Chapter 83. The illness has progressed again. ...
When they returned to their lodgings, seeing the bright lights, Yan Jiarou sensed something was wrong. She hugged Xiao Che's neck even tighter and whispered, "Xiao Che, did something happen?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
“Okay,” Yan Jia replied softly, and then said nothing more.
Once inside, I realized that something had indeed gone wrong.
Xiao Yan killed someone; he accidentally killed Xue Run at the Wan Hua Lou tonight.
The realization that her second brother had killed someone turned Yan Jiarou's face deathly pale, and she instinctively hid in Xiao Che's arms.
Xiao Che gently patted her back and soothed her softly, "Be good, go upstairs and go to sleep first. Your second brother and I have something to discuss."
"But……"
"Yan Yan, be good."
Yan Jiarou lowered her head and said sullenly, "Alright then."
She wasn't one to cause trouble unnecessarily. Knowing that Xiao Che and Xiao Yan had important matters to discuss, she stopped bothering them and reluctantly let go of Xiao Che's hand.
——
After Yan Jiarou left, Xiao Che sat down in a round-backed chair opposite Xiao Yan, picked up the teacup on the table, and slowly began to drink.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yan grew even more anxious: "Third brother, at a time like this, how can you still be in the mood for tea?"
Xiao Che placed the teacup on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said casually, "Second Brother, it was Xue Ze who died, not someone else. I heard that he was a tyrant in Huai County, and even dared to abduct women in broad daylight. If you accidentally killed him, it would be considered as ridding the people of a scourge."
"Oh, Third Brother, even if he deserved to die, he shouldn't have died by my hand!"
“I killed someone! I actually killed someone! Apart from slaying enemy soldiers on the northern battlefield a few years ago, I have never killed anyone before…”
"And this happened in a place like the brothel, in full view of everyone! What kind of situation is this?!"
"It's really strange, I was having a drink with Miss Hua Yao when he suddenly barged in, his eyes bloodshot, his expression dazed, as if he had taken some kind of drug, and he just stood there stiffly in front of me..."
"I even suspect he's on too much performance-enhancing drugs and didn't recognize me at all. This time, the way he looked at me was nothing like the timid and submissive way he was after finding out who I was last time. Instead, he acted like he was going crazy, like he'd eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. He pointed his finger at my nose and told me to get lost, saying that Hua Yao was her person tonight and that I should go back to where I came from..."
"Third brother, tell me, when have I ever been treated like this? How can I tolerate this? Even Father has never pointed his finger at me and scolded me. I was so angry that I grabbed the wine pot and smashed it on his head."
"I was so angry I lost my temper and didn't control my strength. I used too much force, but he's an idiot. Any normal person would have been able to dodge my attack, but he didn't even flinch and took it head-on..."
"But then again, given how he seemed to be on drugs, it was impossible to expect him to be a normal person. Unfortunately, I was too angry at the time to think about that..."
"After I hit him, he just fell straight down, with a huge gash on his head, blood gushing out. It was really frightening to see. I immediately came to my senses. I thought that since I was the one who beat him up like that, I should find someone to treat him. But when my people went to help him up, they found that he was already dead..."
"Third brother, tell me, what kind of mess is this... I was supposed to go on a date with a beauty, but not only did it get messed up, I also brought back a life..."
"Speaking of which, how could this all be such a coincidence? It's like one thing after another is linked together. Third brother, do you think it's possible that the Crown Prince is trying to get me?"
Xiao Che looked up at him. The window was not closed tightly, and a breeze sneaked in, causing the candlelight on the table to flicker.
The flickering light and shadow fell on his face, making his handsome features appear even more striking, almost otherworldly. He always looked at people with a captivating air. He slowly said, "Second brother, you're overthinking it. The Crown Prince's reach isn't that far."
Xiao Yan was momentarily dazed, looked away, and nodded thoughtfully: "That's true."
“But third brother, this is a human life after all, and the Cui family is a well-known local gentry. It’s not good to make a big fuss about it. We have to find a way to settle this.”
Xiao Che said, "Of course. Second brother, don't panic, I will help you."
This was exactly what Xiao Yan wanted to hear. He picked up his teacup, took a swig of tea haphazardly, and stared intently at Xiao Che, saying, "Third brother, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Xiao Che smiled and said, "Nothing needs to be done."
Xiao Yan frowned, puzzled: "Nothing needs to be done?"
"Second Brother," Xiao Che said slowly, his long fingers toying with the cup, "Cui Run was the only son of the Cui family. The Cui family treated him like a precious treasure. Now that you have accidentally killed him, if you flaunt your death in front of the Cui family, wouldn't that make them hate you even more?"
"Furthermore, they hate you to the core right now. If they see you, they may not be as considerate of your status as the Crown Prince's younger brother as before, and they will certainly show you some courtesy. Their words will be full of resentment. Second brother, ask yourself, can you stand this?"
"That's true, so what do you suggest I do?"
Xiao Che glanced at him and slowly smiled: "Second brother, I will help you."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up: "Third brother, you're the one who helps me in this crucial moment. I'll leave this matter to you to clean up."
"Don't worry, Second Brother," Xiao Che took a sip of tea, a faint, enigmatic smile slowly spreading across his lips. "I will help you resolve this properly."
Hearing Xiao Che's approval, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
He always trusted Xiao Che to get things done.
He ran the Xiuwen Academy very well, which earned him a lot of credit from his father.
Since that incident, he has trusted him even more.
Since Xiao Che had said so, he simply dumped this mess on him. He didn't want to hear anything about Cui Run anymore; out of sight, out of mind!
——
When Xiao Che went upstairs, he found that Yan Jiarou was still awake and was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him.
It's normal that Little Rabbit was afraid and didn't dare to sleep alone after hearing that her second brother had killed someone.
After Xiao Che washed and bathed, he went to bed to coax her. As he coaxed her, they rolled around together again, both of them panting. Yan Jiarou arched her body down, her face flushed but she skillfully took out Xiao Che's treasure. Because she was too eager, her face got too close and she was unexpectedly hit on the face by it. It was big and hard, and it hurt a little when it hit her.
Yan Jiarou was caught off guard by the sudden flick and was completely stunned.
Although she knew that Xiao Che hadn't done it on purpose and that she shouldn't take her anger out on it, she was spoiled and pampered. When she was little, if she accidentally bumped into a chair leg, her nanny would hit the chair for her. Now, she looked up at Xiao Che with a wronged expression and complained, "Xiao Che, it hit me!"
She looked at him expectantly, as if begging him to uphold justice: "...What should we do?"
Xiao Che leaned lazily against the bed, and upon hearing this, he slightly curled the corners of his lips and smiled casually: "What else can I do? I'll just give it back to you."
He gently lifted her body and put the food in her mouth: "Baby, eat it."
Yan Jiarou blinked, looking at him with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"Didn't you say it hit you, hmm?" He patted Yan Jiarou's round head and looked at her encouragingly: "Do you want it to submit to you?"
"Then let's see what you can do, baby."
Yan Jiarou was always easily provoked. Upon hearing this, she struggled to hold her hands together and began to suckle with all her might. She didn't know how long it had been, but her mouth and tongue were numb. However, she still greedily sucked on the food twice before finally falling asleep contentedly.
——
But in the middle of the night, something strange suddenly happened.
Yan Jiarou should have been exhausted after retrieving the medicine. She always slept soundly after retrieving the medicine and never woke up in the middle of the night.
This time, however, was an exception.
She was woken up by the heat.
I feel so hot.
In addition to the intense heat, it felt as if thousands of ants were relentlessly gnawing along her spine, making her extremely sensitive. Even the slightest touch would cause her to tremble and utter a sound.
The familiar longing has returned, and this time it is more intense than ever before.
No, she just picked up her medication, how could she have relapsed so quickly?
Moreover, she has been inseparable from Xiao Che these past few days. Whenever she is with Xiao Che, if there is no one else around, she likes to kiss and hug him. She doesn't know why, but as they kiss, her clothes come undone.
Xiao Che had no idea when he buried himself in front of her and devoured her.
After he finished eating her food, he reciprocated by feeding her his.
Ever since she contracted that strange illness, she had developed a lust for him, whether it was his blood or his… Besides, Xiao Che was always tempting her.
She was never a person of strong will, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen for Xiao Che's trick.
Even if she could start all over again, she would still go on that trip to Mount Li.
She did not regret anything that happened after her relationship with Xiao Che.
Otherwise, they will forever remain mortal enemies who hate each other.
But this betrayed her instincts.
She won't be genuinely happy.
That's why she used to hate him so much.
What exactly did she hate about him? She finally figured it out these past few days.
What she hated most was that he didn't like her.
If he had been willing to go along with her even a little bit, their relationship would never have turned out this way.
But it turned out he didn't really dislike her, so he stopped hating her as much.
Since I don't hate it as much anymore, then...
Liking Xiao Che is an easy thing to do.
Just relax a little.
I like Xiao Jue, that's why I'll keep trying.
Xiao Che is a temptation; indulgence will lead to ruin.
Xiao Jue's habit stemmed from a promise she made easily when she was young and naive, requiring constant reminders from someone in front of her.
But that was never her true intention.
Once she leaves that environment, she will gradually awaken to herself and discover the true voice deep within her heart.
She thought she had finally seen through her own feelings.
She wants to choose Xiao Che.
——
That being said, although she can no longer hate Xiao Che, there are exceptions at certain specific times.
For example, even when she wasn't having an attack, he would entice her to get the medicine. He knew perfectly well that it would be better if she didn't get it; once she tasted the semen, she often couldn't stop...
For example, she felt that her body had become increasingly voluptuous lately, and strongly suspected that he had taken advantage of her during her period! Waaah.
In the past, she had to coax and fawn over people when getting blood, so it was quite strenuous and not very easy, and she was forced to restrain herself a little.
However, since her condition worsened, Xiao Che has changed his previous agreement that she would only pick up her medicine after receiving payment. Instead, he has been very proactive, as if he was happy to see her do so.
She only realized the key point later—the process of getting the medicine after the disease progressed was, in itself, a reward for him!
How could she resist his temptation?
And so he spent several days indulging in unrestrained behavior.
She worried that Xiao Che's recent heavy use of semen might harm his health, but she never worried about herself.
After all, as Daoqing said, there are only exhausted oxen, not fields that are over-plowed.
However, what she didn't know was that she hadn't taken the medication to slow the progression of her illness because she was unwilling to endure the hardship, and because of Xiao Che's pampering and indulgence, he took whatever he wanted from her, which led her to draw blood and ejaculate without restraint, further accelerating the progression of her illness.
Nowadays, spermatorrhea is drawn more frequently than blood, without any restraint, so the disease naturally progresses faster.
Having experienced similar situations before, Yan Jiarou quickly realized what had happened and cried, "Waaah, Xiao Che... I... my illness... seems to have... progressed again..."
Xiao Che, who had been holding her in his arms to soothe her restlessness, paused upon hearing this and frowned, asking, "Another development?"
In just a few days, it happened much faster than he had imagined.
