It could even be said that if Wen Chenlu hadn't suddenly decided to stroll by the lake, she might have actually died here today.
There was no room for error!
This silly little girl...
Xia Che became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and the more frightened he became, the angrier he got.
Do they really know how to cherish their own lives?
She clearly practices killing techniques, and it's one thing to not cherish other people's lives, but she doesn't even cherish her own?
People like Wen Chenlu, who are skilled in killing, should cherish their lives even more because of this.
"Everyone experiences pain."
Wen Chenlu said in a serious tone, "Only people who have taken stimulants and are in a state of extreme excitement for a short period of time will temporarily lose their sense of pain and not feel pain. I haven't taken any stimulants."
"you……"
Xia Che clutched his chest, utterly dumbfounded by this girl's thought process.
I was talking to her about city gate towers, but she misunderstood it as referring to her hip joint, and then seriously explained to me that she felt pain. What the hell…
"In short, you've made a huge mistake this time, a complete blunder!"
Xia Che was still furious and was about to teach Wen Chenlu a lesson with a stern face. Even if she was indifferent to him, she shouldn't treat her own life like dirt. She was lucky that he was there this time. What if he wasn't there next time?
Does this mean that one of the four-colored roses will be gone forever?
Although Xia Che was somewhat resistant to their master-servant relationship, he genuinely didn't want anything to happen to the people who were with him every day.
The words of instruction were about to come out when he saw the girl suddenly roll her eyes, and her delicate body, which had been sitting upright on the ground, fell straight backward.
With a thud, Wen Chenlu lay sprawled on the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing now?"
Xia Che was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, he found that Wen Chenlu had closed her eyes tightly, her face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and her eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was in great pain.
Reaching out to touch the other person's forehead, Xia Che felt a sharp pain in his fingertips and quickly withdrew his hand: "Damn, it's so hot?"
It feels like I've touched a piece of red-hot iron...
"Does he have a fever?"
Xia Che gasped. His forehead was burning hot; it must have been at least 40 degrees Celsius.
Come to think of it, it makes sense. Winter has already arrived, and the temperature has dropped. Wen Chenlu had been soaking in the icy lake for so long, and she had just finished training, so her body temperature had already dissipated. Suddenly immersing herself in the icy water...
It would be strange if he didn't have a fever.
"Sigh... I guess I owe you one."
Xia Che sighed, picked up the feverish Wen Chenlu, and carried her toward the thatched hut.
The training for the Four-Colored Roses is divided into different rules for each season. Recently, it was Lotus Peak's turn. My master heard that it was to train them to protect me, so he took it very seriously and readily agreed to my father's request.
However, there are no hospitals near Lotus Peak. Fortunately, according to her master, her medical skills are top-notch. Although Xia Che has never tried it, she thinks it's just a fever and should be able to handle it.
Xia Che reluctantly carried Wen Chenlu on his back, thinking to himself that it was already his rest time, and he was planning to lie in bed and comfortably watch a couple of episodes of anime...
At this moment, Wen Chenlu, who was leaning on Xia Che's shoulder, suddenly moved her lips and murmured, "..."
"Is this girl delirious from the fever?"
Wen Chenlu spoke very quickly and in a very soft voice. Xia Che didn't hear her clearly at first. He turned his head slightly to look behind him and found that only a short while had passed, but Wen Chenlu's entire face was already flushed red. It seemed that she was delirious from a high fever.
Are you asleep?
Seeing this, Xia Che didn't dare to delay and increased his speed even further.
If we don't heal Wen Chenlu quickly, she might get burned.
This little girl isn't very bright to begin with; if she gets a high fever and it gets worse, wouldn't she become even dumber?
That scene was too beautiful; Xia Che couldn't even bear to imagine it.
"Candied hawthorn..."
Wen Chenlu, who was resting on his shoulder, suddenly let out a soft murmur.
Xia Che's ears twitched. This time he heard clearly. He turned his head to look at Wen Chenlu, whose eyes were closed, pursed his lips, and suddenly smiled softly.
He remembered what his master had told him about Wen Chenlu's past.
In fact, Xia Che knew exactly what the so-called four-colored rose was all about.
On the surface, these are four bodyguards that the father specially found to protect him. He trained them from a very young age until they could grow into experts who could stand alone in various fields.
But in reality...
Xia Che knew that this was just an excuse her father made up to adopt them.
The Four-Colored Rose is actually about four orphans.
Having bodyguards is only one aspect; the other is... all four of them are adopted daughters of the old man.
Xia Che's father hadn't told him about this, but he wasn't stupid. He learned from his master that the four roses were all orphans, and considering his father's usual attitude towards them, he could already guess the gist of it.
It's nothing more than feeling sorry for the four girls and wanting to adopt them, but being afraid of his wife, he doesn't dare to adopt four daughters to compete with his mother's only daughter for her affection. So it's just an excuse he came up with.
The skills the four roses have learned are enough to ensure they have no worries about food and drink in the future. As for the so-called bodyguard, Xia Che thought about it and realized it was probably just a joke.
Therefore, Xia Che never acknowledged the master-servant relationship between them and always addressed her as "elder sister".
"Wen Chenlu's parents... I think they were small vendors who sold these kinds of snacks, right? They died in a car accident."
Xia Che snapped out of his thoughts and continued carrying Wen Chenlu toward the thatched hut.
Wen Chenlu had a happy childhood, but her parents paid the price for it.
A car accident destroyed Wen Chenlu's family.
Xia Che didn't know whether Wen Chenlu's emotional detachment was innate or because she couldn't withstand the blow after that incident and lost the ability to feel emotions.
He didn't know much either.
Hearing Wen Chenlu's murmur, Xia Che felt a slight sense of relief and looked up at the sky, which was nearing dusk.
"Should we make it in time?"
...
Lotus Peak Thatched Cottage.
Wen Chenlu woke up from her coma. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt pain and soreness in every part of her body.
"Hmm..."
Wen Chenlu couldn't help but let out a groan.
"Where am I...?"
It took Wen Chenlu a long time to recover and gradually get used to the soreness before she had time to observe her surroundings. When she moved her eyes, there was still a stinging pain that made her very uncomfortable.
"This is hell, and you are already dead."
An annoyed voice came from above Wen Chenlu's head.
"Hell? Hmm... really?"
Wen Chenlu blinked, her expression showing no panic.
"Fake! Idiot!"
Xia Che finally lost his temper and jumped out from the shadows.
