Chapter 27
"what's on your mind?"
On the way back from school, Xue Shun suddenly asked.
Shen Jiao couldn't say that she disliked her master, so she said seriously, "I didn't think anything."
"Liar." Xue Shun glanced at her sideways, looking extremely dissatisfied with the answer.
His legs ached, but he held onto the wall to steady himself, not forgetting to glare at her again. Shen Jiao had grown accustomed to his capricious ways and knew he wouldn't do anything. She didn't even want to pretend to be scared, and asked, as usual, "Master, do you want a sedan chair?"
"No." Xue Shun flatly refused, his eyes still fixed on her face, trying to see some of the loyal servant's worry and heartache for his master, the kind that was genuine, instead of pretending like usual with slightly frowning brows, lowering eyes, pursing lips.
He looked for a long time, and only saw Shen Jiao inadvertently turn his head and glance ahead twice, as if he couldn't wait to leave.
If her true feelings were revealed, she would have been impatient by now, but she was willing to kill for him and didn't care about the consequences... Xue Shun said expressionlessly, "My legs hurt."
Shen Jiao didn't know what he meant.
"Should I go and ask Doctor Sun?"
"don't want."
"Then let me help you rub it?"
"don't want."
He doesn't want this or that, what does he want?
The worry on Shen Jiao's face faded into confusion. She raised her head to assess Xue Shun's expression and asked, "What can this servant do?"
"No." Xue Shun felt a surge of anger when he saw her indifferent look. He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. He hammered the wall in anger and cursed in his heart: Damn liar.
Then he took a step forward and limped ahead, as fast as if he was running for his life.
Shen Jiao didn't understand what was going on and followed behind quietly.
Xue Shun wanted to shake her off, but couldn't help but look back to see if she was there.
Do your homework in anger.
Shen Jiao said, "Sir, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Xue Shun said angrily, "No need."
Shen Jiao: "So we have to withdraw?"
"Let's retreat." I'm starving!
"Yes." Whatever you want.
Shen Jiao and the maids cleared away the dinner and took the time to feed themselves before returning to ask him, "Master, do you want me to copy some books?"
"No!" Xue Shun became even angrier.
He has to ask about something he does every day. It means he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't care.
Shen Jiao: ...That’s fine too.
"Then I will go and feed Xuan Xiao and the others?"
"Need not!"
He could feed it himself. Xue Shun stood up with the help of the table, moved towards the bedroom, squatted in front of the rat cage, and casually pointed to a little maid to get food.
Shen Jiao followed him in confusion, watching Xuan Youfu, who was trying to crawl towards her with a limp leg, being caught by Xue Shun and stuffed back into the cage.
These mice have grown a lot bigger. Each one is fat and smooth, with a pointed mouth and a long tail. They look ugly and hateful, and have none of the cute round mice in the warehouse.
He has a fierce temper and is always showing his teeth.
Although it has never actually bitten anyone, it is still disliked.
He bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he sees Yinhua and Qiongzhi, who are eager to kill him, he curls up into a ball and trembles.
Xue Shun loved them as always. He had a row of large iron cages made for him and placed them under the windows in the house. He didn't mind the annoying sound of them grinding their teeth at night and let them out for a walk whenever he had free time.
He loved his mice very much, but he looked down on those cute hamsters. He was afraid that his mice would suffer the pain of childbirth like those hamsters, giving birth to endless litters, so he added partitions in the cage.
Xuan Xiao's family was very ungrateful about this, especially the siblings Youlu and Youxi, who always gathered together whenever they went out.
Xue Shun tried to teach them to be good rats with a sense of shame and understanding of human ethics, but failed.
With a snap of the scissors, Youlu was castrated.
The relationship between the man and the mouse is a little tense now, but Youxi, who is pregnant, doesn't seem to care.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that after Xuan Youlu got angry, Shen Jiao was the one who fed this nest of mice.
Now she is not allowed to touch it.
Shen Jiao also saw that he was angry with her, but why? She didn't provoke him?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yinhua came to replace her and Shen Jiao was about to leave.
Xue Shun, who had been silent, spoke again at this time: "Come back."
Shen Jiao: ...
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"You're on night duty."
Shen Jiao: ...I'm pretty angry.
It's worth it. When Xue Shun was not sick, the night was quite quiet. Shen Jiao spread the quilt and dozed off while sitting on the ground.
I also forgot that he didn't eat.
When I heard the faint moans at night, I remembered that this was a pampered ancestor.
"Young Master." Shen Jiao lit a candle, lifted the curtain and took a look. Sure enough, he was sick again.
"Should I go and ask Doctor Sun?"
"don't want."
"Then I'll go get you a bowl of porridge. Perhaps you'll feel better if you eat a little."
Hunger disease can be cured with hunger medicine. Shen Jiao thought it made sense and would definitely be effective.
"I don't want to eat." Xue Shun became stubborn again.
"What should we do then?"
"That's it...it'll be fine in a moment."
Soon you will be too hungry, or maybe you will become even sicker.
Shen Jiao didn't mind, but his occasional humming was a bit annoying...
Never mind. Whatever.
"Then I will stay here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Yeah." He didn't say anything. What's the point of coming?
Xue Shun endured the pain for a while, then turned his back to her and asked, "Are you really willing to kill for me?"
"Yes." She couldn't refuse.
"That's good."
"Young Master, are you planning to kill Mr. Song again?"
"No."
"Who is that?"
This bastard won’t ask me to commit suicide, right?
Shen Jiao was a little worried.
"Hmm..." Xue Shun groaned as he pressed his fist against his stomach and said weakly, "No one, go to sleep."
"Yes." Shen Jiao walked to the footstool.
"Go back to the house and sleep."
"And you?"
"I'm fine. There are still people outside."
"yes."
"Get up early tomorrow and accompany me..."
"yes."
Xue Shun didn't finish his words, but Shen Jiao understood. She folded the quilt on the floor and put it away, then went out.
He nodded at Qiongzhi in the corridor, then went back to his room to sleep. Lying on the bed, he felt a little confused for a while.
She understood what Xue Shun meant, but she really couldn't figure out what that sentence meant.
Are you really willing to kill for him?
What kind of problem is this?
What a weirdo.
Shen Jiao turned over and fell into a peaceful sleep.
The next day the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain. Xue Shun's face was as pale as the weather. He rubbed his stomach from time to time, but ate a bowl of rice and said nothing about the pain he had suffered last night.
He also reminded Shen Jiao: "Don't forget your rain gear."
"I brought them all."
Shen Jiao prepared wooden clogs and oil-paper umbrellas early in the morning. He couldn't wait for his master to remind him about such things.
Xue Shun nodded and said to Qiongzhi who followed him, "You don't have to go. Feed Xuan Xiao and the others. Shen Jiao will just follow me."
"Yes." Qiongzhi responded and looked at Shen Jiao with a little worry.
She always felt that Xue Shun had a bad temper, so it was inevitable that she was worried.
Not only her, everyone in the hospital felt that Xue Shun had a bad temper.
He usually didn't care, but for some reason today, he said something out of the blue on the street: "I'm actually quite easy to talk to..."
"Ah?" Shen Jiao looked at him in confusion.
