Chapter 701 - 342 _1
Qian Yixiu took the dry towel, and Cai Yun, Cai Yue, and Blue Bead left one after another. Today was Blue Bead’s turn to stay up through the night. After Cai Yun and Cai Yue went to the back courtyard to rest, Blue Bead stayed in the East Room.
Liang Jinzhao sat down at the table, pulled out a book from his chest, and placed it down to read while Yixiu dried his hair for him. With his tall figure, his head partially blocked her view, and since he held the book low and the table obstructed it, she couldn’t tell what he was reading.
No matter what book it was, loving to study was the mark of a good youngster. No wonder at such a young age, he had been capable of devising that formation, and became a second-ranking official by the age of twenty-two. Aunt Qian also admired a good child who loved learning.
But his hair was so dark and dense that despite drying it for a long while, it was still only half-dry. She thought how great it would be if she had a hairdryer.
Getting impatient, her hand grew a bit heavy, and Liang Jinzhao’s head tilted back slightly. At last, she caught a glimpse of the lower pages of the book—he was actually reading a martial arts book.
Qian Yixiu, her face blushing red, threw the towel onto his head and scolded him, "You’re going to die, reading this sort of book.
He caught her hand and stood up to explain, "I usually don’t dare to read it, as it makes me feel uncomfortable. Today, well, haha, we’ll learn as we go, there are especially many moves in here."
"What are you talking about, so annoying." Speaking so straightforwardly made thick-skinned Aunt Qian also embarrassingly shy, she pulled away from his hand and walked to one side.
Liang Jinzhao came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her neck gently, where a fragrant floral scent lingered.
