Chapter 36 I'm in love with you
"I, I went to bed. It was too dark to see." Chen Yu explained stutteringly.
Because she felt that she was pressing on Xie Tingzhou's body just now, but she didn't know where exactly.
There was a rustling sound in the darkness.
Xie Tingzhou stood up from the bed and said in a cold voice, "Go in."
Chen Yu hurriedly groped her way onto the bed and lay down with her clothes on. She recalled the feeling just now and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Although the feeling was a little vague through the quilt, she was sure that what she had pressed was not Xie Tingzhou's chest.
Where would that be?
I didn’t sleep well last night, and now I was too sleepy to overcome my fatigue. Chen Yu fell asleep while thinking.
Xie Tingzhou was woken up by the woman outside who was speaking in a particularly loud voice.
For some reason, he slept particularly well these two nights. It had been a long time since he had such a sound sleep.
Chen Yu sat at the table with her back to the bed, one arm resting on the table, fiddling with something, and from time to time she could hear a slight gasp.
"What are you doing?" Xie Tingzhou stood up and asked.
Chen Yu suddenly turned around and looked at him like a frightened deer, her eyes were watery, as if filled with a clear spring, and there was a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.
Xie Tingzhou's heart suddenly trembled inexplicably. Before he had time to figure out what that strange feeling was, Shi Yu had already turned his head away quickly.
Xie Tingzhou put on his outer robe and walked over, finally seeing clearly what she was doing.
There were several hideous wounds on his arms, and judging from the wounds, they were probably caused by wild beasts.
"Did you encounter any wild beasts on the road yesterday?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
The powder was sprinkled on the wound, and Shen Yu was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
In the past, when she was hurt, she would whimper and cry out in pain, and she could act like a spoiled child with her father and brother. After her father and brother passed away in her previous life, she learned to grit her teeth and endure it no matter how hard or difficult it was.
After a long pause, Chen Yu finally spoke, "It was a leopard. I wouldn't have been hurt, but I squatted on it for too long, and it was cold so my reaction was a little slow. But in the end, I managed to kill it."
"You went hunting?"
Chen Yu blew gently on the wound several times in pain, "I asked my grandfather yesterday, there are ferocious beasts in the mountains. I'm lucky today. Leopard skin is valuable, otherwise I can't exchange it for so much silver."
Xie Tingzhou looked at the clothes on his body, not knowing what to feel.
He parted his lips,
Just as I was about to speak, I heard the woman outside the door suddenly ask a question while chatting.
"Uncle Zheng, I heard from Zhao Shun's wife that you have guests coming to your house?"
The two of them stopped at the same time and looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Chen Yu had already dodged over and pulled out the knife hidden under the bed.
Xie Tingzhou held his shoulders, shook his head at him, turned his head to look at the door, and heard the old man outside say:
"He is a distant relative of mine. He came to visit during the New Year."
They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at the knife in Shi Yu's hand and said calmly, "You wanted to silence me just now?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Yu looked at him in confusion, "I was planning to run away."
"Then what are you doing with the knife?"
Chen Yu touched the knife lovingly, "It would be a pity to throw away such a good knife."
I couldn’t bear to throw it away even though I was almost drowning in the water, so I can’t leave it behind here.
Outside the house, the woman was cracking a handful of pumpkin seeds and looking inside curiously.
"Call him out to identify him. Zhao Shun's wife passed by your house yesterday and went back to talk about it for a whole day. She said that your relative is very handsome. She has never seen such a good-looking person in her life. She couldn't even walk at that time."
Uncle Zheng smiled and declined, "They are shy and haven't woken up yet."
The woman leaned against the bamboo frame and said, "I'm just curious about what the thing that can make people unable to walk looks like. Zhao Shun's family said it looks like the Bodhisattva in the temple."
Chen Yu thought of the square-headed and wide-eared Bodhisattva in the temple, and then looked at Xie Tingzhou's handsome face, but she really couldn't connect the two.
Xie Tingzhou noticed whether Shi Yu was about to laugh or not, gave him a warning look, lifted his skirt and sat down beside him.
"hand."
Shen Yu saw that he wanted to bandage her wound, so she didn't refuse. She put her arm on the table and handed him the gauze.
The hands had distinct joints and slender fingers, as if they had been carefully carved. He did things slowly and steadily. The gauze in his hands seemed no longer gauze, but finest shark gauze worth hundreds of gold.
The coarse linen clothes could not hide his noble air at all.
Chen Yu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that children raised in royal families are different.
Two words: rich!
Looking at herself again, she was raised with pearls and jades by the richest family in Hezhou, Lu family. Now she looked like a beggar.
Bag
After the injection, the chat outside was not over yet. The woman didn't seem to be ready to leave and kept talking.
"Is your nephew married?"
"How many people are there in your family? How many acres of land do you have?"
Uncle Zheng was annoyed by her questions, but he still tried to deal with her patiently.
The people outside didn't leave. Chen Yu was rubbing her skin and itching, feeling uneasy and walking back and forth in the small room.
Xie Tingzhou was annoyed and looked up at him, "What are you doing?"
Shen Yu said with difficulty: "I want to... go to the toilet."
Xie Tingzhou said, "You go ahead."
"I can still bear it a little longer." Chen Yu pursed her lips and said.
If I go out, I will definitely be seen by that woman, which undoubtedly increases the possibility of being exposed.
Xie Tingzhou stopped talking. After a while, he looked at Shi Yu's face, which was about to be deformed, and said jokingly, "Can you still bear it?"
Chen Yu didn't dare to speak. She was holding back her energy and was afraid that she would lose her temper as soon as she opened her mouth. She could only shake her head seriously.
Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "Why don't you go now?"
Chen Yu opened the door and ran away like the wind, as if she had been pardoned.
The woman was trying her best to persuade Uncle Zheng to call his nephew out to see her. She also wanted to see what a living Bodhisattva looked like.
"Uncle Zheng, you are too stingy. Look, it's not like you'll lose two taels, eh——"
The woman stood up straight, pointed at Chen Yu who rushed out of the room and said, "That's your nephew, right? Oh my, he is really handsome, like a Bodhisattva."
I thank you.
Chen Yu was in a hurry and had no time to talk, so she quickly ran to the toilet behind the house.
The woman looked excited, and even when the figure disappeared, she was still looking around, "Has your nephew married yet?"
Then he shook his head again, "No, no, she's prettier than my Xiuniang, or..."
The woman suddenly opened her mouth, staring in amazement at the person who came out of the room, and the pumpkin seeds in her hand fell to the ground.
"This, this, this..." The woman couldn't speak clearly, "This must be a god."
Xie Tingzhou stood at the door and swept his sharp and cold gaze over. The woman immediately felt her legs go weak.
When Chen Yu came back from the toilet, she saw a woman who looked to be in her forties, leaning against the fence and standing blankly in the direction of Xie Tingzhou, with a blush gradually appearing on her face.
Very good, Chen Yu thought, this means he has taken a liking to Xie Tingzhou.
She might be older than Xie Tingzhou's mother, Princess Beilin.
