Chapter 85
Why is she... like this?
Xue Shun's mind was still in a mess, so he was pushed away by Shen Jiao.
She acted as if nothing had happened, sat on the couch with the medicine in her hand, turned her head and looked at him, saying, "Master, it's time to apply the medicine."
"You, me," Xue Shun said incoherently, "What kind of medicine do we need?"
"So, bed?"
Shen Jiao's eyes were bright black, and she spoke such vicious words with a gentle and innocent look on her face.
Xue Shun: ...
"you……"
He really shed tears this time.
"Shen Jiao! What do you take me for? A prostitute in a brothel you can play with at will? Someone you can summon and dismiss at will? Am I really that lowly in your heart?"
He spoke his accusations in a low voice, afraid of being heard, but what about her?
Xue Shun looked at her without blinking, not knowing what he was expecting or whether he wanted to hear her say something unpleasant to her and tell her to give up completely.
My mind is a mess.
A feeling of powerlessness emerged from his bones, making it uncomfortable for him to stand, and he wished he could just curl up.
But I also felt embarrassed, so I straightened my back and stood up straight.
Shen Jiao: I’m angry.
She stood up and walked towards Xue Shun step by step, almost sticking to him.
Xue Shun couldn't help but take a step back.
Shen Jiao then spoke:
"Sir, your words are so unreasonable. I thought we were both willing and in love, so I boldly proposed to you. How come it sounds so unbearable in your mouth?"
Xue Shun: ...
He felt that he might be really cheap and so easy to fool. He was so sad and weak, but was coaxed into good health by these words.
He hadn't lost his mind yet, and said calmly, "Don't try to bluff me. I can tell the difference between true and false feelings. You're just trying to have fun and torment me. There's no such thing as love or affection."
What he said was a little difficult, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
My eyes are already blurred with tears and I can’t see clearly.
He turned his head and wiped it roughly with his hand. The tears stuck to the wound and it stung a little.
There was blood on his face, and he looked very embarrassed. Shen Jiao raised her hand to wipe it, but he turned his head away, trying to avoid it.
Shen Jiao grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her. He stopped hiding and let Shen Jiao's fingers fall on his face. She rubbed it hard twice, then pressed him on the couch, wrung out a wet towel, and pressed it on his face.
"Wipe it off! It's not good for others to see it. Why do you always make yourself so embarrassed?"
"I'm useless, you can laugh if you want, I've already said everything, there's no need to save face for me."
He didn't want Shen Jiao to do it for him, so he wiped it a few times himself, lowered his head and wiped the blood off his hands vigorously, without any light or heavy hands. The bleeding that was about to stop started to flow again.
But he seemed not to feel it and pushed harder.
The glaring blood made Shen Jiao feel very uncomfortable. She simply squatted in front of him and grabbed him to stop him from doing anything else.
"Don't do this, it's not worth it, it hurts so much."
Shen Jiao's tone was different from usual, and she seemed really anxious.
Xue Shun couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood, and said harsh words stubbornly: "What's the big deal? I won't die anyway, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if my skin and flesh are torn apart, if you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?"
Why would you use your own body to get angry with others?
How stupid of you to be.
Shen Jiao was afraid of him.
"Sir, you just said you'd be more careful in the future, and promised me that I'd take good care of myself, but now you're breaking your promise in the blink of an eye. What's that? Are you a scoundrel?"
Xue Shun: "Don't interrupt me. You know what I want to say..."
"I don't know," Shen Jiao picked up the medicine and poured it into his hand. "I'm not a worm in your stomach, how can I know everything? You just asked me if I had anything to say, why don't you say it yourself?"
"What else do you want me to say?"
Xue Shun felt so wronged. His feelings were almost written on his face, and he showed it to her every day. What else could he say?
"Just tell me straight, how else can I answer?" Shen Jiao said lightly, "Guessing is never right, and if I'm wrong, the young master will be so upset. It's better to be frank. If the young master doesn't want to have sex, then does that mean he's attracted to me?"
Xue Shun's hands and body were getting hot.
It's not a burning feeling, but a shameful feeling.
"You know, so why are you asking?" Xue Shun said desperately, "I do like you. I've thought so for a long time. I liked you the first time I saw you, but when I saw you, I felt that the old man was just perfunctory and didn't want you. He said some unpleasant things on purpose, but you never got angry. I thought he had told you something, so you were sincerely devoted to me. Who knew you had never met him? I knew you might really be good, and later you were always so good to me. I'm not made of stone, how could I not be moved? With this in mind, I deliberately wanted to get close to you, and sometimes I would rely on you even if it didn't make me feel uncomfortable... Now you know everything, what do you say?"
He is shaking.
Shen Jiao held his hand and said, "What can I say? Didn't I tell you long ago, Master? I will always be by your side."
"You're not trying to scare me?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Shen Jiao, if you dare to lie to me, I will..."
Xue Shun couldn't bring himself to curse her, so he could only say viciously,
"I'll die in front of you!"
Shen Jiao doesn't care.
But this did not stop her from coaxing Xue Shun by saying, "The gods of heaven and earth are my witnesses, and this is absolutely true."
Xue Shun was easy to coax, and since she said so, how could he not believe it?
"My hand hurts."
His expression softened and he became pretentious again.
This person really can't hide anything in his heart. There is only this one thing in total. Now that it's all out, he feels relieved.
There was joy in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Shen Jiao did as she said and made finger guards and arm guards for him.
Xue Shun was even happier.
The only bad luck is that Xue Lang is like a wronged ghost, always haunting around. He is still locked up in the ancestral hall and is not doing his job. When people heard that he was practicing martial arts, they sent him some secret manuals of martial arts.
Xue Shun has no grudge against Dongxi.
Masters Shen Jiao, Wei Qian and Feng had all looked at it, and none of them could find anything wrong, so he accepted it with confidence. He also picked out two that interested him and prepared to practice them.
It's a pity that he really has no talent and no matter how much he practices, he can't perform well.
My archery skills have improved and I can barely hit the target.
During the spring hunt in March of the following year, Xue Wuliang and Luo Wendi remembered him and decided to take him with them.
Nanny Zhang also sent over a few sets of light riding clothes.
Shen Jiao also received the news at this time. Old Man Li told Qiongzhi: "Nine lives are back."
This is good news.
Now that he's back, he can decide whether to take action or not.
What a good day.
Shen Jiao talked about this with Xue Shun with a smile.
He didn't remember for a moment: "Nine lives? Ah, it's that killer, he's back..."
Xue Shun looked outside and did not see Wei Qian or Tianlongdimu.
Shen Jiao reminded him, "Didn't the young master say he would give him a piece of land? He went to see Doctor Sun at the pharmacy and wanted to grow some medicinal herbs."
Wei Qian was a timid man, and this was the first time he had gone out since he had retreated to Liao'e Courtyard.
Maybe it’s because spring has arrived, the weather is nice, and people can’t stay still…
Xue Shun hesitated and said, "Shen Jiao, otherwise... forget it. I don't think... he's a wicked person, he's just greedy... I'll figure out a way to deal with the money later. Let's just leave him alone and drive him away."
Shen Jiao knew that Xue Shun was soft-hearted and useless.
"But... even if we don't take action, there's no guarantee that others won't be tempted. Jiu Tiaoming went to Jiangnan Road to investigate the news, so there's no guarantee that he won't bring back traces. If the reward is still valid, he'll be dead sooner or later."
"At least... don't die in our hands."
Xue Shun still couldn't bear to do it.
Perhaps it was because Wei Qian had treated him very well, or perhaps it was because he had become accustomed to having these three people in the hospital.
In short, he couldn't make up his mind.
Shen Jiao didn't make things difficult for him: "Young Master is kind-hearted, so why not just do as you say and drive him out? I'll go talk to Jiu Tiao Ming and that'll be it."
"Is there any danger?"
"Don't worry, sir. He won't hurt me. After all, we are from the same school."
