Chapter 86: Captivating

The moment Jiang Zhiluo saw Cui Hejin, the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

There is a feeling of being caught and feeling guilty.

But on second thought, Cui Hejin had already left and would not know what had happened.

She felt relieved.

Jiang Zhiluo pretended to be nonchalant and walked over and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Why didn't you go home directly after school?"

Jiang Zhiluo spoke softly, but she didn't look at Cui Hejin's expression.

I always feel that his eyes are captivating, as if they can see through people's hearts.

Cui Hejin looked at her lowering her head like a little girl, kicking the stones at her feet.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes were filled with deep mist, and he spoke clearly, "I'm tired from walking, so it's a good time to rest here."

This tree and the stone bench under it are for passers-by to rest.

Many people who are tired of walking far away or in town will take a rest here.

But it was already noon, and the people working in the fields had all gone home. There was no one around, and only Cui Hejin was sitting here.

Cui Hejin said in a clear voice: "Are you done with your work in town?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said in a very obedient manner: "Well, the land deeds have been bought and the government has stamped them. When we get home we can find someone to help build the house."

"But is there anyone in trouble?"

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No, the government office was pretty quick to handle things. I just wanted to do some other business, so I just wandered around town."

"If there's nothing else, let's go home and have dinner."

"good."

And so, the two continued walking towards the village.

At noon, Mrs. Cui had already prepared the meal.

After cooking, she sat at the gate of the fenced yard, shelling peanuts as she sat.

There are still some peanuts at home that were harvested last year and have not been peeled.

The main reason was that Mrs. Cui was both worried and expectant, and she couldn't stay at home, so she wanted to wait for Zhiluo to come back at the door.

I don't know how the land deed is going?

Of course, I also thought that once it was done, I could quickly build a house, a big house that would be so comfortable to live in.

Mrs. Cui was also full of expectations.

Just as Mrs. Cui was looking towards the street entrance, she saw Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo coming back.

Mrs. Cui stood up happily.

She carried the basket into the house, washed her hands quickly and took the cooked food out of the pot.

Mrs. Cui heated up some white flour buns, fried a plate of cabbage and tofu, and stewed a pot of mushroom soup.

When the food was brought to the table, Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo came into the room.

Madam Cui said, "Lunch is ready. Wash your hands and eat together."

Mrs. Cui scooped water into the basin so that both of them could wash their hands.

Jiang Zhiluo entered the house first and handed the red deed with the government stamp to Old Lady Cui, saying, "Mother, it's all done. This is the deed to our house."

Mrs. Cui looked at it and was excited and happy. "That's great. We can build a big house now."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, we can arrange for people to build the house this afternoon. I have already drawn the architectural drawings."

Jiang Zhiluo drew the architectural plan of the house, including the design and furnishings of each house, and all she had to do was find a craftsman to build it.

Mrs. Cui was very happy.

At this time, Cui Hejin had already washed his hands, and Jiang Zhiluo also went to the yard to wash her hands.

While washing my hands, the basin was suddenly stained with blood, making the clear water turn slightly red.

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned.

When Cui Hejin smelled the blood, his face suddenly changed.

He looked down, squatted down and grabbed Jiang Zhiluo's hand, "Are you hurt?"

His voice was not as cold as usual, but instead had a hoarse and undulating tone, and was cold and dangerous.

Jiang Zhiluo realized belatedly that she had a small cut on the palm of her hand. It didn't bleed, but when she washed her hands, blood spread a little.

"It's okay, I just accidentally scratched the skin."

Cui Hejin's picturesque eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her narrow eyes were stained with a hint of blood.

He looked at Jiang Zhiluo deeply.

Jiang Zhiluo didn't know why she couldn't resist such a captivating look.

Maybe he lied out of guilt.

She never expected that Cui Hejin, who usually looked gentle and aloof, would exude such a strong aura of oppression at this moment.

She felt like she was under a tremendous pressure.

Cui Hejin finally sighed lightly and said nothing. He just helped Jiang Zhiluo treat the wound and then bandaged it.

"Don't touch the water for the next two days. If you need anything, wait until I get back to do it."

Jiang Zhiluo wanted to refute, but when she looked up and met Cui Hejin's cold expression, she could only say obediently: "Oh!"

She was so obedient because she didn't want to make him unhappy or worry.

Oh, right, worried. Is he worried about her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

After Jiang Zhiluo sat down at the dining table, Mrs. Cui also noticed her hand and her face changed. "Zhiluo, what happened to you? Are you hurt?"

"Did anyone bully you?"

Seeing Mrs. Cui's worried and nervous expression, Jiang Zhiluo explained, "I accidentally cut my hand. It's just a small wound, nothing serious."

This injury was nothing, she didn't feel anything in the first place.

But it feels really different to be cared for.

This is the feeling of being at home, someone cares about her.

She thought that maybe her hand accidentally touched Wei Xingye's hammer when she was fighting.

There were thorns on his hammer and he accidentally scratched it.

Madam Cui was still nervous and said, "Your right hand is injured. Don't get tired or exert too much strength. Let He Jin take care of you."

Jiang Zhiluo thought, she is not that delicate and weak.

Of course, in that ancient life, if her fingers accidentally touched something hard, she would tell him weakly and pretentiously.

Every time it made him feel distressed for a long time.

At that time, he really loved her very much.

Just as Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about something, there were some more dishes in the bowl in front of her.

It was the dish that Cui Hejin picked for her.

He then took a new bowl and ladled her a bowl of mushroom soup.

"It's a little hot, drink it slowly."

Jiang Zhiluo was flattered.

She knew best how cold and ruthless Cui Hejin was in this life.

She hadn't had much expectation that Cui Hejin would be anything special to her.

Who would have thought that he would pick up food and scoop soup for her?

Jiang Zhiluo felt slightly touched and looked at Cui Hejin with watery eyes.

She originally thought Cui Hejin was cold and heartless to her.

But when she saw how he treated Chen Huadie, she realized that Cui Hejin's usual cold and aloof appearance was actually quite good.

Seeing his wife not speaking, Cui Hejin thought she was not feeling well, so he slowed down his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Zhiluo sniffed and shook her head, "No, I just want to eat a piece of bread."

The steamed bun just taken out of the pot was still a little hot. Cui Hejin picked up the bun, broke off a small piece, blew on it, and then carefully picked up a piece of clean gauze to wrap the corner of the bun and handed it to Jiang Zhiluo so that she could hold it easily.

This way it won’t get hot.
