“When you get back to the city, I still need to wash my clothes.”
“Leave them here and wait for me to come back to wash them,” Zhou Hengyang replied without hesitation.
Su Wen pursed her lips and couldn’t help but smile foolishly. “Alright! I’ll follow your lead.”
After Zhou Hengyang finished washing their clothes, he leapt into the river and started to swim. The sparkling river surface was bathed in a dazzling and magnificent colour under the evening light, creating a beautiful tableau with green mountains and golden rice fields in the distance.
In this picturesque scene, the most captivating focus is the man in the river.
Su Wen sat on a large rock with one hand supporting her chin, utterly captivated. In her eyes and heart, there was the silhouette of a mermaid, lithe and powerful. The strength of his arms, waist, and long legs exuded a sense of beauty.
After a long while, Su Wen sighed. Why had she only realized it now?
In the future, as long as Hengyang came to the river to swim, she would follow.
“Wife, can you swim?” Zhou Hengyang swam to the riverbank and lay on a large rock. His black hair was wet and hung in front of his eyes, water droplets rolling on his tan-coloured skin. He looked like a god under the sunset—noble, handsome, unlike any ordinary person.
“I can’t,” Su Wen admitted. Although she knew a little, her posture wasn’t good, and she wasn’t familiar with swimming. She had learned to swim in school, but her original character didn’t know how to swim. Thus, she couldn’t claim it.
Zhou Hengyang blinked and said regretfully, “It’s autumn now. The water is too cold. I’ll teach you next summer.”
“Alright! But isn’t it inconvenient? It’s not proper for people to come and go by the river.”
“It’s okay. We’ll come at midnight.”
“What?” The image of a man and a woman bathing in the river in the middle of the night involuntarily popped into Su Wen’s mind. No matter how she thought about it, it made her blood boil!
No, she can’t think about it anymore.
Zhou Hengyang gazed at his wife with a faint smile and teased, “Wife, what are you thinking? Why is your face so red?”
“No, I’m not thinking about anything.” Su Wen hastily changed the topic.
“Hurry up. You’ve been swimming for a long time. Don’t catch a chill.”
“Okay!”
In the room, Su Xiu was examining the design of Su Qing’s painting bag. Having observed it frequently, she had gained a good understanding and offered to help Su Qing. Today, He Changming came as a guest, and after discussing their cooperation over dinner, they agreed on a new leather price.
After she visited the capital, Su Wen learned about the market leather prices and realized she had been taking advantage of He Changming.
Now that she was starting a company, fair cooperation was essential for its sustainability.
He Changming was satisfied with Su Wen’s new price, and his younger cousin couldn’t stop smiling.
Before they left, they agreed to meet in the county town the next day to inspect the shop.
A local child barged in with freshly bought candied haws, shouting, “Sister Su
Xiu, Sister Yulan is looking for you.”
Su Xiu halted her work and turned to leave the room. “Okay, I know.”
The child lingered, remembering the words of the older brother who treated him to candied haws, “Sister Yulan wants you to go now!”
“Now?”
“Yeah! Right now.”
“Alright then.” Su Xiu removed her work apron. “I’ll go now.”
“Then I’ll be leaving.” The child said he was leaving, but his legs didn’t move..
