Yun Jiao stretched out her hand, yet Jiang Youzhi didn’t co to take the box as expected. She looked up at him, "What, you don’t want it?"
Jiang Youzhi replied slowly, "Of course I do."
He retreated a few steps, "Co in and open it for , and besides, how do you use this thing? Demonstrate for ."
Yun Jiao didn’t think much about it for a mont, would Jiang Youzhi’s intelligence really need her to demonstrate?
She stepped in and placed the box on the table.
Just as she was about to open it, she said, "You better open it yourself, it feels more ceremonial that way."
Jiang Youzhi rembered this new term and soon grasped its aning. Calmly approaching her, he slowly opened the box.
Once the box was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out, and the pink petals conveyed a soft romantic atmosphere.
Jiang Youzhi’s eyes lit up.
Indeed, this was the kind of unique gift he had hoped soone would thoughtfully prepare for him.
The thought of her putting effort into preparing these made his heart overflow with joy.
He picked up a small porcelain bottle and turned to Yun Jiao, his face showing a tender smile, "How do you use this?"
Yun Jiao looked up at him, her small mouth involuntarily opened. Jiang Youzhi, handso as he was, with that killing smile of indulgence, dressed so lightly; it was practically lethal.
Her heart suddenly began to race chaotically.
The attraction was too enticing; her girlish heart was almost unable to resist.
She took a step back, pulling so distance between her and Jiang Youzhi, and stamred, "Just, just open the cap and apply it on your body."
"I-I have to go, I have sothing to do."
She hurriedly walked out.
Jiang Youzhi was about to reach out to catch her when Mrs. Chen’s voice ca from outside, "Jiao Jiao, where’s the flower dew you ntioned for repelling mosquitoes? I want to apply so on Sanya."
Jiang Youzhi’s hand paused in mid-air, watching helplessly as Yun Jiao left.
He felt a bit frustrated; it seed that he was just a little short...
Jiang Youzhi himself wasn’t sure what he was about to achieve; all he knew was that it felt so close, yet so far.
The next day, Jiang Youzhi didn’t go to the academy.
Early in the morning, he was already wearing a gauze robe and strolling in the courtyard.
First, Mrs. Chen looked at him with a big grin, "I told you, you look good wearing this."
Then, Mrs. Li kept glancing at him.
Even sister Hua, who ca out to pour water, stared at him for quite a while.
Jiang Youzhi found it hard to stand it, yet the person who should be here hadn’t co out.
After a good while, Yun Jiao ca out from the house.
Maybe because she had seen it closely last night, she had developed so immunity today.
She barely glanced at Jiang Youzhi before averting her gaze.
anwhile, the other won in the courtyard, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li, were still staring at Jiang Youzhi.
Even Sanya and Yingzi couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Jiang Youzhi felt that sothing was not right.
He hadn’t worn this outfit for them to see; unfortunately, those who should look didn’t, and those who shouldn’t were looking.
He quickly went back to his room to change out of the robe and into a normal gown. Mrs. Chen glanced at him once and left.
Mrs. Li gave him a look and went inside.
Sanya and Yingzi went off to play shuttlecock.
Jiang Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief; finally, everyone seed normal.
Today, Yun Jiao didn’t have any consultations, nor did she have any appointnts.
The courtyard at the back had already been renovated, and they’d arranged to move there today.
After breakfast, Shen Qing called for so porters who arrived soon after.
They began moving so furniture and bedding into the back courtyard.
