1504 He Did Not Find Them Filthy At All

Ji’er slept obediently for a while, but she seemed to notice something in her dreams and her hand reached out to fumble a little until she found the source of the heat, and she leaned against it once more.

Chu Qi, “…”

This time, he did not move her. However, he did not shut his eyes and kept them open until the next morning.

He made the decision to send Ji’er back to the Palace the next day.

Next day.

Ji’er woke up from a good sleep and realized Lil Qi was no longer in the room.

She was dazed for a while before something crossed her mind and her expression changed. She quickly jumped off the bed and ran out.

Chu Qi was in the courtyard with his back facing the room door. He was sitting on a stool with his head lowered as he was washing the covers and the clothes Ji’er had changed out of.

When he heard the commotion behind him, he turned his head quickly and saw Ji’er standing by the door, barefoot. The expression on his handsome face changed as he dropped whatever was in his hand immediately and got up quickly to walk toward her.

“Lil Qi…” Ji’er looked at him and jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. “I didn’t see you when I woke up and I thought you were gone again…”

Chu Qi was taken aback and he held back the lecture he was about to give her.

“I won’t leave. Even if I did, I would let you know about it,” he said in a low voice. He wiped the back of his hand dry behind him before carrying her in his arms and heading back into the room.

Ji’er was relieved to hear that and she leaned her head against his shoulder. “Remember your promise to me, Lil Qi.”

“I know. I won’t forget,” said Lil Qi. He did not forget to lecture her. “The ground is cold and if you step on it barefoot, you’ll catch a cold. What would I do then? Don’t forget that you’re currently menstruating.”

“I won’t do this again,” Ji’er promised.

Chu Qi darted a look at her but said nothing as she wondered if he believed her.

When they returned to the room, he carried her to the bed and sat her there. After that, he took a towel to wipe her dirty feet dry. At the end of it, he carefully put on a pair of silk stockings for her.

Ji’er’s heart warmed as she looked at the man crouching on the ground.

“What were you doing in the courtyard, Lil Qi?” She asked.

“Nothing.” Chu Qi glanced at her and got up to say, “You should clean up. We’ll have breakfast in a while.”

“Alright.” Ji’er went to clean herself up obediently.

She looked at the basin rack and saw the hot water Lil Qi had prepared for her. It warmed her heart.

Lil Qi was still as considerate to her and treated her well.

She felt she had fallen for the right person.

After she was done cleaning up, she walked out of the room to see Lil Qi with his sleeves rolled up. He was hanging the freshly washed covers and her dresses out to dry.

She was taken aback by this sight and instantly realized what he had been doing.

Lil Qi had gotten up so early to wash her clothes.

The thought of Lil Qi personally washing the dirtied covers and dresses made her face burn, but she also felt happiness at the same time.

Lil Qi did not find them filthy at all.

She stood behind him and watched him working seriously at hanging up the covers.

He looked good from the back with his sleeves rolled up, which showed off his lean, muscular forearms. Even when he was working on minor, unimportant tasks, he did not find them annoying and he completed them seriously.

A small smile appeared on Ji’er’s lips. She liked Lil Qi so much and felt that everything about him was wonderful. Even when he was hanging the clothes out to dry, he looked handsome.

As she watched the busy man, she could not help asking a question even though she knew the answer. “Lil Qi, why are you washing all these personally?”

Chu Qi hung up the last dress carefully before turning to look at her.

He wanted to give an excuse but when he saw the bright look in the girl’s eyes, he finally replied in a low voice, “There aren’t any maids in the mansion. All I have are male servants and it doesn’t seem appropriate for them to wash these for you.”

Ji’er burst out with laughter at the sight of the man with his eyes lowered. “You’re so adorable, Lil Qi.”

Chu Qi paused in the middle of tidying his sleeve and he looked at her questioningly. “Adorable?” Was it suitable for a man to be described as such?
