◎There was never a moment when I looked away.◎
An Jiu learned from Lin Qingyan that they were about to arrive in Jiufang City. This proposal was made by Pei Ji, and he was stunned for a while.
She couldn't help but look at Pei Ji secretly.
As soon as he turned his gaze, he was caught by the other party, and the young man in white subconsciously raised a gentle and warm smile on his face.
It was a smile that came from the heart, not the fake mask-like smile from before.
An Jiu turned back calmly, his expression was calm, but his heart was not so calm.
He seems to have changed a lot.
He was no longer as cold and numb as before, no longer cynical, no longer thinking about controlling the martial arts world, no longer caring about anything else, not even paying attention to his own body - so much so that he was no longer in a hurry to detoxify.
In his eyes, it seemed that only she existed and he could only see her.
An Jiu was very frightened.
She knew very well the source of this panic.
An Jiu is not a good person, but she is not a bad person either. If we use modern words to describe her, she is probably a sophisticated egoist who makes all her choices based on her own interests, has a low sense of morality, and lacks sympathy and empathy.
But this doesn't mean that she would hurt someone for no reason.
Before this, she had deceived Pei Ji and used all sorts of tricks to win over him, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt.
Because at that time, Pei Ji regarded her as an antidote to poison and also had evil intentions towards her.
After all, they were deceiving each other, and he was more cruel, he wanted her life.
Why should she have such a heart of compassion, feel sorry for him, and feel guilty about him? Did she want to die?
After traveling through the book, An Jiu always remained rational and calm, and was never moved by the love of the "villain".
From the very beginning, he approached her with sinister intentions, and even when his favorability reached 85, he still wanted to kill her.
But An Jiu didn't expect that... after Pei Ji's favorability reached 95, he actually gave up using her to detoxify.
From the moment he gave up, in An Jiu's heart, this originally equal deception became unequal.
An Jiu could see that he really loved her. This love was extremely pure, but it made her feel uneasy and restless.
"I really can't figure it out. Is his brain broken? Why did he give up on killing me? Doesn't he want to live? Isn't he a cold-blooded villain? Why did he become love-brained?"
An Jiu kept shouting in his heart.
[Isn't this more conducive to your mission? You have more time, host.]
"I know, but, but... oh!"
An Jiu could be cruel to the liar, but facing a person whose heart and eyes were filled with her, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
Even though she knew in her heart that Pei Ji was a bad guy, a vicious villain, who had done countless evil things and had countless blood on his hands, and that he had deceived her and wanted to kill her before was unforgivable.
But... who can remain indifferent in the face of a love that is sincere to the extreme?
There was no way Anjiu would give up and go home.
Therefore, she could only suppress the fear in her heart and continue to play the role of mutual affection with him.
It's just that she often finds it difficult to get into the right state of mind, and still treats him with the same attitude as before, and can't even control herself, becoming more arrogant, willful, and bossy than before.
Pei Ji was the same as always. No matter when she looked over, he would always gaze at her with a pair of gentle eyes and respond to her.
He didn't ask for anything, didn't want her to be too affectionate to him, didn't want her to give him a name, and didn't ask her any questions.
It seemed that as long as he knew that she loved him, he would be extremely satisfied.
An Jiu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
[Host, do you have avoidant attachment tendencies? ]
The system's electronic sound was in his mind. An Jiu was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips: "... maybe."
Parents have a huge influence on their children. An Jiu never denied that her personality was largely shaped by her parents. Perhaps it was her parents' failed marriage that made her no longer believe in love and began to fear such strong love.
She originally thought that Pei Ji was the same type of person as her.
Now it seems that they are still a little different.
Pei Ji will be redeemed by love.
And An Jiu, she just wanted to escape.
It was evening when the carriage arrived at Jiufang City. It was a good day today. The sun was setting and the fiery clouds covered most of the sky. An Jiu leaned on the car window to admire the scenery outside, but his attention was attracted by a woman walking on the street with her head down.
"Zhou Yuru!" She opened her arms and shouted at the other party.
The woman looked up, her eyes met An Jiu's face, and she nodded and smiled slightly: "Miss An."
When they met an acquaintance on the road, An Jiu saw that she was alone, so he asked her to get in the car and gave her a ride.
Zhou Yuru did not refuse and got on the carriage.
When she stepped into the carriage, she saw a young and handsome man in white sitting inside. Zhou Yuru paused and asked, "Who is this?"
An Jiu smiled and said, "This is Master Pei, the Divine Doctor Pei, our companion who traveled with us."
I won’t say much about the rest.
Pei Ji smiled and looked up at her, his expression showing no complaints. He sat aside without saying a word, thoughtfully reaching out to pour tea for the two of them, and carefully peeling melon seeds for An Jiu.
Those hands with long knuckles and well-proportioned flesh and bones were very pleasing to the eye even when used to peel melon seeds.
Zhou Yuru was fully aware of what was going on and couldn't help but laugh, "It looks like Miss An is about to get married. I wonder why she came to Jiufang City this time?"
"It's still early." An Jiu said perfunctorily, and then answered the second question: "I came by to visit my relatives and see how the Anzhuang is doing. I happened to meet you. Do you know the current news of the Anzhuang?"
Zhou Yuru said, "Miss An, you have asked the right person. I have been asking about it. Anzhuang is now completely destroyed. The original caves have been filled by the government. The county magistrate and the governor of Qingyang County were imprisoned and executed last month."
An Jiu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that, and asked again: "What about you guys?"
Zhou Yuru said, "I have a bad reputation, but my father and brother don't mind. They even said they would support me until I grow old. I don't want to hinder my brother's marriage, so I live in the embroidery shop with my sisters and visit them at home occasionally."
As she spoke, Zhou Yuru opened the package on her shoulder and took out a bunch of snacks and food: "Look, these are all prepared by my family. Let me take them back and eat with my sisters."
When she said this, her tone was disgusted, but there was a satisfied smile on her face.
It can be seen that Zhou Yuru is living a really good life now. She is in a good mood and has a happy life. She has nothing to worry about anymore.
"By the way, Miss An, I have to thank you for your help. My brother has now passed the imperial examination and is now a county magistrate in the city. And those girls, they know that you saved them, and they all want to thank you in person. When you are free, come to the embroidery shop and we will receive you together."
After a pause, he smiled mischievously and said, "And your partner."
Hearing this, An Jiu glanced at the quiet Pei Ji and shook his head, "No, I'll go see you guys when I have a chance."
Pei Ji is a man, and those women must have been traumatized by what they had experienced, so it’s better not to take them with you.
Zhou Yuru was not surprised to hear her say this, but Pei Ji looked at An Jiu quietly, like a young wife who had been wronged but dared not speak out.
An Jiu just pretended not to see it.
After some greetings, Zhou Yuru got off the car halfway.
Pei Ji, who was as quiet as a chicken, finally spoke: "Have you saved those women before?"
An Jiu nodded and said casually, "Yes, they looked quite pitiful and I'm rich, so I just helped them. It's just a small matter."
Then he continued, "The secret village has been completely destroyed. I feel relieved. I was worried that someone would continue to open a secret village. Such a place should not exist. And the county governor deserves death! I think beheading him is too easy for him. He has harmed so many people. He should be cut into pieces and tortured to death!"
She spoke indignantly, but the man who was listening next to her swallowed inadvertently, coughed lightly and said, "You're right."
An Jiu turned to look at him and said to him seriously: "Please don't do bad things. I hate people who do bad things the most."
Pei Ji smiled gently: "How could that be?"
He said this, but secretly he broke out in a cold sweat.
Pei Ji had discovered long ago that An Jiu liked people with integrity, such as He Ziqing in his previous life, Fei Yi who disguised himself as a righteous knight at first, and Pei Ji, the genius doctor who cured diseases and saved lives.
The more he got to know her, the more he realized that he had misunderstood her too much in the past.
Although An Jiu is spoiled, that is because she has been spoiled since childhood. She is never a bad person and will even help strangers.
If such a person who hates evil knew what he had done, he would never forgive him or love him again.
Just a simple thought made Pei Ji turn pale and feel frightened.
"Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
The girl suddenly leaned over, stretched out her soft white hand, and gently touched his forehead, her clear peach blossom eyes filled with worry.
Pei Ji gently lowered his eyelids, and under his long and thick eyelashes, his gaze was as soft as the gently rippling lake water.
His thin lips, almost without any color, curved into an arc. He raised his hand and carefully grasped the girl's hand. His fingertips were icy cold, but her hand was warm like a small stove.
With just a light touch, the fiery warmth flowed through his fingers into his chest, making him feel extremely satisfied and happy.
She didn't break free.
Pei Ji held the little hand cherishingly, feeling almost nervous. He used very gentle force, fearing that if he used a little more force she would pull away.
"I'm not feeling unwell. I'm in good health." He said in a low voice.
"You're lying. You look obviously very unhappy." The girl said this, but she never pulled her hand away, allowing him to hold it. The roots of her ears, hidden in her black hair, were slightly red.
"If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. I don't want to become a widow so early." Her rosy lips curled up, as if she was complaining, but her crisp and charming voice sounded more like a spoiled child when it fell into Pei Ji's ears. "Did you hear me?"
"Yes."
The man replied in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.
The eyes that were staring at the girl never wandered away for a moment, they were deep and quiet, like the bright moonlight in the dark night.
Being looked at like this by him, An Jiu couldn't help but turn her face away and avoid his sight.
"Don't look at me like that." She muttered softly.
"……good."
However, the big hand holding An Jiu gradually became restless. The slightly cool fingertips slowly hooked around her fingers, and five fingers squeezed into her finger gaps little by little, gradually turning into five interlocked fingers.
"you……"
An Jiu felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull his hand back, but as soon as he turned his head, he was met with those dark eyes that were so deep that they almost drowned him.
He was looking at her from beginning to end.
There was never a moment of looking away.
The air that had just risen up in An Jiu's chest dissipated in an instant, like a balloon pricked by a needle.
The author has something to say:
This is what makes Jiujiu's heart beat! The young lady will only be captured by strong love, nothing else!
