Chapter 39 Summer Resort
Xia Yanjing looked up at the Chinese-style building in front of him. There were four big words "Qingfeng Villa" written on it. Xia Yanjing's expectations were still quite high.
The accompanying servant stepped forward and opened the door. Looking up, he saw that the entire villa had been kept in perfect order. The bluestone road was swept clean, and there were a few bits of newly fallen moss embedded in the cracks, which felt cool and moist when stepped on.
The sight swept across the scattered pavilions and waterside terraces. The lotus patterns carved on the eaves and corners were coated with a soft light by the sunlight. Several strings of dried mugwort were hung under the vermilion pillars. They swayed gently in the wind, emitting a bitter and soothing fragrance.
In the pond in the center of the villa, several pink and white lotus flowers are standing tall, waiting to bloom. The pond is full of lotus leaves, and the surface of the pond is almost covered by lotus leaves, which are crowded together, like countless open green umbrellas, or like layers of green clouds.
I saw a few red carps swimming by with their tails wagging, injecting vitality into the pond. The water in the pond is living water, which is drawn down from the mountain and flows gently. This summer scene made me feel that the heat from the journey was mostly dissipated in an instant.
Shengxia and Sheng Yuan have become accustomed to it. Although this scene can often be seen in modern times, it is usually in parks. Xia Yanjing has never seen a building built halfway up the mountain.
"Xia Xia, it's so beautiful here." Xia Yanjing said sincerely.
"If you like, we can stay for two more days after we go back to our parents' home in two days." Shengxia suggested seeing that Xia Yanjing liked it.
"Okay, then we'll come together to accompany our brother-in-law." Xia Yanjing responded quickly. There was no need to be polite with his wife.
Xia Yanjing took the initiative to take over the job of pushing the wheelchair. It was almost evening, and there was a gentle breeze by the pond, which felt very comfortable. The three of them sat under the pavilion by the pond and looked at the beautiful scenery together.
Living in the mountains, Xia Yanjing not only did not feel hot at night, but felt a slight coolness. This temperature was just right for exercise. Xia Yanjing felt that he could not be lazy anymore.
At night, Xia Yanjing, who originally didn't plan to cover himself with a quilt to sleep, still covered himself with the quilt honestly. The temperature difference was really big. I guess it should be no problem for my brother-in-law to recuperate here.
At this time, Shengxia was sitting in Sheng Yuan's room chatting. Sheng Yuan asked Shengxia to find out what happened to Wei Yang four years ago and how Wei Yang was doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion now.
Sheng Xia naturally knew that Sheng Yuan still had Wei Yang in his heart, so he naturally would not refuse and agreed to Sheng Yuan's request.
After Shengxia returned to the room, Xia Yanjing was lying on the bed pretending to sleep and waiting for Shengxia to come back. There was no quilt on the couch, and Xia Yanjing thought that Shengxia might go to bed.
Unfortunately, Xia Yanjing's expectation was not fulfilled. Shengxia slept with his clothes on. People who practice martial arts have strong firepower, so Shengxia didn't feel cold at all in this temperature.
Xia Yanjing pulled the quilt and bit it angrily. Why didn't his wife still want to sleep in the same bed with him? She was too tired yesterday. Why didn't she come over today? Xia Yanjing thought sadly.
Shengxia's refusal was so obvious that Xia Yanjing would not force her. He would wait until the day when Shengxia was willing. The temperature in the room gradually dropped. Xia Yanjing thought that Shengxia might have fallen asleep, so he got up and covered Shengxia with the quilt.
Shengxia didn't react during the whole action, so Xia Yanjing bravely stood by the bed and secretly looked at Shengxia's sleeping face. He was so handsome even when he was asleep.
In fact, Shengxia was not asleep at all. As a martial artist, he heard all of Xia Yanjing's little movements, although he didn't quite understand why.
But Xia Yanjing felt a little embarrassed staring at him, so he pretended to turn over. When Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia move, he was so scared that he immediately squatted down and hugged his head. Fortunately, Shengxia turned over, and Xia Yanjing secretly returned to the bed.
Xia Yanjing, lying on the bed, was still in shock. Fortunately, Shengxia just turned over, otherwise he might have been regarded as a pervert.
Xia Yanjing felt that he could not go on like this. If he wanted to win Shengxia's heart, he had to do something. If he could help Shengxia where she needed help most, Shengxia would surely like him more.
But Shengxia has returned triumphantly now, and he is just an ordinary bastard's son. What can he do to help Shengxia?
Xia Yanjing thought about it from every angle, and then he realized that he could start with his elder brother-in-law. Xia Xia valued his elder brother-in-law so much, and if he could help his elder brother-in-law heal his leg, Xia Xia would surely remember his kindness.
To capture a man's heart, you have to start by capturing his stomach. Xia Yanjing plans to take a two-pronged approach and fill Shengxia's life with his presence. Once Shengxia gets used to his presence, he might be able to win her heart soon.
Xia Yanjing thought about a lot of things and finally fell asleep in a happy mood.
The next morning, Shengxia got up as usual to exercise, and Xia Yanjing was also awakened by the birdsong around the villa. Looking at the energetic Shengxia, Xia Yanjing felt very happy.
After everything was packed up, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened last night. They came to the main hall where breakfast was already prepared. Xia Yanjing silently observed his brother-in-law to see if there was anything he needed help with.
After observing for a long time, he couldn't help at all. Alas, he didn't know where to start if he wanted to perform in front of Shengxia.
Xia Yanjing, who had been depressed for the whole morning, suddenly felt the temperature getting higher and higher. From being bearable at the beginning, he had to fan himself with a fan later.
Xia Yanjing thought of his brother-in-law's legs. Even though the temperature difference between day and night was large in the mountains, it was so hot at noon in early summer that the chance of infection would probably be greatly increased.
Xia Yanjing thought of ice. Having ice would be like having a natural air conditioner. He could then send someone to fan the cool air from the ice around, and the temperature of the entire room would drop quickly.
Xia Yanjing felt that he was really stupid. How could he forget about this? If he could make a lot of ice, his brother-in-law would get through this hot summer smoothly. I believe Xia Xia must be thinking about his kindness.
Thinking of this, Xia Yanjing could no longer sit still. Walking on the corridor, Xia Yanjing happened to see Shengxia standing in the open space outside the kitchen, wondering what she was busy with.
Xia Yanjing turned around and walked towards Shengxia. Shengxia had left earlier after dinner, and he didn't expect her to come here. Xia Yanjing walked towards Shengxia quickly.
"Xia Xia, what are you busy with?" Xia Yanjing approached and saw a group of people digging a hole, feeling a little puzzled.
"I'm digging an ice cellar. If my brother's legs want to stay safe this summer, the summer resort alone is far from enough." Shengxia explained with a frown.
The idea in Xia Yanjing's mind was strangled in the cradle by Sheng Xia's words. He forgot that a wealthy family like the Sheng family would not have ice in winter. Alas, he took it for granted.
