Chapter 190 World Eight (Thirteen)
In the courtyard, Shen Liushi was frowning and teaching Baoshan loudly: "The Li family is clearly embarrassing us. Your weak and vulnerable appearance makes the Li family think that our Shen family can be manipulated at will."
Shen Liu placed the porcelain plate of rice cakes heavily on the table, her voice filled with anger: "If I had opened the door, I would have thrown these two pieces of rice cakes into the girl's arms and spat on her - we can't get used to the taste! But you, you spoke to the girl in a nice and gentle manner for a long time..."
Bao Shan lowered her eyelids and said in a stammering voice, "Miss Li, perhaps you really do have good intentions."
Shen Liu chuckled: "Kindness? Then the missing piece of rice cake, is it yours, mine, or Yunshan's?"
The two rice cakes were clearly a mockery of the Shen family's stinginess and lack of generosity. Shen Liushi, who had been living alone with Shen Yunshan, was already sensitive and overly thoughtful. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, even taking her anger out on Li Dongran, who had brought the rice cakes. The Shen family lived in poverty, but they had never lacked food or clothing. They weren't so poor that they couldn't even afford a six-copper rice cake and had to rely on the Li family's charity to survive. Cutting and dividing the palm-sized rice cakes was truly a stingy act.
Baoshan only said a few words in defense of Li Dongran and then remained silent.
After all, Bao Shan didn't really have feelings for Li Dongran, and she had her own suspicions about the rice cake. Although Li Dongran's feelings towards Shen Yunshan hadn't been revealed, they were still there.
Li Dongran was thinking about Shen Yunshan, so naturally he would not forget Shen Liushi's. The missing one was for her, an "outsider". Li Dongran might have really done it unintentionally, but she subconsciously ignored the treasure fan, which showed that she was somewhat displeased with it.
Bao Shan's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, his waist was soft, and he had a respectful attitude. Shen Liushi was a person who would not be persuaded by anything. If he was stubborn or obeyed unconditionally, it would only make Shen Liushi more angry.
But Baoshan was born with a soft temperament and was completely dependent on her aunt Shen Liu, so she naturally looked submissive.
"Aunt, I'm wrong. Anger is harmful to your health. Don't let it ruin your health."
Shen Liushi saw Baoshan's eyebrows furrowed, and the worry in her eyes was obviously not fake.
It was Baoshan who was scolded, but he was still concerned about her body.
Shen Liushi's tense brows relaxed instantly, and she tapped Baoshan's forehead with her finger, her voice full of helplessness: "You, if this happens again in the future, call me away, don't let others see that you are weak and deliberately bully you."
Bao Shan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly: "I remember. Aunt is the only one in the world who treats me with such sincerity and love."
After saying that, Baoshan picked up a rice cake and brought it to Shen Liushi’s lips.
These rice cakes were made by Li Dongran himself, but Baoshan would not stop Shen Liushi and Shen Yunshan from using them because, after all, they were bought with copper coins.
The rice cake is fluffy but not loose, with the sweetness of white rice. No wonder such a simple food can attract so many people.
After Shen Liu finished eating the rice cake, she looked at the only piece of rice cake left on the porcelain plate, frowned, and turned to look outside the door: “Why hasn’t the Li family girl brought the other rice cake yet?”
Baoshan said softly, "Maybe it will be delivered later."
But Li Dongran was tripped.
After leaving the Shen family, Li Dongran was distracted. It was not until she walked out of her own door that she clenched the copper coin in her hand and made a decision in her heart: she would deliver the rice cake, explain things to Shen Liushi, and return the copper coin.
She didn't want Shen Yunshan to misunderstand. After all, she didn't go to the Li family for business, but wanted Shen Yunshan to taste her cooking skills.
However, as soon as Li Dongran entered the house, the copper coins in his hand were snatched away. Li Qiuran raised his chin, his expression full of disgust. Even so, just looking at his appearance, Li Qiuran did not make people feel disgusted.
"You came back so late, my clothes are soaked!"
Looking at Li Qiuran's face, Li Dongran's steps staggered slightly, her eyes flickering slightly. She was filled with thoughts: Li Qiuran was loved by his parents, eighty percent because of this pleasing face. But... the girl next to Shen Yunshan, Bao Shan, looked even more beautiful than Li Qiuran, even speaking in a soft and gentle voice that made people's bodies tingle.
With such a beauty next to Shen Yunshan, would he be tempted by her?
There was a loud "bang".
Water droplets splashed, and the water-stained clothes were thrown in front of Li Dongran.
Li Dongran finally came to his senses, only to see Li Qiuran's face filled with anger. He pointed at Li Dongran and said, "You, you! If you don't mend this dress today, you won't be able to sleep!"
Li Qiuran pushed Li Dongran into the house and locked it with an iron lock.
Li Dongran then remembered that she still had to go to the Shen family to deliver rice cakes, and hurriedly knocked on the door and begged, "I will definitely make it up for you tomorrow, tomorrow. Please let me out first!"
Li Qiuran naturally didn't listen. Li Dongran had just promised her that he would wash the clothes in the wooden basin.
Unexpectedly, until dusk, when the clothes were soaked, there was still no sign of Li Dongran.
This time, Li Qiuran no longer believed Li Dongran's words.
Li Qiuran left gracefully, leaving behind Li Dongran who kept knocking on the door.
Baoshan brought the porcelain plate to Shen Yunshan's room. Her frail and soft figure looked a little unstable under the flickering candlelight.
Shen Yunshan raised his eyes, glanced at the rice cake on the porcelain plate, and asked, "Did you make this?"
Bao Shan shook her head and said, "It was made by Miss Li. My aunt bought a few, and I just sent them to my cousin Yunshan."
Shen Yunshan put down his brush. He naturally knew about the shortage of rice cakes and Shen Liu's scolding of Baoshan, but he did not show up to stop them.
It was just because Shen Yunshan felt that Baoshan's temper was really soft, as if anyone could control her at will.
But Shen Yunshan didn't expect that Baoshan had no intention of complaining to him. She just said "buy rice cakes" and lightly passed over the matter.
Xuan paper is cheap, and if you're not careful, the ink will soak through the paper, even Shen Yunshan's fingers will inevitably be stained black. Shen Yunshan said: "If there is dirt on your hands, then..."
Then he put the rice cake down and waited for him to wash his hands before using it.
But Baoshan thought Shen Yunshan meant that since his hands were dirty, he wanted her to do it. Baoshan picked up the rice cake and fed it to Shen Yunshan. The rice cake was soft, and because it had been sitting there for a long time, some crumbs inevitably fell onto Baoshan's fingertips when she picked it up and put it down.
Under Shen Liu's constant admonitions, not a single bit of rice or grain should be wasted.
Baoshan then extended her fingers and caressed Shen Yunshan's soft lips.
My cousin Yunshan, who is usually gentle and refined, actually has a pair of soft lips. When you touch them lightly, you can feel how deep and soft they are.
Shen Yunshan had no idea what the rice cake in his mouth tasted like.
His usually gentle and polite face was now filled with heat.
Her fingers were like peeling onion roots. The slender jade fingers caressed his lips and lightly touched his teeth, making a dull thud.
Almost subconsciously, Shen Yunshan slightly closed his lips and teeth, and took the delicate jade fingers that were teasing him and making him upset into his mouth.
But the instigator of all this unrest suddenly had red eyes, opened his pair of sparkling eyes wide, and weakly accused him of his previous evil deeds.
"Brother Yunshan...it hurts..."
How could it hurt? He clearly only used a little force.
But looking at the fragile and pitiful appearance of Baoshan, she was afraid that even this little strength would not be enough for her to withstand.
Shen Yunshan let her go.
Baoshan's legs were weak because of what she had done just now, and her body was shaking and she was about to fall.
Shen Yunshan embraced her plump, petite shoulders, but, overwhelmed by the warmth of spring, he too fell to the ground. Her soft body nestled beneath his waist. Both of them fell in disarray, but the precious fan landed on Shen Yunshan's body, its long black hair slightly untidy, faintly fiddled with.
A muffled groan came from between Shen Yunshan's lips and teeth. He stretched out his hand to lift up the beautiful woman Nuanyu on his body.
But his palm touched Baoshan's fair cheek and upturned nose. Her skin was so soft and tender that Shen Yunshan's expression froze slightly.
"stand up."
Only then did Shen Yunshan realize that he could not support the treasure fan.
After all, everywhere is filled with tender and fragrant jade, with fair skin and graceful bones. If one is not careful, one will cross the line and be dishonorable. In this case, he can only keep the treasured fan away from him.
But upon hearing this, Bao Shan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her tone was full of helplessness: "I, I can't do this..."
Baoshan's pitiful voice seemed to be about to cry, forcing Shen Yunshan, who had just turned his eyes away from her, to turn around again.
He said in a suppressed voice: "Why not?"
A soft and helpless voice sounded: "My legs... are weak, I can't use any strength."
Shen Yunshan could only help her up. His two palms grasped Baoshan's slender arms. Such a rough move naturally caused Baoshan to cry out softly, "It hurts." Shen Yunshan had no choice but to temporarily abandon his gentlemanly demeanor and hold Baoshan's waist, allowing her whole body to shrink into his arms.
Fortunately, Baoshan's legs were just weak for a moment. After sitting on a round stool to rest for a while, he gradually came to his senses.
Bao Shan raised her eyes to look at Shen Yunshan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she opened her soft lips and asked, "How does the rice cake taste?"
Shen Yunshan had no idea what rice cakes tasted like, so he replied stiffly, "It's tasteless."
Bao Shan lowered her eyelids, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness. There were only two pieces of rice cake. Shen Liu tasted one and said, "It looks crude, but it is fragrant and delicious."
But when it came to Shen Yunshan, it became "boring".
Baoshan didn't know which one was real and which one was fake, because she hadn't even touched the rice cake, so naturally she couldn't taste it.
There was still a trace of snow-white debris on the slender fingers, which was obviously from the rice cake.
A long time has passed, and Li Dongran still hasn't come. I'm afraid I don't know when I can get the first piece of rice cake.
As if by some mysterious coincidence, Baoshan lowered her head, slightly revealing her sweet tongue, and gently licked the remaining crumbs on her fingers.
The taste is light and I can't taste it.
Shen Yunshan, who was standing aside, was almost overwhelmed by the heat on his body. His head felt dizzy and heavy, and he looked at Baoshan with heavy eyes. She was like a weak kitten, secretly savoring the taste of his fingers.
But... that was something he had bitten... How could this be possible?
Shen Yunshan held the treasure fan in his hand, and the softness in his palm could no longer make him dazed.
Bao Shan was puzzled and looked at Shen Yunshan tenderly: "Cousin Yunshan, what's wrong?"
Shen Yunshan almost gritted his teeth and said, "Wash your hands."
Shen Yunshan held the precious fan in his hand and washed his white jade-like palm over and over again.
Shen Yunshan couldn't be sure whether there were still any traces of his presence on the delicate hand of the treasure fan.
But seeing the red marks appearing on the snow-white and soft surface, Shen Yunshan stopped.
After sending away the treasured fan, Shen Yunshan's mind was still in turmoil.
He had no choice but to take advantage of the moonlight and patrol at night to calm his mind, but he never thought that he would meet Li Dongran.
