Shen Muqing was momentarily confused. Why did this older sister's voice sound so rough? How strange.
"Sister, please, I can give you my phoenix crown."
Shen Muqing immediately removed the phoenix crown from her head and placed it in her hand. Freed from its restraint, Shen Muqing's beautiful hair instantly spread out.
A faint, feminine fragrance wafted into her nostrils. She lowered her gaze to look at Shen Muqing's lightly made-up face, and a strange emotion welled up inside her.
This feeling intensified, especially when she saw Shen Muqing's unseen eyes.
"I don't care."
"I'm willing to be your slave, sister. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. Please have pity on me, sister."
Shen Muqing gripped her sleeve tightly. A cold and eerie aura emanated from her hand, and she seemed to sense danger; her voice trembled.
"Sister~"
Shen Muqing didn't know what she had done, but she felt that aura disappear.
"Okay, you'll follow me from now on."
"Really? Thank you, sister." Shen Muqing's dull eyes lit up; it seemed she was saved.
"From now on, call me by my name Lan Jin, and also remember that I am a man."
Shen Muqing was stunned. A man?
"elder brother?"
She cautiously probed.
"Okay." Lan Jin was about to leave when Shen Muqing grabbed him. "Brother, can you wait for me? I can't see."
Lan Jin's gaze fell on her eyes. This person was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. If she were completely hers, it would seem quite nice.
"I'll hold your hand."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
Lan Jin did not take the phoenix crown that Shen Muqing had given him, even though it was worth a fortune, he still threw it on the ground without hesitation.
"Brother, may I take a bath?" Shen Muqing blinked tremblingly, feeling extremely uncomfortable and sticky all night.
Her eyelashes were long and thick, casting a shadow under her eyes.
Hold my hand tightly.
"good."
Shen Muqing held his hand tightly with her soft, boneless little hand and followed him closely. It seemed that she had met a good person.
Both of them were in a good mood. Lan Jin had a faint smile on her face, and the ornaments on her body jingled as she walked, which sounded quite nice.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a village. The noise gradually increased, and Shen Muqing became a little scared. She clung tightly to Lan Jin, not leaving his side for a moment.
"elder brother."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lan Jin gently tapped the back of her hand twice with her thumb to reassure her.
"Uh-huh."
Shen Muqing nodded obediently.
When they stopped at a certain place, Lan Jin said, "Waiter, prepare a superior room and a bucket of hot water."
"Okay!"
The waiter took the money from him and couldn't help but glance at Lan Jin and Shen Muqing behind him.
The two of them looked like they were from another world.
She was dressed in dark blue, adorned with silver ornaments, and had a string of bells in her left ear. She was androgynous, possessing a delicate and feminine beauty.
The woman was dressed in a red dress, flamboyant and unrestrained, with fair skin and a beautiful face, possessing unparalleled beauty that made people want to take a second look.
Lan Jin led Shen Muqing upstairs, "What's your name?"
"My name is Shen Muqing."
"Shen Muqing? It's a good name." Lan Jin led her into the room, and the waiter quickly brought steaming hot water to the room.
"Go take a bath."
Shen Muqing was in a dilemma. She couldn't see and didn't know where the water was. Besides, she didn't have any clean clothes. What should she do?
"elder brother."
Lan Jin sat on the stool, casually picking up her tea. Her phoenix eyes glanced at Shen Muqing, who stood there helplessly, and she asked in a good mood:
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, I can't see."
Shen Muqing spoke up, feeling wronged. She didn't believe Lan Jin didn't know she couldn't get there at all. He was just laughing at her. If she weren't blind, she wouldn't need to beg anyone. When would Dandan finally fix the system?
"Oh, what should we do then? You don't want me to help you wash, do you? But men and women shouldn't touch each other."
"No... I don't need you to help me wash. Just lead me over there, and could you also prepare some clothes for me? I don't have any clean clothes to change into."
The girl's voice was sweet with a hint of pitifulness. Shen Muqing twisted his sleeves with both hands, realizing that he had indeed been too demanding.
Lan Jin thought it wouldn't be good for the girl to keep wearing her dazzling wedding dress.
"sure."
He put down his teacup, took Shen Muqing's hand, and led her behind the screen until they reached the wooden tub. "Go wash up. I've put your clothes next to you."
"Thank you, brother."
Shen Muqing reached into the wooden tub, touched the scalding hot water, and smiled with satisfaction. Finally, he could take a hot bath and have a comfortable sleep.
She eagerly began to undress, but as she removed the last piece of clothing, her undergarment, she seemed to remember something and tentatively uttered a sound.
"elder brother?"
"What's wrong? Do you want me to help you wash?"
That youthful voice came from not far from Shen Muqing, "It's okay, I was afraid you would leave me."
Actually, she was afraid of Lan Jin being around her, but thankfully he was a decent person.
Lan Jin chuckled softly. With his back to Shen Muqing, he repeatedly pondered the word "brother" in his heart, though he had no intention of being any kind of older brother.
The heat in the room gradually dissipated, and Shen Muqing felt she had dried herself off, but after groping around for a while, she couldn't find any clothes. She huddled up,
"Brother, I can't find my clothes."
Upon hearing this, Lan Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Then what should we do?"
"Could you come in and help me look for it?"
"But we are men and women, so what should we do?"
Shen Muqing had just finished showering, her face flushed from the steam. She hesitated, biting her lip, and said, "Then I'll look for it myself."
She stepped out of the wooden tub, circled it with her hands, and her leg bumped into something on a shelf.
With a loud crash, the object fell to the ground, and the person also fell to the ground.
"elder brother!"
Shen Muqing cried out in panic, "Oh dear, she's fallen and died!"
Lan Jin quickly walked behind the screen and saw her sitting on the ground with skin as white as snow. Her clothes covered her body but not quite, especially the thin red rope around her neck that could be broken with a single pull, which made her even more beautiful and charming.
And her eyes, almost crying from the pain, were wet and red as she looked in his direction.
He quickly looked away, picked up Shen Muqing, and carried her to the bed. "Where did you fall?"
"My calf hurts, brother~"
Shen Muqing grabbed him, not letting him leave, insisting that he apply some medicine to her before he went.
"Be more careful next time." Lan Jin took out some ointment for treating external injuries from her body, dabbed some on her finger, and applied it to her calf with gentle movements.
"Thank you, brother. What would I do without you?"
"Since I'm so good, why don't you stay with your brother from now on?"
"OK!"
Shen Muqing agreed without hesitation. Now that she was blind, she was practically useless, yet there were kind people taking care of her.
"No taking it back!"
"I'm so happy following my brother, how could I possibly regret it?"
Lan Jin smiled but didn't say anything, her gaze burning as she looked at Shen Muqing, the girl's innocent appearance showing her happiness.
His eyes held no lust, only possessiveness towards her; from this moment forward, the girl before him was his possession.
