147 A Little
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ji Zhao silently took the handkerchief from Shen Yao and gently wiped the corner of her lips.
“Better?”
“Yes, yes. I’m fine.” Ji Zhao smiled awkwardly.
Only then did Shen Yao feel relieved. He brought over the bowl of wontons in front of Ji Zhao and gently blew on it. After a while, he pushed it in front of her again. “It’s not hot anymore.”
“Thank you.” Ji Zhao narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and smiled sweetly.
Qin Minghong, who witnessed this scene, suddenly felt his teeth ache.
“Young Master Qin, are you not used to it?” Shen Yao keenly caught the twitching of Qin Minghong’s lips and said with ‘concern’, “If you’re not used to it, don’t force yourself.”
“I think this chicken soup wonton is really good.” Qin Minghong had a polite smile on his face. “Miss Ji, the dessert you presented at the Ma residence was really delicious.”
“Young Master Qin, are you referring to Double Skin Milk?”
“Yes.” Qin Minghong nodded and said softly, “Actually, my mother likes dessert very much. I wonder if I can trouble Miss Ji to make another double skin milk?”
“In two days.” Ji Zhao agreed readily. “In two days, Young Master Qin can come to our eldest brother’s shop. At that time, the shop will sell double-skinned milk.”
“…Alright.” Qin Minghong originally wanted to invite Ji Zhao to his residence as a guest.
But now was not the right time.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Ji. I’ll take my leave first.”
Qin Minghong stood up and left. Ji Zhao smiled and sent him off. After a moment, her gaze landed on Shen Yao’s face again.
“What’s wrong?” Sensing her gaze, Shen Yao smiled curiously.
“Shen Yao, are you jealous?” Ji Zhao rested her chin on her hands and looked into his eyes with a smile as she asked curiously.
“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded calmly. “A little.”
Hearing him admit to being jealous, the smile in Ji Zhao’s eyes deepened.
“Why are you smiling so happily?”
Infected by her emotions, Shen Yao could not help but smile.
“You’re jealous, which means that you care about me very much.” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows arrogantly, and there was a hint of smugness in her charming smile. “I’m very happy.”
Shen Yao held his forehead helplessly.
After paying the money, the two of them held hands and strolled in the sunset.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived near the three-hole bridge.
The willows on both sides of the Qing River swayed in the wind and danced gracefully. There were all kinds of pedestrians on the bridge. On the bridge, boatmen wearing bamboo hats and holding bamboo poles were rowing slowly.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the river, causing golden ripples to appear on the sparkling river.
“It’s so beautiful.” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but sigh.
The scenery in front of her was really too beautiful. It was intoxicating.
Closing her eyes, the feeling of the autumn wind blowing on her face was extremely comfortable.
Shen Yao looked at her side profile, his eyes filled with gentle affection.
“Indeed very beautiful.” Shen Yao nodded slightly and agreed with a smile.
The sun set in the west and night fell quietly.
“It’s done!” In the kitchen, Ji Zhao said with a smile, “Shen Yao, come and try this red bean double skin milk!”
Shen Yao, who was watching the fire in front of the stove, immediately stood up and walked to her side.
Ji Zhao eagerly scooped up a spoonful of double-skinned milk and brought it to his lips. She smiled expectantly. “Try it?”
At this moment, the distance between them was very close.
Shen Yao could even see her long eyelashes that were like butterfly wings flickering. She was extremely cute.
His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly moved closer to her cheek—
