Chapter 175 Secret Talk
Bai Jin was concentrating on his work. The mountain of documents did not affect his focused expression at all.
He stood tall and straight, like a majestic pine tree, and his crescent-colored satin gown only highlighted his elegance, making him look like a gentle young man who had walked out of a painting.
At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from afar, like lively notes jumping in the silent corridor.
Bai Jin seemed to have sensed something, and the moment he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Li's small figure stepping into the study.
Behind her, Shen Yu was struggling to carry a large box. His face was flushed red, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his steps were a little laborious, but he stubbornly tried to keep up.
Seeing this, Bai Jin immediately put down the pen in his hand with a light and graceful movement. Then he stood up and walked towards him with brisk and steady steps.
His face was instantly filled with joy, and his smile was as bright as the warm spring sun. After his gaze lingered on the big box for a moment, he said with a bit of curiosity and anticipation, "You made another box so quickly?" His praise and admiration were evident in his words, as if he was deeply impressed by Shen Li's efficiency and determination.
Shen Li nodded slightly, her movements as brisk as a lively deer.
She skipped towards the chair in the study, and after her small body sat down, her feet naturally dangled in the air, like a playful elf dancing in the breeze.
She stretched out her little hand, her white fingers as slender as spring bamboo shoots, and skillfully poured herself a glass of water.
After taking a sip, a clear voice rang out: "Isn't this extremely important? I have to hurry!"
Her words revealed a sense of responsibility and courage that was totally inconsistent with her eight-year-old age, and her eyes flashed with a firm light, which made people respect her.
Bai Jin's face was filled with satisfaction, as if he was watching a younger generation of his own grow stronger and stronger. He said slowly, "Yan Feng and his men must have visited several places yesterday. They are all capable people. I predict that it will rain everywhere soon. By then, the emperor will also get the news very soon!"
When he mentioned this, there was a faint light flickering in his eyes, and that light was full of longing and confidence for the future, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene of people living and working in peace and prosperity and the world at peace.
Shen Li waved her hands nonchalantly, with a smile on her face. That smile was as gorgeous as a blooming flower, and her words were playful and smart: "As long as I don't let him down and give me the title of County Master!"
There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she seemed to have her own unique understanding and interpretation of the position of county lord.
Bai Jin was amused by her appearance and laughed heartily. The laughter echoed in the study, as if dispelling all the gloom. He shook his head gently and sighed, "You!" His doting tone was as if he was treating his most beloved little sister, full of tolerance and love.
Shen Li finished her tea quickly and placed the cup back on the table with quick and decisive movements.
Then he jumped off the chair, reached into his arms, and carefully took out the carefully prepared information.
She wrapped the information in a piece of pink satin, making it look particularly exquisite.
As she handed it to Bai Jin, she winked and teased, "Here's the information for you, you'd better take good care of it. My aunt is 18 years old now, and our Shen family has improved its status. Those families who looked down on us in the past will probably come to propose marriage to my grandparents like sharks smelling blood!"
Bai Jin had been happily mulling over this, his mind already picturing beautiful moments with Shen Shaoxue. Upon hearing this, his expression suddenly changed, and he was startled. His usual calm and composed demeanor, his composure even in the face of adversity, instantly crumbled, and he began to swerve in panic.
He rubbed his hands unconsciously, and that movement revealed his inner anxiety and uneasiness. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry. He seemed to be in great trouble, as if he was about to lose his most precious treasure.
Seeing this, Shen Li couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. The laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the study for a long time.
The laughter broke the solemn atmosphere and injected a touch of relaxation and joy into the tense air.
Bai Jin heard the laughter, turned around and glared at her, pretending to be annoyed and said, "I'm so anxious! And you still want to make fun of me? If you have an idea, just say it!"
Although there was a hint of blame in his words, there was also a hint of expectation. His eyes seemed to say, "You clever fellow, you must have a brilliant plan. Tell me quickly."
Shen Li waved her hand, and Bai Jin understood what she meant and quickly bent down to put his ear closer.
Shen Li leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, muttering as if she was whispering.
Her voice was soft and mysterious, and her words were full of clever planning and wisdom.
As Bai Jin listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter. His originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a confident smile. He nodded continuously, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, as if he had seen the dawn of success.
After Shen Li finished speaking, she smiled and said to him, "Okay, I'm going to Fuxi Villa. You can do whatever you want!"
There was a hint of mischief in her eyes, as if she was confident in her plan and looking forward to Bai Jin's upcoming actions.
Bai Jin smiled and said, "Go ahead!"
He waved his hand as he spoke, looking impatient, as if he had already planned everything in his mind and was just waiting to put it into action.
His posture was upright, revealing a sense of firmness and determination, as if he was about to embark on an important journey.
Shen Li did not hesitate any longer, turned around with Shen Yu, and walked out of the county government office with brisk steps.
The sunlight shone on them, outlining two figures walking away.
Shen Li's double buns danced with her steps, and the pearl flowers in her hair sparkled with dazzling light. Shen Yu held the box tightly and tried to keep up with her pace.
Their figures are full of vitality and hope, as if they are walking towards the unknown and expectant distance with endless energy and longing.
