Jill calmed down for a while, but in her sleep, she seemed to be aware of it. She stretched out her hand and touched it. When she touched the source of heat, she spontaneously snuggled in again.
The seventh day of the lunar month: "..."
This time, he didn't move her away, but he didn't close his eyes again, and kept them open until dawn.
However, he has decided in his heart that he will send Jill back to the palace tomorrow.
The next day.
Jill woke up after a good sleep and found that Xiao Qi was no longer in the house.
She was at a loss for a while, then thought of something, her expression changed, and she quickly got out of bed and rushed out.
In the yard, Chu Qi was sitting on a stool with her back to the door, lowering her head to wash the quilt and the clothes that Jill had changed.
Hearing some movement behind him, he quickly turned around. When he saw Jill standing barefoot by the door, his handsome face changed, he hurriedly dropped the things in his hands, stood up and walked over.
"Xiao Qi..." When Jill saw him, she immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly. "I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought you were gone again..."
Chu Qiyi was startled. When the words of rebuke came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"I won't leave. Even if I have to leave, I will tell you." He whispered, wiped his hands behind his back, picked her up and walked inside.
Hearing this, Jill breathed a sigh of relief and rested her head on his shoulder, "Xiao Qi, you must remember your promise to me."
"I know, I won't forget." Chu Qi said, not forgetting to educate her, "The ground is cold. You stepped on the ground and caught the cold. What should you do? Don't forget, you are coming to Kuishui."
"I know, I won't be like this again." Jill promised.
Chu Qi glanced at her but said nothing, not sure if she believed it or not.
After entering the house, he carried her to the bedside and sat down. He then took a handkerchief and wiped her dirty feet clean. Finally, he took the stockings and carefully put them on for her.
Looking at the man squatting on the ground, Jill felt very sad.
"Xiao Qi, what were you doing in the yard just now?" she asked.
"It's nothing." Chu Qi glanced at her, stood up and said, "Go wash up and have breakfast later."
"Oh." Jill went to wash up obediently.
Looking at the hot water Xiaoqi had prepared for her on the basin shelf, she felt warm in her heart.
Xiao Qi was as careful and kind to her as ever.
She felt that she really liked the right person.
After washing, she went out of the house and saw Xiaoqi rolling up her sleeves and drying out the washed sheets and her skirt.
Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment and understood instantly.
It turns out that Xiao Qi got up so early to wash her clothes.
Thinking that Xiao Qi had washed all the dirty sheets and skirts with her own hands, her face felt a little hot, but she felt very happy in her heart.
Xiaoqi didn't mind being dirty at all.
She walked behind him and watched him dry the quilt seriously.
His back was handsome, and his rolled-up sleeves revealed two strong and slender forearms. Even though he was doing such trivial things, he was not impatient at all, but was very serious.
The corner of Jill's mouth curled up. She liked Xiao Qi so much and felt that everything about him was an advantage. Even when he was drying his clothes, he looked so good-looking.
Looking at the busy man, she knew the reason, but she still couldn't help asking: "Xiao Qi, why do you wash it with your own hands?"
After Chu Qi put on the last piece of dress in detail, he turned to look at her.
He originally wanted to find an excuse, but when he looked into the girl's bright eyes, he finally whispered: "There are no maids in the house, they are all men. It is not appropriate to let them wash."
Looking at the man with lowered eyes, Jill suddenly burst into laughter, "Xiao Qi, you are so cute."
Chu Qi adjusted her sleeves for a moment and looked at her in confusion, "Cute?" Is it appropriate for a grown man to use such words to describe her
