Si Jin quickly replied, "Go ahead."
Sheng Linyuan chuckled. He knew that it was a lie for the little tsundere not to feel sorry for her.
For some reason, the more time he spent with Jinjin, the more he felt that he had known her for a long time.
Whenever I see this person, I feel inexplicably at ease and can't help but want to kiss and hug them, and touch them inappropriately.
"Then let me kiss you first." With that, he shamelessly turned over, trapping Si Jin in his arms and covering his lips with his.
Having finally released his grip, Sheng Linyuan caught his breath and gently kissed the boy's slightly reddened eyes: "If... I mean, if..."
He opened his mouth several times, but finally mustered up his courage and said, "If one day you find out I lied to you, can you forgive me?"
"Can you... still be with me? Just like... just like now."
"able."
Before Sheng Linyuan could even feel the tension, he received a completely affirmative answer.
It was something he couldn't quite accept for a while.
He stood up slightly, creating a small distance between himself and Si Jin, and looked at him carefully: "I'm not joking."
“I wasn’t joking.” Si Jin cooperated by suppressing her smile and becoming serious. “I believe you, so I’m not angry, because…”
His pause pulled Sheng Linyuan's heart up even higher.
The time spent waiting for his reply was even more agonizing than asking the questions.
Sheng Linyuan didn't know how long Si Jin had stopped, but he felt that a long time had passed.
It was only after a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead that Si Jin continued.
"I love you too... um..."
Almost instantly, Sheng Linyuan's suppressed emotions erupted, and he quickly lowered his head to kiss Si Jin's lips.
She wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him closer, and when Si Jin looked up, she kissed his prominent Adam's apple without hesitation.
"Jinjin, my Jinjin, you must never go back on your word." Sheng Linyuan leaned against his neck, fierce like a hunting tiger, yet almost humbly whispering, "No matter what happens, you must stay with me, okay?"
The last three words escaped his lips, his voice almost trembling—
He felt a pang of regret; he shouldn't have lied to Jinjin.
But the next moment, someone replied, "Okay."
Sheng Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled Si Jin completely into his arms.
They whispered intimately, then he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't go to court tomorrow, let's ask to be sick."
Before the words had even finished, the rest of the "not for outsiders to know" voices followed and flew out of the window.
Deep within her consciousness, Little Yao'er simply built a den in the dark room: [Little Heavenly Lord is succeeding earlier and earlier, so I'm locking him in the dark room for longer and longer periods of time.]
Taking a big, resentful bite of a snack: [Awooo!]
… …
The next morning, after Si Jin fell asleep, Sheng Linyuan rested for a short while before being woken up.
It's Sheng Yu.
He received a message from his master last night and rushed over to investigate the mastermind behind the switch of medicine that harmed Si Jin. The results are now in.
Sheng Linyuan got up, reminded Sheng Yu to be quiet, tucked the blanket around Si Jin, and tiptoed to the door before asking, "Did you find out?"
“Hmm.” Sheng Yu nodded: “The prescription was originally good, but a little maid who was in charge of cleaning the pharmacy and whom the Duke of Liang had saved before was instructed to change it. We found the blood-clotting Chinese medicine she had hidden in her room.”
"But she may have destroyed the original prescription. We can't find any evidence. She refuses to admit to changing the medicine and even says that we are going to take vigilante justice against her. She is kneeling in the backyard now, crying and making a scene."
Sheng Linyuan nodded, and as he walked towards the backyard, he asked, "You just said 'you guys'? Don't you always prefer to act alone?"
Sheng Yu glanced helplessly at the person following a few steps behind him, his tone softening almost imperceptibly: "Some idiot insisted on getting involved."
