Chapter 38: Chain Stratagems
Their eyes met, and there was a glint of fire in their gazes.
The first one to be defeated was, of course, Wen Wan.
She blinked, and her eyes became redder and redder, and then she sniffed hard.
If the hard approach doesn't work, she'll try the soft approach. Didn't Chen Zhou say that Achai is most afraid of girls crying?
Let's just give it a try.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan squatted down on the ground hesitantly, then buried her head and began to shrug her shoulders.
"What are you doing? Are you crying?" Shen Yu looked down at the woman squatting in front of his knees suspiciously.
A cute little girl with two whorls on her head and a circle of disobedient little hairs around them.
Old people often say that children with two whorls of hair are the most mischievous.
This girl is the same, she is clever and quirky, just like a little fox. When she is scheming, she has endless tricks.
Wen Wan said in a rough voice: "I didn't cry!"
When Shen Yu heard this, he frowned, moved his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then pinched her cheek to make her look up.
So, Wenwan's expression became very funny.
Her chubby cheeks were deformed by his pinching, her eyes were red, and tears flowed down her cheeks onto his fingers.
Wen Wan was still wondering how to squeeze out tears, but then, his grip was so strong that he pinched her face, causing her to cry in pain.
His fingers seemed to be burned by her tears, and he quickly let go of her face.
"I really cried."
Chen Yu fumbled with the remaining tear stains on his fingertips in frustration, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you crying?"
Wen Wan sniffed, "You haven't said anything yet? You just threatened to scare me and keep me from leaving this door forever. You want to lock me up, you want to imprison me, you, you..."
As she spoke, her emotions really got aroused and she burst into tears.
While crying, she also paid attention to Shen Yu's reaction with her peripheral vision.
She had already made up her mind. If this trick didn't work, she would just say that the book was still in the hands of the "master" and then give them a random address and ask them to look for it all over the world.
But if this happens, her new identity will be impossible and she will not be able to stay in the border town.
Shen Yu's brows were knitted tighter and tighter, and the struggle between his brows was obvious.
Finally, with a cold face, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and slapped Wen Wan's face roughly.
"Wipe your nose, you're crying so ugly!"
Wen Wan cried even louder when she heard this.
"You still say I'm ugly... Where am I ugly? Look carefully, where am I ugly?"
She tilted her head back and looked at him fiercely, as if even if she couldn't stop crying, she still wanted to have a fight over this issue that all women cared about so much.
Shen Yu saw that her eyes were filled with watery light, and her cheeks were puffed out angrily. When she spoke, her lips opened and closed, looking radiant and beautiful.
He suddenly felt his mouth dry and looked away unconsciously.
"Okay, you said I'm ugly, and even looking at me for one more second is annoying..."
Shen Yu: “…”
Are women always so unreasonable when they quarrel?
Shen Yu turned his head and sighed long and weakly.
"Don't cry, you're not ugly."
Wen Wan: "You're just being perfunctory!"
Shen Yu: “…”
He rubbed his temples irritably, feeling overwhelmed and defeated.
Wen Wan decided to quit and shook his arm cautiously, "Don't lock me up, okay? I really can't get that book out right now, so don't force me, okay?"
Shen Yu raised his eyes to look at her and nodded in compromise.
Wen Wan immediately burst into laughter and said, "I knew Captain Zhou was a good man!"
Shen Yu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. "I said I wouldn't let you leave this door. I was really just trying to scare you."
He did not deny this.
"However, this matter of the crossbow is truly important. It's not something a woman like you can get involved in. If you don't want to be honest, I won't force you, but..."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "You know the origin of the crossbow, so you must not reveal it to others. Otherwise, you may bring disaster upon yourself."
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, "I know."
"Can we get up now?" Shen Yu asked with a sigh.
Wen Wan responded, but her legs were numb from squatting for too long, and when she stood up, she couldn't help but stagger and pounce on him.
Before Shen Yu could react, he felt a sharp pain in his leg.
He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
Wen Wan fell onto his lap, her face flushed with embarrassment, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, my legs are really numb."
Shen Yu sighed, "Are you still not getting up?"
"Oh." Wen Wan supported himself on his shoulders and stood up, but was embarrassed to find that there was blood on the robe on his legs.
His wound was split open by her sitting!
Wen Wan simply wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." She apologized aggrievedly, feeling guilty and not daring to look at his face.
Shen Yu looked at her quail-like expression and his anger subsided a lot.
"There's a mahogany box on the shelf. Take it down."
Wen Wan had gotten into trouble, so she didn't dare to delay and immediately took the box and brought it to him.
Shen Yu opened the box and found some small porcelain bottles and cotton cloth for wrapping wounds inside.
"Help me change the medicine."
Wen Wan obediently picked up the cotton cloth and the medicine, and suddenly remembered something, and her voice changed with fear.
"Shall I help you change the medicine?"
If she remembered correctly, his injury was at the groin, such a sensitive area.
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why, should I call Jin Mu in and tell him that it was you who sat on my wound?"
Does she have the nerve to say this?
What would it look like if it got out?
Wen Wan struggled for a while, choosing between being embarrassed in front of everyone and being shameless in front of one person, and she chose the latter.
*
Kaneki waited outside the door for a long time before the study door was opened again.
Wen Wan rushed out with a red face and ran to the backyard without looking back.
Shen Yu was sitting in a wheelchair, with a playful expression on his face that Jinmu couldn't understand.
"Finally I beat her once."
Kaneki was completely confused by what he said without any reason.
Shen Yu felt relaxed.
The little devil always made him blush, and this time, it was finally her turn to feel embarrassed.
"General? Why is there blood on your robe?" Kaneki noticed something strange with his sharp eyes.
Shen Yu cleared his throat and said, "It's just a little wound, it's nothing serious."
Kaneki: "Then let me help you change the medicine?"
Shen Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully: "No need, I have already changed it."
Changed it?
The general is unable to move around easily, so I can't replace him myself.
That is...
Kaneki took a deep breath after he figured it out.
He couldn't hide his shock, "General, have you inquired about the crossbow?"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes at him.
Jinmu understood, "General, you didn't fall for Miss Xiaowan's honey trap, did you?"
Shen Yu came to his senses after realizing it belatedly: "..."
He was too happy too early. The damn girl had clearly done it on purpose! It was a series of schemes!
Not only did she not find out about the missing bow and crossbow, but she also saw him naked?
How could he win? He clearly lost again!
He even lost his pants!
