The next day, Yan Yu slept until dawn.

She opened her eyes drowsily, and then remembered that Xiao Chengji came back last night.

Yan Yu didn't know whether this was a dream or reality, and touched the pillow.

There was nothing beside the pillow.

Yan Yu thought that maybe she missed him too much, so she had such a dream.

She felt lost and turned over, intending to sleep for a while.

The days are too long and the weather is hot in summer, so Yan Yu didn't feel sleepy at all. He closed his eyes for a while before letting Ning Xia come in to bring him water and tea.

Ningxia took a towel soaked in water and wiped Yan Yu's face carefully: "It's been too hot recently. The sun came out early in the morning."

Yan Yu said: "Let them prepare a bucket of hot water. I will wash myself and then change my clothes."

When the weather was hot, Yan Yu would wash three or four times a day and change clothes all day long.

She looked listless and didn't want to eat anything.

Ningxia wanted to say something when she suddenly heard footsteps. She was startled and quickly put down what she was holding and went out.

Xiao Chengji didn't like others touching Yan Yu in front of him, even if it was a maid who had served Yan Yu for many years.

Yan Yu's eyes widened a little.

Xiao Chengji took the handkerchief and continued to wipe her face: "It's hot recently, do you want to go to the manor to escape the heat?"

Yan Yu shook his head.

Once she stayed in a place for a long time, she didn't want to leave. She preferred places that were familiar to her. No matter how good other places were, as long as they were unfamiliar to Yan Yu, she would not be willing to go there.

"The capital is pretty good." Yan Yu said, "I don't want to go anywhere else."

Xiao Chengji wrung the handkerchief in the water again.

There was no ice in the water, only some rose dew. After the handkerchief was soaked in it, it was cool. Yan Yu wiped his face twice and drank a cup of cloud tea. Finally, he felt much more energetic.

Xiao Chengji carried her to the dressing table and took out a sandalwood comb to comb her long hair.

He didn't know how to comb her hair in any particular style, he could only comb her hair from top to bottom. Yan Yu's hair was long, dense and abundant, and it fell softly on her shoulders. Because it was so smooth, the comb could be inserted and slide off easily, so it didn't take much effort to comb her hair.

After combing his hair, Xiao Chengji tied the ends of his hair with a hairband and hugged Yan Yu and kissed her for a while.

He missed Yan Yu a lot during this period, thinking about her at any time and in any place, but Yan Yu was not in good health, so he couldn't take her out, and Xiao Chengji didn't want her to go out often.

The maid brought breakfast over. Yan Yu tasted a few sips of the pear soup and ate half a red bean paste and milk roll. He didn't want to eat anything else.

Xiao Chengji finished her uneaten meal and took a cup of tea from the maid: "What have you been doing at home these days?"

"Nothing much, just playing the piano and writing." Yan Yu said, "The emperor has gone to the temporary palace, there is nothing to do inside or outside the palace."

Xiao Chengji brought some things to Yan Yu and asked Xingwen to send someone to carry them over.

Yan Yu opened it and took a look. Most of the items were jewelry and ornaments, as well as some rare fabrics in the capital. There was also a box of books, all of which were rare ancient books that Yan Yu had never seen before. There were also some exquisite stationery.

Xiao Chengji didn't know what Yan Yu really liked, so he brought whatever he thought Yan Yu liked.

Yan Yu asked Ruidong and Bichun to send the box of books and stationery to his own study, and the rest to the warehouse.

Xiao Chengji really didn't expect that Yan Yu didn't like any of them. He thought that his taste was not that bad. He took out a large jewelry box with green glass and gold painting: "There are a few strings of water jade beads that look nice."

It is rare to see women in the capital wearing water jade jewelry. Water jade is not that rare, but it is rare to find good quality ones.

It is as clear as water and as hard as jade. The whole string of beads gradually changes from white to purple. They are crystal clear and pure in color. They are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.

There are more than ten different colors in total. Yan Yu didn’t look at them carefully just now, but now he really likes them.

Xiao Chengji said: "There are some nice beads in the storeroom, would you like to take a look?"

Yan Yu nodded.

Xiao Chengji asked Xingwen to open the warehouse and take it.

Yan Yu finally took a string of pink tourmalines and put them on his hand.

She has fair skin, and the delicate pink makes her skin look like solidified fat. During this period, Xiao Chengji was not at home, so Yan Yu grew her nails, dyed them a little pink, and painted lifelike patterns with gold powder.

Xiao Chengji held her hand and kissed the back of her hand, then carried her inside.

Two hours later, it was already afternoon. Yan Yu's eyes were red from crying, and his clothes were torn to pieces, sticking to his body.

Xiao Chengji asked someone to bring in some water. Yan Yu was extremely tired. Even though she was not feeling well, she did not want to wash herself anymore. She wanted to take a nap first and do it after she woke up.

After being fed, Xiao Chengji was in a good mood. He hugged Yan Yu and gave him a kiss: "You continue to sleep, I will help you clean up."

He held Yan Yu's hand and gently pinched her nails.

Yan Yu's strength was not very strong, but it was still a bit painful when she grabbed people. Xiao Chengji couldn't see his back, but he could guess what it would look like if he was grabbed by her.

He asked for water to wash Yan Yu's body, changed her into clean clothes, and changed the bedding. Xiao Chengji put Yan Yu on the bed and took a pair of scissors to cut her nails.

After sharpening his nails until they were round, Xiao Chengji touched each one, making sure the edges wouldn't scratch her skin before letting go.

Yan Yu was half asleep and half awake, and she only felt that he was holding her hands and feet and doing something. She struggled to pull her feet out, but Xiao Chengji gently pinched her calves: "Be good, don't move."

Yan Yu let him grab her as he pleased and took a nap on the pillow for half an hour before slowly opening her eyes and waking up.

Xiao Chengji was not sleepy at all and was still full of energy. Seeing Yan Yu wake up, he let go of her a little bit and asked, "How are you now?"

Yan Yu didn't say anything. She could still vaguely feel his presence on her body. After a while, she nodded gently.

"Are you feeling comfortable?"

When Yan Yu heard his question, her ears gradually turned red. She buried her face in the pillow and said nothing.

Seeing that she was shy, Xiao Chengji didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Yan Yu raised his face from the pillow and looked at his bare fingernails. He was so angry that his face turned pale: "It's so ugly."

Xiao Chengji pinched her fingers: "What's ugly about it? It's even uglier when the nails are too long."

Yan Yu saw that half of the patterns on his fingernails were gone. He didn't understand anything and couldn't explain it clearly, so he turned his back and ignored him.

Xiao Chengji twisted her shoulders and asked her to turn around: "You said you missed me last night, but today you are angry with me."

Yan Yu was a little embarrassed: "Then I'm not angry anymore."
