When Tao'er saw Shen Changji appear, she was almost startled.
She wanted to remind Su Miao, but when she met Su Miao's deep, dark eyes, she was instantly intimidated and dared not utter a sound.
Shen Changji gave a signal with his eyes, and Tao'er quickly left quietly.
Although she was worried about Su Miao, all she could do was wish her young mistress good luck!
Su Miao, holding the Buddhist scriptures in her hands, was completely unaware of Shen Changji's appearance.
"Brother...I really miss you so much..."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly.
"Are you happy now? Miao'er will always remember you, why... why did you leave?" Su Miao's voice choked with sobs.
Hearing the long silence behind him, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
He had no idea how important he was to this woman.
Tears streamed down Su Miao's face, dripping onto the Buddhist scripture and wetting a small patch.
His deep, silent eyes gradually darkened.
Even though Su Miao didn't turn around, he could already sense that this woman was in great pain at that moment.
He remembered that before he left, Su Miao asked him if he could stay; she was terrified...
But he still left.
Is it because of this discomfort?
Still feeling so bad...?
Shen Changji saw Su Miao's body trembling slightly, wanting to cry but not daring to cry out loud, suppressing herself.
He couldn't help but recall that before he returned to Beijing, Old Madam Shen had sent him a letter.
The story mentions Su Miao, who is timid and weak-willed, but has excellent medical skills. She learned a lot from Doctor Shen since she was a child.
If it weren't for Doctor Shen's actions, Su Miao wouldn't be all alone and miserable.
Grandma Shen felt sorry for the young girl and specifically instructed him not to frighten Su Miao. She also hoped that Su Miao would forgive him if she accidentally talked back to him.
At first, he had a lukewarm feeling towards this "Su Miao". She was just a young girl living in his house. What kind of trouble could she cause?
Moreover, Old Mrs. Shen also said that Su Miao almost never leaves the house, so he probably rarely sees her.
Yet this seemingly gentle and delicate young woman gave him an unexpected "surprise" on his first night back in the capital.
He had seen Su Miao's cunning and sharp-tongued side before, but he rarely saw her like this in the scene before him.
Could it be that all that boldness you showed in front of him before was just an act?
Actually, she wasn't that strong?
After all, everyone has a vulnerable side.
Shen Changji found it increasingly difficult to understand this woman.
Just as he was lost in thought, Su Miao's sobs rose slightly.
"Ah... Brother...! Brother!"
A long silence followed: "..."
He could clearly feel the veins bulging faintly at his temples.
This cry instantly dispelled the subtle feeling in Shen Changji's heart!
"Not dead yet!" he said in a deep voice, his face darkening.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao was so startled that she quickly stood up and turned to look at him.
Because she had been squatting for a while, Su Miao's legs and feet were numb, and she swayed a little when she stood up.
Upon seeing this, Shen Changji instinctively tried to support her, but Su Miao flinched and braced herself against a nearby tree.
"Brother...brother, you're back."
Su Miao stared wide-eyed at Shen Changji, stammering slightly, her cheeks flushed.
She reached up and wiped away her tears, then put on a smile.
Shen Changji glanced at her, then looked away.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known how quickly this woman could change her face!
Su Miao was worried that Shen Changji was overthinking things, so she explained, "I'm sorry to make you look bad, brother... I can't be too embarrassed in front of my sweetheart!"
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and composed herself.
"My beloved?"
Upon hearing these three words, Shen Changji couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Su Miao again.
“Isn’t my brother the one I love?” Su Miao boldly met Shen Changji’s gaze, softened her voice, and said, word by word.
"But... isn't brother with Sister Liu right now? Why did he come back so quickly? Did he miss me?"
As Su Miao spoke, a hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes as she looked at Chen Changji.
Suddenly, Shen Changji stopped looking into Su Miao's eyes and instead noticed the Buddhist scripture in her hand.
He reached out and took it, glancing at it twice.
"You can even copy Buddhist scriptures?"
"Hmm, I can't sleep. I miss my brother. When I feel uncomfortable, I get up and do some copying and writing to calm myself down. After all... my brother is good in every way, and I find him unforgettable and fascinated." Su Miao whispered softly into Shen Changji's ear.
She smiled deeply, her eyebrows curving upwards, her watery eyes fixed intently on Chen Changji, flames dancing in them.
It's captivating and alluring; the ambiguous words spark the imagination.
What is unforgettable, what is captivating?
Their eyes met, and they both knew exactly what was going on.
"You probably couldn't concentrate even if you copied it a hundred times!" Chen Changji mocked.
"What should I do? Perhaps... brother, you could help me?"
Su Miao's gaze was bold and direct, the corners of her lips slightly upturned, her slender hand slowly stroking down the man's chest...
A warm breath lingered between their nostrils, and their long, quiet breaths became disordered.
