Chapter 643: Female Companions in the Imperial Examination Don't Be Cannon Fodder (22)
After drying the petals, the two entered the house one after the other.
Ning Xi saw his sweaty appearance, and saw that it was still early, so he asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" Ended? ”
"Nope." He Shiyan wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, "I heard that Wang Linzhang was here, so I rushed back." ”
"It's not a big deal, you go take a shower first." Ning Xi nudged him gently.
When he came out of the bathhouse, he was still covered in moisture.
The long hair was only wiped casually a few times before walking in front of Ning Xi.
Ning Xi just brought two bowls of jasper-colored mung bean soup from the stove room, "Brother He, your hair hasn't dried yet." ”
"It'll be dry in a minute." He Shiyan looked at her, "Wang Linzhang is embarrassed for you?" ”
"How can he embarrass me?" Ning Xi took the cloth towel and stood behind him, brushing up his long hair and slowly wiping it up.
"He seems to be trying to woo you, though."
The long hair fell into her hands, He Shiyan was flattered, and he didn't know how to place his hands for a while.
"I'm not solicited by him."
Ning Xi chuckled, "I know, so it's not a big deal. ”
He Shiyan went back with his backhand, grabbed one of her hands and pulled her to his side, "Okay, the wind will dry out in a while, sit with me." ”
Ning Xi sat opposite him and picked up the cold mung bean soup, "Drink some to reduce the heat." ”
She looked at He Shiyan, since the last time he made a big red face in front of the doctor, he would practice the five bird opera in the courtyard every day to exercise his body.
The other students invited him out to play Keju, and he was also very happy, so he wanted to exercise his body well.
He Shiyan had just finished taking a shower, and the long shirt he was wearing was relatively thin, and the muscle outline inside was faintly visible.
Ning Xi's face was a little red, this guy is in pretty good shape.
She held her cheeks like this, watched him drink mung bean soup, and said a few words about what happened during the day from time to time.
"Mrs. Li's lotus pond in Beizhuang dug up a lot of lotus roots today and sent a lot of them over, how about we eat lotus roots in the evening?"
"Lotus root bone broth, cold lotus root, fried lotus root meatballs?"
He Shiyan fully agreed, and after drinking the mung bean soup, he tied up his long hair at will and went to the well to deal with the lotus root.
Ning Xi picked up a red persimmon from the stone table and took a bite, it was so sweet, just in time to see He Shiyan who was diligently peeling the lotus root.
She walked over, bent down and placed the persimmon in front of him, "Take a bite." ”
He Shiyan raised his head and bumped into her bright eyes, his face flushed, "I'll eat it when I go back." ”
"Just take a bite, I'm so tired from bending over."
He Shiyan had no choice but to take a bite of the persimmon on his head, but found that his thin lips touched her fingers.
He was stunned, and hurriedly buried his head and continued to peel the lotus root.
But no matter how much he diverted his attention, the touch of the fingertips firmly occupied his mind.
It's not a gentleman's doing.
To make matters worse, he felt less and less resistant to her.
……
On the day of the release of the list, Bai Ziyue and others came early to look for him Shiyan and went to the Gongyuan to see the list.
He Shiyan also took Ning Xi with him, and there were circles of people outside the Gongyuan.
Ning hoped and withdrew, "Why don't we go to the restaurant and sit down and come over?" ”
So, they went to the teahouse and sat down, and it didn't take long to hear the tapping sound of Zhang Bang.
The sound of boiling people came from afar, and the people in the restaurant couldn't sit still, so they sent the scholars to inquire about the situation.
Ning Xi had just added a cup of tea, when someone suddenly broke into the restaurant and exclaimed.
"Who, who is He Shiyan?"
"Where is He Shiyan?!"
"Xie Yuanhe Shiyan!!"
Since the Gongyuan released the list, the name He Shiyan has been remembered by every student.
They all wanted to see what such a prodigy looked like.
Ning Xi was also happy to learn that he had won the first place in the exam.
In this way, they did not turn back to determine the list, but invited guests to dinner in the restaurant.
"Brother He, congratulations on your high school Xie Yuan!" Bai Zi asked him to toast him first.
Other classmates also raised their glasses to toast, and He Shiyan inevitably drank too much.
When he returned, Ning Xi hired a carriage and helped him up with the coachman.
He Shiyan should have been drunk, and closed his eyes when he got into the carriage.
The carriage was bumpy, and Ning Xi was worried that he would knock his head, so he stretched out his hand and hugged him from behind, letting his head rest on his shoulder, which was quite heavy.
He Shiyan's head was dizzy, and he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Brother He, I'm home."
He Shiyan opened his eyes, and his gaze fixed on Ning Xi's face for a long time, "Xi'er."
Ning Xi was about to let him get out of the carriage, but he suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "Xi'er, I'm happy." ”
Smoked by the smell of wine, Ning Xi was disgusted, but it could be seen that he opened his mouth stupidly, and couldn't help laughing again.
This guy drinks really badly.
After getting out of the carriage, Ning Xi helped him to the room, poured him a big bowl of decanting soup and left.
……
The next morning, He Shiyan woke up from a hangover, only to feel a pain in his head, and when he walked out of the yard pinching his eyebrows, he found that it was empty.
Ning Xi just had her menstrual period last night, her stomach was uncomfortable and she couldn't get up in the morning, and when she was lying in bed, she heard footsteps outside.
"Cier."
Ning Xi stretched out a hand to open the curtain and answered him, Xu is voice was too weak, and He Shiyan was even more worried when he heard it.
"Are you unwell? Can I go in and see you? He Shiyan stood outside, frowning.
Ning Xi gathered the quilt, "I'm fine, you come in." ”
In ancient times, when a woman came to menstruation, men generally did not approach, for fear of getting filthy and bringing bad luck, especially for people like He Shiyan who were conducting scientific research.
It's just that she believes that He Shiyan will not be that kind of pedantic man.
He Shiyan pushed the door in and saw the person cowering in the quilt, looking at him with a small face slightly tilted up.
"Brother He, are you drunk? Why don't you take a shower first? Ning Xi saw that he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and when he sat on the edge of the bed, he still smelled of alcohol.
He Shiyan hurriedly stood up and took two steps back, "I'm worried that something will happen to you, so come over and take a look." ”
He looked at Ning Xi's appearance, worried that he had done something bad to her after he got drunk.
While she was thinking wildly, the woman lying on the bed suddenly spoke
"It's nothing, it's just a little painful."
"Xi'er, where do you hurt?" He Shiyan didn't care that he still had a smell on his body, so he stepped forward and asked.
Ning Xi frowned slightly, "It's just a little uncomfortable in my stomach." ”
The menstrual period is not accurate, maybe I didn't pay attention to the cold water yesterday.
Looking at He Shiyan, who was standing in front of her with a nervous face, she pulled up the quilt to cover her chin, "It's the menstrual affair."
He Shiyan's ears were hot when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
"Then you have a good rest, I'll go cook some sugar water."
Ning Xi looked at some of the men who had fled in the wilderness, and suddenly chuckled.
He Shiyan boiled the brown sugar water, took a bath and changed his clothes, and then brought the sugar water over.
As soon as I put down the bowl, I saw her feet slightly exposed.
He hurriedly pushed it in and covered the quilt, but accidentally touched it.
"Why is it so cold?"
