Chapter 23 Blinding

Gu Liansheng didn't care what other people thought. After meeting Shen Yingxue, Shen Yingxue was the only one in his eyes.

Shen Yingxue cried so hard.

He sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and silently shed tears. From Gu Liansheng's perspective, he could see the crystal tears dripping.

Gu Liansheng didn't know why Shen Yingxue was crying, but he knew that Shen Yingxue was a proud person. Even if his memory was incomplete and his cognition was confused, he would not cry easily unless there was something that could really touch his heart.

Jiang Hanfeng...

Gu Liansheng clenched his fist and said to the people behind him, "You guys go out first."

The people from the Bafang Sect did not dare to disobey him and retreated reluctantly, leaving only Xun Yan behind.

Xun Yan felt that there was no difference between Gu Liansheng and Jiang Hanfeng. Even if Shen Yingxue was afraid of him, he would stay here and would never let Shen Yingxue get hurt again!

"Yingxue, look at me. You are safe now." Gu Liansheng did not chase Xun Yan away, nor did he pay attention to him. He stroked Shen Yingxue's back, but Shen Yingxue trembled even more violently. He quickly took his hand away, "I won't touch you."

Shen Yingxue cried for a while, and only raised her head after she controlled her emotions and stopped crying.

He has a strong ability to regulate himself. He never gets stuck in a rut, and never gets upset over things that cannot be solved.

Gu Liansheng rolled up his sleeves and wiped the tears from his face, "I cried like a little cat."

Shen Yingxue: “…”

What should I do? Even though this person's voice is a man's, it still sounds like his mother's!

Shen Yingxue looked at the lotus picture that appeared to be a square and was photoshopped onto a person's body, "Don't you dislike me?"

Even though they were just tears, they were still very dirty. Shen Yingxue seemed to have been censored by the system just now, and she didn't react much. Now when she thought about her clothes being wet with tears, she still couldn't stand it.

Gu Liansheng saw Shen Yingxue's timid expression and felt grief-stricken. "How could I dislike you? I am already very happy to see you again. How could I have the right to dislike you?"

Shen Yingxue seemed not to understand. She tilted her head and thought for a while. Then her consciousness flew away and her eyes gradually dimmed and she was in a daze again.

So cute.

Gu Liansheng felt that the longer he spent with Shen Yingxue, the more he liked her. How could this person be so likable? He had been fooled by someone before, and he didn't even think about love and betrayed her.

Xun Yan came over and said to Gu Liansheng, "If you are sincere to him, just give up the Bafang Sect, take him to anonymity, and fly away. It's not too late."

Gu Liansheng's fantasy was immediately shattered. He didn't say anything, but just stared at Shen Yingxue, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Han Jing came in with a basin of water and a towel on the copper basin. Gu Liansheng took the towel, wet it in the water, and wiped Shen Yingxue's face.

"I'm a straightforward person," Han Jing said. "Although this is the first time we meet, I should still thank you for not revealing my identity."

He is Shen Yingxue's adopted son. Many people know this, including some former righteous undercovers. Han Jing was taken back to Yuding Villa and taught by Jiang Hanfeng personally because he kept his identity a secret.

Gu Liansheng said, "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

He had already betrayed Shen Yingxue once, so why would he not let Shen Yingxue's adopted son go?

Now that he knew his feelings, Shen Yingxue's adopted son was just like his adopted son, they were all family, so there was no need to be polite.

But he couldn't let go of the Bafang Sect, and Shen Yingxue probably couldn't forget the betrayal.

They are destined not to be together.

Shen Yingxue slept soundly, and only found out the next day that he had come to the Bafang Sect from Yuding Villa.

Yuding Villa is near Kyoto, Bafang Sect is in the northwest of Yanbei, and a dozen miles further northwest is a vast desert. The local customs and people here are completely different from Yuding Villa, and the scenery is also very different, even the mosaics are more rugged.

The room where Shen Yingxue lived was the best room in the Bafang Sect. Gu Lian was afraid that he would not be used to it, so he vacated it for him to live in.

"Are we going to live here forever?" Shen Yingxue asked.

The bee mosaic on Xun Yan's body was removed, and it turned back into the previous mosaic similar to the one used to blur out criminal suspects on TV news. His face couldn't be seen clearly, and one could only roughly recognize his facial features and the position of his hairline.

Shen Yingxue was used to this kind of behavior. She no longer avoided him and they got along with each other as before, which made Xun Yan very happy.

"We can leave after hiding for a while." Xun Yan said.

He thought Shen Yingxue was always silent and spent most of her time in a daze, so she must be very bored. But he was always taciturn, so even if he wanted to chat with Shen Yingxue, he didn't know what to say. Gu Liansheng was busy communicating with people from other gangs, and Han Jing didn't know where he went. Apart from him, no one else was with the young master.

"Oh." Shen Yingxue nodded and continued watching the TV series.

He had already watched the martial arts movie last time. The plot was good, but he always felt that the villain's character design was a little lacking. He had only experimented with his own character design once, and there were still areas that needed improvement, but he couldn't think of where to change it at the moment, so Shen Yingxue asked the system to find an older movie.

[Can't you let me read novels? The images in TV dramas are too realistic, and it's not as easy to imagine as novels.] Shen Yingxue said, [The feeling I'm looking for may have to be found in ancient people. I want to read some works from a longer time.]

The system says: [To be honest, novels are the reward for the third stage.]

Shen Yingxue pricked up her ears: [What is the third stage? Is it the first stage now? What is the second stage?]

The system said: [When you see it, you will understand. The premise is that you can live to that time.]

Shen Yingxue sighed, but she still had to proceed step by step.

After Gu Liansheng finished his work outside, he came to visit Shen Yingxue and saw Shen Yingxue sitting on the steps with her legs curled up, her back hunched, her face supported by her hands, and she was in a daze.

Shen Yingxue looked like a child like this. Gu Liansheng couldn't help but smile and walked over.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Gu Liansheng.

Shen Yingxue sat up straight, turned her head, and saw a huge lotus coming slowly towards her, carrying a fragrant scent.

It turns out that this lotus grows next to the desert, which is really rare.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Liansheng lifted his clothes, sat next to Shen Yingxue, and started talking self-satisfiedly, just like they had done in the Demon Cult: "I just met Wu Qingrong from Lengcui Villa. Do you remember Wu Qingrong? We met him when we went down the mountain to get some wine."

Shen Yingxue looked at him blankly.

Gu Liansheng smiled and continued, "There is a lot of chaos inside Lengcui Villa. Since the old owner Li passed away half a year ago, his sons have been fighting more and more fiercely. Li Yunyi is a fool. He actually wanted to collude with the government, stir up trouble, and use others to kill his two brothers. However, he never thought that not everyone would do what he wanted."

After finishing speaking, Gu Liansheng paused for a moment, "Lin Shumo is also in Bafang Sect, do you want to meet him?"

Shen Yingxue responded: "Xiao Lin?"

Gu Liansheng said, "It's Xiaolin."

Shen Yingxue thought for a while: "Where is Aunt Lin?"

"After setting fire to Lengcui Villa, Jiang Zhiyi led people back to put out the fire. He met Auntie Lin again and gave her some silver and let her go alone. Later, the situation became very chaotic. When Jiang Zhiyi and his people wanted to go back to look for Auntie Lin, they were already too busy to do so."

Shen Yingxue was not in the mood to continue watching TV, so she asked the system to stop playing.

The two were silent for a while, and Gu Liansheng asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yingxue ignored him.

Gu Liansheng sighed: "You are always so silent, I can't figure out your thoughts. Sometimes I feel that you are devoted to me, and sometimes I think that you have no feelings for me and have never taken me to heart from the beginning to the end. This is all my wishful thinking."

Xun Yan, who was guarding Shen Yingxue from a distance, quietly moved away. He saw the disciples of the Bafang Sect on duty, also stretched their necks to look over here, wishing they could grow a few more ears to eavesdrop on the secrets of their Sect Master and Demon Shen.

Gu Liansheng was with Shen Yingxue, so he could not care about others. He saw Shen Yingxue's ignorant look and thought: Shen Yingxue can't be blamed for this. If he hadn't betrayed her, how could Shen Yingxue end up in this situation today? If Shen Yingxue wasn't crazy, she would have given a clear response.

He really brought this upon himself.

Shen Yingxue looked at him in shock: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Liansheng said disappointedly: "Nothing."

Shen Yingxue turned over and sat up, grabbing his collar, full of pressure and a hint of ferocity: "Speak clearly to me!"

Why did he suddenly say something so ambiguous? This is too scary. He has always treated Lianhua as his male mother. What is going on now?

Gu Liansheng felt a glimmer of hope again, and his eyes lit up: "You still have me in your heart, right?"

The light in his eyes was so bright that it could penetrate the thick white lotus mosaic and radiate in a very physical form, almost blinding Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue realized that he was a little close to this scary man, so he quickly let go of his hand, took two steps back, and looked at him again. It was still very dazzling, making his eyes a little uncomfortable.

Shen Yingxue blinked and shed two physiological tears, then she heard Gu Liansheng say, "What did you think of? Who did you see through me?"

Damn, with just this mosaic, who can see others through you?

Shen Yingxue lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, but was suddenly caught by Gu Liansheng, "You are crying again."

Shen Yingxue was very tough and indifferent: "I didn't."

"Your eyes are red." Gu Liansheng said, "Take a good look at me. Don't be afraid. I'm not Jiang Hanfeng."

Shen Yingxue said: "I know."

Jiang Hanfeng doesn't have such a terrible mosaic.
