"Have you read the letter that my sister brought you?" Yu Qizhe rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of grievance, "Don't you miss me at all?"
Yu Jiao froze for a moment, then raised her hands to hug his waist and rested her cheek on his warm chest. "Trust me, I have something to do over there. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
"You haven't told me whether you miss me or not." Yu Qizhe said stubbornly.
Yu Jiao was a little amused, and the tip of her ear, which was pressed against his chest, felt slightly hot as she said, "I missed you. I wanted to see you, so I came back."
Yu Qizhe felt much happier after hearing that. He held Yu Jiao's arms tighter, kissed her hair lightly, and whispered, "I'll accompany you to Qiyun County this time."
Yu Jiao responded softly. Yang Jiyan had been staying in Changkui and refused to leave, so it would be a good idea for Yu Qizhe to go with her to Zhixun County to take shelter.
Feeling that the waist in his arms seemed to be thinner, Yu Qizhe said with some concern, "Yes, you have lost weight. Is there a lot of work at the grain store?"
"It's not very busy. Usually the shop assistants do all the work in the shop." Yu Jiao really didn't feel that she was thin. She tilted her little face up, held Yu Qizhe's hand, and touched the soft flesh on her chin with his hand. "Look, the baby fat is still there."
Yu Qizhe smiled down at her and gently rubbed the soft flesh on her jaw with his fingertips, seeming reluctant to let go.
Yu Jiao felt a little embarrassed by his pinching, and said in a depressed tone, "You seem to have grown taller, why haven't I grown taller?"
She looked so sweet and innocent when she said this, which was very endearing.
Yu Qizhe smiled warmly, and the coldness between his eyebrows melted into ink, "It's okay for a woman to be a little petite."
"But I am only as tall as your chin now. If you grow taller in the future and I am still this short, won't I have to look up every day to see your face?" Yu Jiao was 1.65 meters tall in her previous life. Although she was not the tallest among women, she was not short either.
But now her height is at most 1.56 meters, while Yu Qizhe is already about 1.78 meters tall. He is only sixteen years old. At his current growth momentum, he will still grow taller in the future!
I don’t know if it’s because her soul has changed, or if she didn’t get enough nutrition when her body was growing, but Yu Jiao’s height has not changed at all in the past six months.
When Yu Jiao thought that Yu Qizhe might grow to be over 1.8 meters tall in the future, and she would look like a child standing next to him, she felt like vomiting blood.
A low laugh came from above her head. Yu Jiao let out a soft cry and felt her body lighten. A pair of arms around her waist lifted her up and her feet left the ground.
Yu Qizhe held Yu Jiao's waist with both hands, making her eyes level with his, and then said with a smile, "This way you don't have to look up at me."
Yu Jiao's cheeks turned pink. She was a little shy and nervous as she hugged Yu Qizhe's neck. Her feet were off the ground, which made her feel very insecure. She said anxiously, "Put me down quickly."
Yu Qizhe's youthful nature came to the fore, and his tone was doting but also scoundrelly, "I won't let go."
Yu Jiao looked at him helplessly, "Let go quickly, if someone sees..."
"Let him see it. You are my wife according to the household deed. There is no need for me to hide from others when I am close to you." Yu Qizhe said with a smile.
Hugging and kissing like this was already very inappropriate. How could Yu Qizhe, a real Taiyan man, be more unscrupulous than her?
Yu Jiao punched his chest lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Put me down now."
She was embarrassed to be held up like a child.
Yu Qizhe loved Yu Jiao's feminine behavior, but he was afraid of really angering Yu Jiao, so he put Yu Jiao on the ground and held her hand.
Yu Jiao gave him a glare and moved away, refusing to let him hold her hand.
Yu Qizhe laughed softly and took her hand again, coaxing her softly, "I won't bother you anymore."
Yu Jiao then let him lead the way. Noticing that Yu Mengshan didn't seem to be there, she looked up and asked, "Why isn't Uncle Mengshan at home?"
Yu Qizhe was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable looking up at him, so he pulled Yu Jiao to the inner room. They sat down at the table and he said, "The bridge over Qingshui River needs to be repaired. Dad, uncle, and the villagers are working on it at the foot of the mountain."
When Yu Jiao came back just now, she saw that the houses in the village that were destroyed by the flood had been rebuilt. On the surface, the village seemed to have returned to its former state, but in fact, the disaster and impact brought by this flood could not be eliminated so easily.
She flipped through the articles on Yu Qizhe's desk and noticed that there were almost no books on the desk. She asked with concern, "Did you not buy any books?"
Yu Qizhe pinched the soft flesh on the back of her hand and said, "I've been to bookstores in the city. Most of the books there were ones I already had, so there was no point in buying them."
"The imperial examination is coming up soon, so we still need to read some books." Yu Jiao said, "It's still early, I'll go with you to the bookstore to buy some books."
Yu Qizhe looked down at her, his eyes warm, and rubbed her hair with a smile, "Are you worried about my studies?"
Yu Jiao nodded.
Seeing her serious expression, Yu Qizhe explained, "I have memorized all those books by heart. It doesn't matter whether you read them or not. You don't need to worry about academic matters. I know my limits."
The imperial examination focuses on policy questions. Yu Qizhe has written quite a few policy questions recently and showed some to Principal Lin. His decision not to buy the book is not out of stubbornness.
"Are these comments written by Principal Lin?" Yu Jiao flipped through the article written by Yu Qizhe and noticed that there were small comments below, most of which praised the article for being well written. She felt relieved.
