It turned out that Jiang Rui was riding a bicycle in the yard just now. Seeing Nanny Li’s granddaughter watching her eagerly, she simply taught her to ride.
One of them stepped on the pedals tremblingly, while the other held onto the seat at the back. They stumbled and swayed while laughing.
After a while, Nanny Li looked for her little granddaughter and saw that she had bumped into the owner’s bicycle, so she came over to laugh with her and took her away.
Jiang Rui pedaled two laps alone and felt bored. She turned her head around and saw Huo Changyao sitting in the pergola, so she waved to him, “Big Brother, you are taking a walk too!”
Huo Changyao nodded slightly, thinking that she would come over, but after she waved her hand, she pushed her bicycle into the house.
The weather was hot and sticky, so Jiang Rui went back to her room to take a bath.
This afternoon, she received an invitation from a friend of Pan Susu to go to the theater tomorrow. Jiang Rui wasn’t planning to go at first, but after another thought, she hadn’t visited the theater in the Republic of China. She had never seen the demeanor of the famous artists here. More importantly, she hadn’t bought anything in the shops, restaurants, or department stores, so she agreed.
When she came out of the shower, the people sent by Wang Shi invited her to rest in Huo Changyao’s room.
In the past, Pan Susu used to wear only a suspender skirt made of silk when sleeping. Jiang Rui also felt that it was cool to wear that, but when she slept at Huo Changyao’s place these two nights, she could only find long-sleeved pants and change into them.
It was quite early now, fearing that it would be difficult to pass the time, so she took a book from the bookshelf before going out with the servant.
Huo Changyao had already returned upstairs and had taken a shower. At this time, he was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand.
Probably once acquainted and twice cooked. After last night, the two of them are sitting opposite each other, at least not as dry as before.
“Big Brother.” Jiang Rui greeted.
Huo Changyao nodded, saw the book in her hand, and asked casually: “What books do you read?”
“Legend storybook, just take a look.” Jiang Rui sat down on another sofa.
Although she did not speak, there were more individuals in his private territory. As long as there was a little movement, it would be difficult for people to ignore it. Moreover, Huo Changyao always felt that the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of her body, which was the same as the smell she left on his bed this morning. He knew that it should be the smell of soap, but using the same soap on her body and using it on himself, for some reason, the scent was not the same.
It took him some time to gradually adapt to the current situation, ignoring the slight noise, and focusing on the book in his hand again.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Rui yawned.
Huo Changyao noticed and said, “Go to sleep, you don’t have to wake up so early tomorrow.”
Jiang Rui rubbed her eyes and wiped away her tears, “Big Brother, let me sleep on the sofa today. I am short and the sofa is enough to sleep on.”
Huo Changyao gestured to the closet with his chin, “Old Sixth sent the camp bed just now.”
“Really?” Jiang Rui raised her eyebrows, ran to the cabinet, and opened a small gap to take a look. Sure enough, she saw an army green cloth bag inside. She dragged the camp bed out of the closet and tried to open it.
“Leave it for a while, I’ll do it later.” Huo Changyao said.
Jiang Rui was eager to try: “Big Brother, let me sleep on the camp bed, I haven’t slept on it yet.”
“It’s not a fun thing.” Huo Changyao stood up, took the things in her hands, assembled them into a bed in a few strokes, pressed the bed cloth, and said, “This bed is too soft. You can’t sleep well. Get on the bed.”
Jiang Rui also stretched out her hand and pressed it. It was indeed soft, “Then, Big Brother, did you sleep well?”
“I am used to sleeping on it.”
Jiang Rui did not say much anymore and got him a quilt before going to sleep.
Tonight, Huo Changyao slept more peacefully than before.
Jiang Rui woke up immediately. The sky was just a little bit bright. She was preparing to get up and put Huo Changyao on the bed. Suddenly, she noticed an almost inaudible footstep coming from the corridor. After distinguishing it, she immediately lifted the quilt and jumped up, shaking Huo Changyao awake.
“Big Brother, I seem to have heard Nanny Lin’s footsteps, you should go to bed and sleep.”
After sleeping all night, her pajamas were unfurled, but she did not notice when she was in a hurry. When she leaned over and swayed, the white skin on her chest was faintly visible.
Huo Changyao opened his eyes, happened to see that spot, and immediately moved away.
Seeing that he was not moving, Jiang Rui hurriedly said in a low voice, “Big Brother, get up!”
At the same time, there was a knock on the door outside: “Master, Madam, are you awake?”
Jiang Rui did not answer, and when she knocked for the second time, she pretended to have just woken up, “Get up, Nanny Lin, wait a minute!”
Huo Changyao stood up in silence, quickly put the bed away, and stuffed it into the cabinet.
“Lie down quickly, lie down quickly.” Jiang Rui pushed him onto the bed, messed up the bed on the other side, and turned to open the door.
“Xiao Qi.” Huo Changyao suddenly stopped her.
“What?” Jiang Rui had already walked to the door.
Huo Changyao’s complexion was calm, but his tone was slightly stiff, “The buttons are unfastened.”
After speaking, he lay down under the quilt. His whole body was instantly surrounded by the warm breath of the young woman.
He stiffened his body, thinking to himself that he must make Old Sixth move faster.
