Chapter 239 Greedy Orphan Nanny VS Mentally Retarded Young Master 6
Li Dongyan, who was expected to return in the morning, never showed up. He then called back, saying that he had some things to take care of and might not be able to go back for a few more days.
Jiang Zhiyi was actually quite pleased to hear the news; she felt extremely uncomfortable when he was there. Although she hadn't done anything wrong, she just felt inexplicably scared and guilty.
It seems Li Dongyan has been preparing for their return to the Jiang family these past few days. Once they're inside the Jiang family, that'll be the truly difficult time for her.
She knew that the Jiang family had many rules.
At that time, she'll be treated like a mere nanny, and her life will definitely not be as good as it is here.
She couldn't help but sigh.
At the dinner table.
Jiang Zhiyi was feeding Jiang Shen porridge spoonful by spoonful.
He can eat by himself, but today he insisted on being fed by her, acting like he was going to die, as if he had suddenly fallen ill.
"You'll have to eat by yourself from now on. You'll need someone to feed you. Aren't you ashamed if word gets out?" Jiang Zhiyi scolded him.
“It’s not shameful.” Jiang Shen shook his head, not revealing his true thoughts.
He had a dream last night.
He dreamt that that annoying person came to his house; she was a guest she had invited.
She fed that jerk; there were many delicious dishes on the table, all of which were his favorites.
He ran over to her and told her that he was also very hungry and hadn't eaten all day, but she ignored him and told him to get lost and not bother her.
Finally, he was so hungry and tired that he could only squat down next to the table and sleep while holding Big Yellow.
"Have you eaten enough?" Jiang Zhiyi asked him.
Jiang Shen nodded and asked, "Can we go out to pick mushrooms today?"
He remembered her saying that after it rained, many small mushrooms would grow on the mountain.
He wanted to pick some mushrooms, but he knew that those colorful and pretty little mushrooms were poisonous and would cause stomach aches if eaten.
If that jerk really comes to visit, he'll leave those poisonous mushrooms for him to eat.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at the weather outside; the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.
She hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.
She also wanted to go out for a walk; the weather was so nice, and staying at home was indeed a bit boring.
“Then go ahead, go upstairs now and change your clothes and shoes,” she said.
"I know." Jiang Shen immediately ran upstairs, moving very quickly.
Jiang Zhiyi also went to her room to prepare. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so she needed to change into a pair of comfortable shoes.
Her room was on the first floor, and the two women lived in the rooms on either side of her. Li Dongyan lived at the other end of the corridor, quite far away from them.
Jiang Zhiyi searched through the shoe cabinet for a long time, but couldn't find the shoes she wanted. She then went to the balcony and realized that the shoes had been washed and dried outside and hadn't been brought in.
"Why are you so slow?" Jiang Shen suddenly barged into her room.
Jiang Zhiyi: "Why are you in such a hurry? If you keep rushing me, I'm not going."
"I want to go, I want to go." Jiang Shen obediently became quiet.
Jiang Zhiyi sat on the edge of the bed changing her shoes.
Jiang Shen leaned closer to her, squatted down in front of her, and reached out to tug at her shoelaces, saying, "I know how to put them on, I'll put them on for you."
"Get away." Jiang Zhiyi quickly slapped him away.
She glanced at the door again. Jiang Shen hadn't closed it when he came in. Luckily, no one was outside, or they would have all seen them.
Those two aunties... Sister Li is a local, with a decent personality and no ulterior motives. But there's another one, Sister Wang, who's a maid for the Jiang family. She's very strict and often has to be told what to do.
"Don't do this again, do you hear me?" Jiang Zhiyi felt it was necessary to emphasize this to Jiang Shen.
"Why?" Jiang Shen asked, puzzled.
Jiang Zhiyi: "Because I'm not stupid. I can eat by myself and put on my own shoes... Do you think I'm as disobedient as you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shen got a little angry. She called him an idiot again, but he wasn't!
But he didn't dare to argue with her, afraid that she would change her mind and not want to take him out.
...
The two stopped to rest on a hillside.
"Stay here and don't move." Jiang Zhiyi saw a lot of mushrooms under a big tree not far away, so she took her tools and went over.
That side was in the shade, and the soil was still wet and a bit slippery.
Jiang Zhiyi was picking mushrooms and heading back when she suddenly slipped. Worried that she would crush the mushrooms, she deliberately veered off course, only to fall straight into the ditch.
"Hiss—" she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
A sharp pain shot through her ankle; she must have twisted it. The pain brought tears to her eyes.
Jiang Shen, who was waiting there, came over to look for her when she didn't return.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shen quickly ran downstairs.
Jiang Zhiyi asked him to help her up, and then limped out of the ditch.
"I twisted my ankle, it hurts a lot, let's go back first today," Jiang Zhiyi said.
"Okay." Jiang Shen nodded immediately.
As the two walked along the road, the sky suddenly darkened and raindrops began to fall, as if a heavy rain was about to begin.
Jiang Zhiyi looked up and saw that the sky was full of dark clouds.
Her legs are too weak to walk fast now, and the two of them will get soaked to the bone in no time.
She thought for a moment, then turned to stare at Jiang Shen... He eats so much every day, it's time he did some work.
Jiang Zhiyi then instructed Jiang Shen to carry her back.
Although Jiang Shen was simple-minded, he was very strong and easily carried her on his back.
"When we're almost home, put me down, okay?" Jiang Zhiyi said.
"I understand," Jiang Shen replied.
Jiang Zhiyi was worried that he would get tired and refuse to walk halfway, so she kept talking in his ear and praising him: "Jiang Shen, you are really amazing. You are the most amazing person I have ever met."
"Jiang Shen, you're so smart and well-behaved, I'll share half of my candy with you from now on."
"Jiang Shen, you're the cutest..."
Hearing these words, Jiang Shen kept grinning.
Seeing his silly grin, Jiang Zhiyi realized he really did look even more like a fool now.
...
When they returned, Sister Li was cleaning the yard.
Sister Li was wondering why the two of them had only left in the morning and were back by noon. She asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
"I twisted my ankle," Jiang Zhiyi said, pointing to her left foot.
"Oh dear, let me take a look for you..." Sister Li does know a little about this kind of thing.
The situation was not too bad, so she brought over some ice for Jiang Zhiyi to apply.
"You should rest well today, I'll take care of him," Sister Li said.
"Okay." Jiang Zhiyi nodded, then told Jiang Shen to go upstairs and play by himself.
Jiang Shen was very obedient at this time and did not bother her.
...
By the afternoon.
Jiang Zhiyi felt a little sleepy, so she went straight to her room to rest and planned to sleep for two hours.
Jiang Shen was bored upstairs, but he couldn't resist sneaking downstairs and into her room.
Because of the rain and the drop in temperature, Jiang Zhiyi's blanket was very thin, and she felt chilly all over, muttering in her sleep, "Cold..."
"What did you say?" Jiang Shen asked her.
"cold……"
Jiang Shen leaned closer to listen carefully and heard her repeatedly saying that she was very cold.
He covered her with the blanket and then ran to close the window to keep the wind out.
But Jiang Zhiyi kept saying she was cold.
Jiang Shen was a little anxious; he didn't know what to do.
He suddenly remembered the animal documentaries he had seen on TV before.
In Antarctica, a very, very cold place, little penguins huddle together for warmth. They stand in a large circle, their bodies pressed tightly against each other so they won't get cold.
Having figured this out, Jiang Shen began to take action.
He took off his coat, leaving only his undershirt, and then crawled into her bed, snuggling up to her like a little penguin to keep her warm.
Jiang Zhiyi felt that the commotion next to her was very loud. Although she was extremely sleepy, she still opened her eyes.
Suddenly, their eyes met.
