Chapter 67, Don’t Scare Me
Why do you hate Shen Yang so much?
This time, Si Xu didn't give a perfunctory answer. He pursed his lips and said coldly, "He plotted against me."
"Plot?" Shen Yang had plotted against Si Xu? When was it?
"Yu Huang first met Pei Wan'er at a party hosted by Shen Yang."
So that's how it is.
Her guess was right.
Yu Huang fell in love with Pei Wan'er and threatened Shen Yang to drug her. Pei Wan'er died, the Yu family was wiped out by Si Xu, and the Shen family came to power... This was linked to another, and from the very beginning, it was a trap set by the Shen family.
In order to gain control of the base, the Shen family used Pei Wan'er to stir up conflict between the Yu family and Si Xu, and then reap the benefits themselves.
In this conspiracy, Si Xu became the Shen family's murderous knife.
"When did you find out?"
"After Pei Wan'er died."
Jiang Ran licked his lips and hesitated: "You knew it was a trap set by the Shen family at that time, and you still..."
"It just so happens that I also dislike those idiots in the Yu family."
He just couldn't stand it, so he took advantage of the situation and wiped out the entire Yu family.
Jiang Ran didn't know how to comment on his actions: "Why did you let the Shen family go?"
After a moment of silence, Si Xu said, "Chen Bai helped me—at that time, he pleaded for Shen Yang."
Just as Su Qin said, it was because Shen Bai and Shen Yao pleaded for their brother. However, Su Qin did not mention that Si Xu had received help from Shen Bai before - perhaps Su Qin was not aware of the relationship between the two.
Will Shen Yang know? If Shen Yang knew, I'm afraid that Shen Bai's final plea was also within his calculations.
What a scary guy.
"Si Xu, how can you be sure that it was Shen Yang who plotted against you?" No matter how you look at it, Shen Lang is the one who calls the shots in the Shen family now.
"Look at how stupid Shen Lang is. How could he have thought of such a thorough plan?" Si Xu's voice sounded sullen. "The first time I met Shen Yang, I thought his smile was disgusting."
He was very vengeful. If he hadn't owed Chen Bai a favor, he would have killed that disgusting guy long ago.
Even though he knew it was a trap, he still jumped in without hesitation. If it were someone else, Jiang Ran would definitely point at that person's nose and call him an idiot.
But when facing Si Xu, especially the aggrieved Si Xu, she couldn't say a word of blame and just wanted to give him a comforting hug.
She thought so and did so.
The girl tugged slightly at Si Xu's sleeve, and when the man stopped and looked at her, she hooked her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth, whispering, "Si Xu, close your eyes, I want to kiss you."
The man closed his eyes and leaned forward slightly in obedience.
When the girl's soft lips covered his, he tightened his hands around her waist and took the initiative.
…
Because Si Xulai caused a scene, Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi saw Chen Lang after the banquet was over.
The two young men sat in front of the old man and let the old man look at them.
Time passed minute by minute, Chen Lang drank tea quietly without saying a word.
Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui showed no eagerness or anxiety. They were very calm, as if this meeting was just a social gathering of strangers.
After more than ten minutes, the old man put down his teacup, looked directly at the young man and woman opposite him, and said with a faint smile: "Very good, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing, much better than many young people nowadays."
Xie Chengzhi smiled politely: "Master Shen, you are so kind."
"Are you and Ranran classmates?"
"yes."
"I heard that Ranran followed your team at first?"
Thinking the old man was calling him to task, Xie Chengzhi slowly clenched his hands on his knees and said, "Yes."
"What a pity." The old man sighed and said coldly, "If Ranran could always follow companions like you, he would definitely learn a lot - what a pity, what a pity."
What a pity? Is it a pity that Jiang Ran followed Si Xu? Old Master Shen's attitude suggests that the rumors of discord between the Shen family and Si Xu are true.
Various thoughts flashed through Luo Rui's mind, and she said lightly: "Because she hasn't awakened her special powers, Ranran has suffered a lot following us." Without responding to the old man's words, she simply stated how Jiang Ranran was treated in the team.
She was betting that the old man's feelings for Jiang Ranran were not deep.
As expected, without asking what kind of suffering Jiang Ranran had endured, Shen Lang drank a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's a good thing for young people to suffer a little - it's better than being raised like a canary by Si Xu now."
After receiving this answer, Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief and her tense body relaxed a little.
She made the right bet. Jiang Ranran was not that important to the Shen family.
With common topics, the atmosphere in the study became much more relaxed than before.
…
Late at night, the candlelight is gentle.
Si Xu returned to the room from the bathroom and saw Jiang Ran lying by the window, muttering to himself outside.
He walked behind the girl and wrapped her in a blanket: "What are you looking at?"
"I'm thinking." Jiang Ran slipped out of his arms, took a few steps back, and gestured excitedly, "Si Xu, hit me with your space blade."
What kind of bizarre request is this? Si Xu repeated: "Use the space blade to hit you?"
"Yes, you can imagine me as your enemy." Jiang Ran spoke quickly, "Just beat me with the same force you use to beat your enemies, like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves."
Si Xu flexed his wrist and said seriously, "If it's a real enemy, I usually use a knife."
Jiang Ran raised his hands: "No, no, no, I can't use a knife. It will kill people."
With just one cut from his Tang sword, she might not be able to be saved even if she went to the hospital.
Jiang Ran urged him: "Use the space blade, hurry up, hurry up, Si Xu!"
Well, she's so cute when she's acting coquettish... The big boss, overwhelmed by her cuteness, met the girl's request and threw a space blade to her.
Not knowing what the girl wanted to do, he deliberately controlled his strength to avoid hurting her.
The sharp blade that tore through the air came in an instant, but Jiang Ran did not dodge, but took two steps forward.
Si Xu didn't expect the girl to react like this. Without time to stop, he watched the girl crash into his space blade.
"Jiang Ran!"
His heart tightened, and he hastily withdrew his hand. He rushed to the girl, held her shoulders, his eyes red, and his voice was a little anxious and trembling.
"Jiang Ran, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"Si Xu..." Jiang Ran didn't notice the abnormality in the young man's tone. He was immersed in his own discovery, stamping his feet excitedly and shouting, "Look, your ability can't hurt me at all!"
Si Xu: “…”
"It was the same thing at the Shen family just now. That gold-type mutant wanted to attack me, but his ability disappeared when it touched me!"
Jiang Ran became more and more excited as she spoke. She grabbed Si Xu's hands and looked up at him.
"Si Xu, do you think I've awakened some powerful supernatural power...Si Xu?"
The young man's face was pale, his thin lips were pressed into a line, and his hands hanging at his sides were unconsciously clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
"Si Xu?" Finally noticing that something was wrong with the man, Jiang Ran suddenly realized that what she had just done was inappropriate. She quickly reached out to hug the man in front of her and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Si Xu, I should have told you in advance. I just wanted to make sure and give you a surprise. I'm sorry, I was willful. Don't be angry..."
“…” Still no answer.
"I'm sorry." She tightened her arms around him, sniffed, and said seriously, "Si Xu, I was willful. Don't be angry. I won't do it again next time. I promise!"
Her cheek rested against his chest, and she heard him let out a long breath before raising his arms and hugging her tightly.
He buried his cheek in the crook of her neck, rubbing it gently like a little animal.
Before Jiang Ran could feel relieved, she heard him whisper something in her ear, his voice slightly hoarse.
He said, Jiang Ran, don't scare me.
