The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 42
Ah Ju's face turned blue and red, knowing that he was determined not to let her go down, so he had to be honest because of his injuries.It's just that in this posture, it's really uncomfortable to have her stomach pressed against his shoulders, and she was hungry again, staggering and starting to feel dizzy, Ah Ju hurriedly used this excuse to persuade him: "You, put me down quickly, I'm dizzy!"

Zhao Chen paused, and really put the person on the ground. Before Ah Ju could ask for the shoes, he squatted down in front of her again: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back, stop talking nonsense, just say one more word and I'll continue." carrying you."

His voice was cold, squatting there also had an intimidating manner, Ah Ju looked at the shoes he was carrying, hesitating: "You..."

"I'll count to three, one, two..."

He didn't pause at all, and Ah Ju didn't dare to take chances anymore, and lay on his back with her eyes closed, her pretty face flushed, and her heart was in a mess.

The corner of Zhao Chen's mouth raised, he turned his head, only saw the top of a head, and refused to show it to him.He was also happy if he didn't show her, he stood up firmly with her on his back, stopped after taking two steps, looked at the little hands on his shoulders, and asked her with a light smile: "Really, Ah Ju, I treat you so well , you think about it again?"

Ah Ju quietly opened his eyes, the man moved forward steadily, and the trees on one side slowly retreated.

This is already the second time he proposed today, and every time when he was grateful for her kindness, it was hard for him to refuse, so Aju had to reply him more tactfully: "Mr. Zhao is a dragon and phoenix among people. You will definitely meet a good girl who really likes you."

Zhao Chen laughed at himself: "I don't know who likes me, I just want to marry me... whoever I want to marry."

Ah Ju didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she remained silent.

Zhao Chen didn't ask any more questions, because she was hungry and uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace.

When we arrived at the lake, the sky was completely bright, the birds in the forest were singing more cheerfully, the sun shone through the leaves on the grass, and the dewdrops were shining brightly.

Ah Ju's shoes were not dry yet, Zhao Chen took off his outer robe and spread it on a sunny beach, and asked Ah Ju to sit on it.Ah Ju refused to say anything, Zhao Chen grabbed her hand, stared at her blushing face and said: "I am doing this for your own good, do you have to ask me to do something to force you to be obedient?"

What can he do?
The domineering demands in the darkness of last night suddenly came to mind, Ah Ju's face turned pale, and she quickly broke free from his hand and sat down obediently.Zhao Chen smiled at her stiff back, and carried the embroidered shoes in his hands to a distance to dry. He leaned over and rolled up his trouser legs, then took out a dagger to sharpen a branch, greeted Ah Ju, and went into the water.

The sound of water continued, Ah Ju couldn't help but quietly looked over.

Seeing the jade-like back of a man in the morning light...

Ah Ju immediately turned her head again, annoyed how she forgot this, she was still sitting on his robe.

Zhao Chen quickly caught a fish, and when he turned back to the shore, he saw Ah Ju kneeling with his back facing him. The peach red shirt was placed on the white skirt, which made her look like a flower, quietly blooming there, waiting. He went to pick it.

Zhao Chen took a few more glances, threw the fish on the beach, and continued to catch it. Both of them were very hungry, and one fish must not be enough.

Zhao Chen took care of tidying up the fish, collecting firewood to make a fire, flipping through the fish and roasting shoes.Seeing him holding his embroidered shoes and roasting them seriously, Ah Ju couldn't lift his head anymore.

"Okay, you can put it on." Zhao Chen suddenly stood up and gave her the shoes.

Aju lowered her eyes to pick it up, she touched the toe of the shoe, Zhao Chen held on to the heel, "Aju, your feet are really small, not as big as my hand."

Ah Ju didn't hear clearly at first, looked at him in confusion, met the man's smiling eyes, somehow came back to his senses, suddenly his face was on fire, he hurriedly pulled off his shoes and put them on far away, refusing to go any further .

Zhao Chen hadn't been this happy for a long time. Seeing her pitifully standing by the lake, not daring to come or come, he picked up his robe and called to her: "You stained my clothes, please wash them for me immediately. Dry early and go down the mountain early."

Ah Ju wouldn't go there for any other reason, but she just sat on his clothes, of course he would dislike her.

There was no other way, Ah Ju bowed his head and walked towards him, and motioned him to throw the robe over after a few steps.

Zhao Chen smiled, put the robe on in front of her, and continued to tease her: "You don't need to wash it, it's its good fortune to serve you once, just like the robe you wore last time, I didn't even Wash it, and put it away." It was rare for her to blush in front of him for reasons other than anger, and he wanted to see more, because there were not many opportunities to be alone with her before getting married.

last time?

Ah Ju was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to remember that he was talking about the time by the river, that time, she didn't wear anything underneath...

Ah Ju was so ashamed and angry, such teasing with words made her feel more uncomfortable than touching her hands and feet. She could resist when he did it, and it was hard to even reprimand him for such words.Ah Ju turned to leave, Zhao Chen grabbed her wrist, and softly confessed: "Don't be angry, I promise not to talk anymore, let's go, eat fish, we will go down the mountain after eating."

Ah Ju really wanted to shake off his hand and say that she wouldn't eat his food, but she was so hungry that she could barely stand, if she didn't eat, would she let him carry it down the mountain?

The man let go of his hand, Ah Ju didn't look at him, and walked quickly towards the fire.

Zhao Chen rushed to the fire ahead of her, took off the scorched fish skin and handed it to her, Ah Ju took it with a blank expression, turned and walked towards the lake.This man was kind and offensive to her, repeatedly, she didn't know what else she could say to him, anyway, soon the two of them would have nothing to do with each other, no matter whether he was good or bad, she just had to bear it .

It was inconvenient to eat fish, Zhao Chen did not chase after her, and sat cross-legged on the beach to eat his portion.After eating, Ah Ju didn't seem to be finished over there, Zhao Chen stared at her back for a while, got up and went to look for her, seeing that there was more than half of the fish in her hand, he wondered: "Isn't it delicious?"

"...I'm full." The fish is too big, and a small half is enough for Ah Ju to be full. After she finished speaking, she looked up at him, but saw that the corners of the man's mouth were black. How cold he is usually, he is so funny now. Ah Ju couldn't help turning her head and giggling, trying not to make a sound.After she finished eating, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. He's a man, so he's not that careful, is he?

Her shoulders trembled slightly, Zhao Chen realized it later, touched the corner of his mouth, and his face changed slightly.But this was the first time she laughed in front of her, Zhao Chengao went out, squatted down and grabbed the fish in her hand, "Give it to me if I can't finish it, I'm not full yet."

Ah Ju didn't want to give it to him, or at least she had to get rid of the place she had eaten before giving it to him, but just as she was about to snatch it back, Zhao Chen suddenly pointed at the corner of her mouth, and said with some contempt: "Your place is black." After saying that, he got up and walked away.

Didn't you wipe it clean yourself?

Ah Ju didn't care about the fish anymore, turned around quickly, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully, but she was still worried after wiping, so she simply washed her face.

Zhao Chen kept looking at her with a smile, and felt that her stupidity was very painful, so he finally washed his face very seriously.

Ah Ju was worried about her parents and wanted to leave after eating.

It was rare for the relationship between the two to ease up, Zhao Chen didn't want to deliberately delay any longer, and walked ahead to open the way.

As he was walking, Ah Ju couldn't keep up, so he stopped to wipe his sweat panting.Zhao Chen looked back at her, his eyes suddenly paused, he pointed to the cliff not far away and said: "What do you think is that?"

Ah Ju looked over suspiciously, and saw a cluster of white orchids blooming on the steep cliff. The flowers were not big, and they were clustered together one by one, which was particularly conspicuous.

"Do you know him?" Zhao Chen asked her.

Ah Ju shook her head, the distance was too far, she couldn't see clearly, she could only tell it was an orchid based on the leaves.

Zhao Chen looked up and down the cliff, and suddenly walked over there: "You wait here, I will pick it."

Ah Ju's heart trembled, she looked at the distance between the orchid and the ground, and hurriedly stopped him: "It's too dangerous, don't pick it!"

"You don't like it?" Zhao Chen looked at her suspiciously. When she looked up at the flowers just now, he clearly saw amazement in her eyes.

Did he want to give it to her?
After a brief surprise, Ah Ju shook his head: "I don't like it, Mr. Zhao, I just want to go home quickly, let's go."

Zhao Chen didn't believe it, and walked over there while saying: "Since you don't like it, then I'll take it off and give it to my mother when I go back."

"But if Mrs. Zhao knew that the peanuts were at such a high place, she would definitely not let you take the risk of picking them. Mr. Zhao, can we go down the mountain quickly?" Ah Ju quickly ran to him to try to dissuade him.

Zhao Chen ignored her.

Ah Ju had no choice but to follow him there.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two reached the foot of the cliff. Zhao Chen took off his robe and threw it to Ah Ju, then ignored her dissuasion and began to climb up.

Ah Ju looked up at him, her heart almost jumped out.

The bottom of the cliff is okay, it gets steeper as it goes up, seeing Zhao Chen getting farther and farther away from the ground, and seeing the gravel rolled down all the way under his step, Ah Ju couldn't help hugging his robe tightly in his arms.In this situation, no matter he is Zhao Chen, a tyrant, or her savior, even if he is a stranger, she can't help but feel anxious.It's so high, in case he accidentally falls...

Just as he was thinking, a rock that the man had just landed on suddenly fell, and his body tilted...

Ah Ju screamed, she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look, her mind was blank, until the man's clear and unruly laughter came from above, she opened her eyes again, and saw Zhao Chen holding a protruding rock with one hand , while looking down at her, "Afraid I'll fall? What are you afraid of? I'm not your man. What does falling have to do with you?"

She was frightened to death, and he still had the heart to say such things, Ah Ju really didn't want to talk to him, but she made up her own mind to persuasion that seemed to be pleading: "Mr. Zhao, come down quickly, what if you... Mrs. Zhao? "

What responded to her was the figure of the man continuing to climb upwards.

What can Aju do?She could only continue to watch him anxiously, watching him getting closer and closer to the orchid cluster, watching him finally pick it up, and then slowly turn back down.When he finally reached a good place to go, Aju was surprised that his back and clothes were soaked. The hard work before was not more tiring than watching him pick flowers.

When Zhao Chen jumped to the ground steadily, Ah Ju threw his robe to him, turned around and left.

"Aju." The man behind him quickly caught up and called her in a low voice. Aju didn't want to talk to him, but someone grabbed her wrist and forced her to turn around.Ah Ju was not as strong as him, and was eventually pulled back by him. She was angry and was about to reprimand him for letting go, but Zhao Chen handed the orchid in his hand to her chest.

The fragrance was so strong that Ah Ju couldn't help but look down.

The petals of the orchid are as white as snow, but the stamen in the middle is a pleasant light yellow color, elegant and beautiful.

There was a vague guess in his heart, Ah Ju couldn't believe it, raised his head, and met the man's gentle and affectionate eyes: "Here, for you."

Ah Ju was stunned.

There is a blue sky above the head, a steep cliff on one side, the mountain wind blows, and the fragrance of orchids is quiet, but this rare and beautiful autumn scenery is not as eye-catching as the handsome man in front of him.

Just when she lost her mind for him, Zhao Chen said again: "Ah Ju, I treat you so well, do you really think about it?"
