These words were really ambiguous, but Shen Shuyi sneered in his heart.
"I'm sorry, cousin. I was so eager to pray for my grandmother that I forgot about other things."
The elegant demeanor Zhou Xuanmin maintained was instantly shattered, and he felt that the cousin in front of him was useless except for her face.
She is willful and spoiled, and comes from a merchant family, so she is not worthy of being his wife at all.
His wife should be a good girl of noble status! Like a princess.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."
Zhou Xuanmin felt unwilling when he saw her face that was as beautiful as a hibiscus flower. His cousin used to want to stick to him, but now she looked like she was keeping people at a distance.
It's not a tactic of playing hard to get.
Although her status was not high enough for a noble family, she was more than qualified to be a concubine.
Zhou Xuanmin chased after him, and Shen Shuyi ran quickly.
The two of them were chasing each other, and this is what Zhou Qian saw.
Zhou Qian had just returned from the military camp and did not expect to see this scene.
Shen Shuyi saw Zhou Qian as if he had seen the light, and immediately ran towards him.
"Cousin Yanzhao, my second cousin bullied me..."
Zhou Qian raised his hand and pinched his brows, then spoke in a deep voice to the two people who were chasing him.
"What a disgrace to make so much noise in the mansion."
Shen Shuyi stood in front of him with her hands clenched, and turned back to glare at Zhou Xuanmin, "It was my second cousin who came after me. I have to go to the martial arts training ground to exercise, and he will only delay my work."
Zhou Qian looked at Zhou Xuanmin with a stern expression, "Wen Jing, is this true?"
Zhou Xuanmin had been afraid of this majestic brother since he was a child, but when would it be someone else's turn to take care of the affairs between him and Shen Shuyi.
"Brother, I just want to talk to my cousin about something."
“I have nothing to say to you.” Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes slightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to the training ground."
This time when she left, Zhou Xuanmin couldn't stop Zhou Qian from doing so.
Zhou Qian glanced at Zhou Xuanmin calmly, "Wen Jing, I have to remind you that your cousin is the apple of your grandparents' eye. Don't bully her."
"Brother, you misunderstood." Zhou Xuanmin left with anger.
Diligence brings success while laziness leads to failure, and this is true even for simple running exercises. After Chen Shuyi avoided Zhou Xuanmin, he went to the martial arts training ground for a jog.
Not long after, she saw Zhou Qian, who had changed his clothes and was brandishing a gun.
She ran a lap before walking over, "Cousin Yanzhao, thank you for helping me out just now."
Zhou Qian held the red-tasseled spear in his hand and looked at her. Unlike the pale face she had on the day she escaped from the bandits, Shen Shuyi's delicate face was rosy after running.
Fine beads of sweat were oozing out of her small nose, making her look particularly charming.
"You don't need to thank me. It's the Zhou family who should say sorry. It was Wen Jing who offended you first."
Zhou Qian was too tall, so Shen Shuyi had to look up at him. She took out a peace amulet and held it in front of him.
"This is the amulet I got back from Lingshan Temple. It's my cousin's way of thanking me for saving my life. Is that ok?"
"Isn't this thank you gift too light..."
Zhou Qian lowered his head and saw the small purse containing the amulet, which was exquisitely embroidered with a red plum blossom.
He accepted the amulet solemnly, "My cousin is so thoughtful."
When Shen Shuyi heard this, his eyes were sore and he quickly lowered his head, “I hope my cousin will keep it and keep you safe on the battlefield.”
"good."
"Then I'll go run another lap."
"Go ahead, but don't tire yourself out until you're well again."
"Um!"
When Zhou Qian saw his little cousin working out hard for her health, and thought of his cousin who had a secret meeting with other women during the Shangsi Festival, he couldn't help but clench his hand holding the spear.
Cousin Shuyi is such a brave girl, and Wenjing broke his engagement and broke her heart.
He sighed slightly, and suddenly thought of her being held hostage by the bandits, strong and brave.
He felt deeply sorry that the Zhou family lost such a good daughter-in-law.
Of course he would not speak for Wen Jing. Such a charming and attractive girl should be pampered and loved. Why should she marry him and suffer grievances?
Let everything be as it comes, after all, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhou Qian put down his spear, picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at the target.
The sound of breaking wind sounded one after another, and Shen Shuyi looked up and saw that the man had hit all ten targets, and his resolute face invisibly exuded the charm of a strong man.
Shen Shuyi picked up a bow suitable for Zhou Xuanze's training from the weapons rack and walked towards Zhou Qian. When Zhou Qian stopped and turned to look at her, she spoke nervously.
"Cousin, I want to learn archery, can you teach me?"
Before Zhou Qian could answer, Shen Shuyi heard System 66’s exclamation.
[Host, aren’t you great at riding a horse and shooting arrows? ! In the last dimension, you were still #$&%@...]
"66, what the hell are you talking about? What happened to me in the last dimension?"
"I do know how to ride and shoot, but the original owner doesn't, so it doesn't prevent me from using this opportunity to get closer to Zhou Qian. By the way, what is his current favorability towards me?"
[Congratulations to the host, the mission target Zhou Qian’s favorability towards you has reached 30%. Please keep up the good work! ]
Shen Shuyi, “He currently treats me purely as a cousin and a relative.”
Seeing his cousin's expectant eyes, Zhou Qian had no choice but to agree. He had also been teaching Xuan Ze before.
He taught seriously and patiently, from the bow holding posture, strength, to aiming techniques.
But it is different from teaching Xuanze, after all, Xuanze is his cousin and still a child, but Chen Shuyi is different, although she is a cousin, she is also a grown-up girl.
Throughout the whole process, I never touched Shen Shuyi's hand once.
But because they needed detailed instructions, the two of them stayed close to each other.
"Did you remember the trick?"
"Um!"
