Jiang Youzhi gave a tug on the line, and the kite soared even higher.
Yun Jiao looked up, watching that beautiful figure in the sky dancing against the wind, her heart filled with indescribable joy.
She ran over to Jiang Youzhi’s side, learning how to work the reel, and control the direction of the kite.
Nearby, Sanya and Yingzi watched with envy, but being accustod to being obedient and sensible at ho, they didn’t dare to speak.
Yun Jiao, noticing their envious glances, quickly handed the reel to Sanya.
After resting for a while, she saw Lin Shuo watching the children intently, and feeling assured, she headed towards the peach grove.
She hadn’t even enjoyed the flowers yet!
Jiang Youzhi exchanged a glance with Lin Shuo and followed Yun Jiao into the peach grove.
In the grove, the scent of light peach blossoms mingled with the rich fragrance of costics.
Yun Jiao looked up at the peach blossoms, with Jiang Youzhi a half-step behind her, their distance subtly nuanced, appearing both as one and as strangers.
At this mont, a few won approached from the front.
Their eyes, without exception, landed on Jiang Youzhi.
One of them stared at Jiang Youzhi for a while, her cheeks unknowingly flushed red.
She suddenly thrust the peach blossom branch she was holding towards Jiang Youzhi’s arms, then looked at him bashfully.
Another woman beside her, as if competing, tossed her sachet into Jiang Youzhi’s arms.
Yun Jiao, seeing these bold acts, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
She turned to glance at Jiang Youzhi and saw him expressionlessly step back, the peach blossom branch and sachet both falling to the ground.
The two girls, not angered, stole one last glance at Jiang Youzhi before strolling to the side.
After they left, Yun Jiao turned back with a smile, "San Lang, you really are—so oblivious to romance."
Jiang Youzhi changed the topic, "Shall I pick a peach blossom for you?"
Yun Jiao looked at the peach blossoms on the branch and shook her head, "Better not pick them, if everyone picks, there’ll be nothing left for the later visitors."
As they were speaking, a voice suddenly ca from the side, "Brother Jiang? Youzhi?"
Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao turned simultaneously to see Zheng Juren standing not far off, looking astonished with his servant.
Yun Jiao had so recollection of this man; he seed to be a classmate of San Lang’s and had visited their ho before.
She pondered, nodded slightly to Zheng Juren, then stepped forward.
Jiang Youzhi glanced in the direction Yun Jiao left, then cupped his hands toward Zheng Juren, "What brings you here, Brother Zheng?"
Zheng Juren examined him up and down, "That’s exactly what I wanted to ask, how co you’re in Xiang City?"
"And your leg?"
Jiang Youzhi knew it was too late to feign a limp now.
So he casually replied, "My leg is almost healed."
"Brother Zheng, have you moved to Xiang City now?"
Zheng Juren’s eyes flickered, "I’m here to take care of so matters."
"And you, Brother Jiang?"
"As for , naturally I’m here to pursue my studies."
Zheng Juren raised his brows high, "Brother Jiang, have you already entered Yuelu Academy?"
Jiang Youzhi nodded.
This matter wouldn’t be a secret as long as Zheng Juren went to Yuelu Academy to inquire, so he thought it better to be honest.
Zheng Juren suddenly laughed exaggeratedly, "Ah, congratulations Brother Jiang, felicitations!"
"Brother Jiang, being already so talented, now that you’ve joined Yuelu Academy, you will surely excel in the imperial exams."
Jiang Youzhi shook his head and sighed, "Brother Zheng, we’ve been in a small town for so long, unaware of the hidden talents in Yuelu Academy."
"Now at the academy, I’m barely managing to rank in the B class, the imperial examination might be challenging for ."
