Hearing this, the old lady believed it, invited them into the side room, and turned around to get something for them.
After getting everything ready, the old lady said, "I'll go make the medicine. If you need any help, just call me."
An Ci nodded, "Thank you, grandma."
The old lady turned and left, closing the door for them.
An Ci looked at the things on the table, quickly disinfected the dagger and tweezers, and took the time to glance at Shen Mo, "You go out, I can do it myself."
He was watching her taking off her clothes.
Shen Mo saw through her concerns at a glance, his eyes darkening slightly, "I'll help you."
An Ci refused without hesitation, "No need."
Shen Mo narrowed his eyes, "What are you afraid of?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" An Ci's eyes flickered. "Oh, get out of here right away..."
Shen Mo, "Are you afraid that I'll see you changing clothes?"
"Bullshit." An Ci's expression changed slightly. "They're all men. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Yes, they are all men." Shen Mo walked forward, one hand on the table, lowered his head, and looked at her with a serious look, "But from childhood to adulthood, I don't think I have ever seen you change clothes in front of me, right, baby?"
An Ci's heart was pounding. "Who said there wasn't any? You must have remembered it wrongly."
It's over, it's over.
Did Shen Mo discover something?
Shen Mo looked at her deeply and changed the subject, "You were injured because of me. Now that your hands are not convenient, I should serve you. Come, I will help you take off your clothes."
As he spoke, his slender jade-like hand reached out for her coat, hooked the zipper and was about to pull it down.
An Ci panicked, grabbed his hand, and subconsciously dodged backwards, but Shen Mo was determined this time and didn't give her a chance to escape.
He wrapped his long arms around her waist, tightening his wrists to hold her in his arms. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you hiding? Aren't you afraid?"
An Ci was annoyed, "Shen Mo, don't push your luck."
"Who is pushing the envelope?"
Shen Mo lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze like the sea, unfathomable. "You kissed me, slept with me, and made me fall in love with you, but you turned your back on me as soon as you pulled up your pants. I confessed my feelings to you, but you asked me if I was crazy, saying that we were both men and that we were not suitable. But in the end, you were a woman disguised as a man. An Ci, no one is as bullying as you."
Every word he said was filled with accusation, resentment and grievance.
An Ci's eyes trembled violently. The secret that had been hidden for more than ten years was suddenly discovered, and a brief blank flashed through her mind.
"you……"
"If you can't accept my feelings for you, then I won't get close to you. I'll stay away. But why do you keep coming up to me and teasing me?"
An Ci looked at him stubbornly, "I didn't."
"You did." Shen Mo locked his eyes with her and said, "I was fighting with someone, and you rushed to defend me and even took a bullet for me. If you don't have that kind of feelings for me, then just leave me alone."
"An Ci, if you just tell me that you don't have any feelings for me, that you, An Ci, will never like me or be with me in this life, I promise to disappear from your sight and never bother you again."
"As long as you say it."
An Ci felt like a heavy punch hit her heart, which was more painful than being shot.
In her previous life, she devoted herself to studying medicine and was completely blank when it came to love, let alone in this life.
When it comes to love, she is a complete novice.
"Speak, An Ci." Shen Mo pressed on.
An Ci's eyes were red, and he banged his forehead against his strong chest. He said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to talk about it."
Shen Mo was determined to pull her out of her shell, "Why?"
An Ci was silent for a while, then asked quietly, "Shen Mo, can't we still be like we were when we were little?"
"Like before, and let me watch you get married and have children?" Shen Mo sneered, gritting his teeth and said, "Do I have to give you a big red envelope then?"
He is not that generous. He is greedy and overbearing. He just wants her and her heart.
An Ci raised his head and glared at him, "You know very well that I'm not..."
"But others don't know that in a few years, Grandpa An will introduce you to all kinds of daughters from wealthy families. Do you want me to watch a bunch of beautiful women circling around you?" Shen Mo pinched her chin, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously, "An Ci, I'm not as generous as you think."
