Jin Yu had been trained since he was a child to take over Organization C and become its successor, so he was highly sensitive to perception.
Xu Niannian’s gaze lingered on him, and he could fully sense it, so he swung the shovel even harder, striving to perform well.
Jin Yu was very fast, and in no time at all, he had cleared the yard of weeds.
Xu Niannian couldn’t help but admire his speed.
Goodness, the work he did in an hour was equivalent to what she would do in a whole day.
The temperature at noon was very high, and Jin Yu had sweat all over his face after clearing the weeds in the yard.
"All done, anything else?" Jin Yu wasn’t even out of breath, leaning on the shovel he held, he appeared in front of Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian was sitting in a chair, fanning herself with a hand fan, looking utterly relaxed, like a lazy little cat.
Seeing him covered in sweat, Xu Niannian felt somewhat guilty and handed him the fan: "Here."
Jin Yu pursed his lips and looked straight past the round fan.
Her pale, slender fingers were delicate and long, the tips shiny and slightly pinkish, holding the handle of the round fan, and Jin Yu suddenly wanted to pinch her soft fingers.
How could fingers be so pretty?
Jin Yu couldn’t help but wonder, this delicate girl really was tender and lovely all over.
Seeing him space out, Xu Niannian was about to retract the fan when Jin Yu grabbed it: "I’ll take it."
In his eagerness, he had grabbed Xu Niannian’s hand.
Her hand was very soft, and even in such hot weather, it was cool to the touch, comfortable to hold, tempting to squeeze.
With him not letting go of her hand, Xu Niannian rolled her eyes: "Let go."
Hearing her impatient tone, Jin Yu quickly withdrew his hand, taking the fan with him.
Xu Niannian was about to get up and go inside to tidy things up, as she had only cleaned her room last night due to the late hour.
Before she could stand, she suddenly felt a breeze. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on noᴠelfire.net
A cool breeze hit her face, which was very pleasant in the scorching weather.
Jin Yu was using the fan to fan her.
Xu Niannian pursed her lips and looked up at Jin Yu, their eyes met, and accidentally, Xu Niannian found herself caught in his deep and sharp gaze.
For a moment, Xu Niannian’s heartbeat quickened: "What... What are you doing?"
Seeing her frown and looking displeased, Jin Yu thought he had annoyed her again.
"Didn’t you ask me to fan you?"
"When did I ask you to fan me?"
Jin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Then why did you give me the fan?"
Alright, so much for that fleeting sense of guilt.
She snatched the fan back from his hands: "Thanks, but no need."
When retrieving the fan, she accidentally touched his scorching fingers, and Xu Niannian felt as if she had been electrocuted, she hurried back into the house.
Jin Yu was full of frustration, not understanding why she was angry again, and irritably ruffled his hair.
"Women are so difficult to please, damn it, I’m done trying to please them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Niannian, who had run into the house, come out again, her skirt billowing beautifully in the wind.
There she stood, all lively and beautiful, calling him with a soft voice and a tense face.
"Jin Yu, come help me."
"Eh, coming." Jin Yu immediately dropped the shovel, having already forgotten the tough talk he had just a second ago, and strode towards the house.
Entering the house, Jin Yu asked, "What do you need help with?"
Xu Niannian pointed to a high pile of tables and chairs in the hall: "Help me move these outside to clean them."
Jin Yu glanced over, as they hadn’t lived in this part for a while, things were all piled up. Given her slim figure that looked like it might blow away in a strong breeze, she definitely couldn’t handle them.
"Sure, leave this to me, and you go tidy up elsewhere."
