Chapter 12 Heartbeat
Putting down the stone knife, she grabbed his hand, and then...
Then, he lowered his head and sucked it.
"You..." Pei Zhouwu wanted to stop him but it was too late.
She took a breath and exhaled.
At first, the wound felt a slight stinging pain, but gradually, the pain turned into a tingling sensation, a little itchy, and a little hot.
Pei Zhouwu's eyelids trembled as fast as his heartbeat.
"Miss Su... Miss Su."
Liu Fuying paused, but her lips were still on his hand.
The strange feeling of warmth quickly spread from the base of his thumb to the palm of his hand, gradually spreading along the texture of his skin, and reaching his ears, burning him red.
Pei Zhouwu only felt his heart beating faster and faster, so heavy that it deafened him.
This was the first time he had such contact.
Even his closest mother had never done such a thing for him. His mother had been extremely strict with him since he was a child and would not allow the maids in the mansion to get too close to him.
Therefore, he was particularly unfamiliar with such intimate actions.
Perhaps he came to his senses, Liu Fuying suddenly looked up and took several steps back, his fear turning into tears that quickly became wet and were about to fall.
"I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry."
Saying sorry was not enough. She turned away in embarrassment and started crying.
"I don't mean to offend, it's just that every time I got hurt like this when I was little, my mother would immediately suck out the blood from me and say it would heal faster."
“…”
Pei Zhouwu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
The hand suspended in the air was frozen and unable to move, as if petrified.
"I...calculated the time, I should...go back. Take care, Uncle Pei. I'll come to see you next time."
Before she finished speaking, she started moving.
Then she was so ashamed and angry that she picked up her skirt and ran out.
The emerald green color of the dress was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight. When she ran, the hem of her skirt and headband fluttered in the wind. Looking from afar, it seemed as if she was an elf in the mountains who had transformed into a human.
Before Pei Zhouwu could come to his senses, the person disappeared.
After a long while, his fingertips trembled and he was finally able to move. He looked down and found that the wound had stopped bleeding, but the burning sensation there was still continuing to ferment, as could be seen from the fact that his ears were still red.
"You left so suddenly again."
He was in a daze and gradually began to doubt himself.
"Su Yueying, you are not just a dream of mine."
But the things on the table in front of him reminded him that this was not a dream. Su Yueying was clearly a living person who had stirred ripples in his heart.
She walked to the table and was about to pick up the pastry that she had just asked her to taste, but suddenly she was stunned again.
There seemed to be something hidden in the package next to it.
After spreading it out and taking a closer look, it turned out to be a painted wooden hairpin. The fresh color showed that it was made not long ago.
Pick it up and take a closer look, you will see two lifelike fireflies carved on it.
One is quiet, the other is flapping its wings as if ready to fly.
"Su Yueying..."
This must have been made by her own hands.
He took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.
She left in a hurry just now, and he didn't have time to tell her not to bring anything next time. It was a waste of time, effort and money, and her life was not easy.
Thinking of her life experience, Pei Zhouwu frowned unconsciously again.

Liu Fuying was sitting in the courtyard of Changming Temple, while Jin Li was combing her hair behind her.
"Ma'am, how are you today?"
Liu Fuying raised the corners of her lips. Although she had only taken a faint glance just now, she had seen Pei Zhouwu's red ears clearly. She became more and more confident. Although Pei Zhouwu commanded thousands of troops and looked unattainable, he was actually very pure in heart and was very easy to tease.
"Looking at the lady's expression, I think the results must be good."
Liu Fuying frowned and his smile became even brighter.
"He's good at fighting, good-looking, considerate, gentle and kind, and can put himself in other people's shoes. He's not weak when he needs to be angry, and he's innocent at heart. His ears turn red when he's teased. I can't even imagine how happy I would be if he was Shen Xiu Nian."
After saying that, he sat up straight with a frown on his face.
Mentioning Shen Xiu Nian seriously really affects my mood.
"Let's go down the mountain after we have our vegetarian meal."
"Okay, ma'am. The vegetarian meal should be ready soon."
After her hair was dry and her clothes were tidy, Jin Li went to get the vegetarian meal, ate it slowly, and left the yard.
When he arrived at the gate of the temple and was about to leave, the abbot of the Taoist temple stopped him and asked him to stay.
"Abbot Xu, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Mr. Liu, don't be alarmed. I just heard that Mr. Liu donated a large sum of money to my temple this morning, so I came to thank you."
"You are too polite, Abbot. I am donating this money for myself. If I am not sincere, how can I move the gods to bless me?"
"But the old lady at home is still ill?"
The abbot frowned. He had some impression of Liu Fuying. He remembered that the last time he saw her, she came for her mother-in-law and she asked him to tell her fortune. She showed great concern about her mother-in-law's illness in her words.
"Thank you for your concern, my mother-in-law is now well again. I came here this time to ask for something else."
The abbot nodded, with a look of compassion on his face, and said, "It seems that this should be a more difficult matter than your mother-in-law's illness."
"Yes, at my home..."
Liu Fuying wanted to say something but stopped himself, lowering his head with a sad look on his face.
"In the future, I will have to bother the Bodhisattva for a while. Maybe I will have to stay for two or three days to pray for his blessing. By then, I will need to trouble the abbot to vacate a room for me to serve the deity."
"Don't worry about that. I will arrange it for you when you need it."
Liu Fuying donated so much money, not to mention opening a house, even buying the Taoist temple is enough. Naturally, the abbot will support him in everything.
"Thank you very much, Abbot."
"Sincerity can move metal and stone. Mr. Liu's request will surely have a good result."
"Then I'll borrow your words to help you."
…
After going down the mountain, the carriage slowly drove into the city.
Some people on the street recognized the carriage of General Shen's mansion and began to whisper along the street.
There were many people on the street and the carriages were moving very slowly.
"Mrs. Shen has gone into the mountains to pray for a child again. It's really hard for her."
"That's right. To be honest, the second branch of the Shen family is still the bad guy. They forced people into that state just for money. I heard that Madam Shen went out to buy fertility drugs that day, and someone saw her eyes were red from crying."
"Is this true? It's so pitiful."
"Alas, I heard that General Shen was also brought back with serious injuries last time. He has not been seen leaving the house for such a long time. Perhaps he was injured somewhere and is now disabled."
Liu Fuying in the car was listening vaguely, and when he heard that Shen Xiunian was disabled, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
What they said was a bit exaggerated.
For example, she had never gone out to buy any fertility drugs in person, but it wasn't like Chen Xiunian had never gone out. Rumors were always like this, and they became more and more outrageous as they spread.
However, this may not be a bad thing.
"The second branch of the Shen family is really committing a sin. They are now arguing about the family business. Isn't this cursing General Shen to die soon? As the second uncle, it is a sin for the elders to do this."
