Chapter 4 Ghost!

"That Shen Shilang is really blind!" Wei Jianming cursed, "Does he mean to look down on you? I think he just wants to save face and is too embarrassed to admit it."

"Second brother, stop talking!" Wei Ruyan was angry and annoyed.

She has always had a high opinion of herself, but ever since Shen Shilang was brought back by Wei Zhaoxian when he was a child, Shen Shilang has never taken her seriously.

As she grew into a beautiful young lady, many young men were attracted to her, but Shen Shilang never tried to please her whenever he saw her.

She had never seen even a hint of appreciation in Shen Shilang's eyes.

Why did Shen Shilang look down on her just because he had nothing but a pretty face? Wei Jianming's words were like comfort to Wei Ruyan.

She doesn't need others' pity and comfort! "Okay, okay, I won't say any more." Wei Jianming showed a cruel look on his face, "I didn't expect that he could still sit up, and he looked like nothing happened. It seems that the beating was not light. I will teach him a lesson after father leaves!"

Seeing that the two men not only did not know they were wrong but were even trying to get worse, Su Jinshi poked Wei Jianming hard on the back of the head.

Just when Su Jinshi was wondering whether his strong force could be fed back to Wei Jianming truthfully, Wei Jianming's head nodded forward fiercely.

It really felt like someone pushed me hard from behind.

Wei Jianming was caught off guard and was pushed so hard that he staggered forward a few steps.

Wei Jianming turned around suddenly and said, "Who dares to fight..."

Seeing the empty back, the words that were yet to be finished were silenced.

Behind him there was nothing but the empty road and the shadows of trees that looked increasingly eerie in the moonlight.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Wei Ruyan asked.

Wei Jianming asked the servant holding a lantern in front of him, "Do you see anyone nearby?"

The servant looked puzzled and said, "No, I didn't even hear any footsteps."

"Second brother, what happened?" Wei Ruyan asked again.

"Someone just hit me on the head from behind!" Wei Jianming looked around viciously, "Shen Shilang, come out!"

The response he received was a cold and quiet air.

"Shen Shilang, I know it's you. Come out here if you have the guts!" Wei Jianming's expression became more and more ferocious.

But Su Jinshi felt that Wei Jianming was actually hiding his fear.

Su Jinshi snorted and slapped Wei Jianming hard on the forehead again.

Wei Jianming's face turned pale.

This time he saw it with his own eyes, and saw it clearly. There was clearly nothing in front of him, but someone slapped him hard on the forehead.

Wei Jianming shivered for a long time, and suddenly howled: "What...what...ghost!"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Jianming had already left Wei Ruyan behind and ran away.

Wei Ruyan was so scared that she hugged her maid's arm tightly, "What...what the hell? What is Second Brother talking about?"

Su Jinshi thought Wei Ruyan was pretty, but cruel and ruthless.

Together with Wei Jianming, he almost beat Shen Shilang to death, which shows that he is not a good person either.

Su Jinshi pulled Wei Ruyan's hair hard.

"Ah!" Wei Ruyan grabbed her hair and turned to ask the maid Chunyun, "Did you pull my hair?"

Chunyun was also frightened by Wei Jianming. Her face turned pale and she said tremblingly, "I...I didn't! How dare I!"

"And... moreover, I am holding the lamp in both hands." Chunyun explained fearfully.

Wei Ruyan looked down and saw that Chunyun was holding the lamp in both hands.

Just at this moment, Su Jinshi pulled Wei Ruyan's hair again.

Wei Ruyan was watching Chunyun, whose hands did not leave the lantern.

"Ah!" Wei Ruyan was so frightened that she fainted.

"Miss...you...you don't scare me!" Chunyun was so scared that she burst into tears. "Someone come! Help! The young lady fainted!"

Shen Shilang stood at the gate of the courtyard and whispered, "No wonder I just called that girl..."

For some reason, Shen Shilang suddenly couldn't say the word "female ghost", and he was no longer as repulsive to Su Jinshi as he was at the beginning.

It was only half a day.

What did the female ghost say her name was?

Jinshi?

"It's a good name." Shen Shilang murmured.

Just now, Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan left. When he called Su Jinshi, there was no response.

Shen Shilang was curious about where Su Jinshi had gone, but he heard Wei Jianming shouting his name outside the courtyard.

Shen Shilang stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw Wei Jianming looking at the air in fear. He shouted "Ghost!" and then left Wei Ruyan and ran away.

Seeing Wei Ruyan, he was so frightened that he fainted.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Shen Shilang knew that it was Su Jinshi who did it.

Did she... go there to vent her anger on him? Because she just heard that his injuries were caused by Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan, so she went there to vent her anger on him? Shen Shilang showed an unconscious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ever since the fall of the Shen family, he has never again experienced the feeling of being valued and having someone stand up for him.

General Wei is a very good man, upright and just.

But precisely because of this, he could not cause trouble for General Wei.

So even when General Wei was not at home, he was bullied in the mansion and even the servants could step on him, but he never said anything.

In everyone's eyes, he was just a poor relative who came to the Wei family for refuge.

Actually, it’s almost the same.

Without General Wei's protection, he would not be alive today.

When Su Jinshi slid the screen back to Shen Shilang, he happened to see the smile on Shen Shilang's lips, which was so light that it was hard to notice without careful observation.

Su Jinshi's heart was moved by the slight curve of his lips, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the corner of Shen Shilang's lips.

Shen Shilang felt the gentle touch on the corner of his lips, his face trembled slightly, and he suddenly turned and left.

When turning around, Su Jinshi saw that Shen Shilang's ears were so red that they could illuminate the night.

[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +1]

Su Jinshi: “…”

What's going on?

Just touching the corners of your mouth will increase your favorability?

Shen Shilang likes this? Su Jinshi followed Shen Shilang back to the house.

Shen Shilang's fever had just subsided and he still had some strength left. He felt a little weak, so he went back to bed and lay down.

Su Jinshi gently touched the corner of Shen Shilang's mouth again.

Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover his mouth, but accidentally revealed his red ears.

"You...you don't touch me anymore..." Shen Shilang dodged left and right, and finally hid himself under the quilt.

Su Jinshi waited for a while but did not see any system prompt indicating an increase in favorability.

"Isn't it because of poking the corner of his lips?" Su Jinshi was puzzled, but he was really afraid that Shen Shilang would feel uncomfortable after being trapped in the quilt for too long, so he stopped poking him.

After a while, Shen Shilang quietly and slowly poked his head out from under the quilt.

Seeing that his face was turning red, Su Jinshi felt too embarrassed to poke him anymore and let him have a good rest.
