Chen Lian and Lin Chan had lived in the family compound for several years and had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Her waist was as thin as a bamboo pole and her hands were so tender that they looked like they had never washed clothes.
Shen Shuyi was grateful. "Thank you both, elder sisters. Brother Yan will be back soon. I don't have much work to do."
Seeing that she really couldn't help, Chen Lian and Lin Chan could only smile and say, "Okay, if you need anything, just let us know next door. We'll do our best to help as neighbors."
Shen Shuyi quickly emptied the vegetables from the basket, returned the basket to them, and at the same time grabbed a handful of candy and a few pieces of fruit into the basket.
As Chen Lian and Lin Chan carried their baskets home, they exchanged a remark: "That Shuyi girl is so polite."
"That's right, the girls in the city are really pretty, with fair skin and arms. It's just that the sun is so strong on our island, it would be a shame if they got tanned."
Shen Shuyi looked at the large bunch of green vegetables on the stone table by the well, including cucumbers, green beans, and bok choy. Here, she was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger to cook, so she definitely couldn't cook.
She'll wait until Yan Zheng comes back and see. It's not good to have him bring her food every day. Not to mention that the food in the cafeteria is not very good, she's worried that people will gossip about Yan Zheng every day.
Yan Zheng returned quickly, bringing back a lunchbox as usual.
During the meal, Shen Shuyi told him about Lin Chan and Chen Lian bringing over the food.
Yan Zheng said, "Comrade Chen is the wife of Meng Gang, the battalion commander of the First Regiment, and Comrade Lin is the wife of Ai Hua, the company commander of the First Regiment. If you have anything to do at home and I can't get back, you can ask them for help."
Shen Shuyi nodded and pointed to the bare courtyard. "Brother Yan, I heard they raise chickens and ducks and grow a lot of vegetables in the yard. I was thinking, should we grow some vegetables too?"
"Chicken and duck are out of the question, I don't really like them, they're a bit noisy..." Actually, she was afraid of them getting dirty...
Yan Zheng disagreed, saying, "I'm usually too busy to cook when I get home, so it's more convenient to just get food from the cafeteria."
"If you want to plant something, plant some flowers. I'll find some flowers to plant another day."
He remembered that the Shen family had a large garden, and Shuyi must have liked flowers.
Shen Shuyi burst out laughing. "Nobody else grows flowers. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Don't worry, as long as you like it." Yan Zheng didn't care about other people's opinions.
Shen Shuyi said, "Then could you teach me how to cook when you have time?"
"Look, otherwise all the food they delivered would have gone to waste."
Yan Zheng didn't know if she was the kind of person who only had a short attention span, but since the young lady wanted to learn, he was happy to teach her.
"no problem."
"Brother Yan, you're so kind!" Shen Shuyi turned to the side and kissed him on the cheek.
Yan Zheng was stunned, seeing a blush creep onto her fair and jade-like face.
He suddenly felt a tightness in his throat and instinctively looked at her with deep eyes.
Shen Shuyi's heart pounded as he looked at her.
She slightly raised her chin. "This is a reward."
"There will be an even bigger reward once you teach me how to cook."
Yan Zheng's eyes grew even deeper, and his voice was low, "I'm off tomorrow and don't need to participate in the training camp."
Shen Shuyi felt that his voice was too magnetic, making her heart tremble slightly. "Then teach me tomorrow."
After saying that, she suddenly stood up. "It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower!"
Yan Zheng didn't even realize it himself, but a faint smile appeared on his lips as he got up to clear the dishes.
...
When Shen Shuyi came out of the shower, Yan Zheng had already washed the dishes.
As the two passed each other, Yan Zheng smelled her particularly pleasant fragrance.
In the sweltering summer heat, Yan Zheng didn't use hot water to take a shower; instead, he carried a large bucket of cold water into the bathroom.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, a pink dress was shaken and fell off the clothes rack.
Yan Zheng subconsciously reached out and caught it, but he was a little confused when he saw the clothes in his hand.
It's very thin and small, a bit like a vest, but also quite different.
There's also a lace trim around the bottom...
When Yan Zheng suddenly realized what it was, he quickly put it back on the clothes rack, and in his haste, he pulled all the other clothes on the rack to the ground.
A pair of light pink panties was clearly visible.
Yan Zheng closed his eyes, picked up all of Shen Shuyi's clothes that she had changed out of, stuffed them into the wooden tub, and then quickly took them outside before returning to the bathroom to take a shower.
The man pursed his lips, trying to banish those images from his mind, afraid that Shen Shuyi would think he was a hooligan.
While Yan Zheng was still away, Shen Shuyi applied skincare products in her room.
In this era, most products were cold cream, but applying cold cream in the hot summer is too sticky. She took out some skincare products that she had collected and stored in her space.
It's refreshing and non-sticky; I applied it carefully to my hands, face, neck, and legs.
She suddenly remembered that she had left her underwear in the bathroom and hadn't taken it out yet. She quickly got up to get it, afraid that Yan Zheng would see it when he took a shower.
Shen Shuyi ran out in her slippers, almost bumping into the man coming out of the bathroom.
Yan Zheng had just finished showering and was wearing only his pants, drying his hair with a towel.
He was also stunned when he saw Shen Shuyi. "Why are you running so fast?"
Shen Shuyi's gaze followed Yan Zheng's eight-pack abs and impressive V-line downwards...
Those muscle definition and power are absolutely amazing! And those long legs too!
Does she eat that well?
Wait...she hasn't even eaten yet!
How about I sleep with my head on his abs tonight?
A strong scent of hormones wafted over her, and Shen Shuyi subconsciously swallowed.
"Uh, it's nothing."
Yan Zheng: "I put your clothes in the wooden basin."
