Chapter 32: Begging so humbly, so touching
Yan Shu sat in front of the dressing table, her soft, thick black hair draped like clouds down to her waist.
The lotus flowers beside her ears are bright and beautiful, making her pink and white face even more charming and eye-catching.
Facing the bright bronze mirror, Yan Shu applied some bright red lipstick, her moist almond eyes misted with tears, and she didn't let go until her lips were stained with an exceptionally rosy color.
Since Xiao Yu still has feelings for her body, she must be aware of the fact that she is using her beauty to please him.
After applying lip balm, the girl picked up the sandalwood comb on the dressing table and carefully combed her hair.
After combing her hair for nearly ten times, she finally heard the voice of the monks outside the hall.
Yan Shu paused slightly with the comb in her hand, and instinctively wanted to stand up and salute, but as soon as she took a step, she heard the crisp sound of chains colliding at her ankles.
The girl froze for a moment, looked down at the thin chain around her wrist, and was slightly dazed, immediately giving up the intention of greeting.
And Xiao Yu also entered the inner hall at this time.
The bright candlelight made the delicate girl's face blush slightly, but when her dark almond-shaped eyes looked at him, there was suddenly a hint of fear.
Seeing Xiao Yu's appearance clearly, Yan Shu's heart suddenly hung in the air, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
What a horrible sight.
The handsome face as pale as paper, the dark and cold eyes, and the traces of blood on the thin red lips all indicate that Xiao Yu is in an abnormal state at this time.
And this scene was exactly the same as what she had seen in his yard that year!
Yan Shu looked at the blood at the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth, and thought of his horrible appearance when he drank snake blood raw. Her heart suddenly started beating wildly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
And every time she took a step back, Xiao Yu would move closer to her.
Until Yan Shu retreated to the bunk bed with nowhere to retreat, and when she wanted to turn around and escape elsewhere, Xiao Yu grabbed her wrist and pressed her on the couch, making her unable to move at all.
"Shushu, are you afraid of me?" Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, the dark part of his eyes was slightly covered by his long eyelashes, and the light in his eyes flickered in the swaying candlelight.
Hearing his unclear tone and the cold, slender hand clamped on her wrist, Yan Shu couldn't help but shiver.
The Xiao Yu in front of her was more abnormal than any other time she had seen him before.
It's like a ghost, making people feel scared when they see it.
Sensing the extremely cold aura coming from him, Yan Shu began to feel fearful.
"The king is ill, why don't you call the physician?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyelids slightly lifted, revealing his dark pupils, like those of some kind of beast, cold and bloodthirsty.
"Sick?" He seemed to sneer, then pinched the girl's chin, and his handsome face suddenly moved closer.
"Didn't Shushu see me like this six years ago?"
Xiao Yu looked down at her, his voice so cold that it made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Yan Shu was completely shocked after hearing this.
Xiao Yu knows?
Xiao Yu actually knew that she had seen him drinking raw snake blood that year!
Yan Shu couldn't help but tremble in her voice, a little bit unbelievable: "That day, that day, did you know I was here?"
Xiao Yu lowered his face, pressed his thin red lips against the girl's ear, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his throat.
"Of course I know. Shushu came to me to fly a kite that day, right?"
Yan Shu looked up in panic, horror in her eyes: "So you...you did it on purpose that day!"
I deliberately let her see that look and made her run away in fear.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, and the dark color in his dark eyes became darker. His slender fingertips gently touched the girl's earlobe, causing her body to tremble slightly.
"I thought Shushu would be different from others."
She approached him so actively, and tugged at his clothes all day long, calling him Brother Xiao Xun. She was so innocent and bright, how could he not want to have her all to himself.
At that time, Xiao Yu wanted to know, if his Shushu knew his worst appearance, would she still follow him so sweetly and innocently every day?
So he lured her to spy on him and deliberately let her see his horrible appearance.
He wanted her to accept everything about him, even his worst self.
Unfortunately, he lost the bet.
His Shushu, like everyone else, was afraid of him, terrified of him, and even disgusted with him since that day.
Xiao Yu didn't understand why his Shushu disliked him so easily.
Wasn't it she who approached him in the beginning?
So for the first time in his fourteen years of life, Xiao Yu felt unwilling to accept his fate.
He never cared whether others feared or hated him.
But Shushu couldn’t do that. How could his Shushu leave him?
But she just threw him away cruelly. She was so disgusted with him that she pushed him into the snake cave, and was even disappointed that he did not die in the snake cave.
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened and his heart ached slightly.
Then, as if whispering, or clinging to her, he twisted the girl's earlobe with his long fingers, wanting to kiss her but not wanting to, "I thought Shushu would be different from others..."
A cold breath entered her ears, and the same words were heard again, which frightened Yan Shu.
She didn't know why Xiao Yu looked like this.
In other words, Yan Shu didn't know why Xiao Yu drank snake blood like a beast six years ago.
She didn't dare to resist at this moment, and she didn't even dare to refute Xiao Yu's words.
She was afraid that if she provoked Xiao Yu, she would be the next to die.
So Yan Shu could only explain in a trembling voice, trying to awaken a few traces of his rationality.
"I know I was wrong now... I shouldn't have lied to you about losing your hairpin. I was just too scared at the time, and I didn't mean to push you into the snake cave. I went to find someone to rescue you, but when I brought them back, there was no one in the snake cave. I thought you had..."
The girl choked as she spoke, not knowing whether out of shock or regret, as tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks.
Of course, what Yan Shu said was not false. Even though she was afraid of Xiao Yu back then, she never had the intention to kill him.
Now, no matter whether Xiao Yu believes it or not, Yan Shu just wants Xiao Yu to know that she did not intend to hurt him back then.
Looking at Yan Shu's tearful face, the young king paused slightly on the girl's earlobe.
He then moved his long fingers to her cheek and gently wiped away the tears.
"How could Shushu be wrong?" Xiao Yu chuckled, but there was a dense haze in his eyes.
How could his Shushu be wrong? She just wanted to get rid of this monster.
Hearing those words with unclear emotions and seeing his half-smiling eyes, Yan Shu felt a little uneasy.
So she raised her head, reached out and grabbed the collar of his shirt, and almost begged with tears in her eyes.
"I really know I was wrong. Your Majesty, can you still be as you were before?"
Yan Shu looked at Xiao Yu's almost crazy appearance and just hoped that he would return to normal soon.
But Xiao Yu smiled with his eyes curved. He lowered his head, and gently brushed his cold thin lips against the girl's cheek, his clear voice chilling.
"not good."
Hearing his straightforward rejection, Yan Shu's pupils trembled and warm tears suddenly filled her eyes, but before they fell, they were all kissed away by him.
In fact, Xiao Yu doesn't mind keeping up that false and gentle appearance to continue to coax his Shushu to like him.
But it's too late now.
No matter how well he pretends, his Shushu will no longer like him.
If that's the case, why should he pretend anymore?
At least if she is trapped like this now, his Shushu will never have a chance to escape.
His cold kiss fell on her eyelids. Xiao Yu seemed to be clinging to her with affection, which made Yan Shu's eyelashes tremble. She no longer resisted and seemed to have accepted her fate.
Since she has no possibility of escape now, she must use this body that Xiao Yu still cherishes to find a chance for Qingtao to survive.
After all, this was the reason why she took the initiative to meet Xiao Yu today.
So after Xiao Yushun wiped the last tear from her cheek, the girl opened her eyes and spoke in a tone that sounded like pleading.
"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want to me. I only ask you to spare Qingtao's life. After all, it was I who harmed your Majesty. Qingtao has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, Yan Shu took the man's cold hand and gently lifted it up to her warm cheek. Enduring the icy chill, she raised her bright autumn eyes and looked over at him seductively.
"If Your Majesty is willing to let Qing Tao go, I will be willing to do anything in the future."
So humble, so touching, without any of the resentment that cursed him that morning.
But all this was just for someone who had nothing to do with him.
A surge of jealousy suddenly arose in Xiao Yu's heart.
He was jealous of the palace maid named Qingtao, jealous that she was valued so much by Yan Shu.
Why can’t his Shushu be like him, with only him in her eyes and heart?
His heart, which was already feeling like it was being gnawed by thousands of insects, was now in even greater pain due to jealousy. Xiao Yu frowned, and his pale face seemed to become even paler.
In just a moment, he suppressed the pain, his dark eyes were faintly crazy, and the hand that was pressed against the girl's cheek turned around and held her palm-sized face lightly.
"Even if you stay with a monster like me every day, Shushu, don't you regret it?"
Yan Shu was forced to raise her head and look into Xiao Yu's dark, deathly eyes.
His face was pale, but his lips were as red as blood.
This appearance is exactly the same as the ghost in the picture book.
And at this moment, the hand holding her cheek, the biting coldness made Yan Shu feel even more frightened.
But she had no choice.
She nodded tremblingly, tears in her eyes: "I am willing."
An ambiguous smile appeared in the eyes of the young and handsome king, and he sighed softly.
"Shushu is always so kind to others."
Xiao Yu's tone seemed calm, but there was a hint of madness in his eyes. Finally, his thin lips, still stained with blood, pressed an inch above Yan Shu's lips, and the cold scent of snow-covered pine wood was already entangled.
"Then Shushu can also be nicer to me, please."
As for what kind of good it is, it goes without saying.
Yan Shu's gaze fell on Xiao Yu's thin lips, which were so close to her, with blood still on the corners of his mouth.
Yan Shu didn't know whose blood it was, or whether it was not human blood.
Her heart trembled, and Yan Shu didn't want to think about it anymore.
Now she has no choice. As long as Qingtao survives, it doesn't matter what she does.
So Yan Shuqing closed her eyes gently, grabbed the collar of Xiao Yu's shirt, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
But at the moment of the kiss, someone covered her lips with his hand.
The warm kiss fell on the palm of his hand, causing Xiao Yu's dark pupils to shrink.
The wrong touch made Yan Shu open her eyes instantly, and when she saw the hand covering her lips, her almond-shaped eyes were stunned for a moment.
She naturally didn't understand Xiao Yu's behavior. His words just now clearly meant that he wanted her to please him, but now he rejected her kiss.
Looking at the girl's dark eyes, Xiao Yu felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest.
A little bit of pain spread throughout his internal organs, gnawing at his entrails. He forcefully suppressed the fishy-sweet feeling in his throat, raised his eyes and looked fixedly at the girl in front of him.
His blood parasite needed fresh snake blood to suppress it, but when it broke out today, he didn't drink a single sip of the blood Zhou Tong sent him.
He tried to restrain himself, but ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Yu didn't understand why he was being stubborn.
He is a monster, yes.
But for some reason, he didn't want to stain her at all by being like this.
Looking at Xiao Yu's dark eyes at this moment, Yan Shu didn't understand what he meant. She just gently moved his hand away from her lips and looked at his watery eyes with tenderness.
"I am willing to please the king, as long as the king spares Qingtao's life."
After Yan Shu finished speaking, she bit her lip and pulled apart the thin Yishan covering her chest, revealing the snow-white and soft flesh of Baoman. Then she placed the young king's icy palm against it.
The undulating warmth and warmth seeped into the cold palm little by little, causing Xiao Yu's Adam's apple to swell.
