Chapter 80 "This won't work!"
Xie Qiao kissed the girl's back and asked, "Ajin, are you okay?"
The girl didn't speak.
But the movement of biting the pillow became tighter and tighter.
Xie Qiao knew that Song Jin was being stubborn, but he also felt a little distressed.
He couldn't be too cruel, because if it left any shadow on Ajin in the future, he would be the one who suffered.
After this time, Xie Qiao got off Song Jin and carried her to the bathroom.
Song Jin hugged her nervously, tears still welling up in his eyes. She looked at the tub and said nervously, "Then... can we not do it in the tub?"
Xie Qiao looked at the girl who looked like a frightened bird and kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, we won't do it anymore, just take a bath."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Letting him carry her to the low couch next to the bathtub, Song Jin subconsciously covered herself with the clothes placed next to her, but was pulled away by Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao whispered, "It's okay, let me see if you're injured."
Song Jin bit her lip and covered her face with her clothes.
This feeling...
That's a bit strange.
It's a bit strange really.
Xie Qiao was so gentle, completely different from how he was in Chunliu Lane. He was as gentle as her husband.
Her...
Husband?
Song Jin subconsciously closed her legs and almost clamped Xie Qiao's head.
Xie Qiao asked: "What's wrong?"
Song Jin said sullenly: "It's okay, I want to take a shower."
Xie Qiao: “Yeah.”
After saying that, he picked up Song Jin and gently put her into the water.
Song Jin remained silent.
Xie Qiao thought she was tired, so he helped her take a bath while coaxing her softly, "I just checked, it's still a little swollen. I'll get you some plaster when I get back later."
Song Jin: "Yeah."
Xie Qiao added, "There is one more thing. The King of Qi has claimed to be seriously ill these past two days. Today he has sealed his residence and said he will not see anyone."
Song Jin then asked, "When I saw him that day, he didn't seem to be sick. How come he became so seriously ill in just a few days?"
"His claim of illness may not be true, but he probably won't be thinking about you recently. He must be busy with other things."
"Is that so..." Song Jin nodded.
This is Kyoto, and she knows that many things are related to the court, which is not something a small shopkeeper like her should be in charge of.
But now it seems that the King of Qi will no longer think about her.
That's good enough!
Song Jin said: "Then can I go back to do business now?"
Xie Qiao continued to pour water on her: "No, the King of Qi is still in Kyoto. It's not as safe for you to go back and live there as it is for the Xie family."
Song Jin: "Oh."
The girl continued in silence.
Xie Qiao saw that the girl was not very happy. He thought that Song Jin was bored at Xie's house, so he said, "It's okay though. You don't have to hide in the house. You can go out for a walk if you want."
Song Jin nodded.
Song Jin has always been a well-behaved girl. Even if she goes out of the house, she will not go to any dangerous places.
Xie Qiao knew.
These days at Xie's house, she could only stay in this small kitchen and study pastries, which must have made her feel suffocated.
When she was in Chunliu Lane, even though she was targeted by thieves, she never thought of not setting up her stall.
Now, because she was really afraid of the King of Qi and she couldn't afford to offend him, she came here to find him after much thought.
He knew that Song Jin liked freedom.
Even though he really wanted to keep Song Jin by his side, he couldn't. He not only wanted to get Song Jin, but what he wanted more was Song Jin's love.
He needs it so much.
So he would not lock up Song Jin, he would restrain himself and give her the freedom she liked.
He carried Song Jin out of the bathtub.
He just gave Song Jin a quick wash. The water in the tub was a little cold. He carried the girl back to the bed, took a quick shower himself, put on his undershirt, and took his official uniform: "Ajin, I'll go back to get the medicine and be back soon."
Song Jin nodded and watched him leave.
Song Jin's brows didn't furrow until he could no longer see it.
This is not right.
From the very beginning, Song Jin felt that something was wrong with him.
She now actually felt that Xie Qiao was still her husband!
This won't work.
The girl thought seriously.
Their relationship is like this, it won't go any further.
She enjoyed doing it with Xie Qiao, but more than that, it seemed that she was a little greedy.
She was a little greedy and wanted to possess her.
Song Jin thought seriously: This won’t work.
She had noticed before that she was avoiding Jiang Yan's touch.
But she had never treated Xie Qiao like this before.
At that time, she felt that she only lusted after Xie Qiao.
This won't work.
This is very dangerous.
While Song Jin was thinking with a frown, Xie Qiao had already returned from outside.
This time he didn't knock on the door. He pushed it open and came in, half squatting in front of Song Jin's bed.
Song Jin blinked.
Had she been in a trance for so long?
Why does it feel like not much time has passed and he is back?
Xie Qiao naturally lifted the quilt covering Song Jin, then unbuttoned her panties and applied some ointment with his fingers.
Song Jin bit her lip, holding back the sound, and feeling the coolness.
The strange feeling was getting worse.
It even seemed as if there was a voice shouting in her ear: This won’t work! This won’t work!
Song Jin also said: "This won't work!"
Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment. He thought that he had hurt Song Jin by moving too much.
He said softly, "Sorry, I'll be gentler."
Song Jin pursed his lips tightly.
Xie Qiao was always meticulous in his work. He applied the ointment inside and out and checked once more before putting on Song Jin's underwear.
Song Jin felt very strange.
The relationship between the two of them seemed to allow for such a thing, but also seemed to be inappropriate.
Very strange.
This wasn't like any relationship she had ever known.
Song Jin said politely, "Thank you, brother."
Xie Qiao felt his lower body tighten after hearing his "brother" say these two words. He said stiffly, "You're welcome."
Then he frowned slightly.
From the very beginning, he keenly sensed that something was wrong with the girl.
She was always polite, but now she seemed deliberately distant.
He sat there, wanting to listen to the girl's thoughts.
He was like a shameless thief, eavesdropping on her thoughts.
But he heard nothing.
He couldn't help but think of Jiang Yan.
Song Jin rejected him today, but did she really want to reject him? Or is it because of family background or because...
he?
Is she blaming him for hindering her marriage?
Such a sunny boy, just standing there, is full of indescribable vigor and vitality.
On the other hand, what about him?
He was cold and gloomy, and now because of Song Jin, he had become a lot more paranoid.
Such a dazzling young man...
He had no chance of winning.
In addition to the time book in his hand, he could also hear her inner voice, and the sex arts that he had painstakingly studied for several days.
As for the rest, he didn't even know how he was going to defeat Jiang Yan.
His heart sank, and he subconsciously stood up and sat next to Song Jin, lowering his head to kiss her.
But the girl kept a straight face and tilted her head slightly.
It wasn't that he was being disobedient, but he asked politely, "Didn't you just say it was over? You should take care of yourself and be more restrained."
Song Jin still remembered what Xie Qiao told her that year, that this kind of thing shouldn't happen too often. But now, they are doing it every day.
...In order to settle the debt quickly, Xie Qiao even ignored his own health.
Song Jin said coldly: "Since you have nothing to do, go back and rest. I want to sleep too."
The girl's words were cold.
Xie Qiao finally understood how Song Jin felt when he heard his cold voice in Chunliu Lane.
He felt heavy in his heart.
The delicate porcelain bottle in his hand was almost crushed by him.
He wasn't sure what the girl was thinking.
She spoke to herself coldly.
She was so deliberately distant.
She wanted him to leave now.
He wished he could knock himself out right now so that he could stay in Yuechuan Pavilion, in the residence he had prepared for his wife.
But.
He can't.
I could only whisper, "Okay, Jin, you should also go to bed early."
Song Jin closed his eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep soon, brother, please leave soon."
The moon was at its zenith, and occasionally a few unknown insects could be heard chirping. Xie Qiao was walking alone in the courtyard of Yuechuan Pavilion. He went around behind a rockery and reached out to push it open.
Inside was a secret passage only three meters long.
This secret passage connects Yuechuan Pavilion and Mo'an Residence.
Even if he came here every day, no one would notice.
However, he would rather enter through the main gate of the yard openly.
Or he could just live with Song Jin as husband and wife.
The door to the secret passage closed, and Xie Qiao returned to Mo Anju, back to that cold and quiet place like a Buddhist temple.
Xie Qiao raised his head, looked at the moon, and frowned.
...Jiang Yan should not have any intention of giving up today.
--
The result of Song Jin's stubbornness was that she slept until noon of the next day. It was not until Xiao Luo came to call her because she was worried that she had fainted that Song Jin woke up slightly.
The pain down there doesn't happen anymore, except for a slightly sour feeling in my lower abdomen, and my legs don't even feel like my own!
Song Jin thought secretly that he should not do too much in the future.
Even if my brother is anxious, he can't do that.
It will really break.
While Song Jin was eating lunch at the table, he heard Xiao Luo, who was making the bed, let out a soft "ah".
Song Jin's heart tightened, and he felt a little guilty: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, girl. I just feel like you weren't very honest when you slept. The bed sheet is wrinkled and there seem to be some water marks on it."
Finished!
She was so tired yesterday that she even forgot to change the bed sheets!
Song Jin blushed and made up a story: "I was too sleepy last night and went to bed without wiping myself clean. It might be the foam that got on me at that time."
“Oh oh oh, like this…” Xiao Luo took the bed sheet away: “Girl, you should wipe it clean before going to bed in the future, otherwise you will have a headache.”
Song Jin nodded and agreed: "Yeah, I know, I won't do it again in the future."
"Then take your time eating, girl. I'll go change the bed sheet first." Xiao Luo said as she found a new bed sheet. At this time, Que'er, who had just come in, was knocking on the door outside.
Song Jin: "Come in quickly!"
Que'er came in and called out with a smile, "Sister Xiaojin!"
Song Jin hadn't seen Que'er for several days and wanted to know how the shop was doing: "Que'er, you're here. How's the shop?"
"The shop is very good. These past few days I have been making cakes according to what Sister Xiaojin taught me, and they are selling very well. But the regular customers are always asking where Sister Xiaojin is. I just told them that you are visiting relatives and will be back soon!"
As Que'er spoke, her face flushed with a feeling of freedom, completely different from her previous miserable self.
In just a few days, Que'er had changed a lot.
Song Jin was also happy: "That's good, that's good. I have researched some new styles in the past few days, and I will tell you today!"
"Great!" Que'er was also happy.
After she went out to take over Song Jin's shop, she was busy all day long, but she had never been so happy!
She felt like such days were a dream.
She couldn't even imagine that a year ago, she was beaten and scolded by her mother in the yard, and was even about to be sold by her mother to an old widower who beat his wife to death.
She wanted to jump into the well at that time, and she never thought that what she and Sister Xiaojin said in the dream would now come true.
Although she had no worries about food and clothing in the Xie family during this year, it was different from now, not at all.
She does what she likes, has enough food to eat and breathes the air of freedom.
She is really grateful to Sister Xiaojin!
"Okay, I'll learn from you in a bit! But, Xiaojin, there's one thing." Que'er was a little worried: "The lady from the Lin Mansion said she still wants to see you, Xiaojin. I wonder if she doesn't believe in my skills. Xiaojin, can you go out now?"
Mrs. Lin?
Song Jin thought about what Xie Qiao said last night, and nodded: "Yes, I can go out anytime now."
Although she had only met Madam Lin once, she was considered an old customer of the shop. Moreover, it was Madam Xie who invited her to the last spring banquet. No matter what, she didn't want to lose face for an old customer.
Besides, after such a long time, she should go out for some fresh air.
