Yu Tanqi straightened up and pounded his back with both hands: "I'm so tired. It seems like we've been busy for two quarters of an hour. Let's take a break."
Jiang Shi put down the shovel and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, go wash your hands first."
There was dirt on their hands.
Yu Tanqi blinked and said, "No, I still have to be busy later. It's a waste of water."
The hair felt a little itchy on her cheek, and she subconsciously brushed it away with the back of her hand.
Jiang Shi watched helplessly as a shallow mark of mud appeared on her fair little face. The girl's eyes were clear and round, like a cat with a dirty face.
He couldn't help laughing: "You got some dirt from your hands on your face. Don't you really want to wash it off first? You look like a cute little cat now."
"Ah? There's dirt on my face? Is it much?" Yu Tanqi instantly became nervous and looked up at him.
Jiang Shi's fingers moved, and he had the urge to reach out and help her wipe her face clean, but there was also dirt on his hands, and the more he wiped, the dirtier it would become.
"Not much, but it's obvious because Tan Qi has a very fair face."
"Then let's go wash our hands and faces." It's better to have someone laugh at you with a dirty face than to waste water.
She is a noble lady, she should pay attention to her image and not embarrass herself.
Jiang Shi laughed and went to the well with Yu Tanqi to wash their hands.
He washed his hands quickly and wiped them clean. Yu Tanqi had just washed her hands when Linlang, who was next to her, was about to wash her face with a clean, wet handkerchief.
The girl pursed her rosy lips, slightly raised her dirty little face, and stood there obediently waiting to be washed.
Really cute.
"Let me do it." He held out his hand.
Linlang paused, handed the handkerchief to Jiang Shi, and then stepped aside.
Yu Tanqi opened her eyes slightly and looked at him, her eyeballs were round and round, like beautiful and clear jade.
Jiang Shi's eyes were gentle as he gently wiped her cheek with a handkerchief. His voice was soft and low, like the lingering whispers of lovers: "Next time, remember not to touch your face when your hands are dirty."
They were close, so close that she could hear his breathing.
The boy's fair and handsome face was so close to her that it seemed as if she could touch his fair and smooth face if she leaned forward gently.
Below is a slender neck, and the protruding Adam's apple looks like a piece of jade hidden under the blood-red skin.
The cool smell of the boy mixed with the scent of earth entered her breath. Yu Tanqi pursed her lips and swallowed subconsciously.
Her eyes were a little evasive, not knowing where to look. The cheek that he had wiped with his handkerchief gradually became warmer, as if it had been covered with a layer of gorgeous waist.
Jiang Shi's fingers paused, and the warm temperature of his fingertips made his eyes fall on her blushing cheeks, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"Tan Qi." He suddenly called her name.
"Hmm?" she responded absentmindedly.
"Remember what I just said?"
"I remember." No way.
What did he just say?
"Then say it again." The boy's low voice was filled with a hint of smile.
“…”
Yu Tanqi was startled, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering slightly. She broke free from the temptation of beauty and changed the subject unnaturally: "Did I wipe my face clean?"
"One more thing."
The cheek at his fingertips was so soft that he couldn't help but rub it gently with his fingertips. He felt that neither white porcelain nor silk could be as white and soft as her cheek.
His fingertips were slightly rough, and pressing against her cheek gave her a strange feeling.
Yu Tanqi lowered his eyes slightly, his heart beating faster and faster.
She was increasingly unable to resist his temptation. Was it because spring had arrived?
I just washed my face, but why did it feel like I was doing a very strenuous exercise?
When Jiang Shi finally put his hand down and left her cheek, she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like she had just run 800 meters and stopped to catch her breath. Her brain was a little lacking in oxygen and her face was very red.
Jiang Shi was contented, "Let's sit down and rest for a while."
Yu Tanqi nodded, no longer having the energy to speak, as if whatever he said was the truth.
As soon as the two left the well, Liu came to them with Chen Si.
"Prince, Miss Yu, this is my son, Chen Si, fifteen years old. A few days ago, I went to a nearby village to help recruit temporary workers and just returned today. Chen Si, quickly greet the Prince and Miss Yu."
"Greetings, Prince, Miss Yu." Chen Si bowed and saluted. His voice was hoarse like a duck, a characteristic of a voice changer.
Yu Tanqi was caught off guard by the "duck voice" and was a little uncomfortable with it.
Jiang Shi's voice was so gentle and pleasant that she almost forgot that boys have a voice change period during their teenage years, and the voice at this time is the most unpleasant.
Chen Si also knew that his voice was not pleasant, so he kept his mouth shut after greeting them. However, the way he looked at them was not very friendly, especially the way he looked at Jiang Shi, which was contemptuous and a little disgusted.
He saw what the two men did just now. Not only was the man wielding a shovel to dig the soil and plant flowers, but he was also helping a woman wipe her face. It was really embarrassing for a man.
Moreover, he was too pale and too thin, like a weak scholar, not at all like the child of Marquis Wu'an and General Lan.
Yu Tanqi had read the original novel, so he naturally knew why Chen Si had such an expression.
This young boy, who was still very young, had always dreamed of becoming a great general.
Since he was a child, he has admired the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife very much, and regarded their son, the male protagonist, as his only opponent. He is determined to defeat the male protagonist and become a well-deserved hero.
However, when Director Chen grew up and learned about the male protagonist's reputation in the capital, he was very angry and felt that the male protagonist was not worthy of being his opponent, let alone the child of Marquis Wu'an and his wife.
