140 Ah Zhao, why did you kiss me?
◎The original owner was Chen Jingshan, and the current owner is Ye Yunzhao.◎
Looking at those burning eyes, Ye Yunzhao couldn't say no. She didn't say anything, just patted the donkey and walked forward on her own.
Although he didn't say anything, it was better than a direct rejection. Chen Jingshan was a little happy and followed him hurriedly.
It was difficult to walk in the rain, and the two walked for nearly two hours before they saw the dilapidated city gate of Lingnan County in the distance.
Chen Jingshan leaned over to look, and after repeated confirmation, he tilted his head and said, "Ah Zhao, look, it doesn't look like a dam has burst."
The closer they got, the more Ye Yunzhao's heart tightened. She felt a little uneasy. She not only talked to him, but also muttered to herself: "It shouldn't be serious. I told the Dongxiang village chief several times before to check the embankment carefully. Maybe it's okay... It's okay..."
"Don't be afraid." He looked at her and deliberately gave her a carefree smile. "Even if it means death, I will be there before you to pave the way."
"Nonsense..." Ye Yunzhao lowered his eyes, and the tension in his heart was diluted a little by his joke.
The two did not enter the city, but turned directly to Dongxiang. The main road was paved with stone slabs. The rainwater that fell on the ground gathered into streams and flowed continuously along the grooves in the middle of the stone slabs.
Ye Yunzhao looked around along the way. Several trees were broken nearby and the water level in the paddy field was almost overflowing. As she expected, there were a few people standing by the paddy field, doing something unknown.
She raised her voice, "Don't stand there! Go home!"
A few people beside the paddy field turned around and found that the head of the Dongxiang village was among them.
Ye Yunzhao immediately slid off the donkey, stuffed the reins into Chen Jingshan's hands, and ran over in two steps. He pointed at the Dongxiang Village Chief and said angrily, "What are you doing! A village chief is standing here with the people in the middle of a rainstorm! This is ridiculous! Go home!"
Dongxiang Lizheng had never seen her so angry before, and hurriedly explained: "County Magistrate Ye, it's because it rained for several days in a row, and the water in the paddy fields is too..."
"Shut up!" Ye Yunzhao panted, pointing at the people nearby and yelled, "Now! Go home!"
“Yes, yes…”
Several people scattered like birds and beasts. The Dongxiang Village Chief followed her, and Chen Jingshan followed the two of them with a donkey. The three of them arrived one after the other.
Seeing that no one was around, Ye Yunzhao pointed at the Dongxiang village chief's nose and cursed, "Are you stupid? You took people to the paddy fields after fishing for such a big fish! How ridiculous! The paddy fields are right next to the river. If it breaks, how many lives will you have left?"
He stood there, his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose focused on his heart, trying to explain, "Someone came to my house today and said the water level in the paddy field was too high and they were worried the fry would escape... After all, you worked so hard to raise these fry, so I'm just worried..."
"Fish, fish, fish! Is there anything else on your mind besides fish?" Ye Yunzhao was still furious. "Fish is more important, or is your life more important? Speak!"
The Dongxiang village head replied unconvincedly: "Life, life is important, County Magistrate Ye, I'm sorry, it's me..."
"It's not me you're letting down, it's those villagers!" She paced back and forth in anger, angrily saying, "If you died there today, how would I explain to your families? You're a village head, too, how could you be so clueless? It's raining so hard, I'm scared just thinking about it now!"
Having said this, he understood the reason for her anger and said with a sense of shame, "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Ye. I thought the levee had been reinforced before, so it shouldn't be a big deal... I was confused about this matter. You can punish me however you want."
Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure. After taking two deep breaths, she managed to calm down. "I heard the Dongxiang dam is damaged. The most important thing right now is to bring a dozen people to inspect it inch by inch. It's raining so hard right now. If the dam is not strong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Dongxianglizheng hurriedly said: "I'll find someone to check it out right away!"
Ye Yunzhao nodded, his nerves still tense: "I'll go back to the county government office first and come back later." After that, he hurried out.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ye Yunzhao handed the reins to the common people, thanked them, and then said to Chen Jingshan, "I remember you have a yard in Lingnan County. Take me there."
Hearing this, Chen Jingshan was stunned, and then he laughed quickly: "Okay!"
"Is your brother at your house?" she asked.
"My brother?" Chen Jingshan was a little confused and answered obediently, "He's at home in Yuezhou City. What's going on? Are you looking for him for something?"
"Just asking." Ye Yunzhao looked at the gate in front of him that looked out of place in Lingnan County and asked curiously, "So you live alone?"
Chen Jingshan nodded, opened the door and led the horse in, then motioned for her to come in: "Yes, I'm alone."
The scenery in the yard is very beautiful. Passing through the corridor, there are continuous rockery. A few lotus flowers are swaying in the pond, and ripples are forming on the water surface. You can vaguely see a few red and yellow koi in the pond, which is quite charming.
"I was wondering how you could deliver food boxes to the county government office every day. So you live here." Ye Yunzhao looked around with interest, but after entering, she didn't see anyone. She asked again, "Not even a servant?"
Chen Jingshan explained, "Because we don't live here often, there are only a few people who clean the yard. They only come here once every seven or eight days to sit here."
The two of them were currently in what looked like a teahouse, with no doors on either side. On one side, they could see the beauty of a pond and rockery, while on the other, a bamboo forest swayed in the breeze. Chen Jingshan sat there brewing tea, somewhat surprised by the scene. A smile etched in his voice, he was happily demonstrating his tea-making skills.
Ye Yunzhao walked around the tea room twice, then sat down next to him. Her head seemed unusually clear, yet also a little dizzy. She turned her head to look at Chen Jingshan: "Chen Jingshan."
He turned around with a smile and was about to hand her the white jade teacup: "Are you impatient? Try it."
Ye Yunzhao suddenly raised his hand, inserted two fingers into his collar along his rolling Adam's apple, then slightly clenched his fist and turned it to the right. With a little force on his hand, Chen Jingshan was pulled hard without any preparation, and then he felt a cold and soft touch.
She kissed him, fleetingly and fleetingly.
Ye Yunzhao stepped back slightly, her cheeks burning. This was the first time she had the audacity to do such a thing, and she could hardly show a bit of shyness. She coughed lightly a few times, pretending to be indifferent: "You..."
The tone was a little strange. Chen Jingshan took the initiative, supporting her with both hands and pressing forward. She was trapped in his embrace, her face flushed to the tips of her ears. His voice was as soft as a mosquito: "You, what are you doing... I want to go out."
His eyes were tender, but he stared at her intently: "Why did you kiss me?"
Ye Yunzhao felt uneasy when he stared at her. Her current posture was too strange, and she was firmly held in his arms. She regretted her inexplicable behavior just now. She just turned her head to look at the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind, and kept talking about other things, refusing to answer.
"Why are you kissing me?" Chen Jingshan's magnetic voice sounded in her ears, and a cool kiss fell on her lips.
He lingered on her lips, one after another, making him unable to stop, his voice low and deep, as if it had the power to bewitch people: "A Zhao, why are you kissing me?"
"Wait." Ye Yunzhao raised her hand and pressed it against his chest. She looked at him with misty eyes, her heart beating uncontrollably. She tried to put some distance between them.
Chen Jingshan saw through her intention, put his right hand on her back, and with a little force, the two of them stuck together.
"What are you waiting for? Ah Zhao, answer me, why did you kiss me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly covered her with dense kisses, with an overbearing attitude that would not allow for rejection.
His heart pounded like thunder. He wanted to know the answer, yet he dreaded hearing something different than what he expected. He could only kiss her, to hold the lips that might have hinted at rejection, to swallow the words that threatened to disapprove. He loved her, as the heavens and the earth could attest, and he let out the uneasiness that permeated him through the kiss.
Different from the previous kisses which were just a brief one.
Chen Jingshan's breathing was slow, and he patiently kissed and rubbed her little by little until she had exhausted the oxygen around her and couldn't help but let go of his lips.
He raised his hand and pressed against the back of Ye Yunzhao's head, leaving no room for retreat. When his lips and tongue invaded, there was a hint of the fragrance of tea, which made her feel a little helpless.
This was the first time Ye Yunzhao saw him like this, domineering and rude, wanting to eat her alive. His Adam's apple rolled and a faint swallowing sound came out from the corner of his lips.
The draft rushed past her ears, carrying his voice everywhere. The lingering atmosphere made her feel unfamiliar. The numbness crawled from her tailbone to her shoulders. She really couldn't bear it.
Ye Yunzhao placed his hands on his chest, exerting a little force, his chest rising and falling, and spoke incoherently: "Chen Jingshan...wait..."
He rested his forehead against hers, looking at the lips that were red as blood from his kiss, feeling happy and obsessed with the question that lingered in his mind: "Why?"
Ye Yunzhao took a deep breath and said deliberately: "No reason."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jingshan was about to kiss her again. Ye Yunzhao quickly raised her hand and pressed it against his wet lips, smiling slyly: "You wish."
"Ah Zhao." He stared at her, "Take out the oil paper bag I gave you just now and open it."
Ye Yunzhao didn't understand what he meant, so he took it out from his pocket and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Hearing this, Chen Jingshan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "There's nothing to eat in there."
"If it's not food, then what is it?" She was a little surprised and motioned for him to let go of her.
Not only did Chen Jingshan not loosen his arms around her, but he tightened his grip, resting his head on her shoulder and tilting his head to look at her: "This won't affect you from opening it."
Ye Yunzhao was quite at a loss as to his clinginess, but she could not deny that she enjoyed it very much and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Fingers flew, and inside the oil-paper bag was a stack of strange papers: "What is this?"
"It's so beautiful." Chen Jingshan said in a low voice, and then kissed her cheek and ears one after another.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and she immediately tilted her head slightly: "Don't do this."
"Yeah." He deliberately drew out his tone very long, and agreed with his mouth, but he didn't stop his actions.
Ye Yunzhao picked up the contents of the oil-paper package and found that they were land deeds and house deeds. She roughly counted them and found that there were more than forty of them. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "So many! Why did you buy so many houses?"
"It's not important." Chen Jingshan took the time to answer, raised his hand and pointed at a place on the title deed, reminding, "Look here."
She looked closely and saw a few words written where his finger was pointing: The original owner was Chen Jingshan, the current owner is Ye Yunzhao.
She turned around suddenly, with the surprise in her eyes still not gone, and fell into his trap and kissed him.
"A Zhao took the initiative to kiss me again." Chen Jingshan smirked, "You must be responsible for me."
"Don't be ridiculous." Ye Yunzhao pressed a stack of deeds against his chest. "Are you crazy? Why is my name on it?"
