Chapter 95 [VIP] Shadow Guard (9)

Nan Yan was pressed hard and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. She rubbed the back of her head which was hurt from the impact and glanced at Ye Qiuchen who was standing there in a daze.

I was immediately furious!

Why do these shadow guards like to be wooden stakes? They don't even come to help her. Are they stupid? She immediately glared at them angrily and depressed, "Why are you still standing here like an idiot? Why don't you come over and help me, and let's go together?"

Ye Qiuchen's body froze for a moment before he reacted. He quickly reached out and grasped the wrist that was extended to him. The soft touch made his palms sweat a little. He wiped his palms vigorously before daring to reach out. Then he carefully pulled the person up and looked at her with a slightly nervous look.

"Master... don't you blame me for offending you?"

The voice was hesitant and a little uneasy.

Nan Yan had barely stood up, but immediately lost her temper when she heard that. She turned her head to look at him, then let go and patted the dirt and grass debris off her body. She said nonchalantly, her voice muffled and somewhat helpless, "Alright, how can this be considered an offense? And why do you still care about these details at this time? I'm not the kind of vicious lady who specifically bullies little guards. The most important thing is that we quickly find a safe place to rest! Also, can you please stop thinking about such messy things all the time? I don't really blame you..."

"I understand..."

Ye Qiuchen's face turned slightly red when he heard this. He nodded honestly, then followed subconsciously.

But it was obvious that the poison in his body had not been eliminated yet. Just as he took a few steps, he felt a stuffy sensation in his chest. After a burst of stinging, some blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth uncontrollably, and then even his head felt dizzy.

Ye Qiuchen shook his head vigorously, but it didn't help. His whole body suddenly fell forward uncontrollably. If Nan Yan hadn't helped him in time, he would have fallen hard again.

"What's wrong? Is your chest hurting again?"

Nan Yan quickly stepped forward and held the man's shoulders, asking in an anxious tone.

At this moment, the two of them were very close to each other. Ye Qiuchen leaned half of his body against her. He could vaguely smell the light fragrance coming from her hair. His breathing instantly became lighter, for fear that someone would discover his abnormality.

"I am not in any serious trouble, so don't worry, Master..."

He said this, but his ears couldn't help but feel warm, and deep down he felt satisfied and happy because of Nan Yan's concern.

He was a typical hypocrite, and now he only felt an unprecedented joy spreading in his chest, which made him more satisfied than when he saw his enemy die with his own eyes.

This time, Nan Yan did not listen to his arrogant words. She simply supported Ye Qiuchen and returned to the small dilapidated temple where they had met before. They could not go back to the original farmyard. Who knows if there were any ambushes there?

Another thing is that they still don't know where Seventeen is, and don't know if he is injured? Anyway, after going around in circles, the two of them still returned to the same place.

The location of this dilapidated temple is naturally extremely remote, and it is some distance away from the farmyard. Moreover, due to long-term disrepair, a bunch of weeds and wild trees have grown around it, strictly obscuring the dilapidated temple. The safety problem has been temporarily solved, but I don’t know if Seventeen will come here to find them after he escapes from danger?

The two of them spent the night in the dilapidated temple. Fortunately, the fire starter that Ye Qiuchen brought with him was still usable, and Nan Yan picked up some dry wood nearby and lit it. After some effort, they finally managed to start the fire. By this time, Ye Qiuchen had fallen into a complete coma.

In the second half of the night, Ye Qiuchen's symptoms became more serious. Not sure if it was due to the poisoning, his whole body began to feel cold.

Such a tall creature was shivering due to the cold, but it curled up into a small ball, like a newborn wild animal cub that had lost its mother's care. It looked fragile and helpless, as if it would die if it wasn't careful.

Nan Yan immediately hugged him into her arms again, gently lifted his head and rested it on her shoulder. Perhaps feeling some warmth, Ye Qiuchen almost unconsciously hugged Nan Yan's waist tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a floating blade of grass, tightly wrapped around Nan Yan's waist, making her unable to move at all.

If he hadn't been still unconscious, Nan Yan really wanted to slap this guy a few times. He was obviously unconscious, but she didn't expect that he was still so strong. Her old waist was about to be broken by this guy's strength.

The two of them spent the second half of the night hugging each other. When Ye Qiuchen regained consciousness, it was already the next morning. He did not sleep very well last night, and in his coma he kept dreaming of some scenes in the past where he and his companions fought and struggled, and finally escaped from death with great difficulty. These memories made him fall into a nightmare, and it seemed that he could not escape no matter what.

Finally, in a trance he seemed to hear a very gentle voice, and in a daze he could also feel a soft and warm palm gently against his cheek, constantly comforting and coaxing him, saying things like "Don't be afraid, don't worry, everything is okay", and he didn't really calm down until the second half of the night.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the profile of his master who was sleeping peacefully. The two of them were very close to each other, so close that he could almost see the fine hairs on his master's face.

This made Ye Qiuchen stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He was actually leaning his whole body on his master's shoulder, with his head resting on her shoulder. This realization made his head a little dizzy. He wanted to hurry up, but was worried that too big a movement would alarm her, so his whole body seemed to be stiff, completely out of control and unable to move at all.

"Master... Master..."

Ye Qiuchen suddenly felt weak in the arms and legs and didn't know what to do. He didn't dare to touch her or move.

Nan Yan didn't hear his call, she was still sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Ye Qiuchen subconsciously slowed down his breathing.

Her eyelashes moved slightly, fearing that she would accidentally wake her up and break this hard-earned beautiful and quiet moment.

Wait until your breathing slows down.

Ye Qiuchen blinked her eyes then, staring at her master's profile without blinking. She slept uncomfortably against the stone statue, her thin eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her lips were not as bright and rosy as yesterday, especially when the mottled light fell on her face, her cheeks were as white as porcelain, and her black hair hung down in front of her chest.

Seeing Nan Yan so gentle and soft, Ye Qiu subconsciously held his breath. Suddenly, a very strange impulse surged in his heart, making him stretch out his hand unconsciously, then carefully lean over and gently touch her lips.

At this moment, the corners of Nan Yan's mouth seemed to move unconsciously, and Ye Qiuchen became nervous and quickly retracted his hand.

The soft and slightly dry touch made his throat itch. Ye Qiuchen's throat rolled subconsciously for a moment, and an extremely strange and soft emotion spread in his chest, making him want to get closer, closer...

Ye Qiuchen even felt that he was a little crazy at this moment. Why did he think that such a master was unpopular? Why did he feel annoyed? Why did he feel that she was no different from those people in Qixia Villa?

Obviously, they are not the same at all...

Ye Qiu sat up straight slowly. He was not short to begin with, but he looked particularly cramped when he was curled up leaning on her shoulder. Now that he was sitting straight, he looked especially tall. With a put of his arms, he could easily hold her in his arms.

Although the noise was not loud, Nan Yan was still accidentally awakened. She moaned twice and opened her eyes dazedly, then subconsciously reached out and patted his chest, mumbling in a daze, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here..."

When Ye Qiuchen called out uncomfortably, "Master."

Nan Yan finally came to her senses. She blinked her eyes, her mind was a little confused when she saw the devastated scene in front of her, and then she looked at Ye Qiuchen beside her.

Seeing that his complexion had almost recovered, Nan Yan smiled again, then subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead, and checked the wound on his shoulder. After making sure that there was no problem, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, you finally don't have a fever, and the wound doesn't seem to be bleeding anymore, so you've recovered well. But you can't touch cold water anymore. You didn't pay attention yesterday and touched the dirty river water, so you had a fever in the middle of the night..."

She muttered to herself for a long time, and checked his whole body over and over again. Although her eyes were full of concern and worry, there was no other thought mixed in.

But Ye Qiuchen's face still turned red in an instant, and his heart was beating uncontrollably. He turned his face away uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, with a bit of hoarseness after waking up, "I... I'm fine now. Thank you for taking care of me last night."

Nan Yan suddenly smiled, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled sincerely. Then she reached out and tapped his head, saying jokingly, "What's the big deal? I'm your master. I have the obligation to take care of you when you're sick."

"Besides, you got hurt to protect me. How could I just abandon you?"

At this moment, those clear eyes were reflecting his uncomfortable look, and all he could see was his figure.

Ye Qiu's heart seemed to have missed a beat. He blinked, and when he was about to say something else, there was a sudden noise at the door.

They both looked up at the same time.

Ye Qiuchen's face changed slightly. After he reacted, he almost subconsciously held Nan Yan behind him. At the same time, he stared at the wooden door warily, worried that the people coming were the same ones from yesterday.

But this time it was clearly not the case.

The broken door was pushed open, and the person standing at the door was Ying Shiqi. Ye Qiuchen's eyes showed some surprise, he didn't expect him to come so quickly. He let down his guard and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qiuchen was about to say hello to him, but before he could say anything, Nan Yan, who was hiding behind him, had already rushed over. She almost subconsciously threw herself into his arms, grabbed the corner of Ying Shiqi's clothes with both hands, and then buried her head in his chest, her voice aggrieved and almost crying, "Why did you come just now? Don't you know I have been waiting for you for a long time? I was almost worried to death. When I was most scared, you were not with me..."

Nan Yan really cried, and she felt particularly aggrieved.

Tears fell one by one down my cheeks.

She looked extremely aggrieved, and her nose was red from crying, as if she had finally found some kind of home, and wanted to vent all the depression, worry and fear in her heart for the past two days. She hugged Seventeen's neck and cried extremely sadly.

Ying Shiqi was not in a good condition at the moment. His face was dirty and he had some external injuries. His clothes were covered with dried blood, some of which had already scabbed over. Only his eyes were still bright. However, the strength with which he embraced Nan Yan was no less than hers. He used almost all his strength to hold the person in front of him tightly in his arms, gently rubbing his chin against her forehead. When he saw her crying, he carefully wiped her tears with his fingers.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's my fault..."

He should not have walked away alone in a rage that day. It was only after he left the yard that he realized something was wrong around him. Not only did his hands and feet feel weak and he couldn't muster up his internal strength, he was also surrounded by a group of black-clad killers. Fortunately, the poison he had been infected with was not serious, but it still took him a lot of effort to get rid of the group of people, and then he fainted from exhaustion.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to return to the yard, but there was no one in the yard, the yard was burned to pieces, and a dead body was lying in the house.

Ying Shiqi also found a piece of torn cloth in the corpse's hand. After a quick identification, he realized that it was from Nan Yan's skirt. He suddenly became so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Afterwards, he followed the traces on the road and found this small temple, and then he found the two people. Fortunately, she was fine. Seventeen looked at Nan Yan from head to toe and found that except for her pale face, she had no obvious external injuries on her body, so she should be fine.

At this moment, Ye Qiuchen had been ignored by the two of them.

Ye Qiuchen's gaze subconsciously fell on Nan Yan's face. He suddenly felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart, as if something was blocking his throat. He couldn't say a word of what he was about to say.

Nan Yan was obviously very calm and composed in front of him. Even when she faced the killer and was extremely scared, she did not shed a tear. But in front of Seventeen, she became completely different.

It seemed as if the only person she depended on from beginning to end was Ying Shiqi, and only in front of him would she reveal her vulnerable and aggrieved side.

Ye Qiuchen rubbed his chest, not knowing whether it was because he was injured too badly, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable there, especially when he saw her throwing herself into Seventeen's arms. The sight of the two of them hugging each other, inseparable, was particularly unsightly.

But the two people at the door were obviously unaware of it. Nan Yan listened to him speaking in that clumsy tone and became so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She kept repeating those two coaxing words in her mouth and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

She tiptoed gently, put her arms around his neck, and buried her head in the crook of his neck, her voice muffled, "Seventeen, please don't leave me alone in the future, okay? When you were not here that day, I was really scared, afraid that I would never see you again..."

As she spoke, she seemed to recall the emergency situation at that time, and tears came out unconsciously again.

Seventeen felt something wet and hot on her neck, which made him touch the back of her head subconsciously.

This was probably the first time that Seventeen had been so patient in coaxing someone, but he was always tongue-tied and couldn't come up with anything fancy or sweet to say, so he could only use his arms and legs to hold her in his arms.

"No..."

"I will never leave you again."

"It was my fault before. I won't do it again. Never again..."

As he spoke, he gently patted her back to soothe her. Nan Yan seemed to be comforted. She hummed softly and stepped back a little. Her eyes met his and fell straight on his lips.

Unfortunately, this guy is just a blockhead and didn't understand her hint at all. It's impossible to expect him to take the initiative. Can't you see that the atmosphere is so suitable now? As long as he lowers his head, he can kiss her lips, but this guy just doesn't understand what she means. He blinked in confusion, then lowered his head and rubbed her forehead affectionately with his chin, thinking that she likes this. What's the difference between this and a big dog asking for pets?

No, it should be that dogs are more proactive than him!

Nan Yan pursed her lips and snorted in her heart. Since he was unwilling to take the initiative, she had to do it. Just as she was standing on tiptoe and was about to move over to kiss the other's lips.

There was a bang.

Suddenly, there was a sound of tiles breaking behind me.

The two people at the door were immediately startled by the noise. It was only then that Nan Yan remembered that there was someone behind her. She quickly stepped out of Seventeen's arms and pretended nothing had happened.

"I almost forgot, Qiu Chen is still in there." Nan Yan's original intention to greet her family was interrupted by the noise. Her cheeks suddenly turned slightly red and she looked at him embarrassedly.

She reached out and gently tugged at Shiqi's collar, deliberately changing the subject, "Qiu Chen was seriously injured yesterday while protecting me. He was also poisoned. I stayed with him all night until he woke up. You should go and see him."

Upon hearing this, Seventeen hummed in a muffled voice.

He was just a little slow in emotions, but he was not really a fool. When Nan Yan came over to him just now, she obviously wanted to do something, but was interrupted.

Then I heard her call Ye Qiuchen's name several times in such an intimate way, and I felt even more unhappy.

He had not forgotten that the reason he left that day was because of him. He even thought in his heart that it would be better if he was poisoned. If his master had not been picking food for him all day without even looking at him, he would not have been poisoned the most seriously.

Well...you deserve it.
