Chapter 9
On the way, Xu Zhao said that he was in a hurry this time and didn't bring any luggage, so he wanted to buy some daily necessities. The three of them then went to the department store.
After entering the department store, Xu Zhao bought a lot of things without blinking an eye, mostly food, such as biscuits, candies, and canned fruits.
He tore open the package and grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to Jiang Leyun.
Jiang Suihan took the candy he handed over and said, "You don't need so much. Buy less."
He doesn't look like someone who likes to eat candy. He bought so much food at once, probably not for himself.
Xu Zhao disagreed: "Not much, what else do you want to eat? I'll buy it all."
To be honest, the way he spends money without blinking an eye is quite handsome.
Jiang Huihan was heartbroken. It was all about money. As a person in debt, she had no right to eat. "That's enough. No need to buy any more."
Guessing that she said that to save money, Xu Zhao didn't say anything and decided to quit while he was ahead.
He caught a glimpse of the faded hair tie on Jiang Huihan's braid, and turned to the salesperson and said, "Please get me two hair ties."
Looking at the two red hair ties in Xu Zhao's hand, Jiang Huihan remembered that she had used the hair ties on her head for a long time. She accidentally used a little force last night and one of them broke directly. She tied a new knot and continued to use it.
I didn't expect him to be so attentive and notice even such a small detail.
The saleswoman was about the same age as Jiang Huihan, and she couldn't help but show envy on her face: "Your partner is so nice to you."
Not only is he handsome, he is also very generous. He buys this and that for his girlfriend and is not stingy at all. He is not like some men who are so stingy that it seems like his life is wasting money on him.
Why doesn't she have such good luck to meet such a man?
Looking at Jiang Suihan who was standing in front of her, although she looked thin and weak, she was good-looking. Even she, who was also a girl, couldn't help but look at that pretty face a few more times.
Beautiful women are lucky!
Jiang Suihan wanted to retort that he was not her partner, but then she changed her mind and thought that a fiancé is a closer relationship than a partner. She didn’t know how to answer for a moment and could only smile shyly at him.
Xu Zhao raised his eyelids, glanced at Jiang Huihan silently, and said nothing.
Jiang Leyun was the happiest one. After having a big meal with so many delicious foods, she felt so happy that she could fly to the sky. On the way home, she skipped and jumped while holding her sister's hand. She was so happy.
After returning home, Jiang Huihan felt a little tired. Her head injury had not yet healed completely and she did not sleep well last night. She said hello to Xu Zhao and went to bed.
Xu Zhao stretched his shoulders and looked around. He saw a table with a missing leg and a stool that was about to fall apart. He had a good memory.
He quickly walked to Grandma Lin's house to borrow a hammer and nails. Without asking for anyone's help, he pieced together all the broken things by himself, hammering and banging. He even sorted out the few pieces of firewood in the kitchen and stacked them neatly in the corner.
After waking up, Jiang Suihan felt much better. She was awake, but she didn't want to open her eyes. She lazily turned over in the quilt, and after her mind was empty for a few minutes, she slowly got up.
When I walked out of the room, I saw Xu Zhao, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, waving a hammer in his hand and working hard.
He had the light behind him, the sun shone on his body, his angular face seemed to glow, the muscles of his arms had perfect and clear lines, and a drop of sweat was hanging on his high nose bridge, slowly sliding down.
Jiang Huihan swallowed unconsciously and stared at the person with fixed eyes.
Xu Zhao noticed Jiang Huihan early in the morning, but he didn't look up and continued to be busy with his work. However, he couldn't ignore the burning gaze that was staring at him.
Helplessly stopping what he was doing, he looked up at Jiang Suihan and said, "Wipe the corner of your mouth."
"ha?"
Jiang Huihan raised her hand in a hurry, but when she saw that there was nothing in her hand, she realized that she had been cheated and glared at him: "How could you lie to me?"
She trusted him so much.
Xu Zhao's lips curled up and he slowly raised his lips: "So, you were really looking at me just now?"
"No, you saw it wrong." Jiang Suihan blurted out and denied it directly.
At this moment, she really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. She must have been seen by him with her infatuated look on her face just now.
So embarrassing!
"I'll go cook."
Watching her fleeing in panic, Xu Zhao chuckled twice.
After entering the kitchen, Jiang Huihan was immediately shocked by how clean and tidy it was. She wondered how much work this person had done while she was sleeping.
So diligent!
It made her feel embarrassed.
Jiang Suihan took out a bowl from the cupboard, poured a glass of cold white wine and handed it to him: "Drink some water."
Xu Zhao put down the work in his hands, took the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
He tilted his head back and gulped down the water, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. His angular profile, perfect jawline, thick and long eyelashes, cold and resolute chin, and Adam's apple that made a strong presence, on that face that had a naturally cold temperament, was so sexy.
Jiang Huihan didn't dare to blink, her heartbeat was out of control, and she couldn't help but follow the rhythm of his Adam's apple rolling.
Who sent this killer?
The sniper hit her restless girlish heart, and she really wanted to pounce on it and take a bite!
The man was sexy without knowing it, and he raised his hand to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhao waved his hand in front of Jiang Huihan.
His eyes were dazed, with a suspicious smile on his lips, and he looked even dumber than before.
Jiang Suihan subconsciously covered her mouth and coughed, pretending to be calm and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I suddenly remembered something."
She felt a little guilty and snatched the bowl from Xu Zhao's hand: "You've finished drinking, right? Do you want more?"
Xu Zhao looked at Jiang Huihan suspiciously, shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing her guilty look, it didn't seem like she was saying that everything was fine. But since she didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't insist on getting to the bottom of it.
I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Seeing that Xu Zhao did not continue to ask questions, Jiang Huihan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't ask again, otherwise she couldn't answer truthfully and say, I think the way you drink water is particularly sexy and beautiful, so I looked at you a few more times.
Would he think she was lecherous?
It was still a little early to make dinner, and Jiang Huihan had nothing to do, so she sat aside with her elbows on her knees, her chin supported by her hands, and watched Xu Zhao repair the stool.
After a while, she suddenly said, "I think you are the snail boy."
Xu Zhao: "Snail boy?"
What is this name?
Do you mean to praise him?
Jiang Huihan smiled and replied as a matter of course: "It's just to praise you for being particularly hardworking, virtuous, kind and capable."
Xu Zhao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The word virtuous should be used for female comrades, so I don't need it. I have already repaired the table and chairs. I'm not good at it, so you guys can just use them for now."
Using the word "virtuous" to describe a gay man, I have no idea what's going on in her little head.
"That's not good enough. You're asking too much of yourself. It's already amazing that you can fix these broken things like this. Not everyone can master this skill, like me. I can only talk about it, but once I start working, I can make these tables and chairs even more broken."
Jiang Suihan expressed her envy from the bottom of her heart. She was good at cooking, but she was a complete loser when it came to handicrafts.
Xu Zhao curled his lips slightly and said modestly, "Not bad."
Jiang Suihan complained in her heart, this person was obviously secretly happy but appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, he must be a very reserved person in private.
Xu Zhao was wearing a watch and asked the time. It was past five in the afternoon. Jiang Suihan said goodbye to him and went to prepare dinner.
Jiang Leyun was holding a book in his hand, reading it very attentively.
Although he doesn't go to school, the little guy is very self-conscious. When he has nothing to do, he likes to read and write with books. He cherishes books very much and turns pages very carefully.
When he came across a word he didn't recognize, he frowned and glanced secretly at Xu Zhao, wanting to ask but feeling a little scared.
Jiang Leyun thought his actions were very secretive, but Xu Zhaoduo was a vigilant person and had already discovered the little actions of his future brother-in-law.
He slowed down his voice: "No?"
Jiang Leyun nodded and pointed to a character with complicated strokes in the book: "I don't know this character."
Xu Zhao read it once and explained the meaning of the word to him, and the child read it again.
"Thank you." Jiang Leyun smiled shyly at Xu Zhao and thanked him obediently.
Xu Zhao had no experience with children. Jiang Leyun was well-educated, well-behaved and polite. He touched the top of the child's head and said, "You're welcome."
Jiang Huihan turned around and saw that Xu Zhao and Jiang Leyun seemed to be getting along very well. She was a little surprised, but then she thought it was quite normal.
Jiang Leyun is not a naughty kid. Although Xu Zhao looks serious, he is actually a very nice person, otherwise he would not have come all the way to Mingjiang City to get involved in the Jiang family's mess.
