Chapter 248 I Wish It Was Me



"Are you crazy?!" the girl was furious.

Su Xiaoli rushed over and dragged him back to the house, "The wound will get inflamed!"

Lu Sinian remained silent from beginning to end.

There was a deep sense of self-loathing in his eyes.

He could not forget the conversation he had overheard.

When he told his grandfather about his speculation, his grandfather's face was not only filled with anger, but also with grief and hatred...

He did not understand the meaning of this expression, so Zheng Bo persuaded him to go back and rest.

I stood outside Grandpa's study and waited for a while, then I heard something. "Don't let Xiaoli know what that beast did, let alone Si Nian."

What did Zheng Bo say? "I didn't expect the young master to be so absurd, totally ignoring the young master... What about the eldest lady of the Lin family..."

Lu Sinian didn't listen to what was said afterwards.

Only... the word "Young Master" echoed in my mind.

He stood there stupidly.

After all these years, Lu Sinian still can't get used to it.

Even though she knew Lu Jiahao's character very well, she could never calmly accept that she had such a "father".

He didn't know how he got to the terrace, nor did he know how long he stood in the rain, or how he was brought back to the room by Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli is now angry and hurt.

"I'll find someone to help you change into dry clothes." Su Xiaoli was also soaked. She was about to turn around, but Lu Sinian grabbed her hand.

"Don't go..." His voice was trembling.

"Where can I go? Clean yourself up and change your clothes. I'll take you to change the dressing." Su Xiaoli couldn't bear to say something so cold. She slowly explained, "I'm also wet. I need to change the dressing."

Lu Sinian finally nodded dejectedly.

The two of them changed the dressing together.

Lu Sinian kept staring at the wound on Su Xiaoli's hand.

"Grandma said that your legs and feet were also injured." His voice was very low and his eyes were deep, like the temporary silence before a storm.

"Those are just superficial injuries and will heal soon." Su Xiaoli didn't let him continue.

"I'm sorry." Lu Sinian lowered his eyes, his voice suppressed and tense.

He blamed himself deeply.

If Xiao Li had drunk the whole cup last night, given her strong character, it’s hard to say whether she would be alive now.

Was this the fulfillment of the fortune? If so, had she escaped this disaster? Lu Sinian didn't know, but he hoped so.

He even wanted to end it all and kill the beast with his own hands.

A fire of revenge burned deep in his eyes. He clenched his fists and tried his best to restrain himself.

"Brother, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been the one who got hurt."

Su Xiaoli actually didn’t quite understand why he suddenly apologized.

Or was he feeling guilty for losing control last night? The man last night was not Lu Sinian at all, but a beast controlled by drugs and losing his mind.

Su Xiaoli naturally wouldn't blame him.

She squatted beside Lu Sinian, looked up at him, and there was only gratitude in her clear eyes.

"Because of you, I was spared." She spoke word by word.

"I'd rather it be me." Lu Sinian didn't dare to look at her directly, and replied after a long while.

Su Xiaoli...

Deeply moved.

After changing the medicine and drinking the soup to dispel the cold, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I'll take you back to your room to rest." Su Xiaoli asked patiently.

Lu Sinian shook his head and had no intention of going back to his room to rest.

The mood is gloomy.

"If you don't want to rest, can I go out for a walk with you?" Su Xiaoli didn't want him to have wild thoughts at home.

Lu Sinian didn't say anything, his deep and hard jawline was tense, and his palms were trembling slightly.

Su Xiaoli tugged at the corner of his clothes, with an expectant and trusting look in her eyes.

Lu Sinian's throat was dry, and after a while, he let out a light "hmm".

There were few places to go in the rain, so I finally chose the art gallery.

The driver dropped the two people off and drove to the parking lot to wait.

The two of them strolled down the quiet corridor.

Due to the heavy rain, there was almost no one in the venue except for a few staff members.

The two of them were just strolling around today.

After walking around aimlessly for a long time, Lu Sinian still looked listless, and Su Xiaoli... was now standing in front of a modern painting with great interest.

Keep staring.

Su Xiaoli tilted her head to one side, then slowly walked towards the work, then backed away, getting closer, then further away, as if she was immersed in the beauty of the painting.

A thoughtful look.

After repeating this several times, Su Xiaoli let out a long sound.

"...Hmm...I don't understand."

In his previous life, Dr. Su didn’t even know how to “play”, let alone tinker with these high arts.

If it was a famous painting of a classical beauty, she might even study the face of the beauty in the painting in order to improve her plastic surgery skills...

But when faced with profound and obscure modern art that is somewhat "inexplicable", Su Xiaoli's reaction can only be...

baffling.

Lu Sinian, who was still lowering his head with a tired look on his face, heard what he said and then let out a light laugh from the bottom of his throat.

Su Xiaoli turned around and pretended to glare at him.

"Can you understand? You actually laughed at me."

The expression on Lu Sinian's face relaxed a little. He looked towards the bench in the corner, and his tired eyes said, "Sit down. I'll tell you something."

Okay, it doesn’t matter what you learn, since you are here anyway.

Su Xiaoli followed him and sat on the bench.

“You don’t need to understand or analyze anything, but to feel the atmosphere of a work of art,” Lu Sinian said in a young voice.

Vibe? Okay.

Su Xiaoli nodded.

This wave...what a pretense,

She asked for advice.

Seeing her confused expression, Lu Sinian curled the corners of his mouth and then closed his eyes.

“Close your eyes like I did and recall in your mind the most wonderful person you have ever met, think about her, feel her.

Then think about the painting and try to see if you can sense something about her in it.”

"Oh." Good student Su Xiaoli closed her eyes obediently.

Her mind was blank at first, but soon, many beautiful memories since her rebirth began to emerge one by one, and even the corners of her mouth began to rise unconsciously.

Before she could finish feeling the happiness and beauty, she suddenly felt a weight on one side of her shoulder and a head leaned up against it.

Su Xiaoli's body stiffened and her eyes opened instantly.

She tried to move away, but Lu Sinian said calmly, "Don't move, just feel the art."

Su Xiaoli was speechless.

Lu Sinian seemed to have put all the weight of his body on her shoulders, which frightened Su Xiaoli so much that she dared not move.

If she moved even a little, Lu Sinian would surely fall to the ground.

Su Xiaoli sat upright with her body stiff.

A few minutes later, the head on my shoulder began to snore evenly.

Huh?!

What about experiencing art?

Su Xiaoli roared in his heart.

The body still dared not move.

Considering that you protected me from danger, that you're my brother, and that you stayed up all night without rest, I'll lend you... 50 cents of my shoulder. No more!

That night, just as Su Xiaoli was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Sinian, wearing pajamas, stood outside the door holding a quilt and pillow.

Su Xiaoli’s mind went blank instantly, with a big question mark on her face!
