A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family

Chapter 92 - 92: Wooden Boat

At four or five in the afternoon, the temperature dropped a little, so everyone got up and prepared to go back.

Wu Yan was packing her things while Yuan Shu stood under the tree and waited. She saw the young man who was playing the zither slowly walking towards them with his zither that was almost as tall as a person.

The zither was very big, but it didn't look clumsy on his back at all. In any case, it complemented him perfectly.

He walked straight towards Yuan Shu and stood in front of her as he said, "Miss, your ear stud fell off."

His voice was gentle and breezy. It wasn't aggressive, but warm and gentle, completely different from his zither music.

He raised his hand towards Yuan Shu and opened his palm. Yuan Shu's square diamond ear stud was lying in his slender and fair palm.

Yuan Shu raised her hand to touch her ear. Her ear stud seemed to have fallen off when she listened to him play the zither just now. He actually noticed such a small thing falling into the grass. It seemed that he was very observant.

As Yuan Shu reached for the ear stud, she tried to avoid touching him, but the ear stud was too small, so her fingertips still brushed across his palm.

His palm subconsciously trembled. Then, he said, "I'm Mu Zhou. May I know your name?"

Yuan Shu was stunned. It had been a long time since she had heard Yuan Shu took the ear stud, but didn't put it on immediately. She didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked, "May I know how to someone call her Miss. It had also been a long time since she had heard someone speak in such an ancient manner.

Yuan Shu took the ear stud, but didn't put it on immediately. She didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked, "May I know how to spell your name?"

"M-u Z-h-o-u."

A gust of wind blew from the east, shaking the branches and messing up Yuan Shu's hair. Mu Zhou's bangs swayed in the wind and gave him a sense of mystery.

Suddenly, Mu Zhou raised his hand towards Yuan Shu's forehead. Shi Lu, who was standing on Yuan Shu's left, turned around to block Yuan Shu in order to protect her.

Yuan Shu didn't move.

Mu Zhou stopped at Yuan Shu's right shoulder and approached her right earlobe. Then, he grabbed a cherry blossom that fell with the wind. Shi Lu, who was on the left, was still frozen.

The scene was quite strange.

After Yuan Shu turned her head slightly and looked at his slender hand, she felt that such slender hands were meant to play the zither.

When Mu Zhou retracted his hand, the cherry blossom was still in his palm.

Shi Lu also stood back in his original position, as if nothing had happened.

When Yuan Shu smiled, even the cherry blossoms paled in comparison. "That's a nice name."

Mu Zhou didn't ask for Yuan Shu's name. Instead, he nodded politely and smiled at Yuan Shu before turning to leave.

As Yuan Shu stared at his back, she felt a familiar and melancholic feeling in her heart.

Shi Yi waited until he was far away before she came over and stood on the other side of Yuan Shu. Then, she said, "Did you notice that although his clothes are made of cotton, there is natural silk mixed in the cotton thread?"

Shi Bin knew that Shi Yi had a lot to say when it came to fabric, so he asked, "So what if it's made of silk?"

Shi Yi continued with a smug expression, "After mixing in silk, the clothing will be more breathable and have a better cooling effect. You won't feel hot in it even when you wear it in the summer. However, with silk, the craftsmanship will be more complicated and the cost will be higher. Yushu Buyi produces this kind of fabric. Mu Zhou might be a young master from a wealthy family who has just returned from studying abroad."

As they spoke, Wu Yan had already packed their things and followed everyone to the parking lot.

Shi Yi was still pondering. "Whose family do you think he is from? Why haven't I heard of any young master who can play the zither so well?"

Shi Lu also started to tease her. "Why? Are you interested in her? Do you want to woo him and make him your boyfriend?"

Shi Yi glared at him and mocked him in return, "I don't! I don't like this type. I like outgoing men! Look at how thin you are. Do you have muscles at all?"

Shi Lu didn't answer. Instead, he flicked Shi Yi's forehead and ran away. Shi Yi chased after him.

As for Yuan Shu, she had a smile on her face. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she felt a sense of disappointment and melancholy when she heard his name.
