Chapter 85: True Ability

His fingers trembled slightly, and he wanted to press her into his arms. It was not the kind of embrace that last for a few seconds. He wanted to embed her onto his skin.

Frightened by his own thoughts, Zhao Zhan quivered and came back to his senses.

He rushed into the courtyard, drew water from the well, and poured it all over himself. It was not until he had completely suppressed the thoughts in his mind that Zhao Zhan sat down by the well, exhausted.

He actually had the thought of hurting her?

He had actually wanted to see her eyes redden in his arms for a moment…

Zhao Zhan shook his head.

Yue Jiaojiao, who was sitting by the bed, heard the sound of running water coming from the courtyard with a confused look on her face. When she finally realized what he was doing, she looked helpless.

She didn’t intend to teach him at first. She just wanted to make an exception and reward him a little today.

In the end, he was scared away just like that…

Not only could this person endure it, but it seemed that he was also not an ordinary person. Otherwise, why would he need buckets of cold water to be poured on his body unceasingly to suppress that evil burning passion?

Should she not tease him like this in the future?

Or should she get him books to study?

There should have been such practical cases in ancient times, but they were not as realistic as in modern times.

It was rare for Yue Jiaojiao to feel conflicted.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw two main rooms. Previously, Zhao Zhan had been sleeping on the floor in her room, probably because he had no other choice. Now, there were clearly two rooms, but Zhao Zhan had turned the other bedroom into a study.

Yue Jiaojiao had thought that he was hinting at something.

Now that she realized that there was an extra blanket in her room, she realized that Zhao Zhan only wanted to lie in the same room as her, even if it meant sleeping on the floor.

Yue Jiaojiao was a little helpless. She got up and went to take out Zhao Zhan’s clothes and handed them over. “Change your clothes. Don’t wear these wet clothes. You’ll catch a cold easily.”

Zhao Zhan didn’t expect her to suddenly appear.

Especially when she saw how embarrassed he was, it was as if all the dirty thoughts in his heart could not be hidden. Zhao Zhan silently took the clothes and went to the storeroom to change. When he came out, he went straight into the kitchen.

For lunch, he made duck blood tofu.

As Yue Jiaojiao was sitting at the dining table, she suddenly recalled the events of the previous night and asked, “Zhao Zhan, have you found the person who deliberately stained our tofu?”

Zhao Zhan’s eyes lit up as he raised his head. “Aren’t you angry at me?”

“Why should I be angry with you?” Yue Jiaojiao found it a little funny. “This is your own body. As long as you think there’s no problem, it’s fine. I won’t be angry.”

It seemed like his sweetheart didn’t know about the dirty thoughts he had hidden in his heart.

It should have been something to be happy about, but Zhao Zhan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. However, he still perked up and answered truthfully, “We haven’t found anything yet. Everyone said that they didn’t see anyone go in. ”

“However, they can’t hide which family in the village usually eats meat from others. I asked Dashan to talk to more people during work today. When he sees who killed the chickens and ducks and drained their blood, it will be easier to find the culprit. When I find out who it is, I’ll definitely make them suffer.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Zhan picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and put them in her bowl. He nodded meekly. “When the time comes, I’ll make them talk.”

After lunch, Zhao Zhan went to buy the ingredients for his meal and then headed back to Willow Village without stopping to rest.

After all, it was to build his own house. The more he helped, the more money he could save to buy things for his sweetheart.
