Chapter 48 Did you hear that? Damn, I really want to try it.
(Forty-eight)
Shen Changyi, whose courtesy name is Shuhe.
This was the name Li Hanye gave to Shen Changyi on his coming-of-age day, with the idea of seeking harmony in differences and preserving similarities in differences.
He liked this name very much and always hoped that Li Shanglu would call him by this name occasionally.
But Li Shanglu never shouted, and even scolded Li Hanye for it.
"He's not your son, so why did you give him a name like that?"
But when it was Shen's mother's turn to choose a name for Li Shanglu, Shanglu happily accepted it. She didn't dislike the Shen family, she simply disliked Shen Changyi. Her likes and dislikes were clear-cut.
Yan Ning is the name of the Chinese yam, because this medicinal herb is highly toxic. My mother thought that although Chinese yam is highly toxic, it must be used to treat diseases as a medicinal herb. She hoped that Chinese yam could be like this medicinal herb, which can cure diseases and bring peace of mind.
The words carry the good wishes of both parents for them, but the people who would have called them like that back then are all gone now.
Shen Changyi looked at the blood on the tip of his nose and exchanged glances with Li Shanglu.
With a puff.
Li Shanglu couldn't help laughing, so he pulled a handkerchief from the shelf next to him and threw it in his face.
The handkerchief was also stained with the fragrance of orchids. Shen Changyi pinched it for a long time and was reluctant to use it. His face was red as blood.
"Hurry up and come over to rub my back." Her voice was gentle, completely different from the Shang Lu who ignored him during the day, as if she had become a different person.
Shen Changyi's nose felt even hotter. He quickly wiped the blood clean, carefully holding the bath bean and gently placing it on the thin white shoulder.
So slippery...
My brain doesn't seem to be thinking properly.
Shen Changyi stared at her smooth, delicate neck, his blood boiling. Every part of Shang Lu's body was beautiful, like a natural, snow-white jade sculpture. He didn't dare to use force, only touching her carefully, gently stroking her body with the bath bean.
"Shuhe, use more force."
With a splash, his eyes slightly opened, his wrist shook and he lost his grip, and the bath bean fell into the water.
The surface of the water was covered with a few small bubbles, spreading out in circles of ripples.
Li Shanglu rested his chin on his hand and looked at him, with no intention of picking up the bath beans from the water.
Chen Changyi hesitated for a while and whispered, "Shanglu, pick it up."
He didn't dare put his hand in.
"Can't you even do such a small thing?" Li Shanglu crossed his legs on the edge of the tub and stared at him lazily, "Get it yourself."
Seeing her move, Shen Changyi quickly put his hand to the tip of his nose, and the only thing left in front of him was Li Shanglu's body, which he could not show off anymore.
My head... feels so dizzy.
He bit his lower lip, but still tentatively reached out his hand and reached into the bathtub.
When he accidentally touched her soft body, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble.
It feels so uncomfortable.
He didn't know where the bath bean had fallen to. He bravely searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it.
Come out quickly...
Li Shanglu looked at his tangled and frustrated expression and sneered in his heart.
Quite tolerant.
"Can't find it?" She suddenly grabbed the hand underwater and smiled faintly, "You're so stupid! I'll help you find it."
Shen Changyi forgot to breathe for a moment and let her hold his hand and apply it to his softness.
It felt like a string in my head broke.
He leaned down and kissed the lips he had coveted for so long, completely letting go of his restraint and wantonly increasing the strength of his hands.
However, he was bitten hard on the lip. Shen Changyi stopped moving in pain and looked at Li Shanglu blankly and innocently.
"Who allowed you to touch me?" she accuses righteously. "I only asked you to find something. Did you find it?"
Shen Changyi looked at her in astonishment.
Just now... clearly... he thought...
"Get out, I can wash it myself, I don't need you." Li Shanglu said coldly and shook off his hand.
Fairyland and purgatory are only a thought away in Shanglu.
Chen Changyi slowly clenched his fingers, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was still refusing to leave, Li Shanglu laughed at him, "What are you doing? Are you still trying to force yourself on me?"
Shen Changyi didn't say anything, his eyes misted with a layer of moisture, and the depression accumulated from being ignored all day surged into his heart.
"……"here we go again.
He never gets tired of pretending to be aggrieved.
Li Shanglu turned around, leaned over the edge of the tub, and said in a gentle, persuasive tone, "If you're willing to tell me who you came up the mountain to exorcise the demon for, I'll pretend nothing happened yesterday, how about that?"
Hearing this, Shen Changyi looked up at her and clenched his fingers.
"Can't."
He can be incredibly stubborn sometimes.
Li Shanglu was furious. He had tried every trick he could think of, but this idiot was still able to persist!
"Why!"
She thought of various reasons all day, but she couldn't guess who could make Shen Changyi stick to his bottom line so firmly.
Who on earth is so capable?
Chen Changyi seemed to calm down the moment she asked that question. He lowered his eyes, all his romantic thoughts gone. He begged in a low voice, as humbly as possible, "Just this one thing, can you please stop asking?"
Li Shanglu gritted his teeth and glared at him for a long time, then turned around angrily and continued bathing.
Screw Shen Changyi, get out of here!
She can tell it or not, she doesn’t want to know now, and she won’t have the chance to tell it in the future!
Shen Changyi retreated to the corner and sat on his own bedding, staring at her after washing and putting on clothes like a child who had done something wrong.
Li Shanglu walked straight past him, returned to the couch and got into bed. If she was unhappy, Shen Changyi would have no chance of an easy life either.
"Shanglu, your hair isn't dry yet."
Why is this idiot still haunting us?
Li Shanglu pretended not to hear his voice.
"Dry yourself before going to sleep." Shen Changyi pursed his lips, picked up the handkerchief, walked to the bed and pulled her out of the quilt.
Li Shanglu took a deep breath and was at a loss for words to scold him.
He wiped her hair gently and whispered, "Your hair has grown a lot longer."
Her hair was as thick as silk, without a trace of frizz, soft and fine.
"Shanglu," Shen Changyi slowly brushed her long hair and pleaded softly, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I swore an oath and had to do so. Besides, that incident happened a long time ago. If I bring it up again, it would be like opening a wound and there would be no benefit. Just this once, Shanglu, can you let me keep this secret?"
His voice was very soft and his movements of wiping his hair were very skillful and comfortable. Li Shanglu felt inexplicably sleepy.
"Phytolacca?"
Resting her forehead lightly on Shen Changyi's shoulder, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Is revealing your scars or mine? You can always tell me, right?"
He looked at her solemnly, reached out and pressed her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"Yours and mine."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu closed his eyes and said, "Forget it then."
If it was such a secret, she didn't want to know, and there was no need to know.
Her life is good now. She doesn't like change, and she doesn't want to change again.
Hearing her answer, Shen Changyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped her dry her hair more carefully.
"Dual cultivation?"
His body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms.
Li Shanglu raised his eyes and poked his collarbone with his fingertips. "Don't want to?"
Shen Changyi swallowed his saliva, his heartbeat quickened, "I want to..."
"Go get that book."
Shen Changyi got out of bed without hesitation, took out the secret method of dual cultivation, and showed it to her earnestly.
Li Shanglu flipped through two pages and muttered, "Which one do you want to practice..."
He can actually choose for himself.
Shen Changyi's breathing quickened. He held the book in his hands, reading it again and again. His eyes fell on one of the pictures, and his whole body tensed up.
"Phytolacca...wash it again."
"?"
His face flushed, and he whispered, "I want to take a shower with you, is that okay?"
Idiot, why are you asking such a question? Can't you have some opinion of your own?
Li Shanglu pinched his forehead and lowered his voice, "What about my freshly dried hair?"
"I'll wipe it again." Shen Changyi tentatively took off her clothes and held her in his arms.
Li Shanglu did not stop him and cooperated so well that Shen Changyi felt a little touched.
He put her into the bathtub, and he finally found the bath bean. It turned out that it had been in the corner, but he couldn't find it just now... Could it be hidden by Shang Lu?
Chen Changyi held the bath bean and glanced at Li Shanglu out of the corner of his eye, but the other party looked away as if nothing had happened.
...It was hidden indeed.
His eyes dimmed slightly, and he held her face and kissed her.
Li Shanglu paused for a moment, then responded to him somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Changyi froze for a moment, then held her neck and deepened the kiss. Their tongues intertwined, and the two hearts that were on the verge of being close yet distant finally pressed tightly together.
From Fangcao City to Jiuliu Mountain, and from Jiuliu Mountain to Mingzhou Sect, the scene that the five-year-old Shen Changyi dared not even dream of has come true at this moment.
For a long time, the two stared at each other, breathing softly.
The water ripples are soft and beautiful, and the ripples blur the candlelight.
Li Shanglu felt dizzy from the blow to his head, and he could vaguely hear him whisper something in his ear, but it was unclear and inaudible.
I was bitten unexpectedly on the back of my neck, and this time I heard it clearly.
"Shanglu, do you like it?"
Her body seemed to melt into the warm water and she had no time to think.
"Do you like... me?"
What nonsense...
Can you be faster?
Not getting an answer, the other party seemed a little dissatisfied and suddenly increased his strength.
Li Shanglu subconsciously covered her lips, but the sound still leaked out from between her fingers. Her ears turned red with embarrassment. She wanted to scold him, but soon she was speechless.
“I like pokeweed.”
He repeated over and over again,
"I like Phytolacca the most. I like Phytolacca the most in the whole world."
"Did Shanglu hear that?"
Li Shanglu gritted her teeth and asked why he had to repeat it so many times. She was not deaf.
"Didn't you hear?"
She opened her eyes slightly and her whole body began to tremble.
"I……"
Unable to utter a word, Li Shanglu's tears fell uncontrollably, his voice trembling, "Chen Changyi..."
Let her speak!
After a long time, the water in the bathtub gradually became cold.
Li Shanglu was exhausted and clung to the edge of the tub, unable to stand up on her own. The bath soap had rubbed her all over, making her wet and slippery, and she could hardly even hold on to the tub.
"Come sit here, Phoenix."
Hearing his words, Li Shanglu turned back in disbelief. This bastard is not done yet?
Shen Changyi's interest showed no sign of diminishing. He stared at her and coaxed her softly, "Come on."
The night is still long.
"No, Shen Changyi! That's enough." Li Shanglu pushed away his offered hand, making up an excuse. "Do you still want a small orange?"
Shen Changyi recalled the excruciating pain he felt when he was about to die, as well as the two months Li Shanglu had spent recuperating in bed. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we won't have any children in the future."
The medicine he had asked Elder Teng for was already effective in making him infertile. For their entire lives, they only needed two small oranges and two small tomatoes.
Li Shanglu choked immediately, and before she could find a new excuse, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Shen Changyi placed the wet copy of the dual cultivation secret method in front of her, his voice full of anticipation.
"How about trying this?"
Li Shanglu stared at the obscene picture. One little man pinched another little man and pressed him into the corner. She shyly looked away.
Damn it.
I really want to try it.
