Chapter 94: Miss, do you like my face?
Chen Shuwei looked expressionlessly at the "interested person" who broke into his room through the window.
"Besides you and Xun Xiao, who else do I need to be wary of in this house?"
Zhao Yun approached calmly and handed the bowl to Shen Shuwei's lips. His voice was as gentle as ever, "Miss, you just drank bitter medicine. You should eat something sweet to relieve the bitter taste in your mouth."
Chen Shuwei glanced down and saw a bowl of almond curd. She lay back on the couch and covered her face with the book. "This will help to neutralize the drug. You should eat it."
Zhao Yun held the porcelain spoon, scooped a spoonful of almond cheese and took a sip.
Chen Shuwei listened to the sound of bowls and spoons colliding beside her ears, and was about to put down the storybook to ask him to go out to eat, so as not to catch a cold from her. However, she did not expect that as soon as she put down the storybook, she met Zhao Yun's eyes which were so close to her.
Shen Shu was startled for a moment, only to see the eyes curved, and then the lips felt cold, and a sweet and fishy kiss landed lightly on the lips, and separated as soon as it touched.
Shen Shuwei's eyes widened in astonishment, he stretched out his hand to push the person away, and slapped his lips fiercely with the back of his hand, "What are you doing?!"
Zhao Yun lowered his eyes and spoke softly, "My lady cannot eat almond milk, so I can only resort to this last resort."
After saying that, he put another spoonful of almond milk into his mouth and looked at Shen Shuwei with a smile, as if asking her if she wanted to taste it again.
Shen Shuwei clenched the book in her hand, but after a little effort, she didn't throw it at his face. Instead, she threw it into his arms, "Get out!"
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold from me?"
Zhao Yun slowly finished half a cup of almond milk, put down the bowl, and pinched Shen Shuwei's hand to play with it carefully. "I wish to share the joys and sorrows with you, young lady."
He held Shen Shuwei's hand and placed it against his cheek, rubbing his cheek against the delicate palm like a big cat actively trying to be coquettish.
Chen Shu frowned slightly and pulled his hand away. "Do you know what you just did? Even if you are as open and bold as you are in Liangzhou, your behavior just now is offensive to me."
He usually likes to leave marks on her body like a dog. It's ok for wrists and fingers, and she tolerated it when he bit her arm the day before yesterday. She didn't expect that he would go further and now he is biting her mouth!
Can you bite this mouth casually?
"I know, I'm with Miss." Zhao Yun replied.
Chen Shuwei frowned as she looked at Zhao Yun, who had a frank expression and showed no sign of admitting his mistakes or even feeling ashamed. She knew that she couldn't treat Jing Yin with a normal mindset, but that didn't mean she had to tolerate him.
"I've asked Divine Doctor Yun to collect the herbs needed to treat your condition. Once all the herbs on the prescription are collected, you can leave—"
Zhao Yun seemed to have thought of what she was going to say in the second half of the sentence, and before she could finish, he stepped forward and kissed her lips again.
This kiss was more fierce than before and caught me off guard.
Shen Shuwei was aroused with anger. She stretched out her hand to pinch his chin, staring at him with a slight breath, her face full of coldness, "Don't let me slap you."
Zhao Yun's eyes softened, and he looked at her innocently and clearly, "I like you, young lady."
This was an emotion he had never felt before towards anything, alive or dead, moving or motionless.
He reacted under the influence of this emotion.
He did not reject this emotion. He thought that he should take good care of the young lady and let this precious toy last longer.
Of course, Shen Shuwei was not blind. She could feel Zhao Yun's possessiveness towards her even with her eyes closed.
But she didn't want to respond to this feeling, at least not when she knew Jing Yin was hiding something from her.
Chen Shuwei frowned, loosened his hand, and said in a cold tone, "You can't kiss me even if you like me."
Zhao Yun kneaded Shen Shuwei's index finger and played with it, looking up with a pure and harmless expression, "Why? Miss, don't you like my face?"
Once upon a time in Liangzhou, those people always praised his angelic appearance and said that his smile was like melting ice and snow, so he gouged out their eyes with a smile.
But if it was a young lady, he would hope that her beautiful eyes could stay on his face.
Zhao Yun held Shen Shuwei's fingers and pecked them lightly on the lips.
Shen Shu frowned slightly and twitched his fingers, but they didn't move. "Hibiscus white face, but a skeleton with flesh."
Zhao Yun understood what she said, which meant he didn't like her.
He left a circle of red teeth marks on the white and tender fingertips as if to vent his anger.

Xun Xiao looked at Zhao Yun who swaggered out of Shen Shuwei's room holding a bowl, and lowered his head tactfully.
Zhao Yun handed him the bowl and asked, "When will Zhao Yue go to the capital?"
The Zhao Yue he was talking about was his younger brother, who was born to the same mother as him.
He was not liked since he was born. He was raised by a wet nurse in a farm and was not taken back to the palace until he was three years old. At that time, Zhao Yue had just been born.
Unlike him, Zhao Yue was deeply loved by his mother and grew up like a star.
He had nothing in the palace, and the only thing he had was the charity from the servants. Even so, Zhao Yue wanted to take away the only thing he had.
Zhao Yun's gaze fell quietly on the tightly closed door. He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He didn't like things that were thrown back to him after being touched by Zhao Yue, but the lady was different. He could lock her up with a gold chain and Zhao Yue couldn't take her away.
Xun Xiao heard Zhao Yun's question and quickly lowered his voice to reply, "Three days later, I will enter the capital with the prince's funeral procession."
"Is that so—" Zhao Yun lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something interesting. "Xun Xiao, if the post station caught fire, would your brother risk his life to protect father?"
"That's really curious."
His words were full of childish innocence, like a child asking a question out of curiosity.
Xun Xiao's hair stood on end, and he didn't reply.
Is the prince going to save the prince on the spot?

Shen Shuwei stayed at home for a day and drank a few bitter medicines. His cold was almost healed and he went to finish the business of the refugees outside the city.
Thanks to Princess Rongyang's efforts, many tents were built outside the city and many quilts and cotton clothes were distributed, so these refugees could spend the rest of the winter safely.
Moreover, the Autumn Examination is approaching, and Shen Shuwei plans to focus on Shen Heng.
Shen's father doesn't care about anything in the Shen family, Shen Zhang is careless, and there's no need to mention Shen Zhiyang. Maybe Shen Heng will worry about her instead.
Shen Shuwei gave the people in Chen Heng's courtyard a good warning, saying that it was rainy on autumn nights and asked them to be more careful so that Shen Heng would not catch a cold a few days before the exam.
The steps in the courtyard must be cleaned carefully to avoid leaving any moss or water marks that could cause Chen Heng to fall.
In previous years, there were always some candidates who broke their hands and legs during the autumn examinations, and some were unwell before the exam and could not hold on in their rooms and had to be carried out.
Shen Shuwei didn't want his elder brother to study hard for more than ten years and then encounter something unexpected.
She was busy that day when Chen Zhang brought back a visiting card.
"Whose post is this?" Shen Shuwei asked after taking the post.
There have been quite a few invitations delivered to the door these days, including invitations to birthday parties, flower viewing parties, or more straightforward blind date parties. They have all been sorted into categories by Chen Shuwei and handled by Shen Zhiyang.
If they were close friends, they would visit with gifts, but most of them were rejected by Chen Shuwei.
