Chapter 42
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, so quiet that even Dabai retracted his tongue.
Ji Qingqing, who was very emotional just now, became like a machine that had been turned off. She became silent in an instant, lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Su Yin pursed her lips. Could it be that this guy is not as easy to fool as he looks?
Out of some natural avoidance, she didn't dare to look at Xie Lingxu's reaction, and her eyes were fixed on Ji Qingqing without blinking.
After a brief downtime, Ji Qingqing moved and floated in front of the two of them like a female ghost. Her overly long hair obscured her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
Just as Su Yin was on guard, she suddenly looked up, tugged at the silk handkerchief and fumbled for a moment before saying, "So, it's my sister."
"I have wronged you, sister. Since we are all sisters, you must serve the king well."
Suyin: ...
Overestimate her.
Sure enough, this sanatorium does not keep idle people.
Ji Qingqing took a step in front of Xie Lingxu, looked him over carefully with her eyes like a scanner, and muttered critically.
"Why are her shoulders so broad? Can the king hold her in his arms? Tsk, these muscles, what if they hurt the king? Her hips are so narrow, she doesn't look like she can give birth. She's so tall, the king has to stand on his feet to do anything... She only has a face to look at, and she has a cold expression. Do you have any sense of being a husband or concubine? No matter how favored you are, you can't be so arrogant."
Although the voice was small, every word was heard by Su Yin and Xie Lingxu.
Su Yin's expression froze. Every time she heard a word, her heart ached. In the end, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It hurts her...her butt is too narrow to give birth...her husband...is spoiled by her...?
She could already imagine what kind of bloody storm she would encounter when she returned.
Su Yin stood there frozen as if her soul had left her body. Although she looked like she was still alive, she had actually been dead for a while.
However, Ji Qingqing did not notice the abnormality of her king and was still looking at Xie Lingxu as the main wife.
No matter how picky he is, he is the king's man after all, so he still has to follow the proper etiquette.
Her expression changed very quickly, one moment she was disdainful and the next she was smiling and talking, "We sisters will serve the king together for a long time in the future. This is our first meeting, and it's not right for me, as the elder sister, to refuse anything."
Ji Qingqing looked around, pondered for a moment, plucked a handful of loose hair from Dabai, and solemnly extended his hand to Xie Lingxu.
"This white beast's fur is extremely rare. Consider it a gift for us. I hope you can serve the king wholeheartedly in the future and not let him down."
Xie Lingxu looked at the pale and thin hand in front of him. In his peripheral vision, he saw traces of hair loss left by the Samoyed, and he almost laughed out of anger.
If there was a normal person standing in front of him, he would definitely be discouraged by the depressing aura and the face that was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.
But Ji Qingqing is a patient, and a patient with abnormal brain circuits.
Looking at Xie Lingxu's expression, she slowly frowned, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Sister, why don't you accept it? Do you despise this thing, or do you despise me as your sister?"
There was no need for anyone to respond. As Ji Qingqing continued to speak, her tone became stern again.
"Or, sister, what do you think of what I said? No matter how much the king dotes on you now, you are still the younger one. Don't try to fight for a position that you don't deserve!"
The air pressure around him grew increasingly grim. Dabai curled up his huge body in fear and quietly moved backwards, trying to avoid being seen by the oppressive man.
The atmosphere in the yard was so strange that it made people feel suffocated.
Silence spread, and finally, Su Yin Quail could no longer pretend. When the murderous aura of the man next to him was almost overflowing, he rushed to him regardless and snatched away the tufts of dog hair.
"Let him answer it! Can't I answer it for him?"
The condition in Courtyard No. 1 is so horrific!
Only then did Ji Qingqing burst into laughter.
"The king really dotes on his sister."
She wiped the tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief and said to Xie Lingxu earnestly, "Sister, the king loves you so much. You must remember his kindness and serve him even more carefully and patiently. Don't be jealous or become arrogant and petty because of his favor. Do you understand?"
Begging her to stop, Su Yin really couldn't bear to listen any longer. She didn't even dare to connect the person in the words with the person behind her.
Things went against her wishes, and Ji Qingqing's little mouth was still chattering: "Sister, don't keep a cold face. I know jealousy is a sign of love. Everyone wants to monopolize the king, but the king will have other people in the future. Since you are the king's person, you must be magnanimous and tolerant."
Su Yin finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she took two steps forward and covered Ji Qingqing's mouth to prevent her from uttering any more shocking words.
She turned her back to Xie Lingxu and said in despair, "She's sick. Just treat what she said just now as a fart."
There was no movement behind her, and Su Yin still didn't dare to look at the man's reaction.
Her mind kept evolving how Xie Lingxu might behave next, and she didn't notice that the person she was holding was as quiet as death.
When he finally saw it, the face under his hand was completely red, as if he was suffocating and bleeding. Su Yin hesitated slightly and let go of his hand.
She didn't hold it that tightly, did she?
Ji Qingqing cried out "ouch", covered her face with her hands and said shyly with a blush on her face: "My lord, my sister is here, we can't get close to each other in front of him, it's so embarrassing~"
Su Yin: “……?”
Completely unprepared for this outcome, she stumbled and her back hit a chest.
There was an extra hand on her shoulder, helping her to steady herself.
Seeing this scene, Ji Qingqing's expression changed immediately, "My king, I'm still here. You can't be intimate with my sister in front of me!"
At this point, Xie Lingxu could no longer endure it and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao, come in and take care of your patient."
Xiao Zhang, the attending physician of the patients in Hospital No. 1, is actually named Zhang Xiao.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, Dean!"
Xiao Zhang opened the door in a panic and ran in. He protected Ji Qingqing behind him like a hen protecting her chicks, and then apologized to the dean and Su Yin.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is what happens when Miss Qingqing is sick. She means no harm and those words were unintentional. Please don't take them to heart!"
He had been waiting outside the door, listening to the noise inside through the crack. The more he listened, the more frightened he became, fearing that the dean would get angry and kill Miss Qingqing who was ill.
Putting himself in the dean's shoes, he could understand her. After all, she and the patient in Yard No. 3 were a good couple. Once Miss Qingqing intervened, she inexplicably became the dean's mistress. Anyone would be angry if that happened to her.
Xiao Zhang wanted to restore the impression of Courtyard No. 1 with the dean, so he said firmly and loudly, "Dean, don't worry. In our hearts, you are the only one for the Young Sect Master!"
Xie Lingxu:?
However, before he could open his mouth, Ji Qingqing, who was protected by Xiao Zhang, started to make a scene first: "What do you mean by 'only'? You bold lunatic, what nonsense are you talking about!"
She grabbed Xiao Zhang by the back of the collar, and despite her 1.6-meter height, she gave off an 1.8-meter aura. "How dare you tell me that this little one is the king's only one? What are you thinking?"
In order to take care of Ji Qingqing's health, Xiao Zhang could only bend his legs and lean back, for fear that he would accidentally drop her.
There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind, and you will be killed whether you stick your head out or hide it.
After hesitating for a second, he closed his eyes, pretending to be blind and unable to see the dean, and echoed Ji Qingqing's words and shouted: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss Qingqing is the only one for the young master, no matter what mistress or concubine, she can't surpass you!"
"That's good enough." Ji Qingqing was satisfied and loosened the back of his collar.
Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart just relaxing a little. He opened his eyes and, as expected, met the dean's gaze face to face.
He shuddered and forced a smile, putting on a servile expression.
The dean's expression was not good at all. Xiao Zhang swallowed hard and couldn't stand it anymore. He begged for help: "Young Sect Master, please say something, Young Sect Master."
What could Su Yin say? She didn't even have the courage to look at the man behind her.
Ji Qingqing even joined in the fun and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me something! Between me and him, who is your sweetheart?"
Suyin: ...
She admitted defeat. She really couldn't handle it. She turned around and ran as if she was deaf, grabbing Xie Lingxu's hand and escaping from Yard No. 1 in two steps.
After stepping out, he did not forget to close the door, for fear that the two men would chase him out.
This is the first time that the evil young master has been in such a mess since he traveled through time.
Without all the messy crying, there was a long-lost silence in her ears. Su Yin leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
I just rested for two seconds and then I realized that I was still holding something warm and hard in my hand.
She subconsciously looked up and met Xie Lingxu's dark eyes. She felt like she had touched a hot potato and instantly loosened her grip on his wrist.
There is still this big problem that has not been solved.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have agreed to let him come along.
Xie Lingxu stood firmly in front of her, looking down at her from above due to the height difference. "Tell me, who is the older and who is the younger?"
The voice was surprisingly cold, and there was a terrifying sense of oppression. The tall body almost completely enveloped her in the small shadow it cast.
His question was a bit strange. Su Yin's slow brain took a while to react before he remembered the words he had said to Ji Qingqing in a brain-wrecking reply.
Who is bigger and who is smaller.
Su Yin hesitated and whispered, "She is big—"
She had just uttered two words, but seeing that his expression was not right, she quickly swallowed it back. After a pause, she tentatively said, "Um...you are the older one, and she is the younger one?"
Xie Lingxu had a blank expression on his face. He took a half step forward on tiptoe. The already narrow distance between the two of them suddenly became narrower, leaving only a gap between their skin and theirs.
Su Yin could even feel the heat emanating from the body opposite him. The air around him continued to heat up, but the air pressure kept dropping.
At that moment, a sudden inspiration struck her. She looked up and said firmly, "There is no such thing as big or small. It's just you who lied to her."
Xie Lingxu bent down and kept getting closer to the poisoner's face until the tips of their noses almost touched.
He said nothing, his gaze fixed on hers until her eyelashes trembled nervously. Then he slowly said, "Really?"
She had never felt the warm breath of the opposite sex caress her cheek at such a close distance. Su Yin's breathing stopped and her face turned red.
Physiological reaction, cannot be controlled.
The hotter her face got, the more ashamed she felt. The more ashamed she felt, the redder her face became. It was as if she had entered a vicious cycle, and in the end, her whole body seemed to be evaporated.
Just think about it and you will know how embarrassing it is. Su Yin lowered his eyes and was ashamed to look at others, and despised himself in his heart.
This look was reflected in Xie Lingxu's eyes. He was slightly stunned, lowered his eyelashes in restraint, straightened his back, took three steps back, and brought the distance between them back to the normal social range.
The two of them had been in contact more frequently recently, and there were several times when they inadvertently exceeded the proper distance, so much so that he lost his composure for a moment.
He overstepped the bounds.
The oppressive cold breath finally dissipated, Su Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and abruptly changed the subject.
"The one in the First Courtyard is just a patient. She only said those things when she was sick. You are the dean, don't be angry with her."
It would have been fine if he had just had an attack, but the man had treated her as his lover and targeted Xie Lingxu who had gone in with her. In this situation, she felt embarrassed to just stand by and watch.
Xie Lingxu's gaze fell on the bluestone road in the distance. Without looking at her, he replied calmly, "I wouldn't take my anger out on a sick patient."
That was true. Su Yin felt relieved. He was not the righteous Xie Lingxu who chased people for no reason and had a narrow mind.
He is really a good dean!
