Chapter 455: Chapter 453: Harvesting Quite a Few Hearts_1
 

“More than twenty young girls, what should we do? Even if we don’t sleep, the house won’t fit them all.”

After the shock, Feng Liu rubbed her temples as she looked at the yard full of girls.

“There’s only one Shichen left before dawn. Let’s squeeze together for now. We’ll stay up outside, and when daylight comes, we’ll arrange for people to send them home.”

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou exchanged glances, and both voluntarily gave up their rooms.

“We’ll stay in the yard too. We’ll just find a place to lean against and sleep for a while.”

Wang Meng and Shitou naturally couldn’t lag behind, and quickly followed suit.

“Brother, I’m tired and want to sleep for a while.”

Lin Qingluo yawned while covering her mouth.

“Little sister, go to sleep. You must be exhausted.”

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou immediately felt heartbroken, and hurriedly urged her to go inside.

“Well, I won’t be polite with you all. I’m going to sleep now.”

Lin Qingluo stretched lazily, went behind the curtain into the room, laid down on the bed in her clothes, and soon fell asleep.

“Is our little sister asleep?”

The Lin siblings softly lifted the curtain, sneakily peeked at the bed, and seeing their sister sleeping soundly, they finally felt relieved and lowered the curtain.

As soon as the sky turned bright, Feng Liu started busying in the kitchen, with Wang Meng helping her make breakfast and steam buns.

Twenty girls, plus the Lin siblings, added up to several dozen people, and even with Feng Liu’s excellent culinary skills, she was still breaking a sweat preparing breakfast for everyone.

Fortunately, these girls were daughters of fishermen and accustomed to housework since childhood. Seeing them busying about, they couldn’t bear sitting idle and decided to help.

With everyone working together, it took almost half a Shichen to finish breakfast for dozens of people.

Lin Jinxu was knowledgeable in both literature and martial arts, with excellent handwriting.

Taking advantage of the breakfast preparation time, he set up ink, brush, paper, and inkstone on a stone table to register the girls’ names and addresses one by one. This would help report to the County Government Office and facilitate the notification of their families by the government officers.

His handsome features exuded grace and courtesy, which were unmatched by ordinary fishermen even though he was dressed in simple clothes.

The elegant young master, writing and talking gently with the girls, won the hearts of more than a dozen of them in just one morning.

They stared at him with affection, their cheeks turning red with shyness, speaking softly, twisting their voices, and feigning coy expressions.

Lin Jinxu remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by the provocative gazes focused on him. He diligently registered and organized their information.

“Brother Xu, are you going to town today?”

Feng Yi returned from morning archery practice with a quiver on his back. Just as he saw Lin Jinxu finish writing, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to the stone table.

“I won’t go, there are more important things to do.”

Lin Jinxu smiled lightly, putting away the ink, brush, paper, and inkstone, and tucked the prepared roster into his chest.

With his graceful demeanor, he immediately attracted another wave of heated stares.

Women are really troublesome!

Feng Yi sensed something wrong, scanned his surroundings, and saw the lovesick girls, shivering involuntarily.

“Feng Yi, do you want to go to town? Is there something going on?”

Shitou also came in, running and sweating profusely. He casually wiped the sweat from his face and flicked it on the ground.

The vulgar action provoked dissatisfaction among the girls, and their gaze towards him became even more unfriendly.

He still hadn’t gotten over calling them ghosts last night!

“Achoo!”

Feeling a chill down his back, Shitou sneezed, rubbing his nose and subconsciously looking around, inevitably receiving a series of contemptuous glances.
