Chapter 2017: Liking

Ah Zuo really did not want to disturb the two people who were spinning around.

Looking at the situation, Miss Bo must have settled His Highness.

Ah Zuo was happy for Miss Bo.

Looking at the two of them who had become silly after falling in love, Ah Zuo could not help but shake his head.

Ah You came to look for Ye Jie. They still had to continue their inspection later. Seeing Ah Zuo standing at the door furtively, he walked over and patted his shoulder.

“What are you doing?”

Ah Zuo made a gesture to silence himself. “Shhh…”

The people in the room had already noticed the commotion outside.

Bo Cixue withdrew from Ye Jie’s arms and as her feet landed on the ground, her slender body shook like an old man.

Ye Jie grabbed her again quickly.

Ah You pushed open the door. “Your Highness, we’re going back to the countryside later…”

Before he could finish, Ah You wanted to turn invisible automatically when he saw the slender figure leaning in His Highness’ arms.

Ah Zuo muttered behind him, “I told you not to talk.”

Ah You glared at Ah Zuo.

Bo Cixue looked up from Ye Jie’s arms with a red face and pouted. “I dug myself a hole.”

Ye Jie could not help laughing and helped her to sit on the bed.

“I’m going to the village later. I’ll be back tonight. You can rest here.”

Bo Cixue shook her head. “I only have three days of leave. I don’t want to meet you at night. Besides, you’re tired. I don’t want you to go back and forth!” She blinked at him playfully. “I quite like the village. Do what you need to do. I promise I won’t disturb you.”

…

Bo Cixue took Ye Jie’s car and went to the countryside again.

Ye Jie’s schedule was very tight and Bo Cixue was no longer that lovesick young girl, so she naturally did not disturb his work.

The air and scenery in the countryside were good. Bo Cixue walked around and saw a primary school halfway up the mountain. She walked along the path.

The primary schools in the village were naturally incomparable to those in the big city. The classrooms and playgrounds looked very simple.

It was time for class and many children were playing in the playground.

“Fairy Sister!”

The girl who had cried under the tree yesterday ran over excitedly when she saw Bo Cixue.

“Hello.” Bo Cixue took out chocolate from her bag and gave it to the young girl and the children surrounding her.

“Fairy Sister, you helped us put the bird’s nest yesterday and you gave us such delicious snacks today. You’re really nice. Can I invite you to our house tonight?”

Bo Cixue touched the young girl’s hair. “Sister has something on at night. Can I go again if there’s a chance in the future?”

“Okay, okay. Sister, you’re so pretty. Can you sing? Our music teacher is sick and asked for leave. Can you teach us on her behalf?”

Bo Cixue looked at the group of cute children in front of her. They must like music class very much.

“I’ll go tell your principal. If he thinks it’s possible, I’ll teach you.”

The young girl brought Bo Cixue to the principal enthusiastically.

The principal nodded in agreement.

Hence, Bo Cixue stayed in school for almost a day.

In the evening, Bo Cixue carried the only guitar in school and played a song while surrounded by a group of children.

The children were very learned. They sang with her as she played.

Ye Jie had finished his work during the day but did not see Bo Cixue. Ah Zuo came over and told him, “Miss Bo went to the school halfway up the mountain.”

When Ye Jie arrived at school, he saw Bo Cixue playing the guitar and singing with the children.

The setting sun shone on her, making her look so pure and beautiful.

She did not have the delicate aura of a rich young lady. She sat on the ground and looked at the children with gentle and clear eyes.

Bo Cixue was about to play the next song when she looked up and saw the man standing under the basketball hoop.

He leaned on it, looking at her with his dark eyes slightly narrowed, making them look even more deep and narrow. The moment her eyes met his, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face, his entire face seemed to be lively and charming.

Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat.

Bo Cixue shot him a look, telling him not to wait for her there. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in the mood to play.

Ye Jie understood her gaze and stood up to leave.

Bo Cixue could not bear to let him wait and played a song to bid the child farewell.

The children could not bear to leave her and Bo Cixue only left after hugging them.

Ye Jie was waiting on the way down the mountain and Bo Cixue saw his thin figure from afar.

She jogged over and jumped onto his back.

He did not turn back, but grabbed her knees in time.

“I’m not asking you to carry me.”

She struggled to get off his back but he did not let go.

She lay on his back and looked at his perfect handsome face. “Aren’t you tired?”

“No.” He glanced at her. “What about you?”

Bo Cixue shook her head. “I got along quite well with the children today. Did you know that I was likable when I was young, except for you…” Then, she looked at him bitterly. “I only realize now that I was really tolerant.”

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows. “You were chubby when you were young and seemed to be even cuter.”

“You didn’t like to play with me when I was cute. I was always the one chasing after you.”

Ye Jie tightened his hold on her knees. His fingertips were cold all year round and seeped into her skin through the thin fabric of her clothes. She felt a little numb. Just when she was in a daze, his clear voice floated into her ear. “Cixue, do you remember what you called me when I was young?”

Bo Cixue looked up at the sky, her face turning red. “How many years has it been since I was young? How would I remember?”

“You really don’t remember?”

Bo Cixue looked at his cold and handsome face and bit her lip. “I remember you didn’t like me calling you that when you were young.”

“You were several years younger than me. I really didn’t dare to have any improper thoughts at that time.”

Bo Cixue hugged his neck tightly, her soft red lips pressing against his ear. “Brother Husband.”

Calling him that when he grew up felt completely different from when he was young.

She did not know any shame when she was young and only liked him and wanted to be friends with him.

But now, after she shouted these words, her face turned red.

Ye Jie looked at her with a smile in his dark eyes. She did not dare to look at him and buried her face in his neck, rubbing against it shyly.

“Don’t look at me. I suddenly feel that I was really embarrassing when I was young. No wonder you avoided me when you heard me call you that.”

“Cixue.” He stopped and looked at her.

Bo Cixue looked up from his neck. Her exquisite and fair face was red at the moment and looked different. She looked back at him with watery eyes. “What?”

He smirked, his voice clear and gentle. “I like it now.”
