Chapter 476 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 28

"Why are you getting so close?" Jiang Zhiyi frowned slightly, with a hint of reproach.

She and Lu Jingxun were now unusually close; she could even smell his unique fragrance.

It has an indescribable smell that subtly permeates the nasal cavity, but it smells wonderful.

It's like being beneath a vast snow-capped mountain, breathing in the fresh scent of pine wood, with a hint of the crispness of melting snow.

It suits his usual aloof and distant demeanor quite well.

"I'm afraid you can't hear me clearly." Lu Jingxun's thin lips curled slightly, his voice low and alluring.

He gently picked up a strand of her hair that had been ruffled by the wind and tucked it behind her ear.

Then, he casually added, "Tell me if you need anything in the future, and don't always ask other people for things."

Jiang Zhiyi frowned.

What does it mean to take things from other people without permission?

Firstly, this is not something that can be done casually. Secondly, Ye Jingming is someone else, but isn't he someone else too?

"Hurry up, it's so hot!" Jiang Zhiyi ignored him.

They could have talked while walking, but instead they stood still at her front door.

The sun was so strong that the ground was scorching hot, but he didn't seem to mind the heat.

What a complete idiot.

"Help me a little," Lu Jingxun said.

Jiang Zhiyi couldn't very well refuse a "disabled person's" request, so she could only reach out and help him slowly walk towards his home.

...

Not long after, Jiang Zhiyi returned.

Inside the room, Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin were lying on the slightly worn sofa, engrossed in drawing.

Both of them held a paintbrush tightly in their hands, and several bright colors had already been painted on the small canvas. Red, yellow, blue, green... all kinds of colors intertwined. At first glance, it was chaotic, but upon closer inspection, it exuded a pure and clean beauty that belonged only to children.

"Jin Jin and Yin Yin are really amazing, their drawings are so beautiful," Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but think to herself.

They are his own younger brother and sister, so naturally he likes them no matter how he looks at them.

Jiang Zhiyi turned around, looked at Ye Jingming, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

On such a hot day, he brought so much stuff, it's only right that we invite him to stay for a meal.

She doesn't actually like owing favors, especially the deeper the gratitude, the more burdened she feels.

Ye Jingming cared for them a lot, and she was very grateful, but sometimes she didn't know how to repay him.

As for Lu Jingxun, he's a thoroughly bad person, and he happens to be rich, with more money than he can spend. She cheated him out of his money and asked him for things without feeling any guilt, since the money was just a drop in the ocean for him.

She even felt she hadn't asked for enough; she wished Lu Jingxun had been a little more generous.

"I've already eaten," Ye Jingming replied with a smile.

Jiang Zhiyi glanced at him and said, "I made mung bean soup today, why don't you try it?"

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

The kitchen was very stuffy. She had put the mung bean soup in ice water that morning, and it was still cold.

She skillfully picked up the bowl and ladled out two bowls.

On that trip just now, Lu Jingxun seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her, insisting that she support him. Even when he supported her, he didn't put any effort into walking, leaving her exhausted.

She had broken out in a sweat after walking such a short distance and was in dire need of quenching her thirst.

As for Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin, they've already eaten quite a few snacks today, so let's not let them eat any more, lest they refuse to eat their main meal later.

"It's delicious, your cooking is excellent." Ye Jingming took a sip of the mung bean soup and praised it generously.

Jiang Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, but she still appreciated it. "Oh, it's not a complicated thing. You're exaggerating."

Ye Jingming leaned forward slightly, looking intently at her, and then asked the question that had been on his mind.

“You and Lu Yanlin… seem to be quite familiar with each other. He said you often visit him, is there something you need his help with? If so, you can tell me, don't be afraid to bother me. I'd be happy to help you.”

Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, "It's nothing, I just sold him some things. He has a lot of maids and servants at home, so he needs a lot of vegetables and fruits, and it just so happens that I sell them to him nearby. We've gotten to know each other over time."

Just then, Jiang Qiujin, who had been drawing intently to the side, came running over, holding her paintbrush and skipping along.

The spot where he had been squatting to draw was out of the fan's reach, and he was now flushed red with sweat beading on his forehead.

He handed her the paintbrush and said, "Sister, draw a little sun on my hand. I'm afraid I'll draw it too ugly."

Jiang Zhiyi glanced at him and refused outright.

"You're not allowed to draw it on your own hands either."

His hands were sweating profusely, making it difficult to paint. Even if he managed to paint, the paint would inevitably get onto his clothes.

He was wearing a white T-shirt today. If you're not careful, who knows what it will look like? Maybe by tonight the shirt will be unusable.

"I don't... I want to draw... Waaah..." Jiang Qiujin started to act spoiled, her little mouth pouting, and she was about to cry.

Jiang Zhiyi could only comfort him, "How about I draw it for you tomorrow... tomorrow? When the air conditioner is installed at home tomorrow, it won't be hot and you won't sweat. Then I'll definitely draw you a super beautiful sun."

"What is an air conditioner?" Jiang Qiujin asked curiously.

Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "An air conditioner is a fan that blows cold air, just like the cold air blown out of a refrigerator. It's very refreshing."

"Okay, I'll draw it tomorrow." Jiang Qiujin finally gave in and ran back to drawing.

Ye Jingming then asked, "Do you need my help? Are you planning to go to town to buy it, or...?"

“No, um…” Jiang Zhiyi hesitated a bit, after all, she didn’t buy the air conditioner herself, she had forced it on, but she still said, “Lu Yanlin has already arranged for someone to handle it, so you don’t need to bother.”

Ye Jingming nodded, understanding the general situation.

It seems that the person in question will bear all the costs of purchasing and installing the air conditioner.

They do look quite wealthy.

He occasionally passed by that luxuriously decorated house, with a spacious courtyard and many luxury cars parked there, each one incredibly expensive.

Both he and Jiang Zhiyi were just ordinary people struggling to make a living, and they had to carefully budget for every penny they had to eat.

People like Lu Yanlin are from a completely different social class than them, but for some reason they have temporarily come into contact.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should leave soon, and they will almost certainly never meet again.

My worries immediately dissipated.
