Shen Shuyi pretended to be shy and stammered, "Just, I can't tie the belt of the belly/belt...The one I just wore was for the wedding, I have to change it..."
Zhou Qian's mind immediately flashed that red, that red that made the skin look even whiter...
He coughed lightly and said, "Cousin, this is underwear. I, I'll let the maid come in to help you."
"Cousin, could it be that he has bad intentions? He can't even help with such a small favor." Shen Shuyi said deliberately.
It’s not that Zhou Qian didn’t want to help, he was just afraid that he couldn’t help himself. The fire was already burning fiercely, making his mouth dry and his tongue parched. How could he dare to get close to her at this moment?
But she trusts me so much, if I refuse again, wouldn't it prove that he has something to hide... What if I offend my cousin and she refuses to marry me?
But wearing that...
Shen Shuyi saw that he was hesitant and became a little anxious, “Then tell me what you want to say and leave.”
"I'll help!" Zhou Qian was in a state of confusion. It was not easy for them to meet each other, so naturally he wanted to stay with his cousin Shuyi for a while longer.
Even if you don't say anything, just look at her quietly.
He closed his eyes and walked forward in confusion, "How do I tie it?"
Shen Shuyi turned his back to him and said, "Just tie it behind your neck and your lower back."
"Well, they all have two thin straps."
"Okay." Zhou Qian was thinking about how to avoid touching her skin. She had to open her eyes, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see where the thin strap was.
When he opened his eyes, all he saw was a fair back.
His hands, which usually held a sword and went into battle to kill the enemy, trembled slightly. He forced himself to calm down. He pinched the two thin straps on his neck and tied a slipknot. Then he pulled the thin straps to his back. The thin straps fell in front of Shen Shuyi. He had to pull them behind him...
Shen Shuyi straightened up and felt the man's rough fingertips touching her skin.
The moment Zhou Qian touched the softness, he quickly pulled his hand back, and with his ears burning, he pulled the thin rope again and tied a knot.
He...he touched it.
"alright."
Zhou Qian suddenly stood up and turned his back.
Seeing his ears and cheeks blushing, Shen Shuyi thought that things might be more fun after they got married. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't hide her sly smile, just like a little fox.
Let’s stop here first, otherwise she’s afraid that if she angers this man and he runs away, it will be no fun!
She quickly put on her dress and got out of bed.
"Tell me, is there anything important that brought you here today?" Shen Shuyi walked up to him, put his hands behind his back and looked up at him.
Zhou Qian finally calmed down his excitement, took something out of his arms, opened the oil paper and saw the candied haws starting to melt. He frowned slightly and said, "It's melted."
"Is it for me?" Shen Shuyi looked at the bright red candied haws he took out.
"Yeah, I bought it when I saw it on the way back. I remembered you seemed to like it."
Shen Shuyi reached out and took it, then bit off one and ate it, “The taste hasn’t changed.”
"Would you like to try it too?" She raised her hand and handed it to Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian didn’t like sweet food, but he still lowered his head and took a bite. Seeing that she liked it, his heart felt sweet.
"You came to me just to give me candied haws?"
Zhou Qian wanted to say that he missed her, but was afraid of being abrupt, so he said, "I was away on business this time, and when I came back I met Persian merchants, and they said that young girls all like these jewels."
He took out another small package, which was filled with a bunch of novel jewelry, most of which were decorated with bells and looked very beautiful.
Shen Shuyi picked up a string of anklets and anklets and shook them. The ringing sound was crisp and pleasant. She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Qian, "My cousin is thoughtful. I like it very much."
"And this." Zhou Qian took out another small box from his arms.
"Open it and take a look."
"What is this?" Chen Shu took it so preciously and when he opened it, he saw his delicate and beautiful face.
She exclaimed in surprise, "It's a mirror!"
The local people in Chu State all had bronze mirrors, and the people reflected in them were a little blurry. The small mirror Zhou Qian sent was different, and it looked very clear.
"The Persian merchant said that this is a good thing that only the royal family and nobles in their country can use." Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Qian couldn't help but smile.
"Then how much money would you have to spend to buy it?" Shen Shuyi closed the small mirror. She remembered that Zhou Qian's salary was not particularly generous, and a large part of his salary was sent to the general's mansion.
"I happened to rescue a Persian merchant who was kidnapped by bandits on the road. He gave me this unique mirror as a thank you gift."
"Why did you give me so many gifts?" Shen Shuyi lowered her head as if shy.
How could such a rough general be so careful? Could it be that he received some guidance from an expert?
Zhou Qian moved closer to her and said, "You will be my wife. I want to present all the good things I have obtained to you."
Shen Shuyi managed to suppress the smile on her lips, which curled up slightly again. She stroked the mirror box and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, cousin Yan Zhao."
"As long as you like it." Zhou Qian smiled, his lips raised, his eyes bright. He was looking forward to his cousin Shuyi becoming his wife more and more.
"Cousin, can I ask for a reward?"
"What do you want?" Shen Shuyi raised his eyes to look at him.
Zhou Qian saw her cute little face and said inexplicably, "I want Yi'er to kiss me."
Shen Shuyi's heart was pounding, and she pretended to be embarrassed and annoyed, "Then I can't accept this great gift!"
"Cousin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made such an impolite request. Please accept the gift. I will go back to the barracks now." Zhou Qian said hurriedly.
Shen Shuyi's heart softened when she saw him rushing in exhausted and leaving in a hurry.
"Well, then just do it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Qian.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge difference in their heights, so she only kissed Zhou Qian's chin.
