As Shen Shuyi watched, she fell asleep again holding Ning Shitang's hand.
When Ning Shitang woke up, he felt the soft touch of his palm and saw the beautiful face of a young girl.
His heart was pounding.
Ning Shitang gently took her hand away and stood up and left.
When Shen Shuyi woke up again, Ning Shitang was no longer by her side.
When she got up to eat breakfast, she asked the servant, "Where is the Marshal?"
"The Marshal is in the back garden."
Shen Shuyi had a simple breakfast and went to the back garden, where she saw a man loading a gun and shooting at targets.
There was still a smell of gunpowder in the air.
She walked over and saw Ning Shitang turning around when he heard the voice, with a hint of fierceness on his face.
"Brother Shitang, are you a very accurate shooter?"
Ning Shitang stood under the bright sun, his tone leisurely, "Not bad."
Shen Shuyi came to him and blinked, “Husband~I want to ask you for something.”
Ning Shitang felt that her calling him "husband" was becoming more and more pleasant to his ears, and he coughed lightly.
"What can't you want?"
Now everyone in the mansion treats her as the governor's wife, even her uncle does the same, and sends the most fashionable young women's clothes and jewelry to the manor free of charge.
What she wants is not a matter of words.
What's more...after all, she is his savior.
Shen Shuyi smiled, leaned close to his ear, and stared at the pistol in the man's hand.
"I want your gun."
Ning Shitang raised his hand, looked at the pistol, and then looked at her.
He thought Shen Shuyi might have some rare treasure, but he didn't expect it to be a gun.
"You can't shoot, so what do you need it for?"
Shen Shuyi grabbed the gun from his hand and asked, "Are you reluctant to give it to me?"
Although this gun has been with him for a long time, if Shen Shuyi wants it, what difference does it make if he gives it to her?
The problem is that I'm afraid she might hurt herself.
“I’m willing to give it up, but you won’t use it.”
Ning Shitang wanted to unload the bullet, but he heard her say.
"Then teach me."
After spending this period of time together, he knew very well that Shen Shuyi was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, so he might as well teach him.
Otherwise she would always act like a spoiled brat and annoy others.
He pointed at a red heartwood target under a tree.
"Keep your eyes on that target."
Shen Shuyi held the pistol and squinted his eyes slightly to see the target in the distance.
Ning Shitang took out another pistol and loaded it with bullets, then said to Shen Shuyi, “Shuyi, come here.”
Shen Shuyi walked to his side and watched how Ning Shitang pulled the trigger and fired.
"Did you see clearly?"
"Um..."
"Come on, try firing three shots at the target."
Ning Shitang stood behind her. He saw that Shen Shuyi had completely missed the wooden target three times.
Shen Shuyi lowered his hands, feeling somewhat discouraged, “Why is it so difficult…I didn’t even hit the target.”
Ning Shitang pinched her chin and said, "Don't give up halfway."
"Keep going."
Chen Shuyi wanted to act pitiful, but she didn't expect Ning Shitang to pinch her face. The man's fingers were calloused, and the rough touch made her feel like an electric current was running through her body.
A man's steady voice came from above my head.
"Try again, this time I'll take you for a gunshot."
Ning Shitang stood behind her with his arms around her.
Shen Shuyi was circled in front of him and raised his head.
His lips were so close to her ear that even the presence of his breath brushing against her cheek was very noticeable.
Shen Shuyi had no time to think before Ning Shitang shot him in the hand.
"Bang!" It hit the bull's eye.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Wow, so accurate."
Ning Shitang looked at her happy face and suddenly thought it would be a good idea to teach her how to use a gun.
There were too many dangers around him, and if she knew how to use a gun, then she could take care of herself.
"I'll take you a few more times, and when you get the hang of it, you can try it yourself."
Shen Shuyi listened to his magnetic voice and felt his lips gently touching her earlobe.
She suddenly felt like millions of butterflies were flying in her mind.
Ning Shitang adjusted the way she held the gun and even slightly modified her stance.
He also carefully instructed her on how to breathe, how to lock onto the target, and the rhythm of shooting after aiming at the target.
"Yes, that's it, find the best shooting position."
"Then take aim."
Shen Shuyi felt Ning Shitang's breath and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and the moment Shen Shuyi hit the target, Ning Shitang's low and magnetic voice rang in his ears.
“Very impressive.”
His warm lips seemed to actually touch her ears.
Shen Shuyi turned around and looked into his eyes, “That’s because the teacher taught me well.”
Ning Shitang took a step back, his body temperature and the feeling of oppression disappeared from behind him, causing Shen Shuyi to frown slightly.
The man looked at her with deep eyes and said, "This gun is for you."
"If someone hurts you, just use a gun on them."
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow, “I know.”
…
Ning Shitang found that his thoughts about Shen Shuyi were becoming more and more complicated. First of all, he couldn't understand why he would have such a dream.
Even though dreams are uncontrollable, when he couldn't suppress them and had to deal with them by taking a cold shower, all that came to his mind were Shen Shuyi's every frown and smile.
He thought shamefully of her...
As the saying goes, you dream about something during the day. Could it be that he has developed feelings for Shen Shuyi?
When Ning Shitang thought of this, he couldn't face Shen Shuyi. Now that they were living under the same roof, it was too difficult to avoid her.
Although his injuries have healed, he still has to stay here for a few more days to observe the situation in Ningzhou City before returning. He wants to wait for Ning Shicong to show his true colors.
