"Ouch! I fell to my death... My butt! Mingchi, help me up quickly, I can't get up..."
There was a wailing sound, and Hua Shi watched him turn around and disappear among the ten-foot-high weeds. After a rustling sound, he came out after a while, supporting someone.
Only then did Hua Shiye see clearly the man who had been chattering non-stop.
He was wearing a turquoise brocade robe with a long hem tucked carelessly into his trousers. His white trousers were stained with yellow and black mud. He bared his teeth and kept shouting...
"Ouch... Ouch, eh?! Where did this girl come from?!"
Perhaps it was because he saw Hua Dingding standing beside him that his wailing in pain stopped abruptly. His face, which was distorted with pain, suddenly became stern and he shouted in surprise.
Hua Shi smiled awkwardly, looking at the expressionless, stern-faced man opposite her, whose moods were unclear, and she found it difficult to say hello.
It turned out to be Xie Mingchi...
Ye Shaoqing hurriedly shook off his buddy's hand, hid behind Xie Mingchi, tidied up his messy clothes, fiddled with his hair, adjusted his facial expression, then coughed lightly and walked out.
"Ahem, why is this girl here in this desolate mountain area? There are wolves, tigers and leopards everywhere here. It's dangerous. It's better to leave quickly."
Ye Shaoqing shook the loose hair on his forehead, put on a pose that he thought was very handsome, and lowered his voice a little.
If he was still holding his glass fan in his hand at this moment, he would definitely spread it out and fan it twice.
Hua Shi looked at Xie Mingchi beside him.
Xie Mingchi lowered his eyelids, his eyes were calm, and he pursed his lips, showing no intention of saying anything.
Seeing that he had no intention of greeting her, Hua Shi returned her gaze to Ye Shaoqing, a smile spread across her face, and she said, "I was just on my way to the fields and stopped by."
Ye Shaoqing didn't notice her gaze, his eyes attracted by the black cat with smooth fur in her arms. He nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Is the cat in your arms yours? It's really well taken care of. It looks better than the one I have at home."
Hua Shi lowered her head and smoothed the black cat's fur. "I don't consider it my pet. I found it in the mountains. Perhaps it's fate that led it to follow me. It's been less than a month."
"Picked it up in the mountains?!"
For some reason, when Ye Shaoqing heard that it was a wild cat in the mountains, his eyes widened and his tone was filled with disbelief.
Look up when the flowers bloom.
Only then did Ye Shaoqing see her face clearly. His eyes lit up slightly, and his face seemed to blush. He opened his mouth with an expression of amazement, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
I didn't pay attention just now, but now I see that this girl has a pretty face, so delicate...
A pair of clear, bright eyes, dark and sparkling, as if containing tiny fragments of light, willow-shaped eyebrows, a straight nose, bright red lips, a fair and rosy face, long hair that reached her waist and was casually pinned behind her head, and the coarse clothes and trousers she wore could not hide her slender figure like a willow...
Just now, she smiled, and there seemed to be a small dimple on her lips...
Hua Shi's eyes were full of confusion, and the hand holding the black cat tightened a little.
Even Xie Mingchi looked over when he heard that the black cat was picked up from the mountains, and he seemed to be shouting with surprise.
"Did you pick up this cat from the mountains?" Xie Mingchi's rough brows wrinkled a little.
Hua Shi nodded in confusion.
Before Xie Mingchi could speak, Ye Shaoqing, who had come back to his senses, reacted and interrupted, "Miss, you don't know, there are countless rare and exotic animals in the forest and mountains. Cats like cats and dogs are all psychic. Cats raised in the mountains rarely want to get close to humans. You're lucky, Miss."
Xie Mingchi didn't say anything, but judging from the expression on his face, he was also surprised by this reason.
Not only are there very few, but there are also some spiritual animals in the mountains that are very wary and would never get close to the villagers...
Ye Shaoqing said a few words, and the blush on his face became even more intense. He coughed lightly to cover up his awkwardness and said, "The kitten in the girl's arms is very obedient."
"Meow…?"
Perhaps the three of them were discussing him, the black cat noticed something, looked up at the two people on the opposite side, and called out in confusion.
Hua Shi looked at the former, then looked at Xie Mingchi, who had an uncertain expression, and replied, "He is very obedient."
Basically, she didn't need to worry about it. It would go out to find food at a fixed time and place, and she almost didn't need to feed it. On weekdays, it would just drink a few sips of the spring water in her palm. Once it was full, it would stick to her side and bark from time to time...
After hearing what she said, Xie Mingchi looked over with his dark eyes and stared at her several times.
I don’t know if it was an illusion during the flowers blooming, but the tension in Xie Mingchi’s eyes seemed to relax a lot, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her also softened a lot.
She was a little confused and puzzled.
She also knew that from the first time they met, Xie Mingchi seemed to dislike her particularly, and the look in his eyes was full of dislike and rejection.
After much thought, she came to a rough understanding. It was because the original owner had a very bad reputation in the village. Perhaps it was due to the many rumors and gossips that influenced them. After meeting her in person, they were somewhat disliked...
After all, who would like a girl who is lazy, willful, bad-tempered and has a bad reputation?
Hua Shi didn't talk any more, just nodded, smiled, and was about to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Ye Shaoqing was a little anxious and took two steps forward. However, his buttocks were still aching from the fall, so he took a deep breath and hurriedly called her to stop.
"Miss, my name is Ye Shaoqing. I am the second in command of the Ye's Dyeing House in Taohua Town. May I know your name?"
Ye Shaoqing bowed with both hands, put on a proper smile on his face, and asked her name.
Hua Shi paused, a little puzzled, but still replied, "The eldest daughter of the Hua family, a small family, surnamed Hua, named Shi."
"When the flowers bloom... people sit in the brothel late, when the orioles sing and the flowers bloom, they are a perfect match for the girl."
Ye Shaoqing called out softly, looked at her with his eyes, and praised her with a smile.
Hua Shi got goosebumps when he looked at her. She nodded and smiled, then picked up the cat and quickly left in two or three steps.
It was not until the beautiful figure disappeared from his sight that Ye Shaoqing slowly came back to his senses. He raised his hand and patted Xie Mingchi.
"Ming Chi, I think Miss A Shi is very nice. I saw her look at you several times. Do you know her? Or do you know her?"
When Ye Shaoqing came to his senses, he remembered that his eyes had been on Xie Mingchi several times.
Xie Mingchi whispered, "I've seen her a few times, not really acquaintance, but since the kittens in the mountains are willing to get close to her, she must have a very good character..."
