Chapter 19 Chapter 19 His actions were rough!
When Xie Yun came out pushing the sedan chair with his wet black hair, he happened to run into Zhang Jingxian who was in a daze in the yard.
Her eyes were blank, and she sat on the swing in a daze, not even hearing the sound of him approaching her.
The light blue hairband hung down to her waist. Xie Yun just pulled it lightly, and her neatly tied long hair all spread out.
A few strands of hair seemed to fall on his long fingers by chance.
Zhang Jingxian suddenly turned around, and the tall shadow cast a shadow over her. Although they were sitting there, his eyes always gave her a feeling of being superior.
"The hairband is loose."
Xie Yun said coldly, spreading out one hand towards her, and the hairband she used to tie her hair was entangled in his fingers along with her hair.
The man's fingers were long and bony, each one hard and strong. Now with a soft hairband on them, they looked inexplicably ambiguous.
Zhang Jingxian was stunned for a moment. She rarely tied her hair up. Her long black hair was usually simply tied together with a hairband, which was not only convenient but also never loose.
How come her hairband is loose while she sits still?
However, she was in a daze just now and had no way to explain herself now.
"I will be more careful next time. Please give it back to me, sir." Zhang Jingxian spoke softly, wanting to get her hairband back.
Hearing this, Xie Yun closed his eyes slightly and reacted indifferently, "It fell into my hands. I am unable to move, so Ah Xian can take it away yourself."
Difficulty in moving... She didn't notice it at all, and his injury was clearly on his leg, not his hand.
Zhang Jingxian lowered her head without refutation and silently untied the green headband. The headband was wrapped very tightly, and it was difficult to see clearly at night. All her attention was focused on his hands. Unknowingly, the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.
Xie Yun once again saw the light-colored mole on the tip of her nose and stared at it with dark eyes.
The hairband was finally untied. Zhang Jingxian breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.
Inadvertently, the tip of her nose brushed against his thin lips, exactly where the small mole was.
Both of their bodies stiffened.
Zhang Jingxian was the first to react, hastily stepping aside, but it was too late. A large hand suddenly clamped down on her jaw, crushing her bones with enough force to leave her unable to move.
Xie Yun's movements were quick and rough. After successfully controlling the person, he put his other hand over and rubbed the small mole on the tip of Zhang Jingxian's nose with heavy force, as if he wanted to dig out this small mole that had grown there originally.
Once, twice, and the third time, Zhang Jingxian opened her mouth in pain, but before she could make a sound, Xie Yun rolled his Adam's apple and let her go.
"I didn't see it clearly just now and thought a bug flew onto the tip of Ah Xian's nose, but it turns out it wasn't."
He chuckled softly, his wet, inky hair looking cold, contrasting with his handsome face, making it look strong and vivid.
There was still a hint of pain and burning sensation on the tip of her nose from being harshly touched. Zhang Jingxian took some time to calm her rapid heartbeat. She didn't bother to tell whether his words were true or not, and walked away quickly.
This time, it was his turn to wait alone in the yard for his wet hair to dry.
But Xie Yun was in a very good mood, even though the hair behind his shoulders soaked his robe.
In fact, he wanted to bite her with his sharp teeth and lick her with his cold tongue... But now was not the time. Xie Yun was proud by nature, and he had to wait until this peasant girl expressed her love to him in a gentle voice.
Simply pleasing her wasn't enough, not to mention, she had a cousin she was almost married to.
Thinking of this, he became a little irritated, and his cold expression scared the curious oriole back into its nest.
-
Perhaps because she was hiding something in her heart, the next day, Zhang Jingxian deliberately avoided Xie Yun.
Except for the time when they sat together for breakfast, she always kept her head down, busy doing her own things.
Either they were weeding, fetching water, or hiding under a tree and chopping wood brought back from the mountain.
Zhang Jingxian prepared to make a small couch for herself, as sleeping on a straw mat was not comfortable.
Xie Yun couldn't see her figure through the bamboo window, and his face was gloomy. He simply pushed the sedan chair into the yard to see how she had made herself dusty and dirty.
Neither of them spoke.
It was time for dinner again. Xie Yun looked at the top of her head and asked her casually if she wanted to learn to read.
"Ah Xian takes care of me wholeheartedly every day. I would feel guilty if I didn't repay her."
He said it with a guilty conscience, but his expression and attitude showed no sign of it at all. Instead, he looked like an excited beast, secretly testing its prey.
It was the same in the previous life. At that time, Zhang Jingxian was overwhelmed by joy and really believed his words. She agreed without any hesitation.
Later, she learned to write the name Ah Xian, memorized the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, listened to him tell history and short and exquisite fables, and slowly, her heart fell in love with him.
She became more and more gentle and considerate to him. When the tax collector went to the countryside to check the land, he still could not remember most of his memories, including his origins. So Zhang Jingxian plucked up the courage to give him a hunted goose.
He taught her the Book of Rites, in which wild geese symbolize faithful love and the expectation of being faithful to one person.
Unmarried men and women give wild geese as a gift to propose marriage.
Zhang Jingxian took great pains to catch a live, beautiful wild goose and proposed to him before paying the autumn tax.
She was embarrassed and clumsy, and she came up with a lame excuse: if they got married, she would no longer have to pay the fine grain, and could save a full bushel of millet and wheat.
However, Zhang Jingxian was now unusually calm. She waved her hands nervously and whispered that she didn't want to waste his energy.
"I am dull and unworthy of your special instruction. If you find it boring, you can go around the village and teach the younger children how to read. The villagers will be extremely grateful to you."
I've already learned it once, so why bother learning it a second time? Keep the relationship between her and him as simple as possible so that they can be separated more clearly in the future.
Zhang Jingxian rejected him, which caught Xie Yun off guard. A rare look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
A woman who is determined to break away from her elders and insist on being herself even if it means angering them, when treasures more precious than gold and silver - knowledge and wisdom - are placed in front of her, her first reaction should be surprise and helplessness, rather than saying that she is too dull to be taught.
"Don't want to learn? Or don't you want to learn from me?" Xie Yun's eyes were sharp, and he said with a forced smile, "Ah Xian, you'd better not lie to me. I don't think anyone has told you that your disguise is very poor."
From the moment she rescued him, he saw through all her contradictions.
She couldn't help but get close to him and try to please him, but at one moment she would become cold and deliberately avoid him.
So he told her meaningfully that Ah Xian was a very strange person.
But because of this, she attracted his attention and stuck to her.
At this time, Xie Yun stared at her intently, very aggressively.
