Shen Shu suddenly didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only try her best to hug him and pass on the weak warmth of her body to him little by little.
Lin Zhi was afraid that she would be sad, so he raised his hand and touched her back.
After a while, she suddenly spoke in a low voice, as if telling him or herself, "When you get to the Valley of Desolation and find the Poison Doctor, your illness will be cured."
Lin Zhi said "Hmm" and kissed her hair, which still had the fresh fragrance of soap locust.
Shen Shu felt relieved, buried her head in his neck, and called him in a low voice, "Azhi..."
"Aluo." He replied.
He likes her name, but doesn't like it being called, just like he likes her wearing purple clothes, but doesn't like her wearing it for others to see.
Her beauty, charm, and gentleness can only belong to him forever. He will be unhappy if others even get a glimpse of her.
Shen Shu said "hmm" and then closed her eyes in Lin Zhi's arms.
Lin Zhi was afraid that she would be sad and unable to sleep, so he coaxed her until she fell asleep before getting up and going out.
There was a cool breeze tonight. He originally wanted to go to the back mountain to see the woman, but halfway through, he didn't want to go.
He turned his head, and the wind blew from the top of the mountain and hit his back. Even though it was already mid-March, the wind on the mountain was still so cold. Feeling the cool breeze, he suddenly thought that the woman in the past was also so cold to him.
He remembered the day that woman committed suicide. That day she inserted a dagger into her heart and grabbed his trouser leg with her bloody hands. Even though she was already dying, she still smiled wildly.
He didn't understand why she laughed at the time, and he didn't understand until two years later.
By that time his health was getting worse and worse.
Because he had been fed poison by that woman all year round, his body was already different from that of ordinary people. He had to keep taking poison to survive, and each poison attack made him more and more irritable.
At that time, all he could think about was detoxification and survival. Finally, on that day, he found a way to detoxify.
It turns out that the only way to detoxify is to use the blood of a close relative as a medicine.
His mother killed his father and then committed suicide. His whole body was filled with poison and it was impossible to give birth.
That day, he finally understood why the woman was smiling.
…
The next day, Shen Shu got up early in the morning and went to talk to Shen Xiao for a long time.
She could clearly feel that the boy was not in a good state. Shen Shu didn't know if he heard something last night, and she didn't know how to comfort him. She could only raise her hand and stroke his head.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao suddenly raised his head, met her eyes, and asked, "Sister, is he good to you?"
Shen Shu was stunned, and then said naturally, "Very good."
Shen Xiao tried hard to see a hint of lying in his sister's eyes, but... couldn't find it at all.
Those eyes were so sincere, so sincere that he felt strangely sad in his heart.
He once thought that if Lin Zhi had such a bad reputation in the capital, he would definitely not be kind to his sister. He worked hard every day to practice swordsmanship and martial arts, thinking that if he had the ability one day, he would rescue his sister.
But I never thought that the two of them were consensual.
He suddenly lowered his head in frustration and quietly tugged at the corner of Shen Shu's clothes until they were so wrinkled that she could no longer wrinkle and could not speak anymore.
However, Shen Shu suddenly understood the young man's worries and slowly hugged him into her arms, "Don't be afraid, you will always be my brother. As long as you want it, Jingninghou Mansion will always be your home."
Her embrace always gave people warmth. Shen Xiao buried his face in her embrace and wanted to cry again.
But this time he didn't cry, he had grown up.
Before, it was Jingning Houfu and his sister who protected him, but now it's his turn to protect his sister and the Houfu.
The young man suddenly made up his mind. When he raised his head again, his eyes were shining again, and Shen Shu felt relieved.
She returned to the room to find Lin Zhi, who was still dealing with matters. She took the initiative to sit in his arms. Lin Zhi thought she was ill again, so he stretched out his arms to hug her and said softly, "Want more?"
Shen Shu blushed and was about to push him away, but Lin Zhi suddenly chuckled, put down the brush, and circled her with both hands.
Tsk, it was obviously not the same attitude when I begged him yesterday.
And the night before yesterday, when I wrapped my legs around him and begged him to drink water, my attitude was not the same.
She handled him so naturally every day, and when she was sick, she asked him to take care of her with confidence.
Tsk, ungrateful kitten.
He carried her to the bed and said softly, "I'm going out to do some errands. Wait until I come back."
Shen Shu nodded, and Lin Zhi spoke again, "If you want, just call Changfeng and let Changfeng find me."
Shen Shu nodded again, and Lin Zhi felt that she was nodding obediently, so he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her face again.
He just went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Xiao watching him not far away.
Shen Xiao pursed his lips and came to Lin Zhi. Even though the young man had grown very fast, he was not as tall as Lin Zhi. In order to see his eyes clearly, he could only raise his head slightly.
His eyes were very firm, "I have something very important to do with you."
Lin Zhi said "tsk" and didn't want to pay attention to his little nephew and love rival.
Shen Xiao was reluctant, "I heard that you want to find a prince to be the future emperor."
Lin Zhi then lowered his head to look at Shen Xiao in surprise, and then concluded, "You are too weak."
Whether it is knowledge, martial arts, or psychology, they are all too weak.
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Shen Xiao stubbornly stopped in front of Lin Zhi and looked at him firmly, "I can, I want to protect my sister and Jingninghou Mansion."
Lin Zhi looked at the stubborn young man in front of him and said again, "You have to defeat Changfeng first."
This time the young man finally let him go. Lin Zhi walked straight forward. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw that the young man had picked up the long sword and actually wanted to compete with Chang Feng.
He smiled.
…
Lin Zhi didn't come back until the evening, and Shen Shu waited and started to get sick again. She was embarrassed to let Changfeng go to Lin Zhi because of this, so she had to endure it alone.
She first took a medical book to read, but she couldn't stand the content, so she had to put it down. She felt a little stuffy in the room, so she went out.
Although the cool breeze in the house blew away the dryness on her body, she still felt uncomfortable after walking around casually. She returned to the house and lay on the bed alone, covering her face with the quilt.
She thought of her irrational madness every time she got sick, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
What should she do if she continues like this...
If this continues, will Executive Lin begin to dislike her?
She just buried herself in the quilt and kept thinking and thinking until after a stick of incense, Lin Zhi came back.
As soon as he came back, he noticed the person who was slumped under the quilt like a turtle, and found it a bit funny, so he went up to lift her quilt.
As soon as he opened it, he saw that Shen Shu's face was already flushed. He clearly raised his hand to feel her pulse. Knowing that she was sick again, he said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Shen Shu still had some sense, so she stood up and buried her face in his chest, "Azhi..."
