All the staff crazily criticize the villain, only the heroine is cute

Time always seems to pass quickly in Shuanghua Palace.

Maybe it's because there's no such intrigue. On weekdays, besides worrying about the vegetables and chickens in the yard, I only have to think about what to eat for each meal.

Life is dull but fulfilling, and Ning Yan even feels that she has lived a life of retirement in advance.

She didn't have to worry about anything. She moved the deck chair to bask in the sun every day, drank tea and admired the flowers. Although she was enjoying the vegetables, it was still enjoyable.

In a blink of an eye, early spring entered midsummer, and those heavy winter clothes earlier were all replaced with light ones.

Ning Yan wore a water-colored shirt and skirt and leaned in the corridor of the Huxin Pavilion to escape the heat. She watched Jiang Shuangxu digging lotus roots in the lake with interest.

Ever since she took the initiative to kiss Jiang Shuangxu a few months ago, the man seemed to have suddenly changed his temperament, from his previous cold demeanor that was not interested in foreign affairs to a clingy and clingy one.

Ning Yan was not worried about Jiang Shuangxu continuing to seek death. After all, judging from the time they spent together, he was now much more cheerful than before, otherwise he wouldn't have excitedly suggested coming over to dig lotus roots under the sun.

The only thing she is struggling with now is that her relationship with Jiang Shuangxu seems to be stagnant.

Ning Yan could feel that Jiang Shuangxu's feelings for her were pure and passionate, with some unexpected possessiveness.

But Ning Yan couldn't figure it out, since the last few months, the two of them just kissed and hugged each other, nothing more.

Even if there was, Jiang Shuangxu would restrain himself at the critical moment. No matter how she provoked him, he would not be moved.

If she hadn't confirmed it again and again, she would have almost thought that Jiang Shuangxu had a hidden health problem.

He sat on the bench under the eaves of the corridor, shaking his fan to dissipate the hot summer air.

The Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake is a good place to escape the summer heat. It is many times cooler than the main hall.

Ning Yan sighed softly, and her peripheral vision fell on the people by the lake outside the pavilion.

It is midsummer, and the remaining lotuses in the winter pond are all new, with green and pink interlaced dots dotting the entire pond.

Jiang Shuangxu's upper body was naked. His originally pale complexion had turned darker over time, and his back had become a healthy wheat color.

At this moment, I am sinking into a pond full of lotus leaves and flowers, bending down to touch the lotus roots in the lake.

As if telepathically, Jiang Shuangxu stood up while Ning Yan sighed, pinched a section of lotus root in his hand, and threw it on the bank of the lake.

"But you feel hot? Do you want to go back first?"

Jiang Shuangxu's eyes were full of smiles. His arms were covered with mud, but it couldn't cover the strong muscles underneath.

He was much stronger than before, especially now that his upper body was naked. From Ning Yan's angle, he could just see the beautifully shaped abdominal muscles on his waist and abdomen.

"No, it's cooler here. Are you tired? Come up and rest for a while."

Ning Yan secretly glanced at Jiang Shuangxu's young and beautiful body, but it was most annoying to see but not touch it.

She could only swallow her bitterness and wave to him with a smile.

The smile in Jiang Shuangxu's eyes deepened, and he looked like Ning Yan with boundless love in his eyes. He shook his head at her.

"I'm not tired. The lake is quite cool and not too hot. I'll go up there in half an hour. Yanyan, if you feel tired, go back first and don't have to wait for me."

Ning Yan curled her lips: "I know, who said I was waiting for you, it's cool here, can't I come here to enjoy the cool?"

"Okay, okay, you have the final say."

Jiang Shuangxu bent down and washed the mud off his arms with lake water, picked off a pink lotus that was in full bloom around him, and found another lotus pod.

"Now, take it and play with it first."

Jiang Shuangxu pulled the lotus and lotus pods, walked to the edge of Ningyan with the lake water, and handed them over through the mahogany-colored corridor.

"What? I'm not a child..."

Even though Ning Yan said so, with a reluctant face on his face, he still reached out and took the two branches over, feeling a little happier in his heart.

Jiang Shuangxu chuckled, wading across the lake again and went back to work.

[You say you don’t want a master, but your hands are very honest~]

Xiao Qi made a faint teasing sound.

Ning Yan raised her eyebrows. After smelling the lotus, she put it aside and concentrated on peeling the lotus seeds in her hand.

Da Yan said shamelessly: "Who said it's what I want? It's just that the weather is so hot, it shouldn't be too much for me to peel a lotus seed to get rid of the heat."

[Not too much, of course not too much. 】

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes lazily, "The lotus seeds are so delicious. Master, please eat more. It has indeed become a lot of anger recently. If you don't get rid of the anger, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." 】

"Hey, Xiao Qi, what are you talking about?"

Ning Yan's action of peeling the lotus seeds paused.

She was stunned.

She was really shocked.

Although she felt it was a pity, she was more appreciative of beautiful things.

Besides, what she calls sacrificing herself for the mission, I don’t know if she can stop talking nonsense!
