Luo Xueyan slapped Shen Qiu’s hand away and said angrily, “Don’t annoy your sister.” She looked at the drunk Shen Miao and shook her head. “Alright, I’ll let Mo Qing, Ah Zhi, and the others set up a tent outside the courtyard for the night. Jingzhe and Gu Yu, come out after helping Miss change.”
This farmer’s house was not like the house in the capital. There was a sleeping room and an outer room where Jingzhe and Gu Yu could make do for the night. Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were not harsh people. They wouldn’t let Jingzhe and Gu Yu sleep on the ground. With Ah Zhi and Mo Qing guarding outside, even Shen Miao slept alone, there shouldn’t be any problem.
After Jingzhe and Gu Yu helped Shen Miao change, they left the room. Mo Qing, Ah Zhi, and the others, who had set up the tent in the courtyard outside, also took turns keeping watch at night.
In the “beautiful” side room, only Shen Miao was left.
Shen Miao, who was helped to lay down on the bed by Jingzhe, suddenly got up.
The aftereffects of the plum wine finally surged up at this moment. At this moment, Shen Miao’s eyes were blurry. She stood up shakily and was about to walk towards the window when she staggered and almost knocked over the corner of the table.
In the darkness, a pair of strong arms helped her up. She could vaguely smell the faint fragrance on the other party’s body. A familiar voice sounded in her ear with a faint teasing tone. “Tsk, you don’t have to pounce on me like that.”
Shen Miao wrapped her arms around his waist to steady herself, but she did not notice that the other party’s body tensed up.
A moment later, with a whoosh, a flame was lit. The person found a match from somewhere and lit the oil lamp in the room.
The windows of the farmer’s house were carved straight from wood. The lights in the room could not be seen from the outside, so the people in the courtyard did not notice anything unusual in the room.
Under the dim light, she could see the other party’s face clearly. He was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and a dark red brocade robe. His dark eyes were as bright as the starry sky. Who could this person be other than Xie Jingxing?
Shen Miao was stunned and said, “Xie Jingxing?” When she said this, her body was heavy. She accidentally leaned against Xie Jingxing again, almost hugging him.
Xie Jingxing frowned. “How much did you drink?” He sized up Shen Miao and said in disdain, “I was kind enough to come to send you off, but I didn’t expect to bump into a drunkard.”
“You’re the drunkard,” Shen Miao immediately retorted.
“Oh, you recognized me. It seems like you’re not drunk,” Xie Jingxing said as he helped Shen Miao to the couch and brought the oil lamp closer.
Under the dim light, Shen Miao was wearing a plain white inner robe with her hair down. She looked at him in a daze, looking like a different person from her usual smart and calm self. She really looked like a pitiful little girl. Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and couldn’t help but pinch her face.
Shen Miao puffed out her cheek and glared at him.
It was rare to see her like this. Xie Jingxing found it interesting and thought that since Shen Miao was drunk now, he might be able to get something out of her. He asked, “Who am I?”
“Xie Jingxing,” Shen Miao replied quickly.
“Do you know who Xie Jingxing is?”
Shen Miao stared at him and slowly frowned, not saying anything for a long time. Xie Jingxing was a little puzzled by her gaze and thought to himself that this girl was probably cursing him in her heart. Unexpectedly, Shen Miao suddenly smiled and said, “He’s an amazing person!”
