For twenty years, she had cultivated with a clear mind and had never ventured into the âred worldâ, so she was helpless against such honest and fiery words of love.
After calming down, Zhan Qingchen put away the bowl of soup, âTake a rest, I will continue brewing your medicine tomorrow.â
â Wait a moment.â
Shu Shi pulled her back.
Zhan Qingchenâs body instantly stiffened, her expression panicked, âWhat, what are you doing?â
This man isnât trying to kiss me again, is he!
In that case, should I refuse or not?
Although it didnât feel bad being kissed by him, we had just established our relationship, wasnât this a bit too soon?
In an instant, a million thoughts swept through her mind and her whole body couldnât help but freeze in place.
Shu Shi said, âDonât be nervous, I just want to talk to you.â
âI see.â
Zhan Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
But a hint of inexplicable disappointment swept through her heart.
Shu Shi didnât know what was on her mind and continued, âBy the way, thereâs something I havenât had a chance to tell you, but my wound has actually healed.â
âImpossible.â
Zhan Qingchen shook her head, âDonât lie to me, I know how heavy your wounds are, and Medicine King also said that it will take at least three months of healing to completely recover.â
Seeing that she did not believe him, Shu Shi simply pulled up his clothes, revealing his strong and sturdy chest.
âOh my!â
Zhan Qingchen hurriedly covered her eyes and said incoherently, âSpeak up, why did you, you, you take off your clothes? Iâm not a frivolous woman like you think!â
ââŠâŠâ
Shu Shi said helplessly, âI really didnât lie to you, if you donât believe me, see for yourself.â
She quietly opened her fingers and blinked her eyes to look through the cracks.
She saw his smooth and flat chest, and his wounds had disappeared, leaving not even the slightest scar.
Zhan Qingchen was a little incredulous.
Her delicate fingers touched him carefully to make sure his wound had completely healed.
âHow is that possible?â
Shu Shi shrugged, âProbably because I had a good constitution and recovered quickly.â
Zhan Qingchenâs heart jumped.
She knew how badly Shu Shi was injured.
Being stabbed in the chest by a sharp sword and then forcibly burning his blood, it was a miracle that he survived, how could he heal so quickly?
If he had this kind of skill, he wouldnât have lost to herself in the first place!
The only possibility is that âŠâŠ
He did it on purpose!
He hid his strength from the start and didnât fight back even when he was stabbed in the chest with a sharp sword!
âShu Shi, I hate you to death!â
Shu Shi: âHuh?â
Zhan Qingchenâs eyes misted up, âYou idiot, why donât you ever think of yourself? Your life is precious too!â
At this moment, the pent-up emotions completely exploded.
Zhan Qingchen threw herself into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Shu Shi was dumbfounded.
Unaware of the fact that the other party had regarded him as a great hero who was willing to sacrifice himself.
After a while, her sobs gradually stopped.
Zhan Qingchen raised her head, her face still streaked with tears, âDonât do that again, I want you to live well!â
Although Shu Shi was unsure, he nodded and said, âI wonât die, I must continue my love affair with Chief Zhan.â
âFlirtatious! Talking nonsense again.â
Zhan Qingchen smacked him sullenly, but was reluctant to use any strength.
The two embraced each other quietly.
The air felt warm and calm.
Only after Zhan Qingchen calmed down did she realize how intimate the two were in their position.
Her cheek was buried in Shu Shiâs chest and she could clearly hear the strong and powerful heartbeat.
His hands were on her waist, and she could feel the searing heat coming from them even through her clothes.
Zhan Qingchenâs cheeks were flushed and her entire body was dizzy, unable to gather any strength at all.
She was so shy, but she was reluctant to let him go.
âShu Shi, Iâm âŠâŠâ
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.
The two separated like lightning, and Zhan Qingchen turned around, a faint blush still on her face.
Xiaoqing pushed the door open and walked in.
âHuh? Chief, youâre here too.â
Zhan Qingchen frowned and said, âWhy didnât you knock on the door?â
âI came to get the food box and didnât know that you were also here. You âŠâŠâ
âAhem, I just came in too.â
Zhan Qingchenâs eyes fluttered, âWell, hurry up and come out, donât disturb Mr. Shuâs rest.â
âYes.â
Xiaoqing always felt that something was wrong.
The two walked out of the room.
Xiaoqing asked, âChief, are you still going to brew the medicinal food yourself tomorrow?â
Zhan Qingchen shook her head and said, âThereâs no need to brew it, Shu Shiâs wound has already healed.â
âSo fast?â
Xiaoqing was surprised, âBut I remember yesterday his wound hadnât healed yet!â
Zhan Qingchen frowned, âHow do you know that?â
Xiaoqing said, âIâve been wiping his body all this time, so of course I can see how his wounds are healing.â
âWiping, wiping his body? !â
Zhan Qingchenâs breath caught.
Xiaoqing said casually, âDidnât you say you wanted me to take good care of him? Heâs unconscious and no one else is allowed to know his whereabouts, so Iâm the only one who can take care of him.â
ââŠâŠâ
âChief doesnât need to praise me, itâs all what I have to do. But then again, Shu Shi has a very nice body âŠâŠâ
Zhan Qingchen clenched her silver teeth and said coldly, âYou just entered the room without knocking, you will be punished with a fine of half a yearâs salary, plus one month of cleaning the hut.â
