I felt that Si Jiangchen's body was like a porcelain cracked by a shock. A slight movement would cause more serious injuries.
Lin Shuya wanted to step forward to help him, but suddenly remembered the rules set by Si Jiangchen.
No one was allowed to enter Si Jiangchen's private residence;
No one was allowed to get close to him when he was injured!
"Achen!"
When Si Jiangchen asked me to help him, Lin Shuya completely broke down. Regardless of the presence of the doctors, she cried and grabbed my arm like a willful little girl.
"Why! She's only known you for how long! How can she compare with me! Achen, I won't accept it! You can't treat me like this!"
Her fingernails dug deeply into the skin of my arm, causing a burning pain.
"Do you want to die?"
The handkerchief in Si Jiangchen's hand was soaked with blood, and his voice was as deep as thunder in the distance. "If you don't want this family affection, you can continue to make trouble!"
I struggled hard to break free from Lin Shuya's hand. "I don't have the mood to play any rich - family dramas with you! Now that Si Tong has been saved, my job is done! Stay away from me all of you!!"
I was originally dazed by Si Jiangchen's tenderness. Lin Shuya's sudden outburst just now made me suddenly sober. The stinging pain on my arm and this luxurious family ward made me realize that this was not my life. What ability did I have to be with the most sought - after tycoon in the capital?
Even if he was a zombie who could kill with a touch...
Covering the wound on my arm scratched by her, I gritted my teeth and ran outside.
I saw clearly just now that the spell Si Jiangchen left on Si Tong's forehead was the Soul - Fixing Spell.
Si Tong's soul was already stable. What reason did I have to stay here!
"Du... Sister Xiaohe..."
Suddenly, a very weak cry came from behind. It was Si Tong struggling desperately to raise his head from the hospital bed and shouting, "Tongtong begs you to stay..."
This little rascal still dared to make demands on me?!
I thought angrily in my heart and didn't look back!
"Wuwuwu..." Si Tong's hoarse cry was very weak, but it kept drilling into my ears. "If Dad will die... Please save Dad..."
How could Si Jiangchen die!
He was a zombie! As long as he wasn't burned to ashes, he should have a way to recover...
However, Si Tong was crying so hard that I still couldn't help but look back.
I only saw more and more blood seeping out of Si Jiangchen's handkerchief. He didn't seem to care at all and just looked up at me. Our eyes met, and my heart trembled for no reason. My steps involuntarily slowed down...
In the end, I still stayed.
While despising my own saintly heart, I honestly turned back.
Si Jiangchen took the Yin Five Thunder for me. I couldn't be so ungrateful and just run away... At least, I should use my blood to help him regain some vitality today!
Lin Shuya still cried and made a fuss like a little girl. Steward Tang brought two servants to take her to wash and tidy up.
The two doctors repeatedly said that Si Jiangchen's injury needed to be treated, but Si Jiangchen just asked them to take good care of Si Tong, then leaned on me and went back to his room on the third floor.
Far away from the chaos downstairs, I opened the door of a bedroom as Si Jiangchen guided.
He leaned on me, looking half - dead. The blood not only soaked the handkerchief, but also left patches of red on his cuffs and front of his clothes.
"You're kind - hearted after all..." he said with a low laugh.
"Stop talking... What should we do now? Are you going to bite me?"
I pulled down my collar to expose my neck. "Then I can go home, right!"
"Yeah."
Si Jiangchen's fingers stroked the pulse on my neck. He said rather cheekily, "I'm surrounded by the smell of blood. I have no appetite."
Come on!!!
You're a zombie! You live on sucking blood! How could you dislike the smell of blood?!
"It's dirty..."
Si Jiangchen pointed to his shirt. There were dark, wet patches on the black fabric, which looked out of place with his usual abstinent and tidy appearance. "Help me wash up, Xiaohe."
I naively thought he meant for me to wash his clothes...
When I came to my senses, I had been pulled into the bathtub by him.
The stinging pain on my neck was far less intense than the shivering of my body. He didn't give me any chance to sober up. As the light - red blood in the bathtub rippled in layers of waves, I felt like I was going to be drowned in the ocean of desire.
"Xiaohe, you owe me a lot."
He held my waist and murmured beside my neck, "How could you just leave..."
...
The morning sun slipped through the gap in the curtain and shone on my face.
The scorching light woke me up from my deep sleep.
I groggily turned my head. Si Jiangchen was no longer by my side.
Yawning slightly, I rubbed my eyes and was about to get up from the bed when I met a pair of big, black - and - white eyes staring at me without blinking.
I was startled and suddenly bounced up from the pillow.
"Ah!"
The owner of those big eyes also let out a frightened scream.
"Sister Xiaohe, it's me... Tongtong!!"
After a night's rest, the childish voice finally regained some of its innocent charm. Si Tong's thin little face was dominated by a pair of big eyes. He was lying on the edge of the bed, propping his chin with his hands and looking at me. Seeing that I was startled, he quickly introduced himself in a soft voice, "It's me, the one who went to the store to ask you to save my dad!"
"You little rascal!!"
I got angry as soon as I heard what he said. I reached out to pinch his cheek. "It's all your fault!! That's why I got entangled by your dad!"
"Ouch..."
With his little face pinched by me, Si Tong tilted his head and grinned. "It wasn't me. Grandpa Du taught me... He told me to pretend to listen to the bad guys so that I could escape and ask you for help! Otherwise... How would I know the address of your home?"
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Indeed, Si Tong and my grandfather Du Wenzhong were detained in the same place. It was impossible for a little kid like Si Tong to know the address of our small store.
In conclusion, the real culprit behind all this was actually my unreliable grandfather!!
I almost wanted to cover my head and shout!
This old swindler even caused me trouble after becoming a ghost!
He probably only heard from Si Tong that his dad was extremely rich! So this guy told Si Tong that I was a feng shui master who could help Si Jiangchen get rid of the danger around him!!
In order to earn some extra income for the store, but he didn't expect that Si Jiangchen was a truly dangerous guy, and I got entangled with him and couldn't get away!
"Sister, Grandpa Du was right! You're so amazing..."
Si Tong hugged my arm and stuck out his tongue cutely. He said, "You're my dad's great savior."
"I... I'm not amazing!"
Being praised by a cute little boy, I felt a bit of vanity in my heart.
"Yeah!! Dad has never hugged anyone before. Even Tongtong can't sleep in his bed. Sister Xiaohe! You... You can even sleep here for a whole night!"
Si Tong carefully patted the soft bed. "... Can I roll on it too?!"
