C38 Failure to Pick up a Man and Go down the Wrong Path

When the sun was setting, Jiegeng finally completed today's task.

When she dragged her crippled arm to look for Duan Shuang, she unexpectedly discovered that he was enjoying dinner.

When Duan Shuang saw Jiegeng in a sorry state, he did not forget to add, "Today is your first time practicing, so there is no need for you to do dinner. Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of my lunch and dinner. As well as the usual tea. Of course, you'll be exempted from your tea-serving duties during your afternoon training. "

Jiegeng looked like she had a mental breakdown. Was this what she meant by rushing over to get beaten up?

"Alright, you can go back now." Duan Shuang tried to hold back the laughter in his heart.

"Yes, Jiegeng will retire." Jiegeng's voice was much weaker, which showed that she was really tired.

The moment they returned to the light courtyard in King Yi's Mansion, Shihan immediately came to ask about the effects.

"How is it? I must have fulfilled my wish to come back so late." Shihan started to shout outside the door. However, the moment she entered the room, she found Jiegeng sleeping on the chaise lounge chair.

Shihan hurriedly shook Jiegeng awake. "What happened to you?"

"Elder sister, just let me sleep for a while. I am really very tired." Jiegeng replied weakly.

"Isn't it too exaggerated for you to learn martial arts like this?" Duan Shihan was surprised. "Quickly tell me what happened!"

Jiegeng could only half-open her eyes and explain everything in detail.

After listening, Duan Shihan was also a little puzzled. What did Duan Shuang mean?

"So, older sister, let me have a good rest. Otherwise, I won't even be able to get up tomorrow." Jiegeng's face was full of sorrow.

" Don't sleep first. " Duan Shihan hurriedly pulled Jiegeng up. "You will still be like this tomorrow. Even if you serve tea in Zhen'an King's Mansion for a year, it will be useless."

"Then what can I do?" Jiegeng could no longer express her feelings.

"Of course I have to take the initiative!" Duan Shihan suddenly looked a little disappointed. "Can't you be like those noble ladies in the capital, pretending to be serious and pretending to be reserved? In the end, you can't even say a word."

" But if you rush up, you'll get annoyed, right? " Jiegeng was deeply worried. Because she was always worried about this point, it made her raise her hand to be restricted.

"If you rush, it will indeed be annoying, but you have already rushed up so many times. When did he really reject it?" Duan Shihan shook her head helplessly. It was really hard to tell who was on the scene.

Jiegeng thought carefully and thought that it seemed to be the case.

"So, since this concubine is interested, you have to show it. Keeping it and hiding it, who would know!" Duan Shihan spoke with confidence and assurance, although she could not grasp Duan Shuang's true attitude for the time being. But one thing was certain, Jiegeng's treatment was still very the same. "You have to turn him into a man with love. Only then will you be able to do so."

Jiegeng nodded as if she did not understand.

"Okay, that's all I can tell you. Since you have such a good opportunity, you must grasp it well." Shihan did not disturb Jiegeng's rest and patted Jiegeng's back before leaving.

The moment Shihan left, Jiegeng's fighting spirit was ignited. "Xia, prepare dinner for me. I am starving to death!"

For the next few days, Jiegeng was exhausted from dealing with the additional high-intensity training. Even if she was thinking about something, she could not help but feel helpless.

After finally getting used to these kinds of days, Jiegeng finally began her "initiative" move.

"Your Royal Highness, this is the fresh tea that entered this morning." Jiegeng looked forward to the usual and first followed the rules.

Duan Shuang picked up the teacup and tasted it and immediately frowned.

"Why is it sweet?"

"Your Royal Highness, I added lychee honey inside. The lychee in the South is delicious, but it's too far from here. I can't eat fresh ones. But there is lychee honey!" Jiegeng recalled that in the City L, Brother Hui liked the honey tea she brewed. So she copied it.

"Rebrew it." Duan Shuang immediately pushed the teacup out.

“ Oh." Jiegeng looked wronged. It seemed like she could not make him sweet in the future. If he did not like sweet ones, did he like bitter ones? Jiegeng thought to herself.

After a while, Jiegeng came in with another cup of tea and gently placed it by Duan Shuang's table.

Duan Shuang raised his head and looked at her suspiciously. "Did the enzymes put anything strange in it?"

Jiegeng shook her head and jumped out.

Duan Shuang took a light sip and then relaxed.

In the following days, Jiegeng frequently went into the study. Sometimes, she would put a few fresh flowers on the table, and sometimes, she would change the smell of the incense. Sometimes, she would wipe the bookshelf with a cloth. It would have been fine if she had been quiet and peaceful, but Jiegeng's mouth never stopped. She kept talking about the things that she had encountered and thought were fresh.

"Do you know how embarrassing that young man was at that time? I was standing at the side, holding back my laughter, so I didn't make a sound." Jiegeng had her back to Duan Shuang as she carefully cleaned the bookshelf.

At this moment, Duan Shuang suddenly left his seat and walked behind Jiegeng. He suddenly hugged Jiegeng from behind and placed a hand on her lips.

Jiegeng opened and closed her mouth in a panic. The cloth in her hand fell to the ground.

This action was really too ambiguous. Could it be that this method really worked? Duan Shuang was willing to take the initiative. Did he have me in his heart? A lot of thoughts instantly burst out in Jiegeng's mind.

Just as Jiegeng was waiting for Duan Shuang to say something, Duan Shuang finally opened his mouth.

"Be quiet."

Jiegeng immediately broke free from Duan Shuang and turned around. She realized that the distance between them was so close. As long as Jiegeng tiptoed, she would be able to kiss his cheek.

"There is food next door. You can go next door and stay there. Come in every hour and change the tea." Duan Shuang's words quickly broke Jiegeng's fantasy.

After saying this, Duan Shuang returned to his seat without any hesitation, as if he did not feel that what he did just now was very ambiguous to the two of them.

"Yes, Your Highness." Every word that Jiegeng said revealed disappointment.

Jiegeng picked up the cloth dejectedly and left the study. When she left, she kept reflecting on herself. Could it be that what she did just now was too out of line?

After leaving the study, she could not help but softly complain, "Older sister said she wanted to take the initiative. This initiative is completely useless."

When Jiegeng left dejectedly, Duan Shuang's face had a faintly discernible smile. After hearing Jiegeng's words, his smile finally could not help but show.

"What is Shihan messing about again?" Duan Shuang could not help but sigh.

"Miss Bai." A maid saw Shihan come in and immediately packed her luggage.

"There are fresh fruits and candied fruits here. There are also some medical books on the bookshelf. Miss Bai can read them by herself." The maidservant prepared the food on the table.

"Okay." Jiegeng sat down on the chair and reached for the candied fruit on the table.

"Miss can call this servant if you need anything. This servant will withdraw first." After saying that, the servant girl left.

Jiegeng nodded her head and continued to eat the fresh fruits.

Jiegeng took a few candied fruits and went straight to the bookshelf. When she found that these medical books were not read by her, her interest was immediately aroused and the setback of her failure was quickly forgotten.
