The candlelight was imprinted with Jin Se's figure, it was thrown straight onto the white wall, the girl holding the brush drew on a piece of paper.
”Come closer... Don't hurt your eyes. ” Li Luo moved closer to the light of the candle, allowing him to see everything more clearly and write even faster.
”Speaking of osmanthus flowers, I recall that Third Elder Sister had once said that the reason she liked osmanthus flowers was not only because they were delicious, but also because they were delicious! Third Elder Sister is a complete glutton! ”
Jin Se covered his mouth and laughed.
”Third Young Miss is indeed a smart person! ”Very straightforward.” Li Luo expressed his praise for Qi Zhen.
Unknowingly, he wrote an entire piece of the letter. Jin Se carefully folded the letter and placed it inside the letter, ”Put it here … Tomorrow, second brother will come to collect it. ”
Li Luo nodded his head, and put down the candle in his hand, ”I will go get some water to help young lady rest!”
Jin Se bent his neck and stretched lazily, ”En, go quickly, I'm also tired and want to go to sleep earlier.”
”The sun is warm these days, and Miss is getting lazier!”
Li Luo laughed at Jin Se, then took the basin and left in a hurry.
”Miss, do you want to get up and wash before going to sleep?”
But when Li Luo entered the room, she discovered that Jin Se was deep in sleep. She had her head down, and was lying on the table.
Li Luo saw that she was not sleeping soundly, so he walked over and gently shook Jin Se's arm.
Jin Se woke up from his daze, ”Oh … I fell asleep while I was lying on the table! ”
”I just said that young ladies like to sleep. Look, they sleep so fast!” Li Luo took the handkerchief and softened it in the hot water, then handed it over to Jin Se.
”Wipe your face, girl.”
Jin Se took the handkerchief and carefully washed his face, then took off his shoes and socks to soak his feet before finally falling asleep at ease.
The next day was still Qi Zhen, rampaging about. In his sleep, Jin Se only heard Qi Zhen shouting, ”Little Sister Jin Se!” Then, he heard Li Luo say in a low voice, ”Third Young Miss, our lady has not woken up yet!”
At this time, Jin Se could not sleep. It seemed that the sky was already bright outside, and the light shining through the curtains indicated that it was already late morning.
”Let Third Elder Sister in! I'm already awake. ” Jin Se rubbed his eyes, suddenly realizing that he was probably going to set off early today.
”Little Sister Jin Se!”
Outside, Qi Zhen had also heard Jin Se's voice, she ran in immediately, and seeing Jin Se's drowsy look, she laughed: ”Second Elder Brother has already eaten breakfast in Mother's room! Little Sister Jin Se is still sleeping! ”
Hearing that, Jin Se was really worried this time.
”Ah?” ”Why …”
”Quick!” Li Luo, please wake me up. ”
Seeing that her move was so effective, laughed and helped her up quickly. In the end, she couldn't bear to see Jin Se being in such a hurry, so she comforted him, ”Sister, don't worry … Second Elder Brother is still in Mother's room listening to her lecture. Also, Mother and Father prepared a gift for Aunt and the others, and they need Big Brother to take it with them. ”
”I will have to delay them for a few hours!”
Hearing this, Jin Se did not stop his actions.
”In the end, it's still not appropriate. I've been falling asleep for the past few days.”
”You haven't had breakfast yet! I'll ask Ru Chun to bring you some! ”
Jin Se nodded his head, treating it as silent acknowledgement, as though they had already eaten before, and although Qi Zhen was like a little princess at home, being pampered, the Mrs. Xue had always taught her to sleep early and to get up early, so how could any of the women in the pavilion sleep well …
Of course, Jin Se's father and mother were very strict as well, but there was one tangible benefit in being willing to allow their precious daughter to sleep until late in the morning. Although it was somewhat impolite, the two of them, husband and wife, never said much.
”Sister! ”Look at you, ever since I fell into the water, you've become even more drowsy.”
Qi Zhen didn't blame her at all. She played with the bright jade in her hands and chatted with it in boredom.
