Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 223: The Delicate Cousin Girl vs. the Upright and Brave Cousin (17)

Zhou Qian's mind was filled with Shen Shuyi's lively eyes, which were sometimes fragile, sometimes strong, and sometimes staring at him intently.

Especially at Lingshan Temple, when he carried his cousin Shuyi down the mountain, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her face pressed against his shoulder, her breath was so gentle that it made his heart feel itchy, just like it does now.

Thinking of this, that subtle, special feeling came to my mind again.

Zhou Qian suddenly sat up, put on his clothes, got up and went to the yard to practice with his spear.

After practicing with the gun for more than an hour, Zhou Qian saw the sky turning pale in the east, and then he went to the bathroom to take a shower, sweating all over.

When changing clothes, a sachet fell out of the robe.

Zhou Qian quickly picked it up, opened it and looked at the amulet inside. Shen Shuyi's charming little face appeared in his mind again.

Thinking of the moment outside the Peony Banquet room, her tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her fair and delicate face because of his hurtful words.

Thinking of her crying, thinking of her biting her lips with her pearly teeth, and saying with great grievance that she no longer wanted to call him cousin.

Zhou Qian's muscles tensed up instantly and his thoughts were in a mess.

Finally, he took a cold shower in silence, and then carefully placed the sachet against his heart.

……

On the fifth day of the fifth month, the Chu State had the custom of worshiping Fuxi, the ancestor of human civilization, through dragon boat racing.

Shen Shuyi got up early in the morning to prepare to go to Luo River to watch the dragon boat race. When she was getting dressed, she tied her thick long hair behind her head with only a red hairband.

When she went out, she wore a crabapple-colored round-necked dress with a long flowing skirt. When she walked with her lotus steps, she looked like a fairy in a painting.

"Miss, Master Zhou is here. The old lady asked him to pick you up and go to Luo River to watch the dragon boat race."

Shen Shuyi walked out of the door with a round fan in her hand. She saw Zhou Ningxiang, Zhou Xuanze and Zhou Miaorong, who were going to get married soon, and even Zhou Xuanmin were present.

After Zhou Miaorong got married, Zhou Xuanmin married a princess. The General's Mansion was very busy with two weddings in a row, and Zhou Qian was called back by the old lady to help.

After being busy for so long, the old lady asked Zhou Qian to take his younger brothers and sisters out to play during the dragon boat race, and specifically asked him to bring his cousin Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and saw Zhou Qian sitting tall on the horse. When Zhou Qian met her gaze, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Today she is like a blooming crabapple flower, delicate and beautiful.

Shen Shuyi drooped her eyelashes, looked away and sat in the carriage. Outside the carriage, a man was riding a horse beside her. Thinking of her deliberately distant look, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The rumbling of the carriage arrived at the Luo River, which was crowded with tourists. Zhou Qian led his younger brothers and sisters to the best viewing platform reserved by the nobles.

Shen Shuyi lifted her skirt lightly and stepped onto the platform, like a fluttering butterfly in everyone's eyes.

"It's the women from the General's Mansion who are here."

"That's Shen Shuyi, the cousin of the general's mansion?!"

"My cousin is so beautiful."

Some of them exclaimed in surprise. The nobles and dukes present had seen Shen Shuyi at the peony flower party hosted by the Queen. When they saw her again today, they found that her eyebrows and eyes were even more charming and beautiful.

Others thought that she would be devastated and depressed after Mr. Zhou Er broke off the engagement, but she never expected that her complexion and face are even more stunning today.

A daughter of a merchant was even prettier than the noble ladies in Luoyang City, so naturally some people were jealous and said sour words, but some people also spoke fairly.

"What's the point of being pretty? How can she find a good family with a body that will fall down at the slightest breeze?" "If she was really that good, why would Mr. Zhou Er abandon her and marry Princess Zhou?"

"The General's Mansion has already said that they were the ones who broke their promise and let Miss Shen down. How come you think it's Miss Shen's fault?" Ren Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works, glanced at the person who said the sour words.

Shen Shuyi happened to pass by and heard it. She thanked Ren Qingqing generously, "Thank you, Miss Ren."

Ren Qingqing left her brother behind and followed Shen Shuyi. She looked at her shell-shaped earrings and asked, "Ms. Shen's earrings are so unique. Which shop did you buy them from?"

"This?" Shen Shuyi said with a smile, "It was sent from Shen's Treasure Shop on East Street."

"They are Miss Shen's own jewelry. I will take my brother to buy a few pairs after the dragon boat race is over."

"Qingqing, don't get lost when there are so many people around." At this time, an elegant and noble young man walked over quickly.

Ren Qingqing introduced, "Miss Shen, this is my brother Ren Mingrui."

"Miss Shen." Ren Mingrui glanced at Shen Shuyi's pretty and charming face and quickly looked away, bowing and greeting her seriously.

Shen Shuyi returned the greeting and whispered, "Mr. Ren."

Ren Qingqing rarely met a girl she liked, so she invited her to watch the dragon boat race together. "I wonder if Miss Shen would be able to go with me to the viewing platform in front to watch the dragon boat race?"

"Qingqing, don't disturb Miss Shen." Ren Mingrui had a headache about his sister, fearing that her straightforward temper would offend others.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Okay, I just happen to be in need of a companion, and I'm very happy to be able to travel with Miss Ren."

Ren Mingrui led the way, "Miss Shen, please."

Zhou Qian, who was following behind, happened to see this scene. Zhou Ningxiang took her brother Zhou Xuanze to buy sweet rice dumplings. As soon as Zhou Xuanmin arrived, he was called away by the disguised Princess Chu, leaving him alone following Shen Shuyi.

Willows on both sides of the river flutter in the wind, several dragon boats are ready in the river, and there are endless tourists on both sides.

Zhou Qian saw Shen Shuyi's jade-like face, and his eyes fell on the scene where Ren Mingrui was peeking at her. Ren Mingrui's eyes were tender and focused.

Could it be that Ren Mingrui has fallen in love with his cousin Shuyi?
love at first sight?
Ren Mingrui noticed Zhou Qian's sharp gaze, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped peeking at Shen Shuyi.

Zhou Qian was just about to take two steps forward when a man and a woman holding lotus lanterns walked by.

The two should be a couple. The man held the woman's hand tightly, fearing that she would be squeezed by others.

Looking at the shy smiles on their faces, Zhou Qian felt a little confused.

Chen Feng said that if you like a girl, you will be happy when you see her, want to have a meal with her, want to walk with her, and want to hit other men if they look at him for even a second.
Zhou Qian didn't like the marriages arranged by his grandmother. His whole heart was on the military camp and battlefield. Later, he was injured and lost his ability to have children, so he asked his grandmother not to worry about it.

He thought he would never be attracted to any girl in his life, but when his eyes fell on the face of his cousin Shuyi in front of him, his heart began to pound.

Unknowingly, Zhou Qian walked behind Shen Shuyi.

A breeze blew, and he smelled the fragrance of his cousin Shuyi's hair, which was faint and pleasant, and entangled with his heart.

His eyes unconsciously turned to her profile, and when he caught a glimpse of the whiteness on her neck, he quickly looked away.

No.

She is my cousin.

Not to mention that there is a huge age gap between them, just look at what he did at the Peony Banquet last time. Cousin Shuyi would never give him a chance. What's more, he is a man who is ready to go to the battlefield at any time, so he is not a good match.
