Chapter 484 Kissing and Kissing

Chapter 484 Kissing and Kissing
In the evening, there are fewer guests in the library, and people who read late at night are not welcome here. If there is a book that you really want to read at night, you can rent it and take it home to read.

It is Shichun's responsibility to clean and tidy up the lobby.

The third young lady, Dong Liangying, was fiddling with an abacus and doing the math behind the counter.

Shi Chun gathered the books scattered on the tables and moved them upstairs in piles.

The second lady Dong Liangyu upstairs sorted the piles of books that were sent to her into different categories, and put the messy books back in place every day.

This was not Shi Chun's job, but Shi Chun still had work in his eyes. After the last batch of books were carried up and put down, he saw Dong Liangyu holding a pile of books in one hand and placing them one by one with the other hand. It was quite strenuous. He knew that the other party was not a cultivator, so he quickly walked over and offered his hand to help, "I'll carry it."

This is not the first time that such help has been provided.

Dong Liangyu was indeed struggling to hold them all, as she was holding too much in the pile. When she handed them to the other person, she felt a little unsteady. Then Shi Chun's hand happened to hold her hands.

The man felt the tenderness of the woman's hands.

The woman felt the masculinity of the man's hands.

The two of them looked at each other subconsciously.

The man suddenly realized that something was wrong and that it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, so he quickly let go.

The woman also realized that something was wrong and almost let go, almost throwing the stack of books away, then hurriedly rushed to pick them up again.

The man also realized that the books were about to be scattered all over the floor, so he quickly reached out to pick them up.

So the two of them worked in vain, and Shi Chun held each other's hands again, and this time they stood closer, their bodies pressed against the pile of books, their faces were so close that they were only a fist away, and they could smell each other's breath.

If there weren't for the pile of books between them, their faces would have been pressed together, and they might even have hugged each other.

This was the first time Shi Chun saw the details of the beauty mole between Dong Liangyu's eyebrows so closely.

After understanding the situation of the two, Dong Liangyu's breathing became disordered and his ears felt hot. After exchanging a glance with Shi Chun, he quickly dodged and stepped back, pulling his hands away from the other's hands in time.

Then he quickly took a book from the pile of books that Shi Chun was holding and went to find a place to put it back.

Shi Chun was not a piece of wood, but on the surface he looked like a piece of wood, as if nothing had happened. He followed the second young lady, who was dressed as a young lady, holding a book as usual.

Unlike usual, Dong Liangyu walked around the bookshelves several times but couldn't find the book in his hand. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly from time to time.

She is in poor health and has an occasional coughing problem, especially when she is overly emotional, she coughs more frequently.

The unfortunate Shi Chun followed her around in circles. If she continued like this, it would be dark. He immediately said, "Let me see. I might know where it is."

"Huh?" Dong Liangyu blushed when she came back to her senses. She grew up here and knew the location of every book. She was just confused just now. Now that she was awake, she didn't need Shi Chun's guidance. She walked quickly and found her place on the bookshelf.

Then, as usual, Shi Chun followed her with a book in his arms.

After putting down one stack, Shi Chun went to get the second stack. At this time, both of them had calmed down.

But Dong Liangyu couldn't stop fantasizing. She thought about the last time Shi Chun picked up food for her. She didn't know whether she was hinting at something or saying it explicitly. This interpretation tormented her for a long time.

The warmth of the handshake just now was also imprinted in her heart. This kind of memory would be difficult to disappear without the trivialities of life after being together.

When she suggested to her family that they hire the other party, apart from practical considerations, she couldn't deny that there was a factor of personal attraction involved.

People like Shi Chun, who have experienced countless life-and-death battles and are now very rich, mingle with ordinary people. No matter how refined he pretends to be or how poorly he dresses, a certain temperament will occasionally bloom. If you pay close attention, you will find that the self-restraint in his every move, coupled with his good looks, has a kind of appealing charm compared to ordinary people.

Although her health is not very good, she is a normal woman. She is 26 years old both physically and mentally. No matter how much she reads, she still has a desire to bloom. This is human nature.

"What are your plans for the future?" Dong Liangyu, who was putting the books back in place, suddenly broke the silence.

Shi Chun was stunned. They rarely had such small talk, so he didn't think much about it and replied casually, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Dong Liangyu: "You are not young anymore, don't you plan to get married?"

She mustered up her courage to say this, testing him.

Shi Chun's answer was clear and concise, "I don't have that plan."

Hearing this, Dong Liangyu realized that he might have overthought the food, but he still asked, "Why?"

Shi Chun: "I don't want to mislead anyone."

Dong Liangyu: "Is it because you have no money?"

Shi Chun followed closely behind her and said calmly, "Maybe."

"Money is important, but you don't need to take it too seriously. Just like in our family, my father repeatedly told my sister and I that when we look for a partner, character comes first..."

The young lady seemed to have lost her usual reserve and said a lot of things that were unusual for her, like how she had never seen the outside world.

Shi Chun didn't quite understand why she suddenly said so much, just because of the touch just now?

It was not until the next day when a guest came to the library that he vaguely understood something.

It was mid-morning of the next day. Dong Wenshu, who had not been home for a few days, came back. He walked in, stroking his three strands of black-ink beard, looking still as energetic as ever.

Next to him, there was a handsome man in white. Shi Chun, who was pouring tea, had just noticed this when the man in white smiled at Dong Liangying, who was looking at him in surprise from behind the counter and said, "Liangying."

Dong Liangying also recognized the other person, the son of his maternal uncle, Fan Wuzhe. He was far away from home and had not seen him for several years. When he recognized him, he could not help but asked in surprise, "Cousin, why are you here?"

After saying that, he quickly came out from behind the counter and saluted.

Fan Wuzhe looked at her with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up. I almost didn't recognize you."

Dong Wenshu raised his hand and walked forward, indicating that he could talk in the inner house if he had anything to say. When he passed through the library, he turned his head to glance at Shi Chun who was busy, and hesitated a little.

Dong Liangying temporarily handed over the front desk work to Shi Chun and ran to the backyard.

Naturally, there was a lot of noise from the brothers and sisters following.

When it was almost time for dinner, Dong Liangze also came back, and naturally there was another lively atmosphere among the cousins.

After the excitement, Dong Wenshu went into the kitchen and called his son in to whisper, "From now on, don't let Wang Ping enter the inner house to eat with the women in the family. We need to avoid suspicion. When his meal is ready, send it to the front hall and let him eat alone."

Dong Liangyi, who was working nearby, stopped working when he heard this.

Dong Liangze nodded.

After the meal was ready, as Dong Wenshu said, Dong Liangze took the prepared and portioned meal to the front hall and asked Shi Chun to eat in the front hall. He went upstairs and called his second sister Dong Liangyu to eat, and he took over the post.

Seeing Dong Liangyu's beauty and grace, Fan Wuzhe's eyes lit up and he became even more polite.

Dong Liangyu became more reserved.

Halfway through the meal, Dong Wenshu suddenly said, "Your cousin hasn't been to the big city for many years. Liangyu, why don't you accompany your cousin to walk around the city this afternoon?"

After hearing this, the eldest lady Dong Liangyi and the third lady Dong Liangying both looked puzzled, and they both quietly looked at Dong Liangyu's reaction.

Dong Liangyu's knuckles turned white from gripping the chopsticks. Refusing was not the way to entertain guests, so he lowered his head and hummed.

So after dinner, Fan Wuzhe in white and Dong Liangyu in blue came out hand in hand, looking like a perfect match of a golden boy and a jade girl. They walked past Shi Chun and went out together.

This scene caused a burst of whispers in the library.

The second young lady of the library rarely appears in public, especially when traveling on the street with a man. In addition, due to Dong Wenshu's strict family education, everyone knows that it is impossible for her to make such an appearance without Dong Wenshu's consent. This is tantamount to announcing to everyone that the second young lady is already taken.

The news quickly spread among the neighbors that the old man in the library was going to marry off his daughter, and the focus of discussion was why he didn't marry the eldest daughter first.

After Dong Liangying returned to the front desk of the library, Shi Chun took the opportunity to ask Dong Liangze while sorting a pile of books and going upstairs, "Is the person in white clothes just now your cousin?"

Dong Liangze patted the pile of books he had put down and said, "Maybe we will be even closer. He will become my second brother-in-law."

Shi Chun was surprised and asked, "I heard that close relatives can easily affect the health of the next generation. Isn't it taboo in your family?"

Dong Liangze didn't care. "It's just that there is a saying, but it doesn't mean that there are problems with all of them. People who are not close relatives will also have problems. Besides, you know my father. He is a man of old principles and thinks that it is a good thing to have a close relationship."

Shi Chun was still puzzled, "Your eldest sister hasn't even married yet, why did she marry your second sister first?"

Dong Liangze was not in a position to tell outsiders that his eldest sister had been engaged, but he did not treat Shi Chun as an outsider, so he only told her one side of the story. "My uncle sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that he was worried that the two families would stop communicating after their parents passed away. In short, he hoped to strengthen the relationship and hoped that one of my three daughters could be his daughter-in-law. My father also thought it was a good thing. After all, my second sister's health was so bad. My father was worried that she would be bullied if she married someone else. With her own uncle watching over her, she would not be too wronged. My father has not been seen these days because he went to my uncle's house to finalize the matter."

Shi Chun said "oh" and remembered what Dong Liangyu said yesterday, and vaguely understood something.

But the matter sank deep in his heart and did not stir up anything in his mind. He just went downstairs to do what he had to do.

Huang Yingying, who was looking after the Bai's Rice Shop with her clerk, was taking a nap on a recliner when she suddenly heard a chattering noise outside the door. Upon listening carefully, she heard someone talking about an old man in the bookstore wanting to marry his daughter off, and that the second young lady had gone out shopping with the man.

It has to be said that the spread of the big mouths in this city behind the scenes is powerful.

Huang Yingying opened her eyes, got up quickly, and shouted to the shop assistant, "Watch the shop, I'm going to go out and collect a bill."

After saying that, he ran away, and the guys shouted at him several times but failed to make him turn back.

Just as Huang Yingying herself said to Wu Jinliang, it was too boring in this city. He was a person who loved excitement and couldn't help but feel itchy when he heard that there was excitement somewhere.

The purpose of this trip was not for anything else but to see who the ideal husband of the second young lady of the library was, and to see who could make that old conservative easily give in.

He was very familiar with Dazhi City, so after asking and making inquiries, he soon found Fan Wuzhe and Dong Liangyu who were shopping together.

In order to see clearly, Huang Yingying deliberately walked around in front of the two people and walked towards them.

After seeing Fan Wuzhe's face clearly, Huang Yingying's expression suddenly became calm and she pretended not to look at him. She turned her head and turned to the stall next to her to ask the price.

When Fan Wuzhe's eyes met Huang Yingying, the smile on his face instantly disappeared. He glanced at Huang Yingying out of the corner of his eye, and was slightly relieved when he saw that she didn't seem to recognize him. After walking with Dong Liangyu, he lost his previous ease in his conversation.

Huang Yingying, who was looking through things at the stall, waited until the two men walked away before turning her head to look at their backs, and some memories came to her mind.

It was a scene not too long ago. About a month ago, when he and his men were delivering sacred rice to the mountain in the center of the city, they passed by the gate of a courtyard and accidentally saw a man in the courtyard who was shackled, handcuffed and shackled, and had been beaten and tortured beyond recognition.

He still remembered that painful face clearly. Although he was completely different from the neat and tidy man in white in front of him, it was because this man was with Dong Liangyu that he was sure that the man in white who was being tortured on the mountain was the one just now.

When that man was being tortured on the mountain, he also looked up and saw him. He didn't know whether the other party recognized him or not. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to react, he was in such a situation on the mountain and probably didn't have the mind to remember him.

After having this thought, he came up with another idea. He stood up, stroked his moustache and chuckled, "There is a way to pay the debt!"

He raised his eyebrows, turned around and headed straight for the city gate.
