Chapter 44 Kite

In March, many flowers were blooming in the courtyard of Qi Mansion. Qi Sui was sitting on the veranda, her eyes fixed on a certain place, no one knew what she's thinking. Qiuyun stood aside and followed her gaze, and saw Shen Yu who's still teaching.

"Miss, are you looking at Madam Shen?"

"No." Qi Sui retracted her gaze, stood up straight, and said, "The weather is good today, I'll go find some kites."

"Miss, if you want a kite, wait for me to bring it to you."

Qiuyun turned around and left without waiting for Qi Sui to speak.

The school had become quiet, Shen Yu had just finished teaching the last poem and, thinking it was noon, she told the children to take a break. After a while, Mother Song brought a food box with her maid. Because Qi Sui had a special affection for Shen Yu, she loved her and took good care of her. She said with a smile, "Madam Shen, please eat first."

Shen Yu smiled and When she took the food box, she subconsciously looked behind her, then looked away in disappointment.

Mother Song saw through it at a glance and said with a faint smile: "The miss is in the back mountain now."

"Back mountain?" This is the first time that Shen Yu knew that there's such a place near the Qi Mansion.

"Madam Shen hasn't been to the back mountain yet. It was bought by the great master for the miss to go out for spring outing." When Mother Song mentioned this, she smiled and said,

"When the miss was a child, she always loved to go to the back mountain to play. Maybe it's the weather today. so she got interested and asked someone to get a few kites, and asked me to tell you that you can take the children to play with them in the afternoon."

"So that's how it is." Shen Yu nodded, looked up at the sky, and there's indeed a kite in the sky. It rose high up, only to fall slowly down again after a short while.

Qi Sui was fiddling with the kite with a heavy look on her face. Even Qiu Yun couldn't help but persuade her: "Girl, why don't I fly the kite and you can play with mine." Then she gave her the string in her hand.

Qi Sui shook her head and took the kite in her hand firmly, saying, "I'll try again, you go play first."

In the end, she still couldn't fly the kite. Even the system sighed when it saw it, "Host, your advantage Imay not be here."

"What do you know?"

"Your kite flies up and down again and again, and anyone who sees it will sigh."

Qi Sui rolled her eyes and said, "Don't dispite the young and poor!"

When Shen Yu arrived at the back mountain, she saw Qi Sui running back and forth with the kite, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Qiuyun took the children to fly a few other kites first, and Shen Yu went to find Qi Sui, said with a smile: "You should take a break first. It's easy to catch a cold if you're exposed to the wind after sweating."

Qi Sui looked up when she heard the voice. Noticing her presence, she asked her, "How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived." Shen Yu wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I asked Mother Song to prepare a bowl of soup. Drink it while it's hot."

Ruo Wei was carrying the lunch box, and Qi Sui took it directly, put it on the ground and sat on the floor. She brought out the soup and finished drinking in three or two sips.

"You should eat first before playing."

"Now is a good time to eat." Qi Sui supported her arms behind her back, looked up at Shen Yu, and then patted the grass beside her, "Sister...Madam Shen Sit down too." Because Ruo Wei was watching them, she couldn't call her sister in person, so she quickly changed her words.

Shen Yu is wearing a plain white dress today, which set off her temperament very well, as pure as pear blossoms in spring. She did not reject Qi Sui's proposal and sat next to her very naturally.

Ruowei tactfully went to find Qiuyun to play together and helped look after the children.

"Are you worried about something?" Shen Yu asked suddenly.

Qi Sui secretly marveled at her psychological master, and asked her: "How do you know?"

"I noticed that the kite in your hand never flies high, maybe you have troubles in your heart."

Qi Sui smiled awkwardly and said honestly: "It's just because I can't fly a kite."

The breeze blew across Shen Yu's face, ruffling her hair. Qi Sui raised her hand to smooth it out for her and said, "When I came back, I saw Zhang Wenchi standing outside the mansion."

"Yeah." Shen Yu lowered her eyes and turned to look at her: "What is he doing here?"

"I don't know." Qi Sui really likes to play with Shen Yu's fingers, which are white and slender. Her voice is flat: "He asked me if the the apricot drink yesterday was delicious?"

Shen Yu retracted her fingers unconsciously, but Qi Sui quickly grabbed them and stopped her from moving.

"Qi Sui, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I know."

After all, Shen Yu had never met Zhang Wenchi, so no matter how you looked at it, it"s Zhang Wenchi who intentionally approached her.

"Are you angry?" Shen Yu looked at her carefully, then told her everything that happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Qi Sui fell into her arms and said, "How could I be angry with you? I'm just afraid that Zhang Wenchi did this on purpose."

Shen Yu gently touched her earlobe with one hand and let her fiddle with the other hand.

"Forget it. I can't guess what he's thinking anyway, so I might as well let it go."

Shen Yu replied tacitly, "Let's make the best of it."

Qi Sui raised her eyebrows and fixed her eyes on Shen Yu's face, her fingers gently tickled her palm.

Shen Yu chuckled and said, "Itchy." But she didn't stop her.

Qi Sui, on the other hand, pushed her fingers slowly into her palm, looked at Shen Yu's face intently, and asked carefully, "Will Sister hate this?"

Her fingers touched the skin of her forearm, and Shen Yu was caught off guard. She frowned and shook her head slightly. Qi Sui seemed to be encouraged. She no longer touch it lightly with her fingers, but put her whole palm on it. She smiled and said, "Sister, your arms are so thin."

Shen Yu turned her face to the side, and the tips of her ears were a little red. Qi Sui knew when to stop and didn't dare to touch further up, but when she saw Shen Yu blushing with embarrassment, she put her hand on her chest.

Shen Yu seemed very surprised. She didn't dare to move her hands, She just stared at her blankly and said, "If someone else saw us..."

"No, look back if you don't believe me." Qi Sui was very grasp.

Shen Yu looked back and found Qiuyun, Ruowei and the others are not flying kites here.

Qi Sui told her: "Qiu Yun is the most reliable person."

Shen Yu blushed completely, and wanted to stop in a panic, but Qi Sui held her down. She smiled and said, "Sister, don't you have any thoughts about me?"

Shen Yu didn't dare to deny it, but it would be embarrassing for her to admit it, so she stammered and couldn't speak. Qi Sui thought her reaction is really cute, so she moved her hand up to her collar and led her hand inside. Shen Yu felt shy and had been self-disciplined and polite since childhood. She had never done anything so bold. She anxiously called out to Qi Sui, "Stop moving."

Seeing that she's getting anxious, Qi Sui smiled and said, "I knew you couldn't stand teasing like this, so I will take you to my room."

"How can this be possible?"

"You have been there before, so why not?"

Shen Yu lowered her eyebrows, her eyes wandering, and whispered: "Not yet."

Qi Sui put her hands on her face and said helplessly: "Wait a little longer."

The two of them stayed there quietly until Qiuyun and Ruowei came back with the children.

"Miss, are you still going to fly the kite?"

Hearing Qiuyun asking her, Qi Sui quickly stood up, pulled up Shen Yu, and said with a smile: "Let's play next time."
