Chapter 64

64 You’re Very Good and Also Very Impressive

In just a few seconds, Shen Yao brought over a basin of clean and warm water.

He gently wrung out the gauze and gently wiped the blood on Ji Zhao’s nose.

“Does it hurt?”

“It hurt a little the second I bumped it, but I’m much better now.” Ji Zhao smiled honestly. “Actually, you… you don’t have to be so nervous. I’ll be fine.”

“It’s all my fault,” Shen Yao blamed himself. “If I hadn’t suddenly appeared and frightened you, you wouldn’t have hurt your nose.”

“I’m really fine. You don’t have to blame yourself.” Ji Zhao comforted him gently. “On the other hand, I feel like I’ve done something wrong again…”

“Why do you say that?”

“I shouldn’t have signed that supply contract with Second Manager You without discussing it with you.” Ji Zhao seriously combed through the entire matter, only to realize that she was really too stupid. “I thought things were too simple. I thought that as long as we worked together and picked up more snails, we could exchange for more silver. I didn’t consider that the snails in Shanghe Village were public goods.”

If she couldn’t provide 50 catties of snails to Second Manager You in three days, it would definitely affect her reputation.

Ji Zhao really regretted it. She was still not very meticulous in doing business.

“You’re very good and also very impressive.” Shen Yao suddenly looked into her eyes and praised sincerely, “With this contract in your hand, I believe our Shanghe Village will become very lively.”

“What do you mean?” Ji Zhao blinked in confusion.

“You’ll know soon.” Shen Yao smiled and kept her in suspense.

Before Shen Yao left, he made sure to confirm that her nose was fine before releasing a breath.

However, when his fingertips landed on Ji Zhao’s nose, she could not help but shiver.

“You feel cold?”

“No.” Ji Zhao quickly shook her head.

It was only then that Shen Yao realized that her hair was still wet.

“Your hair is still wet. If you fall asleep like this, you’ll definitely have a headache tomorrow morning,” Shen Yao said earnestly. Then, he picked up a clean towel and carefully and gently wiped her hair.

For some reason, Ji Zhao felt that her heart was beating a little fast.

Shen Yao’s actions were very gentle. When he dried Ji Zhao’s hair, she did not feel any pain.

“Thank you.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully, but she did not dare to look into Shen Yao’s eyes.

Shen Yao’s eyes were especially deep, like stars shining in the night, making people want to sink into them.

“Good night.” Shen Yao handed her the towel in his hand, but his fingertips accidentally brushed across her palm.

After his figure completely disappeared from sight, Ji Zhao looked down at her palm.

After a while, she actually laughed aloud foolishly.

The night was quiet and beautiful.

Ji Zhao slept soundly.

The next morning, the moment she opened her eyes, the dream from last night suddenly appeared in her mind.

Involuntarily, her cheeks felt hot.

“Ah Tao? Are you awake?” In the courtyard, Zhao Lanhua felt refreshed after finishing a set of Five Animal Play. She walked to Ji Zhao’s window and called out with a smile.

“Mother.” Ji Zhao, who was already dressed, pushed open the door with a smile. “You were looking for me?”

“Mm.” Zhao Lanhua immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Go to the kitchen and get some pancakes first. Later, the two of us will go to the river to pick up snails!”
