and obediently handed the orange to Zhang Yiran.

Zhang Yiran retracted her gaze from Zhao Shu and happily took the orange from Xie Jin's hand. With a blush on her face, she shyly looked at Xie Jin and said, "Thank you, my lord."

She raised her index finger, picked up a piece of orange and gently put it into her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness. This was peeled by the prince for her.

Zhao Shu looked at Zhang Yinuan, who was immersed in tenderness and affection a second ago, and her face quickly turned stiff, with her cheeks moving mechanically.

Zhao Shu asked innocently, "Second sister, is this orange sweet?"

Zhang Yinuan forced out a smile: "Sweet!"

"Oh," Zhao Shu continued to add fuel to the fire: "Seeing that the second sister was eating so slowly, I thought it wasn't sweet."

Zhang Yinuan glanced at Xie Jin in panic and said in defense, "No, no."

As he said this, as if to prove himself, he quickly stuffed another piece of orange into his mouth, looked at Xie Jin, and said incoherently: "Very, very sweet."

Zhao Shu's teeth softened as she watched Zhang Yining's actions.

He turned around again and wanted to take a look at the culprit, but to his surprise, Xie Jin was looking at him with a half-smile.

Zhao Shu reacted immediately, damn, this guy did it on purpose!

Zhao Shu stayed with the three people in front of her until noon, feeling very depressed. She only sent them away after they finished lunch.

Seeing the three people disappear from her sight, Zhao Shu raised her hand to close the door.

Suddenly, a bony hand pressed against the bolt.

Zhao Shu looked up along the direction of his palm, and black lines appeared on her forehead. Why did he come back again!

Xie Jin pushed the door aside with force and stepped into the yard.

Xie Jin took two steps, turned around, and looked at Zhao Shu with dimples on her face: "If you run around again, I'll let the dogs bite you."

"Ah?" Zhao Shu was confused.

"Although the flowers are beautiful, it is not advisable to admire them too much." Xie Jin said lazily.

Zhao Shu lowered her eyes and said nothing more, "I know." She was a little moved by Xie Jin's kindness.

Xie Jin stared at her for a few seconds, then said calmly: "That's good to know."
