Xie Shizi's shameless daily life
Chapter 53 Chapter 53
Zhao Shu finished the whole pancake in silence. Xie Jin handed her the cup at the right time. She paused for a while before taking the cup.
Zhao Shu sipped the tea in small sips and soon finished the cup. She held the cup and placed her hand on the bedding. Xie Jin naturally took the cup from her hand.
Xie Jin stood up and put the cup on the table, then went back to the bed, held Zhao Shu's shoulders and let her lie back on the bed.
Half of Zhao Shu's face was hidden under the quilt, with her ten fingers pinching the quilt.
Xie Jin's behavior revealed his familiarity and concern for her. Zhao Shu tilted her head to glance at Mian Ru, then lowered her eyes, and her toes under the quilt tapped the mattress intermittently.
Zhao Shu's mind was in turmoil, but she showed no sign of it on her face.
Xie Jin was worried that Zhao Shu didn't get enough rest, so after she lay down, she told her: "Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything. I'll be next door."
Zhao Shu looked at him and nodded.
Xie Jin turned around, opened the door, and turned to look at Mian Ru who was standing beside him. Mian Ru looked puzzled by his gaze.
Xie Jin said gently: "Miss, your room is downstairs, shall I take you down?"
No matter how dumb Mianru was, she understood that this meant to chase the guests away, and nodded immediately: "Okay!"
In fact, his subordinates had already taken her to her room, but she was willing to pretend that she had not been there. After all, Shu'er really needed a good rest.
Zhao Shu looked at Mianru apologetically. Mianru smiled at her and signaled her to have a good rest and she would come to see her again tomorrow morning.
The door was closed. Mian Ru stood in front of Xie Jin and bowed to him: "Thank you for your help, sir."
Xie Jin raised his eyes and glanced at her, then led her forward two steps and stopped in front of a guest room.
Mian Ru hesitated and said, "Sir, my room is not here..."
Xie Jin turned around and looked at her gently: "Look at my memory. I just remembered that my subordinate took the girl to your room. Then I won't disturb the girl."
Before Mianru could react, the person in front of her opened the door without her noticing.
With a "bang", the door was closed again. The speed at which it was closed was astonishing, as if he was afraid that she would depend on him.
Mianru closed her slightly open lips. She knew the way and could go back by herself.
Zhao Shu in the room didn't care what was happening outside. The room became dark and she stared at the bed curtains with her eyes wide open.
In the next room, Xie Er knelt on one knee with his fists clasped together: "Sir, when I was counting the bodies, I found that one person and one body were missing!"
Xie Jin suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Xie Er.
Xie Er didn't dare to look up.
Xie Jin said with a cold tone: "Looking for it!"
Xie Er quickly responded: "Yes!"
After Xie Er left, Xie Jin washed up and went to bed. He pulled the quilt to his chest, pressed the quilt with his hands, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Squeak" Xie Jin, who was thought to be asleep, opened his eyes, suddenly got up from the bed, opened the door and strode to Zhao Shu's door.
Carefully pushing open Zhao Shu's door, Xie Jin saw the person's bedding rising and falling slightly and shallow breathing coming from his nose. Only then did his slightly tense heart relax.
Xie Jin tiptoed out of Zhao Shu's room step by step. After closing the door, he did not return to his room. Instead, he lifted his robe, closed his eyes and sat down in front of Zhao Shu's room.
Listening to the breathing sounds in the room, Xie Jin fell into a light sleep.
The night passed quickly, and when it was dawn, footsteps were heard downstairs. Xie Jin opened her eyes, got up and went back to her room. When she came out again, it was He Lang, who was already dressed in powder.
Mianru didn't sleep well that night. As soon as it was dawn, she got up and prepared to go upstairs to find Zhao Shu. She thought Shu'er was the same as her and didn't sleep well.
At the corner of the stairs, Mianru met Xie Jin who was coming down the stairs.
Mianru bowed to him and moved aside. Xie Jin nodded in return and walked past her and went downstairs.
Just as Mianru was about to knock on the door, it was opened from the inside. Zhao Shu and Mianru looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.
Zhao Shu closed the door, turned around and took Mian Ru's hand and walked downstairs: "I was just about to go look for you, and you came."
Mian Ru smiled and said, "I just met Master Xie at the stairs. Is there something urgent for him?"
Zhao Shu shook her head: "I don't know, maybe I just got up early."
As soon as Zhao Shu came down, she saw Xie Jin sitting in the middle seat. It wasn't that she was looking for him on purpose, but he was the only one sitting on the entire first floor, so it would be hard not to notice him.
Zhao Shu came to Xie Jin's side and called out, "Cousin Jin." Then she pulled Mian Ru to sit next to him.
At the dining table, the three of them ate breakfast in silence. The moment Zhao Shu picked up the rice cake with chopsticks, she caught a glimpse of the faint blue color under Xie Jin's eyes.
Zhao Shu frowned and put the rice cake into her mouth. Was she not used to sleeping in the bed here?
Zhao Shu felt full after taking a few bites, but she didn't put down her chopsticks. She continued to eat with the two people who were still eating.
Xie Jin quickly put down his chopsticks. Zhao Shu looked at him in confusion. His appetite a few days ago was obviously not as small as it is now!
Xie Jin put down his chopsticks, and Mian Ru didn't want to continue eating, so she also put down her chopsticks.
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu gently: "Are you full?" Then he turned his head towards Mian Ru as a formality, but quickly turned back to Zhao Shu.
Mian Ru: “…”
Zhao Shu saw their expressions and movements clearly. She looked a little uncomfortable and whispered, "I'm full."
Xie Jin ordered Xie Er to send Mian Ru home, and he took Zhao Shu's hand and helped her into the carriage.
After helping Zhao Shu into the carriage, Xie Jin did not leave. He lifted the curtain and followed her into the carriage.
Zhao Shu looked up at him, but didn't say anything. She just moved her body forward, leaving a large space for Xie Jin.
Xie Jin looked at the seat that could accommodate two Zhao Shus, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he did not want to disappoint her kindness and sat down casually.
"Go back to Zhang's house. If anyone asks you where you've been these past two days, just say you went to your good friend Mianru's house." Xie Jin turned to look at her: "Do you understand?" Zhao Shu paused, then nodded: "Yes."
The carriage arrived at Zhang's house smoothly. Xie Jin did not see Zhao Shu off personally, but stood in the distance and watched her enter the yard. He turned and left only after he could no longer see her slender figure.
As soon as Zhao Shu entered the courtyard, she was knocked back a step by a strong force. After she finally steadied her feet, she heard a faint cry coming from her chest.
"woo woo woo woo"
Zhao Shu smiled helplessly and patted the person in front of her on the back gently: "Okay, okay, I'm fine."
"Wuwu. Wuwu" the crying became louder.
"oops!"
Ah Ling quickly let go of Zhao Shu, looked her up and down, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Zhao Shu smiled embarrassedly: "My leg is cramping."
Ah Ling knew she was being tricked, and she snorted angrily, shook off Zhao Shu's hand, and was about to leave.
Zhao Shu quickly pulled her back. Ah Ling looked at her sideways and asked, "Is your leg no longer cramped?"
Zhao Shu smiled at her ingratiatingly: "Ah Ling, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
"Oh," Ah Ling turned around and faced her: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Shu immediately raised her right hand and swore: "I won't do anything dangerous again!"
Ah Ling snorted: "Really?"
Zhao Shu: “Really!”
Ah Ling: "Didn't you lie to me?"
Zhao Shu: "I won't lie to you!"
Ah Ling received the assurance from her own girl, and a distressed expression immediately appeared on her face. She held Zhao Shu's hand and walked into the inner room: "Quick, quick, girl, go to bed and have a rest. You must not have had much rest since you came back so early."
Zhao Shu: “…”
Since coming back, Zhao Shu has been staying in the yard all day long. Apart from A Ling, she has only seen her grandmother.
Zhao Shu moved a lounge chair to the yard and lay down on it comfortably to take a nap.
Zhao Shu turned over and opened her eyes a little in a daze. It would have been fine if she hadn't opened them, but as soon as she opened them, she was frightened. Someone had quietly sat down next to her!
Who are you trying to scare?
Seeing Zhao Shu staring at him blankly, Xie Jin couldn't help but touch his face narcissistically. Could it be that he looked a little more handsome today than usual?
Xie Jin raised his hand and waved in front of Zhao Shu: "Come back to your senses!"
Although Zhao Shu looks dazed, in fact, a thousand horses are galloping through her heart!
Zhao Shu opened his hand unhappily: "Something's wrong!"
"Tsk tsk," Xie Jin clicked his tongue twice, then came closer with some curiosity: "What's wrong? Who pissed you off?"
Zhao Shu looked at the handsome face in front of her, and she became irritated. She put her index finger on his cheek and pushed him away: "Just talk, don't get so close!"
Xie Jin smiled and moved his head away from her force: "Okay, I'll listen to you and not get so close."
Zhao Shu glanced at him, then sighed helplessly. Let him be, let him love her however he wants!
Zhao Shu turned over and faced him with the back of her head: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Xie Jin opened his mouth to say something, but when he looked at the back of Zhao Shu's head, he couldn't utter a word.
Xie Jin always does what he thinks. He is a very proactive person. He walked around Zhao Shu from behind and went to the front.
After seeing Zhao Shu's face again, Xie Jin was satisfied and prepared to speak: "Find some time to say goodbye to the old lady. We will be back in two days."
Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin strangely. She didn't say she was going back to the capital!
Zhao Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply closed her eyes, intending to continue resting.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Xie Jin hissed, and imitated her poking people with her fingers, gently poking her arm: "Did you hear that?"
Zhao Shu shook his hand away and said impatiently, "I know. I will tell my grandmother that you are going back to Beijing. She will understand."
Eh? Xie Jin bared his teeth, reached out and touched Zhao Shu's arm again, this time using a little more force: "It's us!"
Zhao Shu suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him. Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable and touched his nose when she looked at him like that: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Shu asked the question in her heart: "Why?"
Xie Jin's expression faded, and he no longer concealed the truth. "One and a half kidnappers from the bank escaped. To be more precise, one person escaped alive and one person died."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Shu suddenly stood up; "What!?"
It is not a big deal for a kidnapper to escape, but what is worrying is that he has other gangs. If this is true, it is better for them to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Although the Zhang family is not weak, it is just a merchant family after all and lacks soldiers and generals. If they really face that group of kidnappers who are accustomed to blood, they are afraid that they will not get any benefits. It is safer to return to the capital.
Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin with a serious face and said, "I will go and talk to my grandmother tomorrow!"
Zhao Shu thought for a moment and said, "Xueying's side."
Xie Jin said, "I'll talk to her, you just need to tell the old lady."
Zhao Shu nodded: "Okay." This is good, it will be easier for him to talk to Xueying.
Finally, the two of them agreed that Xie Jin would go and discuss this matter with Zhao Xueying in the afternoon, and after it was finalized, the two sisters would go together to say goodbye to Old Lady Jin tomorrow morning.
