Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 107: Hitting the Wall

Bai Zhi: "...Absolutely not, don't even think about it. Go and tell them we're closed, and tell the people outside to go back to where they came from."

"How can we retreat at this high tide? Money, Boss!"

"If you keep talking, your dividend will be deducted."

Zhou Shensi let out a cry and reluctantly closed the shop door amid a series of loud shouts from outside.

The world became quiet. Bai Zhi crawled into the accounting desk, slumped down in a chair, and felt a buzzing in her head.

A pair of hands stroked her head, calmly and forcefully massaging away the pain and noise.

Bai Zhi knew who it was without opening her eyes. Chu Yunchuan had pressed her head like this when she was in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Boss," Chu Yunchuan whispered, "Is this comfortable?"

Bai Zhi lazily said, "Light an incense stick and I'll give you the processing fee."

"No processing fee is required, but I have something to ask the boss."

"Go ahead."

"Someone just asked me if I was married..." Chu Yunchuan paused for a moment, and when he saw Bai Zhi's ears move, he continued, "I said I already had a lover, and this person asked me who I was."

Bai Zhi: "...and then?"

Chu Yunchuan kept working, leaning over and putting his lips close to Bai Zhi's ear: "Then I have to ask the boss, I don't know whether I should tell him clearly or keep it a secret."

Bai Zhi felt a tingling sensation in her ears, and she said in a hoarse voice, "What if I agree with you?"

"The boss knows it very well."

"Then why are you asking me? You can decide it yourself."

"I want to know what the boss thinks."

Bai Zhi answered the question irrelevantly: "I went to see Matchmaker Lu a few days ago."

Chu Yunchuan hummed, motioning for her to continue. Bai Zhi continued, "She said that human hearts are the most unreliable thing."

"What do you think, Boss?"

"I used to think so too. People's hearts are fickle. We can only pray for the present, not the future. But after leaving Matchmaker Lu's house, I suddenly felt that I couldn't let it go. I might as well pick it up high, even if -

Chu Yunchuan's heart was beating like a drum, and he felt like something was about to come out. He didn't dare to breathe, for fear of scaring back the next words. Bai Zhi said, "Even if it's really a south wall, I'm willing to hit it."

Her tone was very calm, as if she had considered it carefully, and Chu Yunchuan's heart was filled with waves.

He had dreamed of Bai Zhi saying such words to him countless times. It was not because he pressed her so hard that she gave up her place by her side, but she walked towards him step by step, not letting things get by without weighing the pros and cons. It was like he knew that a seed might not grow, but he still watered it, fertilized it, and put it in the sun, and he was happy to do it. And this seed actually blossomed today.

It was so unexpected that he was speechless for a moment.

Bai Zhi didn't hear him reply for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "I'm telling you the truth, why don't you even react?"

The next moment, the world was spinning, and the back of the chair suddenly fell down. Bai Zhi quickly grabbed the armrest like an octopus. Chu Yunchuan's face was very close, and his breathing was clearly audible. He said, "If it really is a wall, I am willing to let you do whatever you want."

There was a sudden commotion outside. It seemed that Qiao Wanwan's voice was calling from afar: "Bai Zhi! Where's Bai Zhi! Bai Zhi!"

Bai Zhi twisted and rolled off the chair, shouting, "Here!"

Qiao Wanwan followed the voice and went to the account counter. She saw Chu Yunchuan first. "Ah, this is your new handsome guy. Nice to meet you. I am the captain of the Qing County City Defense Army, Qiao Wanwan."

Chu Yunchuan threw the skin of a waiter on himself and said, "Meet General Qiao. My last name is Yun and my name is Chuan. I am working here because of the kindness of the boss."

Bai Zhi scratched her eyebrows. This scene looked weird no matter how she looked at it.

"Oh, you have the same name as the prince." Qiao Wanwan smiled coolly, "Brother Yunchuan, you are finally famous this time. Every time I walk outside, I can hear girls talking about you, saying that you are a fairy from heaven."

Chu Yunchuan lowered his eyes and smiled: "General Qiao, you are too kind."

Bai Zhi asked, "Aren't you on duty today? What are you doing here?"

"The line in front of your Wen Xiang Lou is so long that it's blocking the road. It wasn't like this on the first day the store opened. I have to come over to take a look." Qiao Wanwan flipped through the book on the counter with familiarity. "It just so happens that I brought some money today, so I'll write off the debt... Ah, here, seven cents."

Qiao Wanwan counted out seven coins from her purse and dropped them into the money jar. Baizhi dipped her pen in ink and wrote down the account stroke by stroke.

Chu Yunchuan saw clearly that Bai Zhi used her left hand.

How difficult is it to switch from the right hand to the left hand for something as delicate as writing?

After finishing the account, Bai Zhi sent Qiao Wanwan back. Chu Yunchuan took her right hand and asked in a low voice: "Can't this hand write now?"

Bai Zhi grabbed Chu Yunchuan's hand and said, "Do you think you can't write?" She seemed to have used a lot of strength and her arm was shaking slightly, but Chu Yunchuan was not hurt at all, and even if he let go now, his arm wouldn't even turn red.

Baizhi thought she was showing off her right hand, but in fact it had the opposite effect.

Chu Yunchuan felt a chill in his heart - he really destroyed Bai Zhi's hand.

"Alright, alright, don't have that expression." Bai Zhi realized that she had overdone it, so she quickly pulled her hand back and said lightly, "It's just that my strength is a little bit weaker, and it's not broken. I don't usually do any heavy work, so it's fine as long as it can be used. By the way, you gave me a book on acupuncture points before, do you remember?"

Chu Yunchuan argued: "Even if you want to learn acupuncture with your left hand, you have to use your right hand..."

"Stop, Fang Zhiheng said that I can only take care of it, but you still want to treat it? Do you want to tear my bones apart and then put them back together? Teach me acupuncture points, and the matter with my right hand will be written off."

"The Imperial Hospital is full of talented people, maybe there will be..."

"You talk too much." Bai Zhi pulled Chu Yunchuan by the collar and forced him back a few steps, then pushed him against the white wall opposite the accounting counter. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Chu Yunchuan's lips without saying a word.

A firework suddenly exploded in her mind.

Chu Yunchuan didn't expect her to do this. His breathing suddenly quickened. He pinched Bai Zhi's wrists and handcuffed them behind her back. He pressed the back of her head and kissed her deeply, snatching the air from Bai Zhi's mouth like a madman, like a thirsty person seeking water.

Without a foothold on her hands, Bai Zhi could not stand steadily and was about to fall. She subconsciously tried to free her hands, but when Chu Yunchuan noticed, he held them even tighter, with such force that he seemed determined to act like a chain.

Bai Zhi felt numb, swollen and itchy in her heart and her chest was almost suffocated.

"Boss, someone is looking for you."

Bai Zhi opened her eyes suddenly at the shouting that was so close, but Chu Yunchuan still had no intention of letting her go. Bai Zhi kicked him twice but to no avail. She turned her head sharply and saw Zhou Shensi standing by the counter with a frown on his face. "Oh - so Yunchuan is your lover, boss. Boss, why don't you let him come here to work? It would be better to hide him at home so that he won't show up in public and people will worry about him."
