Su Miao watched as Shen Changji leaned closer, understanding what he meant. Just as he was about to kiss her, she turned her head away.

A complex mix of emotions surged within his deep, silent eyes.

"Brother, you don't need to push yourself like this."

She gently grasped his long, silent arm, trying to attach her fear to it with force.

Shen Changji looked at her, placed his hand on the arrow, and tried to distract her with words.

"If you're afraid of the pain, why did you even try to block it?"

With his abilities, that arrow wouldn't have caused him any harm at all.

Hearing this, Su Miao chuckled softly, "Perhaps it's because of Brother Xinyue that he didn't think too much when he saw the danger..."

The darkness in Shen Changji's eyes deepened. "If it hurts, just scream it out."

"It doesn't hurt. I'm not as delicate as my brother thinks. After all, I've often gone up the mountain with Father to collect herbs. It's common for me to fall, slip, and get scrapes. I can handle this little bit of pain."

When Su Miao said these words, she called out "Father" very softly, and her eyes held a different kind of thought.

When Shen Changji removed the arrow, Su Miao didn't cry out in pain, but her hand gripped his arm tightly, trembling slightly.

"Going up the mountain to gather herbs?"

"yes……"

Su Miao could feel that the arrow had been pulled out, and then turned her head and said, "Brother, let Tao'er come in and apply the medicine for me."

He stared at Su Miao in silence, the strands of hair on her cheeks fluttering gently as she moved, adding a touch of charm to her beautiful face.

Moreover, her eyes were slightly red and glistening with tears, making her look even more pitiful.

"Now you're playing hard to get, and then using that to push your luck later?" Shen Changji said lazily, raising his lips.

Su Miao: "..."

No wonder the Duke's family arranged his marriage before he was even born; there was a reason for it...

Even though her thoughts were seen through, Su Miao didn't show it on her face.

Instead, she raised an eyebrow and said, "I couldn't be happier if my brother were willing to do it himself."

As she spoke, Su Miao decisively unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her fair shoulders, her watery eyes looking at Chen Changji.

Su Miao was injured on the birthmark.

She pulled open her clothes with perfect precision, neither too much nor too little, just enough to cover the injured area.

Holding the medicine, Shen Changji couldn't help but let his gaze travel down the fair lines of her neck...

Sure enough, she's a fairy...

"You're really shameless." Shen Changji's eyes darkened, especially when he saw Su Miaojiao smiling at him.

"Be gentle, brother."

Upon hearing Su Miao's voice, Chen Changji couldn't help but press down slightly harder, but only with a fraction of his strength.

"Ah...brother..."

Su Miao's voice was incredibly sweet and seductive, which made Shen Changji's face darken.

"Don't shout so loudly!"

"Hmm... Brother hit so hard, and I'm not even allowed to cry out in pain."

"You're so naughty... Brother! Be gentle... Be gentle..."

A long silence followed: "..."

Tonight is the Lantern Festival. Xie Qin had just stepped out when he heard about Shen Changji's assassination attempt. He happened to be nearby, so he rushed over.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard ambiguous sounds coming from the side room. The woman's charming tone made him fantasize.

He pointed in surprise to the side room, then stared wide-eyed at the lone eagle beside him.

Those repeated calls of "brother" made Xie Qin guess that the woman inside was Su Miao!

"Your cousin?" he couldn't help but ask.

Lone Eagle nodded.

Xie Qin looked even more astonished, her mouth agape as if she could fit two eggs in it.

Shen Changji is quite the lad!

It's astonishing that he always has such a cold and aloof demeanor whenever he mentions this Su sister, yet he's so unrestrained and ruthless in private!

He really underestimated his good brother!

He remained silent for a long time; he really knew how to hide it well!

I guess Liu Jiaojiao doesn't know about this yet?

Oh my, thinking of this, Xie Qin seemed to have discovered some huge secret, and his heart became even more excited.

Everyone thought that this General Shen was indifferent to women and treated his betrothed wife with cold indifference, but who would have thought... tsk tsk, what a fierce tiger was behind him!

Just as Xie Qin was about to burst into laughter with excitement, the door to the side room opened, and Chen Changji came out from inside.

Xie Qin's smile froze, and her expression froze for a moment. "So fast?"

"Otherwise, how slow do you want me to be?" Shen Changji glanced at him dismissively and walked to the next room.

Xie Qin gasped. He looked at the long, silent figure and nodded thoughtfully.

It turns out that a person who seems fierce may not be able to persevere in certain things!

? ? ?

But... this is too fast...
