Chapter 68 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord
Jiang Nian saw how Shen Zhi relied on his elder brother. He should give up, but...
He didn't want to give up so easily. His elder brother took good care of Shen Zhi before he lost his memory. He had no power to fight for it. But now Shen Zhicheng took on all the responsibilities and struggled to support the family. Jiang Nian thought that he should fight for it.
At least being with him, Shen Zhi won't have to work so hard anymore.
"Brother, Xiao Zhi is not suitable for such tiring farm work," Jiang Nian moved his lips and looked worriedly at Shen Zhi who was lying in Yin Nan's arms, frowning in pain.
Yin Nan's eyes were deep. No one is born unsuitable to do something. Everyone will bear what fate has given them, even if it is suffering.
Yin Nan lowered his eyes, Shen Zhi closed his eyes tightly, his thin eyebrows were twisted together uncomfortably, his red lips were no longer moist as before he went out, they were dry and flaky, and his thin skin showed signs of burns.
She looks so pitiful, which makes people feel an inexplicable pain. Yin Nan's lip lines are flattened. Maybe some people are really born to be surrounded by flowers and stars.
Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Nian realized that given his current relationship with Shen Zhi, he had no right to say anything, so he left.
"Shen Zhi," Yin Nan said in a low voice, pressing the wet corners of his eyes with his dry fingertips. The energy in his body was input into Shen Zhi's body bit by bit, and the cool spiritual power roamed through Shen Zhi's limbs to drive away the heat for him.
Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and Yin Nan knew that Shen Zhi had woken up, but Shen Zhi still refused to close his eyes.
Shen Zhi was unwilling to face him, and this realization appeared clearly in Yin Nan's mind.
Do you care so much about a fool? Fools should be despised. They don't deserve anyone's sympathy, even a little bit, let alone love.
Yin Nan doesn't understand Shen Zhi, and Shen Zhi doesn't understand himself either.
"Let's eat," Yin Nan felt so depressed and annoyed at the feeling in his chest. He subconsciously ignored this feeling that he had never had before.
Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes when the temperature beside him suddenly disappeared. Yin Nan didn't see him setting the table, which made Shen Zhi breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't explain how he felt about Jiang Dongsheng, who had returned to normal.
Inexplicable alienation.
Shen Zhi held the porridge handed over by Yin Nan and sipped it in small sips. The fragrant and sticky rice went down his throat and into his stomach. He felt indescribably comfortable and relaxed. Shen Zhi was completely attracted by the porridge.
"You did it?" Shen Zhi looked at Yin Nan with a questioning look.
Yin Nan nodded. He used his spiritual power to endure it, so it could be considered as his doing.
Shen Zhi looked at Yin Nan suspiciously, and leaned over to sniff Yin Nan's chest like a little animal. Yin Nan tightened his jawline and said in a harsh voice, "What are you doing now?"
Shen Zhi suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing a look of realization, and then he mercilessly exposed Yin Nan, "You don't smell like cigarettes at all, and you didn't cook this meal at all."
"You just want to please me by claiming that the meal your mother cooked was your own, and then continue to avoid work and let me do the work all the time, right?" Shen Zhi felt that he had discovered the truth.
Yin Nan raised the corners of his mouth with a forced smile. He really shouldn't have had any hope in this idiot.
Want to please him? Dream on! How could a great demon king be so humble to him?
Yin Nan gritted his teeth and denied: "No."
Shen Zhi still didn't believe it, "Of course it is. You always lied to me, and now you are furious after being exposed by me."
Yin Nan was so angry at the unreasonable Shen Zhi that he became speechless. How could someone accuse someone just because of his smell?
"So what do you want?" Yin Nan looked at him coldly.
Shen Zhi was not afraid at all, and looked at him proudly. He didn't care about the glares that might make him angry.
Shen Zhi gestured with his slender white fingers on the ground and said unashamedly: "Of course you are the one who does the work, otherwise you would still have to rely on your wife!"
The fragmented sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, shining onto Shen Zhi's long, curled eyelashes, casting a hint of golden light. Her beautiful eyes were clear and pure, and with her chin slightly raised, a haughty and proud expression leaped out.
It doesn't make people feel any blame at all. Instead, it feels like a soft cat's paw is pressing on the heart, making it itchy.
Yin Nan has been recuperating at home during this period of time. His overly burly figure has gradually become strong and sturdy, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His body is covered only with muscles that contain absolute strength. His three-dimensional thin face is imbued with the aura of the Demon Lord, which is somewhat evil and intimidating.
Yin Nan grabbed Shen Zhi's chin, curled his thin lips slightly, and slowly approached him, blowing his breath filled with strong male hormones onto Shen Zhi's face.
Shen Zhi's eyes flickered, and when Yin Nan approached him forcefully, his pupils immediately became misty. Shen Zhi didn't dare to look into Yin Nan's dark eyes, and clung weakly to Yin Nan's arm.
The cool and soft palm pressed against Yin Nan's forearm. Yin Nan brushed Shen Zhi's wet and trembling eyelashes, and a humming laugh escaped from his lips.
It looks much more obedient and pleasing this way.
Shen Zhi's legs felt a little weak, and his nails turned pink from the force. Shen Zhi was inspired by Yin Nan's ridicule, and he tried to hold on, stammering, "Am I wrong?"
Yin Nan felt the smooth touch of his fingertips, and all the previous anger disappeared. He raised his eyebrows and lips and said in agreement: "You are right."
Before Shen Zhi could be happy, Yin Nan suddenly approached Shen Zhi, his hot breath sprayed on Shen Zhi's white jade-like ears, his deep and magnetic voice was like elegant orchestral music, and he said with a smile: "How can what my wife said be wrong?"
"Bang!" Shen Zhi's ears turned completely red.
Yin Nan stared at the pink tip of Shen Zhi's ear without blinking, and flicked it with his fingers to make it even redder, and said wickedly: "Then I'll go help my wife farm, ok?"
"Roll, roll, roll," Shen Zhi covered his hot ears and turned his head away, unwilling to look at him again.
Yin Nan had experience working in the fields, so he found it easy to handle the hoe. As the hoe fell, the lines of his back stretched and the tight muscles on his arms bulged, exposed to the sun.
Fine beads of sweat ran across the man's superior shoulders and neck and sank into his collar. When he bent over, the view inside was clearly visible, and the sweat beads flowed along his full chest muscles to his well-defined abdominal muscles.
The solid muscles glow with a bronze sheen in the sunlight, and at first glance, the body filled with masculine charm is extremely alluring.
Shen Zhi watched Yin Nan's movements, which slowly overlapped with those of Jiang Dongsheng before.
The familiar movements made Shen Zhi happy. Jiang Dongsheng had not changed, he just couldn't remember him.
Shen Zhi didn't know how long he had been watching before he fell asleep again leaning against the tree.
The sunset filled the sky, and the orange-yellow light complemented it, making the sky intoxicatingly beautiful.
After finishing his work, Yin Nan walked under the tree, pinched the lazy man's nose, and watched him breathe hazily with his mouth open.
Shen Zhi opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that familiar face, he closed them naturally again. He stretched out his weak arms and groaned, "I'm so tired, can you carry me back, please?"
It has a long tail, like being coquettish.
Shen Zhiju couldn't let it go for a long time. Jiang Dongsheng couldn't refuse his request, but the person in front of him was Yin Nan.
Yin Nan silently looked at Shen Zhi who stretched out his arms with a dependent look on his face. This situation was more like a stalemate.
What matters is not patience, but compromise.
"There won't be a next time." Yin Nan carried Shen Zhi on his back. Shen Zhi, feeling sleepy as before, fell into a dream again in a daze.
Yin Nan walked very steadily, step by step. The person on his back seemed to be very sleepy and was snoring faintly.
Yin Nan held Shen Zhi's knee and sneered, "Pig."
He can eat and sleep, but complains of being tired no matter what he does. He is just a pig.
Perhaps Yin Nan's sarcasm was too loud and woke Shen Zhi up, but it seemed that he was not completely awake.
Shen Zhi rested his head on Yin Nan's broad back, as if he was back to the days when Jiang Dongsheng carried him home. The familiarity of the matter almost brought him to tears.
They were one person, and Shen Zhi was happy about this fact because it meant that he had not lost Jiang Dongsheng.
Shen Zhi wrapped his soft arms around Yin Nan's neck, buried his face in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Be good to me in the future, cherish me, and don't bully me anymore."
Yin Nan continued walking, as if he didn't hear Shen Zhi's words.
Shen Zhi was a little angry when he saw that he ignored him. He put his arms around Yin Nan's neck and squeezed him tightly. He felt the man's unsteady steps and spoke softly, "Did you hear me, Jiang Dongsheng?"
Yin Nan staggered, then regained his steps. He felt like laughing, laughing at Shen Zhi for still using these childish tricks like a child, laughing at Shen Zhi's request being so boring that no one would take his request as an oath.
But Yin Nan couldn't laugh, so he could only remain silent.
Because Shen Zhi was talking to that fool, and that fool would unconditionally agree to all of Shen Zhi's requests.
But Yin Nan is not that fool.
Shen Zhichi didn't hear a reply, and he struggled on Yin Nan's back in dissatisfaction, grabbing his ears and angrily said: "I am your wife, you should treat me well."
What an unreasonable statement.
Yin Nan's ears were being pulled, and Shen Zhi's voice was not loud but was enough to penetrate the eardrum.
Yin Nan's heartstrings tensed, and he uttered a low "hmm", which sounded like a promise but also like a perfunctory response.
The voice was so soft that it could not be heard clearly, but Shen Zhi heard it clearly. Shen Zhi, who had been promised, continued to lie softly on Yin Nan's back and hugged his neck affectionately.
He is Jiang Dongsheng, and only Jiang Dongsheng would agree to him.
Shen Zhi stepped forward, kissed Yin Nan's ear, and waited obediently for Yin Nan to carry him back.
Yin Nan felt a flash of moist heat in his ears, which was fleeting. Yin Nan moved his ears unconsciously and walked into the darkness.
Shen Zhi became more energetic after returning. He couldn't wait to see the effect of Yin Nan's promise.
"You go cook, I'm hungry," Shen Zhi sat on the edge of the kang, his two thin legs swinging back and forth, his fingers pointed and his angry expression made people want to beat him up.
A dark light flashed across Yin Nan's eyes, and he uttered "Shen...", but was interrupted just before he could utter a word from between his teeth.
What does it mean to push the limit? Shen Zhi is very good at it.
Shen Zhi clasped his hands together, blinked his eyes, and said pitifully: "I'm really hungry, please do it again, I still want to eat eggs."
Yin Nan: ...
Yin Nan slammed the door and walked out, closing it with a loud bang. Shen Zhimei lay on the kang happily, listening to Yin Nan going to the kitchen and puffing on the bellows.
Isn't this still done?
More than half an hour later, Yin Nan brought the meal to the table with a dark face, "Eat. If you can't finish it, I will grind you to dust!"
"Tsk," Shen Zhicai didn't believe it.
Shen Zhi eats happily. He doesn't have to cook. He is happy eating anything.
"Why don't you eat?" Shen Zhi asked Yin Nan who was sitting in front of him while chewing on a steamed bun.
Yin Nan's consciousness shrank under his fingers, he turned away his eyes and said coldly, "I'm not hungry."
Shen Zhi was holding a steamed bun in his mouth. Suddenly he thought of something and grabbed Yin Nan's hand. Yin Nan's fingers were covered with marks of burns.
Shen Zhi frowned and asked in shock: "Are you stupid?"
He was a spoiled little boy, and he didn't get burned by the fire the first time he cooked. How could this be considered returning to normal? This was even more stupid.
Yin Nan narrowed his eyes fiercely and spoke word by word: "What did you say?"
No one dared to call the Demon Lord who killed people without blinking an eye a fool, and Shen Zhi didn't know who the real fool was? !
Shen Zhisi didn't notice Yin Nan's anger at all and continued to attack: "You are an idiot, a big idiot."
Shen Zhi didn't look at Yin Nan's expression. He turned around and rummaged through the drawers to find the burn ointment, and carefully applied it to Yin Nan.
"Three-year-old children know that they can't play with fire. How could you, an adult, secretly play with fire while cooking?" Shen Zhi scolded incessantly.
Yin Nan felt angry, but the cool touch on his fingers wiped it away. Yin Nan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Zhi's cautious expression. He didn't play with fire. He was just afraid of fire and was accidentally burned by it.
Shen Zhi applied burn ointment to Yin Nan, then went downstairs to wash his hands and continue eating.
There were two eggs in the bowl. Since Yin Nan came back, Shen Zhi rarely saw two eggs produced every day.
Sure enough, chickens are cooked according to the person they are served. Shen Zhi peeled the egg and took a big bite.
"Is it delicious?" Yin Nan asked casually.
Shen Zhi nodded. Eggs all taste the same.
When Shen Zhi peeled the second piece, a big bird flew in from the window, pecked at the window glass madly, and cried hoarsely, which startled Shen Zhi and choked him.
Yin Nanyun glanced at it calmly and then looked away, "Don't worry about it, it can't get in. If it tastes good, just eat more."
Shen Zhi thought so too and turned his head quickly. The bird was so ugly that Shen Zhi took a bite of its egg to suppress his surprise.
The hoarse and unpleasant bird voice cursed wildly in a language that Shen Zhi could not understand: "Yin Nan, you are not a human being. You forced me to lay eggs just to satisfy this man's appetite. How can you be so shameless!"
"You're a pervert who forces a bird to lay eggs. Haha! Haha! You're a pervert!"
Yin Nan closed his eyes and served the remaining porridge in the bowl to Shen Zhi.
Chickens can lay eggs, so why can't birds? They can also fall in love, so what's wrong with laying eggs?
