Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 72 Zhuangzi: Mutual Support

When everyone heard the female voice, they all turned their heads.

Zhang Sui also looked over.

This voice sounds like Ruby's!
Sure enough, Hongyu poked her head out from the archway and looked inside with a nervous look on her face.

Zhang Sui hurriedly put down his things and went out to meet him.

It’s finally here!

It's been several days?

Ever since the lady promised the marriage, Hongyu has only spoken to him once, and hasn't even sent him any food in the evening!
When Hongyu saw Zhang Sui running over, her face turned red with embarrassment and she quickly retracted her head.

The other members looked at this scene and made joking noises of “Huh~” one after another.

Many people were envious.

"That's the second young lady's personal maid, Hongyu, right?"

"How many times have you come to see Bo Cheng?"

"Look at her face just now, it's as red as a monkey's butt. Could it be that she is interested in Bocheng?"

"Hahaha, that's normal. Although Bocheng lives with us, he's already the head secretary and is deeply loved by the lady. You guys, learn from him!"

Everyone soon quieted down again, with some expressions showing that they could no longer hold back.

They thought of women.

They want women too.

Some of them were also tired of doing the same thing.

Zhang Sui quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Hongyu has retreated to the ancient well.

She was carrying a wooden box.

When Zhang Sui rushed over, her little face was still swollen and red, as if it was about to bleed.

As she opened the wooden box and took out a plate of dishes, Hongyu complained, "You are a bunch of people who talk nonsense. Who is interested in you? I, I just followed the orders of the lady. I said you were tired today, so I brought you some food to reward you."

Zhang Sui sat by the ancient well and said with a smile, "So you really have no interest in me?"

Hongyu took out three dishes and gave Zhang Sui a glare.

She really wanted to say, only the devil is interested in you!
But I thought, my wife has already promised the marriage, and I shouldn't be too hypocritical.

What if this fool takes it seriously and really thinks that I am not interested in him and ignores me? Then I won’t know who to cry to.

Thinking of this, Hongyu glared at Zhang Sui and said while wiping the edge of the ancient well with her handkerchief, "You are just not interested in me?"

Zhang Sui took a large bowl of corn rice, picked up some vegetables and started eating, and said with a smile: "Of course it's interesting!"

"I just like you."

"Otherwise, how can I ask you to marry me, Madam?"

Hongyu wiped the edge of the ancient well with a handkerchief, then sat down and said with a red face: "I, I naturally like you too."

Zhang Sui asked back: "Why didn't you come to see me these few days?"

Ruby bit her lip and looked away.

If I don't look for you, you won't come to look for me?
But thinking that he was busy these days, Hongyu didn't mention the matter any further, but watched Zhang Sui eat quietly.

Zhang Sui pointed at the dishes and asked, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together?"

Hongyu shook her head and said, "I have to go back and serve Madam and the Second Miss dinner later. I will eat after they finish. This has become a habit."

Zhang Sui looked at Hongyu's pretty little face, the redness had not yet faded. Zhang Sui suddenly reached out his hand, and in Hongyu's astonished gaze, he reached out his hand and held her left hand.

Hongyu didn't dodge.

After a brief moment of astonishment, she lowered her head and stared at the hem of her skirt in a daze.

Her face, which had been about to calm down, blushed again, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "You lecher, there are still troops in the archway, you are not ashamed, but I still have dignity."

Seeing that Hongyu didn't move her hand, Zhang Sui became bolder. He simply put down his bowl and chopsticks, held Hongyu's small hand with both hands, and said, "My wife has promised you to me, but we haven't married yet. What if they see me holding my wife's hand?"

Hongyu glanced at Zhang Sui, spat and said, "Shameless!"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I am still timid in front of my wife. Do I need a woman like you to speak up for me in bed from now on?"

Hongyu pointed her head at Zhang Sui and said with a snort, "Just making an excuse."

Despite saying so, a smile still appeared on Hongyu's red face.

He's not that stupid.

At least, she knows how to make a strong argument. Thinking of the animation of the lady she had seen before, Hongyu said again: "If you want to marry me, I, I also need a betrothal gift."

Zhang Sui hummed, then said seriously, "What do you want as a betrothal gift? Tell me, and I'll do my best to make it happen."

Hongyu took a deep breath and said, "I, I want you to draw me a portrait like the one you drew for my wife before, a portrait that can move."

After saying it, Hongyu felt a little regretful.

I feel like my requests are a bit too much.

The lady is the lady, how can I compare to her?

Even though I will be his wife in the future, I can't ask for that.

Thinking of this, Hongyu said: "Well, it's also possible..."

Hongyu originally wanted to say that she could change to a simpler one.

But before she could finish her words, Zhang Sui smiled and said, "That's it? Don't worry, I'll draw it for you when I have time!"

"I want hundreds of your drawings to form your animation."

"When we are old, we will show it to our grandchildren."

"Let them know that when you were young, you were also beautiful and charming."

When Hongyu heard what Zhang Sui said, her heart felt as if it was filled with honey.

This man is very thoughtful.

Hongyu lowered her head and nodded heavily, saying, "If you are happy and have time, I will do whatever you say."

Zhang Sui looked at Hongyu, who looked ready to be picked, so he stood up and sat next to her.

Looking at her pretty face so close to him, like a ripe apple, Zhang Sui moved his mouth closer.

Hongyu noticed Zhang Sui's movements, and quickly moved to the side, looking towards the archway guiltily.

The two soldiers at the archway had left early to eat.

But even so, Hongyu felt that there were eyes all around her and she almost cried, "There are people around, what if, what if I get seen, I, I——"

Seeing that Hongyu was about to cry, Zhang Sui pulled back, took her little hand in his palm and played with it, saying, "Don't be nervous, I won't kiss you. Even if I want to kiss you, I will wait until you want me to kiss you."

Hongyu didn't dare to look at Zhang Sui, but she didn't say anything either.

Seeing this, Zhang Sui thought of the idiom his high school female deskmate had said to him, "I think you're a little too nervous, sister. In fact, kissing on the cheek is a very common thing between us husband and wife."

"It's not just people, in fact, other animals are everywhere."

"As human beings, are we not as good as animals?"

Hongyu glanced at Zhang Sui suspiciously and asked, "Where?"

Zhang Sui said: "Fish, you know fish, right?"

Hongyu spat and said, "You are indeed a pervert. How can you kiss a fish?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Zhuangzi, you know Zhuangzi, right?"

Hongyu hummed and said, "So?"

Zhang Sui said: "Zhuangzi once said, 'When a spring dries up, the fish will be together on land, breathing on each other to keep each other moist and nourishing each other with their saliva.'"

"After the spring dried up, the two fish blew bubbles at each other to survive."

"One fish spits out saliva from its mouth, and another fish sucks it in."

"Tell me, is this a kiss?"

"Besides, this is even more intimate than a kiss. I'm drooling over it!"

"I just saw your face from the side, it looks like a peach blossom, so I wanted to kiss you."

"Instead of kissing you on the mouth and then eating your saliva."

"I have been very restrained!"

Her ruby-colored eyes widened.

There are such shameless people in this world!
Can you explain it so forcefully?
Hongyu hurriedly pulled her hand away from Zhang Sui and quickly left with the empty wooden box.

This scoundrel.

If I continue to stay with him, I don’t know what shameless words he will say!
Zhang Sui hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to take the bowl and chopsticks back?"

Hongyu then stopped and glared at him from a distance, saying, "I'll come back tomorrow to get it, you scoundrel!"
