Ahri wiped her hair with a long cloth and said, "You guys are back so soon?"
As Xinghua ate her pastries and drank her tea, she said, "Young Master has gone to rest and doesn't want us to stay here."
After drying her hair, Ah Li sat down at the dressing table, combing her hair with a comb. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Did you prepare a few extra hot water bottles?"
"Sister Yue Li, don't worry, we've finished everything. The young master even praised us for being quick and efficient, and rewarded us with these pastries."
Ah Li put down the comb, walked over and took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of pastry and said, "Then you should spend more time guarding the young master's place from now on."
Xinghua and Chunhua exchanged a glance, put down the pastries in their hands, and asked, "Sister Yueli, aren't you going to stay with the young master?"
In the past, she was always afraid of not taking good care of the young master. She wished she could tie him to her waist, just in case he got cold, hungry, thirsty, or sick.
Ahri drank her water, blinked her big, round eyes, and said, "How could that be? I have other things to do."
"What is it?"
"I need to register the names and ages of those girls to arrange people for the second young master."
Ah Li quickly put down her cup, glanced at Wang Zhixian who was leaning against the door, and hurried over to him, saying, "Young Master, didn't you go to rest?"
Wang Zhixian glanced at Ali. She had just finished washing up, her hair was down, and her face was no longer covered in makeup, giving her a fresh and delicate beauty that made her look pitiful.
Ah Li noticed that Wang Zhixian was staring at her without saying a word. She slowly raised her hand and touched Wang Zhixian's forehead. "Are you feeling unwell again?"
The strange feeling that Wang Zhixian had just experienced vanished instantly. He said, "I just took medicine a couple of days ago, and I feel perfectly fine."
"oh."
Ah Li slowly withdrew her hand. As she lowered her eyes, she noticed Wang Zhixian's soft boots and quickly said, "Young Master, you should go back to the courtyard as soon as possible. These soft boots are not suitable for walking outside. Look, your feet are all wet. Xinghua, Chunhua, take the Young Master back and change his shoes. Let him soak his feet."
"Why."
Apricot Blossom and Spring Blossom came over, and Ali took two steps back.
Wang Zhixian felt that the soles of his feet were indeed a little wet. He straightened up, turned around and left.
After Ah Li and the others left, she went behind the screen, changed her clothes, and half-combed her half-dry hair before sitting down at the dressing table to apply rouge and powder.
Now that everyone has come over, she needs to go and serve them.
After Ah Li passed by, Wang Zhixian held a book in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and soaked his feet while reading.
Ahri rolled up her sleeves and half-squatted down to test the water temperature.
Xinghua came in carrying a small water jug to add water to the basin.
Wang Zhixian flipped through the book and said, "No need."
It means he doesn't need to add water, and he doesn't want to soak it anymore.
Ali took a clean long cloth and used it to lift the pair of feet, which were whiter and more delicate than a woman's, out of the water. After drying them, she took a pair of shoes from Chunhua and put them on the feet.
Xinghua took the water outside and poured it out, while Chunhua placed a foot warmer at the foot of the bed.
Wang Zhixian walked to the bedside. He stood still and looked at Ali instead, saying, "Lie down."
Xinghua and Chunhua were used to it, so it was normal for Sister Yueli to warm the young master's bed.
Ah Li took off her outer robe and lay down on the inside of the bed.
Wang Zhixian then said to Xinghua and Chunhua, "You two can go down now; you don't need to guard this place anymore."
After Xinghua and Chunhua left, Wang Zhixian lay down. He didn't touch Ali; there were two hot water bottles between them.
Wang Zhixian slowly closed his eyes, and the warmth emanating from beside him dispelled the anger in his chest.
He was angry with her because, as his head maid, she had arranged for others to serve him without informing him.
I was also annoyed with her for making others do what she should be doing.
However, considering that she had gone back to take a shower and change her clothes so as to warm his bed, he was magnanimous and decided not to hold it against her.
The act of warming the bed usually means that once the bed is warm, it's time to leave.
But Wang Zhixian was lying outside the window, as if he were asleep.
To leave, you have to step over him.
Ah Li lifted the blanket slightly, and only after making sure she wouldn't disturb anyone did she slowly emerge from under it.
When she left, she was a little reluctant to go.
On such a cold day, how wonderful it would be to sleep in a warm and cozy bed.
Ali scrambled from inside the bed to the outside, and suddenly her eyes met Wang Zhixian's.
Ah Li sat down slightly. "Young Master, you're awake?"
"You woke me up."
"It's my fault, I'll go down now."
When Ah Li saw that the person was awake, she quickly got out of bed.
Wang Zhixian shifted to the inside of the bed and spoke, "Wait a minute."
Before Ahri could even put on her outer garment, she heard him say, "You sleep in front of me to block the wind."
"good."
Ah Li returned to bed, this time sleeping on the outside while Wang Zhixian slept on the inside.
The blankets beneath me were indeed not warm enough, and I felt a little cold.
It's normal for sick or weak people to have trouble keeping their beds warm.
Ah Li didn't want to bother anymore; she just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Zhixian opened his eyes. He looked at the head resting against his chest and thought, "This person is so unruly."
And what were her feet doing? Not only were they pressing down on him, but they were also rubbing against him.
This is getting increasingly outrageous!
"Moon Fox".
As soon as Wang Zhixian called out, Ali mumbled sleepily, "I just fell asleep, let me sleep a little longer."
After saying that, she rubbed her head against Wang Zhixian's chest and mumbled, "I'm so sleepy, please."
Wang Zhixian moved his arm, which was very close to her body.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the top of Ah Li's head. He originally had something to ask her: why didn't she report when the old lady talked to her that time, or did she think that he was also powerless to do so?
So I pretended nothing had happened and didn't mention it to him.
Wang Zhixian slowly raised the hand that wasn't being held down and placed it on Ah Li's face, sliding her fingers up and down her face.
Ahri noticed Wang Zhixian's movements and woke up instantly.
What is she doing!
She could feel the pressure on her legs and feet; it was a terrible thing to do.
"Young Master, you're awake. I'll get up right away."
Ali didn't dare to look at Wang Zhixian's face again. She quickly got up, got out of bed, and put on her outer robe.
Inside the stove, there was still firelight. Ahri fastened her buttons and then went over to add more charcoal.
Wang Zhixian stared at Ah Li's back; she was avoiding him, she didn't want to become his.
Wang Zhixian suddenly asked, "Yue Li, how long have you been with me?"
Ali poured herself a cup of tea, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "I came to serve the young master when he was eight years old."
"That's been about fifteen years."
"Yes, it is."
Ali brought the tea over and noticed that Wang Zhixian's fingers were very beautiful, long and slender, with distinct knuckles, and very fair.
