Chapter 47 We'll Always Be Together Su Jinmu held the boy's wrist, and...

Su Jinmu stood still, with an ancient and serene temple not far in front of her. The sky was overcast, displaying a tranquil, watery blue hue.

The boy in front of him held his wrist, his smile was faint, almost eerie, as he held his hand tightly and stared at him.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu had a headache.

Li Xin was too smart. From the moment he guessed or sensed that Li Xin wanted to leave, the seed of doubt was already planted in his heart.

Therefore, they feel uneasy, vigilant, and fierce.

It's happening all the time.

Su Jinmu knew his wariness and intentionally tried to calm him down.

But I did try to comfort him, and I took the initiative to take him with me for three consecutive days.

Li Xin relaxed slightly, but as soon as he noticed any signs of trouble, he became alert and tense again.

Su Jinmu believed she had done everything she could.

But Li Xin guessed he wanted to leave, and he did indeed want to leave.

There is no solution to this.

Su Jinmu's expression was not cold; as she pondered, she slightly pursed her lips, her bright eyes remaining calm and deep.

He hates being restricted.

Su Jinmu looked at Li Xin quietly, while Li Xin stared at his expression and tilted his head slightly.

Like a wild beast, or some kind of domesticated animal, observing human expressions.

Wild and untamed.

It also appeared dark and eerie.

……not good.

A strange and ominous feeling welled up inside him. Li Xin's eyes grew increasingly dark. He tightened his grip on the other person's wrist, pursed his lips, and tried to appear calm.

"Young Master."

His voice was very soft.

Su Jinmu casually pulled her hand back, glanced at the temple, and said, "Are you still going to pray? If not, let's leave."

He tried to pull his wrist away and turned to leave. But the force on his wrist suddenly tightened and pulled, holding him firmly.

Su Jinmu turned around and saw that the boy had thick, dark eyebrows and eyes, and his pale skin stood out against the dim night, with his dark eyebrows, eyes, and scarlet lips.

It became increasingly eerie and sinister.

But the voice grew softer and softer, and the fingertips rubbed against his wrist.

"Go, I'll go myself."

Su Jinmu pursed her lips and stopped to look at him.

Li Xin paused for a moment, as if hesitating, then slowly released his grip on the young master, stared at him for a while, and then slowly turned and headed into the temple.

The eaves are dilapidated, and the temple is old.

A pale, ghost-like figure walked in and bowed silently.

I couldn't see their expressions, so I couldn't tell if they were sincere or not, but the surroundings were too quiet.

The silence was so profound it felt suffocating.

Su Jinmu glanced in that direction a few times, then casually looked away before the boy turned around and came out, as if she had never looked at him at all.

Su Jinmu turned and walked out. The boy behind her quickly approached, his footsteps blending into his own, creating an eerie silence. He gently probed and tugged at her sleeve.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu took a barely perceptible deep breath, pretending not to have noticed, and continued walking out.

But the boy was clearly not satisfied with that. When he saw that Su Jinmu did not refuse, his rough fingertips slowly reached out and half-circled her wrist.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu silently turned around and glanced at him.

The boy's lips turned down, his eyes were dark, and he looked pitiful as he obediently withdrew his hand and pulled his shirt hem back up.

As darkness fell and they couldn't find suitable soil, the group returned the way they came.

Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui clearly sensed that something was wrong, and huddled together like two little chicks for warmth.

Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered, unsure of what had happened, but remained as quiet as chickens, huddled together.

Two sobs escaped my lips.

I should have just honestly looked for soil instead of wandering around aimlessly.

Now look what's happened, things have gone wrong.

...Sigh.

Back at the Su family home.

Su Jinmu was slightly annoyed; Li Xin was too clever and also obscure and clingy.

He was unsure what to do.

After washing up, I went to bed and slept.

After more than a decade of experience in the Su family, he had grown weary of close relationships.

As for Li Xin...

Su Jinmu frowned slightly, turned over to face the inside, couldn't think clearly for a moment, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Outside, Li Xin stood by the bed, staring at the young master who was lying inside with his back to him.

Slowly squatting down, close to the bed, I reached out and touched a corner of the other person's scattered pajamas.

The fabric was soft and carried a faint warmth from my body.

But she couldn't reach the young master's hand.

Li Xin stared intently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He raised his hand, his fingertips brushing against the young master's waist, getting closer and closer, tightening his grip with his knuckles.

As he left the temple, he realized that although he appeared calm, he was actually going a little crazy.

She wanted the young master, she wanted him to belong entirely to her, and she wanted to be with him all the time.

He was a madman, he was paranoid, he was dark.

He's always been like that.

He wanted to possess Su Jinmu completely and absolutely.

From body to mind.

He wants the complete young master, the whole thing.

Li Xin laughed silently, a low laugh, the corners of his scarlet lips curving upwards.

He climbed onto the bed, stared at the sleeping young master Su, leaned down, his icy body temperature close to his, and gently pressed his head against the back of the young master's neck.

He raised his head and licked that slender, pale neck with his wet, chilling touch.

A light, sweet fragrance spread with each breath, and the young master was so close to him, so very close.

So close that you could bump into it with the slightest movement.

Li Xin laughed even harder, his laughter chilling and eerie. He lowered his head, completely enveloping the young master in his shadow.

I brought my hand close to her soft, smooth earlobe, gently licked it, and slowly took a bite.

Like a sleepless ghost, or a seductive temptress, it licks you little by little.

Su Jinmu was sleeping soundly. In her dream, she vaguely felt an itch from being rubbed, and unconsciously moved away.

The boy behind her paused, slowly backed away a little, and waited until he fell asleep again before quietly and eerily smiling as he approached.

She licked the corner of his mouth, hooking it around his small, rosy lips, slowly licking and caressing them.

Young master.

It smells so good and it's so soft.

His. His. His. His.

Li Xin's smile widened, chillingly cold, as he gently pressed his lips against those warm ones.

...Want to leave?

No.

.

When Su Jinmu woke up in the morning, she felt a slight pain in her lips, but after looking in the mirror, she didn't find anything wrong, except that they were a little red.

He gets a headache just looking at Li Xin now, so he went out with Feng Yixing early in the morning.

It was so early, and the club that Feng Yixing frequented wasn't open yet, so the two of them strolled around the streets at their leisure.

There weren't many people on the road yet. Su Jinmu walked slowly forward. The surroundings were quiet, and there were no strange or unusual noises.

Unlike before, when it was dark, the light was dim, and visibility was poor.

It was bright daylight, and everything was in sight, but even so, that feeling of being entangled by something, like a shadow following you, drifted over.

It was clearly stuck to his back.

Su Jinmu: "...???"

Su Jinmu glanced back a few times, but didn't see anyone. She pursed her lips, turned back, and continued walking forward without looking again.

The next afternoon, he went to another flower and plant market, bought some more soil, and carried it with him, intending to continue browsing to see if there was any suitable soil left.

The lingering, persistent feeling persisted. Before long, a shadow pressed down from behind, enveloping the shadow beneath their feet.

A few cool breaths brushed against my ear, and my hand was brushed by rough fingertips, hooking into the edge of the handle.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced back at him, her hand still gripping the handle. "Is something wrong?"

That was too cold.

Li Xin's lips twitched, his pitiful and aggrieved expression turning downwards. His pupils were dark, and he squeezed Su Jinmu's hand into the narrow gap of the handle, pressing it against his hand, his voice very soft.

"Young Master, I've learned my lesson."

"I'll be a good bed partner and behave well, young master, please don't bother me."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Not necessarily. If they really learn their lesson, they won't follow him anymore.

"Need not."

Su Jinmu pulled on the handle, trying to put the item back, but the boy on the other end gripped it tightly, looking at him sullenly.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu stared at him for a while, then withdrew her hand and handed him the soil she was carrying.

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Xin's face, gentle and docile. He then lifted the soil in one hand and slowly raised the other hand to hold onto Su Jinmu's clothes.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu took a deep breath and let him go.

Back at the Su family home, Su Jinmu carried soil into the greenhouse, and Li Xin followed behind him, about to step inside.

Su Jinmu stood at the door and calmly stopped him, "Transplanting plants is easy to kill. I can do it myself. You don't need to come in."

The glass door was thin, but one of them stood inside and the other outside. A slight anxiety welled up in Li Xin's heart, and a hint of resentment seemed to be there.

But she didn't show it on her face; she just looked down at him, wanting to go inside.

Su Jinmu said calmly, "Didn't you learn your lesson? Don't be so clingy."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut, the transparent glass door closed, and then pressed the switch, instantly turning the transparent glass into complete darkness.

Not a trace could be seen.

Li Xin stood outside, a fierce rage surging within him. He couldn't see or touch anyone, and a chilling feeling kept rising, stimulating his nerves.

His eyes were dark and viscous, eerily black, and he silently scratched the glass wall with his fingertips.

He lowered his head, moved closer, pressed his forehead against the glass, and pressed his whole body against it, his cold gaze trying to see through the opaque material to see the young master inside.

Young master.

Young master.

Su Jinmu: "..."

After adjusting the glass tint to block everyone's view, Su Jinmu relaxed her breathing and let out a soft sigh.

Li Xin is definitely outside; he can't make too much noise.

Su Jinmu revealed the opening of the passage and took out the soil left over from the previous construction of the underground layer.

Comparing the exposed soil layers in the narrow, deep passage, I carefully arranged the soil in my hands, trying to organize it according to the shape of the surrounding soil layers.

This way, after death, the passage can be filled in, and the soil layers will be uniform, so no clues will be found.

However, this is a meticulous task.

Trying to artificially simulate natural soil layers that have formed over thousands of years is extremely difficult.

Su Jinmu removed some soil, got covered in dirt, estimated the time, quickly covered the passage, and then hurriedly changed the soil for several potted plants.

He was covered in dirt.

Su Jinmu patted himself down and tidied himself up a bit.

Li Xin was still waiting outside, his fierce aura rising slowly, cold and terrifying. His fingertips tapped the glass slowly, but he didn't make any disturbing noise.

He waited quietly, a slight, forced smile playing on his lips.

Su Jinmu had just changed the glass back to transparent when she looked up and was caught off guard by the figure outside.

As dusk fell, the outside was gloomy. Outside the glass, Li Xin was pressed against it, his forehead against the glass, his palms leaving two horrifying marks on the glass.

Upon seeing Su Jinmu, the corners of his scarlet lips suddenly curled up, a look that was both docile and eerie.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Fortunately, he has no heart problems; if it were someone timid, just one look would give them nightmares.

Tsk.

Su Jinmu opened the door and went out. Li Xin quickly came over, tugged at his clothes, and smiled.

"Has the young master finished changing the soil?"

Su Jinmu: "...No, there are so many flowers in the greenhouse."

Li Xin's lips twitched slightly, meaning that they would have to keep changing them.

We had to go into the dark, indistinct greenhouse again.

Li Xin pursed his lips, tightened his grip on the hem of his clothes, and glanced at his wrist.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu casually moved her hand to the side.

Li Xin: "..."

.

The Xu family called Su Jinmu over. Su Jinmu and Li Xin had been having a strange relationship lately, so she didn't refuse and went directly.

It's so hot! The temperature has been unusually high these days. Even the cicadas outside are chirping weakly, and the heat makes people increasingly drowsy.

Su Jinmu went inside and, away from the direct sunlight, felt her skin temperature cool down a bit, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Knock knock".

He knocked on the door.

Su Han quickly came over, saw Su Jinmu outside, and smiled, "Come in, come in, are you hot?"

"..." Su Jinmu nodded honestly, "It's hot."

It's so hot.

The sun was so strong it felt like it could melt you.

The air conditioner was humming in the room. It was hot, and people didn't have much energy. Xu Sibai was busy in the kitchen.

Xu Yu slumped on the sofa and waved to him with a nonchalant expression, "Come and relax for a while."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled and sat down.

Xu Sibai made watermelon smoothie today. Last time I saw Su Jinmu really liked it, so I made a different flavor.

The watermelon is juicy, and its light red color flows down the cracks in the shaved ice, spreading out in a misty haze, bringing a refreshing touch to the midsummer.

"Jinmu, stop standing there and eat quickly, it's too hot outside."

Su Jinmu scooped some into a small bowl as usual. The sweet shaved ice melted in her mouth, and the heat dissipated a lot. She slowly exhaled.

"It's been so hot lately," Xu Sibai clicked his tongue. "The temperature is too high. Why doesn't it rain to cool things down?"

Xu Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's so hot that I don't even want to go out."

Xu Sibai glanced at the bright, blinding sun outside, lost in thought, "This kind of sustained high temperature is too uncomfortable."

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Dad, you look like you're about to observe the celestial phenomena at night."

Su Han smiled and nodded.

Xu Sibai: "..."

Xu Sibai gently touched her head and smiled, "It's hot, so it's inconvenient to go out. Jinmu is also hot here, so she's being more mindful."

Su Jinmu smiled slightly.

A few people gathered around eating smoothies, which slightly reduced the sweltering heat. Despite the summer heat, Xuyu continued to lounge on the sofa.

Xu Sibai went into the kitchen to clear the dishes, and Su Han patted Su Jinmu's head, "You sit here with your sister Yuyu for a while, I'll tidy up."

Su Jinmu: "???"

Su Jinmu sat on the sofa. The empty bowls had already been taken into the kitchen by Xu Sibai. There was nothing else to clean up.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Su Han's eyes curved slightly, and her smile became gentle. "Come with me."

Su Jinmu followed her to the door of Professor Su Han and Mr. Xu Sibai's room, stopped but did not go in, and looked inside.

On the ground was an open travel backpack, with ropes, raincoats, folding canes, and emergency thermal paper scattered around it.

These are all outdoor gear.

Su Jinmu glanced around, then raised an eyebrow. "Are we going up the mountain?"

"right."

Su Han nodded, "It's too hot in the city, I can't stand it anymore. I'm planning to go up the mountain for a walk. It'll be much cooler up there than in the city."

Su Han clicked her tongue, "It's a pity that neither Yu Yu nor Si Bai will come with me."

"It's so hot, I don't want to move." Xu Yu appeared behind Su Jinmu without anyone noticing.

Su Jinmu didn't even notice her approaching. He paused for a moment, then turned slightly to the side, not showing her the back of his head.

Xu Yu glanced at his hair, then looked at Su Han in the bedroom, a slight smile playing on her lips, her face calm and serene.

"It's so hot, why are you hiking up the mountain? If you were taking a car, I'd go with you, but hiking... no thanks."

Su Han: "..."

Su Han pouted, "It won't be hot anymore when we get halfway up the mountain."

Xu Yu remained expressionless. "I melted as soon as I reached the bottom of the mountain."

"..."

Su Jinmu suddenly chuckled twice, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

He laughed, and Su Han laughed along with him. She glanced at him, looked him up and down, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "How about... Jin Mu comes with me?"

Su Jinmu: "...??"

ah?

It is indeed very hot.

Su Jinmu paused slightly, and Su Han patted his shoulder, "Come with your aunt, it's no fun going alone."

She smiled, her voice seductive, "I can come and go the same day. You don't need to bring anything, just wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants, I'll take care of the rest, how about that?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

"Where's Mr. Xu? Isn't he going?" He looked around.

"He can't go."

Xu Yu clicked her tongue, "That Li family member is clinging to us. If Mom and Dad go up the mountain, he might follow them and spoil their mood."

"No one will be happy about it then."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Nearby, Su Han still looked at him with a hint of expectation, and Su Jinmu pursed his lips and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go then."

It's no big deal to go.

.

Su Jinmu returned to the Su family home, wanting to talk to Li Xin about this matter. The ghost thing had been following him lately. Although it didn't show itself, he could still vaguely feel that it was being watched.

Su Jinmu was too lazy to pay attention and let him be.

But the mountain path was difficult and strenuous, and if Li Xin were to follow along, he would have to conceal his footsteps as he climbed the mountain.

It's unsafe.

Just as Su Jinmu was about to say something, Li Xin came up to him.

"Young Master, I would like to ask for a day off tomorrow."

Su Jinmu: "???"

Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yes, the Xu family is being pestered by the Li family for help, which shows how desperate the Li family is.

The Li family is busy, and Li Xin must be quite busy as well.

Su Jinmu nodded lightly, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

He didn't ask why he was taking leave, as usual.

Li Xin stared at him intently for a while.

the next day.

When Su Jinmu woke up, Li Xin had already left.

It's rare that I wasn't strangled so tightly this morning that I could barely turn around.

Su Jinmu pinched the bridge of her nose and got up to tidy herself up.

He didn't have much experience climbing mountains, and judging from Professor Su Han's extensive equipment, it must not be an ordinary mountain.

Just as she said, I wore a thick long-sleeved shirt and trousers and met her at the agreed place.

The car went directly to the foot of the mountain, and we got out and started walking.

Su Han was carrying a very large bag. Su Jinmu glanced at it, then reached out and said, "Let me carry it."

"No need, here, take this."

Su Han took a small bag out of the large bag. "There's some basic water, food, and something to keep warm and windproof inside. Carry it yourself."

The small bag was taken out of the large bag, and the large bag immediately deflated a lot, looking less heavy. Su Jinmu smiled, took it, and carried it on her back.

"Ready? Let's go!"

Su Jinmu followed her up the steps. There were steps, but they were steep and uneven. Occasionally, they had to cross wooden bridges connected by iron chains.

Su Han walked as if on flat ground, glanced back at Su Jinmu, and seeing that he was keeping up steadily, a hint of appreciation appeared in her eyes, "Is that alright? Even your Uncle Xu can't keep up with me."

Su Jinmu's lips curved slightly. "It's alright, it's not bad."

Before Li Xinqiao and Ting Rui came, he took care of all the flowers in the garden greenhouse by himself. The workload was not small and it was not easy, so he didn't feel too tired at the moment.

It was indeed cool on the mountain. At first, it was very hot walking under the sun, but the temperature gradually decreased as we got higher.

The wind blew out from the valley, sharp and cold, even carrying a hint of chill.

A drop of moisture fell onto her cheek.

Su Jinmu: "???"

He looked down and wiped his face; it was water.

It's raining.

The wind gradually howled, and suddenly dark clouds covered the sky. The weather on the mountain was unpredictable. The city had been experiencing high temperatures for a long time, but raindrops came suddenly up there.

It's quite cool.

Su Han stopped and looked around carefully, then glanced at the sky, clicked her tongue, and her expression became more serious.

"Bad luck, it looks like it's going to rain heavily."

……heavy rain?

Su Jinmu looked around.

There was no one there, no cable car, just a narrow, long mountain path.

It's raining heavily now, so it won't be very safe on the mountain.

Su Han was clearly experienced and didn't panic at all. She calmly looked around and saw a spot on the mountain to her right, about 100 meters away, where she could take shelter from the rain. She pointed it out.

"Go that way, Jinmu, make sure you stay close to me."

Su Jinmu nodded emphatically, "Okay."

The rain started suddenly. After putting on a raincoat, it was pouring down in the blink of an eye. The rain lashed my face, blurring my vision. The wind howled in my ears, making it hard to move.

Su Jinmu frowned, trying her best to stand firm.

In the sound of the wind, there seemed to be some disordered footsteps suddenly appearing behind me.

...Footsteps?

Su Jinmu turned around in surprise, but there was nothing behind her.

Su Han noticed his brief pause, steadied him, and called out in a raised voice, "What's wrong?!"

"I think I heard footsteps," Su Jinmu called out.

Su Han glanced at it and shook her head. "It's easy to mishear in this windy and rainy weather. Let's go!"

Su Jinmu nodded emphatically.

One hundred meters is a very short distance, but it was especially difficult to walk in the wind and rain.

Even more outrageous, halfway through the journey, a large number of white particles suddenly started falling in the rain.

Like small pebbles, they were whipped up by the wind and kept hitting me.

Hail?!

Su Jinmu: "..." The weather on the mountain is so unpredictable.

Su Jinmu walked forward. The wind was strong, and Su Han was still walking in front of her, facing the wind. She was light, and a gust of wind blew by, causing her to suddenly sway.

"Professor Su!" Su Jinmu hurriedly grabbed her and steadied her, but then stepped on a hailstone, slipped, and fell to his knees.

It doesn't hurt.

In places like this, a minor bump is fine, just don't roll down.

Su Jinmu quickly steadied herself.

"Jinmu!"

Su Han frowned and stared at Su Jinmu's pants.

It was light gray, turning darker after being wet by rain, but the spreading blood color was still clearly visible.

The water beneath my feet turned a reddish hue.

Su Jinmu tried it but didn't feel anything. "Let's go find shelter from the rain first."

The footsteps behind me drew closer, disordered, mixed with the sound of hail falling, seemingly real yet unreal.

Su Jinmu was slightly stunned. Before she could turn around, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her raincoat, wrapped around her waist familiarly, and pulled her forcefully.

Su Jinmu: "??!"

A slightly chilly feeling wafted over.

...Li Xin?

Wasn't he busy with the Li family's affairs?

Su Jinmu was taken aback.

This is not the time to talk. We hurried to the spot, which was a huge, concave rock, sheltered from the wind, and with a fairly spacious area.

After temporarily avoiding the storm, only a peaceful little world remains.

Su Jinmu breathed a sigh of relief, took off his raincoat hood, and sat firmly against the rock. Su Han on his right followed his movements, while on his left, Li Xin's face was terrifyingly grim as he clung tightly to him.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu: "...My raincoat is soaked through, don't get wet."

The boy wouldn't listen at all; he exuded a deep-seated hostility, and his dark eyes and brows were terrifying.

While he was outside, he received news that Su Jinmu and Su Han had gone up the mountain.

If Su Zeya wasn't the way the young master left, then would it be the Xu family, or Su Han?

Unable to guess correctly, he hurriedly followed, only to see the blood spreading from the bottom of his trousers as soon as he got close!

Li Xin's breathing quickened, his nerves were on edge. He reached out and wrapped his arm around the young master's waist, then snuggled close to the other's neck and bit him with his sharp teeth.

Su Jinmu: "..."

On the right, Su Han had just taken off the hood of her raincoat, but seeing this, she put it back on and casually looked to the other side.

The last glimpse through the hat's obscuring view was of Professor Su Han's mouth forming a "wow" sound.

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Su Jinmu's lips twitched. In the crook of her neck, the boy was still rubbing and nibbling, as if trying to mark her.

Su Jinmu was speechless and pressed his arm, trying to pull him away.

The moment his hand touched his skin, the distinct knuckles of his hand were cold and stiff, and his fingertips, pressed against his waist, seemed to tremble slightly.

Su Jinmu suddenly stopped.

……trembling?

"Li Xin?"

He lowered his voice and called out to the other person.

Li Xin didn't respond, but moved slightly, his head still resting on his shoulder. He turned to the side, wrapped his right arm around his waist, and reached out with his left hand to pull up Su Jinmu's trouser leg.

The pants were loose and could be easily pulled up, revealing slender, fair calves underneath.

My knee was scraped, and my side of my leg was cut by something, with blood trickling down and staining the white skin.

Li Xin's aura grew increasingly malevolent, terrifying, ferocious, and eerie.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu looked at him, took a few soft breaths, patted him, and said in a steady tone, "It was just a little accident."

It's just a minor superficial injury.

"I don't like surprises."

Li Xin glanced sideways, staring intently at him, his eyes dark and almost menacing.

"Young Master."

Li Xin moved closer to him, staring straight at him, and said in a low voice, "I don't like surprises."

"Especially the accident that happened to you."

"..." The boy's gaze was intense. Su Jinmu pursed her lips slightly, her fingertips curled up, and a strange surge of emotion welled up inside her.

It was cool and damp.

Like Li Xin, he climbed up his sensory nerves.

He didn't say anything.

Li Xin opened Su Jinmu's bag, took out some simple medicine and gauze, treated the wound, and carefully bandaged it.

Su Han turned her head away, unsure if the two had finished talking. She only turned back when she heard the bandaging sound. She was about to take over, but after observing them closely, she realized that they were not finished.

"You wrapped it very well, quite skillfully," she said casually as she examined it closely.

Su Jinmu's gaze lingered on Li Xin for a few seconds.

.

The rain stopped, and Su Jinmu didn't seem to feel any pain in his legs, but Li Xin practically half-carried him down.

Su Jinmu felt somewhat helpless.

After descending the mountain, the car drove directly to the Su family's residence. Li Xin, sitting next to Su Jinmu, got out of the car first.

He turned around and reached into the car, his strong arms easily tightening as he pulled the person into his embrace.

He lifted his leg and walked inside.

It wasn't raining down the mountain, and it was still very hot. This was the Xu family's car, which went directly to the Su family's gate. When Su's father saw Su Han, he immediately went up to chat with her with a smile.

Su Han originally wanted to go up and take another look, but her father stopped her and kept talking about this and that, so she pursed her lips.

"Jinmu came up the mountain with me and accidentally fell while trying to help me. Please take good care of her, President Su. I'll come back to check on her tomorrow."

Mr. Su's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh, don't worry, Xiao Mu is our family's most beloved youngest son. We will definitely take good care of him and make sure nothing happens to him."

Su Han gave him a cryptic look. At a time like this, he still mentioned that she was the most beloved. If she were truly the most beloved, he wouldn't be pulling her aside to talk; he would be going inside to check on her.

Su Han looked past her father and into the room.

Su Jinmu was carried by Li Xin and quickly went up to the third floor, almost effortlessly and steadily.

The hand straps were very tight.

Once inside the room, Li Xin placed the person in his arms on the sofa, his gaze deep and intense. He reached out and removed Su Jinmu's outer trousers, staring intently at the injuries on his knees and calves.

Beneath the gauze wrapping, faint streaks of clear blood red were visible.

Su Jinmu sat on the sofa, her two slender and straight legs exposed. The boy knelt in front of her, his pupils dark and intense, staring at the wound.

In a low, gentle voice, he said, "Young Master can't step on me anymore."

Su Jinmu: "..."

No, he has another leg, and besides, this injury won't heal for long.

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue. Seeing his expression, she raised her uninjured leg, intending to kick him a couple of times.

As a result, the boy grabbed the back of her knee, roughly restraining her, and she couldn't move.

The boy leaned down, close to his knees.

At the edge of the wound, her scarlet lips touched it and gently licked it.

"hiss……"

The wound didn't hurt on the mountain, but it started to ache faintly after I got into the car on the way down.

The wound is very sensitive right now, with all the surrounding nerves active and tense.

The damp, slightly cool touch made Su Jinmu feel a throbbing sensation in the nerves near her knee, a slight burning sensation.

“Li Xin”.

He called out to the other person.

The boy didn't respond, but gently licked the area around the wound again.

Su Jinmu: "..."

hiss.

Su Jinmu raised her hand, lifted Li Xin's face, and spoke slowly, her eyes lowered, her gaze shimmering, "How did you know I went up the mountain?"

Li Xin remained silent, staring intently at him. Su Jinmu clicked his tongue, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Didn't you say you'd learned your lesson?"

Li Xin looked at him, his eyebrows and eyes were dark, and his scarlet lips suddenly curved into a strange smile. He rubbed his palm and spoke in a low voice.

Like some kind of evil spirit, gorgeous yet terrifying, devouring the soul.

"I've learned my lesson. Will the young master stay with me forever?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

The boy had a smile on his face, but his appearance was almost sinister and cold, dark and gloomy. His lips curled up, his smile was crazy, and his gaze seemed to be glued to him.

"..." Su Jinmu pursed her lips slightly, her fingertips twitched slightly, and her heart softened.

She gently touched the corner of his lips with her fingertip.

He spoke slowly, "...Maybe?"

They'll be together as long as they're alive, but once Su Jinmu dies... naturally they won't be able to be together anymore.

He shouldn't be lying when he says that, right?

Su Jinmu lowered her eyes, her face like piled-up snow-white jade, her eyebrows and eyes clear and sparkling, as if there were ripples in them.

...?!

Li Xin paused for a few seconds, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

Then, realizing what he had just said, he didn't ask again or confirm anything, and he didn't give the young master another chance to change his mind.

He quickly stepped forward, pressed his lips against the young master's, and took a real bite.

Su Jinmu: "...Tsk."

Li Xin's eyes were dark and viscous, as deep as an abyss, like a wild beast that wouldn't let go of its prey, with a faint excitement, his nerves roaring, gripping his knees tightly.

"It's settled."

Li Xin stared straight at him, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Young Master, you can't lie to me."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's temples twitched twice, and she nodded.

Li Xin's lips curved into a wide smile, his eyes darkened, and his voice was slow.

“…Young Master, you mustn’t lie.”

"If you're lying to me, if you're lying to me..."

He paused, lowered his head, lightly touched the young master's rosy lips, gave them a strange, wet lick, and chuckled softly.

He is mute and perverted.

Like a madman.

They didn't say anything more.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu wasn't curious about what he hadn't finished saying; she just felt that what he said wouldn't be so simple.

He was soaked in the rain, and Li Xin was rubbing against him. He raised his hand and pushed Li Xin's face away, his voice calm.

"Alright, carry me to take a bath."

Su Jinmu's injuries are to her knee and calf, so she definitely can't take a shower.

Li Xin applied a waterproof patch to Su Jinmu's wound.

Although it's advertised as a waterproof sticker, it will still fall off if you soak it in a bathtub.

Li Xin picked the person up and carried them into the bathroom.

The bathtub was already filled with warm water, and a rather tall stool was placed inside.

Su Jinmu glanced back and saw Li Xin supporting him, his breathing slightly labored. He placed the young master on the bed and then withdrew his hand, but did not leave it.

Instead, it flows down the leg to the back of the knee, then gently lifts up, the sound low and slow.

"This leg must not get wet."

Su Jinmu: "..."

The boy held his knees and slowly placed them on the edge of the bathtub, saying, "Put them here."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Su Jinmu was about to burst out laughing at this weird thing.

She's so cunning.

He clicked his tongue, seemingly unconcerned, and braced his arm on the edge of the bathtub, watching Li Xin's movements with nonchalant indifference.

The boy stood unhurriedly by the bathtub, blocking the light and casting a dark shadow over Su Jinmu.

She flicked water with her fingertips and gently sprinkled it onto the nape of his neck.

The young master had fair skin, a refined and elegant appearance, and a delicate, exquisite neck that held a pool of water that rippled slightly with each breath.

It kept shaking.

Li Xin's eyes darkened, his breathing tightened slightly, and he rubbed the shower gel foam in his palm before slowly pressing it against that small patch of his neck.

Foam clings to his skin, which is warm, supple, and smooth. Li Xin rubs it onto his neck, clearly feeling the strong pulse of the veins beneath.

It pulsates, brimming with unparalleled vitality.

Li Xin's lips curled up, and his Adam's apple bobbed deeply.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled slightly, grabbed the boy's wrist, and slowly pulled him closer.

Li Xin stood behind him, obediently leaning down and reaching over the young master's shoulder, turning to meet a pair of beautiful eyes.

There were scattered smiles inside, and Lang Yan was exceptionally handsome.

"Have you touched enough?"

Li Xin's Adam's apple bobbed. His wrist was being pulled, and he was leaning over. He could smell the young master's light, sweet fragrance, which was even more alluring.

He paused for a few seconds, smiled, and shook his head honestly.

Su Jinmu smiled, her eyes sparkling and beautiful, her whole being like a jade sculpture, shimmering with a soft and lustrous glow in clear, warm water.

With a firm touch, the boy's hard, bony hand pressed against his waist, saying casually, "Keep applying the shower gel."

"Get in the bathtub and apply it."

Li Xin felt a surge of excitement, as if he were being baked by a high temperature. His lips curled up, and his whole body felt burning hot.
