Chapter 241 Were You Bad to Me Before?
"Are you willing to forgive me?" Li Jingshen asked cautiously. Seeing Shen Zhichu's face soften, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"It's so easy to forgive you, you think it's nice."
Listening to Shen Zhichu's words, Li Jingshen's body stiffened slightly.
Shen Zhichu was deeply moved, but he didn't want his reason to be overcome by his emotions. Even after getting rid of Lu Tingchuan, there were still many hurdles between them that he hadn't overcome.
Today there is Lu Tingchuan, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow there will be Wang Tingchuan, and Li Tingchuan will still quarrel.
It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Although she has lost her memory and become a little slow, it doesn't mean she is really stupid. She hasn't forgotten the aphrodisiac that Li Jingshen gave her afterwards, and his godsister Xia Mingyue.
These are all thorns in her heart. She never believes that they will go away if she endures them. If the thorns are not removed, they will only grow deeper and more painful.
Li Jingshen knelt on the ground, his dark pupils became wet, and he looked like a puppy who had made a mistake and was begging for forgiveness. Several times, Shen Zhichu was almost defeated by his eyes and thought about giving up.
She endured it, clenched her teeth, closed her eyes for a while, and finally made up her mind.
"You get up first."
Li Jingshen also became stubborn at this time, kneeling stubbornly: "I won't get up unless you forgive me."
Shen Zhichu rolled his eyes at him: "Does what you said before still count?"
"What?" He said a lot of things and made a lot of promises, like he had clearly said before that he would not let Shen Zhichu feel pain, but he still made her feel pain.
Looking at the bruises on Shen Zhichu's neck, he felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself twice.
"I told you I was your leader before. If I told you to stand, you wouldn't sit. If I told you to forget something, you wouldn't dare to go west. You have to listen to me no matter what I say."
"It's...it's a promise." Li Jingshen answered haltingly, fearing that Shen Zhichu would take advantage of the situation. If he said that they were going to separate, would he listen or not?
"Then I want you to stand up now."
Li Jingshen stood up suddenly. His legs were numb due to lack of blood circulation, and his thigh was injured. His sudden movement made his whole leg feel like it was electrocuted. He staggered backwards and barely managed to steady himself.
At this moment, he did not miss the worried look that flashed across Shen Zhichu's eyes. The stone pressing on his chest fell completely. As long as Shen Zhichu was still worried about him, it would be fine.
"What is your relationship with Xia Mingyue?" Shen Zhichu asked.
Li Jingshen quickly explained: "There is no relationship between her and me."
"She likes you." Shen Zhichu was very sure that Xia Mingyue's actions that day were undoubtedly a declaration of sovereignty to her, but she didn't know whether those seemingly skillful and intimate actions were done on purpose.
Shen Zhichu didn't think much about it that day, but she had a quarrel with Li Jingshen today. When she mentioned "Xia Mingyue", she clearly saw that Li Jingshen's face stiffened.
Li Jingshen knew that he could not hide the truth from Chen Zhichu. He used one lie to cover up another lie. Sooner or later, the truth would be exposed and the loopholes would be revealed.
"Yes, she likes me, but I don't have any feelings for her. You can see that. I didn't want to talk to her during the few days she returned to J City, and I asked you to stay away from her."
"Then why don't you explain it to me clearly?"
"Because I'm afraid you might have wild thoughts."
As soon as Li Jingshen finished speaking, the two looked at each other and fell silent. Shen Zhichu stood up: "Sit down first, I'll go get the medicine."
Li Jingshen sat dazed on the chair, watching Shen Zhichu open the cabinet and take out the medicine box.
"Take off your clothes and pants so I can see if the injury is serious."
Li Jingshen took off his clothes and pants without saying a word and threw them on the ground. Shen Zhichu approached with a medicine box and was shocked when he saw the injuries on his body.
His abdomen and waist were covered with bruises, and his legs and wrists were also swollen with obvious broken skin wounds. Shen Zhichu's eyes were slightly red, and he opened the medicine box and took out iodine and active oil.
Shen Zhichu looked at Li Jingshen's injuries and suddenly felt at a loss as to where to start. She put down the medicine and cotton swab in her hand and said, "Go take a shower first and I'll apply the medicine on you."
"Okay." Li Jingshen was like an obedient wolfhound at this moment. He acted quickly and came out in less than ten minutes after taking the clothes. Shen Zhichu sat on the bed with a cotton swab in his hand in a daze.
The bathroom door opened and a burst of hot air rushed out. After a brief hot flash, it was cool. Li Jingshen wiped the water off his body and didn't dare to get on the bed. He could only move the stool he was sitting on before and come to Shen Zhichu to wait for her to apply medicine to him.
Shen Zhichu didn't know what to say when she saw his "shameless" behavior. It was she who suggested applying medicine to him in the first place, and it was impossible for her to suddenly stop doing so.
Li Jingshen held the medicine box and obediently put the medicine in front of Shen Zhichu's hand. Seeing that Shen Zhichu didn't take it, he said, "I'd better apply the medicine myself. Although my hands are a little sore and the injuries on my back may not be convenient, I can look in the mirror..."
He even knew how to act pitiful. Li Jingshen was very smart and always knew how to attack and break down Shen Zhichu's psychological defenses. Shen Zhichu took the iodine tincture from his hand.
He first applied medicine on his face. When the medicine touched the wound, Li Jingshen took a deep breath and frowned.
Shen Zhichu muttered softly, “Serves you right.”
Although she said so, her hands moved more gently. However, because of the injuries, her fingers were shaking as she held the cotton swab, making it difficult for her to maintain a steady strength.
After applying the medicine on his face, arms, abdomen, waist and thighs, Chen Zhichu let him apply the medicine himself, while she used the active oil to rub the bruises on his back.
Li Jingshen's skin color was relatively pale among men, and the large bruise on his back looked shocking under the light. She pursed her lips and said, "It looks painful."
"It doesn't hurt." Li Jingshen felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a hand. He tensed his back and could clearly feel the faint breath behind him.
The injuries on his body were not even one percent of what Shen Zhichu had suffered.
Li Jingshen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at Shen Zhichu's fingers carefully.
Shen Zhichu unscrewed the bottle of active oil. It could be seen that her fingers were very stiff and inflexible. It took a lot of effort just to unscrew the bottle cap.
Chen Zhichu poured a lot of activating oil into his hands and smeared it all on Li Jingshen's back: "I'll massage you, it may be a little painful, just bear with it." Bruises like this must be massaged to heal quickly.
Li Jingshen said "hmm".
Shen Zhichu's hands didn't have much strength, so she could only press him little by little. After about ten minutes, her hands were sore.
Li Jingshen massaged his legs and stomach self-sufficiency.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Zhichu suddenly asked, "Li Jingshen, were you not nice to me before..."
