"Shen Zhiyi, open the window and I will explain to you that it is really just a way to save people." Tao Jiuxi stood under the window, with a hint of urgency and helplessness in his voice.

"Shen Zhiyi, how can you, a grown man, be so stingy? Didn't I even touch him with my mouth?" Tao Jiuxi's voice rose a few degrees, with a hint of anger.

"Will you open the door? If you don't, I'm really leaving."

However, no matter how she shouted, there was still no response.

Tao Jiuxi didn't know what Shen Zhiyi's current situation was, and was anxious, so he pulled out his hairpins and poked a hole in the window.

She looked inside through the small hole and saw Shen Zhiyi sitting quietly in front of the desk, motionless and expressionless.

He just sat there quietly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Ayi!"

"Baby!"

"baby!"

Tao Jiuxi shouted again, with a hint of coquettishness in his voice.

However, when Tao Jiuxi looked through the window, Shen Zhiyi still did not respond to these calls.

He was like a sculpture, immersed in his own world and deaf to Tao Jiuxi's calls.

"If you ignore me, I'll leave."

"So I'm really leaving?"

After saying that, she looked at Shen Zhiyi through the window unwillingly for a while, and seeing that he still had no reaction, she went back to the house helplessly.

As soon as he returned to the house, Tao Jiuxi couldn't wait to change his clothes and start complaining to Mu'er.

"Tell me, how could he be so unreasonable? I just saved someone, but he didn't even give me a chance to explain."

Tao Jiuxi frowned, muttered constantly, and had a look of grievance on his face.

"Girl, what man can accept this kind of behavior?"

"Mu'er, I understand your thoughts, but I also have my own... Never mind, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll sleep for a while."

She had just laid down to sleep when Xie Yushu came to her room and said, "Jiuxi, I have something to discuss with you."

"You'd better call me by my full name, otherwise I'll think you want to harm me." Tao Jiuxi said with a grin.

"You don't know what's good for you!" Xie Yushu replied angrily.

"Oh, yes, just talk to me in that tone. Go ahead. What's the matter?"

"Can the man we rescued today stay on the boat? He's a little weak now." Xie Yushu frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of concern. His hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes, and he seemed a little nervous.

"You're not the kind of person who cares about others. What's wrong? Are you interested?"

Tao Jiuxi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. She folded her hands in front of her chest and tilted her head to look at Xie Yushu.

"I didn't." Xie Yushu denied it immediately. His face flushed slightly and his eyes were a little evasive. "I just felt that he was alone outside and had just fallen into the water. He was still so weak. If I left him on the shore, he might be in danger."

"I'm telling you, don't pick up men you meet on the street. There was a girl named He in our village who picked up a man named Fu on the street. Guess what happened?"

Tao Jiuxi deliberately lowered her voice, with a hint of mystery in her eyes. As she spoke, she approached Xie Yushu.

"What's the matter?" Xie Yushu was attracted by Tao Jiuxi's words. He widened his eyes and looked at Tao Jiuxi curiously.

"Your innocence is at risk and you are subjected to humiliation!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yushu looked at Tao Jiuxi in confusion, as if he didn't believe her.

Seeing Xie Yushu's disbelief, Tao Jiuxi spoke in a deeper voice, "There's a rumor in our village about a little princess who loves to wear red clothes and married the prince of a neighboring dynasty. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"The family was destroyed, and he committed suicide!" Tao Jiuxi said word by word, her eyes revealing a hint of seriousness. "So, we can't just take in strangers, especially men. Do you understand?"

"Don't scare me. I just felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. I didn't have any other thoughts."

"In that case, let's just cut to the chase. When we get to the next dock, let him get off the boat. Ask him where he's from. I'll give him some money, and you can let him find a boat home."

This was the boat chartered by Shen Zhiyi, and Tao Jiuxi didn't want to cause any trouble.

She felt that she had already saved him, and giving him some money would be the most she could do.

She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to herself and the people on the boat because of a stranger.

"Is there any room for negotiation?" Xie Yushu looked embarrassed, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

"No. Just take him down to the next dock. If you're worried about his health, I can give him some extra money and have him call a doctor after we get off the boat."

If it was a girl, Tao Jiuxi might consider taking her in, but since the other party was a man, she had to be cautious.

"I didn't expect that you usually pretend to be so kind, but when you really encounter this kind of thing, you show your true colors." Xie Yushu said angrily, her face flushed red, and her eyes were full of disappointment.

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"what?"

Tao Jiuxi stood there in a daze. Well, her mother tongue was speechless.

Then he muttered to himself, "Could this Xie Yushu be the reincarnation of Xue Baochai?"

"Girl, look at how she speaks, she's still so presumptuous." Mu'er was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, her little face flushed red.

After hearing what Xie Yushu said, she was furious, her chest heaving violently. "I really wanted to go up and teach her a lesson on behalf of the young lady. But she ran too fast. Before I could even open my mouth, she was gone."

"Mu'er, don't be so funny." Tao Jiuxi was amused by Mu'er, and then comforted Mu'er in return.

"She's always like this. I won't lose a single piece of meat if she says a few words to me. Don't you know that she used to have a much worse mouth?"

Tao Jiuxi didn't care at all. She lay down on the bed, rolled around like a child, and pulled the quilt over herself.

"That girl still plays with her." Mu'er frowned and looked at Tao Jiuxi with confusion. She really didn't understand why the girl would make friends with such a person.

"She just has a foul mouth, but she's not a bad person. The main thing is that she can't scold me as well. Wait until I'm in a good mood, and then I'll scold her until she cries. Cry ah ah." Tao Jiuxi said as he smiled triumphantly, his eyes narrowed into slits.

But after she finished speaking, she felt dizzy again, as if a cloud of mist was covering her head.

"Didn't you just get up? Why are you still sleeping now?" Mu'er walked to the bed with concern, reached out and touched Tao Jiuxi's forehead to see if she was sick again.

"I don't know. I'm very tired. You take Fuya with you." Tao Jiuxi said weakly. She closed her eyes, turned over, and faced Mu'er with her back.

After a while, her breathing became even and she seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Mu'er shook her head helplessly, then took Fu Ya out of the room, fearing that she would wake up Tao Jiuxi.
