Quickly wear: The male protagonist Jue Si is manipulated by a pregnant Jiaojiao

Shen Yunjin lives a fulfilling life every day. Even when he has free time, he will find things to do, so he rarely suffers from insomnia.

But I don’t know what happened tonight. After taking a shower, I couldn’t fall asleep.

He lifted the quilt, took a cigarette from the drawer, walked to the balcony and lit it.

He didn't turn on the lights. The scarlet flames burned in the darkness. The flickering light illuminated the corners of his cold lips from time to time. As the smoke spread in the darkness, his eyebrows and eyes became as dark as an eagle's.

It was not until he heard footsteps outside that he paused and looked back towards the door.

Shen Yunjin has been in the army for many years, and he can tell who a person is by the sound of his footsteps.

The footsteps were heavy, belonging to Shen Zhencai.

Shouldn't he be with the Ninth Concubine at this time?

Shen Yunjin didn't know what he was thinking. He put out the cigarette, opened the door and walked out.

He turned the corner and saw Shen Zhencai had already entered his room.

You're going back so soon. Are you having a conflict with the Ninth Concubine?
Shen Yunjin didn't know when he started to become so gossipy. Seeing this, his mood inexplicably improved. He went back to his room, no longer suffering from insomnia, and slept until dawn.

The reason why Shen Zhencai went back last night was because Nanzhi rejected him on the grounds that she had her period.

Shen Zhencai couldn't touch her even if he wanted to.

But this reason can only be used once or twice. If used more than once, it will arouse Shen Zhencai's suspicion.

Nanzhi needs to think carefully about what to do next time.

But right now, for at least a week, Shen Zhencai won't have such thoughts.

There is a very tall library in the Marshal's Mansion, and it is said that it contains many classic poems and ancient books.

Nanzhi was so bored staying in the room all day that she decided to go there and take a look the next day.

In order to make her serve him willingly, Shen Zhencai gave her many privileges, so she could also enter the library.

The library is five stories high.

Nanzhi walked in and looked through the bookshelf curiously.

Shen Yunjin likes reading very much, but his favorability value has been very low. If she wants to win him over, she still has to find some common topics, and books may serve as a medium.

In this way, Nanzhi went there for three consecutive days and finally met Shen Yunjin who also came to the library.

Shen Yunjin had just arrived at the third floor of the library and was about to look for a book when he saw a small group of people standing in front of the bookshelf, standing on tiptoe to pick up a book.

The book was placed very high and she couldn't reach it.

Looking at her fluttering face, she became less gentle and more cute.

He didn't plan to go forward to help. He leaned against a pillar and just watched her struggle, wondering when she would give up.

Unexpectedly, the man did not give up. He cleverly found a chair and stood on it to get the book.

Finally got it, she curved her eyebrows with joy.

Shen Yunjin raised her eyebrows when she saw this. She didn't intend to read on. She turned around and was about to go upstairs when she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that the chair she was standing on tilted to the side.

Seeing her body tilt and about to fall to the ground, Shen Yunjin strode over and held her up.

Nanzhi just lay on her side in his arms, her little hand subconsciously grabbing his collar. She tilted her head back, opened her moist almond eyes, and looked at him blankly.

They were just a few inches apart, their eyes met, and something was fermenting invisibly.

It was Shen Yunjin who noticed something was wrong and let her go immediately.

After Nanzhi stood firm, her snow-white cheeks turned red as if blood was dripping out. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "Thank you... Thank you, Marshal."

Shen Yunjin looked at her cheek, his eyes slightly condensed. The touch of his palm when he was holding her was cold and silky, soft and delicate, which made him feel uncomfortable. He said nothing and quickly went up to the fourth floor with a cold face.

Seeing him walking so fast, Nanzhi was silent for a while before picking up the book that had fallen on the ground.

She brushed off the dust and went to the desk to read silently.

Yuzhi had been called by her to the desk to grind ink, and did not see what happened just now.

But I still heard some noise.

"Was it the young marshal just now?" "Yes, it was him." Nanzhi sat down without explaining anything, "Yuzhi, give me the brush."

Nanzhi has been reading and not writing these two days.

Yuzhi thought she couldn't write or her writing was not good, but unexpectedly, she could write and write very beautifully.

It’s just a pity that Yuzhi had no idea what she was writing.

Shen Yunjin read absent-mindedly the whole afternoon. When he went downstairs to the third floor, Nanzhi had already gone back.

When passing by the bookshelf, he saw the book that Nanzhi had taken a few hours ago - "The Book of Songs".

Most of the poems in the Book of Songs are about love between men and women, which Shen Yunjin is not interested in.

But he saw that there seemed to be a bookmark inside, and out of curiosity, he reached out and took it down.

When I opened it, I saw a poem copied on the bookmark.

[There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. I love you but you don’t know it.]

The beautiful handwriting of the poem copied in small regular script with flowers in the hairpin shows that the owner is a well-educated person.

Shen Yunjin saw the explanation of the poem printed on the page.

[There are trees on the mountain and the trees have branches. I love you in my heart but you don’t know it.]

Looking at these words, Shen Yunjin's fingertips paused slightly.

What is she trying to express by writing this?
Is it just writing, or... have I fallen in love with someone?

During dinner, Shen Yunjin did not see Nanzhi at the table.

Shen Zhencai asked, "Where is the ninth concubine?"

Yuzhi hurried over to report: "Reporting to the Marshal, the Ninth Concubine said she was not feeling well and would not come down to eat."

Shen Zhencai frowned and asked, "Did you call a doctor?"

Yuzhi blushed: "Ninth Concubine didn't let me call her..."

Shen Zhen just realized that she had been feeling unwell these days, so he didn't say much.

"Then send one to her quickly."

Yuzhi nodded, walked forward, picked up some dishes and brought them to Nanzhi.

When the Sixth Aunt saw that Nanzhi did not come down for dinner, she was so happy that she kept showing off in front of Shen Zhencai.

"Commander, come, I'll feed you."

The Sixth Aunt was very good at coaxing people. Shen Zhencai felt that all women were the same during those days. How could he understand the hardships involved? He soon immersed himself in the Sixth Aunt's gentle embrace.

Seeing them all sticky, Shen Yunjin lost his appetite, put down his bowl and chopsticks and went upstairs.

The Sixth Aunt's voice was very coquettish, each voice getting louder and louder. She was doing it on purpose to anger Nanzhi.

Nanzhi could hear the sounds even from the second floor.

A maidservant stood up for her: "You didn't go downstairs to eat just once, and Sixth Concubine became so arrogant..."

Nanzhi didn't react much, "Let them be, don't tell me these things in the future."

She slightly supported her chin, her expression was dull, and she looked very listless.

Nanzhi had no appetite, so she ate a little and put the meal down. She rested for a while and was about to go to sleep when she heard a knock on the door.

Yuzhi went to open the door and found it was Doctor Liu from the Marshal's residence.

"Why are you here?"

Doctor Liu was a little confused: "Ah, didn't you call me to tell me that Auntie Nine was sick and asked me to come quickly?"

I have changed the name to Shen Yunshan. I didn’t think of this when I was naming it. Thanks for the reminder, my dears.
