For a moment, Shen Chen looked at his legs and hesitated.

Lin Xi looked back and saw that he hadn't moved, and urged: "What are you doing standing still? Take off your clothes quickly."

"I……"

"I understand. I see you are shy and embarrassed to take off your clothes, right? Then I'll turn around and wait. Let me know when you've finished taking off your clothes." Lin Xi turned around.

Shen Chen: "..."

After a while, Lin Xi heard some rustling noises, and then Shen Chen's deep voice sounded: "Okay."

Lin Xi turned around and glanced casually, but suddenly her feet felt like they were filled with lead and it was difficult to move.

Shen Chen sat on the bed, leaning his upper body against the wall. The two exposed legs were straight and slender, but they were covered with dense black scars.

Lin Xi could tell that some were scars from knives, some were arrow wounds and whip scars, some were scars left by ulcerated skin, and most were scars left by the skin being gouged out, making them look pitted and uneven.

To be fair, it's definitely not pretty.

Even shocking.

Lin Xi was even more shocked and her mind went blank because she had never thought that she would see so many injuries and scars on a person's body.

Shen Chen had calmed down at this time and said: "I didn't want to do it before, and I was a little afraid that you would dislike it after seeing it."

Lin Xi's eyes were hot, and she immediately went over, put a towel on his leg, and said, "How could it be? You are my husband-in-law. Even if I dislike anyone or my children, I will never dislike you."

Shen Chen hummed.

But I don’t know if I believe it or not.

Lin Xi didn't know what to say, so she turned around and washed two more towels. From the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Chen coming down to help her. She hurriedly said, "Don't move, I'm not afraid of getting burned."

Lin Xi felt that her heart hurt even more.

She took a deep breath, took the tools to the bedside, sat down, lit the oil lamp, and started disinfecting the tools with strong liquor.

After a while, Lin Xi felt that the dressing was almost done, so she took the towel. Then she took a bottle of medicinal powder from the box, mixed it with water and made a cup, and asked Shen Chen to drink it.

She looked at Shen Chen's legs: "I'm going to start."

Shen Chen nodded.

Lin Xi said calmly: "Don't be afraid."

Shen Chen hummed, "I won't be afraid."

Lin Xi: "I'm talking about myself, don't be afraid that your hands will be shaking and the cutting will be crooked."

Shen Chen: "...Believe in yourself."

…

at the same time.

Distant Hai County, Chen Family Private School.

Dabao spent the whole morning taking exams during the day, and in the afternoon Master Li sent someone to call him over. He went to a study room and read with him until the evening.

Finally, he was able to eat dinner, but unexpectedly, the dinner was gone, leaving only two steamed buns. He and his boy quickly asked the cook to start cooking again.

Seeing that the cook was a little unhappy, Dabao said, "No, I'm not very hungry. I'll just eat tomorrow morning. It's getting late, and I want to go back and rest."

The boy then led him back to the school building.

When Dabao arrived in the courtyard of the school, he asked the boy to leave and went to his room.

There was no one else on the road, and his stomach suddenly growled. Dabao touched his stomach, and his eyes suddenly felt sore.

He sniffed, wiped his face with his sleeve, and secretly warned himself: This is only the first day, he must not be so worthless, otherwise he will disgrace his parents.

Dabao gathered his emotions and when he was about to reach the room, he saw that it was very bright inside and there were noisy voices.

He hesitated at the door and did not go in.

As a result, the door suddenly opened, and Dabao was startled.

Before he could regain his senses, the person inside dragged him in first and said enthusiastically: "You are another classmate of my master's, right? You came back just in time. I am dividing things. Please take your share."

Dabao took a closer look and saw in front of him a young man in rich clothes and robes. He was about the same age as him.

Looking further inside, I saw a young man in green clothes sitting in front of the table, with an elegant look on his face.

The young master pulled him to the table and said, "You can choose, take whichever one you like."

When Dabao saw the jade pendants, silver locks, pearls and silver swords on the table, he was a little surprised and shook his head: "I don't want them."

"Why?" The young master was unhappy, "Do you look down on me?"

Dabao said: "It's too expensive, I can't bear it."

The young master said: "This is nothing. If you don't accept it, you won't give me face!"

Dabao still shook his head. Unexpectedly, the young master actually hugged a bunch of them and ran to his bedside to put them on top. He turned back and glared at him: "I can't, if you refuse again, don't blame me for falling out with you!"

"

Dabao: "..."

The young man in green said: "You accept it, he gave it to me too. On the first day we met, let's talk about our feelings. It just so happens that I also have a gift to give you."

"What what?"

The young master immediately became interested.

The young man in green turned to his cabinet, opened it and took out two sandalwood boxes, then came back and handed them to them.

The young master opened it first and saw that inside was a fine langhao pen.

He said with a grimace: "Well, if my mother were here, she would be happy to see it. Unfortunately, I am not interested in studying, so it is of no use to me. But it doesn't matter, I like it just as much!"

Dabao had no choice but to take it and open it. His was a short knife inlaid with beads and jade.

The young master's eyes lit up, "Let's switch, I like yours!"

Dabao had no objection and handed it to him.

The young master pulled out his dagger and made a gesture, which made Dabao retreat.

The young man in green said: "It hasn't been sharpened yet, so don't be afraid."

After the young master couldn't put it down, he looked at Dabao and asked, "Have you prepared a gift for me?"

Dabao nodded: "Yes, but it's not as valuable as yours."

"What's there? Take it out and show it to me!" the young master urged.

The young man in green also looked at Dabao expectantly.

Dabao looked around and guessed that Lin Xi might have put it in the cabinet for him, so he walked towards the cabinet. The young master followed eagerly behind him.

But when Dabao opened the cabinet door, there were clothes and belongings at the bottom, and other things on top, but most of them were food. They were very full, and you couldn't see where the gifts bought last night were.

"What does it taste like? It's quite fragrant? Is it meat?" the young master suddenly exclaimed.

The young man in green clothes also came over curiously.

Dabao said: "There is meat. My mother made spicy, spicy and sour meat for me."

"What's spicy?"

The two were confused.

Dabao simply took out a few wrapped in oil paper, spread them out at the table, and called them over.

"My mother's cooking is delicious. You can try it. If you don't have chopsticks, just wash your hands and take it with your hands."

The smell inside spread out, and the two people who had never tasted it swallowed their saliva and washed their hands without thinking.

The young master ate the sour and spicy meat jerky first, and his eyes widened as soon as he took it into his mouth.

"Hiss...this smell...water! Water!"

Dabao poured him water without any surprise. Seeing this, the young man in green hesitated with his hands.
