The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 9
Ah Ju really hasn't had time to think about how to repay the kindness of Mr. Zhao.

It's not that he doesn't appreciate the other party, it's really the current situation, with his upper body naked, no matter how you look at it, it's not suitable for talking.

"Young Master Zhao wants to..." She looked at Zhao Chen in embarrassment, and wanted to ask how he was doing, but she saw that he didn't look at her, no, it wasn't that he didn't look at her, but his eyes were lowered, as if they were on her chest .Ah Ju was suspicious, lowered her head, and suddenly found that her clothes were stuck to her body, and the place where her sister often teased and touched her was completely showing its shape...

With a bang in his mind, Ah Ju immediately hid behind his younger brother. After hiding, he found that his younger brother was too short to stop him.She was so anxious that she took her younger brother and hid behind the tree, leaning against the tree trunk, biting her lips and not saying a word, her heart was in a mess.What should I do now, her clothes are so wet that she can't go back to the village, her reputation will be ruined if she bumps into someone on the road, if she doesn't leave, what does that man want?

Ah Ju was suddenly frightened.

Pinlanju met her face at close range, she was afraid of the coldness of this man, she was disgusted when he peeped at her that day on the road, and now he is looking at her unabashedly, he doesn't understand the slightest bit of etiquette, will he...

"Here, go over there to change, and then ask your brother to dry your clothes on the rocky beach. It's hot now, and you'll be able to do it soon." When he was panicking, an arm suddenly stretched out from his side, and Ah Ju was startled. Jumped, and then realized that the man was holding his robe in his hand.She couldn't believe it, she turned her head to look at him, and found that the man turned his back to her, and just handed over the clothes with his backhand, which couldn't be more polite.

Ah Ju lowered her head, hesitating.

If she doesn't listen to him, she can let her brother go home to get the clothes, but she doesn't know when the two will leave, so she dare not let him go. Although he is only a seven-year-old child, he is now her only support.Listen to him, how can she wear the clothes of a foreigner?

"You don't want to wear it?" Zhao Chen frowned, his voice became cold.

Ah Ju couldn't answer, and became more panicked.

Zhao Chen waited for a while, then raised his foot to leave.

But Lin Chongjiu took the blue robe before he walked away, and raised his head to urge Aju: "Sister, Zhao, Mr. Zhao is kind, go and change it quickly, be careful not to catch a cold." He often listened to his mother's advice The two sisters don't touch cold water, it's definitely not good to get soaked like this.

There was worry and guilt in his eyes, Ah Ju's heart softened, bit his lips, and thanked the man who hadn't left in a low voice: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao for giving you the clothes, and please ask Mr. Zhao to guard me for a while, I... "

"With me here, no one can enter this forest." Knowing what she was worried about, Zhao Chen said calmly.

Ah Ju was silent, and after a while, she led Lin Chongjiu into the depths of the forest. After making sure that Zhao Chen couldn't see her and that there was no one around, she asked Lin Chongjiu to stay by her side, and walked forward for a while. Only then did he hide in the grass, took off all the wet clothes, wrung them dry and wiped his body, and then put the man's large coat on his body.This is a round-neck gown, and because the man is tall, the hem of the gown almost hangs down to her ankles.

Forcing himself not to think about that weird feeling, Ah Ju returned to Lin Chongjiu clutching his neckline, and whispered something in a low voice.

Lin Chongjiu nodded seriously, took the clothes and walked two steps forward, then turned to call her: "Eldest sister, you can wait by the edge of the forest, there is no one here..."

The forest was faint, and Ah Ju was actually afraid. After thinking about it, she led Lin Chongjiu and walked out sideways, avoiding the man over there.In the end, she hid behind a bush more than ten steps away from the edge of the forest and squatted down, and then asked Lin Chongjiu to say a few words before letting him go.

Lin Chongjiu first ran to the river sideways, far away from the place where he played in the water before, simply washed the clothes, wrung them dry vigorously, shook them one by one to make them smooth, and spread them out on the stones to dry.

Ah Ju kept looking at his younger brother, seeing that his younger brother was very obedient, he breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and quietly looked towards Zhao Chen.

There was a distance between the two, and the man stood with his back to her, his face was covered by leaves, only a white back, narrow waist and long legs could be seen.

Ah Ju quickly lowered her head, not daring to look around anymore.

Lin Chongjiu over there ran towards Zhao Chen after finishing her work, her face flushed, and she whispered: "Brother Zhao, my eldest sister asked me to thank you, she said that she would return your clothes to you as soon as they were dry, we After returning home, she will tell my father that you saved me, and ask my father to thank you."

Zhao Chen patted his head, "This is just right, you can naturally learn from me. Remember, don't reveal your secrets."

Lin Chongjiu nodded excitedly.

Zhao Chen glanced into the woods, then walked towards the river: "Let's go, let's continue swimming."

"This..." Lin Chongjiu hesitated.

Zhao Chen turned back and smiled at him: "Don't worry, with me here, your elder sister will agree."

Lin Chongjiu believed it immediately, and followed the man obediently.

"Xiao Jiu, where are you going?" Although Ah Ju didn't dare to look, she kept paying attention to the movement of the two of them. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she peeked and saw her brother walking towards the river again. She immediately stood up and hid in the tree. Afterwards, he raised his head and called for someone, his voice anxious.

Lin Chongjiu was a little nervous, Zhao Chen blocked him, and said sideways: "He is not good at swimming, so accidents will inevitably happen in the future, I happen to be free, so I will teach him."

Ah Ju frowned, and immediately dissuaded him: "Don't bother Mr. Zhao, Xiao Jiu, come here!" After teaching the younger brother, he will definitely come to play in the water. Even if the child is only seven years old, he can swim, and the family members don't trust him to come out. .

Lin Chongjiu lowered his head resentfully, and apologized to Zhao Chen: "Eldest sister won't let me learn, I... ah!"

It was Zhao Chen who carried him on his shoulders again, and walked towards the river without looking back.Lin Chongjiu was extremely excited. With someone helping him, he was not so afraid of elder sister. He turned his head and shouted: "Elder sister, don't worry, Mr. Zhao is good at swimming, and I will not have any accidents!"

Ah Ju was in a hurry and couldn't help chasing her younger brother. When Zhao Chen heard her footsteps, he smiled, stopped, turned around and looked at her without saying a word.

He didn't need to say anything, just seeing him standing there with his upper body naked, Aju, who had just run to the edge of the forest, immediately hid back, and scolded him in shame and annoyance: "Mr. Too young, please don't let Mr. Zhao play in the water!"

Zhao Chen stared at the corner of his clothes behind the tree, imagining her distraught and helpless appearance, and felt unprecedented joy, "That's your woman's opinion, how can a man stand upright, how can he not even know how to water? Xiaojiu, do you think so?" study?"

His voice was clear and dignified, with a kind of pride in it, Lin Chongjiu responded loudly without thinking: "I think!" He also wants to be such a powerful man as Mr. Zhao!
Zhao Chen was very satisfied, and finally said to Ah Ju: "Miss Lin really wants to stop, just come out and take Xiao Jiu away. If you don't come out, I will continue to teach him."

This is a rascal, men and women are different, he doesn't wear clothes, how can Ah Ju come out?

He was unreasonable, Ah Ju tried hard to persuade his younger brother to be sensible, but Lin Chongjiu had already entered the water with Zhao Chen, and he had already forgotten about his elder sister.

So Ah Ju could only stare at the river in fear, trying to only look at his younger brother.Zhao Chen sank into the water, she breathed a sigh of relief, when Zhao Chen came out, she immediately looked away, but once Lin Chongjiu's head was completely submerged in the water, Ah Ju couldn't wait to run out and pick up his younger brother, luckily Lin Chongjiu didn't hold his breath for long, Came up quickly.

Ah Ju had never suffered so much before, the forest was cool and cold, and she was sweating all over.

The breeze blows, and a strange breath floats into the nose.Ah Ju was stunned, and couldn't help but focus on distinguishing.It's the smell of a man's robe, a faint smell of sweat, and an elegant fragrance of orchids that can only be felt carefully.Ah Ju suddenly thought of the pot of big ones. This man's clothes are not incense, so he must have a lot of orchids in his house, right?
Orchid has a simple and elegant appearance and a dignified appearance. She is a gentleman among flowers, and many Xilan people are noble and pure.

Why is this man acting so rascally?It didn't match his cold demeanor at all.

However, he is sometimes a rascal, but he also has a sense of etiquette. When he gave her clothes, he didn't look sideways.

It was the first time Ah Ju met such a weird person.

"Brother Zhao, you're really amazing!" His younger brother's admiring voice came from his thoughts.

Ah Ju looked at the river, his younger brother was standing waist-deep staring at the water, the man was nowhere to be seen, he must have sunk into the water again.

I have to say that his breath-holding skills are really good.

Ah Ju didn't think much, just stared at her younger brother.

I don't know how long it took, but the man still didn't come up, Lin Chongjiu became anxious, and Ah Ju was also a little uneasy.

It seems that there is almost time for a cup of tea, right?
Could he be careless and have an accident?

Ah Ju quietly looked at his follower, but didn't see him at a glance, and moved a few steps towards the edge of the forest, only to find that the man was lying in the grass on the bank, with his sleeve covering his face, as if he was asleep.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you, Brother Zhao?" A scream came from the riverside, Ah Ju looked up, and saw Lin Chongjiu running into the deep water anxiously.Ah Ju was shocked, and quickly called to him: "Xiao Jiu, don't go!"

"Brother Zhao has sunk to the bottom of the water!" Lin Chongjiu shouted tremblingly.

"Then call him to help!" Ah Ju Xin raised it up, pointing at Chen Ping.

Lin Chongjiu immediately turned around and shouted vigorously.

Chen Ping heard the words of the two siblings clearly, and was not worried at all, and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Lin Chongjiu was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Elder Sister, Brother Zhao..."

Ah Ju didn't care too much at this time, and ran towards the river in a panic. When he ran to the bank, he couldn't see the depth of the water in the middle of the river.She was just about to go into the water to check, when suddenly there was a loud sound of water in front of her, and the man stood up from the shallow place near her.Ah Ju was stunned, watching him break through the water and approach her in astonishment, wiping the water stains on his face with both hands, brushing them from the hairline, then letting them down naturally, revealing his handsome face.The long eyebrows that had been soaked in water were like ink, and their hair was full of heroism, and the narrow and long phoenix eyes, because the eyelashes were wet, seemed to have a more blurred watery color, looking straight at her.

At that moment, Ah Ju's heart beat like a drum.

But the man's scorching gaze quickly brought her back to her senses, Ah Ju turned around and left with her red lips tightly pursed, feeling vaguely fooled.

"You're worried about me, aren't you?"

A man's deep but cheerful inquiry sounded behind him, and the guess came true, Ah Ju bit her lip and ran quickly.

Zhao Chen did not chase, but stood in the shallow water and looked at her back.

The girl was wearing his robe, and the sleeves of the skirt fluttered in the wind, making her even more petite and graceful, with a pair of white and slender legs looming, which were covered by the grass in an instant, and she also hurriedly hid behind the tree.

Zhao Chen laughed silently, and moved his eyes up the tree where she was hiding, looking at the lush forest and the clear blue sky above him, he was in a good mood.
