Chapter 321 Young Hero
Lin Jiaojiao came to the small garden alone, ready to see how the water lilies and koi that had been transplanted half a month ago were doing. She also brought a small bag of fish food to feed them.
As soon as she approached, she saw a figure in the pavilion. She wanted to leave quietly to avoid suspicion, but Zhu Xue had already turned his head to look at her when he heard the footsteps.
If she leaves now, she will seem too guilty.
She nodded calmly towards Zhu Xue and walked forward. Because Jiang Huai was wearing a veil, she couldn't see clearly whether he saw her or not. She adjusted her expression, smiled and calmly handed over the fish food in her hand.
"Cousin, do you need fish food?"
Jiang Huai was a little absent-minded to begin with, and only when her voice sounded did he look up and find that she had come to him.
He stared blankly at the bag of fish food in her hand, then he came to his senses and looked up at her smiling face.
"Your smile is so ugly."
Lin Jiaojiao's smile froze in an instant. She didn't know whether she should laugh or not. After all, she had agreed not to hit someone who smiles!
Jiang Huai was amused by her funny expression. He reached out to take the bag of fish food from her hand, turned sideways and threw the fish food into the pond. Soon, colorful koi swam over and opened their mouths to eat the food.
When she heard his laughter, she thought to herself that the laughter of fairies was indeed so beautiful.
As soon as she finished saying this, she froze with a look of deep regret on her face.
Lin Jiaojiao is so confused.
How can you be so superficial now!
"If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself."
"Eh?"
When she heard his words, she immediately became interested. Was her smile really fake?
"Cousin, how do you know if I don't want to laugh?"
Jiang Huai continued to throw fish food, and the cool sound slowly came, adding a touch of coolness to this hot summer day.
"You treat Zhuxue better than me. You are afraid that if you have too much contact with me, they will think too much. Now you come to the pavilion and bring fish food, which means you are here to feed the fish. It just happens that I am here, so you have no choice but to come here."
Zhuxue was shocked. How could he eat his own head while eating the melon?
But heaven and earth are witnesses that he has no feelings towards Lin Jiaojiao at all. At most, he is grateful to her because she is a very nice person and never treats them as inferiors.
Lin Jiaojiao was also shocked. She was so uncomfortable with Jiang Huai's sudden straight hit that she was speechless for a moment.
She didn't know how to explain it. In fact, she was very nice to everyone in her family, except Jiang Huai.
She must have known about the rumors in the village. In fact, she felt relieved when Jiang Huai returned to Qingzhou for the first time. She didn't think he lived in her house because he liked her, but she didn't know why.
So he brought his luggage and came to live permanently for the second time, along with his stepmother's letter. She really believed the reasons for the turmoil in the court, but she still kept her distance. After all, Jiang Huai was still an unmarried man.
But as time went by, Jiang Huai seemed to be forgotten here. No one came to pick him up, and no one at home mentioned it, so she didn't dare to mention it either.
As for why she didn't dare to be nice to him, it was because she felt guilty. She admitted that she had some special feelings for him and was afraid that if they stayed together for too long, they would fall in love.
She is a face lover and she is guilty.
"Boss! Boss!"
When she heard Lin Dadan's shouting from the hall in front of her, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and turned around and replied towards the hall.
"I'm coming!"
Then he turned back and apologized to Jiang Huai: "Don't think too much, cousin. This smile is just a polite smile, not a forced smile to you. Aunt Lin asked me to go over first. I really don't mean anything else. Don't think too much!"
As she spoke, she backed away, until after she said the last sentence, she turned around and ran away in shame.
When Zhu Xue and the others could no longer see her, they immediately knelt down and tried to distance themselves from Lin Jiaojiao, fearing that his young master would misunderstand them.
"Master, I really have no feelings for Miss Lin. I don't know why she is so good to me. No, she is good to Tongfu and the others. I dare not even think about Miss Lin, Master..."
"Get up, I don't blame you for being nice to you, she just doesn't want to be nice to me."
Zhu Xue stood up and continued to fan him, and he immediately comforted his poor master's lost voice.
"In fact, I think Miss Lin is also good to the young master. Many times when there are delicious food and fun things, I think most of them are given to the young master by Miss Lin in the name of Sanfulang. Of course, this is just my guess, because once I saw Miss Lin give the painting collection she brought back from the city to Sanfulang, and then she called me over and said that it was Sanfulang who gave it to the young master."
Jiang Huai was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that the collection of paintings was indeed the works of his favorite painter. It seemed that one day he and Fu Qiu were painting in the studio and talked about the topic of painters. Lin Jiaojiao happened to come in and joined the topic.
At that time, he didn't say that he liked the painter's paintings, but just said that the painter's painting skills and rendering techniques were very good.
I didn't expect she would remember it.
He slowly tightened the bag of fish food in his hand, staring at the fish below that kept opening their mouths waiting to be fed. His eyes gradually became clear and bright, as if the haze in his eyes had dissipated in an instant.
He was in the wrong track.
Lin Jiaojiao came to the hall. Lin Dadan was respectfully receiving the guests in front. When Qiu Xilan saw her coming, she immediately took small steps to her side and spoke in a low voice.
"Boss, you have a great network of contacts. Even the county magistrate has come to show his support."
Lin Jiaojiao was full of questions. She seldom came to Jiyun, so how could she possibly know the big shots here?
"I don't know him. Maybe he's here to eat."
Qiu Xilan immediately gave her a look that said "just pretend" and pursed her lips to signal her to look at the distinguished guest.
"The young lady specifically asked you to come to her. The age range of your friends is quite wide."
She leaned over to look puzzledly, but before she could see these distinguished guests clearly, Lin Dadan turned around, met her eyes, and immediately waved to her to come over.
She immediately put on a kind smile and walked over generously. When she got closer, she saw the little girl next to the distinguished guest waving at her.
Her eyes widened at this sight. Although the girl in front of her was dressed much more luxuriously and didn't look dirty, she still hadn't forgotten that face.
"Young man?"
When Yu Wanru heard this affectionate address again, her eyes lit up, she raised her chin, clasped her hands across her chest, and spoke coldly, pretending to be a big boss.
"it's me."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the naughty little girl, and secretly glanced at the stern-faced woman in brocade clothes beside her. It seemed that her child's rebellious period had indeed come a little early.
She retracted her gaze and bowed to the woman in brocade clothes, saying, "Lin only realized today that it was you who helped me last time. I am really grateful."
Before she could finish, Yu Wanru refused to listen, "It was clearly me who helped you last time, you thanked the wrong person!"
Lin Jiaojiao immediately said calmly: "Yes, yes, yes, Lin is also very grateful for the help of the young master. I said I would treat you to a meal last time but failed. This time, the young master, please do me the honor."
"Okay..."
The corners of Yu Wanru's mouth curled up immediately, and she was about to agree when she was interrupted by a stern voice beside her.
"Wan Ru."
