He pulled a box from beside the bed, dragged it in front of her, and opened it.
Shen Zhiyi pulled her cloak tighter, looked down, and stared wide-eyed at what was inside.
Jewelry, accessories, clothing, ornaments...
All sorts of items, judging by their quality, are top-notch.
"Did you go rob someone?" She turned her head blankly and stared at him.
Duan Xingzhi chuckled softly.
He ruffled her hair. "I won't do things you don't like."
Shen Zhiyi felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Then where did you get the money?" She picked up a string of pearl hairpins, the gemstones on them shining brightly even in the dark.
This shows how expensive it is.
"Earned it," Duan Xingzhi said casually.
Among the more expensive targets in the assassin's guild, he chose the most heinous one.
He knew she was kind-hearted and took pleasure in saving people.
If she earned the money by killing good people, she would probably feel uncomfortable using it.
He didn't want her to hate or distance herself from him because of this.
The bully's house was full of hidden weapons. In order to return before dawn, he took a pill specially developed by the Assassin's Hall before carrying out the mission, which could delay the pain.
He infiltrated the mansion and killed the bully with little effort.
Although she was hit by a hidden weapon when leaving the mansion, fortunately there were no external injuries, so it was not something to worry about.
He took his reward money and went to the best shops in the market, knocking on their doors and asking them to bring out their best items.
The shop owners were quite shocked.
How could a masked man in black wake them up in the middle of the night and threaten them with a knife, not to rob them, but to buy their most expensive items so they could make money?
Everyone was stunned.
I thought I hadn't woken up from my dream yet.
"Why did you buy all this stuff for me?" Shen Zhiyi asked, looking at the pile of things in the box.
Duan Xingzhi took the hairpin from her hand and helped her insert it into her hair.
This is a kingfisher feather hairpin inlaid with sapphires. The head of the hairpin is inlaid with three sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, which are polished to a very smooth finish, like several pools of lake water, shimmering gently in the hair.
It is also adorned with tiny sea pearls, with three silver tassels hanging down, each end of which is dangling a tiny sapphire, swaying gently with movement.
It suits her very well.
Duan Xingzhi's eyes softened. "It's for your medical expenses."
Tell me what you like, and I'll find it for you later.
The words were spoken.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly felt a dull pain in her internal organs.
She suddenly frowned.
She pressed her hand to her chest, leaning forward with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and asked him, "Are you hurt?"
Her gaze lingered on Duan Xingzhi's bare chest, then she took his hand and carefully took his pulse.
That's when they discovered he had suffered internal injuries.
However, it was as if some kind of pill had suppressed his senses.
She only started feeling the pain now that the medication was wearing off.
Shen Zhiyi immediately took out her sachet, took out a painkiller, and held it to his lips.
"Quickly...eat this."
"The pain will stop once you eat it."
She's afraid of pain.
She always carried such pills with her at all times.
I don't even take it off when I sleep.
Duan Xingzhi grasped her wrist, gazing at her intently, as if confirming something, and said, "This kind of injury is commonplace for me."
"It'll be fine in a couple of days, why are you so concerned?"
"Why could it be?" Shen Zhiyi couldn't hold back any longer.
The pain was spreading subtly throughout the internal organs.
Tears welled in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she said, "Because you are in pain, I am in pain too."
Duan Xingzhi's eyes trembled, and ripples spread across his heart.
He pulled her wrist and, using her hand, swallowed the pill.
His thin lips enveloped her fingertip.
In an instant, Shen Zhiyi trembled all over.
