Dui'er leaned closer to Shen Zhiyi and whispered, "Miss, I've found the storybook you requested."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up.
She released Qingyuan's hand and said, "Go back to your room and see if you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, have the craftsmen change it while they are still here."
"I'll be right back."
She turned and went to the study.
Shen Zhiyi spent most of the day reading through storybooks, but she didn't have much patience for those sentimental and messy love stories.
What she needed was a way to quickly make Qingyuan fall in love with her.
She flipped through a few more books.
Finally, my gaze settled on a line of text—
A hero saves a damsel in distress.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
That's a great way to get people hooked quickly!
If men can be heroes who save damsels in distress, why can't she be the one to save the hero?
At that time, Qingyuan will definitely be deeply moved and fall in love with her quickly!
Shen Zhiyi closed the storybook.
"Dui'er, the Lantern Festival is in two days. Can you help me rent a boat?"
"I want to take Qingyuan boating on the lake!"
"Huh?" Dui'er said dejectedly, "Such a good opportunity to meet a man, Miss, you actually want to travel with a fish..."
Shen Zhiyi's lips twitched.
"What are you saying?"
She said, "I'm doing this for the Shen family."
"What are men anyway?"
If she were to marry in this lifetime, she would only marry Jin Yuanbao.
She beckoned Dui'er to come closer.
"Then you'll help me..."
Dui'er's eyes widened.
"Miss, this is too risky!"
Shen Zhiyi waved her hand, "It's alright, you can go and prepare."
Dui'er looked worried.
However, he still curtsied and left.
Shen Zhiyi tidied up briefly and went to her room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qingyuan sitting by the cold spring, looking at the pool of clear water that had just gushed out, lost in thought.
"Where are the craftsmen?"
Shen Zhiyi looked around and asked curiously.
Qingyuan paused for a moment, his eyelashes drooping slightly. "I let them all leave."
Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to sit down, she suddenly leaned closer and asked, "What happened to your face?"
"Why is it so popular?"
Qingyuan suddenly stood up, took a step back in a fluster, and turned around to avoid her gaze and touch.
"nothing."
"Perhaps it was steamed by the heat."
"Hot water?" Shen Zhiyi reached out and touched the spring water.
Isn't it cold?
She glanced at Qingyuan with a strange look.
Could it be that mermaids are naturally fond of cold? Ordinary coolness is still considered warm to them?
She tilted her head in confusion and shook her hand.
Qingyuan's peripheral vision touched her fingertips.
Her slender, jade-like fingers parted the water's surface, creating a large ripple.
The water droplets fell one by one along her translucent pink fingertips, making his heart tremble.
Then, those damp fingertips were wrapped in a silk handkerchief.
Wipe it little by little, back and forth.
His ears turned even redder.
I suddenly closed my eyes, cutting off my line of sight.
Just now, as soon as he entered the room, the craftsmen who repaired the cold spring excitedly introduced him to the secrets beneath the cold spring.
He even said that if he wanted to win Shen Zhiyi's heart, he should do this and that...
Those absurd statements...
What do you take him for?
What does she want him to do by having them repair the cold spring like this?
Could it be...?
Is this the kind of gratitude she's been hoping for?
Qingyuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he turned his head away from the cold spring.
Shen Zhiyi, however, excitedly lay down by the spring.
"I never imagined that these designs, once put into practice, would be exactly the same as those on the blueprints."
"Even this little rocking horse is so suitable."
She turned her head and looked at Qingyuan with great interest, "Hey, you didn't ask them to change it, do you also like the design of this cold spring?"
Qingyuan's neck turned red.
"Who likes it?!"
