Zhao Changqing's face was directly facing a slender waist.
He opened his palm, wanting to grasp it...
But in the end, he didn't dare.
This is her territory; any rash actions will result in being kicked out.
"alright."
He Youyou touched her hair, which was about 70-80% dry, and put away the hairdryer.
Zhao Changqing raised his hand and scratched his scalp hard.
The tactile sensation left by her fingers was still on her scalp.
The sofa next to him suddenly sank, as He Youyou sat down beside him.
"Hanzhang, is something wrong with you calling me so late?"
He had something to do, of course he had something to do, but it was something he couldn't tell her.
"I...I'm back in the capital this time...I wanted to ask you if there's anything I can do for you? Or, is there anyone you'd like me to deliver a message to?"
In this era of inconvenient communication, whenever an acquaintance was traveling far away, they would ask their relatives and friends if there were any letters or items that needed to be carried along the way.
Using this as an excuse is perfectly natural.
However, He Youyou had no relatives or friends in the capital, and did not need to send any letters.
However, she has always been good at making the most of all resources.
The military commander in front of us, who has a strong foothold in the capital, is a very good resource.
Only a fool wouldn't use it.
"Hanzhang," she said with a smile, "your family is in the capital, do you have many connections?"
Zhao Changqing felt a strange itch in his heart from that smile: "Many."
He Youyou's eyes lit up: "Then...among your relatives and friends who you usually visit, how many are officials?"
"……many."
His relatives and friends... were all officials, not ordinary people.
That's great.
After saying that, He Youyou suddenly ran away.
Zhao Changqing waited for a while, and then saw her run back and hand him a round... bowl?
There's also a spoon.
"Come on, have some ice cream... Ah, it's what you call ice cream. Ours has a richer milk flavor, you should try it."
Zhao Changqing took a bite, and indeed the flavor was rich.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious." He chewed on his spoon, looking at her thoughtfully. "Do you need my help with something?"
He Youyou chuckled: "Hanzhang, your nephew will be taking the autumn imperial examination in August. After the examination, I want to get him into the Imperial Academy in the capital."
Zhao Changqing suddenly understood, and his brows and eyes relaxed.
I see.
"For commoners to enter the Imperial Academy, they need local recommendations. Why don't you try contacting local officials?"
“I will definitely make contact with local officials, but I would like to add an extra layer of insurance. If you know any officials in the capital, you can also make contact with them. Maybe by following the clues, you can find a way to get in touch with the Imperial Academy.”
He Youyou strives for absolute perfection in everything she does.
She didn't want to miss any opportunity.
Zhao Changqing agreed, "Okay, if I have the chance, I'll try to find out for you."
"Thank you so much!"
Zhao Changqing lowered his eyes and earnestly scooped out ice cream: "So... how do you want to thank me?"
He Youyou was a perceptive person: "What kind of thank-you gift does Hanzhang want?"
When you need someone to do you a favor, it's only right to give them a small gift.
He put a bite of ice cream in his mouth and swallowed it slowly: "It's hot outside, I can't sleep well, it's not as cool as here."
He Youyou slapped her thigh: "That's right, it's so hot, how can we let the Governor suffer like that?! Now that you're here, you must be treated to the best accommodations! Constant temperature and humidity, no mosquitoes to bother you, absolutely a five-star experience. When I was decorating this villa, I hired the top designers, used the best materials, and the soundproofing is top-notch, guaranteeing the Governor an excellent night's sleep. Come on, let me show you the room!"
Zhao Changqing smiled and followed her upstairs to the second floor.
The guest rooms on the second floor are cleaned regularly, and the bedding is complete and the rooms are decorated in a warm and comfortable style.
"Hanzhang, what do you think of this room?"
Zhao Changqing walked around inside with his hands behind his back, looking very casual.
Instead of offering an opinion, he simply asked, "Where do you sleep?"
He Youyou blinked: "Of course I sleep on the third floor, in my own room."
Zhao Changqing nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What's your room like?"
"Uh...you want to see it?"
“Yes, I’d like to see.” He admitted without hesitation.
Okay, I knew you wouldn't stand on ceremony.
He Youyou sighed helplessly. She had come to their door asking for a favor, so she had to make sure they were satisfied.
I had no choice but to take him up to my bedroom on the third floor.
Upon entering the room, Zhao Changqing was full of praise.
"This room is nice, the bed is really big."
"Yes, I like big beds."
He Youyou, the domineering female CEO, wakes up every day in her own two-meter-wide bed.
Zhao Changqing gave her a meaningful look: "Me too."
This bedroom is connected to two separate spaces: a large dressing room and vanity, and a bathroom and toilet.
"It's a hidden paradise," Zhao Changqing remarked as he toured the place.
He Youyou chuckled and asked, "Is Hanzhang satisfied?"
He nodded: "Very satisfied."
"Then you should go to sleep early, see you tomorrow."
He Youyou said this, then left the room and closed the door behind her.
Alas, when you need someone's help, you have no choice but to bow your head.
It's just a room, it's fine, she doesn't care, she'll give it up.
After she left, Zhao Changqing lay down on her big bed, sinking into the mattress. He felt support in every part of his back, but it didn't feel hard.
It feels so comfortable, like lying on a cloud.
The bed was covered with dark green silk sheets, which were incredibly soft and smooth.
On the roof, a few soft lights illuminated the entire room, but were not glaring.
There was also no burnt smell of lamp oil.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, unlike ordinary incense.
It was the scent that had once lingered on her.
Thump thump thump—
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhao Changqing snapped out of his reverie and jumped out of bed in a panic.
When I opened the door, I saw He Youyou standing outside, holding a glass of water.
With a gentle smile, she said, "I was worried you might be thirsty in the middle of the night, so I got you a glass of water."
Zhao Changqing accepted the cup with a solemn expression: "Thank you."
"good evening."
The door closed again.
Zhao Changqing leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.
Lying back in bed, I still couldn't believe what I was seeing; it felt like a dream.
I couldn't fall asleep for the first half of the night, my mind was racing with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.
I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but in my dreams I kept tossing and turning over the same person.
"Hanzhang, Hanzhang! Get up, get up!"
He vaguely heard someone calling his name.
He suddenly grabbed the man's hand.
He Youyou hissed out in pain.
Zhao Changqing then came to his senses, opened his eyes, and found He Youyou standing right in front of him.
"long?"
"Hiss—I came to wake you up out of kindness, and you attacked me instead."
Zhao Changqing got out of bed: "Sorry, I didn't know it was you."
