Chapter 296 Elated
The big hand holding the lawn mower suddenly tightened. Zhu Jiu raised his head, and a slightly silly smile hit Jingzhi's heart directly.
"Okay, I'll go in."
"Don't, don't laugh, it's so ugly."
The moment Zhu Jiu's mouth curled up, a half-wet towel covered his raised head.
The slightly cool touch made him breathe a sigh of relief. This towel must have just been wet, right?
As soon as I breathed in, a faint sweet fragrance immediately entered my nose.
The hand that was about to pull the towel down suddenly stopped. This...could it be hers?
His face under the towel instantly became redder than his face which had been exposed to the sun all morning.
Looking at his exposed red neck, Jingzhi could easily tell what he was thinking.
"Don't think too much, that's the rag I use to clean the floor."
Zhu Jiu grabbed the towel and took it down to have a look.
There is a kitten embroidered on one corner of the towel. The towel is soft and thick, the color is clear light pink, and there is no dirt at all.
"Okay, it's a rag."
Appropriate agreement can save her face.
This shouldn't be considered a lie.
He carefully picked up a corner of the towel and gently wiped the sweat from his neck.
As soon as his eyes fell on her, his nose almost bled.
"Even though there aren't many people here, you should at least wear something."
Jingzhi looked down at the loose T-shirt on her body, somewhat confused.
"I am wearing it."
Zhu Jiu didn't dare to look up again.
He stared at the grass residue on the ground, his pupils twitching. "Put on some pants."
Pants?
Jingzhi looked down.
Oh, and her denim shorts were covered by her too-long T-shirt.
She leaned on the railing and snorted proudly towards the people below.
"This is my home. There are no men in my family. I can wear whatever I want."
"Could it be that you're so chauvinistic that you want to control my outfit?"
Zhu Jiu bit his lip, lowered his head and shook his head silently.
They weren't together yet, so what right did he have to be jealous of the way others looked at her?
"Come in and rest, and do it again when the sun is a little smaller."
"Ah."
"I just don't want rumors of worker abuse to spread. Don't think too much about it."
"……Um."
He is so good.
Jingzhi looked at his sweaty back and suddenly couldn't bring herself to say anything critical.
Humph, sooner or later, she will get rid of her soft heart.
Because she had just opened the balcony door, the faint fragrance in the air was instantly squeezed in by the scorching heat and smell of grass outside.
She sighed softly, picked up the perfume and pressed it hard into the air a few times.
He grabbed the hems of his clothes and fanned the air out onto the balcony.
"I won't let you in so easily..."
……
She just went downstairs, but there was no one downstairs. She walked to the glass and saw that he had gone out again.
In front of the TV, the mess on the coffee table had been cleaned up, and only a paper cup with a slightly wet rim was left there.
Jingzhi looked outside and saw that he had put away the lawn mower. He now had a towel draped over his shoulders and was using a rake to pick off the grass fragments floating on the surface.
As if sensing her gaze, Zhu Jiu froze, "I'll rest after I've finished my work."
Go ahead, go ahead, she won’t care about him.
"up to you!"
Jingzhi turned around and left.
The sun gradually moved above Zhu Jiu's head.
The entire courtyard has been completely transformed.
He kept the lawn and the potted plants next to it tidy and lush, which was a pleasure to look at.
He held the rake, put his left hand over his eyebrows and looked inward.
Why is the person missing?
"Ding dong~"
Zhu Jiu took off his sweat-soaked gloves and took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.
Doudou: Uncle, how are you? Did Sister Jingzhi give you any trouble? Did she ask you to do a lot of work this morning?
Zhu Jiu tilted her head, lowered her eyes and glanced at the fragrant towel that had only been used once, and her lips suddenly curled up.
Zhu Jiu: Not bad. She just asked me to do some gardening. She didn't give me any trouble.
[Doudou: (⊙o⊙) Wow, I was right, she is just soft-hearted.]
[Doudou: You need to learn to think deeply about her words. You're injured, right? That's why she didn't ask you to do anything involving water. This shows she still cares about you.]
Zhu Jiu covered his shoulder with his hands, his eyes slightly curved.
If she didn't feel sorry for me, why would she throw her towel down for me?
"Ding dong~"
Zhu Jiu regained his wandering gaze and focused on the phone screen.
A Jingjing's letter
He suddenly looked up at the living room and open kitchen behind the glass, searching for her.
Where is she? Isn't there anyone here?
Zhu Jiu suddenly felt a little scared and clicked on the text message.
What if she chases him away again?
"Squeak~"
The white window upstairs was opened a crack.
Her unpleasant voice suddenly rang out.
"If you don't want to see it, just leave."
Zhu Jiu quickly replied: "I'm going to see it, I'm going to see it now, don't chase me away."
"Bang."
The window closed again.
Just die.
Zhu Jiu tapped lightly with trembling fingers.
A Jingjing: Lunch and medicine box are on the table, change of clothes and money are on the sofa. You can use the bathroom downstairs, but don't go upstairs. I'm going to sleep.
Zhu Jiu's panicked heart suddenly became filled with joy.
The darkened screen reflected his two rows of white teeth.
As you walk into the room, the aroma of sweet and sour food hits your nose.
It's cold noodles.
Thin shredded apples, translucent bean sprouts, green shredded cucumbers, thinly sliced beef, and half a boiled soft-boiled egg were neatly arranged, and half of the white noodles were submerged in the clear brown sauce.
It looks refreshing.
Zhu Jiu picked it up and walked to the sofa while stirring it.
I found a medicine box on the right side of the sofa, with medicine and gauze on the lid.
A white T-shirt and a dry towel were placed next to the medicine box.
A few banknotes were lying under the tissue box on the table.
Zhu Jiu took a quick look and then looked away, placing his gaze on the cold noodles in his hand.
Her face is almost blooming like a chrysanthemum.
He looked at the empty staircase with affection.
Suddenly whispered:
"Thank you."
……
Jingzhi was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone when she suddenly heard the faint sound of water coming from downstairs, which distracted her.
Md, she can’t even concentrate on playing with her phone, how can she do any serious work!
The lingering smell of grass in the room made her frown.
It looks like she'll have to keep the door closed at night.
"Ding dong~"
[AAA parted ways and wished each other well.]
Jingzhi's brows instantly furrowed deeply into the shape of a "川" character.
What is he doing?
Did you fall in the shower? Or did water get into your wound?
"I don't want to see it, I just can't suppress my cat's curiosity."
Jingzhi said something stubbornly before opening the text message.
[AAA: Sorry to disturb your rest. I can't bandage it by myself. Can you help me?]
Attached is a photo.
In the photo, his hair was wet and pushed back, revealing his face with a frown and pursed lips, as if he was enduring pain.
The bandage on his shoulder was wrapped loosely, and the hideous wound that had not yet healed was faintly visible.
Jingzhi gritted his teeth.
This photo is full of scheming no matter how you look at it.
But why did her legs stand up uncontrollably?
Zhu Jiu was texting with Doudou downstairs.
【Zhu Jiu: Is this too much?】
Doudou: Don't worry. Judging from her behavior at noon, she seems to have softened her stance. Besides, you're truly injured and in need of help, and you didn't lie. You're just sacrificing a bit of your beauty.
Beauty?
How can a grown man like him be beautiful?
Hearing the footsteps gradually coming downstairs, Zhu Jiu quickly turned his phone to silent mode and put it away.
He sat up straight, put his hands on the gauze on his shoulders, and pulled it here and there.
"If you don't know how to do it, don't touch it."
Zhu Jiu looked at Jingzhi who was walking towards him angrily, and suddenly found her inexplicably cute.
"You're here?"
Jingzhi: "Don't move, don't talk, don't look at me, and don't breathe while I'm bandaging you!"
