Chapter 7
After resting for two days due to a cold, I once again doubted whether I had obtained the inner strength of the lonely brave old man.
But Chu Yingyu said that the powerful internal energy was just something I couldn't use. It was as if I didn't have it, and I couldn't use it to protect my body.
It's like it's locked and I need to break through it myself.
You clearly said I was a threat, but you still dared to answer my questions. You are quite brave, little brother.
In layman's terms, I am now in the state of a silent active volcano.
Well, when I have a flash of inspiration one day, I will be able to dominate the martial arts world. Thinking of the scene of calling the wind and rain, I chuckled foolishly. Maybe others would be surprised to see it.
So Chu Yingyu touched my forehead and said, "Drink another bowl of medicine."
It’s over, I’ve become a big man!
"No, no, no! You'll die if you take too much of this medicine! You'll really die!"
"Won't."
"It's not you who took the medicine, so of course you don't care! What if I become disabled or stupid? Are you going to be a burden for the rest of your life?"
“…”
He was actually thinking seriously.
I begged him to save the remaining medicine for evening, and that we should take the medicine scientifically and not drink too much.
Chu Yingyu also figured it out on his own, so he didn't force me to drink another bowl. When I was lying on the bed like a waste, he actually remembered to help me collect my underwear.
Looking at those beautiful hands picking up the underwear, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Is this a bellyband?" he asked.
"Yes." I nodded expressionlessly, and added that the other one was pants, so don't touch it casually!
Fortunately, he didn't ask any more questions, but packed it up and put it back in the box. Only then did I relax and close my eyes and fall asleep.
I was woken up by him pinching my face at night, and when I opened my eyes, I saw him holding a bowl of medicine.
Dalang took the medicine late but it arrived.
The medicine in front of me was hot, and he even held a sour fruit in his other hand to counteract the bitter taste that remained in my mouth after drinking the medicine.
It's not hard to see that he has a good attitude and works hard.
You can tell if someone is serious about themselves. Besides my parents and grandparents, I definitely felt their seriousness in this young man who might have killed me.
But how should I put it? I want to be moved, but I don’t dare to. It’s very contradictory.
Do the people on the pig farm take good care of the piglets? If they do, their feelings are genuine and there is no falsehood, but in the end they still have to be sold and slaughtered.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Is he bound to the strategy system? I am the big devil. If he doesn't take me down, this and that will happen.
Or is this a double rebirth scenario? I've already restarted once, but now I've lost my memory, so why is he so caring towards me?
Then Chu Yingyu must be a scumbag who treated me badly. He hurt me, tortured me in my first round, and regretted it when he lost me. Now that I'm back, he's pretending to be stupid and starting to quietly attack me!
I think what I think makes sense. Romance novels are not read in vain.
Taking the bowl, I looked at the medicinal juice that could send people off, and drank it while pinching my nose.
If there is something you cannot understand, then choose a possibility to believe.
The plot of double rebirth and hidden identity strategy is too advanced, so let’s think about it in the most old-fashioned and common way.
So, is it possible that Chu Yingyu fell in love with me at first sight and therefore tried every means to be nice to me?
After he fed me some refreshing wild fruits, I sat on the bed, dumbfounded, watching his busy back. My stepmother image was too strong. If he weren't such a dangerous killer, he would probably be a very likable boy in modern times.
He can fight and do housework without complaining. He is a handsome guy who takes action.
"Chu Yingyu, did you fall in love with me at first sight?"
The boy's straight back paused at my sudden words, and his ponytail brushed over his shoulders. He turned to look at me, and his profile looked like a flawless work by a sculptor.
His expression of neither sadness nor joy was actually shrouded in a layer of alienation and holiness. If he was a little kinder to me, perhaps he would even be radiant with maternal love.
"It felt like old times right away."
I didn't expect Chu Yingyu to correct my words for love at first sight and replace them with another one with a completely different meaning.
You little guy, are you shy? That’s why you don’t dare to admit that you are my younger brother after all.
"If you just want to control me, you don't have to be so nice to me. After all, I am your prisoner."
"That's up to me."
"I can understand that you want to be nice to me?"
"Um."
After getting recognition, it wasn't sweet at all, and my heart wasn't fluttering.
You say he likes me, but I can't feel the pink bubbles that love brings, such as a little shyness, uncertainty, or the unstoppable desire to get closer.
But you said he doesn't like me, why would he bother with a prisoner?
There must be something I've overlooked.
My condition improved during the day, but my underwear was soaked with sweat. I didn't dare to take a shower for fear that my cold would get worse.
Chu Yingyu also considered everything I could think of, and he brought me a basin of hot water. The clean clothes were still from the old lone brave man, and even the overlong trouser legs and sleeves were shortened by Chu Yingyu.
I don't have to dress in a weird way like a tent anymore. I really have to admire his home-making skills.
Chu Yingyu walked to the bed and reached out to take off my clothes. I grabbed the back of his hand and said, "I can wash myself! I can do it!"
“…”
Very good, he didn't even bother with me.
Every time I think Chu Yingyu is pretty good, he pours a bucket of ice water on my fiery heart, freezing my ants-scratching heart again. What a drama of sealing the heart and locking up love.
I felt very ashamed and helpless. The quilt was lifted and I was stripped naked by this boy who was two and a half years younger than me.
He ignored my struggles and I was scrubbed like fish on a chopping board.
Lying on the bed, with my head buried in the pillow, I felt the warm towel wiping my cold back. I clenched my teeth and straightened my body.
If there were a mirror, I would look like a boiled crayfish, so humiliating!
He grabbed one hand and rubbed the towel between the fingers, then the wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder and back of the neck.
It was a bit itchy, and I couldn't help twisting my body, but he held me down without changing his expression.
He wiped my body firmly and calmly, and then put clothes on me.
I lay in bed, my mind empty, feeling confused about who I was, where I was, and what I should do.
It seems like this is what my cousin's husband did when he gave his dog a bath.
I glanced at the boy with a sad look, and I felt a creepy, unreal feeling.
He absolutely dislikes me. His attitude towards me is nice, but there is no respect at all. Instead, he makes arrangements in a condescending manner and manipulates things in his own way.
I didn't seem like a human being in his eyes.
I fell asleep with him stroking my back at night. I resisted intellectually, but my body couldn't resist this kind of care.
Without his help, I might not be able to live so easily on this ancient island alone.
Even if I took a boat to the Central Plains, I was unfamiliar with the place and how could I fit in?
Time travel isn't like taking a car to a foreign country; it's literally being in a completely different world. Why don't I take advantage of the other person, adapting quickly, and then find a chance to escape?
Having made up my mind, I stopped resisting and just went along with him. Two days later, my cold was gone.
But because I was sick, I missed the opportunity to go out to sea when the weather was good, so I had to stay here for a few days, and Chu Yingyu didn't blame me.
The winter wind and snow finally stopped, and the sky was clear and blue. I sat on a rock in the distance that was not washed away by the sea water, watching Chu Yingyu reinforce the raft.
Is he a god who has descended to earth? Is there anything he can't do?
Sure enough, he is Robinson and I am Friday.
Facing the warm sunshine, the young man pulling the bamboo raft came with broad shoulders and narrow waist, which made people sigh. However, I gradually sobered up as we got along, and looked at him with a look of menstrual disorder.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. I will give you a back massage."
Being sensible, I ran over to try to curry his favor, but he just waved me off. Normally, he wouldn't let me touch him.
He only touched me consciously, so I had to think carefully about what I wanted to do to him. Thinking carefully, the only time I rubbed his head with his permission was when we talked about our past.
Even when I fell asleep at night and woke up the next day, he was not next to my bed.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is something wrong with this brother. He looks good but has flaws. He is a defective product.
The weather was so good that the snow on the beach melted faster than in the mountains. A damp, cold sea breeze blew, and I wrapped myself tightly in my outer robe and sat down. I watched Chu Yingyu tie the modified raft to a secluded high ground to prevent it from being swept away by the waves.
I cleared my throat, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I took a gulp of sea breeze. After choking a few times, I met his eyes that showed care for the disabled.
"We are partners after all, right?"
“…”
"Although I don't want to ask you too much, I'm actually a cautious person. You treated me like this for no reason, and I can't guess your intentions."
This sentence seemed to cause a little reaction in Chu Yingyu. It turned out that in the sunlight, his cold and dark eyes no longer looked like bottomless pits, but a pure and beautiful black.
This look gives me a simple illusion.
"Don't guess what I'm thinking," he said.
"I want to, but I can't help it. If I can't beat you, I'll worry about my life. The weak will always pay attention to the mood and attitude of the strong."
"If you pay attention, you won't die."
“…”
It was a perfect answer, but it made me angry and I wanted to slap him in the face.
"I didn't kill you because I didn't want to. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't survive."
What a threatening sentence. I admit that I was scared.
"Then let me ask, in this world we live in, are there any supernatural powers, or reincarnation? For example, we had a connection in our previous life, and we are continuing it in this life."
"Are you still sick?"
After saying that, he came over to check my pulse. I rolled my eyes and gave up the idea. "Do I look like one of your old friends?"
Chu Yingyu nodded, and I stared at him with joy, as if I had found a breakthrough.
I found the answer!
It turns out that this was all about a stand-in. What a familiar operation. No wonder he is the only one who can touch me and not me. Then I have to find out more clearly to pave the way for myself in the future.
I was still immersed in the bloody drama of the cold-blooded killer's substitute from many years ago, and someone's claws were rubbing my head again.
After being pulled twice, that feeling of disharmony came back to me.
Is he so close to me in his behavior because he did the same to that white moonlight before?
Considering his self-revealed life story, he was displaced when he was young, sold by his biological mother, and then stranded on a deserted island. He was picked up and then transferred away. Is it possible that he would meet a gentle woman during his growth?
Then this woman gave him care and affection, but left or died for various reasons?
So after meeting me, even though I stole his fruit and was such a burden, he still couldn't bear to kill me and didn't want to abandon me. It completely makes sense!
It has that crazy feel, discovering new attributes.
"It's okay, I can be your stand-in, just tell me what you want." Who isn't a good actor? As long as you understand the requirements and don't leave me confused, I can prescribe the right medicine!
Chu Yingyu was silent for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his straight mouth, revealing the little canine tooth that had not been seen for a long time.
How can I praise this smile? It’s the kind of surprise and shock that clears the clouds and reveals the sun. It’s a smile that can make me overwhelmed and immediately agree to get married!
"Bark like a dog."
“…”
