In fact, Shen Jue had doubted Bai Yuan's identity.
He had never seen a man with such a handsome face as his.
But it was too bizarre for a woman to dress up as a man for scientific research. He didn't think about it, but he still cautiously asked someone to investigate.
It is said that Bai Yu'an is the oldest child in the family. She has been good-looking since she was a child. She was often treated as a girl when she was a child. It would be better if her head was bigger.
Bai Yu'an's father was the magistrate of Shuyang County and he valued his only son very much.
He grew up studying at home, and two talented teachers were hired to teach him.
Bai Yu'an has always strived for success since he was a child, but he already had a reputation as a child prodigy in the county when he was seven or eight years old.
The subsequent scientific examinations also went smoothly. On the day of high school, a running water mat was set up at home for five days, which shows how proud he is of his son.
Bai Yu'an just walked up, but she still felt a little cold with her wet middle coat exposed. She couldn't help but walk behind the screen, but she didn't see the maid, so she had to turn back to Shen Jue and ask, "Why isn't the maid gone?"
Shen Jue saw Bai Yu'an holding her hands, her soaked clothes clinging to her body, and she could see her body clearly, and then she felt that she was really petite.
It's not like he really has a congenital deficiency or something like that. It's probably normal for him to behave like this.
He didn't answer Bai Yu'an's words, but just said to the outside: "Send two pairs of clothes in."
Soon, a maid came in carrying a tray with two clean middle coats inside.
Shen Jue waved his hand to let the maid go out, then looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Where are you changing?"
Bai Yu'an looked around the room and said, "Why don't you change behind the screen?"
Shen Jue nodded and motioned for him to come over with his clothes.
Bai Yu'an quickly took his clothes and walked behind the screen.
After all, she still kept an eye on it and ran to the back of the hot spring pool to change. Even if Shen Jue suddenly came in, the white air could block it.
Bai Yu'an changed into the middle coat as quickly as possible, but found that the material of the middle coat was smooth and thick, like silk, and it was very comfortable against the skin.
But it was too big. When her hand was straightened, it was still some distance from the cuff.
Not to mention the legs, unless the trouser legs are rolled up, the feet cannot be exposed at all.
At this time, Bai Yu'an couldn't choose anything anymore, so he had to roll up his sleeves and trouser legs, and then asked outside: "Has Shen Shoufu changed?"
After hearing a hum from outside, Bai Yu'an walked out with confidence.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an who came out from behind the screen. His trouser legs and sleeves rolled up were too funny, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Fang Huiju is a place where Shen Jue often comes alone. His change of clothes is always prepared here, and the two middle coats brought are naturally Shen Jue's.
The difference in stature between the two was so big that Shen Jue couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Bai Yu'an didn't even eat when he was studying when he was a child, and he neglected food and sleep too much?
When Bai Yu'an went outside, she saw that Shen Jue had put on a long robe. He was tall and noble in black clothes with dark patterns, and he was meticulous and rigorous.
After just one glance, Bai Yu'an quickly went to get the crew-neck shirt that the maid put on the shelf.
She then thought of the robe that was still lying beside the soup pool, and thought about asking A Tao to come in later to wring it out and take it away. At the moment, she could only wear a single robe for now.
But with Shen Jue standing next to him, Bai Yuan still put on his robe as if nothing had happened.
Just after putting on his clothes, Changsong's voice came from outside again: "Sir, there is something wrong with the carriage."
Shen Jue asked Chang Song to come in, and Chang Song said: "The servant who was guarding the carriage just now came to say that someone's carriage hit the master's carriage and the wheels were cracked."
"There is still some distance between the suburbs of Beijing and the city. It will be dark after we change, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get on the road."
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, thinking how could it be such a coincidence.
Shen Jue hummed, and then said in a low voice: "Go and ask someone to prepare two bedrooms."
Bai Yu'an stood nearby and listened to Shen Jue's words. His heart skipped a beat and he looked at Shen Jue and said, "Shen Jue, are we really going to stay here tonight?"
Seeing that Bai Yu'an's hair was still dripping wet, Shen Jue hummed lightly, without any intention of asking for Bai Yu'an's consent.
No matter how reluctant he was, Bai Yu'an had no guts to go back on his own in the dark.
She just heard that Shen Jue had asked people to prepare two bedrooms, so she had to compromise: "Where can I rest?"
Shen Jue said, "It's still early, how about a game of chess with me, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Yu'an's hair was soaked from the water, so he couldn't think of playing chess.
On the other hand, Shen Jue was clean and there was no wet spot in her hair.
Bai Yuan's head felt a little unbalanced, and she refused without thinking: "I'm not good at chess as an official, so I don't dare to show my shame in front of Shen Chief Fu."
But Shen Jue didn't know if he didn't understand the meaning of her words, so he directly ordered the maid next to him to bring up the chessboard.
Bai Yu'an watched helplessly as the chessboard was placed in front of the window, and then saw that Shen Jue had already sat down, barely able to hold his body while standing there.
Shen Jue was seen sitting on the cushions, looking at Bai Yu'an with a slightly scornful look: "Master Bai is the most handsome boy in high school, and I don't know if he deserves the title."
Although Shen Jue's unabashed contempt and provocation made Bai Yu'an feel a little uncomfortable, she had always been able to keep her composure and knew that Shen Jue would not go too far and push her over to play chess.
She didn't mind that Shen Jue thought she wasn't good at chess. After all, there were mountains beyond the mountains, and there were people beyond the mountains.
She still stood where she was, hugging her hands and saying to Shen Jue: "It's just that my hair is wet. Shen Chief Assistant wants me to play chess with you. Can you wait for me to dry my hair?"
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yuan. His hair was indeed wet. He no longer embarrassed him. He nodded and asked the maid to take Bai Yuan to the bedroom.
Seeing that Shen Jue finally found her conscience and let her go, Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and followed the maid out without wanting to stay any longer.
Just before leaving the house, Bai Yu'an looked back at Shen Jue, who was still sitting alone next to the chessboard.
He was wearing an open coat and a wide robe, and his figure was slim. At first glance, he looked a little lonely.
But soon Bai Yu'an turned around and took A Tao to follow the maid to the room next to her.
Bai Yuan's bedroom is next door to Fang Huiju. The room is beautifully decorated. In addition to the bed, tables and chairs, there are paintings hanging on the walls and carpets on the floor.
Bai Yu'an was very tired. After entering, he didn't bother to look around the room, so he leaned back on the bed softly.
A Tao followed Bai Yu'an and saw that Bai Yu'an's hair was wet, so she couldn't help but rush to get a handkerchief to wipe Bai Yu'an's hair.
She loosened Bai Yuan's hair crown, sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the hair of Bai Yuan who was lying on the pillow, and asked: "Isn't the young master eating in there? Why is his hair wet?"
Bai Yu'an lazily said: "There is a hot spring inside, I accidentally slipped down."
A Tao was startled when he heard this, and quickly raised his voice and said: "Then the young master didn't notice anything, right?"
Bai Yu'an waved her hands softly: "Don't worry, he won't see anything."
But A Tao felt that Mr. Shen was not easy to fool, but seeing Bai Yuan's nonchalant look, he opened his mouth but remained silent.
