Chapter 468 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 20
Even though Jiang Zhiyi always stayed in the countryside and was constantly exposed to the wind and sun, her skin was still very good, fair and radiant, without a trace of dullness.
Her face was flushed from the heat, as if she had applied rouge.
She is undoubtedly beautiful, but compared to other beautiful people, she has a more distinctive look that makes her unforgettable at first glance.
Actually, he was a little embarrassed, because Ye Jingming was attracted to her the first time he saw her.
A very pretty girl—that was his first impression of her.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was love at first sight.
But his attraction to her wasn't just based on her looks; as they spent more time together, he discovered she was a very interesting person.
No one could dislike a girl like that; even if you wanted to stay away, you would unconsciously be drawn to her.
Jiang Zhiyi: "What are you looking at?"
When she noticed him staring at her, she asked him a question.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, from the exhaustion of working, and she hadn't had time to wipe it off; it was probably also covered in dust.
"I'll go wash my face later... My face must be dirty, right?" Jiang Zhiyi smiled sheepishly.
"It's not dirty." Ye Jingming shook his head.
He wanted to say something to praise her, but in the end he didn't say anything and fell silent again.
After a while, Jiang Qiuyin and Jiang Qiujin, who were sleeping upstairs, ran downstairs.
"Watermelon!" Jiang Qiujin shouted first, her eyes fixed on the watermelon in their hands. "I want some too!"
Jiang Qiuyin followed behind, "Brother, I want one too."
"My sister wants one too!" Jiang Qiujin shouted again, clearly audible, but he still shouted loudly, as if afraid that Jiang Zhiyi would ignore their request.
"Wait a minute... stay here quietly, I'll cut you another one." Jiang Zhiyi went inside and brought out a small watermelon.
It's so tiny, it looks like it hasn't grown up yet.
She cut it in half with a knife, then gave each of them a spoon, saying, "Go inside and eat, don't be in the sun."
It's so hot; it wouldn't be good if someone got heatstroke.
Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin carried the watermelon back into the house, and then each took a small stool and sat at the door.
Ye Jingming: "They'll be starting kindergarten in September, right?"
Jiang Zhiyi: "Yes, we've already found a school. They won't have time to cause trouble at home anymore, which will save me from worrying about them every day."
Ye Jingming then asked, "What about you? Do you want to go to school? To study at a university outside?"
Staying in the village all the time isn't a solution either. If she's willing, he can help her come up with ideas. Although the schools might not be very good, at least she'll have somewhere to go.
Jiang Zhiyi remained silent for the time being.
She certainly wanted to go, but she wanted to go to a better place.
He can't help with this...
Anyone with the surname Lu is acceptable.
...
night.
All was quiet, a gentle breeze was blowing, carrying the restlessness of a summer night, and a few stars hung faintly in the sky.
Jiang Zhiyi leisurely lay on the deck chair on the balcony and sent a message to Lu Jingxun.
The cutest baby: [Why aren't you replying to me?]
The cutest baby: [What happened? Where are you? Where did you go?]
Within minutes, she sent several messages in a row.
He replied during the day, but then it was as if he disappeared.
Jiang Zhiyi turned her head to look over there. Usually, the balcony lights would be on at night, but today not only were they off, but there wasn't even any light coming from the room. The curtains were drawn tightly shut.
That's really unusual.
However, she knew that Lu Jingxun could definitely see the message; it was just a matter of whether he wanted to reply or not.
She's deliberately trying to bother him, to make him unable to ignore her, since he hasn't blocked her yet.
If he blocks her... then she'll use that as an excuse to go find him directly.
In short, there's always a way to get into his sight.
He wanted to avoid her, but that was impossible.
After sending messages for a while, Jiang Zhiyi took a break and opened a shopping app. The ice cream in the refrigerator was almost gone, so she had to hurry up and buy some new ones.
The delivery service here is inconvenient; you have to go to town to pick it up. If you wait until you've finished eating before buying more, you'll go several days without ice cream.
She picked out a little of each flavor, and specifically chose many more original milk flavors.
This is the best flavor, and my family loves it too.
It's icy cold on the palate, and the rich, creamy flavor spreads instantly on the tongue—it's an absolutely delicious taste.
At the same time, Lu Jingxun opened the refrigerator door and reached in to take out a carton of milk.
It was airlifted from overseas to the airport closest to Lincheng, and then delivered overnight in a refrigerated truck to ensure it remained fresh when it reached him.
Even a small box might cost enough for Jiang Zhiyi's family to eat ice cream for a year.
Lu Jingxun took a few sips of his drink, then looked at the phone on the table next to him that kept ringing.
He closed his eyes and reached out to pick it up.
You don't even need to look to know who posted it.
It's already night. Who else but Jiang Zhiyi would do such a thing?
Since adding her, his phone has never been quiet; the message notification sound rings countless times every day.
Lu Jingxun: [It's very noisy.]
Even though he only posted two words, you could feel his strong dissatisfaction between the lines.
Jiang Zhi felt relieved when he replied. She didn't care what his reply was, whether it was disdain or a normal attitude.
If he found it noisy, he could have simply blocked her or deleted her, but he still replied, which means he brought this on himself; he gave her a way to keep "harassing" him.
Jiang Zhiyi: [Do you still want the watermelon? I saved the best for you.]
A little face, happily munching on a watermelon, also popped up on the screen.
Lu Jingxun recalled the scene he had witnessed during the day.
They said they saved it for him, but I don't know if that's true or not. It's obvious that it was already given to someone else.
Two minutes later, photos of several large watermelons in the corner were sent over, looking like they had just been taken.
The corner of the girl's clothes was also visible in the photo.
The cutest babies: [These are the biggest ones!]
It carries a hint of showing off.
Lu Jingxun could almost picture her proud little expression; she could praise even the most worthless junk with great enthusiasm.
After thinking about it, he replied anyway.
Lu Jingxun: [Keep it for yourself.]
He doesn't lack these things. Her family is struggling financially, wouldn't it be better for her to keep them for herself?
She had to give it away. Giving it to him was one thing, since he had just given her some money, but giving it to another man to eat... How could he not have known she was so generous?
The cutest baby: [Why did you ignore me just now?]
The cutest baby: [I'm downstairs, will you come out now?]
In just a short while, Jiang Zhiyi had already reached the outside of the courtyard wall.
She had just gone downstairs to take pictures of watermelons, so she decided to come out for a stroll. It was still stuffy inside, but it was much cooler outside.
If he doesn't see her, she'll just consider it an outing to cool off.
The next picture was of the roadside, taken with a flash, showing even the lush weeds along the roadside in great detail.
Jiang Zhiyi waited for about five minutes.
There were many mosquitoes around, but she applied mosquito repellent before going out, so the mosquitoes didn't dare to bite her.
Not long after, Lu Jingxun came downstairs and left the courtyard.
Jiang Zhiyi stood by the wall, not even approaching the gate. Lu Jingxun looked around before he noticed her.
She stood under the streetlight, wearing a cool summer tank top, her hair wrapped twice with a headband, but not tightly, hanging loosely over her shoulders.
Seeing him come out, she immediately ran to him, handed him a box of sliced watermelon, and said as if to show off, "It's all cut up, have a taste first... If you like it, I'll bring you some fresh ones tomorrow."
Lu Jingxun did not answer at the moment.
Jiang Zhiyi simply fed it to him, but since he was tall, she held her hand high as well, saying, "Try it."
Her tone was more than just a simple urging, nor could it be entirely described as coquetry; it sounded as if she was about to lose her temper if he didn't know his place.
Her eyes were still bright and sparkling as she kept looking at him.
"Eat quickly," she said again.
Lu Jingxun paused for a moment, then lowered his head and took a bite.
It was chilled, with a slight coolness, and very sweet. The juice, carrying the fragrance of watermelon, flowed slowly down my throat, effectively dispelling a lot of the heat.
Seeing that he had given in, Jiang Zhiyi fed him a few more pieces.
"Take another bite."
The tone was like coaxing a child.
In just a short while, her hands got a little tired, so she handed him the watermelon, saying, "You can have it yourself."
Jiang Zhiyi was no longer going to serve him.
Just feed her a couple of bites as a gesture, do you expect her to keep feeding her?
Her younger siblings are not this spoiled.
Lu Jingxun didn't answer, "Okay, I'm not eating anymore."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhiyi looked at him. He was clearly eating well just now. She had already decided that since he was satisfied, she would sell him all the watermelons in the house, good or bad, big or small, at a high price in a few days. "Do you still want me to feed you?"
She made a move to feed him.
Lu Jingxun shook his head and said, "You can't eat too much at night."
"Oh... then take it back and put it in the refrigerator." She forcefully shoved the watermelon into his hand. "I'm going home now. You should go to sleep early... I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Remember to tell the security guard to let me in."
Fearing he wouldn't agree, she didn't wait for his reply and immediately ran away after speaking.
Not long after, Lu Jingxun also returned to the house.
The nanny, who was waiting in the living room, went to greet him, only to see that his body was covered in red mosquito bites. "Oh dear! How did you get bitten like this?"
Lu Jingxun's body was covered in bites, even his handsome face was covered in bites, which didn't match his good looks at all.
The nanny rushed to the room to get the medicine to apply to him.
Lu Jingxun glanced at himself and found it amusing.
How could he not realize how much he craved her food, insisting on going down there and wasting so much time keeping her company while she fed the mosquitoes?
The price for this bite of watermelon was really high.
