Chapter 234 It's good that Miss Shen is willing to take responsibility.
The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Cao, who was yawning as he walked out, and both of them looked puzzled.
Recently, Shen Cao has been busy with the dock and Baicao Garden, and hasn't gotten up early for a long time.
"Father, Mother!" Shen Cao greeted his parents while yawning.
"Grass, why aren't you sleeping? Why are you up so early?"
“Starting today, she will learn some kung fu from me every morning—for self-defense!” Before Shen Cao could speak, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Good morning, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen." Ji Lingfeng greeted Mr. and Mrs. Shen with a smile.
Shen's mother looked at Shen's father, both of them showing worry on their faces. "Oh, is that so?"
They vaguely heard noises coming from the study yesterday. Mr. Shen went to the dock to inquire and learned that his daughter had almost gotten into trouble. They were so angry that they wanted to fight Aunt Li to the death.
However, the daughter acted as if nothing was wrong and didn't say anything to them.
They could only pretend not to know to avoid worrying their daughter.
Ji Lingfeng and Shen Cao had just finished breakfast when Shen Wan and the others got up.
Seeing Shen Cao and the others, they were all surprised. "Sister, you're here so early today." Shen Wan went to her mother's place to get a multigrain pancake.
"Okay, I'm leaving now, see you later." The two had agreed to meet at 3:45 AM, and after having breakfast, it was almost time.
Shen Cao thought that she hadn't exercised before and needed to warm up and learn something, so she decided to go and prepare first and didn't go with Shen Wan and the others.
Looking at the scene before her, Shen Cao asked with some confusion, "Brother Ji, aren't we going to the Hundred Herbs Garden? Why are we here?"
Ji Lingfeng led Shen Cao to a riverbank outside the city.
“Well, you’re a bit behind them now, so I’ll teach you separately.”
"Then why are we here?"
The scenery here is beautiful and it's peaceful.
"It's spacious here."
Fine, what can I do? He's a teacher.
However, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together in broad daylight if others see them.
Although she is a modern person from the 21st century, she still needs to be careful in this kind of environment.
Ji Lingfeng seemed to sense her concerns. "Don't worry, very few people come here." Ji Lingfeng had discovered this place by chance.
Not only is the scenery beautiful, but few people come here, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this place.
"Oh," Shen Cao replied softly, but she already had an idea in her mind.
The terrain here is flat, making it a good place to move around.
Shen Cao followed behind Ji Lingfeng, running slowly. Having not exercised for a long time, she started panting after only a short while.
Ji Lingfeng ran at a leisurely pace, about half a body length ahead of her, while constantly keeping an eye on what was happening behind him.
Seeing that Shen Cao was a little out of breath, he subtly slowed down his pace.
However, on her first day learning kung fu, Shen Cao wore her usual waist skirt, which was rather cumbersome and made it difficult to move around.
She had to hold up her skirt with her hands.
Suddenly, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, lost her balance, and fell forward.
"Ah!" she cried out in alarm.
Upon hearing the sound, Ji Lingfeng turned around and was immediately greeted by a refreshing jasmine fragrance. Then, he saw a figure rushing towards him.
He immediately adjusted his posture, shielding Shen Cao in his arms, and took on her entire weight on his own.
Shen Cao crashed heavily onto Ji Lingfeng, and she heard him groan.
She felt a little embarrassed that he had saved her again.
After getting up and straightening their clothes, she was about to apologize to him when she heard a soft laugh from across the room. "Miss Shen, your advances are making me a little embarrassed."
Who can tell her who is behind Ji Lingfeng's actions? That's not something Ji Lingfeng could say out loud.
But those words made Shen Cao blush. Although she was quite old in her previous life, she didn't have much experience in dating, let alone in interacting with the opposite sex.
"Um... I didn't mean to, this skirt is really inconvenient for movement." She pointed to the clothes she was wearing.
"Thank you so much just now, otherwise I would have fallen again."
"It was nothing, but Miss Shen, I was just teaching you kung fu, and you took advantage of me. Wouldn't that be a bad thing if word got out?"
"Um... I know how to..."
"It's good that Miss Shen is willing to take responsibility."
What? She meant she would keep it a secret, how did that turn into her taking responsibility?
Finally, because Shen Cao's clothes were inappropriate, the event had to end early.
After returning to the Hundred Herbs Garden, Shen Wan took a letter and called Shen Cao away.
Ji Lingfeng then took He Yu to the backyard. On the way, He Yu suddenly collapsed towards Ji Lingfeng.
Just as he was about to knock Ji Lingfeng down, Ji Lingfeng reacted quickly and turned around, brushing past He Yu in surprise.
With a loud thud, it crashed to the ground.
Ji Lingfeng acted as if nothing had happened, patted off imaginary dust, waved his sleeve, and turned to leave.
"Why!" Crane Feather's mournful cry echoed throughout the Hundred Herbs Garden.
He Wu and He Fei emerged from behind the pillar, clasped their hands in front of them, and looked at him with sympathy.
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful."
“I told him everything, but he wouldn’t let him try it. He just wouldn’t believe me.”
"They also said that Master's martial arts skills have declined and his reactions have slowed down."
In particular, he even fantasized that he could defeat his master, which was incredibly presumptuous of him!
The two shook their heads and turned to leave.
This guy doesn't understand at all. That's between the master and Miss Shen... what's that word again?
Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he had to admire his master's brilliant move.
Meanwhile, Ji Lingfeng was in his room, carefully studying the storybook. In the story, after the general said, "Miss, your embrace makes me a little embarrassed," the girl immediately blushed, picked up her handkerchief to cover her face, and looked at the general with shy eyes.
He recalled his conversation with Shen Cao earlier, and Shen Cao didn't seem shy at all.
After carefully reading the letter, Shen Cao happily said to Shen Wan, "Wan Yue said that the eighth day of the third month is an auspicious day, suitable for opening a business."
Shen Wan stretched out her fingers and counted the days, "Sister, there are still fifteen days until the eighth day of the third month."
"There's enough time!" There are still fifteen days left. Once Wei Siyu arrives, she can hand over most of the matters at the dock to him, and then she can focus on preparing for the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Based on the timeline, Wei Siyu should arrive in Xin'an County within the next few days.
At this moment, Wei Siyu, who was on her way, looked at the person opposite her with a mixture of surprise and helplessness, "Princess Wanyue, did you sneak out again?"
