Chapter 267
Xue Shun was equally lazy. He didn't want to do work that he could avoid, but if he didn't work, he couldn't help but have random thoughts. The more he thought, the more uncomfortable he felt. So, apart from sleeping, he almost never let himself be idle and always had to find something to do.
It’s so nice to be able to fall asleep as soon as you lie down when you’re tired.
Shen Jiao didn't show it on her face, but with Xue Shun around, she could really take a break.
But Shen Jiao still doesn't like this.
If Xue Shun was not busy, they would be together all day long, and would never leave each other except to take a shower or go to the toilet.
One or two days is fine, but who can stand it for more than that?
Shen Jiao couldn't find out anything she wanted to know, and soon she was at a loss for words.
She fell silent, and Xue Shun didn't say much either. The atmosphere was broken by a letter.
Xue Shun glanced at it and handed it to her: "Take a look."
"What's this?" Shen Jiao took it, confused. Several familiar names came into view. "Young Master sent people to Putao Town? How did you know this?"
Shen Jiao never revealed where he was hiding.
"Taopu, isn't it just rambutan? But I didn't see that from what you wrote. It was that Ah Zhu who told me. He really wanted to live, so he sold you out and told me everything."
Xue Shun said with a half-smile,
"Shen Jiao, your vision is really bad."
He's not done yet, is he? It's been months, and he still hasn't forgotten to stir up trouble.
Shen Jiao said, "It's as expected. Thank you, sir."
This letter records the current situation of Boss Shen and his colleagues.
They lived well, and Lady Wang's daughter had grown up quite a bit. Xue Shun's men had bought Zhenzhu, and they had made a small fortune. When they asked about her and Ah Zhu, they were polite.
There is no way Tian Bajiao can go back. Boss Shen has hired a new employee and there is no need for her to go back.
I heard that the guy is not very smart, but he is a warm-hearted person. He is a relative of Lady Wang and knows her well.
Anyway, these are things that no longer have anything to do with Shen Jiao.
Xue Shun said, "No need to thank me. Just think of me as meddling in your affairs. You might not care. I've had someone get your things back."
It's just some clothes and bedding, no sharp jewelry or dangerous things can be given to her.
Xue Shun dressed Shen Jiao up like a beautiful donkey, and there were many clothes in the wardrobe, so she had no shortage of these things, but Shen Jiao still left them behind.
This at least proves that it was not a dream.
She had indeed escaped.
Xue Shun grabbed the sachet she had used and sniffed it gently: "Are you using this to hide your body odor?"
"yes."
"It doesn't smell good." Xue Shun said with some disgust.
"They are all cheap fragrances, so they are inevitably pungent." Shen Jiao no longer uses them, but she still likes them very much. A pile of sachets smells messy, just like her life.
Shen Jiao reached out to take it, and Xue Shun stuffed her used sachet into his arms right in front of her.
It smells bad, but you still want to grab it?
Shen Jiao didn't understand him. He kept saying he didn't like it, so why was he holding the thing?
Xue Shun said, "This trick is quite interesting. I'll take a look at it."
"That's just an ordinary peony." Shen Jiao said.
Xue Shun said: "Not at all."
For something that costs only a few cents, it is already very good to be embroidered like this. Each piece is carefully selected by Shen Jiao.
He looked down upon it and yet it was so easy to hold.
Shen Jiao was too lazy to argue with him and quietly put everything else away.
Along with the letter, Xue Shun's people also mentioned Mr. Zhou Er in the letter.
He seemed to have noticed something was wrong and asked Xue Shun if he wanted to investigate further.
Shen Jiao was not sure how Xue Shun replied to the letter. He did not allow Shen Jiao to touch anything on his desk.
Apart from grinding ink and serving tea, Shen Jiao has no other relationship with that table.
Of course she was unwilling to accept this. There was so much information right in front of her, but she couldn't even look at it. Shen Jiao must have been unhappy, but there was no other good solution.
On the sixtieth day of pretending, Shen Jiao gently touched Xue Shun's feet at night, and she curled up her toes because of the cold.
She stuck to him persistently.
Xue Shun: "What do you want to do?"
"I accidentally touched it," Shen Jiao said, "Your feet are really cold."
"Don't come close, the cold won't get to you."
Xue Shun pushed her back without understanding the situation. Shen Jiao kept looking for her for a long time: ...
That's all.
He pressed the quilt tightly, which was so hateful. What was he trying to protect himself from?
Xue Shun, a man who takes it as his responsibility to protect his body.
Shen Jiao couldn't figure out what he was guarding!
She turned over, then turned back, closed her eyes, and sat up straight, grabbing his quilt with all her strength. Quickly, accurately, and fiercely, she pulled it away and threw it under the bed. She took her own quilt and went over to him. She also pulled Xue Shun's arm and patted it flat, then lay down with peace of mind.
Xue Shun: ...
He leaned against Shen Jiao's head and said, "Are you trying to say that you were sleepwalking?"
How could Shen Jiao answer him? She was busy sleepwalking.
Shen Jiao grabbed Xue Shun with his hands and feet and pushed him hard.
Xue Shun was so embarrassed that he said, "Shen Jiao, I'll count to three, and then you can go back."
"one."
"two."
"Oh."
Xue Shun was so angry that he laughed. He sat up, wrapped her in a quilt, and tied her up with chains.
Shen Jiao defended herself in the candlelight: "Perhaps I really have a sleepwalking problem."
Xue Shun nodded: "It's okay, you can dream whatever you want. At worst, I can tie you up once a day."
Shen Jiao: "I heard that sleepwalkers cannot be awakened by force, or they will go crazy."
"Don't be afraid, you've never been normal before." Xue Shun smoothed Shen Jiao's messy hair, which was all tangled. "Why can't you just calm down?"
Shen Jiao was not happy about his words: "Sir, what you said is unreasonable. I have been serving you wholeheartedly these days. It was not my intention to get sick.
I think I was so worried because you were cold that I even thought about you in my dreams, which is why I offended you."
"Should I thank you, then?"
"This servant does not deserve your thanks."
Shen Jiao said aggrievedly.
Xue Shun: ...
I wanted to hang her on the beam, let the draft blow through, and empty the water in her head.
It turns out that it’s not that crazy…
Who did you learn this from?
Xue Shun thought of Ah Zhu who kept calling him sister, and said with a cold expression: "Forget it, go to sleep."
Shen Jiao: ...Isn't that a soft heart? Is his heart made of stone?
"Slave girl, are you going to sleep like this?" Shen Jiao moved her body, which was unable to stretch out. "It's uncomfortable."
Xue Shun patted her and said, "It's okay. The binding is loose. I will remember to turn you over. Do you need to get up now? I can carry you over."
He seemed to be taking care of an old man paralyzed in bed.
Never mind why this 'old man' was paralyzed.
Shen Jiao smiled stiffly and said, "Don't bother me, sir. I don't have that idea."
