Chapter 64 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord
The panic in Shen Zhi's eyes could hardly be concealed.
Yin Nan's rough fingertips stroked his chin, leaving a red mark instantly. Warm tears slid down Shen Zhi's fair cheeks along with the shudder brought by the pain and soaked into Yin Nan's palm.
So timid?
Yin Nan raised his eyelids, glanced sideways at Qi Wenyan, and curled the corners of his mouth silently.
Legend has it that the owner of the Chongming Mirror is a kind and pure being. Could he lie? His wife is nothing like the vicious and domineering image described by the owner of the Chongming Mirror.
How interesting.
Qi Wenyan felt Yin Nantou's gaze and smiled. It was he who woke up Jiang Dongsheng. Now that Jiang Dongsheng had returned to being a normal person, his eyes should always be on him.
Qi Wenyan enjoyed Jiang Dongsheng's gaze and glanced at the panicked Shen Zhi. She cried so seductively like a vixen. But, what does it matter if she looks good?
The restored Jiang Dongsheng would only be his.
Qi Wenyan walked forward and said softly, "Brother, you are well now. I will help you back to your room."
Yin Nan dodged the hand that Qi Wenyan extended and dragged his broken leg back to the east room.
Shen Zhi stood there, looking at Jiang Dongsheng's back. For the first time, he felt helpless. Jiang Dongsheng would never ignore him. What was going on?
Jiang Nian could not forget the moment when Shen Zhi hugged his elder brother, his tearful eyes full of love, and his sweet voice as if calling his beloved, but how could his elder brother be Shen Zhi's beloved.
He should have been the one being hugged by Shen Zhiyi and expressing his love.
Jiang Nian went up to comfort his eldest sister-in-law who had suddenly changed her husband's attitude, "My eldest brother was hit on the head by the mudslide, he just lost his memory."
Shen Zhi did not get any comfort and was in a state of panic, but he always felt that Jiang Dongsheng's heart had changed. Could it be that he had just lost his memory?
Amnesia can make a person completely unable to recognize any of his previous appearance that is familiar to people around him, is that right?
Shen Zhi didn't dare to think too much.
Jiang Nian didn't stay long, as he had to return the tractor and go to class today. Moreover, he didn't want to see his elder brother and Shen Zhi being so affectionate, which made him feel heartbroken.
Shen Zhi was completely occupied by Jiang Dongsheng and did not notice the change in Jiang Nian's expression.
Shen Zhi walked into the house. It was freezing cold outside, but the house was as warm as the spring sun. Jiang Dongsheng had collected a yard full of firewood before winter so that he could keep the kang heated all the time in winter to prevent Shen Zhi from freezing.
These days Li Cuijuan comes to help light the kang, and the temperature in the room seems to be enough to warm people up.
It was also Qi Wenyan's first time coming in, and he shivered at the sudden heat. He felt the temperature in the room with envy, and then remembered that the west room was like an ice cellar with the stove lit in winter. A hint of hatred flashed across Qi Wenyan's eyes.
The Jiang family is really partial. The furniture they bought for themselves is a flashy wooden bed, which is so cold in winter that it makes your bones ache. But the furniture they bought for Shen Zhi is a cozy kang, which is so warm that it makes you feel sexy. It's really unfair.
Qi Wenyan completely forgot how he initially looked down upon the kang in the east room.
Qi Wenyan suppressed his anger, knowing that it would be his sooner or later anyway.
Qi Wenyan pulled the corners of his mouth and turned into the face that Yin Nan often saw these days, gentle, capable and good-tempered. Qi Wenyan squatted down and said, "Brother, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll help you take off your shoes."
Yin Nan has been served by demon servants since he moved into the demon world, and he didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment.
It's just that Yin Nan has seen too many humble monsters who want to climb into bed, and the greed that can't be concealed in their eyes makes him sick. The poor disguise of the man in front of him is easily exposed. He has an ordinary face, and he doesn't know who gave him the illusion that he can seduce him.
He has no self-awareness at all.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Yin Nan's eyes. Chong Mingjing really chose the wrong person this time. He actually chose such a disgusting guy.
Yin Nan looked towards the door inadvertently. Shen Zhi was standing there uncomfortably, his eyes red from crying, still staring at him eagerly.
It would be better if his soul fell in love with someone. Even if he was stupid and willful, his direct and bold flattery was unique. At least he was not so annoyed.
"No need," Yin Nan rejected him and turned to Shen Zhi, "You take it off for me."
Qi Wenyan was frightened by Yin Nan's eyes just now, which were full of unfathomable cold malice. When Qi Wenyan mustered up the courage to take a closer look, he had disappeared without a trace.
How could Jiang Dongsheng, who was awakened by the blood in his heart, want to kill himself? It must be an illusion, Qi Wenyan forced himself to calm down.
Yin Nan leaned against the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed, waiting for Shen Zhi to move over. When Shen Zhi walked a little closer, Yin Nan curled his lips and said, "Don't you love me very much? You will take care of me, right?"
Don't show that you care about him so much, or he will try to test you.
Yin Nan would repeat this over and over again, continually testing the sincerity of someone who claims to love someone, until that person reveals the truth, and then Yin Nan would cruelly send him to hell.
This is the price of deceiving him. No one can lie to the Demon Lord and get away with it safely.
Since "his" wife loves him, let Yin Nan see how much she loves him.
Shen Zhi walked up to Yin Nan and squatted down. He took Yin Nan's hand on his knees with his cool and soft hands and held it tightly. He raised his head, and his clear black pupils seemed to be immersed in mountain spring water, reflecting Yin Nan's indifferent eyes clearly.
Shen Zhi grabbed Yin Nan's rough hand with trembling fingers and put it against his face.
Yin Nan made an impatient "tsk" sound and tried to pull away but was held even tighter. Yin Nan was forced to feel the soft and smooth touch of his palm. He stared at the tears dripping from the corners of Shen Zhi's eyes.
Yin Nan's cold heart did not waver at all. His understanding of Shen Zhi rose to a new level: a useless person who could only cry.
"Don't you want to take care of me?" Yin Nan curled his lips maliciously, "Are you saying you love me just to fool me?"
Shen Zhi shook his head in panic and denied, "No."
"You lost your memory. Have you forgotten me?" Shen Zhi was stubbornly looking for an answer that would let him go. Shen Zhi's voice was so trembling that it sounded more like a plea to Yin Nan. "Will you still remember me?"
What a trouble.
How could his soul be connected with such a troublemaker? Yin Nan looked at Shen Zhi's fragile expression, his Adam's apple rolling. This guy was really too proud.
Yin Nan's gaze stayed on Shen Zhi's pursed red lips, as if he was uneasy and expectant. Yin Nan did not answer. Cutting off ties with Shen Zhi would be his best choice.
The final outcome of his soul will be to merge with him, and his memory will be restored and he will remember the past. So what if he remembers Shen Zhi? By then, Jiang Dongsheng will no longer be the original Jiang Dongsheng.
Shen Zhi's plea seemed very ridiculous in front of Yin Nan.
Shen Zhi opened her soft lips and breathed softly as if she was grabbing the last straw, "Husband?"
Yin Nan's heart began to beat abnormally and he nodded as if he was bewitched.
It's not that he can't deceive Shen Zhi for a while longer.
Shen Zhi curled up the corners of his mouth, and the tears that had not yet fallen were like dewdrops on blooming flowers. His beautiful eyes glowed with a brilliance that was so dazzling that it was captivating.
Even if Yin Nan looked down on Shen Zhi, he had to admit that Shen Zhi had a good-looking face that made people feel soft-hearted.
The tip of Shen Zhi's nose was red, and the joy of getting the guarantee made him let out a sweet smile. His fair and tender cheeks had just been wet with tears, and now he suddenly smiled, looking pitiful and adorable.
"I will take good care of you," Shen Zhi promised Yin Nan, with a hint of determination appearing on his fragile and weak face.
Shen Zhi lowered his head, and before his fingers landed on Yin Nan's shoes, Yin Nan leaned over and grabbed them fiercely. The excessive force made Shen Zhi frown. Shen Zhi looked up, not knowing why.
But Yin Nan pulled him up with an expressionless face, "You can take it off yourself."
Shen Zhi stood by and didn't know what he had done wrong. He just wanted to make up for it. "Are you hungry? I cooked for you."
Qi Wenyan couldn't figure out Jiang Dongsheng's attitude towards Shen Zhi. He seemed to be very annoyed, but also seemed to have something different. After returning to normal, Jiang Dongsheng probably wouldn't like Shen Zhi anymore.
He should be able to tell now that Shen Zhi's beating and scolding were wrong, and he should go back to the time when Shen Zhi beat him up and made him stupid, Qi Wenyan thought uncertainly.
It was indeed the time when Jiang Dongsheng became a fool. He was hit on the left cheek by Shen Zhi but still offered the right cheek, which left a huge shadow in Qi Wenyan's heart.
"Host, don't worry. Jiang Dongsheng will receive some of his previous memories in his sleep at night," the system gave Qi Wenyan a reassurance.
Qi Wenyan felt much more at ease.
"Host, remember to complete the mission," the system reminded.
Qi Wenyan has been taking care of Jiang Dongsheng these days, and there are basically no personal belongings of Jiang Dongsheng in the hospital. The growth of Qi Wenyan's accumulated points has stagnated.
Qi Wenyan looked at the prepared food and thought, "Xiao Zhi, I haven't eaten yet since I brought my brother back. It's a good opportunity for me to eat at your place."
Shen Zhi didn't want to respond to him and just nodded casually.
Shen Zhi couldn't cook, so he just made some random porridge. The most nutritious thing about it was the egg he cooked.
For some unknown reason, the eggshell cracked and the egg came out along the crack. Shen Zhi still put the egg in Yin Nan's bowl and said, "Eat an egg to replenish your body."
Yin Nan had tasted all kinds of delicacies in his life and didn't care about this egg.
Qi Wenyan was drinking porridge. Since he didn't know whether Jiang Dongsheng still liked Shen Zhi, he might as well give it a test.
"Brother, I haven't eaten eggs for a long time. If you don't want to eat them, just give them to me," Qi Wenyan remembered that he had asked Jiang Dongsheng for eggs as if he was asking for his life.
If Jiang Dongsheng really gave the egg to himself, wouldn't that mean that Jiang Dongsheng really didn't care about Shen Zhi anymore?
Yin Nan raised his eyelids and looked at Qi Wenyan, who was almost scheming but unaware of it. There was no smile in his eyes. He curled his lips and pushed it to Qi Wenyan, "You eat it."
Yin Nan watched Qi Wenyan happily take it, and his heart was cold. If he was willing to eat it, then eat as much as he could. If you wanted to snatch something from him, then you had to have the awareness to bear it.
Qi Wenyan, who had no idea what was going on, ate the eggs happily, especially when he saw Shen Zhi's pale face, he ate even more happily.
How would Shen Zhi have the face to show off in front of him in the future? Jiang Dongsheng, who listened to him the most, was now standing on his side. Qi Wenyan felt proud just thinking about it.
Qi Wenyan's eyes rolled around, and as the system prompt sounded "points plus two", Qi Wenyan stared at the vanishing cream on the bedside.
"Brother, I've been out selling wine lately and my skin is not in good condition," Qi Wenyan pointed at the four bottles of vanishing cream on the wooden cabinet, "Xiaozhi still has so much, just give me one bottle."
Yin Nan narrowed his eyes, looked at Qi Wenyan who had unknowingly stepped into danger, and replied gently: "Okay."
Qi Wenyan was overjoyed and reached out to take it, but was stopped by Shen Zhi, "Wait a moment."
Qi Wenyan took it and then looked at Shen Zhi, "Xiao Zhi is not happy?"
"Don't be a stingy person, Xiaozhi. I will repay you double in the future," Qi Wenyan said with the look of a smug villain.
Qi Wenyan pretended to educate Shen Zhi and said to Yin Nan, "Brother, Xiao Zhi couldn't bear to part with a bottle of vanishing cream. After all, it was you who bought it. Xiao Zhi is really too calculative."
Yin Nan tilted his head. Shen Zhi's cheeks were puffed up with anger. He even glared at him. Yin Nan suddenly laughed. This little guy has quite a temper.
Yin Nan pinched Shen Zhi's delicate white neck and said with a smile, "Don't be so stingy."
The obvious leaning towards him made Shen Zhi's face darken. He pulled Yin Nan's hand without saying a word and bit his fingertips. His sharp teeth pierced through his skin, and a drop of blood popped out.
On the contrary, Qi Wenyan could hardly hide his smile of success.
"Xiao Zhi, don't..." Qi Wenyan pretended to persuade him, "It's okay to hit big brother at ordinary times, but Xiao Zhi, how can you treat big brother like this when big brother is still not well?"
Yin Nan was not angry. He smeared the blood from his fingertips on Shen Zhi's lips, making the already sweet red lips even more beautiful, as beautiful as a bewitching monster.
"He is so dark, he should use it more. Why are you angry?" Yin Nan said leisurely.
Shen Zhi looked at Qi Wenyan's dark and iron-green face and couldn't help but chuckle. He realized that Yin Nan was deliberately making fun of Qi Wenyan.
Shen Zhi raised his chin arrogantly, and his smug look made Yin Nan's deep black pupils tinge with a faint smile.
It must be fun to raise such a beautiful little thing.
