the next day, xiao zhao, who had not seen shi yan in a cheongsam the day before, saw her wearing a light-colored lady’s long dress and sitting at the dining table for breakfast. she couldn’t help but praise,”Miss Shi, you look really good in this outfit.”
“thank you,” shi yan replied with a smile.
Her smile was beautiful and gentle, and it was very infectious. Xiao Zhao couldn’t help but smile as well. He chatted,”Is this the dress that miss Shi and miss Shi bought when they went shopping?”
after being in contact with shi yan for a long time, he grew to like her more and more. seeing that shi yan was an easy-going person, little zhao became more open. occasionally, he would chat with shi yan, which added some liveliness to the courtyard where shi yan lived alone.
Shi Yan smiled and nodded.
“It’s really nice.” Little Zhao praised again.
after complimenting her, she couldn’t help but glance in shi yan’s direction.
Her black and long hair hung down to her waist, and she had a gentle and beautiful face. Her temperament was already elegant and out of this world. Now that she was wearing a fairy-like plain dress, she gave people the feeling that she was even more otherworldly.
“miss shi, are you going out today?”
shi yan was about to answer when she heard a voice.”yan!”
Jiang Rui had already entered the house with someone following behind her. Seeing Shi Yan eating breakfast, she said regretfully,”You’ve already had breakfast. I was going to ask you to go to the main building to eat.”
it was 7:30 a. m., shi yan’s usual breakfast time. jiang rui knew what time she usually ate breakfast, so shi yan could tell at a glance that she had made up her mind on the spot.
Shi Yan stopped scooping the porridge. She did not ask why Jiang Rui did not call her in advance. Instead, she smiled and asked, ” why did you suddenly ask me to go to the main building for breakfast? ”
usually, jiang rui liked to sleep in when she had nothing to do. when she woke up, it was already past the breakfast time at the jiang family’s old residence. she would always ask the kitchen to make something and send it to her courtyard to eat.
“I passed by your courtyard and suddenly remembered to call you. it’s all this brat’s fault. if he didn’t wake me up by calling me and asking me to have breakfast with him, i would still be chatting with zhou gong.”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Yan, this is my cousin Jiang Heng.”
“jiang heng, this is shi yan. she’s the same age as me. call her sister yan.”
Jiang Heng had been staring at Shi Yan in amazement.
when he looked at her during the day, he found that miss shi yan was even more beautiful.
hearing jiang rui’s words, he quickly greeted her, ” “Sister Yan,”
sister yan
this form of address made shi yan’s eyes pause.
It had been a long time since she had heard someone call her that.
“hello.” he smiled and nodded.
jiang heng felt that her every frown and smile was just right. no wonder even someone like fifth uncle would treat her differently.
“are you the only ones going for breakfast?” shi yan asked jiang rui.
yes, my brother went to the office early. I asked grandmother just now, and she said that the road was too slippery due to the rain last night, so she won’t go to the main building.
