1547 Want to Be Your Brother-in-law
Xia Wanyuan looked out of the window. On the roof opposite, Jun s.h.i.+ling had rolled up his sleeves and was repairing the roof. The morning sun rose behind him, making him look like he was plated with a layer of golden light.
They were clearly so far apart, but Jun s.h.i.+ling still instinctively noticed Xia Wanyuan’s gaze on him. He glanced at Xia Wanyuan and a smile instantly appeared in his eyes.
Jun s.h.i.+ling was dirty when he came last night. One could only tell that he had an extraordinary temperament. After a night of recuperation, Jun s.h.i.+ling had specially tidied himself up in the morning.
Even though Jun s.h.i.+ling was wearing the simplest linen clothes, it reminded one of a poem.
!!The pines were as green as jade, and the men were unique.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was still sixteen. Even though she was mature, she could not withstand such a gaze. She closed the window and covered Jun s.h.i.+ling’s gaze.
However, the moment the window completely fell, Xia Wanyuan could not help but glance at Jun s.h.i.+ling through the gap in the window.
Xia Wei, who was standing at the side, saw Xia Wanyuan’s reaction and pulled her arm unhappily. “Sister, he’s a bad person. Can you let him leave later??”
Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. Now that the few of them were hiding here, they really shouldn’t cause more trouble. “Okay.”
With Xia Wanyuan’s permission, Xia Wei went out happily, then waved at Jun s.h.i.+ling on the roof. “Hey, you, come down. I have something to tell you.”
Looking at Xia Wei, who was standing below, Jun s.h.i.+ling thought of the emperor Xia Wei he had once seen, who was as deep as the sea.
Jun s.h.i.+ling suddenly felt a little emotional. In fact, after Xia Wanyuan pa.s.sed away, the heavy responsibility Xia Wei had picked up must not have been small. Otherwise, how could such an arrogant and unrestrained youth have become such a monarch who did not show his emotions after so many years?
Seeing that Jun s.h.i.+ling was ignoring him, Xia Wei waved at him. “Hey, come down.”
When Jun s.h.i.+ling came down from the roof, Xia Wei looked up at the man who was much taller than him. “Leave after breakfast. Stop having designs on my sister. My sister is not someone you can covet.”
Looking at the young man in front of him, Jun s.h.i.+ling laughed. “What if I don’t leave???”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you??” Xia Wei was furious. “Do you believe that I’ll report you to the officials to arrest you? Why are you still staying at someone else’s house??”
Jun s.h.i.+ling raised an eyebrow and pointed at the roof. “I know how to repair this.”
“So what?”
“I can sleep in the front hall at night and help you keep watch.”
“We don’t need you.”
“I can bring you to ride horses and hunt. I can help your sister earn money and stop her from suffering and running around.”
“Then…” Xia Wei looked at Jun s.h.i.+ling hesitantly. He had always known that Xia Wanyuan was sewing clothes for others to supplement the family’s expenses. Even if his heart ached, there was nothing he could do. He was still young, and Xia Wanyuan did not allow him to go out at all. He could not help Xia Wanyuan at all.
“How is it?” Jun s.h.i.+ling asked again.
Xia Wei looked at Jun s.h.i.+ling. “What’s your goal?? Who would be so kind?”
“My goal?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan walking over, a smile flashed across Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes. “Does wanting to be your brother-in-law count?? Can’t you just treat it as me taking care of my brother-in-law??”
Not far away, Xia Wanyuan happened to hear Jun s.h.i.+ling’s words and her footsteps panicked for a moment.
