Chapter 236 Going directly to Shen Family Restaurant
Mr. Shen stood there, holding a bowl of wontons that had just been cooked in the kitchen. He hadn't missed the doting look in Ji Lingfeng's eyes or his slightly reddened ears.
It seems that General Ji is fond of his daughter.
Judging from Cao'er's attitude, she doesn't seem to have any such intention.
It's also possible that the grass is too young to understand the feelings between men and women.
In his heart, he felt that his daughter, Cao'er, was more than a match for General Ji, but when it came to his daughter's affairs, he preferred to follow her opinion.
Even if this person is a famous general, it won't work.
After breakfast, they ran into Shen Wan and the others, who had just gotten up.
"Sister, why are you dressed as a man?" She yawned and looked Shen Cao up and down.
"However, my elder sister looks quite handsome in men's clothing, like a pale-faced scholar from a book!"
Seeing that Shen Cao and Ji Lingfeng were about to leave, she quickly asked, "Sister, didn't you say you would learn kung fu with us yesterday? Where are you?"
Shen Cao looked at Ji Lingfeng somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I'm not going with you guys." She gestured for Ji Lingfeng to continue.
Ji Lingfeng also spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Well, your older sister's situation is different from yours. She's too old to be with you."
Shen Cao [...] Thank you so much!
She's only fifteen this year!
If we're talking about old age, she thinks Ji Lingfeng is the old one. Oh right, she forgot to ask Ji Lingfeng's age.
He looks mature and experienced; he must be around twenty-five or twenty-six!
Ji Lingfeng [...] Thank you!
He's only twenty-two years old!
For some reason, neither of them tacitly told the other about the place that only the two of them knew.
An hour later, Shen Cao sat on the ground, covered in sweat and aching all over.
It's already the end of February, and the weather is sunny and cloudless today. The sunlight falls on Shen Cao, making her feel warm and cozy.
It was a little cold under her bottom, but she was so tired that she didn't want to move a single toe.
She hadn't expected her physical condition to have deteriorated so much. She had only run less than ten laps around the open space. Ji Lingfeng hadn't even forced her to run a certain number of laps or to squat in a horse stance for a certain amount of time.
Seeing that she couldn't run anymore and couldn't squat in a horse stance, he taught her a few simple moves.
After Ji Lingfeng finished his morning practice, he saw Shen Cao sitting on the ground resting from afar.
Just then, the morning sunlight shone on her face, making her cheeks rosy from exercise, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down her hair.
He was mesmerized, as if she were a fairy coming against the light.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had already walked up to Shen Cao.
He noticed that she moved, shifted her position.
He squatted down without making a sound, touched the ground with his hand, and felt how cold it was.
No wonder the little girl had to move around after sitting for a while.
He first handed over the towel he had prepared, saying, "Wipe your sweat. Although the sun is out, this place is right in the wind, so be careful not to catch a cold if you get chilled."
Shen Cao was surprised that he had made preparations. She had just been thinking that she must bring a towel and a water bottle to drink water tomorrow.
She took the towel he handed her and wiped the sweat from her face.
He then handed over the water bag, saying, "Have some water."
I didn't expect him to have even prepared water.
Shen Cao didn't stand on ceremony with him, picked up the water, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
The water temperature is just right now; it's obvious that the water was boiled early this morning, and now it's cooled to the perfect temperature.
But why did he prepare a water bag? Shen Cao saw him take the water bag she had just drunk from and then tilt his head back to drink.
This……
He tilted his head back and finished drinking, then wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with his hand, looking at Shen Cao with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
Shen Cao waved her hand vigorously, "No...it's nothing!" Her voice stammered.
He looked at the girl's slightly flushed face and chuckled to himself, thinking, "Not bad, this is a good sign."
Shen Cao felt her face was burning up; she touched her face and it was hot.
It's still a bit hot.
She got up to find a different spot; although the sun was shining brightly, the ground was still a bit cold after sitting for a while.
But after she got up, she saw Ji Lingfeng take off his coat, fold it, and put it on the ground.
Then he turned around and said, "It's still a bit cold on the ground. You'll catch a cold if you sit for too long." Pointing to his clothes, he said, "Why don't you sit on my clothes?"
Shen Cao looked at the black clothes folded into squares on the ground. Those were his clothes, and he was supposed to sit on them.
Her face flushed red instantly, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
She quickly waved her hand, "No, I've rested enough, I'll just stand for a while." After saying that, she walked a few steps away as if fleeing, afraid that Ji Lingfeng would notice her flushed face.
Ji Lingfeng watched the retreating figure, then looked down at his clothes, raised an eyebrow, and realized he shouldn't rush things.
After sending Shen Cao back, Ji Lingfeng instructed He Yu behind him, "Prepare a thick, soft cushion for tomorrow."
Four days later, in the evening...
A sliver of sunlight still lingered on the horizon, the daylight seeming to vanish in an instant. Outside the city gate of Xin'an County, a carriage stopped.
Wanyue lifted the curtains, looked at the familiar words on the city gate, and at the familiar scenery around her. A genuine joy appeared on her tired face.
We've finally arrived!
"Quickly, go straight to Shen's Restaurant."
She hasn't had a proper meal in days; the food she's had is nowhere near as good as what Sister Cao'er makes.
She kept thinking about how soon she would arrive, and she was unwilling to compromise herself at all, so she only ate a few bites at each meal.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Shen's Restaurant, before it had even come to a complete stop, she dragged her already weak body, barely clinging to life, and jumped off the carriage.
She ran towards the door, shouting with great energy, "Sister Cao'er, I'm back!!! I want chicken soup wontons, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and..."
Wei Siyu looked down at her empty hands. Just an hour ago, the person had been acting weak and helpless, making her serve water and snacks.
He was worried that she wouldn't be able to get up, so he reached out to help her.
Unexpectedly, she didn't need his help at all, and was even more energetic than him.
He chuckled softly and rubbed his legs, which he had curled up the whole way out of fear of bumping into her.
Believe it or not, it would have been better if I hadn't rubbed it. Once I did, my legs felt numb, like they were being pricked by countless needles.
After a while, I finally felt relieved.
He slowly stepped down from the carriage, and the coachman helped him down to his feet.
He handed the coachman some loose silver and said, "Go find a place to eat, and then go to the Wei residence. Tell Uncle Wei that I've arrived and will be back later."
The coachman nodded, put away the silver, and drove the carriage away.
Aunts Green Willow and Green Calyx also got off from the carriage behind them.
The two aunts first greeted Wei Siyu, saying, "Thank you for taking care of the princess all the way, Young Master Wei!"
Wei Siyu waved her hand, "You're too kind, aunts. Let's go inside and get something to eat!"
