Chapter 699 River God 6
He Wei didn't want anyone to serve him, so there was no one outside the study and the study door was closed.
She pushed the door open and entered, the sound startling someone who was painting with their head down. He Wei looked up and saw her, a hint of panic appearing in his eyes. Ning Yan took two steps forward and immediately saw the woman in the painting.
He Wei tried to hide his thoughts, but it was too late; he didn't dare to meet the eyes of the person in front of him.
Yesterday, he went for a walk in the garden and saw her in the pavilion; he was immediately captivated by her beauty.
I didn't sleep well at all last night. After waking up, I ran to the study to draw. Every stroke of my brush was of her!
Ning Yan's lips curved into a smile.
"It's a very nice drawing. Is it a gift for me?"
He Wei coughed lightly. No, he drew it for himself.
But we can't say that now.
"Um."
Ning Yan walked around the desk to the man's side and carefully examined the painting that was about to be completed. "So this is how I am in your eyes."
He Wei: ...No, he couldn't capture even a fraction of her beauty in his drawing, especially her eyes; they weren't nearly as lively as she looked.
Ning Yan originally thought that if this person wasn't attracted to her, she didn't necessarily have to marry him. She could just continue living in his house and the two of them could address each other as cousins.
Anyway, they have little contact with the outside world, and their own affairs are none of other people's business. Besides, even if they found out, they could explain it away. They recognized the life-saving grace as cousins, and outsiders couldn't say anything about it.
But this man clearly likes her.
She looked away and placed the soup bowl on the table, since it didn't matter whether he ate it or not.
Pulling the man's arm away, Ning Yan sat on his lap to the side.
"You..." He Wei tried to push her away, but Ning Yan held his hand down.
"What's wrong with me? I'm so tired. Can't I sit on my cousin's lap?"
Ning Yan deliberately raised her head to look at He Wei, exposing her long neck and the scenery below it to He Wei's eyes.
He Wei's throat bobbed violently, and his hands instinctively gripped the woman's waist.
Isn't her waist a little too thin?
Ning Yan chuckled softly and nestled into his arms.
He Wei felt a little awkward from her laughter, but he didn't push her away. "Aren't you studying lately? How's it going?"
"I don't recognize many of these words. Can my cousin teach me?"
"well."
With the little girl in his arms, he felt a little distracted, but he couldn't resist.
He quickly picked up a book, unfolded it in front of the little girl, and taught her to read it sentence by sentence.
Ning Yan is being very well-behaved right now, why?
Because she truly doesn't recognize any of the words in this world.
It's amazing that even someone as knowledgeable as her still doesn't recognize certain characters.
So she found a literate maid to teach her to read. Unfortunately, very few women could read in those days, and maids had even fewer opportunities to learn. So she learned with great difficulty, not because she was bad at learning, but because no one could teach her.
Now that He Wei is willing to teach, she naturally devotes 100% of her attention to her studies.
After sitting sideways for a while, she changed her posture. Ning Yan looked up and asked innocently, "What's wrong? Did I sit for too long and make your legs go numb? Should I get up?"
"No need, I'm fine." He instinctively put his arm around her, afraid she might really leave.
He couldn't understand how she could smell so good, or why her body was so soft, making him restless and his heart pounding wildly.
"Then continue reading."
He Wei studied diligently, but the hand on her waist never let go, occasionally giving it a barely perceptible squeeze, and Ning Yan's smile never faded.
It's a pity that I'm only fourteen years old and my body isn't fully developed yet. I'm still a little dumpling, so I need to take good care of myself.
The two stayed in the study until dinner time. He Wei was a little reluctant to leave, but he still put down his book. "It's getting dark. It's not good for your eyes to read anymore. How about I teach you again tomorrow?"
"You said it yourself, I'll come again tomorrow, don't ignore me."
He Wei's depressed mood vanished instantly. "No, just come on."
He doubted whether she could really memorize those words just by reading them aloud once.
Perhaps they got so engrossed in the stories in the travelogue that they were captivated.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she comes.
Ning Yan pulled the man's hand, "Come on, let's go eat, I'm starving."
Looking at the small hand that landed in his palm, He Wei closed his fingers and grasped it. He had already done more intimate things, so what difference would a little more make?
In the past, the two of them would eat separately, but tonight was different. Not only did they eat together, but He Wei also kept putting food on Ning Yan's plate. Her body really needed to eat more good food, even though she had been taking supplements for three months, she was still a little thin.
He should grow taller; he's only 1.55 meters tall now, while He Wei is 1.85 meters. When they walk together, there's a huge difference in height.
After dinner, He Wei personally escorted her back to her room to rest, but Ning Yan could see the deep reluctance in his eyes.
Heh, when she first said she wanted to marry him, he was so wary. Now she wants to see how long he can hold out.
He Wei couldn't bear it for long. That very night, he ran back to his River God Palace, took out a lot of treasures, and planned to marry the girl as soon as she came of age next year.
In the days that followed, Ning Yan came to the study every day to learn to read from He Wei. She had originally moved a chair to sit next to He Wei herself, but he got addicted!
He insisted that being too far away was uncomfortable, so he wanted to hold her in his arms and recite to her. He even took out his precious treasure and gave it to Ning Yan, with the only condition being that she behave.
Ning Yan eventually stopped struggling. So what if it was uncomfortable? Anyway, it was winter, and it was quite warm to have someone hold her.
That day, He Wei finished reading another book. Ning Yan turned her head and kissed his chin. He Wei's hand, which was putting down the book, froze. He lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms, but his gaze remained fixed on her rosy lips. Ning Yan looked up again and kissed his lips.
The book fell to the ground with a thud, and Ning Yan's waist was gripped tightly by a pair of large hands, while her lips were pressed forcefully against his.
He Wei was somewhat excited. He wanted to be close to the person in his arms, to be close to her, to hold her, to look at her, to be with her every moment, day and night...
...
That day, studying was neglected, but strange and wonderful knowledge increased, such as how to help the person in your arms tidy their clothes, and how to make her comfortable.
"You'll be of marriageable age in three months. How about we get married then?"
Ning Yan slapped away the man's hand from her waist: "Oh no! Didn't you say I was too small?"
