Chapter 340: You’re Really a Kid

340 You’re Really a Kid

After talking with Soujin, most of the time was spent for Jun Hua to prepare for her own marriage. Somehow, she felt more nervous compared with advancing to the frontline and fight. Still, she continued to do her duty in making the dress, though Qin Shie had to help her due to her lesser skill in embroidery.

Because Qin Shie was busy dealing with the preparation for marriage, she often came to Jun Hua's residence and talked about many things. From her, Jun Hua found out the fact about the Qin Family and Yan complicated birth.

Jun Hua patiently listened to everything Qin Shie told her and she prepared herself for everything that was needed. After a few days of busying herself, Jun Hua felt incredibly tired.

"Mother won't be coming today?" Jun Hua turned her head to Xiao Yun, who was cleaning up the mess she created on the table.

"Madam Qin is busy today, so she won't be coming," Xiao Yun answered politely. After undergone harsh training under Xia about how to serve their Miss, she had grown better in behaving herself.

Jun Hua looked towards Xiao Yun. Somehow, she kind of missing the previous innocent Xiao Yun since she was really funny. However, now that her conduct already correct like this, she didn't have to worry about her being inappropriate anymore.

"Tell Xia that I will be going for a while."

"Wait Miss…" Xiao Yun turned around only to find Jun Hua already disappeared. If anything, the only thing she still couldn't do was preventing Jun Hua to go. Seeing that Jun Hua had already gone to who-knew-where, she could only sigh and went out to report to Xia. Hopefully Xia would not blame it on her.

Jun Hua slipped away from the residence towards the small lake near the capital. Since she was in the Ming City, which previously was the capital of Ming Kingdom, she was very familiar with the place. Her favorite place hadn't changed as she looked towards the lake with shining eyes.

It was not like she didn't have any other place like this, but she liked the one over here very much. Due to many accidents and all, she hadn't gone here for a long time. Luckily, there were not many people coming here due to the ghost rumor. She didn't realize that she was the cause of the rumor, though.

Taking off her shoes, she slipped her foot into the lake. The cool water made her feet felt really comfortable. Looking towards the water surface, she noticed that someone had come.

"Soujin… why did I meet you whenever I go?" she asked jokingly.

Soujin arched his eyebrows, "Shouldn't I ask you what you're doing here when you're supposedly preparing in your residence?"

"I'm bored," Jun Hua answered.

Soujin already expected that answer. When he previously visited the 'sick' Jun Hua, she seemed to not be able to stay quiet. Now that he knew that she was actually Jun Min, he realized that she already sneaked out during that time and posed as Jun Min to meet with Ming Hui.

"You still like to come here despite the rumor?"

"I don't believe in ghost," Jun Hua answered.

Soujin nodded his head and glanced towards Jun Hua feet, "Don't take too long in the water. You will get sick."

"Just this amount won't make me sick. I'm already used to fighting below the rain," Jun Hua retorted. She didn't want to end her fun here yet.

Soujin sighed to himself. It will take him a long time to get used with her being the same with Jun Min. When he faced Jun Min previously, he didn't care about the other party to the extreme. Now that Jun Hua was Jun Min, sometime he felt that he was at lost about how to interact with her.

Moving her hand, he rubbed Jun Hua head tenderly, "You're still a girl."

Jun Hua was stunned at Soujin's gesture. Her mouth curled up into a smile, "I'm already a woman. In a few more days, I will be 18."

"You're still not 18 yet, so you're still a kid," Soujin answered.

"No way, 17 already an adult," Jun Hua protested.

Somehow, their debate turned into this matter again. After a few more exchange the two of them looked towards each other and laughed. Their conversation had turned into a complete joke again like the way they used to interact with each other.

In truth, Soujin knew that she was no longer a kid. However, he tried to convince himself to think about her that way. This was the best way he could think to allow himself to have more restraint around her. He wouldn't want to have her slapped his face hard again.

Jun Hua stood up and wiped her feet before wearing her shoes again. While she was wearing the shoes again, Soujin looked towards Jun Hua with interest.

"Do you like shoes very much?"

"…" do you really think I'm looking towards your shoes?

"I'm thinking about the time we meet here. You're not feeling well, and you were soaking your feet into the pond too," Soujin answered.

Jun Hua recalled her memory once again. At that time, she was trying to erase this man from her thought, so she sneaked outside the residence. Unfortunately, she instead bumped into him once again. Coincidentally, that day was the first time she had her period, making her feeling unwell.

When her thought came to that point, her face blushed red. This man must have remembered that incident again. She didn't want him to talk about it anymore.

"Just erase that thought from your memory," Jun Hua said indignantly.

"No way," Soujin chuckled, forming a devilish smile on his handsome face. That was probably the first time he saw her as a woman rather than a girl. Though, in his eyes, she was still a little kid he needed to protect.

"If you already know about it, why don't you tell me at that time?" Jun Hua humped.

"Do you really want a man to tell you things like that?"

Jun Hua's brain worked again. Well, no. There was no way she would want to hear something like that from a man. Just from him knowing it already made her incredibly embarrassed.

"I will just return now," Jun Hua walked away.

Soujin moved forward to pull her closer to him, but she sneakily moved from the way before disappearing into the darkness. Soujin smiled slightly, she can run now, but later she won't be able to run away anymore.
