Chapter 466 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 18
Ye Jingming held Jiang Zhiyi firmly with both hands, and had no intention of letting go for the time being.
Firstly, he was worried that Jiang Zhiyi hadn't fully settled in yet, and secondly... it was also because of a selfish desire deep down that he wanted to enjoy this rare intimacy a little longer.
Of course, these words cannot be said, and they cannot be made too obvious.
After Jiang Zhiyi regained her footing, she let go of him.
"Thank you," she said politely, taking a few steps back to create some distance between them.
Ye Jingming looked at her actions with slight disappointment, but still asked with concern, "You're welcome. Did you twist your ankle?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked down at her feet and felt a slight pain in her ankle, but it wasn't serious enough to affect her movement. So she gently shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
The weeds around this yard grow very densely; if left unattended for just a few days, they will grow quite tall, so I have to come and weed frequently.
Jiang Zhiyi felt that this couldn't go on, and the weather was so hot that cleaning it every time would be exhausting.
She thought about spraying some pesticides and then picking some gravel to lay down.
Seeing her lost in thought, Ye Jingming asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Zhiyi: "I remember last time the village repaired the road, there were a lot of stones left over, right? They were piled up in that little square. Do you think you could sell me a few bags? I'm planning to tidy up around the courtyard wall properly; it's always overgrown with weeds, which is such a headache."
Those stones were bought together with money from everyone, so if she wants to use them, she naturally has to pay for them; otherwise, the villagers will inevitably have objections.
Although most people are friendly, there are also quite a few petty and gossipy people in the village.
Ye Jingming nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Sure, I happen to be free today, I'll go get a trolley and bring it over."
Jiang Zhiyi: "I'll go with you."
Ye Jingming looked down at her foot, which she had accidentally tripped over earlier, and said, "You should rest first. You have work to do later. I'll be right back. One person is enough."
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyi did not insist any further.
She sat under the big tree in the yard, waiting for Ye Jingming to return.
The trees were very tall, with dense leaves that acted like a giant umbrella, blocking out the sunlight with only a few small gaps.
It was indeed hot, but the temperature dropped immediately when we went to a shady spot.
Jiang Zhiyi sat there for a while, then looked behind her.
These days, Lu Jingxun seems to be avoiding seeing her, as he goes to the balcony less often. She keeps looking towards his balcony, but she hasn't seen him.
I only glanced at him casually and didn't expect to see him, but it was quite a coincidence that Lu Jingxun was enjoying the cool air on the balcony.
The two looked directly into each other's eyes.
A gaze exchanged after many days.
Lu Jingxun's expression remained calm, showing no unusual behavior, and he quickly looked away.
But deep down, I couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
Last time she said she liked him, really liked him, and used several exclamation marks to emphasize it when she sent the message, along with all sorts of cute and affectionate heart emojis...
Now she's hugging another man.
On such a hot day, cuddling in the yard under the sun, are they both idiots?
Perhaps the sun has clouded their minds, making them do foolish things.
Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Jingxun.
It's unfortunate, everyone says money is hard to earn and shit is hard to swallow, and Lu Jingxun is the one who's hardest to swallow...
Even if he ignores her, she still has to find a way to make herself feel relevant to him.
Jiang Zhiyi: [Do you want some watermelon? It's freshly picked from the field, very sweet. If you don't eat it, there won't be any left; I only saved a little.]
