Chapter 2232: Spring is not too late
"Why are you sick?"
Mingchen walked to Shili and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead.
At this time, Shi Li finally reacted and did not dodge his hand. She just replied embarrassedly: "No, I'm not sick. I was just pretending."
Who would have thought that by pretending to be sick, she not only fooled the Fang family, but also tricked Mingchen into coming.
It's really embarrassing.
The warmth in his hands made Mingchen feel relieved. Seeing Shili's bright eyes, he found it funny again. He lowered his head and looked at her, "Why are you forced to pretend to be sick again?"
"They want me to work and be their housekeeper, but I don't want to." Shi Li had nothing to hide from him, so he answered truthfully.
Mingchen chuckled again.
This time, I laughed because I was too concerned.
He only heard that Shi Li was sick, and didn't care about anything else, so he thought of a way to sneak into Fang's house. Now that he knew Shi Li was faking illness, he just felt relieved and didn't care at all that he was also deceived.
He should have left immediately, but Mingchen couldn't move. Looking at Shi Li, he felt that it would be fine even if he just stood here and talked to her.
Mingchen caught a glimpse of a light on the dressing table. He turned his head and saw the hairpin he had given to Shi Li lying on the dressing table, the ruby glittering slightly in the light.
You can tell at first glance that it is often held in people's hands and played with.
Mingchen walked over, held the hairpin in his hand, and took it back.
"I've never seen you wear this before, I want to see it," he said.
Although it is against etiquette, he is already unethical enough here, so he doesn't mind being a little more unorthodox.
Shi Li had long hair that made her palm-sized face look delicate and pretty. Hearing this, her eyes fell on her buyao.
"How about you wear it for me?" She raised her head and her eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
Perhaps there was still a rebellious side hidden deep within Mingchen's mature and steady self. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and actually bent down to hold a strand of Shili's hair.
Her hands, which were used to holding a pen to write, riding a horse and wielding a sword, had a thin layer of calluses on the palms, but they were extremely flexible. She quickly tied a low bun for Shi Li and then gently inserted her hairpin into it.
They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing and even heartbeat.
Shi Li suppressed her blush, raised her hand and touched the bell under the hairpin, and asked Ming Chen, "Does it look good?"
“Not very pretty.”
Mingchen gave an unexpected answer. Seeing Shi Li's eyes widened in shock and anger, he continued, "But I like it very much."
Shi Li was amused by him and became angry at one moment and couldn't help laughing at the next. She simply turned her head away and ignored him.
The candlelight on the windowsill flickered, making the room dim and bright.
Shi Li had her back to the outside and could not hear any sound from inside the room. After a while, she thought Mingchen had left and quietly turned her head back.
As a result, Mingchen was still standing there, looking at her with amusement.
Shi Li: ...
"Do you like this bell?" Mingchen saw her repeatedly reaching out to touch the bell under the hairpin, then leaning down and moving closer.
Shi Li nodded subconsciously, "The step-shaking ornaments are beautiful, but I like the bells underneath the ornaments the most."
Mingchen laughed again, this time because the two of them were in sync with each other.
Without keeping the audience in suspense, he said directly: "There was no bell on the hairpin originally. I hung this bell there."
As they talked, the two were close to each other again.
[Where are the head-pressing gangs!!!]
[I used to think Mingchen was mature and steady, but I was wrong. This guy is the most unconventional! ]
[Who cares! I like you, I like you! It would be rude if you don’t kiss me now~]
Shi Li’s mind was also in a mess.
Although I am young here, my love is sweet. The time, place and people are right... No, the people are not right. I'm afraid Qiu Zi will be back soon.
Thinking of this, she became a little anxious and opened her mouth to ask Mingchen to leave, but unexpectedly he came closer and kissed her on the lips so calmly.
Not very deep, very shallow but lingering.
After they separated, Mingchen saw that she was still in a daze, so he reached out and covered her eyes again.
"Don't look at me anymore. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Just at this moment, Qiu Zi's footsteps and voice were heard outside the door, "Girl, I'm back."
Shi Li was startled suddenly, and seeing Mingchen put his hand down, she instead felt like watching the show, wanting to see how he was going to avoid Qiu Zi.
Her expression revealed her thoughts. Mingchen felt angry and amused at the same time. He tapped his feet in front of her and jumped onto the roof beam easily.
At the same time, Qiu Zi pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Shi Li with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a hairpin, Qiu Zi was slightly startled, "Young lady, what is this..."
Shi Li finally reacted and touched her head awkwardly, "Ah, I had nothing to do... so I combed my hair."
Qiu Zi felt that the scene before her was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it, and she didn't see anything wrong in the house.
Before I could think about it, I heard Shi Li say, "The tea is a little cold. Can you pour me another pot?"
