After the two of them finished eating, Qi Jing suggested, “Do you want to go for a walk in the courtyard to aid digestion?”

He did have the habit of taking a walk after a meal, but he thought of inviting the girl along because he was worried that the topic just now would affect her mood and thus divert her attention.

Xia Yunshu was more than happy to go for a walk with Qi Jing.

Her eyes sparkled as she happily replied, “Sure!”

Qi Jing was actually a little affected by her smile.

There was a faint smile in his eyes, and his voice was low but gentle. “Let’s go.”

He stood up first and Xia Yunshu followed him with a smile.

Since Jin Garden was a manor, it was certainly not small.

Xia Yunshu stayed in Jin Garden for a week and hadn’t finished exploring.

The main reason was that her foot had been scratched by sand a few days ago, and she had been following Qi Jing’s instructions to recover properly.

Just as she thought about the injury on her foot, Qi Jing, who was walking in front, slowed down and walked beside her.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her foot. “Is your foot okay now?”

Xia Yunshu blinked her beautiful eyes.

Was this considered telepathy?

“It has fully recovered a long time ago.”

Seeing that he was still staring at her feet, Xia Yunshu thought that he didn’t believe her, so she said, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll jump a few times for you to see.”

After saying that, she really jumped a few times on the spot.

Qi Jing, “…”

He only felt that her feet were very small, and she was still very small when she put on her shoes, so he took a few more glances at her.

However, her two jumps proved that the injury on her feet had healed, and she looked a little cute, especially when her long hair and skirt fluttered when she jumped.

“That’s good.”

After saying that, she continued to walk forward.

Xia Yunshu did not realise that there was anything wrong with her actions just now.

She jogged two steps to catch up with him.

After walking for a while, her gaze fell on his hand that was hanging by his side.

He was still dressed in the same shirt and trousers, but he had taken off his tie.

His sleeves were half rolled up, revealing the well-defined muscles of half of his arm.

His wrist bones were beautiful, and his fingers were long and slender.

It looked very pleasing to the eye.

Who knows what it would feel like to hold his hand

With that in mind, Xia Yunshu’s hand reached out to his hand.

First, she hooked her pinkie around his pinkie.

Before he could react, she reached her hand into his palm and held his hand tightly.

Qi Jing did not realise when his hand was suddenly held.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at the hand that she was holding.

He stared at it for a few seconds before his gaze shifted to her face.

However, he had no intention of shaking her hand off.

He was simply asking her with his gaze.

Xia Yunshu raised her head slightly and met his gaze.

She smiled sweetly and said in a soft voice, “Brother, can I hold your hand as we stroll?”

Xia Yunshu almost had goosebumps as she asked in this tone.

Even though she knew she was acting a little pretentious, she did not find it annoying.

On the contrary, she felt that it was a different kind of feeling to flirt with Qi Jing.

Qi Jing’s gaze froze on her face for a few seconds.

Her eyes revealed anticipation and unapparent nervousness.

And Qi Jing saw it.

“… Okay.”

Forget it.

Children were sensitive.

If he rejected her, she would probably be sad again.

He held her hand.

Only when he held her hand tightly did he realise that her hand was very small and soft.

The two of them walked hand in hand.

The servants who occasionally passed by were shocked when they saw them.

However, the servants in Jin Garden were very well-behaved and did not make a fuss.

No matter how unsettling they felt like the stormy sea, they tried their best to remain calm on the surface and lowered their heads to pretend that they did not see anything.

They held hands as she wished for.

Xia Yunshu was very happy.

Even when she saw a rock, she felt that she saw something beautiful.

“Brother, I heard that you did very well in your studies when you were in school. Can I ask you if I come across a question that I don’t know how to answer?”

You must be ambitious to woo someone.

This kind of wooing might not be useful to others, but it was very suitable for her and Qi Jing..
