People finally went in.
"When the scoundrel comes in, lock the door. Make sure it is locked. You stay outside. Anyone can get close. Don't care about any noise you hear. Wait until the next morning to open the door."
Thinking of the lady's instructions to herself, Xiao Cui hurriedly added a new lock to the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No one should know, right?"
...
Inside the house, Xia Shang finally saw what the boudoir of an unmarried young girl in ancient times looked like.
At the door, a layer of purple gauze curtain hung on an arc-shaped wooden door railing, hanging down, covering everything in the room with a layer of mist, and also blocking the fragrance of a young girl in the room. The boudoirs in Jiangnan are small and exquisite, not as big as imagined. There is a screen with a green bamboo pattern blocking the end of the bed when entering the door. The main room is at the corner. In the middle is a round sandalwood table covered with a light green tablecloth. On the table are a pot and two cups, as well as some exquisite snacks, such as preserved fruit, candied fruit, shortbread, sesame cake...
To the west of the main hall is the bed, with exquisite carvings on the edge of the bed, in the shape of nine curves, and lined with a pink and white bedspread, fresh and elegant. To the north is a dressing table, on which rouge and powder are placed in a mess, as if forgotten to be tidied. To the south is a layer of beaded curtains, and the side room is inside, with only a cushion, a table and a window.
Although the boudoir is small, it has an exquisite structure. The simple and elegant display carries a little woman's stubbornness, unwilling to miss any details. Perhaps, there is nothing special in terms of decoration, but what makes people imagine is that the house has condensed the freshness and light fragrance of a little woman for more than ten years.
When the curtains are opened to enter the room, a refreshing fragrance comes, which makes Xia Shang squint his eyes and take a long breath.
This is an indescribable smell, like a blend of many kinds of perfumes, and then slowly steaming the perfumes, the kind of floating, light, with a warm breath.
This is also a smell that cannot be replicated, it is a woman's logo. Someone once said that a woman's fragrance is proportional to her beauty, and at the same time every woman has a woman's fragrance that belongs to her. Xia Shang thinks this is very correct.
If beauty and fragrance are proportional, then the fragrance of Jiangnan is the kind of beauty that is sweet to the bone, like a mountain spring, tasteless in the mouth, and sweet when remembered. This is also the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, which has not been profaned or polluted, pure, cool, and hits the heart directly.
"Sir, come in."
A sudden soft voice pulled Xia Shang back to reality from the fragrance. A pair of small hands grabbed Xia Shang's palm without hesitation. The delicate skin was clearly touched in the rough big hand, as if grabbing a piece of silk that had just been cut, and it was extremely slippery.
I don't know what happened to my students today? Such enthusiasm as soon as they entered the room.
Xia Shang was pulled into the room in a daze and sat down at the table. Jiangnan smiled and poured a glass of water for Xia Shang, brought it to him, and said with a smile: "Sir, please."
Xia Shang only noticed that Jiangnan's dress was a little different from the past.
She looked elegant and generous in a standard lady's dress, beautiful but not abrupt, which was completely different from her previous appearance of being capable and free and easy in a tight outfit.
If there is any difference between the two dresses, the biggest difference is naturally the embodiment of charm.
In the past, no matter how beautiful Jiangnan was, she looked like a girl after all.
Today, a green silk jacket with a faintly visible shoulder was draped over her shoulders, and the faint charm was the best interpretation of a woman.
Seeing the student bring water, Xia Shang really looked a little panic.
Speaking of age, Jiangnan was sixteen and Xia Shang was eighteen, a perfect combination of a talented man and a beautiful woman. Any man would have a lot of imagination in this scene. Especially the omnipresent fragrance was so tempting. Seeing the beautiful girl again was just a stone's throw away, Xia Shang actually felt a little dry in the mouth.
But...
Xia Shang is not a person who is controlled by physical instincts!
This little girl's temperament changed drastically today, which is not a normal phenomenon.
Xia Shang did not take the water cup immediately, but looked at Jiangnan with a sharp gaze, as if to see through her heart and see what she was thinking?
Under Xia Shang's gaze, Jiangnan did not change color at all, still holding the water cup calmly and appropriately, with sincerity in her eyes.
The seemingly flawless performance seemed to be full of flaws.
How could an unmarried girl be so calm and measured when inviting a man of the same age into the house for the first time?
So, there must be something wrong here.
Xia Shang finally took the water cup and pretended to drink it, but her eyes were looking at Jiangnan.
Seeing Xia Shang's actions, Jiangnan finally showed a sense of joy in his eyes. Although it was very inconspicuous, it did not escape Xia Shang's eyes!
"Eh?!"
Just as he was about to drink it, Xia Shang exclaimed at the last moment and suddenly noticed the cake on the table: "Jiangnan, what kind of cake is this?"
Jiangnan's heart was in his throat, but something went wrong at the last moment. I don't know what this stinky hooligan suddenly thought of: "This is just an ordinary salty cake."
"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious."
"Try a piece for me to see."
What do you mean you try a piece for me to see?
Jiangnan was confused, but he was too lazy to worry about it, so he picked up a piece and ate it in two bites.
"Sir, drink some water first."
Xia Shang shook his head seriously: "Hey! You don't know how to eat slowly, are you choking? Drink some water quickly."
As he said that, the water that was originally for Xia Shang was delivered to Jiangnan.
"This..." Jiangnan seemed at a loss for what to do with this sudden change. He was stunned for two seconds before squeezing out an unnatural smile, "Sir, you drink, I'm not thirsty."
"How can I not be thirsty? Look at your voice becoming dry when you speak."
"Sir, I'm really not thirsty."
"Come on, drink it! This is what the sir gave you for the first time."
Xia Shang smiled mischievously and walked in front of Jiangnan with a cup of water.
Jiangnan's face changed and she took two steps back.
Xia Shang had no intention of letting her go. The more she stepped back, the closer he got.
"Jiangnan, your face looks a little wrong, as if you are a little afraid of this water. Is the water that the sir gave you so scary?"
"No...no..."
"No? Then why do you keep stepping back?"
The situation took a turn for the worse!
Jiangnan's forehead was already sweating profusely. She seemed to have realized that the sir had seen the problem.
Just as he was thinking, there was no way to retreat behind him. He tripped over the edge of the bed and fell on the bed with a scream.
Xia Shang rushed over and pressed one hand on the side of Jiangnan's face. He bent down to prevent him from moving, and then slowly approached with a wine glass. The distance between their faces was only one foot.
"Dear Jiangnan, good student, today you invited the master to meet in the boudoir, and sneakily sent an unknown object. Could it be that this water was drugged and you wanted to eat the master? In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Just kiss the baby and say that the master is willing to devote himself."
"Dirty hooligan, I'll fight you!"
With a scream, Jiangnan hit Xia Shang in the face with one hand.
This hit was not very strong, but... but a layer of white powder was sprinkled on his face, most of which was eaten by Xia Shang!
"Little bitch! What did you give me to eat?!"
