Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

Helian Yi stayed like this.

The wound gradually healed under Mingzhen's treatment. He helped to dry some herbs and take care of the yard on weekdays. Later, he even began to cook and wash clothes on his own initiative.

Mingzhen was very satisfied with his diligence. With more money in his hands, he became a little lazy. He would leisurely pick some herbs all day and then wait at home to be fed.

That day, Helian Yi was washing clothes. Although he had washed them many times, he couldn't help blushing when he looked at Mingzhen's clothes. He finished washing them quickly in a somewhat impatient manner and prepared to hang them out to dry.

After a while, I heard chirping sounds coming from outside the yard.

"Sister Ming, Sister Ming~"

Several half-grown children surrounded Mingzhen, calling out sweetly and looking at the pastries in her hands with longing in their eyes, like puppies waiting for a meat bone, wagging their tails and acting coquettishly.

Mingzhen smiled and shared the cakes with them, "Be good."

One of them stuffed the cake into his mouth impatiently and mumbled, "Sister Ming, when I grow up and pass the imperial examination, I will marry you!"

Mingzhen tapped his little head and said, "You're dreaming. Go home after you finish eating!"

The group of children left with a laugh, and Mingzhen turned back to the yard. He happened to see Helian Yi, who had just finished hanging the clothes, and stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth. "I saved this for you. Is it delicious?"

Helian Yi swallowed it obediently and nodded, "It's delicious."

Mingzhen sat down bored, lying on the wooden table like a weak and boneless person, and said in a coquettish tone, "Lian Yi, what delicious food are you going to make for lunch today? I also want to eat the one you made yesterday..."

"Okay, I'll do it later."

Helian Yi was somewhat immersed in this kind of relationship. They were like a couple, working from sunrise to sunset, resting from sunrise to sunset, ordinary and happy.

But now he is worried every day, afraid of being discovered by the organization.

Mingzhen's eyes rolled, and he asked with his chin propped up, "Lian Yi, do you know martial arts?"

She saw that Lian Yi's hands were covered with thick calluses, and his steps were light and almost silent.

Helian Yi said ambiguously: "I know a little bit. I learned it for self-defense. It's no problem to drive away some scoundrels."

"Have you ever heard of Shadow?"

The man suddenly looked up, carefully studying Mingzhen's expression, and asked calmly, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden, girl?"

"I'm just curious. Today, I heard from the storyteller that Shadow is the largest assassination organization in the martial arts world. Is that true? If you fought Shadow's assassins, could you win?"

Mingzhen held her face in her hands, her big, round eyes full of curiosity, and it looked like she asked the question on a whim.

"I don't know much about the affairs of the martial arts world, but if they come, I will definitely protect you and leave first, don't worry, young lady." Helian Yi relaxed his tense muscles and replied seriously.

He was lying, and judging by his reaction, he clearly knew it was Shadow.

Maybe he is being hunted by a killer from the shadows, so can we still expect to go to the capital with him?

Mingzhen secretly curled his lips.

She wanted to go to the capital to check out the situation and find Kuang Ji to find out the truth. If she was prepared, it would not be easy for Kuang Ji to kill her.

But if she were to travel to the capital alone, she would have to endure the tiring journey, and Mingzhen didn't want to endure that hardship.

Bring Lian Yi with her, and he will do everything for her.

Mingzhen's rosy lips curled slightly, and she was calculating in her mind, "Have you ever been to the capital? I heard it's very fun, with all kinds of cakes and snacks..."

"Miss, do you want to go to the capital?"

"I want to go, my future husband is still there!"

Mingzhen's eyelashes trembled, and he seemed a little aggrieved and lost. "It's been two months since the imperial examination ended, and he hasn't sent anyone to pick me up. He can't have forgotten me, right? I want to go to the capital to find him..."

Helian Yi frowned and said nothing.

In fact, he had heard before that the fifth princess fell in love with the new top scholar at first sight. He wondered if this was the reason why her fiancé left her?

He also wanted to accompany Mingzhen to see the man's ugly face, but would he still be able to return to the capital alive?

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

He has the art of disguise, which was taught by the leader himself. No one can see through it except the leader.

And the leader can't come and kill him himself, right?

"Really?" Mingzhen jumped up happily. She had shallow dimples on her cheeks, her hair was flying, and she looked bright and flamboyant. Even the simplest clothes could not hide her elegance.

"real."

She was so happy that it was worth taking any risk. When she gave up her treacherous fiancé, he would declare his feelings and live in seclusion in the mountains with Mingzhen...

......

Mingzhen fed him the antidote every half a month. Two months had passed unknowingly. She calculated the time and decided to set off during this time.

She took out the fifty taels of silver she had hidden, added the remaining fifteen taels from Helian Yi, and the twenty taels he had taken out a few days ago, a total of eighty-five taels.

enough.

When Helian Yi came in with a basin of water, he saw Mingzhen lying on the couch counting silver.

"Wash your feet."

The wooden basin was placed steadily at Mingzhen's feet. Helian Yi tested the water temperature and said, "It's not hot."

In Yong'an County, where the people are simple and honest, there is no special distinction between men and women. Mingzhen is even more eccentric. As long as she can enjoy herself, she doesn't care about these things. She turned around with the silver in her arms, approached Helian Yi, shook her calves and said, "Help me."

Helian Yi instantly remembered himself peeping by the stream at that time.

He felt a little hot all over, and refused with difficulty: "It's not appropriate..."

"Didn't you say you were a tutor to a young master and took care of him in every detail? Give me a hand, too. I'm counting small change and can't spare a minute."

In fact, Mingzhen was envious of his massage techniques. Two days ago, Mingzhen accidentally sprained her ankle, and Helian Yi massaged her carefully, gently and comfortably. After the massage, Mingzhen felt that all her fatigue was relieved a lot.

Well, I want to do it again.

“…Okay.” He agreed.

As for Mingzhen, Helian Yi always seemed unable to refuse her requests.

After a slight hesitation, a pair of large hands with a slightly darker complexion grasped her calves and took off her shoes and socks. The exposed skin was as white as jade, and her five toes were as cute as lotus seeds.

Mingzhen seemed unaware of his tension. Leaning back against the soft pillow, he lazily counted the copper coins, "Thirty-seven coins, thirty-eight coins..."

Helian Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and patiently pinched her small arch of the foot and pressed it gently. Mingzhen hummed from time to time in comfort.

Until the end, Helian Yi fled in panic.

Mingzhen didn't care and went to bed to continue counting, "Three hundred and twenty-one coins..."
