LiShuang's skin was burned by the burning cigarette butt. She threw away the cigarette, as if she had found an outlet for her emotions.
"Why couldn't you come earlier..."
Isn't it said that he is very powerful?
If he could come earlier, no matter who he was saving, at least I wouldn't have to feel so guilty...
ShenJi pursed his lips and spoke in a light voice.
"I don't have a portal, so I won't appear at the first opportunity when you run around. I also need to consider many people and won't let them act without any preparation."
LiShuang held his head in his palms.
I felt like there was a huge rock pressing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. I wanted to cry but couldn't.
Just when the atmosphere was becoming so depressing that it was almost suffocating.
LiShuang adjusted her mood and said, "I'll trouble you with one more thing."
ShenJi held the lighter in his palm and looked at her sideways.
"Explain."
LiShuang: "Can Chu Xi stay with you until she recovers?"
BaJie blinked: [Why? You finally got her out, wouldn't she be scared to death here with ShenJi?]
LiShuang was in a heavy mood: [I am not sure if there will be any follow-up danger. With her by my side, I can't take care of her.]
[If she were with ShenYuci, I'm worried something might happen and she would become a hostage again.]
[ShenJi here...at least if he agrees, it will be safer. ]
ShenJi listened to her inner thoughts and did not show any major emotional fluctuations.
After thinking about it, she could only compare him with ShenYuci.
It's just about how to use him.
"Hmm." ShenJi hummed softly, and there was a look of dejection in his lowered eyes.
LiShuang: "Thank you, I will come to see her when I have time."
The atmosphere froze once again, and at the other end of the corridor, the sound of tapping on the ground approached.
ShenJi didn't look up, but just curled his lips and laughed softly.
"Someone is here to take you back."
LiShuang looked in the direction of the voice, and the first thing she saw was ShenJing, whose clothes were no longer neat and tidy.
It was only when she glanced past him that she saw ShenYuci.
He came closer with the help of a cane . His temperament had changed drastically since he took off his glasses.
He was no longer so gentle, and his subtle viciousness seemed more obvious.
ShenYuci stood in front of the two of them, his voice containing a chill.
"Uncle looks a little tired, didn't you get enough rest?"
ShenJi glanced at LiShuang beside him, playing with his lighter, and spoke in a lazy tone.
"Well, your little fiancée is draining me dry."
ShenYuci smiled instead of getting angry: "I heard that my uncle went to the South District and even used my people."
ShenJi stood up, and his tall figure fell over with a strong sense of oppression.
"So when you sleep, keep your only remaining eye open. One day, your people might take your life for me."
LiShuang frowned slightly when she heard them talking in riddles.
[Where did his or your people come from? ]
BaJie: [No.]
When ShenJi thought about what happened this time, his eyes became unfathomable.
ShenYuci shifted his gaze to LiShuang.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
"I'll have someone guarding this place. If anything happens, I'll notify you immediately. You need to pack up and take a rest."
ShenJi stood there, with his back to LiShuang, speaking in a firm tone.
"Of course, if you don't want to leave, I'll throw this cripple out."
LiShuang hesitated for a few seconds.
"I'd better wait here and see how they react. You're still injured, so go back and rest first."
ShenYuci didn't want to force her, so he nodded with extra tolerance.
"If you can use me, please contact me."
LiShuang nodded.
After ShenYuci left, ShenJi's face became terribly gloomy. He turned around and grabbed LiShuang's chin and squeezed it.
"What? His wounds are wounds, but mine are ketchup? Have you ever cared about me from the beginning till now?"
LiShuang frowned: [Sooner or later he will crush my chin! ]
ShenJi loosened his strength a little: "Speak, don't play dead."
LiShuang didn't understand where his anger came from and asked in a very official manner.
"Does your wound still hurt?"
Although it was inappropriate, ShenJi thought of Tang Shi's sissy attitude towards Tang Yu, pulled LiShuang's hand to press it on his abdomen, and frowned.
"I'm dying of pain."
"Where..." LiShuang's eyelashes trembled: "Where does it hurt?"
[He is so full of energy. He is pressing so hard, but it doesn't seem to hurt at all, okay? ]
BaJie: […Is it possible that he is pretending?]
ShenJi: "..."
Shut up.
ShenJi was not at all embarrassed by being exposed. He pulled her up and continued to press the back of her hand with his palm, holding her tightly against his lower abdomen.
The tone was firm yet with an inexplicable...coquettishness?
"It hurts right here. I had to get seventeen stitches. The wound is very deep, and it opened up a little today."
As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and rested his forehead heavily on her shoulder.
His nose soon smelled the fragrance of her hair, and the irritability in his heart instantly calmed down, and he closed his eyes.
LiShuang: "?"
BaJie: [? ]
LiShuang said awkwardly: "This is a hospital, how about... you go in and take a look?"
ShenJi's arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, and his voice was buried in the crook of her neck.
"Stupid woman, I was just pretending."
LiShuang only had a pair of eyes that appeared above his shoulder and blinked.
"You are...proud?"
ShenJi couldn't describe the feeling he had during this period. It was just sour and astringent, with a little bitterness, and he kept thinking about it over and over again.
His arms tightened again: "I chose you, why did you choose someone else?"
She has already revealed her cards, why is she still so stupid?
Could it be that I was winking at a blind man?
Where is her usual cleverness?
LiShuang's emotions were fluctuating greatly at this moment, and her thoughts could not keep up with his words at all.
"Why did you choose me?"
ShenJi let go of her a little, his lowered eyes moving between her confused brows, suddenly raised his hand to press the back of her neck and kissed her lips hard.
This kiss suffocated LiShuang so much that she resisted, but he did not let her go.
ShenJi greedily wanted to plunder her breath.
When he saw Tang Yu's message, he contacted and made arrangements immediately.
But he didn't expect her to rush over so quickly. Even if he guessed that the honey drop was profitable for her, he would not easily attack her.
But I'm still scared.
Finally.
"I've seen many people throw themselves into the arms of men, but this is the first time I've seen someone steal someone's life."
ShenJi let her go with a hoarse voice, and stared at her eyes full of spring color with burning eyes.
LiShuang: "…"
[Bullshit! I just can't stand steadily, can you use the belt to support me? ]
She pulled out the fingers that she had accidentally inserted into his belt with disgust.
ShenJi rubbed the hair on the back of her head and pressed it close to his arms, then spoke with a sigh.
"I was so angry that I wanted to scold you just now."
"..." LiShuang was speechless after hearing this: "Let me go!"
ShenJi hugged her tighter.
"But I admit that I lost a little."
LiShuang was silent for a moment: "What did you lose?"
"Here." ShenJi took her hand and placed it on his chest.
"You're affecting my heartbeat."
BaJie sneered: [What kind of culture is that? That's called heartbeat! ]
After saying [Woohoo!], he said: [Master, ShenJi likes you!]
LiShuang's heart trembled.
For some reason, a sense of unknown uneasiness overwhelmed her joy and instead affected her heartbeat and judgment.
"Wait a moment." LiShuang pushed him away easily with a little force.
In this silent world, since my mother passed away, I no longer have the word "like," and I don't understand what it feels like to feel joy other than family affection.
Are you curious?
Do you find it interesting?
Want to tease her?
Is it sour with a hint of bitterness?
Are you afraid that she will disappear?
Anyway…
BaJie said that it could be heart-throb or love.
ShenJi lowered his eyes, and every inch of his gaze on her was filled with a strong possessiveness.
Anyway…
She should understand what he means, right?
